It had been three weeks since Sean had come to visit. Ellie was laying on the couch watching the television when the phone rang. She thought it was Marco calling to tell her about his date with Dylan.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey babe." she heard Seans voice ring in her ear.

"Hi." she felt a smile creep onto her face.

"Sorry its been awhile since I called its just that I've been busy in school and Im working now." he said.

"Oh okay." she chewed on her bottom lip.

"Well Im calling to see if you can come spend the weekend with me."he asked.

"You mean it...When?" Ellie jumped up excitedly.

"Well my mom was going to let me borrow the car Friday so I thought Id come pick you up Friday morning and drop you off Monday night."

"But Sean I have school." Ellie sighed.

"So...come on

Ellie you can miss a couple days to see me right?" he pleaded.

"Yea I guess...I cant wait." she laughed.

"Well Ill see you Friday morning then" Sean said.

"We cant talk?" Ellie said feeling sad.

"Well maybe for a little while, but I have to go to work in a little while. I have to work late tonight and early tomorrow so I can take the weekend off."

"Oh okay." she sat back down on the couch.

"So..um...I miss you a lot."

"I miss you too Sean." she smiled again.

Yeah...Im coming..." she heard Sean yell to someone in the background. "...hey I don't mean to cut you off but I gotta go my ride is here."

" oh...um...okay." she looked down at her hands.

"See you Friday." he said

"okay I...Love you." she started to say but he hung up before she finished.

"Hey Ellie." Marco walked up to Ellie who was standing at her locker.

"Hey Marco."she shoved the rest of her books in her locker and grabed her notebook.

"On my god last night was so great." Marco said.

"You've been spending a lot of time with Dylan lately." Ellie looked at him as they started to walk down the hall.

"Yeah its been great." Marco grinned.

"Just be careful Marco remember what happened last time." Ellie sighed.

"So when is Sean suppose to come back?" Marco changed the subject.

"Hes not.." Ellie looked down at her hands.

"Oh Ellie." Marco put his arm around her.

"He wants me to go down there this weekend with him." She looked up at him.

"Thats good right?" Marco grinned at her.

"Yeah.. Im gonna get to meet his parents this weekend." Ellie bit her lip.

"Are you nervous?" Marco asked.

"A little but Im excited to go see Sean."she smiled

"Yea I bet." Marco looked over at Ellie.

"Shut up Marco." Ellie laughed pushing him playfully.

"Okay well look Ill see you later gotta get to class." Marco walked off shaking his head.

Ellie sat on the bed she had finished packing her bag to go to Seans . Sean had called about two hours ago too let her know he was on his way so he should be there soon. She was anxious to see him. It had only been a few weeks but it felt like forever. She was also anxious to meet his parents.

"Hey babe you here." she heard Sean call from the livingroom.

"Ever heard of knocking?" Ellie went and stood in the bedroom door.

'Since when do I have to knock at my own apartment?" he plopped down on the couch.

"Since you don't live her anymore..." she sighed. "...since you walked out and wanted to go live with your parents."

"Okay fine I get it Ill knock next time." he shrugged.

"That's all I ask." she walked over and kissed him on the cheek.

"So you got all your stuff ready to go?" he asked standing up.

"Yea its on the bed." she started to walk to the bedroom.

"I'll get it." he walked ahead of her and grabbed her bag. They walked out to the car.

They pulled up to Seans parents house and he got out pulling her bag out of the backseat.

"So this is it?" she asked biting her lip.

"Yeah...you've been here before remember?" he looked at her funny.

"Yeah but I didnt take that much time to look at it I was more concerned about you at the time." she followed him as he walked up the driveway and into what Jay had referred to as a lunch box. She didnt want to seem mean but it was pretty small and their was a lot of junk laying around.

Especially a lot of car parts and even a few cars with the hoods up that seemed to be being worked on. It sort of didnt surprise her because of how much Sean liked Auto Shop in school. She followed him into the house it was a little more cozy inside but still cramped. The front door lead into a small kitchen that was mostly taken up by a round diningroom table. It was a robins egg blue color and covered with brown cigarette burns. It reminded Ellie of a table at an old fifties diner. She smelled something cooking.

"Mom, Dad were home!..." Sean yelled into what looked like a livingroom. The television was turned up loud on what seemed like a game show. "...follow me." Sean nodded his head in the direction of were the television was blaring. She followed him. His dad was sitting in a recliner with his back facing them watching the television.

"Hey dad." Sean patted him on the head as he walked past.

"Mmm" his dad waved more like shooing him than a greeting.

He turned down a hallway and walked past two other doors before he walked through the door at the end of the hallway.

"Mom what are you doing?" Sean laughed as he threw Ellies bag into a chair next to the door.

"Oh I was just fixing it up a little." she grinned as she stood up from smoothing a wrinkle out of the bed.

"Well mom this is Ellie." Sean pulled her from where she was hiding behind him.

"Oh honey..." she threw her arms around her."..Its so good to finally meet you."

"Its nice to meet you too." Ellie grinned as his mom extended her arms to get a look at her.

"Oh you never told me she was so pretty baby." She looked Ellie up and down and then looked over at Sean.

"Cmon mom." Sean rolled his eyes at her.

"Okay well Ill leave you two alone so you can get settled...I've got dinner in the oven anyways." she said walking out the door.

"Smells great." Ellie smiled.

"Thanks hon' you like chicken right?" she asked.

"Love it." Ellie called to her.

"Thanks mom." Sean said closing the door.

"Sooo..."Ellie started.

"Sooo..."Sean repeated her pulling her towards him.

"Sooo...flowers." she burst out laughing.

"Hey don't laugh at my sheets." he pushed her down on the bed.

"Well at least they arent pink." she snickered.

"Yeah they are manly colors." Sean cleared his throat.

"But flowers, Sean?"

"Its my moms sheets...she changed them while I was gone." he shrugged.

"So what were they before?" Ellie asked.

"Power Rangers." he said under his breath.

"Excuse me did you say Power Rangers?" Ellie laughed.

Shut up power rangers were cool." he leered at her.

"Yea when we were linke five." Ellie raised an eyebrow at her.

"Shh..." he leaned down and kissed her.

"Hey Sean dinners ready" they heard his dad call over the television in the livingroom.

"Cmon lets eat and then Ill help you get your stuff situated." he stood up and pulled her up off the bed.
