A/N: Hey guys this is my first fan fic so take it easy with me. Ok now this is set five years after the last book and I don't remember how old Leah was in that book (I think maybe 16), but in my book that's how old she is, so that makes her 21 and in college in this book. So far this is a one shot but I would really like to make it not so please review and give me any ideas. Oh and one more thing I suck and hate grammar so much so sorry if it sucks and if anyone likes grammar and would like to correct mine tell me in the review and a plus for them they get to see the story before anyone else. Ok on with the show.

Leah sat in her dorm room. She was at her computer supposedly doing her essay for school, but all she could think about was Ethan. It's been 5 years since she made the longest drive in her life back to Nappannee and then to the Longacre's farm, to drop Ethan off at home. Since then Leah has tried to get over Ethan but has failed, she will always love Ethan her first and so far only love. For a whole month after Ethan left to go back to his Amish ways and Leah stayed in her English ways, Leah cried herself to sleep. She eventually got over that and started to get on with her life the only problem with getting on with her life was every guy she would go out with would get compared to Ethan. So she would turn them down even when they were perfect for her.

Anna just walked into the dorm room and interrupted my memories from the time me and Ethan went to the fair and then slept underneath the stars bundling. I jumped and accidently hit the 'F' key and made two rows of ffffffffffffffffffffff on my page.

"Jesus Anna you scared me half to death"

"Oh only half" Anna said jokingly. I picked one of my cushions off of my bed and throw it at her. Laughing she caught it before it smacked her in the face and then walked over to the computer. And looked at the screen and read what I had written so far on the screen "after cutting off the circulation of the blood with the rubber band, you wait a couple of seconds for the blood to put pressure in the vein before sliding the needle into the arm ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff" she finished laughing and preceded to say "now shouldn't there be a 'u' somewhere in there"

"Shut-up you scared me and I pressed 'f' when I jumped, I'm not telling my teacher to f u"

"shish a little jumpy today. What where you thinking about? Or should I say who."

Anna and I have been best friends ever since we found out we would be sharing a dorm together. She knows all about Ethan and thinks I am completely over him, what she does not know is that I still think about him all the time. Even though I haven't told Anna that I think about Ethan all the time I think that she knows about it all on her own. Every time we are together she makes me forget all about Ethan and the fact that I 'used' to have bone cancer. She makes me laugh and when I go for check-ups she is there, without me even asking her to be there for me. We go to parties together and sometimes double date (shut-up we're only 21 we can still double). Anna is like a perfect best friend, if she were a guy I might have to compare Ethan to her (ok just kidding). No but seriously she's the best.

"I'm thinking about what to write not about a guy (lie), not everyone thinks about guy's all the time (double lie), god get your mind out of the gutter" Anna was completely laughing her head off as I said that and said

"All right, alright just wondering you had a dreamy look in your face when I came in and I thought you might be thinking about Alex". I gave her a glare and she just smiled back at me saying "come on he's cute, and handsome all in one, he's studying to become a doctor, and is really hot, oh and the best thing about him is he totally has the hot's for you."

Anna was right, Alex was perfect and another thing Anna didn't mention was that he was a complete gentleman. I really wanted to go out with him but I was scared. If I did go out with him then I know that I definitely don't want it to be just a fling. But that would mean that he would be my fist serious relationship since Ethan, and maybe even my first. Yeah I know I'm a 21 year old virgin, but after Ethan, like I said I have never had a serious relationship, and I'm not about to just give the big 'v' away to just anybody. It had to be the right guy. Alex has asked me out twice but both times I have said no, I know what you are thinking that I only said no because I was scared but the real reason is that I was really busy, I mean it I was really busy. Ok ok I was scared but I was also busy. I mean it!

"I know that Alex is a nice guy and everything but I don't think he will ask me out again after I blew him off twice"

"Well you shouldn't have blown him off then" I just rolled my eye's and said

"Not my fault I already had plans" Now it was her time to roll her eye's at me

"Sure, you could have blown off your plans" I sighed

"How many times do I have to go over this, first time it was my mothers birthday and I was not going to leave her alone and second time I had a class that I couldn't skip because of a test" god I have only told her that like 'FORTY' times!

"Ok, ok well if he asked you again what would you say?"

"If I wasn't busy then yes"

"Then lets go"

"Go where?"

"To a party that Alex's roommate is throwing at their house" God, the only thing wrong about Anna is that all she wants to do is talk about boys and go to parties. Sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's not. Like now, when I want to finish my essay on 'How to Draw Blood' so I can become a nurse just like Molly and help people feel better.

Unfortunately Anna wouldn't let me stay and kept saying that I had a whole week to finish my essay so what's one little day that I take a break. I hopped into the shower and washed my hair and every other thing you do in the shower, then got out and blow dried my long dark hair. I then got dressed in my favorite light pink mini skirt and a white tank top, I put on my pink flip flops and swept the top of my hair into a messy bun on the top of my head. I put on my make-up that consisted of mascara and eye liner and a tad bit of eyeshadow that made my emerald eye's pop. After Anna and I were ready we went down to my red convertible and I drove the 10 minute drive to Alex's house.

When we got there we were greeted by Brad, Alex's roommate who said, "Welcome to the party. Drinks are in the kitchen and dancing in the living room. Have fun." Then he took Anna's coat (I had left mine in my car) and hung it up . Anna pulled me into the kitchen and grabbed a beer for her and a diet coke for me (I was driving and don't drink a lot anyway) we started to drink and Anna was looking all around for someone or something.

"What in the heck are you looking for"

"Oh you'll see" we stood there for 5 minutes before she dragged me into different rooms looking for someone. Normally this isn't what we do at parties, but when Anna is on a mission-and you could tell she was on a mission, there is no stopping her. Finally after fifteen minutes, Anna left me and went over to Brad and started to whisper something to him. He pointed out behind me and through the doors to the back yard were a bunch of people talking and dancing. Anna came back and grabbed my arm. "What was that about" I yelled over the music.

"Just finding out were Alex is."

"What" I yelled just as Anna opened the door into the back yard where I must say is a lot quieter then inside the house. So you can imagine how everyone stopped what they were doing and just stared at us. I pulled Anna over to the side and everyone went back to what they were doing before we came out, well everyone that is except for Alex who was staring at us (unless he was just staring at the corner that we were standing in). "What are you doing" I hissed at Anna

"You said that you would go out with Alex if he asked you again, so you are making yourself available for him to ask you." Anna whispered back at me. Oh God, I so hope that Alex can't read lips.

"Yeah so what are you planing on doing?"

"Well we are going to stand here until he comes over to talk and then I will leave and you two can talk"

"What if he never comes over to talk"

"We don't have to worry about that because here he comes" she whispered and then said in her normal voice "well I'm going back in to dance, c ya"

"Bye" and with that she turned around and walked back to the door and winked at me.

"Hey" someone said beside me.

"Oh hi Alex" Oh man Alex was so hot but he acted like he didn't know it which only made him hotter.

"So are you having fun"

"Oh yeah, you and Brad always throw great parties"

"Thanks" we stood there for a minute with Alex looking at me and me so nervous that I couldn't look him in his dark brown eye's all I kept thinking about was kissing him and running my hands through his soft curly blond hair, so much better then my wavy brown hair. Then after a couple of second he spoke again "so how was your test?"

"Good I got 98 on it"

"That's good, you have to study hard?"

"Yeah, in high school I barely had to study and now it's all the time"

"Yeah the same with me"

"Sorry we couldn't go out but I had that test"

"That's no problem." he paused and looked nervous "what are you doing this Friday night"

"Nothing"

"Would you like to take that rain check"

"Sure" he looked a lot relaxed after that and the conversation just flowed from there on like it was me and Anna talking (only me and a guy talking)

After we talked some more I went and found Anna and we said goodbye, and hopped in the car and drove home. All the way home Anna pried me for details and told me about her night. When I pulled up into the parking lot we got out and went up to our dorm then got ready for bed. Before I fell asleep, I noticed a light flashing indicating we had a message on the answering machine.
