Chapter 9
Preparing to meet Kyle and Jenn again, Jamie and Lyla sat on the bench, waiting for them to arrive.
"So, do you really think Daniel will manage to fix things for Sean and Cassidy?" Jamie asked after a moment of silence.
Lyla smiled. "I have faith in him, he kinda knows what they're going through after all. He was also a prisoner of Cassidy's father."
Jamie nodded. "True...well, if it does work, then maybe we can finally push past all this and look to the future."
"Yeah..." Lyla sighed.
Jamie grimaced, knowing what she was thinking.
He kicked himself. "Oh sorry, I didn't mean...have you told your dealer…?"
"Yeah, I did, he's not happy and is refusing to listen to reason." Lyla said sadly. "Now he's ordered me to wait until he calls me again, then he'll have arranged something to finally deal with my debt."
Jamie grimaced. "God Lyla, that's...I could..."
"No, no, I'll manage, just please, I don't want you getting hurt." Lyla insisted.
Jamie sighed but nodded, eyes downcast, wishing he really could do something for Lyla but her insistence that he didn't get too involved wasn't something he could just ignore.
"God, and there's still the issue of Jenn and Kyle being run off the road, this is just one big mess isn't it." Lyla remarked at last. "Then...there's my dad..."
Jamie put his arm around her. "I know, it's okay, I'll do anything to help you, you know that."
"If anything like what's happened to the others happens to us, you need to promise me, we'll learn from their mistakes, we won't end up...you know." Lyla whispered.
Jamie tightened his grip. "I promise."
They sat in silence for a while, both reflecting on the turmoil they were facing along with their friends.
Finally Jamie shook his head.
"You know what I think, we need a night to ourselves, to just...calm down and just be happy couples." He said.
Lyla grinned. "You know something, you're right. The last time Kyle and Jenn were facing problems we all took them to the beach, remember. We should do something different this time of course...but what?"
"Hmmm, we need to think about what might happen with Sean and Cassidy." Jamie replied. "If things go well they'll wanna spend time together, rebuild, but you, me, Kyle and Jenn, we could still do something...hmmm, maybe, a double date?"
Lyla nodded slowly. "Hmm, actually, that's a brilliant idea, I love it."
"As do I."
They started and then turned before grinning at the newly arrived Jenn and Kyle who had clearly overheard them.
"Hey there, so...you heard." Lyla greeted them.
Moving to sit with them, Jenn nodded. "Yeah, a double date huh, sounds good to me."
Kyle also nodded. "So, have we made any plans?"
"Nothing yet." Jamie admitted. "We only just came up with the idea. But hey, now we can discuss it together and finally come up with something."
After a brief pause, Kyle nodded.
"Sounds good, but maybe we should wait and see what's happened with Sean and Cassidy." He suggested.
The others nodded in agreement, waiting for Sean to arrive as they had arranged.
It was a short while later they saw Sean arrive and their hopes lifted when they saw his smile.
"Hey, Sean." Jamie called out as he approached.
Sean grinned. "Hi guys, so...did you put Daniel up to his little task?"
"Actually he decided it himself, but he did overhear us and told us what he had in mind." Kyle confirmed.
Lyla and Jenn both nodded and Sean's smile widened.
"Well, I'm glad it worked out...he's right, he's talking to Cassidy now." Sean explained. "After that, if it's gone well, I'm hoping I'll be able to talk to her and we'll figure things out from there."
The others smiled, hopeful that things did indeed go well and that everything would work out perfectly, that they could finally move onto the future.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
