I slid into the passenger seat of Quinton's army green jeep.

"Hey"

"Hey Ash you look good."

"Oh… thanks you too."

Quinton sat there looking completely relaxed in his faded jeans and pull over. I had forgotten how cold it got in the winter the heat was blasting in the car making my chock a little from its dryness.

"So where are we going?"

"I thought Olga's?"

I laughed at the suggestion that was the only 'famous' place around here. It was a little truck stop dinner but it's were all the kids from high school use to meet up.

"That's fine." I answered.

Quinton slowly moved his hand over to mine and held mine in his. I was taking back. Why was he doing this?

"I'm really glad were spending some time together." He said giving my hand a squeeze and letting it go.

I felt awkward I felt like everything was wrong. When I went out with Johnny guys couldn't even look at me and I loved about him I felt like I was always being protected. He was a bully but as sweet as pie to me. When I was going out with Quinton, Johnny use to come over to my house and sneak in my bedroom. We would spend all night talking and just holding each other. We never kissed he never pressured me until I finally couldn't take it anymore I need him I had to have him. I called Quinton up the next day and told him the long distance thing wasn't working. He tried to point out that we only lived 30 minutes away but I was done I knew what I wanted and I guess karma is a real bitch because what I did to Quinton sneaking around behind his back seeing Johnny came back to me 10 times worse.

We stayed silent the whole ride I concentrated on the music trying to just think about the lyrics and nothing else. Then my face lit up Drake song was on! I flipped!

"Turn it up! Turn it up!"

"Okay who is this?"

"It's Drake!"

I moved my head side to side like a giddy school girl singing every word. Its so funny because when I first met him I didn't even know who he was now I knew every song every word I love it, it was such a big part of him.

Quinton laughed at me I smiled back things started to unwind I stopped tensing up and relaxed. We finally arrived everything looked the same nothing out of place. We took a corner booth and ordered sodas.

"So how's life?" I asked.

"Army, school, stuff like that. How about you?"

"Umm… a lot of school and just a bunch of nothing."

"No job?"

I laughed a little it was a weird question to ask if I didn't mention it.

"No, Drake says I should worry about school first and when I get my certifications there be plenty of time to work."

"Your sister said you were pregnant, congratulations."

"No… not anymore I lost it."

"Oh I'm sorry. It was just something she wrote on her blog I must not have read the whole thing."

"No don't worry about it. It was a blessing in disguise. Drake was messing around with some bad stuff and I was really depressed but it made us think about our priorities. He actually wants to try for one again. I say we have our whole lives."

"Yeah well I guess he settled early he probably feels older then he is."

"Wow… your right he carries a lot on his shoulders."

The rest of the conversation was light and about the past, family and school. The truth was I wanted to originally go because I wanted to see if any of these feelings were worth the brain space but the truth was there was nothing between us it was completely flat. There were no more fire works and he was longer my knight and shining armor.

When I came home I ran up to my bedroom shutting the door to call Drake. There was no answer so I left him a message. I was so anxious to talk to him but the more I waited the more the stone grew in my stomach. It started to ache and I couldn't think of anything but the bad things he could be up to while I was out with another guy, God please let him understand!

A few hours later I tried back feeling like I was going to jump out of my skin.

A mousey voice answered.

Mousey-Hello

Me- Hello, who's this?

Mousey- You called here, who is this?

Me- Did I call the right number 2126577856?

Mousey- I don't know this number!

Me- Is Drake Parker there?

Mousey- He's sleeping.

Me- Wake him up! This is his fiancé.

Mousey- Oh I'm sorry.

(I heard rustling and then "Drake baby there's someone on the phone for you." "Okay thank you")

Drake- Hello

Me- Drake

Drake-Hey baby how was you lunch.

Me- Is that supposed to be funny? Who was that?

Drake- Ashlee calm down it Serena you have meet her she a back up dancer were all sharing one bus there's broke down and my phone was out in the main room I'm in the back room dreaming of when I can see you next.

Me- I so sorry I'm just a little wound up.

Drake- Why what's wrong he didn't try anything?

Me- No… no… it was just being with him made me think about you the whole time and how much I missed you and then worst of all when we were on the way there your song came on the radio and it just made it a hundred times worse.

Drake- Baby 2 more days and were going to be together lets just et threw this without going nuts.

Me- Okay I'm sorry again… I love you just 2 more days! I think I'm just going to fly home tomorrow. I'll just see you at the house.

Drake- That sounds like a good idea baby and Jenna there so just keep it cool.

Me- I'll try… ha ha ha… I love you

Drake- I love you too… I'll call you tomorrow.

I packed my stuff up and ordered a ticket on-line I told my nana good bye and that I loved her. I had to leave I wanted to be home where I belonged and I also wanted to get things ready for when the boys returned home.
