Later that night, Dylan put Elijah and Damien in Elijah's bedroom. It felt weird having Damien sleeping over but his dad left already. After she tucked Elijah in his bed, Dylan softly closed the door behind her and she went down to the living room. When she stopped at the staircase, she saw Jon sitting on the couch, holding a wedding band in his hand. Then, she cleared her throat. Jon looked at her and he said "Sorry. Didn't see you"

"Its fine," Dylan said as she walked to the couch. Then she sat down next to Jon, who was in the recliner, and she saw the wedding band and asked him "Was that yours?"

Jon looked at the ring and he nodded his head 'yes'. "Believe it or not I was married for alittle while myself."

"How long?" Dylan asked.

Jon sighed and he said "About a year or so"

Dylan's eyes slightly widened. "Wh-what happened?"

Jon sighed as he swallowed the lump in his throat. Then, he sighed and he said "When I was in my senior year of highschool I met this girl named Emily. She was a beautiful blonde, and she was very smart too with a 4.0 GPA. Her personality was one in a million. She and I became close friends, then we started dating. Oh Dylan, I fell madly in love with her and we both talked about spending the rest of my life with her. So, one day a year after we started dating I proposed to her. She said yes and we ended up getting married 3 months after the proposal. We spent a year together. Then, one day i found out she was pregnant. With our first child. It was the best day of my life. That day she went to the store to get some stuff for the house. She mever came back"

He started to get choked up with tears. Its been almost 11 years since he had talked about his first wife's death. He breathed and he said "The next morning I got a visit from the police saying that Emily was killed in a car crash"

At this point, Jon started to sob uncontrollably. Dylan felt awful for her best friend and so she took the sobbing man into her arms and she hugged him tightly as he continued to cry. She underestimated Jon's will power. Then, Jon breathed out and he said "Dylan when you told me Phil was killed I felt heartbroken for you because I never wanted any of my friends to go through what I went through. And when you said i would never understand what youre going through right now, I totally understand it. Thats why I want to here for you through this time. If you let me"

Dylan just looked at Jon. She never knew Jon had gone through so much and she certainly didnt think he lost his wife at such a young age. So, Dylan nodded her head 'yes' when Jon asked her if he could be there for her. Jon and Dylan hugged eachother tightly, not even wanting to let each other go.
