Chapter 8

Changes made 11/04/13

Remember Shane Wells is played by Drew Roy!

Amy POV

After getting off the phone with Jay I ask Grace, "Would you want to go on a double date with us? With Shane, he is really hot!"

Grace says, "Blind dates always seem a little too weird."

I laugh and say, "If anyone could pull it off it would be you."

She says, "Fine, where are we going?"

I reply, "To some fancy restaurant."

Grace says, "We didn't pack any dresses or anything nice to wear to a fancy place!"

I say, "Let's go buy some cute dresses somewhere, problem solved."

She sticks out her tongue and says, "Problem solved."

We stop at American Apparel to get some dresses. Grace chooses a red sleeveless dress and I chose a black halter dress. Once we are dressed and ready we head to the restaurant. When we get there before the guys spot us I tell Grace, "look that is Shane."

Grace face is so priceless.

She says, "Oh wow, he is glorious."

I laugh and say, "Did you just say glorious?"

She laughs.

Once we get to table both boys stand up and Jay gives me a kiss on the cheek and says, "You look beautiful." Then he pulls out my chair.

Grace POV

Shane puts out his hand and says, "Nice to meet you Grace, I am Shane Wells. You look very beautiful."

He pulls out my chair for me. Wow, he has the most gorgeous hazel eyes I have ever seen. I smile and say, "Thank you and you look beautiful too."

Everyone at the table laughs at my response.

He asks, "So you are in college, what are you going to major in?"

I reply, "I want to be a Pediatrician."

He says, "That's amazing, a lot of school. That should be a fun journey."

I say, "Yeah, I'm hoping so. What do you do?"

He smiles and says, "I'm a computer nerd. That other nerd over there and I run our company."

I laugh and say, "Now that sounds awesome!"

He says, "Yeah, I love it. My parents aren't regretting paying for my college anymore."

I ask, "What college did you go to?"

He replies, "Harvard."

I say, "That was the school I wanted to go to."

He says, "I'm glad you didn't go to school there, I probably wouldn't be having dinner with you then."

I say, "Aww, you are sweet."

He laughs and says, "I try."

We are lost in our conversation because we hit it off really well. It's like Amy and Jay aren't even there. After dinner he says, "Would you want to go for ice cream with me?"

I reply, "I love ice cream and I would love to go with you."

We say bye to Jay and Amy. Then walk to the Ice cream parlor down the street, we both get chocolate cones. I say, "Life is so much better with chocolate and ice cream, so they are perfect together." He laughs and says, "You have a little ice cream on your cheek." He wipes it off with his napkin and I've seen this in movies a thousand times, this is where we kiss! However, it doesn't feel so cliché when it is actually happening.

We look into each other's eyes.

He smiles and says, "I know this is so cliché but may I kiss you?"

I say, "Yes please!"

He kisses me and there are some major fireworks. Like I need to make sure I don't pass out type of fireworks.

Jay POV

Amy has been kind of quiet and distant tonight which makes me nervous; I want to get dinner over with so we can go back to my place and talk. Finally we get home and sit down on the sofa next to each other. I say, "What do you think?"

She says, "Jay, I'm not ready for another relationship just yet."

I say, "Why not?"

She replies, "It feels too soon."

I'm trying not to get sad, "I've never had a serious relationship before, I've only ever got this feeling with you.."

She says, "I know, I just need a little more time"

I say, "Fine Amy."

She replies, "We can still date Jay?"

I say," We both want different things, I think its just best to quit while we are ahead.

She is teary eyed, gives me a kiss and afterwards says, "Goodbye Jay."

I say, "Goodbye Amy."

Ricky POV

Jack is hitting on some girl in the lobby, I go to our hotel room to relax and watch some TV. I lie on the bed and knock over something; I notice it is Amy's purse. I guess she is back from wherever she was. I start picking up the items from her purse. I see she has some condoms in there, so I get pissed that she is messing around with this guy already.

She yells, "Why are you going through my stuff?!"

I say, "It fell out when I knocked your bag over, I can't beleive you are sleeping with him already!"

She says, "It's none of your freaking business!"

I say, "I'm so tired of you being a bitch to me! You left me! What do you want from me?!"

She starts to cry and yells, "What I wanted from you! I wanted you to fight for me! I wanted you to say you are in love with me! I wanted you say you couldn't live without me!"

She starts to cry some more, "I always had to fight for you! You didn't care about me at first and I did care about you, I went to school and you were with Adrian, you broke my heart. Then when we started to date, I had to fight you to start that! I had to try to talk you into having me move in! I had to talk you into proposing! I did all of that because I loved you so much but when you were talking to Madison and Lauren I realized you weren't doing it for me because you wanted me and were in love with me; you were doing it for John! I loved you so much I even wanted to go throughtt it then! But in the end I decided that I couldn't do it because I wanted someone who wants me and who is madly in love with me too!"

I'm in shock, my head is in overload. She grabs her bag and purse to leave and I say, "Amy wait!"

She says, "I'm done waiting!"

She walks out the door, I want to run after her but I don't know what to do or say. How did I mess everything up so badly?!

Ben POV

I get to the hospital because I want to see how Adrian is doing today. I go into her room and she is asleep. Omar is with her and he says, "Can I talk to you outside?"

Once we go outside Omar says, "Man you need to back off. You can't be coming here to see her, she needs to rest and get her memory back. You coming to visit all the time will only prolong that process."

I say, "That isn't fair. I just want to make sure she is okay."

He says, "Don't be selfish, you can't always do whatever you want."

I say, "Fine, please let her know I stopped by."

He replies, "I won't. She is going to be my wife and you need to move on already, why don't you get obsessed with Amy again and quit worrying about Adrian."

I reply, "Man I know you are going through a lot but don't talk shit like you know anything about me!"

Once I leave the hospital, I get a call from Amy. She sounds as if she is crying.

"Ben, can I stay at your apartment please?"

I reply, "Sure, no problem Amy. I will text you the address."

She says, "Thank you."

Amy and I arrive at the same time. She looks as if she has been bawling. I ask, "Is everything okay?"

She says, "Yes, I just had another fight with Ricky."

I say, "About what?"

She says, "The same fight we had when I called off our wedding. The one where I cry pathetically because he isn't in love with me."

I give her a hug and walk her inside.

I say, "In the past I probably would have never told you any of this but I think Ricky has always been in love with you. That is why I was so threatened by him when we were together."

She says, "I doubt that."

I reply, "Seriously, when you were pregnant and he accepted it, he wanted to be with you but I put a lot of doubt in his head because I said he wouldn't be able to take care of John and afford to take care of both of you. Then when I wanted to leave Adrian, the first thing Ricky did was come to me and say, that he was in love with you and he was going to spend the rest of his life with you. That you and I were over and he and Adrian were over. "

She replies, "Well he must have fell out of love with me once he re-connected with Clementine."

I say, "I don't know about that but I'm sorry you are hurting and for interfering in your relationship with him."

She replies, "It's okay Ben. Thank you for listening to me. I don't get why you are telling me any of this?"

I say, "I guess I should tell you because you will find out eventually, I'm still in love with Adrian and I want to get her back."

She laughs and says, "We are so hopeless Ben."

Then she says, "I'm glad you finally realized that."

The following Morning…

Adrian POV

Its right after dinner and someone comes in, I look up and it's Ricky. He says, "I just wanted to see how you are doing before going back home?"

I say, "I'm doing good, thank you for coming by."

Ricky says, "You are an amazing person Adrian, I'm sorry that I didn't treat you better. You deserved better. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you when you lost Mercy, I didn't know how to be friends with you while I was with Amy and you were with Ben."

I say, "I forgive you Ricky. We treated each other badly; we had a lot of growing up to do."

Ricky says, "I know, I just wanted you to know all that."

I say, "Thank you for that, are you doing okay Ricky?"

He says, "I don't know, everything in my life feels so out of control."

I say, "Get her back Ricky, you and I both know you are still in love with her."

Before he can respond Grace, Jack, and Amy come in.

Grace says, "We wanted to see you before our flight back home."

We visit with each other for an hour, and the whole time Amy won't even look Ricky's way. She looks almost pissed off at him. Grace is the same way with Jack. I think to myself "I'm going to miss my crazy friends."
