Chapter 13

Made the chapter longer for you wonderful peeps! Remember reviews are like tipping your waiter or waitress lol

Even if it is a bad review, I can take your advice on how to fix my sucky parts.

To answer some questions left in the reviews:

Who is more of a control freak, Jay or Omar?

I'm going to go with Jay

Will there be physical violence?

I still haven't decided. I don't think Omar would hurt Adrian. So that leaves Jay but in my head he is still a decent guy.

Are Ben & Adrian over?

I don't know yet, do you think they should be over?

What happens to Ben now?

His story is still unfinished in my head. I'm still piecing everything together.

Adrian POV

In the morning I make French toast for breakfast, Omar comes in the kitchen grabs some orange juice. Then he says, "I have to go in earlier for a meeting so I don't have time to eat."

I say, "Okay, then I will eat by myself."

He says, "Sorry but this meeting was unexpected. I would say we could meet for lunch but I know you already have plans to eat lunch with Ben. I know I've been overreacting, I'm just afraid of losing you."

I say, "You don't have to worry, I've been here and I'm still here Omar."

He says, "You really don't think that I don't notice that you don't look at me the same, your kiss isn't even the same anymore?"

I say, "I'm just getting all my memories back, it takes time Omar."

He gives me a kiss on my forehead and says, "You are worth waiting for, I will get off your back about Ben."

I say, "Thank you babe. I do love you."

He smiles and says, "I love you too."

I start to clean the house and do laundry before my morning class. I turn on my Ipod from the dock.

It goes straight to the playlist that Ben made for me, with songs that remind him of me or us.

The first song is, "When I was your man, by Bruno Mars"

The second song is an older country song I may have heard once before, "I still believe in you, by Vince Gill" After listening to this song it brings me to tears and I have to turn off the Ipod. I text Ben and tell him that I will meet with him for lunch after my morning classes.

After my classes I go to the restaurant where we are meeting at. Ben is sitting there and I sit down across from him.

I ask, "How are you doing?"

He says, "I'm good, how are you doing?"

I reply, "I'm doing okay."

He says, "I see Omar bought you a new ring, it's nice. It is square though. I thought you had mentioned something about wanting your next ring to be a round cut."

I laugh and say, "Yes, I did say that. I didn't pick it out but it was nice of him."

When the waitress comes we order our food.

Once she leaves he asks, "Are you getting more of your memories back?"

I say, "Yes, I have a few questions for you if you don't mind?"

He says, "Of course not."

I ask, "I know you said that I'm the love of your life but why were so fixated on Amy for so long after we ended things?"

Ben replies, "Because she was my first love, I thought that maybe if I got her back things would get better for me. Technically, I didn't try to get back with her until we were way over with. You went after Ricky first and that broke my heart. I think we both just wanted to go back to our olds lives because we couldn't handle the pain of our reality. I love you with all my heart and soul. If I ever got the chance again I would prove that to you and never cause you any pain again. I was a broken hearted boy then but now I'm ready to be your man and I'll wait as long as I need to. "

I start to tear up and say, "I wish you would have felt this way before I got back with Omar the second time. I already gave him my word that I would marry him. There is no way I could ever give him my whole heart because it's still with you. I'm still figuring everything out. I'm so torn. I don't know what to do."

He says, "I'm not trying to make this hard on you. You choose what will make you the happiest and that will make me happy. You deserve to be happy. Just don't let him take advantage of your love, you never wanted to move away from California, you wanted to live by your family and friends. The week or so before your accident you were miserable there, you wanted to go back home. Follow your heart and if he loves you he will understand. I'm not saying to move back home, I'm just saying for you not to let him take you for granted."

I say, "You are right, thank you."

We eat and have some more conversation about school and stuff. After eating we share a dessert together and before leaving we give each other a big hug as if we don't want to ever let go of each other. I feel it in my heart that I have to tell him this before we leave.

I whisper in his ear, "I'm still in love with you Ben."

He looks like he is on the verge of tears.

He softly says, "I'll always be in love with you Adrian."

I walk away before I burst into tears. I don't want him to see me like that.

Jack POV

I go to pick up Kayla for our first date and she looks absolutely gorgeous in a black jean skirt and a red blouse. I open the door to my truck for her and she says, "Thank you Jack."

I say, "My pleasure pretty lady."

Once I get in the truck I look straight at her for a couple moments and say, "You look breathtaking."

She blushes and says, "Aww thank you. You are looking very sharp yourself Mr. Quarterback."

I laugh and ask, "How did you know I'm the Quarterback?"

She laughs and says, "I have my ways."

I say, "What other special talents do you have besides finding out information?"

She says, "Wait till we get to the next stop sign or red light and I will show you.

While driving down the street I slow down just a bit and we are about to get to the light and it is yellow so I stop. I say, "I always stop at yellow lights, especially when I'm carrying precious cargo."

She leans in and pulls me in for a sweet kiss. The pace of our kiss starts off slowly and has picked up rapidly. Someone honks at us because the light is probably green now. When we finally pull away we are both out of breath and just staring at each other like "Whoa!"

I say, "Wow, that is definitely a talent."

She laughs and says, "Just wait, I'm just full of surprises."

I think to myself "I'm the luckiest guy in the world right now. I need to calm down and take things slow."

She asks, "Is everything okay? You are kind of quiet now."

I say, "Oh yes, I was wondering where you might like to go out for dinner?"

She says, "You choose, I'm not picky."

I say, "Well what is your favorite food?"

She says, "Well my favorites are Sushi and Italian."

I say, "I've never had Sushi, I'm still a little afraid to try it. I love Italian food though!"

She says, "That sounds great."

We go to this amazing family owned Italian restaurant that I heard about. When we get there I say, "Wait there!"

I get out and open the car door for her and she says, "Aww thank you." While walking towards the restaurant but still distant from the entrance. I see Grace and some guy walk out holding hands. I laugh and say, "Of course she would be here." I stop for a second to explain this to Kayla.

Kayla asks, "Who?"

I say, "My ex, sorry about this. Don't think this was our place or anything, I've never been here before."

Kayla says, "Jack, relax it's not a big deal. Don't worry about it. You are so cute."

We then continue our walk towards the door. Once Grace spots us she looks a little shocked.

She smiles and says, "Hey Jack, this is Shane."

He shakes both of our hands and I say, "This is Kayla."

Grace and Kayla shake hands.

This kind of awkward so I say, "Hope you guys have a great night!"

They say, "You too!"

We eat and have an amazing dinner and time with each other. Then afterwards we go to her house to change and get ready for volleyball. I brought a change of clothes for playing. We have a blast playing volleyball.

George POV

Kathleen and I just finished making dinner together. I grilled hamburgers outside while she worked on some sides in the kitchen. Afterwards we are going to watch a new movie we rented. Before that we clean up the mess in the kitchen and afterwards, the doorbell rings and I go to answer the door. It is Ricky.

I say, "Come in."

He says, "Do you have time to talk?"

I say, "Come in."

We go into the living room and sit on the couch.

I say, "What's on your mind?"

He says, "I'm worried about Amy, this guy she is going out with gives me the creeps."

I say, "Well duh, any guy she starts seeing is going to give you the creeps. It's how it works."

He says, "No it's not just that. Like he is so controlling, we were at a party and he bust in there grabbing her arm kind of violently and then just the way he talks to her."

I say, "I will talk to Amy about it."

He says, "Thanks, I know if I try to say something it would turn into a huge fight."

After Ricky leaves I call Amy.

I say, "Hey baby girl, how are you doing?"

She says, "I'm fine Dad. How are you?"

I say, "Good, I'm concerned about you. I want to meet this new guy you are seeing."

She says, "Okay Dad, let me guess Ricky said something about last night?!"

I say, "Don't be mad at him, he really cares about you. You are the mother of his child."

She says, "Yeah, I know. Jay was just upset because he thought I was lying to him about hanging out with Ricky, it's not a big deal."

I say, "Well Ricky said he grabbed your arm roughly and was talking down to you?"

She says, "Everyone gets in arguments, I wish everybody would just stay out of my business. I can handle myself! Anyways, I have to go."

I say, "I love you Ames, please be careful. Bring him over to meet me please?"

She says, "I love you too Dad and Maybe."

Kathleen comes into the living room and asks, "Is everything okay?"

I say, "Yes, Ricky was just a little worried about the guy Amy is dating. Amy made it sound like it was no big deal but I'm probably going to have to show up when he is at her place so I can try to meet the guy."

She says, "I'm sure everything will be fine. I can also try to get some information from Grace next time she comes over to visit."

I say, "Thank you my sweetie, now let's watch our movie."

Amy POV

After I get off the phone with my Dad, I'm so ticked off that Ricky had to run and tell my Dad about my issues with Jay. I call Ricky to talk about it.

Ricky answers, "Hello."

I say, "Why did you have to run and tell my Dad everything?"

He says, "Because I'm worried about you Amy and I know if I tried to talk to you about this it would turn out to be some argument."

I say, "I'm a big girl Ricky. I can take care of myself!"

He says, "Sure you can, that's why at the party he was bossing you around and you just took it. Like a child or a puppy."

I say, "Stay out of it Ricky!"

He says, "Fine Amy!"

I hang up on him.

A week later….

Ricky and I aren't really talking about anything anymore, just stuff regarding John. Jay has come by with flowers and roses at least like 3 or 4 times this week but I won't open the door. He has called and texted but I'm ignoring him.

John is napping and I'm just cleaning up in the living room. There is a knock on the door and it is Jay, I'm finally ready to talk to him. I open the door and say, "Come in."

He says, "Baby, I'm so sorry. I bought this for you because I saw it and thought of you. I just missed you so much."

He then hands me a Tiffany's square box. I open it and it is a gorgeous bracelet. It's called the Tiffany Garden Flower Bracelet.

I say, "I can't accept this, it looks very expensive."

He says, "Please keep it. I want you to have it."

I say, "Jay, that night you treated me really badly and I can't handle that."

He says, "I have taken Ryan off your surveillance unless you are okay with it in the future. Let me be completely honest with you. I was also pissed off because as you know Ryan was watching out for you. He had reported to me about the night you said John was sick, he said he saw a guy who he later identified as the guy from the party the next day. But anyways he said that night he was alone when he went to your place and he was there for about an hour and then left alone. So I got pissed because I thought you had something going on with your ex for sure. I've had time to think about it and I'm falling for you Amy and I want to choose to believe that he was there helping you with John. Please forgive me."

I start to cry and say, "I'm so sorry Jay. I did have sex with Ricky that night but I don't know what happened, it all happened so fast. It wasn't an on-going affair or anything. It was a onetime thing that will never happen again."

He says, "Wow, thanks for being honest about it. I mean it took some time for you to say it but at least you did."

I say, "I didn't know how to tell you. I've never done something like that and I really do care about you so much."

He says, "It's not your fault, I should have seen this coming. It's kind of obvious you still have feelings for him and I'm sure you always will."

I say, "Jay, it's not like that."

He gets up and kisses me on the cheek and says, "Please keep the bracelet, thank you for the time we did have together. I will miss you Amy."

He leaves and my crying just conitunes...
