"Why would you ask me that?" Jack said surprised.

"I...I think I need some type of closure..." Grace said sadly.

"Closure? I don't understand what you mean, Grace. You've been with Ricky for months so I don't get why you need closure..." Jack said confused.

"After you said all those nice things about me at church...I kind of felt attracted to you again." Grace said honestly.

"You did? It sounds like our last kiss meant something to you. I enjoyed it but...after it I thought I was over you...But if you want to get back together..." Jack said awkwardly.

"Oh, gosh no! I do not want to get back with you Jack! I guess I was just a little infatuated with you at church...I'm sorry for saying that...I need to get some sleep." Grace said a little irritated.

"Whatever you say...Just remember that Rick and Amy will always be connected to each other because of John. Good night Grace." Jack said sincerely and he hung up.

"I knew it..." A voice said from behind Grace.

"Knew what?" Grace said surprised when she turned around and saw Chloe.

"You still love him. It's written all over your pretty face." Chloe smirked as she sat on her bed.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about Chloe..." Grace said nervously.

"Yes you do...You just got off the phone with Jack. I heard the entire thing before I walked into the room. Did our last kiss mean anything to you? He's got you like a fish on a hook..." Chloe said seriously after she imitated Grace.

"Uh...No he doesn't! Why were you eavesdropping on my conversation with him?! That's an invasion of privacy." Grace said annoyed.

"Not really because we're both entitled to this room...So why did you ask him that?" Chloe said intrigued.

"This is between me and Jack. Just forget about it. I need to get ready for bed." Grace rolled her eyes and she went into the bathroom.

"Ok..." Chloe said awkwardly.

As Grace brushed her teeth, Chloe looked in one of Grace's desk drawers and she found a diary.

"Hmm..." Chloe said quietly as she opened up the diary.

The first date in it was July 1st, 2008. It read:

Dear Diary,

I can't believe it finally happened! I actually have my own boyfriend! His name is Jack and he is one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. And best of all, he's a Christian. I couldn't be happier when I'm with him. He's a football player and I'm going to be cheering for him! I'm so excited!

"Heh...Typical Grace..." Chloe smirked and she flipped through some more pages and read a date that read May 14th, 2009.

Dear Diary,

Jack and I finally did it...We had sex and it was incredible. I've never felt closer to Jack...I really do love him. I hope he never leaves me.

The next entry dated May 15th, 2009 read:

I hate Jack! I can't believe we killed Dad...I knew we shouldn't have done it...I wish I could take it back. I don't want to see him ever again.

Chloe flipped a few more pages and read an entry from July 14th, 2011 that said:

OMG! I found an amazing guy named Daniel! He is so hot and nice and everything I want! I cheated on Grant with him but it's whatever. I'm sure he'll understand and find someone else. Plus he's in college and he lives in California! Now I'm really glad I came to Africa!

"Oh wow..." Chloe said sadly. She put the diary under her bed right before Grace came back in the room.

"I didn't mean to snap at you Chloe...It's just, I don't like people eavesdropping on my conversations." Grace said as she got in bed.

"No...I totally get it. I'm sorry for eavesdropping...Good night." Chloe smiled as she turned off her lamp.

"I forgive you...Good night." Grace turned off her lamp.

Chloe pulled out Grace's diary from under her bed and used her flashlight to read some more of it under her blanket.

The next entry she found was from September 12th, 2008.

Dear Diary,

I think Ricky really likes me...He kissed me on the bench after cheer practice and when we were baking cookies. I really like him too. I think I actually love him...He's so different from Jack. I know he has a bad reputation but I don't care. He's nice when he's around me and that's all that matters. I think he's going to be a great dad to Amy's baby too.

Chloe's eyes widened as she read this and then she flipped towards the end of the diary to a date that read May 15th, 2013:

Dear Diary,

Jack proposed to me! I can't believe this! I'm in high school for crying out loud! Well I'm almost out of high school but...this is just crazy! Who would have thought that we would get engaged? I guess God has answered my prayers but...I didn't think He would this soon...I don't know when we will get married. I do love him but...I don't know if I love him enough to marry him anytime soon...

Chloe flipped to the last entry that Grace wrote which was dated November 2nd, 2013 and it said:

Dear Diary,

Jack talked at church today...I was not expecting him to do that...I especially didn't think he was going to tell me that I inspired him to be a minister. How could he say that? I guess I had a bigger impact on his life then I thought...And I really hope that Ricky wants to get baptized...I think he really needs God in his life...I also want to be very close to him...I love him more then I have ever loved anyone...But...Jack did make my heart melt when he said that I have inspired him...

Chloe turned off her flashlight and she quietly put Grace's diary back in her dresser drawer.

The next morning in New York...

"Good morning Adrian. I made you breakfast in bed." Omar said happily as he put a tray of breakfast food on Adrian's night stand.

"Oooh...Thank you Omie...It looks so good." Adrian said as she stretched her arms.

"It was my pleasure. I love you so much." Omar said sweetly and he gave Adrian a kiss on the lips.

"Mmm...So...I might have a surprise for you after work..." Adrian said as she smiled.

"A surprise? Oooh...I like the sound of that. What kind of surprise?" Omar asked intrigued.

"I don't know yet...It depends on some...results." Adrian said awkwardly.

"Results? What are you talking about?" Omar asked confused.

"Don't worry about it...But uh...Amy and I got in a fight yesterday..." Adrian said sadly.

"Ok...Is that why you were so quiet at dinner last night?" Omar said surprised.

"Yeah...She called me a slut and...I called her a band geek who got knocked up by a guy who will never love her...I saw her kissing that Jimmy guy and...I thought she was with Ben..." Adrian explained honestly.

"Oh wow...That's pretty intense...First of all, you're not a slut and you never were one. Second of all, that was a little harsh of you to say to Amy, don't you think?" Omar said seriously.

"Yeah I know I'm not...She deserved it. I swear she's cheating on Ben even though she told me that she was helping Jimmy rehearse for a play or something..." Adrian said irritated.

"All right...Maybe you need to focus on school instead of Ben, Amy, and whoever Jimmy is. Seriously, Adrian...You're not in high school anymore." Omar said sincerely.

"I do focus on school! Ben's my ex husband! I don't want Amy to break his heart by fooling around with Jimmy behind his back! Ben's been through a lot lately. He does not deserve this!" Adrian said defensively as she raised her voice.

"I agree Adrian but it's really none of your business...I know you care about Ben but I think he can handle this on his own...I gotta get to work. I love you." Omar gave Adrian a kiss on the cheek and he went into the kitchen.

"Ugh...I love you too!" Adrian said as she put her breakfast tray in her lap.

After Adrian ate her breakfast she grabbed her phone and called Grace.

"Aaargh...Hello?" Grace said sleepily as she answered her phone.

"Hey Grace. It's me...Are you awake?" Adrian asked seriously.

"Ugh...Adrian...It's like six am here...Why are you calling me right now?" Grace said sleepily.

"Oh yeah...I forgot...It's nine here...Sorry but this is important...Amy is cheating on Ben." Adrian said honestly.

"What? Are...are you sure?" Grace said as she wiped her eyes.

"I'm dead serious. I saw her kiss Jimmy yesterday." Adrian said seriously.

"Seriously? There's no way Amy would cheat on Ben. They love each other. I think you're crazy Adrian...I'm going back to sleep now." Grace said annoyed and she hung up.

"She just hung up on me? Really Grace? Whatever...I need to get ready for school." Adrian said as she got out of bed.

Meanwhile at Hudson...

"Good morning Amy. Since it is is your birthday week, I wanted to get you flowers." Ben said happily as he gave Amy a bouquet of roses.

"Aww Ben! You're too sweet! Thank you! Do you want to get some coffee with me?" Amy said smiling as she took the roses.

"I would love too." Ben grinned and he grabbed Amy's hand as they started to walk to the cafeteria.

After they entered the cafeteria, Amy saw Jimmy eating breakfast with some other girl out of the corner of her eye.

"Uh...Coffee with chocolate and whipped cream please." Amy said to the student working at the coffee area.

"Make that two please." Ben said happily.

"I love the teddy bear you gave me last night. And John does too." Amy said sweetly.

"I thought both of you would like it. I think you're going to love the weekend that I have planned for us." Ben said kindly.

"I'm sure I will...And I'm so glad one of my friends can watch John for the weekend." Amy smirked.

"Me too...I love you so much." Ben said as his cheeks turned red.

"I love you too." Amy said as she grabbed her coffee.

Ben grabbed his coffee and they went out a side door on the opposite end of where Jimmy was having breakfast with some other girl.

A few hours later in California...

Ricky signed up for the band scholarship and he walked into the band room and was surprised to see a familiar face in there.

"Clementine? What are you doing here?" Ricky asked shocked.

"Hey Ricky! I do band. I've been playing the clarinet since sixth grade." Clementine smiled.

"No way! That's really awesome!" Ricky said happily.

"Yeah...So why are you here?" Clementine asked surprised.

"I'm doing band now for the scholarship. Are you?" Ricky asked intrigued.

"I am...I've been doing band here since I was a freshmen. You're going to love it...The band director should be here in about five minutes. He usually runs a little late since he has a lunch meeting or something before class." Clementine said nicely.

"Oh gotcha...Why didn't you tell me that you did band before?" Ricky said concerned as he sat down next to Clementine.

"Heh...The truth is...I was jealous of you cause you play the drums and...I wanted to play the drums but I don't have any rhythm...I thought you would make fun of me if I told you I play the clarinet in band..." Clementine smiled slowly.

"Why would I make fun of you? I love the woodwinds...The brass players are the ones you gotta look out for...They might knock you over with their tubas...Ha ha...I could teach you how to play the drums." Ricky grinned.

"I don't know...Heh...That's true about the brass players..." Clementine said happily.

"I'm a really good teacher...I even helped Amy with the french horn at...band camp." Ricky said nicely and then awkwardly.

"Yeah I know...That' s another reason why I didn't want to tell you about the clarinet..." Clementine said sadly.

"Relax...We're old friends...There's no way I'm going to do anything like that again...Besides, we don't have to go to band camp. Right?" Ricky said as he smiled slowly.

"No we don't...Ha ha...We are old friends...How's Grace?" Clementine asked sweetly.

"Cool...Grace is doing all right...She wants me to get baptized." Ricky said seriously.

"Oh...Are you going to do it? You don't seem like the kind of guy to do that." Clementine said surprised.

"Yeah I know...But I want to do it...I love her so much..." Ricky said happily.

"That's great but...I'm pretty sure you're supposed to get baptized because you love God, not because you love a girl." Clementine said nicely.

"Heh...You're right...Do you have class after this? I could give you a drum lesson then if you want..." Ricky smirked.

"Hmm...That sounds good but I have to work after class." Clementine said sincerely.

"Oh...All right...How about on Friday?" Ricky asked intrigued.

"After class?" Clementine said happily.

"Yeah...You'll be a drumming master with me as your teacher." Ricky said confidently.

"Ha ha...We'll see..." Clementine smirked.

After class, Clementine walked outside and she saw Jack.

"So...Did it work?" Jack asked seriously.

"Yep...He's going to teach me how to drum on Friday after class. Pay up...I need to get to work." Clementine said as she put a hand out.

"All right...Thank you so much Clementine..." Jack said as he gave her fifty dollars.

"No problem...You owe me for using me when you were with Grace anyway." Clementine said honestly and she walked towards the parking lot.

Oh my...There's some serious drama going on...Is Grace really over Jack? What is she going to do when she finds out that Chloe read her diary? What results are Adrian talking about? Should Adrian stay out of Amy's business? Who was the girl that Jimmy was with? Was Ricky flirting with Clementine? Why did Jack pay her? Stay tuned to find out! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
