    Meanwhile
    Back in Niagara Falls
                  Jesse was in my room plotting his next move on how to get my whereabouts out of James. He sat on my bed as he heard Sarah and James begin to laugh from downstairs. He exited the room and walked down the stairs. He looked in the family room and seen Bill, Sarah, James and JJ sitting on the couch. They must have told Bill about their relationship because he was telling James that JJ looked just like him. Jesse walked into the room.
                  “Jesse. Are you done wallowing?” Bill asked.
                  He remained silent and didn’t give Bill the satisfaction of hearing his hurt.
                  “So, have you congratulated your brother?” Bill finally asked.
                  “Congratulations James and Sarah.” He said knowing exactly what Bill was talking about.
                  “I’m sorry it didn’t work out with you and Sarah. But maybe you can find another girl one day.” Bill said with a laugh.
                  Jesse rolled his eyes and left the room as Bill laughed harder. 
     
    Back in Hawaii
                  We had finished up our meals. Dickey had eaten his and Christy’s and the bills were paid. Melodie was the first to break the silence with more questions but tried kept my past out of it.
                  “So, where is your father?” she asked.
                  “I’m not sure. We stopped speaking about 5 years ago.” I told her.
                  “Really…?” She asked realizing she needed to change the subject. “Patrick tells me you have a dog who loves Frisbees?” She said.
                  “Yes. That he does. Speaking of him…I need to get home to feed him or he is going to eat the furniture.” I said with a laugh.
                  “Oh no.” Melodie said back with a laugh.
                  “Come on. I’ll take you home.” Austin said.
                  “Okay. It was fun guys. We should do it again.” I said.
                  “Defiantly will.” Judy said hugging me. Melodie followed and hugged me to, followed by Patrick, Jacob, and Dickey.  Austin put his arm around me and led me out of the restaurant and back toward the red mustang. He opened the door and I climbed in.
                  “Thank you Jesse.” I said.
                  “Jesse?” Austin said. “Who’s Jesse?”
                  An embarrassing shock went through me.
                  “I’m so sorry Austin…that’s my ex’s name…” I admitted.
                  He shut my car door and walked over to the driver’s side. He roared the car to life.
                  “I really am sorry.” I said.
                  “It’s okay Ami. Just take it one day at a time. You’ll soon forget about him.” He said trying to pep talk me and hiding his hurt feelings.
                  I smiled at him but my insides were screaming. Why can’t I get him out of my head? I wish I could be done with him and except the fact that I need to move on. I was beginning to wish I had never met him. My life was spinning in a circle and I didn’t know what to do. Little did I know; everything that I thought was true was really a lie and Jesse desperately wanted to find me and have me back into his arms.
                  We sat mostly in silence as he drove me home. When we reached my house I scooped up the bag with all my clothes as Austin killed the engine of the car. He climbed out of the car with a sigh and walked over to my side. He opened the door and helped me out. He laced his fingers with mine as we walked casually toward the door. I pulled out my keys and began to fettle with them. I wanted to kiss him but I didn’t know if he was mad at me.
