"Jordan! Its so nice to see you again!" Carly shrieked as she pulled him in for a hug, I stood next to her awkwardly not knowing what to say. "H-Hi Emily" he stuttered. "Hi" I said smiling. I just wanted us to be together again, I didnt know how much I had missed him until he was standing right in front of me. Eric came over to get Carly so she could meet some of his friends. We stood there awkwardly for a few moments, so I decided to break the silence, "So hows hockey?" I asked. "Its good" he replied, "Hows college?" he asked, If I told him how I really felt about school it would only make him mad that I had not gone to Petersburg with him. "Its good" I replied blandly. I could see him gripping his beer tighter and tighter. "Do you wanna go outside?" he asked. Barely half a second passed before I said yes. We sat on the end of the dock and hung our legs over the lake. "So, have you guys been winning alot?" I asked. "Yea, we've been doing pretty well." The moonlight was reflecting against the water and giving his face an angelic glow. Could he tell how much I loved him? A few moments of silence passed. "Im gonna be honest with you Emily," I felt relieved and nervouse about what he was going to say. "Ever since I walked away from you that night," he paused, what? what? I acted calm but on the inside I was screaming, "I have never regretted anything more in my life." My eyes welled up. "Me too," I said I felt a warm tear run down my cheek, "I shouldve said yes, I shouldve gone with you." I said through tears. "No, no Em, its not your fault." he spoke kindly, "I...I just want you back." "Me too" I said leaning my head on his shoulder and kicking some water in the lake, creating ripples. "Maybe we shouldnt rush back into things,ya know? I mean we dont want the same thing to happen again." "Yea, I dont want to go throught that again." We sat on the dock for what seemed like hours, just talking about everything, school, hockey, memories. After a while, he decided to walk me home, we stopped at the basement door. I turned to him and he pulled me into a hug, It felt so good to be back in his arms again. "Well, have a good night" he said sweetly, he softly kissed me on the lips and I went in to the basement. My basement also served as a guest room, it had a bed and a small television. Just seconds after closing the door, I heard a knock.
