I Sat out on the porch long enough to smoke a cigarette before I head into the house and off to bed, I laid there thinking about the day events that had taken place and prayed my thanks for Aaron and I getting together. I closed my eyes and recalled the embrace on the porch and could still feel his arms around me and felt completely relaxed and safe and drifted off to sleep.  The next day I was gald of that my aunt B and I had made plans to go out and do some shopping and running around. I already missed Aaron and he had only left today. I had two weeks  a head of me and wonder how I was going to make it though it all with out going nuts.  While out shopping my Aunt and I made plans for me to stay the night down at her house but as we pulled up in front of nan house I saw the blue oldsmobile sitting in front of the pine tree and my heart sunk and mile. It was my mom and her boyfriend and they were back early from Vaction.

I went into the house and listen to mom and my grandparent talk about thier vactions and the sights that they visited. I went upstairs to gather my belongs and loaded them into the car and sat outside on the porch with Brandon. "It'll be okay amy" brandon said when he noticed that I was upset, " I know I just wish I could stay here" I answered back. "when ever they start picking on you think about Aaron and the time we spent here" Brandon offered as advice. "I will have to try that" I answered back. A little while later I loaded into the back seat of the car and silently wiped the tear away that rolled down my face as we pulled away from Nan and paps house and headed back into the city and back to my real life.I sat out on the step of the house that evening and watched cars go by, it was not even close to the time I had just spent but it was alot better then sitting in the house staring out the walls in my bedroom. Mom came out and sat down beside me and we started talking about what we did over the last two weeks and I told her about Aaron. Mom said that she was okay with me dating Aaron because his family was friends with our family and she knew that he was a good guy. I was happy that she approved of Aaron it would things alot easier then if she would have not approved. It was not to long after that I got ready and went to bed for the night, I just closed my eyes and I could see Aaron there and once again I was smiling.

I spent the next two days watching television and hung around the house I would see on the porch in the evening and write poems  and get lost in thought as I waited for time to pass, when ever I would start to feel down I would think about Aaron and our days sitting on the porch. It was into the third day that mom said that I should get out of the house a while and go see some of my friends since I had not talk to any one since I had left to go to my Grandparents house. I took her advice and walked over to my girl Krista house and joined up with Dylan and Gary a little while later, We all sat around joking and carrying on  and get caught up on the last two weeks. We made plans to go out to the county fair later that week. The afternoon before I went to the fair krista and walked downtown to the shopping center for some thing to do and low and be hold I ran into Dean.

"Hey Girl there you are" Dean greeted me as I went to walk by, "Yep" I said as I continued to walk by, "here I thought you dropped off the face of the earth" Dean replied. "Nope I was just away" I said and kept walking and Dean kept following me down the mall. Justin had been with him but kept silent. "aww girl are you still mad" Dean asked. "No dean Im over it" I answered back matter of factly. "So whats the deal then whats buggin you" Dean asked. " Nothing" I answered back. Krista getting fed up with dean already turned to him "Have you been smacked in the head or you always this stupid" Krista asked. "shut your mouth" Dean snapped back and added "this is between amy and I so see your way out of it already". "well Common sense would tell you that she does not want to talk to you already or she would have stopped moron" Krista came back at him. "Whatever I know my girl" Dean added. Thats when I spun around on him " Look dean Im not your girl you blew that a while back, I am over it and you and rather you just leave me alone already I got a man and it's not you because you are a dog and the only thing dogs are good for is putting them on a leash and I got no time to be dog sitting understand or do I need to break it down futher for you" I asked. "dammmn she just burnt your ass" Justin said as he laughed. " Whatever she still triping off those girls my boo will come around  watch and see" Dean said as he walked away. "Dont hold your breath" I said " come on girl lets get out of here" Krista said as she pushed me up the sidewalk towards the bridge.

The next day I went to the county fair with Krista, Dylan and Gary. We were all having a good time and was the first time I had been allowed to go out with my friends in a car. I had a ruled that I was not allowed to car date or go out in cars until I was sixteen and with my birthday now behind me I was happy to see that rule go with it. We got to the fair grounds about four o'clock in the afternoon and went and got our tickets for the rides but decided to walk around for a while. Gary and Krista had been dating since mid way though the school year so me and Dylan got stuck riding together and walking together most of the night. I did not mind because Dylan and I were pretty good friends and he was fun to hang out with. A little while later Krista and I spilt up from the guys to go the girl thing in the bathroom. "Are you having fun" Krista asked. "yea I really am" I answered as I brushed my wind blown air from my eyes. "What do you think of Dylan" She asked. "why" I wondered. "well because he thinks you are hot and wants to get hooked up with you" Krista said. " wow I did not know that" I replied. "so well" she asked. "so well what" I answered back. "What do you think about going out with Dylan" Krista asked again. " I think if he would  have two weeks ago I would have probably gone out with him" I said. "But why not now" She asked not letting the subject drop. "Because Im with some one thats why" I answered back and walked out of the rest room hoping that would be enough to end this line of conversation.

That did end of the conversation for that night but it picked back up the next day when I went up the road to Gary's house to watch movies with him and Krista. " So where is this guy you are dating" Gary asked. " Yea if he is so into you would he not be with you" krista asked. " Aaron is in the army is over in Germany right now" I answered back and added "that is why he is not with me right now". " Yea but didnt you say that you got together with him the night before he left" Krista asked. "yes so what" I replied as I wonder just where they would going with this. "well take it from a guy point a view he will was probably just going out with you so that he can brag that he has a girl while on leave but as soon as he gets back it'll be see you that how service men work" Gray said matter of factly. I did not have a chance to even respond to that before Krista pipped in with "didn't you say that he had broke up with his girlfriend the day after you met him and he had been with her though basic training and when wanting to break if off since he got back." "Yes I did say that" was all I could say. "well just think about it and consider Dylan because he's really into you and not over in another country" Krista added. "okay can we watch the movie now" I asked. I only half watched the movie because I was lost in thought, could it really be what they were applying  and I was to navie to see it for what it was? I was hoping that they were wrong and was just trying to get me hooked up with Dylan but there was this lingering doubt down in the back of my head, and just like that Dylan walked in the door and flashed his smile at me.

Dylan was a year oldder then me and had the prettiest blue eyes and blonde hair I could not deny that he was goreous. I did like Dylan a little but always thought of him more as a friend then of any thing else. Now was my chance to date him and all I could think about was Aaron. After about the third movie I called it quits and headed home for the rest of the evening I had a little more then a week  left before Aaron was due to come back and I needed to get some thinking done

.I spent the next couple of days sitting around the house thinking then the other half of the day I spent down at dawn house. Dawn and I went to school together and were close friends. I knew she would be straight with me better then Krista and Gary because they were close friends with Dylan. I explained the situation and what was all said to her. " Okay but how do you feel about Aaron" Dawn asked after I had told her the story. " I am totally crazy about him and want to be with him more then any thing else" I answered then added."I love him already so much" "well there is your answer" Dawn said. It made perfect sense she was right I will wait the couple of days and see how it went from there besides if Dylan really liked me as much as Krista claimed then he could wait a little while on me if things did not happen with Aaron but I prayed that they did.

Over the last days as I waited for Aaron returned I spent little time with Krista and the gang and spent more time with Dawn when I was not busy at home trying to figure out what was going on there, I did not know what was happening but my mom and her boyfriend were spending alot of time whispering or shutting up when I would walk into the room only to resume when I left the room. I knew some thing was going on  there but what excately I did not know.

I did however pray that it would not be some thing that would cause me to have to move to another school yet again. Finally it was the July 31,1996 the night before Aaron was due to be home, I spent the evening sitting on the porch thinking about the days and nights out a nans and the conversations that Aaron and I had. I knew some where he was in the air coming back and hoped that he was thinking about me as much as I was thinking about him. I stayed out there until my mother said that it was time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow will tell when it comes to love and Aaron "pleased"  I prayed out loud "Dont let me be wrong about this" and I walked into the house and climbed into bed.
