Everyone was sitting on a circle. All with problems and pasts of their own. Jay walked in and looked around. He saw the same girl from awhile ago, Celine.

She made eye contact with the blonde boy and waved. 'Her smile...' Jay smiled back and went to the seat next to hers.

"Goodafternoon everyone!" a voice was heard from the distance. Suddenly someone walked in the room slamming the door wide open.

She had pink hair and was wearing glasses. She's joyful, cheery even.
"Boys and Girl, and everyone in between" she says putting a smirk on her face. "Name's Audrey! I'll be the head of this rehab session group!", she was very cheerful quite strange for Jay.

She pulled a chair and sat directly infront of Jay in the circle. "I would like some introductions, I'll go first." she then crossed her legs and sat back a bit.

"Name's Audrey Anderson. I was part of a rehab session 2 years ago and then became a group leader. I joined because I lost my boyfriend to smoking and a survivor of lung cancer. My life was traumatic"

"But I passed and recovered from that period in my life, and I hope this following 5 sessions will do the same for all of you." she finished talking and smiled. She motioned the first person to talk, then another, then another.

"Next?" The strawberry haired girl says motioning to Celine.

"Ah- My name is Celine Morales. 2 years ago I lost my dad to lung cancer. It was too late when we found out. He was an author." the introduction startled Jay, he had some theories now 'what if? no no' he thought. He didn't want to assume.

"Hey its your turn." Celine says to Jay motioning him to stand up.

"My name's Jay...Jay Dawson. I am a victim of smoking. I was inspired by a book my dad gave me. He is also a smoker. I wanted to join this session group so I could stop my- yeah..."

"Well Jay I hope we can help you." Audrey says and signaled for the next person.

"Must be a good book then." Cecile whispered to Jay and he just nodded.

•••

"That's all for today's session! See you all next saturday!" Audrey says cheerfully as everyone starts getting their bags and leave.

"Mind if I walk you home?" Jay says to Celine. "Sure It's quite far though." "Don't worry, I can manage."

It was Sunset, they were talking and laughing. Complaining how the university is so needy in applications or how the clubs are so random.

"No way you think that Photography club is stupid"
"No way you think Cooking is any jay jay" Celine says smirking almost laughing too hard.
"Jay Jay?!"

They arrived to her house and said their goodbyes.

As Cecile gets in the house she looked back "Goodnight Jay"
"Night, Cecile" and he waved. He smiled but it felt more than a happy smile.

He walks away, he was smiling. How? He never felt like this towards anyone.

'Am I inlove?'
