After spending some time with Jamie, Sienna left. She was actually meeting up with Eli to see how his tattoo came out. Jamie finished unpacking, which normally took her days to do, and was now in her room by herself. She was meeting with Miguel soon and was nervous about how it would end.
She gets up and makes her way to the living room where she knew her mom would be, "Mom?"
Amber turns and smiles as Jamie sits on the couch with her, "Hey. You okay?"
"Um, I actually wanted to talk to you about something."
"Okay." Amber says as she sits up, "What is it?"
"Why did you lie for dad?"
Amber sighs, "Because I knew how much you cared about him, Jamie. It wouldn't have been easy to tell you that he wasn't coming back."
"It wouldn't have been easy, but it would've been better in the long run for me to know he wasn't ever coming back instead of hoping that he would one day."
"I know that now. I'm sorry." Jamie sighs as she sits back. Amber notices her demeanor, "Is something else wrong?"
"I'm supposed to meet with Miguel later so that we can talk. We haven't spoken much since he left and I'm just scared of how it's gonna turn out."
"Well, what do you think is gonna happen?"
Jamie sighs, "I think he's gonna break up with me."
Amber frowns, "Why?"
"Because he just has a lot going on with his dad and then I'm sure his mom isn't too happy with him. I don't know if me being upset about dad is going to make things hard for us."
"Jamie, if there's anyone who's going to understand you when it comes to your father, it's Miguel."
Jamie takes a deep breath as Amber rubs her shoulder, "Just tell him the truth. If he really loves you, which I know he does, you'll help each other through what happened to you both. If you think you need time away from him, then tell him. I'm sure he'll understand."
"Yeah, but I don't want to be away from him. All I've wanted since he left was to be around him again."
Amber nods, "Okay, then just tell him the truth. Tell him what happened with dad and let him know you wanna work through it. Okay?"
"Okay."
"The best option is to tell him the truth, baby. No matter how scared you are of it."
Jamie nods as she sighs. Amber pulls her in and gives her a hug which Jamie gladly accepts.

Miguel walks through the park with his hands in his pockets. He and Jamie had decided to meet there to talk. To say he was nervous was an understatement. He loved Jamie and the last thing he wanted to do was break up with her.
