I had to talk to Joey as soon as I could find the time to. The day after that I had a very long work shift that afternoon. All I could think of was all those letters.

Clearly my father had assumed that I was not good enough to be with Joey. He kept us apart. I thought he had liked Joey. Well, he had until Joey became world famous.

And was a rock star with so many woman chasing after him. I get why my dad was protective of me. But he had no right making choices for me. Not when it came to my love life.

I only saw my dad in the summer time. Maybe this was his way of having control over my life when my mother had all the control before. I read though every post card Joey sent me. And the letters. At least a dozen times over.

He had thought of me. But where did that leave us now? And why was he back here after all this time? I get that he had the house now. But there had to be other motives to why he was here. To see me. He had found out about my father then saw a way to come back in my life.

My heart felt so conflicted right now. I was deep in my thoughts as I helped my coworkers around the restaurant. Then I was on lunch break. Mandy came in to have lunch with me. I needed to talk to her. About Joey so I was grateful that she came to help me.

"Wow, your dad really did not like you being with Joey?" sighs Mandy. She look enthralled.

"Now, he is back. And I found out about the letters. I mean it has to all mean something. But I do not know what. And I do not know if I want to go down that road again" I mention to her. "I will always care about Joey. He was my first love"

"But maybe you should hear him out. Give him a chance. Just because they are stars does not mean that they all cheat" points out Mandy. "Rumors are not always true"

"Right I know that" I sigh.

"He did not want to break your heart. Your dad did that" Mandy reminds me.

"I get why dad did what he did. But it was my choice in life. Not dad's" I say. "It was between myself and Joey"

"I would go talk with him. Then you will finally have peace. Maybe you both can at least be friends once more" Mandy replies. She had a good point. I would like to have Joey in my life. He had been my best friend. I did miss him. As much as I hated to admit that I did.

"Then it settles it. I will have to talk to Joey" I agree with her and I nod.

She smiles. "While you are at it find out if Jordan is seeing anyone" jokes Mandy.

"Will do" I chuckle.

When I got home from work later that night I take a shower. Then freshen up. I get make up on. I have a little snack. And then grab the stack of letters. Getting ready to go see if Joey was home. Time to talk. See what happened to ruin us. Where we went wrong.
