My Journey: Home (Sequel to My Journey) ***COMPLETED***

June 19, 2011

Well, last night was my party! It was awesome! Lots to clean up, but before I can think of even starting that, I have to think about the past 2 weeks. Then the most interesting thing happened at my party!

But first: the past 2 weeks passed quickly. I hardly knew it was Friday until I got a call from Justin.

"Hey Justin, what's up??" I was a little taken aback by his call. Don't know why, just was.

"Just wanted to let you know that I can't wait to see you tomorrow!" He laughed.

"Oh! It's already Friday?"

"Uh, yeah... You forgot?"

"No. Just-time passes quickly... that's all. Can't believe that i've already been home for a month..."

"Yeah. A lot happens in such a short time...." He trailed off. There was an underlying message in that, but i'm not sure what exactly it was....

"What??" I asked, trying to find out.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Hey, I gotta go. Scooter needs me."

"Um. Sure. Bye."

"Tomorrow!"

"Yeah." I laughed. He hung up and I couldn't shake the thought of what he said.

I walked down to the living room where Jake and Jesse were watching TV. "Hey, so are you guys going to stick around tomorrow?"

"Maybe for a little bit." Jake said.

"Yeah. I just want to meet Tom." Jesse said. Those 2 do everything together and never seem to mind. If one goes to a party, the other does. If one goes on a date, it's a double. I would get sick of it.

"Well, back off. He's mine!" I laughed.

She laughed with me. "Sure. I thought you had Taylor."

I shrugged, "eh, I don't know. But you still can't have him!"

We laughed again and I walked into the kitchen to check the supply of alcohol. Yupp, still plenty. Plus a bunch of the people who were coming that could get their hands on stuff, did. We should be good. And I guess when it's gone, the party's over. Hahah.

I turned, looking at the clock on the wall. 5:00 pm. I decided to make dinner since neither Jake nor Jesse were going to. Spaghetti and meatballs with Cheese bread and milk. I set everything on the table and called the other 2 in.

"Thanks little sis." Jake said. "What would we do without you?"

"Die. Of starvation." I laughed.

They joined in. "Probably." They both said.

When we finished eating, I started to clean up when Jesse took the plate from me. "We got this Jords." She smiled.

I returned it, "thanks guys."

"No problem. Right Jake?"

"Yeah, totally."

I smiled again, walking out of the dinning room. Finding nothing to do, I wandered back to my room. It was now 6:30. I soon found myself staring at a picture of Ryan that I have on my computer. It was a picture of the 2 of us, laughing and having fun at the beach. Then I started crying. I don't know why, I just did. And I couldn't stop. Jesse soon found me.

"Jordyn! What happened??" She shut the door and ran to me.

She instantly had her arms around me, and just waited as I found my words. "Why hasn't he come?" I cried, "why??"

She looked behind me at the computer and saw Ryan, smiling back. She quickly closed the picture and pulled my face to look at hers. "I honestly don't know. But what I do know is that he's an asshole and a douche-bag for not coming. A long time ago. Like he should have been here even before you got here. He's not worth it Jords. He's not. If he wanted to, he would have come. It's time to forget about him. I know that will be hard because he's everywhere. But you have to. You can't keep waiting for him. I've seen how you run to the door when a car pulls to the gate. I see how you look at your phone when it rings. You have to forget about him. He's forgotten you...."
