"Are you feeling better?" Quincy asked as we pulled out of the hospital parking lot.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said looking out of the window.

"You decided where you're gonna stay yet?" He asked with his eyes on the road.

"I'll stay with you. Only until I'm able to work again. That's it. After that , I'm going back to my apartment" I said.

"That's fine. I'm okay with that." He smiled.

"I talked to your mom." He mumbled.

"What? You didn't tell her I got shot did you?" I shouted.

"Of course not. She just asked about you , that's all." He sighed.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I started to notice some unfamiliar streets.

"Well I promised you that I would get you some help. So that's what we're going." He said as we pulled up to this building called.

"Dr.Dean & Company."

I got out of the car and we both walked in.
"I'm bringing her here for Sex Addiction Anonymous." He said.

"And that's how I ended up here talking to you all right now." I sighed.

"Well Jasmine , it seems to me that you don't want to be here." Dr.Dean said.

"I don't." I scoffed.

"Well from the story you just told us, it sounds like you need to be." She said nodding her head.

"Sex addiction is a very serious thing and the first things that comes out of it is Admitting that you do indeed have a problem." She said pushing up her glasses.

"Do you not think that you have a problem?" She asked.

"I believe I had a problem, but I don't anymore. I haven't had sex in
weeks and I'm perfectly fine. I haven't even thought about having sex." I sighed.

"Well that will be the end of our session today ladies. See you next week?" Dr. Dean said getting up from her chair.

We started to walk out and a couple of girls stopped to talk me.

"Did you really leave Adam Rodriguez?" One of the girls asked.

"You don't miss all that stuff he used to give y'all?" Another one asked.

"It's not worth it , for everything you have to do , to get it." I sighed.

"I have to go." I said then walked out.

Quincy was in the parking lot, waiting for me and I got into the car.

"Why did you bring me here?" I yelled at him.

"To help you." He said.

"This is embarrassing. Nobody needs to know about my life." I sighed.

"Maybe you should tell people about it. I think people should know. Write a book about it or something." He said.

"Let's get out of here." I rolled my eyes.

Maybe I could write a book or something about Adam's house, or maybe I could write a movie.

"When we get to my house, I need you to put on some clothes. I got something for you." He smiled.

"I'm not really in the mood for anything." I sighed.

"You'll be in the mood for this, I promise." He laughed.

Once we arrived at the house, he made me go straight to his room and change.

I couldn't walk around the house, go outside or any of that, just straight to his room.

Once I got dressed, he put his hands on my eyes and led me to the backyard. I knew it was the backyard because I felt grass on my feet.

"Welcome home Jaz!" Everyone yelled as he took his hands off of my eyes.

They scared the hell out of me. I didn't expect that at all.

Everyone that cares about me was there , even Miranda.

"Hey Jaz." Miranda said walking up to me.

"Hey." I said awkwardly.

"I'm glad you're out of the hospital." She smiled.

"Why did you miss me?" I asked.

"I really did. I still got some love for you." She laughed.

"Some?" I raised an eyebrow laughing at her.

"So, are y'all back together now?" She asked.

"No, he wants to be, but I don't want no parts." I laughed.

"Well that's kinda good, well not for him but it is." She said.

"Why is that good?" I Asked and she became silent.

She looked away and didn't say anything.

"Hey. I'm over here." I said tapping her shoulder.

"It's good because, maybe I want you to be with me." She said biting her lips nervously.

"In order for that to happen, I need  you to be sure about it." I said and we both became silent.

Truthfully a small part of me does want to be with Miranda, if she wants to be with me. I don't want her to be confused and once we enter a relationship it ends.

"I'm sure." Miranda said putting her hand on top of mine.

"Are you really?" I asked.

"Yes Jaz, I want to be with you." She smiled and I pecked her lips softly.

We were still sitting there talking when Quincy went up to the deck and said he had an announcement.

"Jaz, can you come up here please?" He asked.

I walked up and stood next to him. Some people were smiling and others were just as confused as I am.

"So you all know that Jaz and I have been on and off for a long time. We're not together right now, but I wanted to do something special for her by throwing this party." He said.

"And Thank you for the party." I said still confused as to what he was about to do or say.

"Also, there's another special thing that I wanted to do." He said reaching into his pocket.

He got down on one knee and opened the box in front of me.

"Jasmine, I miss you and I want us to work. Will you marry me?" He asked with a smile on his face.

I Looked at Miranda and her eyes widened. I just told her that I love her and now Quincy wants to propose.

I didn't want to be with him, because I didn't think he was serious about us, but clearly he is.

What have I done?

Sorry for the wait guys.
The book will be coming to an end soon. There are like 3 more chapters left. If there's anything special that you would like to happen, let me know and I'll try to fit it in.
