Dirty Dancing: Do you love me?

Summer of 63.

It was the morning after that precious night, the night that changed the way my father viewed me. Also the night that Johnny came back and held me tightly in his arms in front of everyone, it felt like it was just me and him up there.

"Baby!", I sat on my suitcase trying to keep all the clothes in that I had roughly packed. The three weeks were over, what a rollercoaster ride I thought to myself.

"Hang on!", I bellowed, my sister came in and slammed the door.

"Daddy wants to miss the traffic.", She stated as she crossed her arms, finally I heard the suitcase lock. I jumped off my bed and dragged my suitcase which ended up dragging the covers off.

I quickly made the bed again and slowly walked into the main part of the cabin, I slowed my steps even more begging myself not to exit the door. Once I was through that door it was back to normality, I don't think I was ever ready for that.

"You ready baby?", I nodded. I sadly picked up my suitcase and walked down the steps and placed it next to the car.

"I need five minutes.", I ran as fast as I could down the now familiar paths, I heard my name being called back by my family as I continued running.

I heavily panted as I ran up the steps to his cabin, without hesitating I opened the door and went inside.

"Johnny!", I called, I explored his cabin but there was nothing here, none of his belongings.

I held back my disappointment and heavily sighed. Penny? I thought. I slammed the door behind me and ran to Penny's cabin.

Again without knocking I bundled my way through her door. It was the same scene as Johnnys room, empty. I sat on the sheetless bed and was overcome by a wave of emotions, he had left. All I wanted was to say a few words to him, to thank him for everything. Thank him for making this summer of 63 the best thing that had ever happened in my life, I held myself tightly as I began walking back towards the car.

My family came back into view as they were all leant against the boot of the car, I hurried my steps and wiped my fallen tears away.

"Come on, baby.", My daddy said, my mother didn't even have to say a word as she knew me too well. She grabbed me quickly and held me against her.

"He wasn't there was he?" I shook my head as I felt the emotions taking over me again, "Come on, get in the car.", I received a kiss on the forehead before taking my seat in the car.

I watched the memories almost fade away as the car pulled away, I kept watching Kellermans get smaller and smaller until I couldn't see it anymore. I wiped the tear with the sleeve of my shirt and shut my eyes tightly, couldn't I just wake up in Johnnys arms?

"Miss. Frances!", My head shot up from the desk, I heard light laughter as I was glared at by my tutor, I wiped my eyes and continued listening to the lecture.

That's right, I continued to pursue my career of working in the Peace Corps. At first the struggle was unbelievably difficult. I had just come from the summer of a lifetime to sitting back at a desk taking notes.

It was sixth months after that summer, I still couldn't get him out of my head. It wasn't finished, whatever we were doing or whatever we had. I glanced put of the window and remembered our first steps together, I may have caught his toe a couple of times or at least hundred!

"Miss. Frances?", I turned my attention to my tutor again, "Can you answer the question?", I instantly blushed.

"Can you repeat the question?", I questioned.
