Left Behind

Chances

November 1st-

*Twenty Days... Can't wait to see you. Have a great day at work, and good luck with your publisher today. -Danny*

Jessica picked up her phone and smiled. Every morning and every night Danny would leave a text message for Jessica to see.

*Thank you. I'll let you know how it goes. Have a good day at work. :)*

Jessica blushed after she sent the message.

She walked into her bathroom and looked in the mirror. She fixed her hair then herd her phone ring again. This time she watched her facial expression through the mirror. Her eyes lit up and her cheeks turned rosey red. A small smile appeared on her face.

"Oh god Jessica, what are you doing!" She utters to herself

After Danny left Jessica did a lot better with not being around him. She went on with her days doing the same old daily routine. She would wake up, go to work, have lunch with Sarah, go back to work, have occasional meetings with her publishers, get dinner, go home, go to bed, and repeat. She'd always have one thing to look forward to at the end of the day which was having a nice phone call with Danny as she sat on her bean bag in her studio. It was the best part of her day.

Work was going well. Jessica hadn't seen Sam at all during work which was a relief. Jessica hadn't seen Sam since the fight. Danny didn't want to press charges, he just let it go.

During Jessica's lunch break she stopped at Sarah's shop for lunch like she usually does.

When she walked in Sarah noticed that Jessica seemed a bit pre-occupied.

"Jess, what's going on with you? Is everything okay?" Sarah says taking a sip of her drink.

"I don't know... My life, it's just so boring." Jessica moans leaning back on her chair.

"Boring?"

"Yes, boring!" Jessica rolls her eyes

"Sorry...."

"It's not your fault. I just do the same thing over and over again each day. The only real exciting part of my day is having lunch with you and face timing Danny after work. That's so lame of me! I'm twenty four."

"Adulthood isn't all that fun. We have to do the same thing over again every day to make a living."

"True, but it must be exciting for you. You can make your own hours, design different styles of clothing, go home to a boyfriend, and so much more. For me, well nothing's that exciting."

"It's not my business, but why don't you try things with Danny?"

"We live in different states. I'd never see him. It would be the same as it is now. But just with a title." Jessica shakes her head as she becomes frustrated.

"Then meet someone else."

"I can't do that to Danny."

"But you aren't dating."

"But we want to."

"Then date!"

"No!"

"Ugh, Jessica!" Sarah becomes irritated

"What?"

"You want one thing but then you don't want to do it. You need to take chances, that's why your life is so boring. You don't take chances! If you go around complaining about your life and don't take action, well damn I'm afraid I can't help you. Danny wants you and you want him. Your making him wait, and the more you make him wait the sooner he'll get away.You need to try things with him." Sarah raises her voice.
