Heartaches and Heartbreaks *Book 2 to Second Chances*

Chapter 3

They went to the store.There was a lot of traffic, and Star was caught up with the music playing. Andy laughed at how she did not care what she looked like when she banged her head and sang along to the music. He thought it was adorable.

Star had been though a lot in her life, and he was happy that she was now happy. He could still see some trails of sadness in her. It was just the way she looked at him sometimes, the way she sat alone, the way she moved and hid from others. He wished he could do something to help her move on.

They got to the store, went in, and bought some groceries. Andy pushed the cart and followed Star down the ieals.

They finished their shopping, and were now back on the road heading home.

Star and Andy both sat silent listening to the music blasting from the radio. Then Star remembered something she had to talk to Andy about. She reached over and turned the music down.

"Is it to loud?" Andy asked confused.

"Um... no... I need to talk to you about something..."

Andy leaned over and turned the music off completely so all his attention would be on her," Is something wrong?"

"Oh no, it's something else..." Star said.

Andy nodded and Star continued," Um... there's this guy at work... he asked me on a date...."

Andy glanced at her. He looked surprised but happy, but that was not what emotion that was going on in the inside. "Really? Have I met this guy?"

Star shook her head," No he just started working and the store a couple weeks ago."

Andy nodded," Do you like him?"

Star bit her lip and shrugged," Well... I don't know... Maybe..."

"Star, it's okay. It's good you're going out again."

"Really?"

Andy nodded," Of course. Just promise me you'll be careful."

"I promise," Star laughed. She sighed in relief. She thought Andy would react in a completely different way then he did.

Although Andy was smiling and looking happy for Star, he was screaming on the inside. He was crushed she was going to be with someone else besides him. He also knew that it was good that she was getting out. She has not gone out with someone on a date since Jamie. Andy knew he was being selfish, but he could not help it. All he could do was keep his mouth shut and be there for her along the way. He did not want to cause trouble, most of all, he did not want to lose her.

By the end of that night Andy ended up carrying Star to bed yet again. He honestly did not mind. He laid her down in bed and covered her up. He managed not to wake her up carrying her.

He kissed her head good-night, and walked to the door. He looked back at her before shutting the door behind himself. "If only you knew..."he whispered. A tear came to his eye, and he closed the door.
