(Avi’s POV)

“Hi Jeremy, what are you doing here?” I ask as I stand there still shocked that he is actually here.

Jeremy tries to look around me into the house and I step to block his view.  He steps back and says, “Hi Avi.  How’s it going?”

“I guess it’s going okay, why are you here?” I ask again.

“I need to talk to Kirstie, please,” he insists.

I take a deep breath and sigh.  I think to myself, so much for this evening.  I tell him, “Wait here, I’ll see if she’s available.”

I close the door and turn around and head into the kitchen area where everyone else is standing.  This time, I see for myself, that Kirstie is in fact hiding behind Scott. 

I walk towards the group and say, “Kirstie, there’s uh, someone here to see you.”

Kirstie steps from behind Scott and says, “No, I don’t want to see him.”

“Okay, I understand that, but, he’s standing outside the house.  What do you want me to tell him?” I say. I don’t really know the full details of the relationship that Jeremy and Kirstie had, but I can tell that she’s uneasy about it.  This is when I see Scott step forward and say, “I’ll talk to him.”

“Fine, whoever.  He’s outside.” I say.  I start to clear some of the dishes away to busy myself.  Kirstie joins me in the kitchen and she reaches out to me and grabs my hands, “Avi, I’m sorry.  I don’t want you to be upset.”

“I’m not.  I’m worried about you, Kir.  What’s going on?  Why is Jeremy here?  How did he find us?” I ask, realizing that I am bombarding her with questions right now. 

“I guess he wants to talk.  He took the break up hard and he just won’t listen to me.  He doesn’t want to hear the truth.  He sort of scares me when he gets like this,” Kirstie says looking down at the ground.

“Well, you have nothing to be scared of here; I won’t let anything happen to you.  And your bodyguard, Scott, won’t let anything happen to you either.” I say with a smile.

She smiles because she knows that we all tease her that she’s like Scott’s little sister.  They have been best friends forever and Scott would do anything for her.  I’ve never been jealous of Scott because I know he doesn’t see Kirstie in that way and she doesn’t see him in that way either.  I hug Kirstie and feel her wrap her arms around me and whisper something.

“What was that?” I ask.

“Sorry this evening was ruined.” Kirstie says.

“It’s not ruined at all.  Don’t let Jeremy ruin it.  He’s not even staying.  He’s still standing outside the door.” I say. 

(Scott’s POV)

I walk to the door and open it and step outside.  I see Jeremy sitting on the front steps and I walk down to where I’m now standing on the walkway facing him.

“Hi Jeremy,” I say trying to be even toned.

He looks at me and sighs, “Great, she sent you instead.”

Jeremy was always jealous of my friendship with Kirstie and couldn’t understand how a guy and a girl could be nothing but friends. 

“She didn’t send me, I sent myself.  She doesn’t want to see you.” I say.
