Justin's Point of View 

Three weeks, six days. That's how long it had been since I saw Emerald. She called numerous times during the first week. I didn't answer once. I even had miss calls from Megan. Not once did I give in to the need to message to her.

To see how she was going with school and work.

More importantly I just wanted to know how she was. So I had been focusing all my energy into footy. We won all three games. My performance wasn't doubted anymore. I was kicking goal after goal. I had more disposals. Coach was happy. Everyone at the club was happy- but me.

The second week, I hit the clubs with the boys and Leah. I drank to the point of passing out and boy did I get lecture from coach about that. But I won the game the following day and he didn't say another word to me about it.

"IT'S ON! IT'S ON!" Jessie Scott's girlfriend came screaming into their lounge room.

I had been sleeping on their couch for nearly a month.

"What is she going on about?" I asked Scott who was shaking his head at her.

"No idea." Scott answered. We were still up celebrating our win.

Jessie pushed my legs up and sat down on the couch grabbing the remote.

"What late night television show or something Jessie?" I asked, never seeing her so excited.

"NO! Emerald's big announcement!" Jessie started flicking through the channels. "I've been annoying her all week about it. Since it hit the headlines she was holding a press conference."

"Why would she be holding a press conference at one in the morning?" I assumed not everyone will be watching at this time of the morning.

"Because she is in Europe." Jessie said to me like I was stupid. "And everyone who is anyone has had this highlighted. It's bigger than the royal wedding!"

"SINCE WHEN DID SHE GO TO EUROPE!" Why the hell was I just finding out she wasn't even in the country?

"I think she flew out about the same time you started staying with us." Jessie gave me a pointed look. "So clearly you two aren't talking?"

I clamped my lips shut. Scott had attempted to get the truth out of me but when it came to Emerald I wasn't saying anything.

"OH look she's on!" Jessie slapped my leg and turned it up. "This is live too. Gosh it looks like really lovely weather over there."

"I didn't know you and Emerald talked?" I said to Jessie while my eyes were on my wife as she got ready to be interviewed.
