Summer was laying on top of Jay they were both naked & breathing heavily & damp from sweat. Summer was quivering from the passionate love making they just shared.
Jay: Are you ok? You're shaking.
Summer: Just trying to catch my breath. How are you?
Jay: I'm really happy & it's the first time in a long time I've ever felt this way.
Summer: Jay, thank you for waiting for me.
Jay: Thank you for coming back to me.
Jay held Summer tightly & started kissing her. They were both open to each other, sexually & emotionally. As their naked bodies lay on the blanket by the fire, their hearts became as one. They both knew they were meant to be together.
Summer: I'm sorry I didn't realize that you were the one for me all these years. I could've saved us 6 years worth of heartache.
Jay: Shhh, the important thing is that we're together now & that's all that matters.
Jay held Summer's hand in his & he brought her hand up to his lips to kiss them. A sad look glazed over Jay's face.
Jay: Summer, there's something you should know.
Summer: What is it?
Jay: Tomorrow I have to go in to report for duty.
Summer: So you're going back to work?
Jay: More than that. I've received orders.
Summer: Ok.
Summer sat up.
Jay: And... It will most likely be overseas to the Middle East. A couple of my buddies have already shipped out.
Summer: What?
Jay: They're pulling in US troops & more specifically, the marines.
Summer: You're leaving tomorrow?
Jay: Yeah.
Summer: How long will you be gone for?
Jay: I really don't know, Summer.
Summer: But we just...
Jay sat up.
Jay: I know... That's how the military life works. I wish I didn't have to leave so soon.
Summer started to tear up as she remained in Jay's arms.
Back in Washington, Brian was assisting his uncle in the garage & trying to work as many hours as he could before school started up. Brian & Dyxon we're working on a car together when Brian brought up his recent dilemma.
Brian: Do I go for it? Or is it too soon?
Dyxon: Um...
Brian: I mean we kissed & boy was it a great kiss, but it was a New Year's kiss so it might've just been the occasion. You know what I mean?
Dyxon: ...
Brian: But the next day, Serena did ask me to accompany her to her ultrasound. I mean what is that?
Dyxon nodded unsure of what to say next.
Brian: But I took Grandma's place. It was a thing she would've taken her Grandma to. Like a grandma thing not a boyfriend material thing.
Dylan walked in the garage & overheard Brian rambling about Serena.
Dylan: I think you're overthinking all of this.
Dyxon: Oh good, Dylan's here. Thank God!
Dylan: If you like her tell her how you feel.
Brian: I guess I'm just scared of getting hurt.
Dylan: No matter the scenario, you'll always get hurt when you care for someone, Brian.
Dyxon left the room & conversation. He just couldn't keep up with the boys' drama, especially Brian's chattering of his girl problems.
Brian: So you're saying I should...
Dylan: Tell her how you feel?
Brian: Hmm, I see what you mean, but I don't want to come across as...
Dylan: Desperate, scared, lonely?
Brian: Ok, to name a few.
Dylan: Why are you listening to me? I shouldn't even be giving relationship advice. Look at my last relationship. That was a bust.
Brian: Well, you live & you learn.
Dylan: Definitely learned what not to do, but now I can't live without her.
Brian: Wait, do you still have feelings for Summer?
