Attempts

Chapter 3

I don't know why but Michael never left my mind after the talk with Jane. He had been on mind during the whole day even during the dinner with my parents. Not a word entered my ears

"Emma what do you think?"I came back to earth as my father was looking at me questionably.

"To what?"

"Going to Spain for your cousins wedding" said mom taking a bite of broccoli.

"Patrick is getting married?!" To say I was surprised it was understandable as Patrick was always against marriage. "Who is the lucky girl"

"Isabella" said my dad smiling.

Bella is a girl who Patrick used to date 3 years ago. She is a beautiful Spanish girl who he started dating back in college but for all I know is that they broke up.

"When?"

"This September honey. I think we should go early for a tour there." Said my mom surprising me for wanting a time off from work. "What do you think?" 

"Sure that would be great" I said smiling and the dinner after that was spent in complete silence.

I spent the last 2 weeks between calling Ava who told me all the details about her trip to Florida with Todd, which she is enjoying so much by the way, and spending time with Jane shopping and catching up. I see my parents by accident in the house.

The strangest thing is that they are always whispering and stop talking when they see me entering the room which was odd. To make things worse we three never have dinner together again it is either me and mom or me and dad with one of them at the hospital.

I can't believe that 2 weeks had passed and Jane was going back to New York already, they passed by a flash. So when It was time for Jane to go to the airport, I decided being a good friend that I am to take her myself to the airport.

"You know its not too late to come with me. We can buy you a ticket and tell Sophia to send your clothes" she said as we exited the high way.

"Haha I wish but I still have things to do here. Can't leave that early" after debating whether to tell her or not "I want to tell you something" I started "I think there is something weird going on with my parents"

"What do you mean?" I poured out everything the whispering and the dinner thing, not being able to hold any more.

"Well look Emma, your parents are always weird. They are not a pair that you will find anywhere"

"I know but that never happened before"

"Maybe they just had a fight or something with their work after all they are one of he biggest surgeons in town. Give it few days and things will go back to normal" I really wish she is right.

After getting all her luggages from the back of the car. I gave her a bone crash hug with few tears in my eyes

"You take good care of yourself and call me when the plane land and-"

I didn't get to finish the sentence "Okay mama bear don't worry about me. I am not that old partying Jane. Now I am a responsible Jane so don't worry" she said laughing

And with that she turned to leave after one last wave while not knowing when we are going to see each other again.
