Jake's hand slipped into mine and it took everything in me not to pull away. We hadn't talked much, not the conversation we needed to have anyway. I felt deflated, part of me wanted to give up. I was sick to death of feeling this way. "Are you okay?". He asked.

"We need to talk Jake".

"I know and I promised we would".

"We should say goodbye to your mom". Everyone had already headed back inside to enjoy the rest of the party.
