We drive into town for our separate lunch meetings. Van and the guys meet Regina at a steakhouse, while Jenna and I choose a small delicatessen.

“This place is great! I wish there was a deli like this at Lakeview U.”

“We’ve been eating here for years. I used to come after cheerleading practice to fuel up.” She bites her pickle. “I’m sure the guys will be a while. You’re going to love LA! Lots of sun, shopping, and great entertainment. I can’t wait to show you all the amazing stores.” Her eyes sparkle and gleam as she sips her diet soda.

I exhale deeply and drop my turkey sandwich back on the plate. “I don’t know how everything’s going to play out. I do start my new job after Labor Day.”

Her eyes widen and her head flinches back. “Are you thinking of bailing on Van? Please don’t, it’ll kill him.”

I sigh. Van is probably thinking the same thing. “No! I just have to do the long distance thing until we figure everything out. My career’s important to me and I don’t want to end up resenting him.”

She sits back in her chair. “There’s nothing in the world like true love, don’t forsake it. That’s all I’m going to say to you.” She bites her sandwich. “Make your decision, but remember whichever bed you make is the one you have to lie in.”

A wave of nausea flows through me. There goes my appetite. I have to stay positive to keep my sanity. “Like I said, we’ll see what happens.”

Jenna is as quiet as a church mouse, a stony expression on her face. We finish our lunch in silence.

The steak house is a street over from the deli. The warm breeze flowing through my hair and across my skin comforts me. Our heels click against the concrete sidewalks as we approach the restaurant. The boys emerge, holding a stack of papers and schedules.

“So what’s the verdict?” Jenna rests her head on Marcus’s shoulder.

“We record in the beginning of November and start another nationwide tour to promote the new album in March.” Marcus picks Jenna up and swings her around.

The guys are smiling ear to ear and talking about their future plans to further their careers. Well, all the guys except one. Van walks over to me, with his head down. He flashes a meek smile. My stomach hardens. Great, more silence. When we reach the car I slide into the seat and turn down the radio.

“Congratulations! I’m so proud of you. Three albums is quite an accomplishment.”

Van lips are in a hard line. “Thanks.”

“Wow, try to control your enthusiasm.”

The tires screech against the black top like a war cry, leaving a trail of skid marks and burning rubber. Van slams the car in park. “Don’t you realize my happiness is directly related to you?”

I take a deep breath and close my eyes, trying to hold back my tears. “I told you we’ll work it out. As long as we love each other, everything will be fine.
