WILL YOU BE THERE, TOO?
Chapter Five
Rose and Jack were now back in Florida, only
this time they were arguing.
"Just shut up, the only reason I married
you was because you were pregnant," Jack yelled. Suddenly he realized what
he was saying and felt Rose's hand slap him across his face. "Rose I'm
sorry," he said.
"You're not sorry Jack, we both know
it," Rose replied sharply. Rose went in their bedroom and started packing.
"What are you doing?" Jack asked.
"I'm moving in with Suka," she
replied, referring to her friend from Japan.
"I love you Rose and remember if you

Rose interrupted, "I won't." Rose

sounded serious," Jack said. "So did my mother and right now she's
cooking dinner for my pops at home," John replied. "Come on John, we
are teenagers and she slapped me," Jack drove back at him. "What in
the Hell did you say?" he asked Jack. "The only reason I married her
was because she's pregnant," he said. "Don't be stupid Jack, that's
not the only reason is it?" his friend asked. "No, I married her
because I love her," Jack replied. "Don't be a jack ass, take her
back," his friend urged. This same conversation was going on at Suka's
house too, and Rose suddenly felt like she need to see Jack...
