"If you want to know the Truth Amy, I think you should go with your Heart" Trish replied with her best serious voice a glint of warmth coming from her eyes, "I'll do that" Amy confirmed, Looking up to see Benji and Jagger walking hand in hand towards the table, "Where's Matt and Jeff?" Amy and Trish asked at the same time. "Trying to win this Stuff Animal from one of the games" Benji answered sitting down next to Amy as Jagger took a seat next to Trish.
"Mommy look what Benji won me" Jagger said excitedly holding up a Plush Basketball. "You thank him?" Amy asked, "Yea he did, I feel sorry for Matt and Jeff through" Benji added, "Why is that?" Trish asked raising her eyebrow, "Cause they spent about Ten Dollar apiece in Quarters and have nothing to show for it" Benji laughed taking a Drink from his glass.
"So what's your plans for Today?" Benji asked resting back against the seat and tapping his fingers over Amy's back, She nuzzled her back against his fingers, contracting a small smile from her lips, "Oh nothing" Amy replied sweetly, Feeling his fingers run over her back was a comforting experience, one that would let anyone know that they are safe.
Sitting up and whispering into her ear, "So you wouldn't mind if I took a trip up to see Der would you" The sound of his breath in her ear brought for thousands of tiny termors that ran themselves throughout her entire body. "Not at all" She whispered back her heart soften as he smiled, "When we get home, I'll take my Car up and I'll be back with an Hour, then we'll figure something out" Benji said as Amy shook her head in Agreement, she found herself melting for him, giving her emotions to him.
Amy felt a Gentle pain in her right ankle and looked over towards Trish who again raises her eyebrow to Amy and smiled approvingly. She was happy that Amy had finally begun to open herself up to trust someone again, She remembered the first few months after Deryck's death, Amy was afraid to let herself depend on anyone. Now even admitting her soft and new found attraction was a Far Step from what she used to be.
Amy rested her head against Benji's shoulder, yawning silently and blinking her eyes several times, Benji again leaned back and put his arm around her shoulder, Providing her with a Soft spot to lay her head. Amy's eyes drifted towards Jagger, who was now busying drawing on a Piece of Paper Trish had giving him, His hair was falling over his light blue eyes as he scribbled with a crayon of the paper.
"Hey Jagg, You ready to Go?" Amy asked picking her head up from Benji's shoulder. "Ok" Jagger answered handing his Paper back to Trish, "Its for you" He said innocently, as she took the paper from him, "I love it" Trish replied kissing his Forehead, "Be good for your Mom Jagger" Trish warned as Jagger got down from his seat and Joined Amy and Benji in front of the Table. "I will" He replied waving Good-bye and walking towards the Direction of the Game room, where Matt and Jeff were still playing their Game. "Bye Uncle Matt, Bye Uncle Jeff" Jagger called out waving to the Brothers, Amy walked over and hugged both of them while Benji waved to both before picking Jagger up and starting the walk out of the Restaurant.
*Cemetary*
Benji slowly got out of his car and shut the door, straighten out the Wrinkles that formed on his Black Button down shirt, Walking up the paved Hill he collected his thoughts, Bringing new thinks into his head, Things he needed to tell Deryck, Things he needed to forget. Things he couldn't bare to say only to think.
The way he felt about Amy, a love that he once had because of what happened to his Brother, a Love that formed out of trying to comfort each other had over the course of the year growing into something more, Well at least to Benji it had, Everything touch she laid upon him was laced with a Thousand different Messages, Every smile forged with a Thousand different Emotions.
The way she was acted towards him, Now was much more physical, much more longing, more affecting. His head spun with thoughts of her flowing in his mind, everything she had done, to the way she made him feel, all balancing each other into this center of emotion, That wasn't right but never felt better.
Stopping that the top of the hill and walking to the left, Benji stopped at the Grave Site of his Twin Brother, Sighing he crotched down next to the headstone kisses it and laying his forehead on it, a tear fall from his eyes and he took a deep breath. "Der" He said starting what was to be a long conversation, "I miss you, Amy and Jagger do too. I think you would be surprised about Jagger, He's smart Deryck, really smart, He's a great kid. Im sorry you can't be with him. You'd be amazed at how much he looks like you, I swear I see you in his eyes, Every time I hold him, Its like Im holding you, It's like your back here with us where you belong" Benji stopped wiping a tear from his eye again.
"Deryck I have to tell you something, I don't know how to say it, I don't know how I will be able to tell you, I feel like I'm letting you down just by feeling this way, But Deryck, I think Im falling in love with Amy, I know what you think, I know its wrong. We've been through so much, I'm so close to her right now, I try to comfort like you would. I try to be there for her. But I fell in love with her. I know why you did all those years ago. Im sorry Im have to say this Deryck, Im sorry I have to fall in love with your Amy, Don't you think I meant for this to happen. Its just that Jagger thinks I'm his father, We don't know how to tell him about you, We don't know what to say to him" Benji was crying know out of the Aggravation he caused on himself.
"We'll tell him one day Deryck, We'll get everything straighten out, He'll know about you, He'll understand what happened, Jagger will know you as his father, And I'll go back to being his uncle, I swear to you I will. I guess I was jealous of you Deryck, You had everything and you lost it all, I had nothing and I got it all, The only problem is I got it all from you."
