Thigs don't always work out as they plan

DEVIN: Ughhhhh!
JAZZ: You know it's your own fault.
DEVIN: How?!
JAZZ: you keep canceling on everyone else so they're going to cancel on you
DEVIN: So? This took me so long to get everything together!
JAZZ: Please, you had off cause you boss is stuck in England and you texted everyone to meet you at the park and get pizza.
DEVIN: And?! How do they know I didn't reserve a big table for everyone? That's expensive here you know!?
JAZZ: As expensive as Julie's birthday cruse that you bailed on the night before?
DEVIN: That's different.
JAZZ: How?
DEVIN: She was my girlfriend-
JAZZ: Which makes it worse.
DEVIN: and she should have known I don't like boats.
JAZZ: Really? That's your excuse?
DEVIN: Were not talking about cruises were talking about getting together as a group of really good friends for a nice lunch and catch up.
JAZZ: Ohhhh! So you mean like what Marc, Lisa, Jerry, Andrew, Blake, Steff, and EVERYONE else in the group has been doing on Saturday's at the dinner? That we invite you to but you always say no.
DEVIN: Well-
JAZZ: No. you don't have an excuse, you're sister shows up and spills how you're just home watching TV.
DEVIN: I'm sorry.
JAZZ: You should be.
DEVIN: I'll come this weekend.
JAZZ: Good.
DEVIN: You're pretty upset about this.
JAZZ: Well yah, you've missed a lot. Marc proposed to Lisa, Steff is pregnant again.
DEVIN: Shit, I did miss a lot. But why are you upset about it?
JAZZ: (whispers) Cause it's more fun when your there...
DEVIN: Oh?
JAZZ: Never mind. Forget I said anything. (Starts to get up to leave)
DEVIN: (grabs her hand) I'm sorry. (Kisses her)
JAZZ: Wh-what was that for?
DEVIN: Not realizing it sooner. Jazz, your always there for me no matter what, even if I'm being an ass, which I know is often. I'm sorry it took till now for me to realize my feelings for you.

Happiness

Sitting on the freezing bench with the cold Georgia morning air blowing through the bleachers, I can barely contain myself! It's been 2 months and 3 days since I've seen Sean. We got in early evening yesterday and woke up before the sun this morning to get here in time for the briefing for his Sargent. There's a loud yell and the  first platoon comes out and does there thing and runs back. This is it! I have my phone out and start recording as soon as I hear company two yelling from beyond the hill. Where is he? Not tall enough... he's tall but no glasses... His mom mom taps my leg and points. 

"There he is" Stevie, his youngest brother, says excitedly. Yep, there he is. I have a smile from ear to ear. He's so handsome, marching tall and proud. After the whole company finishes showing off we get to go down and find out Soldiers in amongst the green sea. I look over at his mom and stepdad anxiously excited. 

"Go ahead, find him." She says sweetly. And with that his brothers and I run off to find him on the blacktop. I know my Seanie and I see him right away, we make eye contact and he smiles brighter. I run faster, darting between all the other happy reunions and hug him tight. This is home. This is happy.
