-"7 MONTHS EARLIER"-
DINA'S POV

-" Dina can we talk?" Jesse said coming in the room where Thony and I sleep
-" Sure" I said as I quickly hid the letter Ellie left back in the farmhouse

I followed Jesse downstairs in the kitchen

-" What do you wanna talk about?" I asked as I took tje cup of water he handed me
-" Are you really hoping Ellie would come back?" He asked
-" What do you mean?" I asked
-" I mean c'mon Dina it's been fucking 3 months now are you still hoping Ellie would come back?" He asked
-" Jesse I'm a hundred percent sure Ellie would come back, you're her friend you should know that" I said
-" I know Dina......but you're making it hard for you and me" He said
-" What do you mean making it hard for you and me?" I asked
-" Dina........A long time has passed sinve I've manage to remove my feelings for you........but eversince I saw you again back in Seattle I just couldn't help myself to fall for you once again" He said
-" Jesse what the fuck are you saying" I said
-" Dina as much as I don't want to but yes I still love you and you're making it hard for me everytime I see you mourn over Ellie mourn over someone who doesn't even chose you when she's given the option to go over her moms killer or you" He said
-" Then you're making it hard for yourself Jesse......I understood why Ellie left us.......I understood why she did that........I shouldn't have agreed staying with you if I knew something like this would happen" I said

I turned around him but before I could even walk he grabbed me and turned me around to face him

-" Then let's make a deal.......we're going back togetheer today" he said
-" Yeah like I would fucking do that" I said
-" You fucking would be" He said
-" Why would I fucking do that?" I asked
-" You'll do that for Thony" He answered
-" And why did Thony suddenly got involved here?" I asked
-" Ofcourse you don't know.......yesterday I saw Thony got bullied by kids in the playground wanna know why?" He asked
-" Why?" I asked
-" Kids are bullying her because they say she has no father to protect him then I heard Thony mentioned Ellies name then the kids just laugh at her and pushed her to the ground I quickly ran over to her and said to the kids that I am Thonys father" He said
-" I didn't know" I said
-" Well now you know........enough said we're making a deal we'll be officially together on this day if Ellie doesn't come back after  5 months I'll be marrying you and we'll be a family but if Ellie comes back after 5 months you're free to go back to her anytime you want" He said

I took a few minutes  before answering I never knew it would come to this I don't want to accept Jesses deal but I'm more worried about Thony

-" So what'd you say?" He asked
-" Ok fine I'm kreping the deal" I said
-" Great" He said
-" For one condition we're just acting" I said
-" Sure" He said

Jesse bacame a father to Thony and the kids who bully her doesn't seem to fight her anymore Thony became hapoy and me I'm happy for Thony but for myself I ain't I don't want to be married to Jesse I hoped everyday Ellie would come back she will come back and I'll hold onto that

-"3 MONTHS EARLIER"-
-" THE NIGNHT ELLIE AND DINA TALKED "-
DINA'S POV

After a few minutes of crying when I closed the door I decided to go upstairs then I saw Jesse at the stairs

-" The fuck Jesse" I said
-" Sorry" He said
-" Are you eavesdropping?" I asked
-" Dina----" I didn't let him finish his sentence as I went down to the living room
-" Jesse what'd you hear?" I asked
-" I heard everything but I----" I cut him off his sentence
-" Jesse let's talk about this laterI need rest" I said walking away from him but he hold my shoulder making me stop at my steps
-" You won the deal Dina" He said
-" So?" I said
-" So you can go back to Ellie" He said
-" Jesse let's not talk about this now" I said
-" Why not........you know I couldn't understand you.......you waited so long for Ellie and now she's here  you don't even want to talk to her" He said
-" Jesse you don't understand" I said
-" Then make me understand" He said tightening his grip on my shoulder then he faced me
-" I don't know what to feel ok........Yes Ellie's back I am hapoy but some oart of me is still hurting.....some part of me still doesn't want to forget what happened " I said then tears fell on my cheeks
-" Dina if you truly love Ellie then you'll easily forgive her and you better realize that before something happened" He said letting go of my arm
-" You can go rest now" He added

-"PRESENT DAY"-
DINA'S POV

-" Why didn't you go after Ellie?" He asked
-" I wanted to Jesse I really do.....but I don't know when or where I should find her" I said
-" Dina.......I've read the letter while you're sleeping and it's funny how 3 months came and you still don't know where Ellie is" He said
-" What?" I asked
-" I'll be just admiring the beautiful view of the sunset. You know where to find me" He said reciting the last sentence in the letter
-" I don't understand" I said
-" Dina among all the people you should be the one who knows that" He said

I ymthought the last line in the letter again and again and again then finally I realized how can I be such a fool in all of the people I should b ethe first one to know thus I of all people is the last one to know I'm a fool

-" Now do you know where to find her?" He asked

I took out two sighs before I answer I looked down then back at Jesse

-" The farmhouse" I said
