Mr. Brooks Point of View:

Over the next few days I tried to give Rebecca some space and treated her like a regular employee. I was trying to make the situation less awkward than it really was. It was hard for me to stay away from her because I still have feeling for her. If heartache hurts this much I don't know if I want to be rejected again. I was trying to get my mind off from Rebecca by helping as many customers that entered the store. Then, a certain customer enters the store an hour before we close. When Rebecca goes over to greet him, I felt a pang of jealousy because this guy caught her attention easily. She looked at him like he was the only guy in the room and seemed like the world only revolved around them. They both looked into each other's eyes for several minutes before either one of them said a word. I never saw her look at me like that, and she never acted as interested in me as she did with him. He wanted her opinion on almost every outfit he tried on, which was my breaking point. I couldn't stand to watch them any longer because it felt like my heart was going to break into pieces, and I had to leave.

Rebecca's Point of View:

I noticed Mr. Brooks was trying to distance himself from me because of what happened a few days ago. He hasn't tried to ask me out again, but I could tell that he still has feeling for me. I don't know why he's making the situation more awkward than it's supposed to be since I've only known him for a couple of weeks. Honestly, we don't know each other that well and I don't feel I'm ready for a relationship just yet.

I was busy cleaning out the dressing rooms when an attractive guy walks through the entrance. He has short brown hair and beautiful blue eyes that sparkle. He directly walks in my direction while ignoring all the other employee's. At first no words are exchanged between us because we were too busy staring into each other's eyes.

After a minute or so he says, "Hi, my name's Liam. I was wondering if you could help me chose and outfit for my friends wedding."

"Hello! My name is Rebecca. I will be glad to help you, are you looking for anything specific?"

"I'm the best man at the wedding, so probably something fancy."

"I think we have what you're looking for right over here." As I walk him to the section where the suites are located. When we reach the section he asks, "Would you mind if you gave me your opinion on a few suites?"

"Yea, sure. No problem!" He went into the dressing room to try on a few suites. The first suite he tried on showed how built and tall he is. When he makes a joke his personality is revealed.

"Do I look dashing enough?" He then winks at me and I try my hardest not to blush. He is really dashing though! He tried on several more suites and we finally agreed on one. Liam bought the suite and before he left he smiled at me while he said, "goodbye."

When I said bye to Liam, in the corner of my eye I saw Mr. Brooks glare at Liam before he leaves. I know I said I don't want to be in a relationship, but I hope Liam returns to the store again.

Clair's Point of View:

I've noticed that Mr. Brooks and Rebecca have been distancing themselves and he's not as flirtatious with her anymore. It appears that Rebecca doesn't reciprocate the same feeling for him. Which means I don't have to worry anymore about Rebecca, or so I thought. I saw Mr. Brooks on the sales floor and walked over to him. I said, "Hey, Mr. Brooks are you feeling well?"

"Not really, my life hasn't been going the way I want it to lately."

"Why? Do you want to talk about it?"

"No, but thanks for asking," as he looks off into the distance.

I bet he's still thinking about Rebecca, it seems like she's continuing to be a problem. I guess I'm going to have to find a way to get rid of her after all!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
