Jessica and Danny didn't leave the apartment for three days. They just spent their time together like they had forever.

Once it was time to get back to classes Jessica and Danny went off and did their thing and hung out later on. They didn't have sex again. They talked about what was the next step, but there was no next step. Jessica knew she had to go to Paris island and see Sam. It was a week away and her stomach ate her alive.

Being with Danny felt so right but than felt so wrong. She loved Sam, but Danny turned her into a different person and Jessica loved it. They shared so much in common. Jessica would miss the touch of Danny during the day, the way he whispers into her ear, and the constant reminder of how much he wants to be with her.

Jessica didn't know how to tell Sam when he got back. Jessica didn't tell Sarah, Danny and Jessica kept everything to themselves. Jessica at times would google small apartments and she did have the thought of moving out.

D- Miss your body, your voice, your smile. I just want to get out of class and see you.

J-I want to see you too. But you have to study.

D-I am glad we did this. But I feel so guilty.

J-Don't feel guilty Danny. It was bound to happen.

D-I can't wait to see you.

Danny and Jessica send back texts back and fourth throughout the day.

After classes Jessica went over to Danny's dorm. He had made them dinner.

"Thank you, this looks so good." Jessica says

"Anything for you.

Jessica, I don't know what I would have done if we stopped talking."

"When you said we need to spend less time together it made my heart sink. I think that's when i truly realized that I was attached to you."

"Love works in such strange ways. We met almost 8 weeks ago. And here we are."

"It's been pretty amazing..." Jessica leans her head down and traces the pattern on the table cloth.

She suddenly begins to sob. Danny runs up to her and leans down taking her hand.

"What Is it? Don't cry babe."

"Sam, Sam! I cheated on him. Danny how could I have done this. I don't regret it, but than I do. I am starting to not love him. What do I say when he comes home. I want to be with you but I am scared, I am scared to throw away the relationship I had with him."

"Jessica, you know that spending these last few weeks with you, drifting you away from Sam was never my intention. I am sorry that I broke my respect for your relationship, but we love each other. If you need time than that's okay. There is no rush. I am always going to be here waiting because you are worth it. We have to take this slow. I want you to be happy."

"I feel like such a whore."

"You aren't a whore Jessica Lange! You are nothing like that. Don't make yourself feel like that. You are no less of a person from making love to me. We have to promise we won't do it again until you and Sam are finished."

"Danny, what if I take him back. What if it's different when he comes back." Jessica sobs even hard and throws herself into Danny. Danny rubs her back.

"I don't know what to say. I guess things will be different between you two and we will never make love again."

"I promise Danny that I want to be with you, I just need time to figure things out."

"That's okay. I understand." Danny kisses Jessica and wipes away her tears.

"We should have waited..."

"I think what's getting to me is the feeling that I actually don't regret it. And that I did it out of love."

"I feel the same way." Danny hugs Jessica and gives her a kiss.

**

A week later Danny and Jessica didn't see each other that much, she was getting ready to fly out to Paris Island to see Sam graduate from the Marines boot camp. Jessica's heart raced, it was the first time she would see or hear from in in months. She knew it would be hard to see him up close after what happened. After graduating Sam could come home for 1 week until he left again to start training.

It killed Danny having to say goodbye to those few weeks of fun and laughter. He was scared Jessica would go back to Sam. If that is what she did there was nothing he could do. He loved her too much to not see her happy.

Jane and Jessica stood outside after the graduation looking around for Sam.

A light tap hit Jessica's shoulder. She quickly turned around, and there he was. Sam stood up tall with his shoulders back. His hair was gone.

Jessica started to cry and jumped into his arms.

"I missed you baby." Sam says hugging her

"You can come home!" Jessica kisses him.

On the way home Jessica and Sam shared a seat together. They caught up on everything and went out to eat when the plane landed.

After Sam reunited with his family Jessica and San drove home to the apartment.

"I am so happy to finally here your voice again." Sam says

"These thirteen weeks went by too slow. I am glad to have you home. I wish you could stay longer."

"Jessica, this is really for me. I really enjoy it. I think we should move to Paris Island. We could be closer to each other."

"Move? I haven't even finished the school year, and I still have more to go. I can't just drop everything and move."

"Why not? Jess I want to see you everyday. You can live on the base with the other women. Come on jessie!"

"Sam, you can't just ask me to move away from my home. I like it here."

Sam ran his finger down Jessica's cheek and looked at her.

"I am sorry... "

Sam leaned in and gave Jessica a passionate kiss. Jessica tried to avoid it but Sam slowly reached his hand down her body. He started to become rough with her, it didn't feel the same.

As Sam slowly made his way inside Jessica, she quickly got up and ran into the bathroom.

Sam pulled up his pants and followed her. He knocked on the door.

"Jessica, what's wrong?"

Sam put his ear to the door and heard Jessica crying.

"We haven't been with each other for 13 weeks, what's going on Jess?"

She didn't answer. She sat on the bathroom floor and sobbed quietly.

I can't have sex with him. It doesn't feel the same, I am not attracted to him anymore. Why do I keep leading him on. How do I tell the man I have been with for 7 years that I don't love him anymore. Nothing feels the same anymore. We have such good history. Our memories we have shared are ones I would never want to replace. That's what's holding me back. Who knew in 13 weeks I could drift away from who I thought was the love of my life. I can't live like this, all alone in this apartment. I can't move either. I love it too much here. And Danny is here...
