Venice

Venice: This is a great place James.
James: Thanks Venice. I'm hoping that you like this place.
Venice: Oh it's great.
James: So we've been on a few dates so I was hoping you would tell me how you got into YouTube.
Venice: I'm actually not sure, I've just actually been really into just doing what I like.
James: I heard you like Volleyball?
Venice: yeah I love volleyball you?
James: No, I'm not into sports so much.
Venice: Oh...
James: Can I ask you something personal?
Venice: Sure.
James: So about Jin...do you miss him?
Venice: I do, almost everyday.
James: What's he been up to?
Venice: I actually don't know...I haven't talked to him ever since he moved to Nevada. Look, do you mind if we don't talk about him? I'm sorry.
James: oh..no I really shouldn't have asked that I'm sorry, lets just enjoy our date.
Venice: Yeah lets.

Charlie
…
Monica: Hi Taylor. I hope you are well. It's been awhile.
Charlie: Wassup Lee... I hope you guys are doing good in heaven. Haven't heard from Jin and I'm sorry.
Monica: Why are you sorry?
Charlie: We haven't heard from the guy in two years. I promised Lee's grave that I would look after him but he just wanted to be alone.
Monica: Babe imp sure Jin's fine. I know it's tough but we can't just go see him.
Charlie: wait...why not?
Monica: What?
Charlie: We can just go to Nevada and see him!
Monica: Are you sure?
Charlie: We have to. Jin was more than a friend to us; he was family.
Monica: yeah...I miss him too. Venice just hasn't been the same. Alright Lee and Taylor.
Charlie: We'll be back soon.

James: Had a great time with you.
Venice: Yeah you as well.
James: So can we do this again?
Venice: I would love too.
James came in for a kiss and I kissed him back.
James: Bye.
Venice: Bye...
James then left.
Venice: That was weird.
I went in and grabbed my extra clothes.
Venice: huh...here we go.
I went to the gym and went to the volleyball court.
Worker: Working on serves again?
Venice: Yep.
Worker: Hey do you know if that Jin kid is coming back?
Venice: Umm I'm sorry I'm not sure.
Worker: That's a shame...he was a good kid.
Venice: Yeah he was.
I went in and launched a jump serve. The impact was loud but it was outside the line.
Venice: dammit. Lets try this again.
I kept practicing for hours then I went home.
I went in and Monica and Charlie was there.
Venice: Oh...hello.
Monica: How was your date?
Venice: It was nice...
Charlie: Hey listen we have a surprise!
Venice: Geez what's got you two so pumped?
Monica: We are going to Nevada for a couple weeks.
Venice: Hehe Nevada? What for?.....
I realized Jin was there.
Charlie: Yes, we are going to go see Jin.
Venice: Jin....
Monica: Did you want to go? James is welcome to come as well.
Venice: no....actually...yes but...
Monica: Look you don't have to decide right now. We were planning to go on Friday so you have a couple of days to decide.
Venice: okay...
Charlie: Alright then well we should get going.
Monica: Okay alright. See ya sis.
Venice: bye.
They both left.
I went to my kitchen and saw the picture that Jin gave me.
Venice: I miss you..

James
….
I went to Millie's Café to grab some coffee and was heading home until I bumped into someone.
Leon: James?
James: Leon? Oh.. Hi how have you been?
Leon: I'm doing good. Look listen...about that night.
James: Look man it's fine we all were tipsy you have nothing to apologize for.
Leon: I heard your dating Venice?
James: Umm... yeah I'm sorry I should have asked..
Leon: No your fine she's an adult. She's allowed to date whoever she wants. But how's it going?
James: We've just been on a couple dates so far nothing too serious.
Leon: You're gonna keep dating her?
James: What do you mean?
Leon: Come on man we all were there that night.
James: No me and her have something special.
Leon: That's what I thought but...she has her heart set on another guy.
James: Look man I got to get going...
I decided to walk away.
James: Venice?
Venice: Come in.
James: I got some coffee, want some?
Venice: Sure thanks James.
James: You okay?
Venice: No...actually...
She told me all about the trip to Vegas.
James: Wow....are you going?
Venice: I was thinking no...
James: What why!?
Venice: You want to go?
James: To see Jin why not?
Venice: I'm just...
James: Just what?
Venice: Just I....does he even want to see us?
James: I'm 100 percent sure that he would love to see you guys. Did you not hear his last video? You guys treated him like family.
Venice: Okay....why not.
James: Lets go.
Suddenly I thought about what Leon said.

Luke jumped and served.

Jin: Bruce!
Bruce set up a ball in the air.
I jumped with all my might and spiked as hard as I could.
Announcer: And Jin does it again!!!! The ace and captain of the Red Phoenix!
Jin: YES!!!!
The crowds were cheering.
