because I can hardly concentrate with him standing so close, but I actually master it on my own. It’s fun. When we finally get bored with playing, Deanna and I watch a movie while the boys shoot a game of pool.
    It’s late by the time the movie has finished. As I head out the door for home, Mikey offers to walk me across the street since he is heading out as well. I overheard him tell Luke earlier that he was stopping by some girl’s house later. I thought I saw Luke shoot him a look when he offered to walk me out, but maybe not.
    “They’re crazy, aren’t they?” he asks as we step into the warm misty air.
    “Yes, you all are. I had a lot of fun tonight.”
    “Me, too. They’re great. They’re like my family.”
    “Yeah, Deanna said the same thing about you.”
    We are at the street now so I start to cross. “Thanks for walking me over. I’ll see ya later.”
    “See ya, JJ,” he says as he gets into his car.

Chapter 8
    (Jesse)
    I can hear the rain pelting against my window when I wake up. I can’t sketch at the docks today. I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to spend time with Luke and also a little disturbed that it bothers me so badly.
    Dad and I finish unpacking the house. It finally feels like our home. We both agree my mom would be impressed. We talk about her more frequently now. I like talking about her. It makes me feel closer to her.
    Deanna and I decide to make it a shopping day since the weather is crappy and there is not much else to do. She suggests we head over to The Walk in Atlantic City. My dad is more than happy to give me plenty of money to get whatever I think I need. I think he’s relieved that I found someone to do this task with me. My mom had always been the shopper. I’m not even sure if my dad has ever stepped into a store. I don’t think he would be thrilled with taking over that role. Not that I would have wanted him to. Having no idea where to start, I was happy to have Deanna go with.
    “Alright JJ, what style are you into?” she asks as we step off the bus and are now surrounded by a hundred stores.
    “De, are you kidding? Do I look like I’m into any style?” Pointing to my shorts, sneakers and oversized t-shirt. That is why you’re here. I need help.”
    “Oh, good. I was hoping you would say that,” she says, checking me out before giving me a wink.
    I love her sense of style. She always looks older and more mature than me. Well, that’s not hard to do... her clothes are stylish; they show off her perfect body, though not in a sleazy way.
    “Okay, what do we have to work with?” I can tell she is excited to get started.
    “I have $300.  And he gave me an extra $20 to treat us to lunch. Will that work?” I laugh.
    “Oh… He’s so good. That’s perfect. I can’t believe he gave you so much.”
    “Well, he said I haven’t bought anything for myself for so long that he agreed I was in need of a new wardrobe.”
    “Great. Let’s go to H&M. They have a nice selection. You can get more clothes for your money.”
    “Sounds good to me.” I have no idea what she is talking about, I don’t know what H&M is, but she sure does; so I follow along.
    Once inside the store, she is like a kid in a candy store. She pretty much sticks me in the dressing room and just keeps handing me things to try on. Some of the things I’m not used to wearing, it is almost too much for me. “De, I don’t know if I can pull off some of these things the way you do.”
    “JJ, you have a cute little body and you’re going to show it off. Now, I thought you were going to leave this in my hands? Trust me; I will not give you anything that I wouldn’t wear myself. Everything I’m handing you is very tasteful.”
    “You’re right; I’m just not used to it. Am I going to have enough money?”
    “More than enough, everything I’m picking is from the sale racks. Now here, try this on. The emerald green will look perfect with your eyes and hair.”
    She continues to hand
