Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ambrose shrugged, feeling rather on-the spot. There was so much background. "It.... it's really a long story..." He said with a shake of his head.

He raised his eyebrows at Chubb's story. "Ouch..." He shifted a bit awkwardly. By the sounds of things: a father who walked out on his mother and a deceased grandfather, Chubbs had had his experience of hardships. Ambrose's relationship problem now seemed... well... definately differet.

Finally, he took a breath. "Back home... I had been in a wonderful relationship.... we had been seeing eachother for about three years... Angelina.... well... she was wonderful. I had thought maybe someday we'd.... you know.... get married.

Then.... THIS happened. I get whisked away to this Island. Supposedly for 'two weeks'. My heart is broken when I hear the truth. I never... you know.... even really got to say good bye. From what I Hear, I assume they tell her I died somehow. For the longest time, I hold out hope that maybe, someday, somehow, I 'll see her again.."

He swallowed.

"Then I got my third injection. And things ... reality, I guess... crashes down around my now furry ears. They're never going to let me go. Even if I escape, they say I' get cancer and probably die a horrible, painful death. So I start to try to face the hard facts that I will probably never see her again.... I'm lonely.... I need someone to confide in... to.... you know... share things with.... and I start to move on...

Emelyn.... Emelyn is a wonderful person. She really has been helping me through this - see the better sides of things, make me smile, and listen to my concerns - no matter how selfish or stupid they might be. The other night... we got closer..."

He blushed.

"Then... y..yesterday...." He took a breath. "Angelina.... she.... she showed up. HERE. She... she was looking for me... she never gave up hope.... she dug too deep and they lured her here to 'see me'. Now she's trapped here too. And... and God I missed her so much. But... now she's trapped here. I mean, I woudln't wish this on my enemies let alone her.. But I feel guilty for enjoying seeing her. But.... but I admit... Emelyn... and she's upset - rightfully so! But.... what can I do to help her understand I stilll love her.... and.. and... Emelyn! I really do care for her.... and she needs someone here as well... and and..." He dropped his face to his chin. "I don't know what to do...." He whimpered.

Ambrose really, REALLY wished that there were still alcohol on the island.

Joliette frowned slightly "That is a sticky situation Ambrose, I can certainly see your point of thoughts, I can't blame you for it, it's likely to be a rough road ahead, If love is true though Angelina will see you didn't mean to hurt her, as for Emelyn, that weels like a trickier situation, I'm not certain I could give advice there"

Ambrose nodded to Jamal as he got up to go. "Thanks for listening... at least. And... uhm... good luck with Awen. She seemed like something startled or upset her." He nodded his thanks at the shoulder pat.

He looked in turn to Joliette. "I... I certainly hope she will come around.... admittedly... she's had quite the shock with .... well... everything hitting her at once. I wish I Didn't haven't to be the bearer of bad news to her of all people... But I really really don't know what to say to Emelyn.... especially since she already felt kind of left behind in favor of another with another person here already... that will remain nameles...."

Ambrose blinked at Chubbs, then at Joliette and put a hand to his forehead. Ambrose hardly considered himself an expert at the whole dating thing, but to have met two people in as many days who had NEVER had a relationship before? And add that to Greer... and these were older people... "Well.... thanks..." He said awkwardly. "I think it's best I told her too.... I think it would have been worse to not tell her... have this secret that ate at me. Even though it was an inopportune time.... I couldn't keep that from her."

Ambrose frowned as well, and took several big bites out of the steak with a sigh. With Jamal gone... and as little as he admittedly would trust dating suggestions from a gansta.... that left two people with NO experience, and his heart sunk deeper.

"I... should probably.. I don't know.... get back or something." He looked at the uneaten piece of chocolate cake. "I wonder if I can even eat that now.... isn't chocolate poisenous to.... canines..?" Ambrose winced, looking as if he just got a moutful of something distasteful.

Chubbs looked at the cake, as the oppurtunity hit, he thought he could lighten the mood, even if he was pissed.

" Ya can .. ah..always rely on me for.. like, food disposal, ... if not.. to listen"

He smiled on one corner of his mouth, he tried but the feeling wasn't there. He felt completely useless, and it was aweful. But he tried his best.

" The well.. see.. it's.. not like I don't want a girlfriend... I just.. couldn't find one... and ah...well... those that.. well sit on the side and watch.. kinda learn alot"

Chubbs stroked his fuzzy cheek.

" I .. I can't know what it'd be like in .. well your shoes... but Em..Em ah, I forgot her name..I think you should let her know... like umm soon.. and from you...... If ya like... I can be there for ya?"

"Sleep well Ambrose, and best of luck" Joliette said with a soft smile truly hoping he did have good luck.

"No I should be fine thanks Chubbs, I dont need more Naff clothing Appreciate the offer though, see you soon" She sighed and looked down at her plate and just picked at it for a while

Joliette eventually gave up eatting and left as well returning to her own duplex
