### From there his mind jumped to the downfall of his five year relationship with Wendy, his longest to date. Once again he was at what he considered one of the worst times of his life, as well as one of the most heartbreaking. Wendy's father had come out of her house drunk, yelling and cursing at him. He had gotten right up into his face, shoving him back, not once, not twice, but three times. Finally he had had enough; he shoved back, knocking his longtime girlfriends' father square on his ass.

### Wendy came running out and pulled Joe away, walking him down the street yelling back at her father to go into the house and stay there. Joe told her that he had had it; he could not take her father's shit anymore. Out of pure anger he took the necklace that each of them wore half of and threw it to her, then stormed off. He had always regretted that day; his first love was now gone from his life. It would be almost a decade before he would date again.

### The girl that had introduced them, Wendy, and Joe all met up in a bar years later, the girl that originally had introduced them had hoped that the old sparks between them would light up again. Unfortunately they did not; Wendy moved away to Vermont and he would not see her again. She would always have a special place in his heart for the remainder of his life. His hope was that maybe one day he might run into her again, but he knew that was unlikely.
