Left Behind

Stacy gives a nod. She had no doubt that he would live up to her trust in him. IN a way it was so strange that she trusted him so much with Ashlee, or trusted him at all. The way her heart fluttered, the way her stomach turned in knots, everything about Eric made her feel like a little kid again it was hard to accept she could feel this way.

   "I'll save you a spot at the table with Ash and I."

Giving a smile Stacy turns to head out of the barn. The rain would pick up soon and she wanted to finish her afternoon rounds before it got to bad. Though she did want to stay there and watch Eric. Stopping at the door and turning to look at him Stacy almost has to force herself to leave. Why did it feel like she was mush when she was around Eric. It was a feeling she would have to ponder even though the answer was simple!

Looking up at Hunter Katie could see the questions written all over his face and for a moment in his eyes she saw a softness, the silly, over confidant look was gone and it made Katie wonder was this the real Hunter? Once again his personality had changed and Katie couldn't help but wonder if it was just a mask or real this time.

Shifting a little and searching Hunter's face for another moment Katie finally shakes her own slightly at his question. She wished there was something he could do but really there wasn't. She had to work thought this herself, and try to figure everything out. It's just how it was.

   "You are doing something, your having dinner with me. Other than that I have to work through it myself. Rick, the Dr in charge of Jason and I's care said it will just take time to start feeling again. It just...it feels like Jason is moving, spending time with friends, laughing having a great time and I'm just...getting left behind."

Looking down at the table again Katie lets out a small sigh. Thinking about it, and admitting it was so different. Actually coming out and saying how Jason made her feel seemed to hurt more than just pretending it didn't happen.

   "I know he didn't mean to make me feel that way, at least I don't think he does. It's just one of those things ya know? I don't know I am sure things will work out just till than...at least I have a friend to hang out with now too. So thanks and I mean that."
