Looking down at the table and picking at the left over napkin the
toast had been on Katie let out a sigh. It had been hard to sit here and
hear Jason out there wanting to talk to her. It hurt to not run to him
and tell him everything was going to be ok. It hurt that he didn't
respect her enough to give her a few days and just leave her be. It hurt
that she had been fooled, walked on and gave everything she had into
making this work just to have it end here.
"I'm...I
don't know if I am ok or not Hunter. I just hurt...I don't know if this
whole thing is my fault or not. I just feel...so messed up inside with
everything."
Setting the empty coffee cup down Katie
lets out a long sigh. Where had everything gone wrong and why? It was so
hard to tell what started it and how it had gotten this far. She only
wished there was a way to fix it now and there wasn't.
"My Aunt has a ranch in Texas...thats where I first met Jason. We hated
each other but I was always the first one to come running when he went
into one of his fits."
Thinking about it was so long
ago...time really had gone by quickly. One minute they hated each other
the next minute Jason and herself had become best of friends. Only now
to have it end. Maybe getting away was what Katie needed. Maybe going
back to where it all started.
"I was just thinking
maybe I should go back there for a while. It's quite peaceful, and they
help people there all the time. Maybe I need time...to help myself.
Does...that make me a coward running away from my problems Hunter?"
Giving
a small chuckle Grace keeps her hand in Jared's for a long moment.
Looking back into his eyes...his dark, dreamy eyes she searches them.
There was just something about him that was different. She wasn't sure
what it was or why...but it was almost like she was drawn to him. Did
God have a deeper reason for her to be here and thats? Grace didn't know
the answer to that question but if she had to guess she might have said
yes.
"I think...I am more than your therapist, I
might have just hit friend status. If...thats ok with you of course. I
mean therapists don't bring in outside food, and bring people outside on
there days off and stuff like that...do they?"
Grace's
eyes sparkle in the sunlight as her curls bounce in the soft wind. It
had turned out to be such a nice day out she was happy she was able to
share it with someone and enjoy herself. Why she felt a little heat come
to her face too she wasn't sure but she new there was no hiding it, but
she didn't much care. IT was something that she had no contole over,
and maybe it would even flatter Jared.
Giving a laugh and taking a sip of her water Stacy gives a small shake of her head. She though it was funny that Eric liked going with her on her rounds. Than again maybe it was just her he liked being with, but if that was it than did that mean yesterday wasn't just a one time thing?
"Well, I mean...there might be someone who just might want to walk a
little extra slow tonight, that will be making rounds if you want to go
for sure that is."
Stacy felt like she had just been
talking in circles and she wondered if Eric understood at all what she
was talking about. A little bit of warmth can be felt on her neck
climbing to her cheeks. She really did feel quite silly.
Moving
her foot out a little bit it brushes against something. Freezing for a
moment she couldn't help but think it felt like a foot. Looking to
Ashlee she could tell it wasn't hers so looking to Eric she just
searches his face for a moment. It felt like high school all over again
and she could feel even more heat on her face as she moves her foot
again rubbing it along his foot once more.
