Lieing

Feeling Ryder's arms warp around her Thirteen was able to relax a little. She was safe now, at home with someone who cared for her, protected her and she loved. As she tried to relax tears just rolled down her cheek, more and more. She'd been so scared, and she wished she was stronger.

   "I...I was just so scared he was there to take me away, to take me back. I wasn't strong enough to stand up for myself..I just froze."

How could Ryder love someone as broken as her. Why did he stay there week after week for her. She felt like she was more of a burden than anything to him and Katie both. She wished she'd been stronger, if even just a little bit.

Scarlet studys Eli for a long moment. There was something wrong, something on his mind more than he let on and it was not often, actually this would be the first time he didn't tell her what. He made her worried.

   "I hide it till you tell me whats really wrong...without lieing!"

Eyeing over Eli Scarlet backed away a little bit from him. The most important thing about there relationship was being honest specially with all the travailing she did. Thats the only way a relationship like there would work and she really hoped Eli wasn't going back on that now. She dared to say she loved him, but she wouldn't stand being with someone she didn't trust.
