Not Fair

Angel didn't like this woman at all and that was saying a lot. She liked or at least could tolerate almost everyone. But there was just something about Amber she couldn't look past, something about that bothered her to no end.

Seeing Travis move she winced herself knowing what kind of pain he was in. She didn't try to stop him though.

   "I don't think anyone should or will be paying for anything since no one did anything wrong."

As Travis stepped up to his mom she took a step back. As much as she wanted to defend her nephew she new he could handle himself too.

Not knowing what Travis had said Angel was shocked seeing Amber leave but was happy letting out a small sigh of releaf that Travis was staying here. He would be ok, but she wanted to keep an eye on him, just to make sure.

Taking ahold of Travis Angel helped steady him. His words to Lane cut through her own heart. Looking to Lane her eyes said she was sorry even if hadn't been the one who spoke the words.

   "Don't you worry none about your mom. I've been up against some of the hardest people before. It's just sad people have to live with so much anger it consumes them. Come on let's get you back in bed and resting sweety. I can give you a little something for the pain too."

Helping Travis back into bed and giving him something for the pain Angel made sure he was resting comfortably before leaving the room. Once out she ran a hand over her face and let out a long sigh before looking to Lane once more. She didn't know if Amber was gone gone or just lingering around the ranch but she hoped there paths wouldn't cross again.

   "She is quite a peace of work. Was she always like that?"

Once Kirk was gone Sapphire's anger turned to sadness and her heart ached. Letting out a long sign and sitting down in her chair she tried to keep herself together. She wasn't sorry for the slap, and she wasn't sorry for her words but inside it felt like everything was breaking. Gage meant the world to her even dispute his past and to have someone rip him apart and rip her apart for loving him made her think of things she hadn't in a long time and it hurt.

Hearing her brother voice Sapphire looks up quickly. She felt a little embarrassed that anyone had to hear her commotion. She had gone this long without anyone seeing ber temper. She was sure it shocked a lot of people.

   "Hey Scott."

She was trying to keep it together but her brother being there now she just couldn't. Tears streamed out of her eyes as she looked down at her desk and played with a sticky note that had been there. This was all so over whelming and emotional. 

   "No...no I don't think I am ok.  Gage is not a bad guy, hes changed so much...I'm not a bad person for loving him, none of us here are bad people. We are trying to do good, we are trying to help and yet someone like Kirk comes in and tries to rune it all. It's just not fair."

Entering Jason's office and being greeted so enthusiastic by Trooper Katie cant help but laugh as he licks her face continuously. Finally telling him to get down Katie sits on the ground with him and pets him.

   "Hey Trooper, have you been a good boy protecting Jason while Ive been away?"

Nuzzling her face into his neck she smiles looking up at Jason again. She really had missed this. Just being here, care free, enjoying her time with Jason and Trooper. They had been such a big part of her life to have it gone, it had hurt, but knowing things were getting better, and a friendship was being formed again made her happy. That was better than nothing.

Looking back down at Trooper Katie kept petting him as he rolled to his back, and than up to lick her again. Her laughter was loud and she new it but it was hard to keep in. Looking to Jason with a grin and than back to Trooper she whispered loud enough for Jason to hear.

   "Shhhh...if we are to loud Trooper Jason is going to kick me out of here and that will be no fun at all."
