broken hearts

sterling: i smiled bigger after this kiss and our food came to our booth

Shannon: I started to eat some of my fries, because I wasn't very hungry, but I was going to eat something.

sterling: i started with my cheese burger

Shannon: I glanced around the restaurant once again, and the painless was gone. Both relief and dread filled in the pit of my stomach. (brb)

sterling:" where there a painless here shannon?"

Shannon: I shook my head before I looked back at Sterling. "No...not anymore." I answered softly.

Sterling:" good " I said as I look into Shannon eyes

Shannon: I sincerely doubted if his statement was true. The painless could report back to Blake, and then...anything could happen. I wanted again...wanted something to get rid of my problems, just for awhile. Not alcohol, just something

Rose: I walk in the diner and I took a seat next to sterling " so how is everyone"

Shannon: I caught myself before I could lie, and say 'Good'. "We're doing okay, what about you?" I asked Rose, glad that I didn't flat out lie.

Rose:" just fine enough"

Shannon: I sort of picked at my food, since I wasn't hungry at all now. "So, what did you do?"

Rose:" walk around"'I said which was true at least part truth

Shannon: I could tell Rose was only telling some truth, being an ex-deceiving Friendless, but I didn't press the issue. Yet. I finished what I could of my food. I felt sick with worry again.

Sterling:" you finish Shannon?"

Shannon: "Yes." I answered simply. I only used 'yes' other than 'yeah' or 'yep' when I was distressed, and I wasn't really sure if I wanted Sterling to pick up on it, or not.

sterling:" then lets go back to the building"

rose:" yup lets go "

Shannon: I stood up, and took Sterling's hand in mine after the bill was paid for, and we left the diner.

sterling: i held shannon close to me as we walk back to the building while rose follow us

Shannon: I was thankful for the feeling of protection, but I didn't know if Sterling realized I was worrying again.

sterling: once we got closer to the building rose when up ahead and went inside the building first

Shannon: I just expected Sterling to now ask me the question--or questions--I dreaded to answer.

sterling:" are you okay shannon "

Shannon: I mentally sighed in relief. That wasn't the question I was thinking of. "Not really, Sterling." I answered truthfully.

sterling:" tell me what is bothering you shannon "
