I got home in good time and changed. I was fully dressed as Melissa andhad dinner ready and wine open by the time Victoria arrived home.VictoriaOnce ...gain I was thinking whilst on the train. Where was Chris/Melissagoing and what did I want? After about twenty minutes thought I came toa conclusion. I liked Melissa, I liked going out with her, she lookedgood and having her around more often would be good. I would like that.Having her around more often would be tricky, unless she was around. ‘What was that for?’ I asked incredulously. ‘My name is Jeanie, not Jane!’ she yelled and stormed off. I laughed at myself before looking back over at Katie. Jeanie was right, Aiden was about to kiss Katie. He was grasping her chin lightly and tilting her head upwards, slowly moving in to her luscious lips. Unaware of myself I started to stride towards. As I reached them I hooked my arm around Katie’s waist lifting her over my shoulder and ripping her away from Aiden. I started to walk. A voice appeared in her head, a soothing one with such an alluring sound that she found it hard not to listen. It was too calm and it caused her a headache because no one really sounded like that. The voice was promising her peace and quiet, things she desperately wanted, things Anyone would be foolish not to want so much. Grabbing the railing to the stairwell, she felt her feet almost fall into step and take her headfirst down the stairs. Peace and quiet, a place of her own where she could. I unrolled my sleeping bag, threw my stuff on it, and I was unpacked. I stepped out of the tent, and there was Sam.“Go for a walk, Buddy?”“Sure.”We didn’t have to be back until late in the afternoon. Mom and Dad had told us we could go anywhere we liked as long as we didn’t bother anyone. Without saying anything, I took Sam’s hand. On the far side of the ridge above our tents a grassy meadow sloped down to a shallow lake. We went down from the ridge a little, over near some trees, where there.
