Of course she didn’t eaves drop.
Of course she went outside for some fresh air, leaving Jack and Sally to talk.
Though, not five minutes Later, not even that, Sally left the clinic. She didn’t even look at Katelynn, instead she hurried down the street and was soon gone from sight.
Well that had been rather fast. Katelynn blinked after Sally, wondering if something had gone wrong. She turned and ran back to Jack’s room, trying to be as quick as possible.
“Was…Is everything all right?” she whispered, coming to Jack’s bedside.
He was laying there, staring ahead, his expression fairly unreadable. Slowly, he blinks.
“She told me she didn’t want me going back.” he said quietly. “That she hears about the violence. That she’s scared for me. That she wants me to move back home, and never go back.” Jack pressed his hands against his stomach, gripping at the blankets. “She told me she loved me. That she’s loved me for years and that I just never saw it. I. I told her she should have just told me. That she shouldn’t have kept it quiet this long but. I told her I love you.” his eyes looked up to Katelynn, they were wet, but not crying. “That my heart belongs to you, and you to me. She said. Things. Against you and I told her to leave. If that’s how she really is to. To not talk to me again because I don’t want to hear those words against you. Ever. Because I love you. She called me an idiot, that. That the city’s changed me for the worst and, and that you’re bad for me. Then she said she hated me.” he tilts his eyes as best he can, trying to see the door.
“Then she left.”
