Slowly lifting up his hand, adjusting his hat. He wasn't in the mood to see her but he had to come back. Walking into the Lodging House he tried to walk past the sitting room with out glancing in. There she was. He cringed. The pain was still there, the wound was still fresh. Didn't she know what she was doing. He shook his head dashing up the stairs.

Coming out of the bunkroom Fantasia saw him coming out. "Heya Klutzy. What's wrong?" she asked.

'Nothing's wrong!" He shouted running up the stairs the boys' bunkroom fighting back tears.

She watched him run up and shook her head. "Dat boy." She said walking away."What about him?" Asked Cricket as she ascended the stairs.

Fantasia shook her head. "He's...he's a mess...he came up da staihs and ran off saying nothing was wrong but he had the most awful look on his face.

Cricket sighed. "I guess he musta had a run in wid Sorrow or sumthing."

Sling appeared what seem out of nowhere. "You know I think it's so MEAN what she did to Klutzy."

"Yeah me too." Harley spoke up.

Peppermint walked past them and stopped. "Hey she's probably go her reasons, it ain't nice ta bad mouth her behind her back. If you wanna do it do it in front of her and Ani." She said pushing her way into the bunkroom.

"Why in front of Ani?" Snitchberries asked puzzled.

"Probably so she don't have to defend herself and Ani can do it for her." Breeze Replied bitterly.

SB gave her a look saying, "Hey..."

They all jumped hearing a sound of someone clearing their throat. "Ditzy!" They screamed.

"Hey what is this a relief society?" He asked with a smirk. The girls rolled their eyes, with sound of things along the line of "Good one" and "you're a genius Ditzy." He laughed and walked down the stairs.

Following close behind him was small running footsteps. "Hey!" They looked up to see Charmer. "Tawking about me are ya?" He asked grinning.

"Yes were sure are tawking about choo, Sorrow." Shimmer huffed. The girls talked amongst themselves, Charmer trying to hit on them all.


Klutzy sat down on his bunk pounding his mattress lightly. He was pushing back tears, wiping every occasional one that fell. He closed his eyes, trying to push the thought of her out of his mind.

Blink walked out of the bunkroom glancing over towards Klutzy. He decided to go over to talk to him. "Hey." He said softly.

Hearing someone out of no where talking to him made him jump a little.' Hey." He said trying to smile at him.

"you okay?" Blink asked sitting down beside him.

He tried his hardest to say yes but he shook his head no. "No." He choked.

"What's wrong?" Kid Blink asked as if he didn't know.

"I just love her so much even now, after what she did, dat I can't stand...I can't be around her without hurting so much." He said trying not to sob.

Closing his eyes, Blink reached over touching his shoulder. He didn't know what to say so he just let him talk.

"And you know...it hurts so bad, she's so..." He sighed standing up walking over to his dresser. "I've gotta leave." He said opening the drawers.

"What do you mean you've gotta leave?" Blink asked him walking over.

Klutzy looked up at him shoving things in his pillowcase. "I need to leave as in leave the Lodging House."

Blink shook his head. "You're not going to leave!"

He shook his head. "I have to. I have to be away from her. Forever. If I can't have her why should I be around her. Not after spending a night with her."

His friend reached out trying to grab a hold of his hand. He shrugged away. "Just think about it please!" Blink pleaded.

Klutzy turned around "Don' ya see, I've gotta get away, gotta distance myself. At least for a little while. I can't be so near her. It's killin' me to see her everyday. I jus' can't do it"

Blink sighed and looked down at the floor for a moment. "I guess you're right. I dunno. Will you promise me you'll come back when you feel like you can?" He asked.

Klutzy returned to packing "I'll try, I'se don't even know if I'm gonna be able to get over dis. I jus' don' know what's goin' on wid me, I've gotta get my mind together, and ta do dat, I hafta get away from all a youse"

"Jist...don't do anything drastic like jump of a bridge or go get married to the first goil you see." Blink replied.

Klutzy sadly smiled, "I promise, I ain't gonna be dat stupid again. And if Sorrow does change her mind, I don' wanna be dead or unavailable. 'Sides I don' want anybody ta feel guilty" he laughed self-depreciate

"Okay..." Blink started. "I won't let the others know for a while give you a chance to go away. If it's what you really want. You might...I dunno."

Klutzy half-smiled, "T'anks. I really need ta do dis, ain't anyt'ing else I can really do"

"Yeah I can see your point. If you'se done packing ya bettah go before people come back ta da bunkroom." Blink said gesturing to the fire escape.

Klutzy nodded, "Yeah, dat's what I thought. " He was halfway through the window when he turned back "Would ya watch over Sorrow for me, Ani and Ditzy will probably do it too, but dey don'....."

Blink walked closer to him scratching his head. "Dey don't what, Klutz?"

Klutzy sighed, "Dey don' keep da space 'tween her and Oscar dat I t'ink is needed, I jus' wan' ya to look after her"

He nodded. "I will don't worry about it. Um...You watch out for your self." He smiled

Klutzy smiled back "You too, don' let them get on ya for not stoppin' me" He replied put his hat on and disappearing out the window.
