Girlfriend

Hi! Sorry about the wait. I owe two chapters to anyone who's reading this because I plan to post a chapter a day. So here's the next chapter.

She had wasted energy worrying about him and doing research on the plague, and she'd done all of it for what? Nothing.

Maybe not. Maybe she did have a reason for worrying about him. The reason being that she cared. She cared about Tony and about what happened to him. She cared whether or not he got hurt and if he continued his relationship with Jeanne, and if they got back together again which she knew he wanted. It would not work out and he'd only end up being more hurt than he already was. The damage had been done the second he had first lied to her, about his name, his job his past. From the very start there was little hope that it would not end badly She also did not see how he could have allowed himself to feel anything for Jeanne when he knew that she was a mission and that he would only end up hurting her, and possibly himself, as a result if he did fall for her. He had though and she could not change that. There was one other person he had hurt, though she would not admit it. Her. She felt as if he'd stabbed her in the back, hard, with a knife. The blade cutting through her heart.

She sighed loudly and stopped thinking about him before she let her thoughts and emotions get out of control, which they were already starting to do. She cared a great deal about Tony, maybe more than she should. Gathering up her gear she decided it was probably best if she went home. She'd get some sleep and maybe in the morning she'd be in control again and the crazy thoughts would be gone. She was tired, not thinking straight. That's all it was. She absolutely did not have feelings for her partner no matter what her other co – workers thought.
