"Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one"

Cris walked into his apartment and was shocked to see Jen sitting on the couch. He went over to her. "Where's Natalie?" He asked worried.

"She went home, it seems she had a headache." Jen said getting up.

"But she's ok?" Cris asked worried.

"I guess. What are you so worried about any way?"

"I just want to make sure she's ok, that's all."

"How about let's not worry about Natalie, she'll be fine. We will cal her tomorrow to check up on her. Ok?" Jen asked trying to act as she cared.

"Actually if it's ok I'd like to call and check up on her." Cris said as he went for the phone.

"But she's probably asleep." Jen said as she put the phone down.

"Well you don't know that, and if she is asleep then Jess or Rex will answer the phone." Cris said as he picked up the phone again.

"Why can't you just check on her in the morning?" Jen asked annoyed.

"What's wrong, Jen?" Cris asked shocked as Jen put the phone down.

Natalie drew her self a bath, she could not take the stress any more, it was causing her to almost have a real headache. As she got in the water and closed her eyes, she started to think back to Cris. That is all she could seem to think of these days. She had to get him out of her head. She couldn't think of anything else and it was driving her nuts. She loved him and she knew it but she also knew that he didn't love her and by thinking about him she was wasting her time. She had to find something or someone else to focus her energy on. There had to be someone. Think Natalie think, who could she possibly focus her energy on….

"I didn't mean anything by it, Cris, I just is it too much to ask for you and me just to spend some time together?" Jen asked.

"I guess not, I'm just worried about is there something wrong with that?"

"No, I just…. Cris I think she wanted to get away from us for a little while. After you left, we were talking and…." Jen said acting nervous.

"What did she say?"

"She just… well she said that she need space, from you… she said she didn't like be dependent on you. I'm sorry Cris I know you don't want to know that but… I thought you should know."

"That doesn't sound like Natalie though."

"I'm sorry but it's true."
