I don't own Woody or Jordan however I own the other two characters.

I'm not sure how long I sat there staring but suddenly the brown-haired woman was passing by me, tears still running down her face. Then Woody was behind her. He passed no look in my direction as he followed the brown. I watched them go, not moving from where I was; not speaking; and not being noticed.
It may have been minutes or hours later when Woody passed by me again. One glance at his face revealed a deep hurt that I had seen only once before. The last time I saw that face I had been returning the ring he had bought me.
I took a deep breath as I realised, at that moment, what I needed to do. Slowly I rose to shaky legs and after another breath I headed in the direction that I'd last seen the so-far nameless brown-haired beauty go.
It wasn't long before I found her and a blonde leaning against a big tree. Before I had time to think about what I was doing, I walked up to the two.
Ignoring the looks I received, I introduced myself to the pair and then directed the rest of my words at the brown (who I now knew as Ruby). I didn't tell her about our past, I didn't tell her about all we'd been through, and I didn't tell her my true feelings for Woody. What I did tell her was that I had walked up to him and initiated the kiss. I explained to Ruby that Woody had no idea that it was even going to happen. I also told Ruby that Woody's feelings were for her and not me.
Ruby seemed as though she wasn't sure whether to believe me but then her friend (Bek) spoke up and asked me the one question I'd been subconsciously dreading. She asked, "And Woody, did he kiss you back?"
There was a pause as both eyes looked to mine and I thought about the question. Suddenly I lost everything; my knees went shaky, my voice disappeared; and a numbness came over me.
"No…" I whispered in response to Bek's question, my head lowering towards the ground. From that moment I seemed to move almost as though someone else was controlling me; I moved automatically. I knew what I had to do now and that made the numbness appear worse.
It took a few minutes for my information to sink in with Ruby before I heard her make the comment "but I don't know where he would be."
Before I had time to think about it, I had quietly answered "I do". Bek was the only one who heard me and the look of sadness she gave me made up my mind. I was not someone who was going to be pitied by anyone for any reason at all.
Clearing my throat, I turned to Ruby and said "follow me", before heading to where I knew Woody would be. I never once glanced over my shoulder to see whether the women were following me but I knew they would be.
