Well, I couldn't wait for a couple of days. The lack of sleep was taking its toll on me. So, I decided to tell Josef how I felt the next day. I kept repeating the words in my head, as I walk to the office. I've never done this before. Well, actually I did it once but it didn't turn out that well .The guy I fell in love with, and later declared my love for, was a jerk. Maybe that's why I'm so scared to tell him this; afraid it might happen again. I know Josef is different; don't ask me how, but I just feel it.

I hear giggles and talking when I walk into the office. I guess he's with his freshies. Any other time, I wouldn't interrupt; I would wait until they were out of the picture. Right now, waiting is not my number one priority. I open the door and stop. As I thought, Josef is not alone. There's a woman sitting in a chair next to him. He's holding her hand and she's smiling. I recognize her immediately, as my heart breaks.

"Oh Katrina, I'm so glad you're here," Josef says, cheerfully. "There's someone I want you to meet."

"I know who she is," I whisper, walking toward her. "Sarah..."

I have the worst luck ever.

She tells all sorts of stories. How she met Charles a.k.a. Josef. How they fell in love. The girls on the house pay close attention to her, fascinated. I feel like I'm gonna get sick at any moment. She's prettier than I thought she'd be. She looks so young and…alive. No wonder why Josef's in love with her.

Candy and Ginger stare at me with pity on her faces. Yeah,I forgot they knew how I felt. They don't seem as fascinated with Sarah's stories as the rest of the girls. Sure, she's kinda of cocky, and sure she talks a lot about how much she loves Josef; enough to make you sick. But she was away for too long; she missed her old self.

I move away from the group, unnoticed. Feeling as if all the air had been sucked from the room, I made my way out of Josef's office. I hear footsteps behind me and I recognize his scent.

"Are you feeling alright?" he asks. I nod, still with my back to him. He touches my arm and I feel shivers down my spine.

"I have a headache," I lie. He seems satisfied with my answer.

"This is amazing, isn't it?" He sounds so happy; so incredibly happy.

"Yeah, it is," I say.

"I don't know how it happened. She just woke up last night."

"I'm happy for you, Josef." I snap, a little too bitter at him. He frowns. "I really am."

"Well, you don't sound like it."

"I don't know what else you want me to say."

She screams for his name and he runs to see her. I feel alone and empty. His lack of attention is killing me. Not having him around kills me. I curse her; I silently curse her for waking up, for ruining everything I could have with him. I let the tears, full of anger, run freely down my cheeks as my heart breaks once more.

"Sarah is awake," I say and she hugs me. I cry like a little girl on her shoulder.

"I know. Josef called." Beth says softly, caressing my back. "I'm so sorry."

"What am I gonna do now, Beth?" I sob, uncontrollably. "Now that she's back, I don't have a chance. I'll never have-"

"I wish I could help you, I really do."

All I wonder is why is this happening to me. Why did I have to fall in love with him?

"I have to go. I have to get out of this town," I say, desperately.

"You can't just go," Beth assures me.

"I can't stay here, Beth. I can't just forget about what I feel and pretend to be happy for him."

"I know you can't, but running away is not the best idea either."

"Then what should I do?"

"Stay and think about it for a few days. Maybe something will change."

I don't know why I believe her. Why I decide to stay and not run away is a mystery. Guess I'll take my time to find out. Maybe Beth is right and something will change.
