Yes, this is a rather short chapter, but it kinda acts as a filler, and believe me even though it's short, it packs quite a wallop! Anyways, please enjoy!
Theresa sat, hunched over, thankful that the furious wind was masking her sobbing. Yet, she still hoped that Jay could hear her. She needed him to. She wanted him to hear her frustration, her anger, her disappointment, her pain. She wanted him to squirm with discomfort, realize what he had done and come and save her. No matter how angry she was at him, she knew that Jay was the only one that could truly comfort her. Hearing the door to the roof open behind her, Theresa sat up and wiped her face.
" Jay?" She questioned as she turned around. The hopeful expression on her face fading as she realized who it was.
" No, sorry, it's just Archie" the thoughtful warrior replied, " I can go if you want me to, I just thought that-"
" No, stay, please?" Theresa pleaded. At this point even Archie was better than nobody.
" Sure" He said as he settled down next to the hurt Theresa, surprised at how much compassion he was feeling towards her. Usually all they ever did was fight.
" I just don't get it. How could he do that to me? Do that to us?" Theresa questioned, eyes brimming with tears once more. Archie awkwardly placed his arms around her shaking shoulders. For once, she wasn't being a drama queen. To his surprise, Theresa didn't pull away. She simply buried her face into his sweatshirt and wept.
" Because they don't know just how good they've got it", Archie replied, pulling Theresa closer, " Sometimes, you don't even realize what's right in front of your eyes". Feeling Theresa pull away, he looked down. Her face was staring up at his, the light reflecting the prisms that cascaded down her face. Slowly, Theresa reached up her hand. Suddenly, Odie burst through the door.
" Hey guys I-" he stopped himself, " Oh sorry, was I interrupting something?" Odie questioned, eyebrows raised.
" No we were just …talking" Theresa explained as she let go of Archie and pushed him away.
" Good, cause I have a solution to your little problem" he replied, a smug smile crossing his dark face.
" Really?" Theresa and Archie exclaimed in unison, jumping to their feet.
" Yah, I know how to get Jay and Atlanta back to normal"
" Well then let's hear it my brainy little friend" Archie replied.
" Okay, but before I tell you, you should probably know…" Odie trailed off.
" Know what?" The curious warrior questioned.
" Well there's a little catch, but judging by what I saw when I came up here I don't think it will be too difficult…" Odie trailed off again.
" Just what are you implying?" Archie questioned the anger rising within him.
" I'll tell you on the way. Hey Theresa the field hockey banquet is tonight right?"
" Yah, unfortunately, why?"
"No reason…"
Sooo...what did ya think? What is Odie up to? Please comment, I love to read them!
