Chapter Nine
Love Stinks
Kodi was in a bad mood. He knew if he didn't break up with Dusty his father would, he didn't want to look like that in front of Dusty. He walked slowly to her house, thinking on what he was going to say, "Dusty I can't be with, no thatb sounds lame." He thought to himself. As he walked up the porch, he then realized that this was going to ruin everything, his relationship with her; his job. Then he realized that he would probably never show his face around her except the sled. Before he could bark, she came out and smiled at him, "Hey Kodi," she said nuzzling him
"Hi Dusty." Kodi said with a sad face
"Why the long face?" Dusty said with a cheerful grin
"Like you and I don't already have one." Kodi said trying not to look upset
"You know what I mean, now what is wrong?" Dusty giggled
"My parents saw us last night and they don't think I should be with you," Kodi said looking like he was tearing up
"What do you mean?" Dusty said backing off
"I'm mean, I can't be with you." Kodi said. Dusty now looked like tearing, she tried to speak collapsed. She ran, not inside but to the mill. Where she ran he could see wet spots, he realized that she didn't just run but she collapsed into tears. He hung his head and slowly walked to his house.
