Chapter number 37. Giving into fate

Cindy paced along the footpath throught the crowds, her mind was in so many places.

Ian? She'd never of picked that as his name, then again up until then she didn't really know what she'd pick to be his name. And now he was no longer going to be a part of her life, did she really want that? No she didn't.

All her hard work still hadn't gotten her what she wanted. Originally she wanted to make sure that Cam would be there for her and Crystal, to support them both, that's why she started all this, by getting Trent to threated Crystal's welbeing and make Cam think that he'd actually do something if he didn't do what he wanted, and it had worked, but now she still wanted more.

Ian had something so enchanting about him, he had a way of drawing her in and making her want more; and she certainly wanted more. But she couldn't, she knew this is what she'd chosen the day she hired Ian, she had to stick to her plans, she would move to France and her, Cam and Crystal would all be happy, it had to be that simple right?

In what seemed like worlds away, Martha stumbled along the far end of the beach, nothing was on her mind, and she didn't seem to be going anywhere in particular. She'd been in this same state of mind the whole morning, it was peaceful, she didn't say anything, she didn't think anything, her mind was clear, and it was a nice change.

Breaking this state of mind her body colided with someone, she crashed to the ground, feeling trapped by... Jack?

She recognised him straght away, he was breathing heavily, he'd obviously been on his morning run. "Sorry" he appologised, pulling himself up on his elbows so that his weight was no longer on her, he just hovered above her.

Martha didn't say anything, she just nodded as their eyes locked.

It had been so long since they'd been like this, both knew they should get up and walk away, but they didn't.

Jack smiled slightly, studying her calm face. For some reason he felt the need to touch her, he missed her so badly, so without thinking, he kissed her.

Walking along Sam sighed as she fiddled with her car keys and attempted to unlock the car, she'd just finished seeing patients for the morning and she was definitely looking forward to getting home and relaxing.

She could hear footsteps from behind her, they were creeping lightly, then turning around she came face to face with a body dressed from head to toe. "Don't hurt me please" Sam pleaded, her back right up against her car.

The guy ignored her cries, grabbing her he brought her to the ground and attempted to cover her mouth before she could scream.

Next time:

-Will Sam be saved?

-Jack and Martha, on or off?
