Courtney walked into Kelly's and scanned the room, but Jason wasn't there yet. She sat down at a table and ordered a cup of coffee to drink while she waited.
An hour and two cups of coffee later Jason still hadn't arrived and Courtney was beginning to get worried about him. "I bet nothing's wrong." She told herself " It's probably just work stuff again or maybe he just...forgot." She had been trying to make herself feel better but suddenly had tears in her eyes. The thought had just popped into her head with out her even knowing she was thinking it. He must have forgotten. Her cell phone ringing jolted her from her worried daze and she rushed to answer it, because she knew who had to be on the other end.
"Jason?!"
"Hey sorry I didn't get to call sooner, but things got tied up and I won't be able to make it to lunch."
At least he didn't forget she thought to herself as he told her what she already knew.
"So I guess I'll just see you tonight then," She said sadly
"Yah"
"I love you"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Courtney's heart hurt. Not because of their broken date, but because of something much simpler than that. Jason hadn't said, "I love you" back. He'd never forgotten that before. She understood it was just a simple mistake, but she still felt incredibly uneasy. It was probably just all the built up emotions and stress from the past few days. She picked up her purse and left on her way to see the one person who could even begin to understand what she was feeling. She only hoped Carly was feeling well enough to talk about her silly problems.
