Will and Karen were still sitting, talking on the bed. Will was tracing circles on Karen's thigh as they sat, and it was driving her mad. She loved it, but it wasn't going anywhere. Every time Will got closer to the hem of her nightgown, that was well up her leg, close to her panty line, she would think of Grace and wish that she would magically appear. But she knew that Grace didn't have those same feelings for her so it would never happen.
"Kare, are you paying attention?" Will had stopped circling and turned to face Karen.
"Of course, Will." Karen looked at him and smiled.
"So anyway I go into the bathroom and this really cute guy is standing there and he turns around and says, 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours.' How stupid does he think I am? Why are people so mean to the gays? I hate it." Will shook his head, angered.
"I know it." Karen agreed.
Just then the door flew open and Karen turned her head to see who it was. Her heart stopped and her breath caught. She felt her stomach start flipping and her whole body was aching.
"Gracie!" Will called out and then noticed the red heads tear stained face. "What's wrong, sweetie?" He got up and went to her. Karen couldn't move.
"Jack...doesn't...Jack!" She cried out falling into Will's arms.
"Jack doesn't what?" Will asked, holding Grace to him.
"He doesn't want to be with me." She cried out.
Will had already gone through this once and it broke his heart to see it done to her again. If she could only find someone who really loved her and would be there for her. She needed that stability, especially right now.
"Shh," Will just held on to her, letting her cry until she was to weak to even stand and her knees started to give out.
Karen watched, not knowing how she fit into this little scene.
Will quickly helped Grace to the bed and laid her down next to Karen, who scooted over to provide more room. Will got in on the other side of Grace and she turned to him, wrapping her arms around him and crying into his shirt front. She didn't want to face Karen, partially because she was embarrassed, crying like this in front of her. Will just let her hold on, and he looked up to see Karen watching the two of them.
She took a deep breath and rolled over, not facing them. She couldn't think about Grace right now, not when she was hurting, and she wanted to be in Will's position, but Grace wasn't letting her.
