Best Friends:
Chapter Three
Kel awoke feeling strangely refreshed. However, her good mood quickly disappeared as the memories of the previous night's argument returned.
With a sigh, she got up and quickly dressed, to tired to even attempt her pattern dances. With a grimace over her own laziness, Kel made her way down to the mess hall, deep in thought.
What had happened last night? She remembered the fight and him leaving. But after she collapsed on the floor, it was all blank. What had happened? She had thought she had fallen asleep. But then, why had she woken up in her bed? There was something there, at the edge of her mind, taunting her. Yet she had no clue what it was.With a sigh, she pushed open the doors to the mess, collected her tray, and sat down at the usual table. Around her, the other knights talked and laughed merrily, but she didn't join in on their conversations. Instead, she sat, picking at her food, eyes cast down.
Finally, Merric seemed to notice her state. In a concerned voice, he questioned, "Kel, what's wrong? Are you sick?"
She smiled back at him. Even to her, it seemed false. "No, Merric. Nothing is wrong."
"No, Neal. Nothing is wrong."
She remembered saying the exact same thing to Neal, the day before. The exact same lie. How could she live like this, lying, hiding her thoughts and feelings? How could she lie to herself, tell herself that she didn't love him? How could she hide all of her pain? How could she watch him with another woman?
She couldn't.
Okay, another short chapter. Just deal with it. And the next chappie is gonna be in Neal's POV. Yay! So go read it!
