Chapter ten:
Karen suddenly opened her eyes; she was hot, sweaty and was out of breath. She looked around-no Lionel!
"Oh thank God!" Karen sighed with relief "It was all some stupid dream."
Even though it was all a dream that none of it actually happened, Karen still looked on the floor for his clothes and made sure that door was properly locked. When she was drying herself she caught a glimpse of her face in the mirror, she saw how scared she looked, and she saw the same little Karen in the way she was acting.
"I have got to get over this!" she said to herself "It's all in the past get over it you stupid bitch! This can't rule your life."
"She told me!" jack said to Bernie "She's told me what happened between you guys before."
"Oh," Bernie sighed hanging his head down in shame "so why are you here?"
"To make sure the past stays in the past, I wanted to hear what you had to say so I could fix things."
"Well that's nice of you isn't it!" Bernie said sarcastically
"Oh don't be like that," replied Jack
"Sorry, so…has she forgiven me?" asked a genuine Bernie
"Well shouldn't you be asking that about Lois?"
"Does she know?" Bernie was confused
"What?"
"Huh?"
"I think I'd better go, I don't think I know the whole truth here I'd rather hear it from Karen than you." Jack stood up followed by Bernie and he followed Jack to the door. Jack strolled out of the house and got a taxi. It was only when he was sitting there alone that he realized that he probably wouldn't get anything out of Karen at all. But he was still going to try!
