I looked at Chris curiously as the water dripped off of me onto the ground below. He was staying. I needed to clear my head so I started walking. I could hear Tommy following closely behind, and I stopped suddenly to peer at Chris over my shoulder.

"You can't stay with me." I said suddenly—realizing that as I did, I was pretty much revealing what was going on between Chris and I. Tommy's eyes suddenly sparked with interest. Chris sighed.

"I wasn't planning to. I'll move to a hotel tonight." He answered softly as I just nodded mutely. My days just kept getting more and more complicated. I perused him quietly a moment before turning to walk away again. Tommy followed.

"What's going on?" He asked me suddenly as I marched toward a hiking trail at the edge of the park. I didn't even look at him as I took careful steps considering my shoes were full of water.

"We broke up." I answered simply. "And it's not because of you." I added suddenly as he took a deep breath from beside me. I know he had not been expecting that.

"I'm hoping that'll change though." A voice said from behind us, and I turned to see Chris walking to my left. Ugghhh! I wanted to scream, but I walked instead—taking off the jacket that was draped over my clothes. It wasn't helping as wet as it was. I tripped suddenly on a rock on the trail, and I dropped the linen coat into the trees next to me. Damn it!

"I've got it." Tommy and Chris said together as they both walked into the bushes. I just shook my head.

"Forget about it." I stated simply until a sign suddenly caught my attention. I had to place a hand over my mouth to keep from laughing.

"Ummm…Boys!" I cried out as they stuck their heads out of the trees. I pointed at the sign quickly as they walked out towards me. I backed away. Tommy followed the direction of my finger and groaned. The sign read.

Author's Footnote: Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't left many A/N's today, but I love you guys! Truly I do. I have the worst sinus infection today or cold—whatever it is, and I can't quit sneezing here at work. I've been through at least an entire bag of cough drops. But I had to come to work. I just had to post for you guys. And don't worry I'll be here tomorrow too. Enjoy my stories. Hugs and smiles. Angel422
