This just kind of came to me the other day. If this sounds at all like anyone else's story I am very sorry. That just means that I have read your story so many times I have it memorized.
Chapter 3
May 16 2000
The last two months have been relatively calm at least as far as our relationship is concerned. We are on our way to Rosslyn for a town hall meeting.
May 20 2000
The last three days have been hell. When the shots started I tried to get to Leo, but Sam threw me down to the ground. I keep having dreams about what would have happened if he had not been there.
I was so scared especially when I could not find Leo, but Sam told me that he was put into a car. When Toby found Josh my heart stopped, Josh has been a great friend to me. Once we got to the hospital, I got to see Leo my whole world crumbled as he held me while I cried.
Josh is out of surgery now and Leo and the president just came out from seeing him. Leo told me that Josh's only words were "what's next?" That made me smile.
All day I have been having flashbacks to when Toby came to get me. Leo told me he was thinking of when he went to get Josh to come to Nashua. I know he is blaming himself and I am trying to get him to stop. Now that he has seen Josh, we are going to go home and try to get some sleep.
June 2000
Since Rosslyn I have been having some nightmares, where one of us gets shot. I wake up screaming, the only thing that calms me down is talking to Leo. I have decided that he is going to move in with me and I am going to keep him close to me for as long as I can.
July 2000
Finally, I talked Leo into moving into my apartment with me. He is the only one who could keep the nightmares away. As long as he is there when I wake up the nightmares don't scare me as much as when he is not there to hold me.
August 2000
Josh is driving me insane; sure I am teasing him a bit by switching around psychics and physicists, but he really needs to stop. I mean nobody's going to really care, but I'll mention it anyway.
Ok so I just got back from the press room and there is a very angry message from Josh waiting for me on my voicemail. I guess I'm going to have to call him and apologize for what happened. I got him a pair of pajamas to make up for it, but I got them a bit to big.
September 2000
Leo figured that we needed a break from all the insanity here, so we are going on away for the weekend. I am not quite sure where we are going because he won't tell me. I have a feeling this weekend is more then just some time for us to relax.
Oh man, the weekend started off great he took me to a little bed and breakfast right outside of D.C. It was such a beautiful room. We had a little time before we had to go down for dinner. We made love in the late afternoon sun that was coming threw the window.
Dinner was amazing until the waiter came over and told Leo there was a phone call for him. I knew it was bad when I found out who he was talking to. We are on our way back to D.C. now. Well at least we got to spend a few hours alone.
