She felt better and just closed her eyes.
"How about we just sit here.."
"How about we just sit here.."

He lowered himself down, pulling her down with him.
Turning her around, he got her up on his lap.
There
She curled into him.
Closing her eyes.
What if Travis found her... Alone!!!
Closing her eyes.

This was nice...
Just sitting here quietly.
Not saying anything about any...er...gangs.
Courtney let out a breath and held his hand

At one point Troy started to get pretty sleepy.
Maybe he hadn't gotten the best rest he could have in that vine/net thing last night.
"Troy? I'm sorry I made you mad.."
She whispered
She whispered
"I made you mad.. I'm sorry.."
She whispered.
She sighed.
She whispered.
She sighed.

"You didn't make me mad. Just...defensive. I mean..."
He trailed off.
Uuuuuuugh
She sighed.
She made him mad..
She made him mad..

But she deserved to know.
He...he didn't want to keep things from her.
"I know. And I'm sorry I made you mad.."

She still thought she'd made him mad...
"But you should know at least some of my background I guess. Just...maybe not that part..."
"Why not? It's not like I'll dump you over it Troy..."
She whispered
She whispered
Courtney sighed.
She laced her fingers through his.
"I promise.."
She laced her fingers through his.
"I promise.."

"I joined about three years ago" Troy began, looking down at their joined hands.
He felt weird telling her.
No one was supposed to know about the gang unless they were in it.
"Okay.."
She nodded.
Stroking his hand.
Tracing designs on it.
She nodded.
Stroking his hand.
Tracing designs on it.

Troy felt pretty tense, but somehow Courtney was helping.
"And...then I quit. Just a while ago really. I mean...this nerd took over"
He wasn't explaining this very well, was he?
"What did this gang do?"
She asked playing with his hair now

"Well...we did a lot of things. But the main thing was the hunting. Hunting...monsters"
He grinned, remembering.
Boy, they'd had so much fun!
"Oh..."
She made a face.
That was bad...?
((Haha!!))
She made a face.
That was bad...?
((Haha!!))

Troy was lost in thought for a moment.
Thinking about how much fun everything had been.
"Gosh. It was great. I...really miss hanging out with those guys sometimes"
They'd been the closest he'd ever had to actual friends.
"That's not so bad Troy.. I don't see why you couldn't tell me.."
She whispered
She whispered

Just like that.
"Uh...yeah..."
He shifted uncomfortably.
"Troy?"she asked sighing..
Gosh he looked so happy a while ago..
She was stupid sometimes..

Troy found himself staring at a spot on the ground.
He really hated feeling guilty...
She cupped his cheek.
"Troy?"
She asked concerned
"Troy?"
She asked concerned

He still didn't say anything.
Maybe she'll just drop it. And we can just sit here...not feeling guilty about anything...
"Please just tell me.."
She whispered
She whispered

"Tell you what?"
Troy's jaw clenched as he waited for an answer.
"Why you feel so.... Guilty about being in the gang.."

Alice swatted his hand away and turned her back on him, giving him a hard time " hmmmph!"

"I don't know...I mean...we just..."
How could he tell her all that had happened on those hunts?!
She'd think he was absolutely heartless!

She spun back around again " uh uh!"


He hugged her.
Gave in.
Fine. I'll...tell her
He didn't want to. But...
