***Ryan's POV***
After I pick up our mess, I might go for a run. Burn off some steam. After all, Kate is alot to handle. I don't even know why she asks me why I stay. I love her. Even though she is broken, but I say she's bent. And yes, I was quoting one of her favorite songs. Sometimes it hurts when she has the nightmares. She starts to sob and wakes up screaming. But at least she's not alone. So I just sot by her and make sure she's okay. I know that she's a lot of trouble, but I love her and I would never want to see her depressed. We have seen a doctor and she lies. But I call her put on those lies. But she is suck a great liar that he trusts her. I wish she would just get help.
***Back to Katie***
I don't quite understand why, but I'm in love. But he put me together when I needed it most. I love him but I'm so scared. My dreams are coming back but I can't tell Ryan.
"Hey Ryan, can I take that jog with you?" He doesn't know what to say. "Kate, I actually jog alone for a reason." My face is broken. "What? What do you mean alone? What does that mean?" My breathing increases and so does my heartbeat. Panic again. No. I don't want to worry him. Katie, you need to stop. Tears fall down my face.
Ryan wraps his arm around me. He doesn't know how hard this is. How hard it is to live. Maybe one day, I'll be okay.
