THE TRUTH OF US : Truth is. (4)

Connections.

I sat in the room.....Kept wiping my eyes. Nate blew it, I stuffed up. My stupid course!   God dam it!

Why doesn't he understand!         I'm not doing this because I want to!.....I'm doing this to gain a better understanding of a system that should never have been allowed to do it, in the first place.

God, I hated Violet!

....And, he just happens to be the Health Systems "Star" poster boy.

(...And, they got the legal rights to do so)

Aaaaahhhh!.....Growling at my self wasn't having the desired effect.

My stomach turned a little.

Once the "must attend" class is done with...(Hopefully, Sylvia won't feel the need to stretch it out.  There had been whispers, she'd make it a two day thing..)                    I honestly hoped Not!

I just knew there would be an essay, Lily could be right about that....(Crap!)

Nate was normally good with sharing details.....I'd ask, and he'd write things down. Sylvia had been talking of a ward.....Ward X.        One of my hand-outs was about the great "Ward X".    That had really set Nate off.

Him and I have to start talking.....But, what the hell to ask?           One good thing about the lectures....They were giving me questions.

I stood up (Spare room?)......Nice.      The window had a pleasant view.    Edith had picked well with the colour scheme......Soft, with good light.    I liked the blue, dark....But not too dark.

I walked up to the door.

I could hear Nate calling my name, then after a while.....Nothing.            I opened the door, quick look out......No one.

As I walked along the hallway (People could get lost in this house....mmm.....Don't want to do that!...)             I found a staircase, it was like a "back staircase"......I also found it got me to the third floor a lot quicker than the main one......Good find, could come in handy.       The main one was grand, and impressive......But, was tiring if you had to use it every five minutes!

I walked into the main room on the third floor, there were my books and folders.....And the broken one, I didn't care. I picked it up, looked at some pages......I have to read this......(shit!).......I found a chair.....Better start.

Nate.....I would find later, and I would talk to him.
He wouldn't listen, but I'd make him!     Maybe I'll show him the papers, notes.....And we can "try" to work out what he dosen't want me to know.

"....Nate, stop staring at the staircase.    She's okay, probably taking a shower?   Reading?       Perhaps, she's downstairs watching TV.   Have you checked the living room?...."         Gus always appeared self confident, seemed to know things.

"....no...."           Nate was sitting at the table, with his head resting on his arms.

Gus told him to wait, let her think.....(I'd be down soon, we could talk.        Nate could say he was the biggest numb-skull alive.....And, he dose understand, it's my course, not anything evil.....Like Violet!)

Nate watched the staircase.

Any minute......Now!
