I still love you

If you need anything, I'm here.

When I walk hand in hand with my fellow giftshop employee, its not as overwhelming or bad as I thought the Dyna-Coaster would be.

In fact its actually kinda cool, what with the glowing purple lights and such. 

"THIS IS SOOOO COOL!" Colette says, dragging me alongside her. 

"I guess." I comment. It's still downright creepy. 

"DON'T YOU LOVE IT!" Colette shouts in my face. I let go of her hand and back away. 

I just glance at her. 

I need a moment to process what I'm thinking. 

"Edgar? Are you okay?" She asks, picking up on my slight change in emotion.

"Yeah, why?" I question. 

"You were happy a moment ago, and now you seem sad. When you're sad, I'm sad." Colette says, pouting. 

I have to admit, she looks kinda adorable. 

UGH, KNOCK IT OFF!

YOU HARDLY KNOW HER! 

STOP! 

"It's just weird in here." I lie. 

"Really? I think its cool!" She comments. Wow, imagine finding the good in everything. 

I could never. 

"Well, lucky you. I'm gonna go lie down. I'm tired." I say.

"Okay.. and Edgar?" Colette asks.

"Yes?" I reply.

"If you ever need anything, I'm here."

I don't even know how to respond to that. The phrase feels familiar. Like someone has said it. Someone who cared. Cared about me.

The mere thought almost brings tears to my eyes.

I find it weird how the second Jacky walked in here she didn't even tell us where to go. She just up and left. 

This is what I'm thinking while I lie on my back on a nearby bench, sunglasses shading my eyes from the sun. 

However, there is something else I should be thinking about.

Colette. 

So I decide to have a battle between logic and emotion. 

Do I like her?

Yes.

ARGH! I DON'T, I HARDLY KNOW HER!

But you still like her. 

NO. I. DON'T!

Don't be opposed to love, Edgar. 

I AM! I'VE NEVER LIKED ANYONE, AND LIKING SOMEONE YOU JUST MET IS RIDICULOUS!

Is this because of the "situation?"

I flinch, trying to erase the past. 

Yet nothing can stop the oncoming storm.
