I had been avoiding Haven for the past couple days. It was coward like, I know, no need to tell me. But I just simply didn't know what to do with myself anymore. Big feelings and emotions were never something I knew how to manage perfectly and the overwhelming sensation I felt whenever I was around her was simply something that I couldn't take.

So as the respectable man I am, I avoided my problems.

I had gone out a lot just so I didn't have to sit with my thoughts. I hadn't seen or heard from her for what felt like an eternity and it had started to take a toll on me. I really really had considered asking Johnny what he would think if one of his friends tried to get with Haven. I even had the ruse and bait all planned out. I would get him alone, probably in his room while we played video games, and then would casually bring up the rugby team. I would build up the conversation and then ease him into the topic. I would mention with a laugh that a couple of the lads on the team have been showing more interest in his baby sister than normal. Johnny was not stupid, he knew the way people felt about his sister so it was perfect. I would ask as his best friend, obviously not as the guy trying to get with her.

The idea was quickly scratched away when I remembered exactly what had happened last term when Cormac Ryan had boasted to his brain-dead friends about taking her out and teaching her things. Johnny overheard because he hears all and quite literally, smashed him against the lockers.

My thoughts were everywhere all at once. Distractions came from working my body until my limbs felt numb with the older brother of the woman that had me eating from her hand like a dog. I'd always made fun of Johnny when he talked about how lightweight he felt when he was around Shannon but now I'm almost sure I get him.

I was obsessed, head over heels, plummeting to the ground falling. Scratch that, past tense, fell. I plummeted to the ground and fell for her. I didn't know what to do with myself so I needed to be away from her.

I made the executive decision I was going to stay far far away from her, as far as possible. At least until I could get a grip of myself.
