"Jack please, can you talk to me" I pushed open the door, exiting the restaurant. "There's nothing to talk about" he opened the car door for me. I sighed and got in.
"I just don't think there's any point in fighting this if they don't even know where he is" I admitted. I mean I was right.
It's not because I was scared of losing or scared of Samuel.
But because it was just useless.
"You aren't settling or dropping the case Cristina, I'm not letting you" He shrugged his shoulders.
I sat back in my seat and just stared out the window. Maybe he was doing this to protect me but it's such a waste of time.
"Look, if they don't fine him in the next two months, I'm canceling the trial and telling them to just drop it" I turned over to him.
"Fine" he agreed.
"Fine" I nodded my head. Well this breakfast was nice. Until this kind of ruined it. We arrived home and I immediately headed for the bathroom. I didn't feel sick though. I just had to actually use the bathroom.
I locked the door on my way up and heard Jack follow me. I finished up and washed my hands. I looked at myself in the mirror and my lips started to shudder.
"Cristina?" Jack rattled the door knob.
I sniffled and wiped my eyes as tears began to fall from them.
I cleared my throat to make it known I wasn't crying. "Cristina, open the door" he knocked on it. I unlocked it and made sure you couldn't tell I was crying. "Hi, sorry I had to pee really bad" I chuckled. I moved past him and grabbed my coat. "Ready to go?" I smiled at him.
He grabbed my hand and we drove down to the courtroom to get all this shit settled.
I'm just going to tell them that if we can wait a month or two and then we can talk about canceling the trial if he's not found.

"Okay then thats that, I'll catch you later" Jack waved.
He grabbed my waist and we headed towards the front doors. He opened it for me, allowing me to go first and wait at the car.
"Hey see, everything's going to be alright" Jack cheered.
I smiled quickly, then it turned back into the a frown. Not so much a frown as it was just a blank look. We rushed home and I headed straight for my room. I felt hot.
I also felt nauseous and my stomach began to hurt. I thought it was just because I drank last night. I don't think that's the reason.
I ran up to my mirror by my dresser and looked at myself. I looked green. Jack came in and smiled at me. He stopped and noticed I looked freaked out. "Hey, what's wrong?" He comforted me. "Did uhm-" I panted. I felt like I couldn't breath.
"Did we have sex?" I stammered while holding back my tears. He laughed and asked me what.
"You're joking right? You sound like a child" He chuckled. I groaned and got up. I went over to the bed and took a deep breath.
"Listen I don't know if you think this a big fucking joke but it's not" I got up and yelled in his face. "I- I don't know if I'm ready, if WE'RE ready Jack" I screamed. I sat on the bed and he wrapped his arm around me.
"Even if you are, I'm here for you. Every step of the way you know I'm going to be here. And if you don't know that then.." he stopped. I looked at him with my eyes full of tears.
"Then Im telling you now, so you know" He snickered. He grabbed my hands and kissed my forehead. I smiled and tears fell off my cheek onto our hands.
"I love you Cristina, and I know I say this almost 100 times a day but I say it so you know I mean it" He hummed.
I looked at him and bit my lip.
"Trust me , i know exactly how much you love me" I smirked.
