~~Devon's point of view~~

It's been two weeks since we moved into the new house; every night Charity comes to my room, I don't mind it. I can admit it's getting harder and harder. I want to be with her so much.

River: "You have to tell her, Devon."

Devon: "What are you talking about?"

River: "Everyone in the house knows that you have feelings for Charity. Man up and tell her."

Devon: "She made it clear that she didn't want a man. I don't want to ruin what we have."

Charity: "Ruin, what who has?"

Devon: "Nothing Princess."

River stares Daggers at me.

I turn and go to my room. 

~~Charity's point of view ~~

Charity: "What's his problem?"

River won't lie to me.

River: "He's just got stuff he needs to deal with."

Charity: "Oh."

He didn't lie, but he didn't tell me either. I wonder if I should sleep in my own room.

Charity: "How's Adley sleeping?"

River: "She's up every two hours. I've been trying to get up with her. Natalie is worn out."

Charity: "I don't mind helping."

River: "Honestly, Reeva has been a huge help. She hears her sometimes at night and gets up with her before we do."

Charity: "That's great. Will you please tell me what's going on with Devon?"

River: "It's really not my place."

Natalie: "What's going on?"

Natalie asks when she comes in.

Charity: "Oh, Devon."

Natalie: "Is he ok?"

Devon: "I'm fine."

Devon says as he grabs his keys and walks out.

Natalie: "He's obviously not ok."

Charity: "No, Natalie, he's not. I'll be back."

I waddle my way outside. I get out there too late; he's already gone.

I go back in.

Damien: "Are you ok?"

Charity: "I'm fine."

I go to my room and call Devon; He sends it to voicemail; a knock comes on my door.

Charity: "Come in."

Reeva: "Hey."

Charity: "Hey, Reeva."

Reeva: "May I sit?"

Charity: "Sure."

Reeva: "Tell me, what's going on?"
