Jude stayed with me in the school parking lot after Christian drove off. We just sat on the swings in the back, not speaking for the longest time. Finally, when he spoke, his voice was edged.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ703dn4qlXk

I shifted slightly and shook my head. "This is the first time he's ever pushed me away. I just want to be there for him."291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZgMeYG7aJ

The wind had picked up, rushing around us, feeling cool against my skin. The silence returned, then, and all I could hear now was the chirping of a bird and the noises of a nearby squirrel.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJzTStAtOX

"You can't save people, Kendall," Jude said softly. "Believe me, I've tried."291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo4x83QbRM

I frowned as I watched him start to swing, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the chain tighter. When I thought he was high enough to jump off, he came back down and dug his feet into the dirt to stop himself. Then he moved his hair from his eyes and turned toward me.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuHIBnq2B8

Part of me knew I shouldn't have answered, that I should have changed the subject to anything else, but I was appreciating the comfort he was giving me.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFniUxKHXJS

Sitting in a coffee shop with someone who was not my boyfriend (I use the term loosely at this moment), wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm not sure what I expected, actually. I guess I thought it would be awkward and I'd want to leave. I didn't. Leaving would require driving and passing Christian's house, something I didn't want to do right now.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj3C9xRjk0

"So," Jude said, stirring his coffee with his finger, "what's your problem?"291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bjP2tk02o

"Your problem," he said, enunciating the word problem. "Your secret. Why you go to see Dallas Alder after school almost every day."291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlFAyN2F1E

I swallowed a mouthful of coffee at the wrong time, and when I heard his last words, I started to cough. When I stopped, my eyes widened in his direction.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphuhbEBAXI

"No," Jude said, shaking his head. He handed me a napkin. "I've seen you there because I'm a patient, too." 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdo24C7kUW
