The Painful Truth

Where Do We Stand?

Chapter 2

I brought my dirty dishes in the kitchen. Roc was standing at the sink, his hands in the water. He looks up when I get closer.

"Oh, you're done? I could have gotten that for you."

"It's cool. Were you washing the dishes?"

"Well.. I was but then... I found the soap..."

"...and?"

"'I started playing in it."

I giggle. He smiles at me.

"I haven't heard you're laugh in awhile. Are you feeling better?"

I look down. It was all still there; everything. I couldn't get it out my head.

"A little."

"Oh..."

We lapsed into silence. I tried to look everywhere else besides him. He still has that crush on me. Now where do we stand?

"Hey, maybe we can go down to gym. That should get it out of your head."

"Sure, hopefully."

"Great. Get dressed in your best workout gear."

"Uggghhhh whyyyyy??"

"I've officially nominated myself to be your new trainer."

"No! I'll be road kill when we're done!"

"Exactly."

"Rawr!!"

He laughs as I turn around and walk up the stairs.
