Chapter 16: Jocelyn

It is over with Carter. No matter how much it hurts, what we had is lost. I could tell as we sat in the garage. I knew for sure as we finished driving to the compound later that things will never be the same.

No, it isn't over.

Yes. Yes it is.

We drove home that evening without any incident. Caitlyn's fingers began healing without infection, and David seemed alright despite his shoulder. Carter was initially worried he may develop a fever or worse. Neither of them seem worried, but it still looked awful.

The day after we returned, I moved out of Carter's house and found a room in one of the nearby townhouses with some others. It wasn't out of spite; I needed some distance for a while. I really didn't have much to take with me. David said he had a spare room, but Paige told him no for me. She tries her best to be kind to me. I am beginning to like her. Paige and Carter are together a lot, and they look happy, although I can tell Carter still feels uneasy. He feels bad about me. It will take some time, but I will get over it. It was a silly romance anyway. Hell, I was still a teenager then. Caitlyn stays with them in another room in their house. The one he has had ready for years. She spends most of the time sleeping in her new bed and keeps to herself. It seems like she hasn't slept in a long time. A few times, I saw her outside trying to shoot into an empty can. She is getting close.

The time I spend with her is completely different than before. Carter told me yesterday that it seems like we found Sara and not Caitlyn. He is absolutely right. She acts like her sister and is much more emotional. Whatever that man did to her has changed her. It brought down her walls.

Caitlyn is safe with them so I busy myself around the town. A few men were finally able to bring a few of the horses from the Mill down here. They were hoping to utilize them in the fields in place of the tractor. It was nice to see them again. At the farm, one of my responsibilities was to take care of the pair. I especially grew fond of Angel. She cooperated for me and no one else. A few times, I have been able to go into a nearby high school football field and ride Angel around. They foolishly didn't grab the saddle, but I managed bare back. My thighs were sore the first day, but quickly toughened up to the ride.

Several times I have thought about just jumping the fence and leaving all of this behind me. There didn't seem to be much left for me here anymore. Despite my break down in the garage, I've really started to wonder if I need anyone else. I managed so long alone anyway. Maybe I could find a home somewhere else - anywhere Angel could take me.
