Chapter Nine - Reflection

Axel

I couldn't believe I was watching her walk away from me again. And yet again, I felt powerless to stop her.

She was hurting, badly, and it killed me to let her go, but I knew that I was the cause of her pain and that I would only make things worse by going after her.

Her use of the word "fling" kept coming back to me. It wasn't a word I used, but it was probably accurate. I had flings, but not much more. And I couldn't imagine having a fling with Kayla. It was clear that I hadn't thought this through. What had I imagined happening when I came down here tonight? I'd tell her I wanted her, we'd sleep together, and then I'd say goodbye, and we'd be… friends?

I hadn't taken Kayla's feelings into account, and how could I, when I hadn't known how she felt. Now that I knew— I shook my head, as if clearing out fog, and was surprised to see activity going on around me in the bar. I'd been totally lost in my thoughts.

Marlee came back to the table then and saw that I was alone. "I guess that didn't go too well, huh?"

"Could you please make sure she's okay?" I asked.

She nodded, and I made her promise to check on Kayla that night.
