chapter 15

KEEPING GOOD ON HER PROMISE, Jena didn’t join everyone for dinner, and they left her alone. Her door stayed shut for the rest of the evening. Luke barely touched his dinner and eventually excused himself to turn in early, only having pushed his food around on the plate. Meg and Rob didn’t know what had happened but clearly, something had gone on between Luke and Jena. They were both adults, so they wouldn’t get involved. Meg had decided to give Jena space for the day. The girl was changing, and it was best to let her figure things out on her own. If she didn’t come down for breakfast, she would go talk to her. With Luke turning in early and Jena upstairs, the house stayed silent for most of the night.

Jena sat at her window for most of the night, just waiting to go to Luke while trying to plan just what she would say. She looked for movement in the barn, hoping that Luke would be there. His truck was still parked off to the side, but that didn’t mean that he hadn’t taken off. The sun had barely kissed the tops of the trees, when she decided she couldn’t wait any longer. Surely, she would run into her aunt and uncle downstairs, but she needed to make things right with Luke. Tentatively, she grabbed a hoodie and threw it on over her t-shirt and shorts. Only Meg was sitting downstairs in the living room when Jena walked by, and Jena relaxed a bit. She nodded and gave her aunt a weak smile before continuing on her way. Her boots made scuffing sounds on the gravel, and she tried to silence them. The barn door slid open easily, and she quickly slipped in. She was half prepared to run into her uncle still out here, but the barn was empty, save for the horses, eating peacefully in their stalls. He wasn’t around, but neither was Luke. She crept silently to his door. It was closed. The sounds of Johnny Cash lightly played, and she raised her hand to knock on the door. Hesitating, she placed both hands lightly on the wood in front of her. He knew she would come. If he had wanted to talk to her, he would be out here waiting for her, even if it was earlier than usual. She had gone to him last night, and it was too much to hope that he would be waiting patiently a second night. Quietly, she took a step back and walked away, toward Gatsby’s stall. She fought the tears threatening to fall down her cheeks. She had really messed this up. She was realizing that Luke was the best thing to happen to her, and she had pushed him away. She had let her past get in the way of her future. By the time she reached Gatsby’s stall, she couldn’t stop the tears from falling. She collapsed onto his shoulder and let them go.
