Thinking that he was stable enough to stand on his own two feet again Reese carefully made her grip on him a little less tight. Right then and then Christian’s legs decided to gave out again. Reese yelped from surprise when she got pulled down with him but moaned softly when she fell on her side, Christian laying on top of her arm.
He wasn’t going to make this easy on her was he? Reese had a really hard time accepting how she felt about him and being able to say it out loud as well. It wasn’t that she was ashamed of the way she felt, something like that she would never be, but it didn’t make it any less scary. “Yes I’m in love with you.” With a soft sight she let her head rest back on the ground. Not feeling like getting up right now. Although that wasn’t even possible if she really wanted to with Chris laying on her arm.

If Christian was confused before, then there was no comparing how confused he was now. First she was rejecting him and now she was in love with him. He wished she would just make up her mind, there were no going back for after everything he had said. He hated himself for it, for ruining their friendship. He rolled off of her and onto his stomach, his face turned to the side away from her. But at least he was beginning to breathe properly again.

Silence. That was all she got from him after she had just blurted out that she was in love with him. Reese wasn’t sure what words would leave his lips but she had expected at least something. He said he loved her and she answered that she was in love with him. That she wanted him. And yet there was no response. If there was one thing Reese hated it would be playing games.
“If you truly wanted my wish to come true you have a really crappy way of showing it.” she said to break the silence with a voice that was hoarse from emotion. Pushing herself up to a sitting position, now that her arm was free again, she looked aside to Chris. Who had turned his face away from her. Fine. He obviously wanted to turn away from her now he knew how they felt about each other.
Reese didn’t understand why, and it hurt. But she couldn’t play this game with him. “Fine. If you don’t want me than just say it. Don’t tell me you love me and then be a total ass when I tell you how I feel. I really don’t have to take this from you.“ This had been very personal for her but apparently Chris wasn’t sure what he wanted. Or whatever the hell was going on.

Reese was being a right b!itch wasn't she? It wasn't like he was choosing to act this way, it just sort of happened. He had no control over his panic attacks, though Adia had them a lot worse than he did. At one point she couldn't even go a week without having one, he maybe once every couple of months.
He rolled back over onto his back, his young face drained from any and all color. He was making himself literally sick with this mess. Her harsh voice doing nothing to help him feel any better about this. What did she want him to do? He would have went to her if there hadn't been the fact that she had called him a total ass for expressing his feelings. All he wanted to do right now was go run and hide in his dorm, alone.
"Take what? I haven't done anything.." He stated truthfully.

Reese wasn’t sure whether she should start crying again, get even more angry, walk away or kiss him to make him shut up. All the options were open but none seemed all that attractive right now. “That’s the whole point!” This was getting just too frustrating. “You tell me you love me, I tell you I’m in love with you. Then you turn your face away from me and ignore everything that just got said.” She couldn’t believe this, really she couldn’t.

Christian shook his head disappointedly. Reese still didn't understand quite what he was going through. He was just a boy who had never had any experience in being love although he wanted to. He didn't know what he was supposed to do or what he was supposed to say. He rubbed at his temples, his head still spinning. "I do love you Reese.." He replied almost inaudibly. "But I guess I should go. No need to stick here and frustrate you any more than what I've already have. I'll see you tomorrow..Brooke and Nate have a date.." He pushed himself up onto his feet, his legs were still weak but he thought he could manage to make it to the castle on his own.

Reese let her head hang a little when tears sprung her eyes once more. So he loved her but he obviously didn’t want her. She had tried, she had told him how she felt, even though doing it scared her to death, and still he was going to walk away. Maybe she had been a fool to think someone might want her again. What had she been thinking? She wasn’t meant to have love and this was just even more proof after Jake’s death. “…and I guess I’m just a little girl with a crush.”
“Yeah, whatever.” Right now their children having a play date was something she really could care less about. Following his example she raised herself to her feet and headed towards a pile of rocks which laid at the edge of the lake.
