~ Remember this is not an original story. I do not own it :) The second part is up next:) Part Twenty (1/2) : Selena leans back against the linden tree in the school garden and closes her book with a deep sigh. She's been trying to read for the past half hour , but it's hopeless. She just can't focus. Instead of seeing the pages in front of her , she just keeps seeing her poor brother. She's afraid of what will happen the next time they talk. Will her face give her away? She knows that he wouldn't have wanted her to witness that scene. There was something so profoundly . . . well , intimate is the only word she can think of - something so intimate, both about his misery and the way that Kristen comforted him. For once it had been a relief to go to school in the morning. She'd left the house extra early just to aviod running into either of them, hoping that if she didn't have to confront Robert'sgreen - eyed face over the breakfast table, then she'd be able to forget about wh! at she saw. yeah right ! Missing breakfast had accomplished nothing beyond an empty stomach. Beacause in spite of the fact that it's a beautiful day , in spite of the fact that she has a free period with nothing else to do but sit outside and read, she simply can't stop thinking about Robert. She'd known that he was in pain, of course she'd known, but to see him like that . .. . Even now she can hardly believe it happened. Since the accident, Robert has been so contained, so reserved, that to witness ...
