| this chapter takes place a week after what happened. Evan is with his father and Jen this week. |

"5 more minutes." He grumbled when her alarm rang off for the third and last time.

"It's too cold outside." She said squeezing him more and tightning her hold on him.

"Stay here in bed. Do you really need yoga?"

"Yeah I do. Haven't done it in a while and I've been too stressed with everything."

"Does yoga really calm you like that?"

"It does. People don't believe it until they try it. It creates a balance of your energies."

"Smart Jennifer Morrison."

"Stop that!"

He had been telling her that since the night they watched The Rite - where Colin was the main character. The film was about possessions of bodies and Jen seemed really into the subject.

She had told him that she had learnt about it on school, a weird history lesson about the roaring twenties. They had talked about how Freud appeared on that time with the knowledge of our subconscious.

That was something that she always had found interesting.

"I need to get up." She said before using all her force to pull away from his warming arms.

He sighed, missing her already.

She was putting on a blue cotton shirt when she remembered she had to tell him.

"I'll be back at 7. There will be shooting of the Wild Wild Horses videoclip again."

He nodded and there was a silence before he realized she was seeing Geoff again today.

"So you're seeing him today?"

"Nothing's gonna happen. We made it clear nothing was ever going to happen again between us and- I mean he's a friend of my parents. There's no way I'll never see him again. We decided to just forget it happened."

He sighed and ran a hand on his hair, trying to comb the messy hair from his sleepiness.

"Colin. Don't be like that."

"Oh so I'm the one who's supposed to not be like this. I'm the one who was cheated."

They hadn't talked about it after that night, and she thought things were okay.
She only realized now he still was hurt.

Of course he was hurt.
After what she did... He didn't leave her, for her surprise.
She couldn't imagine how he felt.

"I'm trying to be patient with you about this, Jen. I am. But Gods. I wanna fucking punch that man in the face."

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize you felt that way."

"It hurts the thought that you'll be with him when I'm somewhere else."

He couldn't trust her.
That was the point.
And understandable point.

How did he know she wouldn't just do it again?
He was sure she wouldn't.
But he was also sure she wouldn't before the time it happened.
