"I have to go! Nice meeting you" you said in a rash, running out the door.
"What did you do?" Rachel asked her leader/father figure. When he got up to leave.
"I don't know. All I did was tell (her/him) my name" he said.
"Yeah, well for some reason it scared them. I could feel it" Rachel explained.
"But why?"
"How am I supposed to know. I didn't read their mind.....this time"

"Hey, where were you?" One of your best friends asked.
"Out" you snapped.
"Okay, what's wrong with you?" She pressed.
"Apparently I just meant the man I'm supposed to marry" you said fast and rushed, hardly even taking a single breath.
"Okay~. I can see how that would be a lot to take in" Caitlin spoke." So, he is real? Not just some mind game" she asked.
"No, he's real. Just met him at Jitters" you said.
"How you doing?"
"Terrible! How is this possible!? I never thought I'd get married! I never wanted to get married! All it does is cause pain! At least that's how it is with every marriage I know" you ranted.
"What about Iris and Barry?"
"They've barely spent any time together! He went to jail and then Nora hated Iris for awhile and took up Barry's time. Then she was with Iris all the time. Now..." you continued.
"Yeah, but they're stronger then ever. You shouldn't compare relationships to others. Have your own. You can't be afraid of it forever"
"Why are you so wise?"
"Because I've been in a few relationships"
