I take Camilla by her arm and walk her inside the restaurant, I can feel her perspiration and her accelerated heartbeat. I guide her to the same chair she sat before Sadie rushed out. I sit next to her, turning my body to face her, caress her hair with one hand and place my other hand on her thigh: "Don't worry baby, you know how teenager can be at times, you'll find a moment to talk to her and if you need me to go with you, count on it." I caress her thigh and lean to give her a kiss.

After giving her a soft kiss on her lips and softly squeezing her thigh in support, I look at her eyes...

 
They were shining with her own tears.

After I realized my sister was not going to stop running until she found a quiet spot outside to be alone I slowed my pace. I was already outside by this time with Jarrod and Sadie's girlfriend closely behind. I then abruptly stopped to catch my breath.

When Jarrod finally caught up to me he took my arm and led me back into the restaurant without a word. Feeling defeated I followed. We went and sat back where we were before we all rushed out.

I guess Jarrod could see the worry in my face and he began caressing my hair with one of his hands while placing his other on my thigh. I guess he was hoping that would calm me. When I didn't say anything or move Jarrod gave me some encouraging words to calm me. He told me not to worry about my sister and that she'll be back when she was ready so we could talk. He also said he'd be right there to go with me when we talked if I needed him. He then leaned in and softly kissed my lips.

When we pulled away from another breathtaking kiss he began looking me in the eyes. (Usually this takes my breath away) this time I hoped he couldn't tell they were shining again with tears. He was being wonderful as always. Its just that I didn't want him to think these tears had anything to do with him. I was just sad and worried for my sister. Sometimes being an empath sucks.

As soon as Jarrrod noticed my eyes filling with tears he started caressing my cheek with the back of his fingers. He told me it was ok if I wanted to cry and he'd take care of me tenderly as always. I don't know why I was fighting the urge to cry. He's seen me cry before and he's a wonderful comforter.

I could barely speak for fear of my impending tears finally spilling over. I just sat there frozen. He again told me it was ok if I cried in front of him and he would take care of me.

After a min I took a deep breath and finally spoke "I love the way you take care of my tears. You are one of the only people to ever see my cry and THE ONLY person to ever have wiped my tears. I love you and trust you with my life. Its just that I don't want you to get upset seeing my tears as they have nothing to do with you." I then blinked sending one thick, hot tear cascading down the middle if my left cheek. A few seconds later a thick, hot tear escaped my right eye and made it's way down the middle of my right cheek.

Immediately started blushing when she saw him.

As soon as my tears fell I didn't even have time to think before I felt Jarrod kiss a tear from my left cheek and felt his thumb tracing another from my right cheek. That just made my tears flow quicker despite myself.

It was almost the perfect moment, I didn't even notice anyone else in the room staring at us, that is until saw Jarrod's brother William quickly approaching us. I've known him as long as I've known Jarrod as he is 5yrs older than him, but he has never seen me cry.

I became extremely embarrassed knowing William was going to see my tears for the first time. I wasn't sure how he was going to take it. I began to feel my cheeks flush.  I then looked at Jarrod deep in his eyes with my tear filled eyes that I couldn't seem to stop from running as if asking him what I should do.

I trusted Jarrod and when he gave me a nod and a thigh squeeze, I lost what was left of my composure and let out a low sob. At that point I completely forgot William was still standing next to Jarrod. That is until he...

I couldn't believe it when I felt William place a hand on my shoulder. Was I really going to be comforted by two guys, the love of my life and his brother? I was too busy crying to really think much about it.

I then let out another low sob and my shoulder began to tremble. That was when I heard Jarrod and William whispering something behind my back. I was too upset to really pay attention to what was being said though.
