After we arrive back at my house Jarrod asks me if I want to go back and face my sister. It seemed rather hard for me to get the words out right away so I just sat there in silence trying to collect my thoughts and my voice.

Jarrod asked me again if I wanted to go back and talk to my sister. It seemed like this situation was getting him just as upset as me. I struggled to finally find my voice.

"Its late. I've got work in the morning. I'd rather just go in." I begin slowly pointing to my house from his car window. "Besides I think Sadie needs to be alone right now to evaluate tonight properly." I finished as I felt Jarrod brushing the last of my tears away.

I finally look into Jarrod's eyes and see what I think may be new tears filling up his eyes. I really don't want to draw much attention to them as I want him to feel free to let them out, unjudged.

"Care to come in? I know its late, but I'd love to have you company for just a bit." I say hoping he'll say yes. I can't let him go home on bad terms. Besides he can go home and change his clothes in the morning as he doesn't have to be in work as early as I  do.

Jarrod and I talked on the sofa for a few min, but I soon I invited him into my bedroom as I was getting tired and had to be up early for work in the morning.

As soon as we both sat down on the bed and got comfortable I could see more angry tears welling in Jarrod's eyes. He then tells me he doesn't want me to be mad at him anymore because it makes him uncomfortable. He's not used to me being like this. But he feels he's done all he can do, apart from apologizing, which he feels is unnecessary.

Thinking for a moment I respond "I love you with all my heart too and I'm sorry I'm making you uncomfortable, but what it was your brother in this situation instead of my sister? How would you feel? You'd have every right to be upset in my opinion. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop loving you though." I finish as I see a single tear hanging on Jarrod's eyelash trying to hold on.

My heart absolutely drops. I hate seeing Jarrod so frustrated.

I decided to let it go and just let our differences of opinion be just that our differences. There was no need to keep discussing it. I knew we weren't going to see eye to eye and I guess that was ok. There was no need to ruin our relationship over it or make Jarrod feel any worse about speaking up.

With that I saw Jarrod finally close his eyes and let the tear that was hanging on his eyelash finally slide over his cheek. My heart absolutely dropped. I began to feel the sting of hot tears behind both of my eyes. I took a deep breath trying to keep them at bay. I then reached out my hand and slowly and tenderly used the pad of my thumb to delicately wipe the warm tear off of his cheek. Then I followed the tear streak back up to his eye also with the pad of my thumb.

Once I removed my thumb I continued to look at Jarrod's face. I could barely make out the image of his closed eyes anymore as my vision was starting to get blurry. The tears that were burning behind my eyes were finally starting to push their way to the front.

I took a deep breath. I wanted to apologize for how I treated Jarrod. Not for what I said but for how I said it. I know sometimes I come off a little harsh. But I was afraid to say anything as I didn't really want to break down again. Not that I didn't like Jarrod comforting me (that was the ultimate bonus in our relationship) but  I was just to physically and emotionally drained tonight.

Sadie had a word with me. I did mention I met Jessica after my flight from our mutual dinner that night.

'You have to explain to my sister everything' Sadie told me as tears ran down her cheeks. 'Don't miss anything out' It didn't seem appropriate to wipe her tears away just this moment so I didn't

Sadie gave me Camilla's number so I called it. It was answer phone but I left a message.

'I need to explain why I left, and what happened to me when  I was younger. Meet me at Ernie's Juice bar tomorrow at 2pm. But please come alone

I hung up as one tear then another streamed down my face. I didn't wipe them away immediately  but left them on my cheeks for a few seconds. Then I played with my boot zips slowly pushing them down and pulling them up again listening to the raspy sound they made

I then went back to join Sadie

Seeing her eyes full of tears. Camilla closed her eyes, sending two big, round tears from each eye, I couldn't react, I was a bit shocked, she had been so harsh a few minutes ago and now she peacefully broke in tears. I slowly approach my hand to her chin, when I felt a tear land on the back of my hand. I shivered, I had never felt this before, I adjust myself and bring my other hand to her cheek, feeling another lukewarm tear land on my hand before I reached her chin.

I couldn't let my beautiful girlfriend's tears waste, I approached and kissed a couple of tears from one cheek as I softly wiped the tears from her other cheek, from the chin all the way to under her eye, placing a kiss at the bottom of each eye.

I guided her to lie on my chest, feeling her hair beneath my face and her warm tears land on my chest. I hugged her with one arm, trying to transfer all my love to her as I caressed her hair with my other hand. I was thinking on making her forget all this unpleasant experience and I didn't know if it was appropriate, so I went slow, started caressing her back, her arms, her firm abs, staying there waiting for her reaction...
