chapter 8
Cooper: Hey Wolfe, I got something from your case.
Ryan: Okay, I'm coming.
*explains his findings*
Cooper: What's wrong with you?
Ryan: What do you mean? There's nothing wrong with me.
Cooper: Well, you just completely ignored everything I said, that and the fact that your not wearing the watch that Calleigh gave you that you never take off.
Ryan: I do take it off sometimes, Okay fine, she broke up with me, end of discussion.
Cooper: See? That wasn't hard. You sure you don't need to talk?
Ryan: I'm fine. I'm happy. I don't care.
Cooper: Okay, sure you are. I think you need to go out tonight. Get your mind off things.
Ryan: And do what?
Cooper: Go to a club, maybe find someone there.
Ryan: No thanks, last time I went I wasn't sad and I got kicked out of the club because I was so drunk.
Cooper: So you need to get drunk.
Ryan: I'd rather not.
Cooper: Fine. But I'm not going to let you mope around all day. I'm going to get you to do something if it kills me.
Ryan: Good luck. I've got work to do. I'll see you later.
Cooper: Bye.
*later that night*
Elliott: So, how was your day?
Calleigh: It was good, the usual.
Elliott: What is wrong? You seem, distant?
Calleigh: Name one reason you like me?
Elliott: Excuse me?
Calleigh: Name one reason you like me.
Elliott: Cal, you can't be serious.
Calleigh: Well actually I can. And I am.
Elliott: I like you because your beautiful.
Calliegh: No give me a serious, deep explanation.
Elliott: *silent*
Calleigh: I haven't got all day, Peter.
Elliott: I..I....well I like you...uhh
Calleigh: You've got to be kidding me. I left a guy who actually seemed to like for me for something for this. What is this anyway? I can't call it a relationship, now can I?
Elliott: What are you trying to say? Your leaving me? Why? I love you and you love me!
Calleigh: You just used me for a rebound girl so you wouldn't feel like such a scumbag!
Elliott: Fine, leave then, but remember once you leave you can't come back!
Calleigh: Fine, good-bye!
*the next day*
Calleigh: Natalia, can I talk to you?
Natalia: Sure. What about?
Calleigh: Well, I broke up with Ryan, and I broke up with Peter but I am having second doubts and Ryan will never take me back.
Natalia: Wow that is a lot of problems. Let's start from the begining
Calliegh: I broke up with Ryan.
Natalia: Why?
Calleigh: I truly don't know. Peter Elliott, you know the money guy, well he called me and told me his wife left him and that he loved me.
Natalia: And you left Ryan for him?
Calleigh: Yes. But I don't know if I did the right thing.
Natalia: Well who do you love more?
Calleigh: I don't know. They are so different. I don't know, Natalia.
Natalia: Okay, well how about this, what did you like about you dates with Ryan?
Calleigh: Well, for one everytime we went out together I felt like a kid agian and everything with him is like a big suprise.
Natalia: Now tell me about Peter's dates.
Calleigh: Well, we only went on two but both of them where just talking and a lot of uncomfortable silences neither one of us really know what to say.
Natalia: Well, if you still can't see why you and Ryan should be together, there is nothing else I can do.
Calleigh: I bet he hates me.
Natalia: Ryan? Actually he probably doesn't. he loves you. I think you are having self-doubt, Calleigh.
Calleigh: I want to tell Peter no. I have to tell Peter no. but he's so I don't know.I just don't want to.
Natalia: Well it's pretty much up to you now.
Calleigh: I have to go over to Ryan's tonight. Will you come with me so I can talk to him?
Natalia: Sure.
Calliegh: Thank you so much, come by my place around 6 I am meeting Ryan at 6:30 to get all my things.
Natalia: Sure thing, see you then.
Calliegh: Bye and thanks for everything!
