It was as if she wasn't allowed to have true happiness or was being punished, it made her feel terrible for doing this to Jerry and maybe it was better that he did just reject her and move on. He was quiet for a while with a shocked look on his face so she was sure that he was about to tell her how disgusting she was then leave her to her thoughts, she was prepared for it but it never came. Instead he actually spoke to her with forgiveness in his voice and it confused her some.<span style="color: #000040">"You do? Why would you still wish for a relationship with me after everything I just told you? Why do you continue to be so kind to me?"</span>Of course he ended the sentence with a<span style="font-style: italic">but</span>and that was never a good thing so she was sure his sweet words were coming to an end but only more surprises came.<br/><br/>She stared down at his hand when he touched hers, trying to reassure her and make things seem alright but she knew they weren't. He only continued to confuse her with him having his own secrets that he couldn't tell her just yet. Could it have been any worse than what she had told him or was this some kind of excuse to let her down gently?<span style="color: #000040">"I don't understand? What secret Jerry? Asking you won't give me an answer though...this is really all my fault I just never expected something like this to happen."</span>She said and held her head down in shame. She was just embarrassed and felt so bad that she didn't know what to do and now he was just going to walk out of her life like every other man that was ever involved. The girl wanted to believe he would come back and make things right with her but that was easier said than done.<br/><br/>Ivy held his hand tightly in her own then sighed heavily before releasing it, if he truly needed to leave and think things over then she wouldn't make him stay. Instead she grabbed a pen and a slip of paper and wrote down her number and handed it to him.<span style="color: #000040">"I know you're going to leave..whenever you can or decide to come back so we can talk then you have my number alright? Jerry I can't apologize enough for this but I would never intentionally hurt you..this all just happened so fast for us and I'm sorry you had to know the worst of me.."</span>She held the bed sheets closer to her small frame and looked away from him. It was easier to not watch him walk out the door and she wanted to be spared some pain. It was nice though, to have him to herself for a whole day so for once she actually felt worthy and cared for.<span style="color: #000040">"Thank you Jerry..for being here for me anyway.."</span>
