/Astra pt 2\
218Please respect copyright.PENANA6uSYjRHe9m
Tossing and turning in bed as the sound of a ringing sound echoes through the apartment. Fumbling around searching for the phone I accidentally answered it before seeing who it was. I managed to glimpse at the time before speaking...jesus

"Hello...?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANArq24S9TpJV
"Astra......look I am sorry to call so late but."
218Please respect copyright.PENANA15VO8VXiYA
Shit Dan which means that Cait ....
218Please respect copyright.PENANAfgQ6X3Q4oW
"Is she okay?... Where are you at."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAYw480ZO2O8
"She took off and we can not seem to find her. I don't know what happened Astra I thought everything was fine we had a few drinks and then she broke down.."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAODuK54tREv
" I will find her do not worry..."
218Please respect copyright.PENANApO4QwD6Qn1
"Astra I am really sorry to wake you up so late."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAttDQjacdty
" It is fine you only call like this if it is an emergency I will call you back when I find her."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAYc2UhyJAka
Without waiting I just hung up on him... god Cait why do you do this. Rushing to put on whatever clothes I could find I just rushed outside quickly...I took off in a Sprint towards her usual spots. This is my tenth time heading to look for Cait after getting woken up from a call. Why does she keep doing this to me and why do I keep running after her each time.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAWlKhaU5pBj
From the playground to the old Rec center they held a special place for us.... and was a spot for her to run to. Back in school we came here often before heading home, at the park was where I confessed for the first time.... Which means she must have gone back to that place damnit Cait. Forty minutes.... I have been running for forty minutes straight it feels. please let me find her soon I don't think I can take much more worrying....and just like that I heard her voice stopping me dead in my tracks. She came here again...Damnit Cait.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA807VtSsbC0
"Cait...come on you are going home now."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAZXxbss2C4n
"Hey Astraaaa... I had fun tonight."
218Please respect copyright.PENANA9I62lPXAM3
God you are wasted...
You never called me Astra and as if this night could not get worse...
218Please respect copyright.PENANA45yPAcCCWO
"Hey Astra hands off my date we are not done partying do not be a spoil sport."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAD9ptUxMrkQ
" Yeah Astraaaa don't be a spoil sport...haha"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAcqkD8ducX0
I did not like her in highschool an I hate her even more now guess she does not learn...or do I not understand....
218Please respect copyright.PENANALn5hPTFBcT
" I told you to stay the hell away from her Joy...Cait come on let's go home"
218Please respect copyright.PENANA8LfEHQ6eJ9
I was not the perfect child and I was never the best friend to those around me. I was always distant back in highschool...but Joy ran track with me so I knew her record with the girls and boys in school....but Cait just did not listen to my warnings.... history loves repeating it seems but I again could not hold back.... I just reacted. When she touched me I drowned her voice out and struck out as hard as I could.....damnit Astra you was not suppose to fight anymore....I just won't let her toy with Cait again.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAhNLrXOJtXp
" This is just like highschool Joy I told you stay the hell away from her... If I see you again I swear it will be worse then what I did in highschool for you....."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3VhDcmhR9
God why did I do that was it my adrenaline or jealousy. I swore I left that side of me in the past, but I will never forgive her. Maybe it's a lot of things causing me to react like this....god it hurts I have not been in fights since highschool and that familiar pain from hitting something just came back.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA1b644mSJf1
"Ash...are we home yet"
218Please respect copyright.PENANArWLOvfM61X
" Almost Cait just rest I have you.."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAK7c7mFZvuJ
Carrying someone on the back was easier then dragging them especially since she is so light. I didn't even bother locking my door shit...Better put her down on my bed and take care of my hand. Looking at how peaceful she was sleeping it's as if the pain and sting in my hand was forgotten. Taking a shower was the only thing I wanted to do maybe I could calm down finally.... Why her Cait you should have known better so why...I really hate beating myself up like this but of all the people she went back to......Joy is the reason Cait rejected my confession back then, well mostly because I was to late..... If she had not ignored my warnings about her and just accepted my confession I could have saved her from all this...I sound so petty......maybe if I had not done what i did to Joy i could have brought Cait back to me.. Shit waters cold.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAlRaNSwQyOK
Slipping out from the shower throwing on the same clothes i managed to dry my hair before heading back to the bedroom. She was still asleep thankfully ....I just want to protect you but I don't know how to protect you from yourself Cait....
218Please respect copyright.PENANAogpsjDU0VW
Slipping beneath the blankets I cradled her close to me without disturbing her... But I should have known better..
218Please respect copyright.PENANA3DjjpRugxg
"I messed up again...."
218Please respect copyright.PENANACOQjKm6dti
She was way to honest when she got drunk like this...god what do I do.
218Please respect copyright.PENANArq9HH10HD2
'Yeah you did....but I'm here..."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAxPcijtwoEq
"You won't hate me right.....I am sorry."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAmvBCbHsauI
That same question has been asked so many times and I still hate hearing it.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAXssPiBahuB
" Never Cait....I love you to much to hate you..."
218Please respect copyright.PENANADNp5U0izHI
She wouldn't remember my words like all the other times...all my words where like on repeat as I said this to her while she was never gonna remember them in the morning... So I can keep to the line i drew... Nothing will change and she won't remember so I can stay by her side and stay devoted to her...
218Please respect copyright.PENANAgmQVcSErEO
"Sorry...."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAUSJj4uvHFk
When I woke up she was already gone, nothing has changed I guess.....I should let Dan know either way..
218Please respect copyright.PENANAJn3YQiByX4
"Hey Astra everything ok, did you find Cait.?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANARpnBIjqifi
" Yeah she is fine....I"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAD0lxqfw7rx
" What's wrong .?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANA1ns3LgCZzC
"Nothing just wanted to let you know she is safe. Tell Jean I said hi I have to get ready for my run."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAPpzryh8L0V
" How long?."
218Please respect copyright.PENANA25bXe7o4V4
"Huh?."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAQHBDWJ3Uwq
"Running how long can you keep running. You know you should talk to her this won't go away easily."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAKxB29AlDuE
"Yeah.....I know but I am really good at running take care."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAS5nMO7ZVqN
God I never hung up so fast before but if I didn't he would have heard me crying. Even though I faked a smile for so long....I am just sitting here crying...he is right but I was built to run and fight....Maybe I just have everything in the wrong order but I don't know what else I could do..... I fight to keep her safe while running away...I need air.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAaALMScT4GE
The jog from my apartment through the town i circled around a few times....i think it took nearly three hours before I finally stopped to catch my breath.....
218Please respect copyright.PENANAcMSPsDpF90
"Astra?.."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAbav7ghHrIa
God has a sense of humor today or is this just my luck in life...I wanted to avoid everyone today I am not ready.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAq0VxSDItb0
"Hey Gina what are you doing here.?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAR4KmlC3uvQ
"Uh breakfast before work and I would ask you the same but...."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAOPzJMV9AwN
Dripping in sweat I felt every place her eyes traveled. I swear she was examining a map the way she took me in. The heat that began rising up was not from the run that's for sure...
218Please respect copyright.PENANApQ6IqCzsWd
" Uh yeah gym sounds good I could use some extra workouts today."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAukW5x7ZLCV
"Well drink this and I will finish breakfast then we can jog back to the gym....So what happened?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANApPe61e987b
What happened when?...I had no idea that I forgot.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAM5wGdIyQdM
"The hand is swollen a bit...Did you not notice ?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAztw1g2rzFt
God I really am a map to her.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA6IzfiRolHk
" Oh this.... I accidentally hit it on the table this morning. Guess the run made me forget."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAUgKZwua5QX
"Well I'm sure that table will say you have a mean right hook...Alright come on let's head on over to the gym."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAeZA7yI0N5g
She saw right trough me guess I just really suck at lying. I am not even sure why I agreed to go to the gym...something just said go and I went...Guess it does not help when I stare at her body so obviously.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA4N28uuLe4N
" So why don't you take a seat in the locker room first and I will find some ice for that hand"
218Please respect copyright.PENANALjEcQrs7Gv
" Sounds good and thanks."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAcfiFjSK1Bv
Once I took a seat on the bench it felt so good to be off my feet for sure...but lost in thoughts I did not even hear her enter.... Putting the ice on my hand felt good at least how did I forget to take care of my hand last night......and then a surprise I was not expecting....I didn't expect her to touch my legs like that jumping a little startled me but her touch was soothing.....it has been a while.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAkPOOyKBGp1
"Sorry you looked like you could use a massage...the run was a little overboard figured you could use some help."
218Please respect copyright.PENANALSWLXTD5lV
" Sorry.... yeah I just got lost in thought so I kept running till exhaustion hit.....mm that does feel good though."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAKZW71ahz5L
"Well instead of a routine take it easy and after my shift we could go to a bath house nearby. The steam will help you relax more then this message for sure."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAWtVgEPm9jm
"Yeah but you have a magic touch....."
218Please respect copyright.PENANA0erYBkc4hD
Shit I just blurted that out without even thinking and it earned me a laugh from Gina. I could see her getting shy at the compliment.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAdzTmKJMn9F
" Well I won't deny that.. i mean my fingers do work magic. It is a gift."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAI4KFmT7nYZ
God why did she have to be so smooth with it. Thankfully I was spared embarrassment as people started shuffling in for morning routines.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAhgNHmqRcSN
"You can head into my office till I'm done. The sofa is comfy it may help you relax."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAd3M4E55ymb
"Thanks Gina..."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAaWDwAH3T0H
Heading towards the office I felt my legs burning... I guess I did really push myself to hard. Dan why did you have to say that.....I really can not keep running can I...Laying on this sofa was really comfy...i think I may fall asleep before the tears come again......
