Title: Chapter 7 Who can turn me around?

[Author's notes: Once more another endless night without sleep and just when sleep found me this came to mind.]

"blah"- talking
'blah'- thinking
~~~~- scene change
*blah* song lyrics



*When the world is darker than I can understand.*

The sun is starting to set over the water. The sweet sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks below is ignored by the two broken souls. Broken by each other but shattered by another. Still they stand and stare at each other hoping the other would break the silence but wishing the silence stays.

*When nothing turns out the way I planned.*

Jessy's POV
We're sitting in our favorite spot just enjoying the evening... well they are. I'm really nervous inside, I'm meeting someone soon. A friend of mine told me about her, that she does great work. I really hope she shows up soon. Derreck is telling us something but I don't hear anything because the girl showed up and I can't stop smiling I'm so excited. She's an artist with ink, from what I'm told. I've been thinking about this for awhile now. But I didn't tell the others yet.



~~~~



I've been meeting with her for awhile now. Talking about what I want for the tattoo, what colors I like and all that. Today she's showing me pictures of her works and they are amazing! I can't wait to show everyone! So worth it driving every week to meet her in her home town. She takes out her drawings of what I might want. Boy would Becky be in for a surprise!

*When the sky turns grey and there's no end in sight.*



~~~~



The date is set for the inking and then I can show Becky. I miss her so much right now. I feel so bad about lying to her about where I'm going. But I'll make it up to her when it's all done.



~~~~



*When I can't sleep through the lonely night.*



~~~~



I didn't go to the appointment. Becky just broke up with me.... why?



~~~~



*When my insides are wracked with anxiety.*



~~~~



I went to talk to the girl and she agreed to change the drawing for me. It hurts but not as much as my heart is hurting right now. But I can go through with this.



~~~~



*You have the touch that will quiet me.*



~~~~



I know that she wants to come closer, I do too but I can't let that happen. So I snarl at her and watch as she flinch away. I smirk for good measure even though I want nothing more then say I'm sorry for making her uncomfortable. But I can't have that. I can't have her.



~~~~



*When I need inspiration, when I need advice.*



~~~~



When the girl asked me why I didn't show up and why I want to change it I told her what happened. I didn't change the drawing too much. Even though I wanted to but she talked me out of it. It's just a small difference.



~~~~



*I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun.*
