Nick stood there listening to everything Julia was saying. This was weird,
everything she was saying was true and had happened. But HOW can she be
back? How did Julia come back and why is she back? Ahh! this was too much. "I
feel something..." Julia swallowed quietly and chewed her
bottom lip, frowning a little in confusion. Nick of all people.... She
crossed her arms and rubbed them from a chill that had nothing to do with the
weather, her voice quiet even as she remembered and offered the part about the
sweat shirt she had snagged "I shirt-nabbed this every chance I got... just to
tease you.. " her shoulders started to sag and she swipped at her eyes and
offered with a listless shrug "Run tests on me... DNA, brain waves,
whatever."
She couldn't explain why but it hurt that
Nick hadn't... well it didn't matter now, did it?
"I don't know why I'm back," she spoke
quietly, having seen the confusion in his eyes but now looking at a point on the
ground... maybe the back tire of his Stag "All I remember is.. fighting..
telling them I had to come back and refusing.... refusing to go where they
wanted me to go...I had to get back...."
And to what? She thought sadly, to people
that had moved on and... she mentally shook off that thought and held her arms
closer about her, looking back at Nick, her voice quiet as her gaze traced his
still confused and even pained features "I just had to get back."
