Ight.

Isa

Someone bumps into me and I drop everything, swearing before crouching down and picking everything up.

Will

I crouch down as well and help, apologizing again, "I should have been paying attention, I'm sorry. I always do this."

Isa

"it's alright, I d--" I glance up at him before realizing who it is as I look down again and gather everything in my basket, "S'Alright."

Will

I realize it's her and swallow, cursing myself mentally. Nodding, I stand and just turn to walk away without another word.

Isa

I glance up at him when he starts walking away, highering myself before hesitating, "Will?"

Will

I stop and look back at her, trying to hide the hurt I never managed to wash away, "Yeah?"

Isa

I study him before looking down and playing with the dirt with my shoe, "You're back."

Will

I study her before looking away, "For now, yeah."

Isa

I nod and look back up at him, "Oh...welcome back."

Will

I nod and glance at her, "Thank you."

Isa

I hesitate before biting my lip and walking the opposite way back home.

Will

Instead of going after her, like part of me wants, I turn and head home as well.

Isa

I get home and close the door behind me, cutting myself when I realize there's broken glass on the door. Swearing, I run to the bathroom and clean it out.

Will

I set the rifle against the fence, hesitating before heading up the porch. Before I can touch the door, Mother bursts out and takes me in an embrace. Father comes out shortly after and hugs me as well. When they're done gushing, they usher me inside and send me to my room to get cleaned up.
