Chapter 71: Starting Afresh

Two weeks, that was how long it had been and slowly I was starting to heal. Neil was completely not talking to me now which I hadn't expected but I accepted it after the initial shock had set in. Patience and Lynn tried to get us to talk about what was going on.

"You two should just talk about it, why are you both being so difficult?" Lynn huffed one day when we were heading to lunch in the canteen. I had days when I actually chose to have lunch with them and other days when I just preferred to run or workout or even train for hockey once more. "This is the problem with guys, you don't talk about your feelings and end up bottling everything up then wonder why when you blow up."

I sighed as I smiled softly at her. "I tried talking to him but he doesn't want to talk and I won't force him to talk to me if he doesn't want to," I replied with a light shrug. "Guys aren't like girls but we do talk about our feelings in our own way…sometimes."
