dylan westwood sat in the booth, looking around the town of arroyo. it was still familiar in his mind. but the memories of the war overpowered him. he couldn't stop thinking about how his father had died. his mind replayed his death over and over again, and the repetition had changed dylan forever. he wasn't quite all there, though normal as a man could be after coming back from a war and losing a family member. his glassy eyes examined the coffee shop before taking another sip of the black coffee. nothing seemed worth living for anymore.

Lindsay walked up and got a coffe,two creams,two sugars.Seeing someone sitting in a booth at theback she walked over.Once upclose shesaw itwas a guy,while technically a man.Realizing she didnt know him she introduced herself"Hello I'm Lindsay,is may I sit down here?"she asked politly.He looked like he was day dreaming,only hewas thinking.He was rembering a scene.Oh my gosh thought Lindsay,im turning into a shrink.Lindsay stood patiently waiting for his answer.She couldntpalce him,he wasnt related to Colt,nor TEx...maybe the westwoods thought lindsay.She was clueless about who he was relted to..shed now if somebody just moved here,but he had to beliving with a family.He was to relaxed,he new this place somehow.Lindsay decided to deal with the fact shewas turning into a shrink,it was all thanks to what she called people reading class.

dylan looked up at her with his glassy eyes. i don't mind. he murmered, before looking back down at his coffee. a moment of silence slipped between the two. i'm dylan. he said suddenly, looking up from his coffee. dylan westwood. he said, extending his hand toward hers for a handshake. he smiled faintly, but the expression didn't reach his eyes. sure, he wasn't normal. but he could be. all he needed was somebody to help him there.

Lindsay shookhis hand with a soft smile andlooked into his eyes.Sadness.Lindsay was getting sick of her thoughts but new it was no matter how annoying a gift."Im lindsay Wood..just so the last name registers im the sister of Ali,the girl your sister at one moment hated."said Lindsay think Wow that was very formal.Lindsay slid accross from Dylan,not sure where hed wnated her to sit.She took a sip of her coffe and looked at his eyes,pure sadness.Lindsaynot really knowing what to saycontinued to think hen acidently said out loud"Why are you so sad"As soon as she heard it slip out of her mouth she flet like running to the bathroom and slapping herself across the face.Shestayed there thow and then added"I took a people reading class,as a second major.sorry if I made you feel awkward..i didnt mean to say anything"said lindsay feeling sorry for him now,shedidnt even now this guy..at all.

dylan looked up at her. his eyes seemed focused for once. my father and i went to war when i was just eighteen. he said, beginning to explain. tears began to roll down his face silently. he honestly prayed she wouldn't laugh at him. so many other girls had. he died right in front of me. and i was held captive by the man who had killed him for years.

Lindsay got up,andwentto his side of the booth.She embraced him in a hug and whispered"Its okay,im here".She rocked him gently,tears slipingout of her eyes.She then whispered"my parents are gone to" and huggedhim tighter.Shemissedthem so much,and shenew he missed his father.Tears rolled off her cheeeks but shedidnt even bother to wipe her eyes.She roked him gently,not sure weather she was trying to calmhim or herself.She hugged him tightly,hopingto comfort him.her mother had always told her everytime she had been the slitest bit down that Hugs helped,no matter who it was giving them and then would proceed to hug Lindsay.Lindsaywiped her cheek with the back of her hand,slowing the tears.She took a deep breath and then said "Your okay,your here now".She hoped not to seem strange but comforting,but you never know with people..there all diffrent.

dylan was actually surprised when she began to hug him, but he easily fell into the embrace and wrapped his arms around her. her body began to shake as she sobbed. he could barely hear her words as she explained that her parents were gone too. she pulled away moments later, and his eyes seemed glassy no longer. but he's dead...and i feel like it's my fault. i mean...everyday, i ask myself why i'm still here. he said, burying his face in his hands as he stared down at the floor in guilt. he honestly considered suicide, but tossed the thought away. that's not what his dad would have wanted him to do.

Lindsay rubbed his back and said"God took him,because he had served the earth,and it was time for him to relax,and go to heaven"said Lindsay and once it was out of ehr mouth she couldn't believe how smart she sounded."Your here,because god new you had somuch potintial,if you didnt you wouldnt be sitting here today" said lindsay rubbinghisback.She hoped he was going tobe okay,it was amazing what three years ofhelping Mandy plusher major had taught her."Its like well..my parents.Me and Ali were supposed to go,but at the last minute I got sick,ali had to watch me.They..died without us because I was sick.God new me and Ali had potential,no matter how young we were."said Lindsay softy.Lindsay started think this place was doing some good forher..she had said so many things to people,she never would have said in NY.Of course it hadnt ended perfectly,but it had only neen a little while,itd all get better.She had now stoped crying complety,notevevn hinting atit.She looked out the window and saw thebeautifulsun,its was a beautiful day.shethen returned to Dylan and said softly"If it counts for anything,your here to finish what you started.life".

dylan merely shook his head sadly. sometimes i wish i could finish it now. he said, eyes meeting hers. he sighed once more. he moved his hand, letting it rest over hers as he made eye contact. look...you're a really sweet girl, and all but please...don't try and make my day. it's not worth your time.

"While I dont have anything better to do,so im not wasting my time"said lindsay wondering what shed said..aparently men are moody around here..sheesh.She wanted to say something but new itd come out wrong,all wrong.Lindsay was going over what she said..but she couldnt find anythin particually were shed tried to make his day..she was justhelping.she then decided to coomenton his first comment thinking whattheheck,itsnot likeI could have any worse luck with talking to guys"Your free,your home.Dotn give it all up,youve done so much,and been threw tons.If I had your attitude I wouldn't be here..or is that what you want?me to be gone"Said lindsay softly.She wondered if sheshould just get up and leave..maybe there was a curse on the whole gang from NY,well Mandy and her at least.Lindsay thought of everything nobody new...besides her parents dieing.Being raped by a stranger..Malested by a two diffrent teachers..several times.Meanwhile nobodynew..that was stuff she had nobody to tell..everyone else had someone,a sibling,a boyfriend,a girlfriend or jsut a plain best friend.It sucked being alone,but shed lived that way for along time...since it all happened after her parents died.Its like the teachers new..the perverted teachers that is.ALi complained about life now,what would she do if shed been threw what lindsay been threw? Lindsay was born with a terrific body like her sister,sadly the pervs seemed to like hers the best of all in thre classes.

dylan shook his head once more. maybe she'd never understand. but he wasn't about to spit it right out. she spoke once more, and dylan sighed. no. that's definitely not what i want. he muttered, looking away. maybe he didn't need a girl that was as messed up as he was. maybe she'd gone through too much to really help. but he needed somebody desperately...he let a moment of silence pass between them. look...i really would like to get to know you better. so...just let me take you out to dinner or something, alright? he said, getting up. he hadn't finished his coffee, and he probably wouldn't eat anything at the restaraunt if she decided to allow him to take her, but he wasn't hungry. he moved to her side, hand outstretched to help her out of the booth.

"well im not really hungry..But I could grab a salad,thanks"Said lindsay glad she hadnt freaked him out completly.She grabbed her coffe..not really intrested in it.She new she could get along with this boy,its not like she had to worry about puttingher problems aside..shed never not done that.Shenew this boy was looking for help..but howd he want it?she wondered if he just wanted a friend,somebody to turn to,somebody to give him adivce..the last one she highly doubted,at least not her advice.She decided to drop the thought and said"Where do you wanna go,we dont even have to get something toeatif you dont want.."said Lindsay still debatign if she herself was hungry..She just smiled as she set her cup down in the right place.Lindsay brushed some dust off her jeans,then pulling down her red halter.She figured she lookded totally gay to Dylan,whos sisters were fashion divas.Butwho cares she thought,its just clothes.She wondered what he wanted to do,if he wanted to eat and where he really wanted t go.

dylan smiled softly. he didn't really want a friend...though that was probably what he needed most. honestly, he was looking to be more than friends with this girl. believe it or not, she had helped him. he could almost feel his depression lifting. or we could go out trail riding...i could use one of my sister's horses. he said, smiling faintly.

"That sounds good,grassland trail?"said Lindsay wondering which horse to take and then asked"Are you riding a mare or stallion?"she asked trying to narrow downehr decsion,Lilly out of question,she would need tons of lunging and a heck of a lot of work before she could set foot outside an arena..as for Trail rides she was practically never gonna go on one..pasture trail rides..or down the road.This time if she took a mare,she was checkign to see if it was in heat.

dylan shrugged. i'll probably take broken fantasy, and he's a gelding. he said, looking down at her. he honestly wondered wether she'd have feelings for him if he told her he might just have some for her. he wasn't sure yet, but he was nearly certain.
