Victorious?

Jason gives Katie a little squeeze, just holding her close for several more minutes, knowing it’s what she needed. It was a different feeling that surfaced now…holding Katie in his arms like this was not the same as it used to be. There were feelings that were not there any more… but despite their ups, downs, victories and failures, they were still friends, and right now, that’s what mattered most.

Finally Jason pulls Katie out a little bit, cocking his head so he can see her face. “Hey…Scott’s over there worrying himself sick about you… How about letting him take you home? You need to get some rest and it’s going to get chilly out here in a bit. Not to mention, neither one of us are going to leave you out here.”


Bret can’t help his grin at Charlotte. “At this rate, I’m going to need a whole role.”


Carson chuckles and follows Misty outside, driving her back home, then heading to TJY. He stays there a little while, actually doing some work, but as it gets later, he slips back out again.

Driving across town, his conscious nags at him the whole way. He shouldn’t be doing this…there had to be another way. But…there wasn’t. This was the only way to get cash fast, and he needed it.

Parking along the darkened street once again, Carson turns off his car. Pulling out his cell phone, he shuts it off. Better to have it off than have someone know it’s ringing without him answering.

It’s twelve-thirty. Carson makes his way slowly back to his car, wincing a little as he gets in. Cutter had been paying attention tonight, but Carson had still come out victorious. Unfortunately, he’d taking a nice punch to his eye, bringing a nice bruise back all over again. His ribs had held up alright, being wrapped tightly, though he was pretty sore again. All he wanted to do now was get home and go to bed.
