Saturday, December 13th, 2008 Who: Kim and Starbuck When: Saturday afternoon Where: Staff apartment lot then their apartment When: Kim's a mess and needs Starbuck's help
The entire cab ride back to the school was spent blankly staring ahead at the road before her. Luckily, the cab driver had gotten the hint that she wasn't up for any idle small talk from the depressing body language she was conveying. Her face was still stained from the tears that had streamed down her face and her eyes were bloodshot and puffy, but she wasn't crying anymore. She didn't have the energy for it. She felt numb now, mostly because she had forced herself into that state for the drive to the school. Hopefully, she'd stay numb, but she had a feeling that would change.
Once the cab rolled into the staff apartment parking lot, Kim closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The cab rolled to a stop right in front of the building where Starbuck was already waiting for her. Kim paid the driver and stepped out of the car, trying to hold in the tears as she walked towards her boyfriend.
