Unique

Was it bad Kirk had forgotten Adison liked to play pool? It had been such a long time since they'd played, especially since he'd been trying to avoid the bar scene. She had always been better at it than he, though that had never bothered him.

"Yeah..." He forced a smile. "That sounds like fun." He hoped his tone was more convincing than what he felt. Why did Ron's comment about him and Adison not being hooked up bother him? It shouldn't. He and Adison had a unique relationship - nothing wrong with that. And he knew good and well it was the way she wanted it. Right?

Had he really just finished his second beer? Had Adison noticed? Why should he feel guilty? And why did he just wish this evening was over already, when nothing was wrong with it at all?

"I'll, um, be right back." Excusing himself politely, he aimed for the kitchen, out of sight. He had no reason to be in here...maybe he'd get some ice cream just as an excuse. Sighing, he just leaned back against the counter. Why wasn't Adison sitting up there like usual, and giving his tense shoulders a rub like she did so well? He rolled his eyes at himself. Apparently he couldn't even handle two beers anymore. It had obviously gone straight to his head. 


Jason wasn't sure what good walking around would do, but he didnt argue. Getting to his feet, he grimaced and had to take just a moment to steady himself. His leg hurt. His shoulder hurt more. He wished he would have stayed on the floor.

"Just so you know...the main floor has never had fresh air." He managed a little smile. As he put an arm around Katie's shoulder though - partly for support - his hand still trembled.

"Can we at least go by way by the infirmary? I could really go for some pain killers right about now."
