Everytime I close my eyes, I see your face and I wonder
When you close your eyes, do you think about me?
Now I realize, I want you and no other
Everytime I close my eyes You're all that I see


(The morning had gone pretty well for her and Skeeter.. he had picked her up and taken her to her third ultrasound, and this time they had both been able to see and hear the baby instead of just hearing him and hoping everything was alright. The baby had become so active that she had modeled her life around when he was awake and when he chose to sleep.. but she wasn't complaining. They'd picked up lunch at a small diner near the capitol mall that had become a source of craving for her lately, the baby seemed to like a good philly cheesesteak.. and he was picky about where it came from. They were only a couple blocks from her building when Skeeter's phone rang. She was quiet as Skeeter answered his phone, a frown crossing her features as she listened to him apparently talking about Reese.. it sounded to her like the girl was sick or something. She caught whiff of the fries in the white bag on her lap and her stomach growled at the same time that the baby kicked, so she rubbed her hand over her belly, trying to instill some patience in her child. It was never too early to teach manners. When he hung up and looked over at her, she smiled a little and suggested they both pick her up.. that way Reese could have a girl around for awhile.. and he of all people knew that Gia was starved for attention half the time. So they had done just that.) (She'd been waiting for them in the office, her lower lip tucked between her teeth and her hands shoved into the pouch of her marine hoodie. She looked up when Skeeter came in to sign her out and let out a massive sigh that was just too dramatic for a seventeen year old. She'd gotten her weekly roses that morning.. Braden had been gone two weeks already.. and the depression had just sort of sucked her in. Her teacher had been talking to her for several minutes before yelling her name and scaring her out of her wits.. and then suggested that she see the nurse. Apparently she was pale, looking a little thin and all together listless.. but then who wouldn't be.. She tried.. really hard.. to not be upset about Braden being gone.. but it was really hard not to when she barely knew a thing, had no idea where he was or if he was alright, and waiting with baited breath until his next check in point. She played games with Skeeter, read books, talked on the phone.. did all those things.. but it was hard to keep distracted with worry weighing on her mind. She followed Skeeter out to the car and was quiet on the ride home, her knees drawn up and her gaze out the window as she half listened to Gia chatter away about whatever it was she was going on and on about. By the time they got back to the apartment buildng, she was annoyed, and shoved out of the car before he had even shut it off, throwing her bag over her shoulder and stalking over to the elevator, her expression stormy as she waiting for them to come and for skeeter to put in the entry code. Once they were inside, she immediately went for her room, not saying a word and not really sure if she wanted company or if she wanted to be alone.. just knowing she needed to have a moment. She tossed the bag in the corner and threw herself on the bed, flat on her stomach, then curling up on her side with a pillow, tears swimming in her eyes. It had definitely been too long since she had last seen Braden.. and she had no idea how she would make it through eleven more weeks.)
