Chapter 3: two weeks later
Mom and I were cleaning the clubhouse bar when I turned around and bumped into Psycho."
"Sorry, Psycho. I told him."
"I watched as he took a quick step back."
"I then noticed that he turned and went back outside."
"I felt hurt at that."
"Why did he do that I asked myself."
" Looked over as Tammy sat down at the table."
"don't think anything of that she told me."
"Psycho doesn't like to be touched."
"He has always been that way."
"And I can see you like him."
"Don't let yourself fall for him."
"He doesn't date."
"I have never seen him willingly touch a woman before."
"But I think he likes you and he is going to push you away."
"if you like him don't let him do that."
"Thanks, Tammy."
"No problem."
"I like you and I think you would be good for Psycho."
"I also know that you are sensitive. Don't take to heart anything he says to you."
"I smiled at Tammy."
"I sat on the porch and made up my mind. I need for her to hate me. I will have to tell her to stay away from me."
"I watched as she walked down the porch steps and out to the barn."
"I followed her."
"Cindy, I need for you to stay away from me. I told her."
"Why would I want to do that Psycho?"
"I am not looking for a girlfriend, and I don't want one."
"Besides you are too young for me. And you are too short."
"You are not my type of woman."
"I didn't turn my back I didn't want him to see that he hurt my feelings. Or that I was crying."
"Whatever Psycho."
"I heard him turn and walk away. I reached my arms around the horse's neck and cried."
"Why does he not like me I wondered?"
"I see what he is doing."
"He is pushing me away."
"I can't let him do that."
"i will chase him he is going to want to be with me."
"I didn't know that he would break my heart."
"I turned and wiped the tears away. I walked back to the clubhouse."
"I walked inside and told Mom I was going home."
"I was going to investigate Psycho. I am good at finding information on anyone."
"I walked by Psycho and went straight home. I grabbed my laptop and sat in the window. I noticed Psycho looking at me."
"I found out how old he was, that he had three sisters, and his parents were dead."
"I found out his father abused them all. And since then he didn't talk much or like being touched."
"I Want to do more than touch him."
"But it looks like it is not going to happen."
"Time Cindy, it takes time."
"I can't wait until the party."
"Tammy and I are going to get high and drunk and then we will dance."
