18Atlanta was shocked beyond belief. But a large part of her was overjoyed. Obviously the happiness didn't show as much as she felt, because a mortified look spread over Archie's once hopeful face.
Atlanta's senses were screaming at her to say something, but her body was still frozen in shock. Apparently she took to long to respond, because Archie stood up and turned around, mumbling something about having to be somewhere before he left the room.
Noticing the door being shut, Atlanta jumped up, waking from her state of paralysis.
"Archie wait"! She called. She began to leave her room until she heard the front door slam shut.
Atlanta walked over to her desk and plunked her head solidly down on the table. Not bothering to rub the hurt away she began to think.
'Nice going Atlanta, Why didn't I just rip his heart out! Why is it so hard to tell him, I mean come on, he had the courage to drop a bomb of hint on me, so why can't I do the same, he is just a guy'. … 'Wait what am I thinking!' 'Archie is more than just a guy, he is protective, even when he knows I can take care of myself, he does all the right things, even when he says all the wrong things, and he shows me his sensitive and caring side, even if it means trashing his macho reputation.' 'he's everything'.
She knew what she had to do.
And that meant chasing after a guy in a blizzard.
Atlanta raced downstairs at top speed, almost knocking overa surprised Jay. Atlanta dove into the closet, if she was going to chase after Archie, there is no piont in getting hypothermia. As Atlanta searched for her boots, Jay came up behind her, ready for the interogation.(SP?) At the last second Atlanta spun around and grabbed her jacket, missing jay's head by an inch.
"I'm going for a walk", Atlanta murmered, then turned around and ran out the door.
'wierd', thought Jay. ' better keep an eye on her'. Jay grabbed his coat and set out on foot to follow her.
