if I report it I have to tell the truth or I’m just as wrong as him.”
“No, I think we need to read the student bi-laws. Also, you had been drinking that night. You can say that normally you wouldn’t make mistakes like that.”
“Yeah but, then everyone will know.”
“Gabby, just think, if he is doing this to you…how many others have there been?”
I nod my head, “I know, but what do I do?”
“Well, let me do some research, in the meantime I think you need to quit your T.A. job.”
“Russ I have to work.”
“Yeah, I know the gym just off campus is looking for a trainer/desk worker, I’ll talk to the guy. You have class with Linc right?”
“Yeah, but I still don’t want him to know.”
“He doesn’t have to, just stay with him. That jackass won’t approach you with someone else around. Okay….we are going to get you through this.” He pulls me into a hug.
I smile, “Thanks Russ. I really don’t know what I would do without you right now.”
“Just don’t find yourself alone with him.”
“What am I going to tell everyone about quitting?”
He keeps me tugged up under his arm, “We’ll figure something out. Don’t worry about that now.”
Chapter15
Linc
What in the Hell is going on with Russ and Gabby? I understand being friends, but I saw them this morning hugging in the kitchen and now out here in the courtyard. He knows I like her, what fucking game is he running? Maybe he’s just talking to her about her sister or something, God I hope so. I don’t think I can handle seeing her with someone else. I’ll try to see what I can find out in class.

I walk into Jennings class and slide into my seat next to Gabby, she looks up and smiles at me.
“Hey Gabby, everything going okay today?”
“Yeah, just still getting over this weekend.”
“Did Anna make it back okay and everything?”
“Yeah, she did. Of course she was asking me all about that wonderful cousin of yours.”
I chuckle, “Yeah, Russ has a way with the ladies.”
She smiles, “He is really a good guy.”
“So…. I may be out of line to ask this but, is there anything going on between you and Russ?”
She laughs, “God No! He’s just a really great friend. I can’t believe you thought that.”
“Well, I mean you guys have certainly gotten kinda chummy these past few days.”
She smiles, that smile makes me melt. “Russ has just been a great sounding board…I told him I think he should change his major to Psych…Plus I think he’s falling head over heels for my little sister.”
“Oh yeah, sorry…I just saw you guys hug a couple of times…I was ugh…never mind.”
“Mr. Addison, is that a touch of jealously I’m sensing?” She winks.
I smile, “Maybe…”
About that time Professor Jennings walks in and I notice Gabby tense up automatically.
I whisper, “Gabby is everything okay?”
She nods, “Yeah, I need to drop something off to Professor Jennings after class…can you wait with me?”
I scowl a little, “Yeah sure whatever you need…”
