"No I am not," I retorted, leaning AJ's head in my lap.

"Baby, that's not the way you do it, you could hurt him," Brian raised his voice slightly.

"Brian, I can do this." I got angry. Why couldn't he just let me do what I needed to do?

"Lady, just stop. You could give him a concussion!" he basically yelled at me.

"Fine! You do it! I suspect my 2 years in emergency training doesn't help! You can do it better, Littrell, I'm sure!" I fired at him as my temper rose, "You can do it all. I don't even think that you need me." In my foul state, somehow I gently placed Bone's head down and stormed out of the house. I stomped towards my car and just left. I didn't really care where I went. I just needed to be alone. Then I got an idea.

 After I finished fixing up AJ, I searched for Morgan outside. But she wasn't there. Her car wasn't there either. I instructed AJ to stay put and I pulled out of the driveway in my car. I searched frantically everywhere... Her friends' houses, her parents' house and some of the places she usually hangs out. I kept on driving hysterically, hoping and wishing she would come back to me. I wiped tears from my eyes.

If only I had let her do it, I thought wistfully. Thoughts of her silky, peachy skin trembled through my head. Her wonderful eyes and soft lips. I yearned for her laugh. I missed her sense of humor. I desired her opinions which were full of confidence and poise. Memories of her flashed in my head. I missed her and was afraid for her safety.

I was about to pass the park where the magnificent willow tree stood proudly. I stopped and just trailed carelessly down the path. I parted the branches and saw a figure.

"Morgan?" I asked.

"Go away!" she shouted coldly.

"Baby, listen. I was frightened for AJ. I was edgy, and scared and..."

"A jackass," she filled in for me.

"Jackass is a good word," I noted, "But, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I am sorry."

She sighed and sat down on a overgrown root. "It's not you. It's me. I mean, what am I worth? I don't do anything spectacular or great..."

"You are worth everything to me, Morgan and you don't have to do anything for me. You do what you feel like doing. And I know, deep in my heart, you will always love me. Even when I am, I admit, a jackass."

"I dunno," she grieved, "I am not so wonderful... Even if you say so... I want to be perfect, even though it's not humanly possible. I want to be a good friend, a good partner, a good woman. I just... Everything is so complicated and complete. I don't get it."
