Chapter 182: Argument
There wasn't any real reason he chose to follow her. Merely just wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything wrong. After all, unless she chose to leave their group, like Sonya and Heather did, her wellbeing was the concern of everyone in the group.
However, that didn't mean Jonas knew what to say to Kim. He felt clueless as to how to even broach the subject, but felt he should anyway, no matter how awkward he made it. Doing anything else would be tantamount to forsaking someone on the team just because he felt uncomfortable helping them.
So, when Kim stopped running, Jonas was finally able to catch up. Although, she had started to worry that he was going to drop from exhaustion himself before that happened.
Still, now that they were face-to-face, so to speak, since Kim hadn't turned around yet, now was the time to say something. Anything. So long as it actually came out in a coherent manner.
Yet, still, Jonas couldn't bring himself to say anything. He hadn't felt like this in about 17 years since he'd been hit over the head and lost chunks of his life. Not that he'd admit that happening. Just that when he woke up, he couldn't find the words to tell the people in the hospital what happened wor why he wouldn't tell them his name or where he was from.
Shaking his head, to get rid of the unwanted resurfacing memories, he made his mind focus on the woman in front of him. The one who he could tell was in a difficult position, not that he had any clue as to what to do about it, or if he even should do anything.
"What do you want?" Kim demanded, her voice sounding more tired than angry, which was what Jonas would have expected her to be.
"Just making sure you're okay," Jonas answered simply, happy that Kim started the conversation off. "You kind left suddenly."
"Well, I'm fine," Kim snapped.
"Want to talk about it?" Jonas asked, acting like he didn't hear her response.
Kim sighed, her annoyance clearly rising. Then after a moment she turned on Jonas, jabbing her pointer finger into his chest, forcing him to take a step back as she stepped towards him. Although, he mostly moved back to Kim wouldn't feel like he was there to just force her to open up. He merely wanted to make sure she was aware that there was someone she could talk to, even if that person wasn't someone she exactly liked.
