Against Wishes

Gabe walked to Autumn then, knowing that she would have been shocked by all this. But when she looked up at him, he did not expect to see the anger in her eyes as she bit out," I don't want to do this."

Before he could question her about her abrupt statement, Autumn stood up and rushed out of the courtroom, leaving him standing there askance. 

Silently, he packed the filed in front of him and followed her home, knowing that is where she would have gone. As expected, he found her sitting in her room, hugging herself. He cursed himself then. He should have given her more of a warning. "Autumn?"

She said nothing, sitting frozen as if she were a statue. "Autumn, I understand..."

She shook her head vehemently then, turning to look at him accusingly, "You don't understand. If you did, you would not have..."

Gabe frowned. What was this about? Hadn't Autumn been prepared for this? " Fine, what is it that I don't understand?"
