    To Love and To Forgive. Empty To Love and To Forgive.

    ~FLASHBACK~

    Hoyt knows that love doesn't die that easily. The feelings just don't go away, not even when the one you love does something horrible. There's pain, there's sadness, and there's shame ā€“ but underneath it all, there's still love.

    He's wounded from everything ā€“ from his mom and the craziness going on in town, to Jessica herself. Hoyt knows that he can forgive them both, but he only wants to be with one of them right now, and Jessica is nowhere to be found. He starts to worry. Maybe he's hurt her too much this time; perhaps he's screwed up and she's never coming back. That's definitely the last thing he wants to happen.

    So he walks. He doesn't really have a home anymore. He can't go back to his mother. He may be forgiving, but he feels justified right now, and he will not back down from his convictions about his daddy.

    He walks down the road toward Shreveport. If anything, he can head out to the 24-hour gas station and buy a chocolate bar and a Mountain Dew. He's definitely earned the indulgence, and he doesn't care about his low funds right now. He's so weary he can't even think, and if Hoyt doesn't distract himself soon, his thoughts will cause him to cry.

    He's done enough of that. He has to be a man now, being out on his own.

    The night air is chilly against his skin, and it reminds him of when he holds Jessica's hand. He just hopes she's okay, and more than anything, he hopes he can find her again. He busies himself with fantasies of her ā€“ of scooping her off her feet and going apartment shopping. He thinks about taking her to Merlotte's and while she's waiting for her True Blood to heat up, he'll get down on one knee and ask her to accept his hand.

    He daydreams that she laughs, and that she says yes. So many dreams of there wedding day, maybe he should ask Vampire Bill to marry Jessica, she could pretend that she was human? He could vote for Vampire marriages. They could adopt

    Hoyt closes his eyes and lets out a sigh. When he blinks, he looks around and realizes his reality again. The night is still cold and spilling into the morning. He's still homeless and alone.

    His feet start to drag in the dirt and he can feel the soles of his shoes sifting noisily with each step. He had to find Jessica, with his momma going crazy, the whole town is in an episode of X Files, except with everyone having sex with each other.

    Hoyt continued his soul searching journey to find Jessica, he had too find her....

    "Jessica, where are you?"
