“I was going to tell you...”
 “When B’Elanna?  What if Nolan never came to Voyager, would you have
ever told me the truth?”  Tom said with a tone of voice Torres never
heard before.
 She just glared at him, then spoke softly.  “ Get out.”
 “Fine with me.” Then he stormed out.

 Torres shook her head and slow dragged her body out of the bed.  She
decided to go see if Harry was around and maybe ask him for his help.
Or better yet, she thought, I’ll go talk to Chakotay. B’Elanna got dress
and headed down the hall.

 Tom sat in the mess hall thinking about how much he just wanted off of
Voyager.  He didn’t hear Chakotay calling to him.
 “Hmmmm?”  Tom looked up.
 “Something must be wrong Tom and I believe it’s about B’Elanna’s past?”
Chakotay asked with no special tone in his voice.
 “You know?  I mean about her and Nolan?”
 “I was the only person who did know.  Harry asked me to come down here
and chat with you.”
 Tom smiled.  “Harry always did worry to much.”
 Chakotay pulled up a chair and sat down across from Paris. “ She never
told anyone because it hurt her.”
 Tom gave a puzzling look.
 Sighing, Chakotay went on.  “I don’t know everything but Nolan did
something to her a long time ago and she left him.”
 The door opened to reveal B’Elanna Torres.  She looked just as shock as
Tom.  “I’m sorry if  I’m interrupting anything, but I was looking for
you Chakotay.”
 Chakotay winked at Paris and walked past B’Elanna, turned and spoke.
“Listen, both of  you.  Talk this out.  You two been through to much to
let Mr. Hunter destroy this relationship. Now, I think you two need
sometime alone.”  Then we walked out.
 Torres walked over to Paris and he stood up.
 “I’m sorry.”  They both said in unison.
 “ Tom, I should have told you, but no one knows the whole story.”
B’Elanna said with tears in her chocolate eyes.
 “B’Elanna,” Tom said as he cupped her face with his hands.  He made her
look at him and kissed her softly.  “Lets go to my place and we’ll talk
over some coffee.”  He grabbed her hand and they walked out together.

To be continue…
