If possible, I think this part is more heartbreaking then the previous one. If possible, I hate Margo even more for this than I do for what she did in the last chapter.
Jack is, of course, stubborn. If Sawyer waited for him for a year, Jack can wait for him, and I totally believe that. I believe that Jack would do something like that, hold out until Sawyer realizes that Jack does love him. And Margo...I find what she's doing, the fact that she's telling Jack all the things Sawyer did to him even though she's the one that set it in motion, trying to drag Jack back into his old life by guilting him, trying to manipulate him...it's disgusting and deplorable and I have to wonder how any woman can do that to her child?
However, I notice an interesting parallel between Sawyer's thoughts and Margo's thoughts. Margo thinks if she can drag Jack back to LA, he'll get over Sawyer, forget about what they had, and go on with his life. Sawyer thinks that's exactly what Jack is going to do too. He doesn't believe that Jack really loves him and Margo either doesn't believe it or doesn't care. And Jack's stuck there in the middle, in love with Sawyer, devoted to his mother despite her not deserving it, and being lied to at both ends. Poor Jack.
I also love that now that Sawyer is alone and drinking like a fish, he's relating everything in his house to Jack, something Jack said or did, how things were when Jack was there. And much like 'Outlaws', he goes off to out his issues on an animal that was probably acting on little more than it's instinct as an animal. The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess.
I love this. It's fantastic. And I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy watching Margo's plans blow up in her face. 'Cause god I hate her.
Aw, was this heartbreaking? I guess it is, because they are so disconnected from each other. The only one who is satisfied at this point is the hated Margo, though I think Jack got some satisfaction at her expense at the end. I hadn't really thought about the parallel between Sawyer and Margo, though this whole thing started with them so it makes sense. And yes, poor Sawyer, Jack has just permeated his house like a ghost. I don't think it feels like home anymore without him. And he always has to find something to get revenge on, doesn't he? I'm SO glad you're enjoying it! *hugs*
