He won’t leave me alone. It seems because we had some drunken nights together once we must be soul mates, destined to spend every waking and sleeping minute in each other’s arms. It’s not like I’m stringing him along for my own pleasure either, I tell him that he needs to stop his obsession with me but he just looks at me from behind that shaggy fringe and I’m always the one walking away feeling like a bastard.
I know he confides in Wayne, over a pint after a recording with a low voice and raised eyebrow, because I see Wayne watching me when he thinks I don’t see him. I find myself hoping that Wayne knows me better, and will tell Jeff to move on while he can.
Ryan warned me, said this would happen, recognised the infatuation before I did. He pointed out the lingering touches, the longing glances that would often be shot my way during a game or party. And I couldn’t resist but use that need, bend it to my own will. That’s me, the user, the abuser, the forever alone. I have no one to blame but myself.
And, myself being the only one to blame, I’m the only one who can set everything right.
So when Jeff corners me after a recording, with that lop-sided grin and persuasive voice, I’ll squeeze his hand and walk away. I won’t give any clever last lines, I won’t look back, I won’t shuffle or stumble. And this time he’ll know it’s at an end.
I know it’s the right thing to do.
The fair thing to do.
So why do I feel like a part of me is dying?
