Part  One - Emily

It’s been two weeks since she told you she didn’t love you. Two whole weeks.

You have no idea how you survived this long.

You suppose that burying yourself in work and then drowning yourself in scotch as soon as you get home would be the adequate answer.

You thought you knew her, you think bitterly as you play ( Read more... )

Part Two - JJ

You have no idea what kind of reaction you were expecting when you told her, but surely not this.

This… nothing.

She doesn’t move a muscle. Not even her lids are twitching. She just looks at you, her face slack and expressionless, her eyes merely reflecting the light of the lamps on the wall.

You’ve never seen her ( Read more... )

Part Three - Emily

You don’t turn to look at her as you tell her to go, because you know her eyes would be your downfall. The hands on your knees are starting to tremble and you know it won’t be long before you break. You desperately want her out before you do.

You know that she knows she hurt you, but you refuse to let her know just how ( Read more... )

Part Four - JJ

You stand in the corridor of her apartment and somehow you can’t bring yourself to go. You know you should, she explicitly told you so. Almost begged you, even.

You shudder, remembering her voice. It sounded so empty that your heart broke all over again. And the knowledge that you were the one who took the feelings out of ( Read more... )

Part Five - Emily

She’s nervous, you can tell from the way her hand plays unconsciously with your blanket.

She seems about to tell you something, even though you have no idea what she could possibly say to make this whole fucked-up situation any better. Most probably she’s just going to apologize again.

At that thought you feel the by ( Read more... )

Part Six - JJ

She looks at you and tears are falling from her dark lashes again.

You want to reach out to her, to brush them away, but the expression in her dark eyes keeps your hands in place.

You should have expected it, but the fear you can read in her dark eyes, hear in her tone, sends a sharp jolt of pain through you.

She ( Read more... )

Part Seven - Emily

She tells you she loves you. More than anything. And her eyes bore into you, as if trying to make you see only through the intensity of her look. She tells you that what the two of you had felt so perfect it scared her. So much that she ran. She’s squeezing your hand tightly, almost as if to show you that she’s here now. A quiet ( Read more... )

Blurry Shadows on a Wall of Glass

It’s late, well past midnight and still you can’t sleep. You’re wide awake, staring at her face as the moonlight makes her honey hair shimmer a pale, almost silver colour.

She looks like a vision, like some enchanted creature from another world. In this light, at this time of night, she almost looks ( Read more... )
