Jay's Blue

alternative ending #4;; long gone

Aching. Hurting. So much pain, in my chest. My fingertips rest lightly on the skin above where my heart strains itself, feeling the faltering beats. My eyes stare straight ahead, resolutely ignoring the pair on the right side of me. They're holding hands, giggling, whispering in each other's ears.

So, she came around. I knew she would. It was obvious. Why wouldn't she? You have the same taste in music, you both love to paint, you both have the same sense of humour, you're both intelligent. You're a perfect match, you two are. I hiss bitterly, making Laura look up at me and frown.

"Are you okay, Jay?" she asks. I give her a dark look, standing in my seat. She gives me a startled glance, and you furrow your eyebrows. I stalk from the theatre, leaving several disgruntled people in my wake. I am almost out the door when I hear you calling my name. I ignore you, my heart thumping loudly, betraying me. You grab my arm and spin me around. I wrench myself away angrily - go back to your girlfriend! The shout is ineffective. You stay, staring me down.

"What's wrong, Jay?"

Seething, I turn on you. I hit your chest as hard as I can, my fists flying. All this pain, crashing out of me like a tidal wave. I cannot help it. My screams tear from my lips as I do so, echoing through the empty corridors.

"I love you! I always have! Why can't you just love me back?"

You are frozen. I run away. I don't speak to you after that. You left one note with my bag when I forgot it once. It said sorry. I crumpled it up and threw it away immediately.

I don't want to go through loving you again.

Chapter eighteen. Also known as alternative ending, number three. None of these endings are true, although this one is kind of close to the truth, and I will explain why when I am finished. Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen.
