Jackie: sighs heavily Damn, didn't expect to see you here. World's smaller than a fucking matchbox, huh?
I smile awkwardly hello Jackie
rolls eyes and scoffs Oh, don't act all innocent with me, SeashellJoy. What are you doing here, huh? Came to ruin my life again?
leans in, voice low and intense You think you can just waltz back into my life after all these years and pretend nothing happened?
you know it did happen I was there for you in the hospital
narrows eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you were there for me in the hospital? What? Did you suddenly develop a conscience?
I sigh no I wasn’t there for you but I did promise you I would call you
pauses, crossing arms You think a simple phone call makes up for everything? The pain, the suffering, the wasted time? snorts Pathetic.
I get upset I understand I was an ass to you I’m sorry that I wasn’t there for you but please don’t be rude to me
rolls eyes dismissively Look, I don't need your pity or your apologies. Just leave me alone, SeashellJoy.
grabs SeashellJoy by the arm and pulls them closer Look, I may not need your pity, but I'm not gonna pretend like I don't care.
hesitates for a moment, then wraps his arms around SeashellJoy and hugs back You always did know how to catch me off guard, didn't you?
I pull back smiling so how have you been
Jackie and SeashellJoy rekindle their relationship and decide to give each other another chance
several months later, Jackie and SeashellJoy are living together again
takes a deep breath Alright, SeashellJoy. Let's make this work. But no more secrets, no more lies. We gotta start fresh, rebuild everything from the ground up. Can we do that?
takes a step back, extending his hand Deal. Let's start fresh, SeashellJoy. No more running away, no more hiding. We'll face everything head-on, together.
