HAVE COURAGE & BE KIND

“maybe i don’t WANT you to care.” she was hurt too -- emily, although telling him she could move past what had happened... was probably lying. it hurt to look at this boy she had shared a bed with. she never did that, never opened up to someone like that. and all he did in return was step on her heart without so much as a small hesitation. forgive her, she was BITTER. “we aren’t friends, jasper,” she finally mumbled. every word had to be forced. she wasn’t GOOD at this. “david and i are friends. but you and i? we’re not. i still need time.”

“i don’t see why you CARE.” a beat. “but for your information, nothing’s going on. we’re friends.”

“i can’t accept that. i WON’T.” she spent so much of her life believing that things were out of her control -- she couldn’t do it anymore. didn’t want to. “you could’ve told me. i could’ve done something.”

“if it’s the end, then let’s see it out together.”

“you said you were mine. -- i thought you were mine.”

             like a wild flower, she spent her days allowing herself to                grow -- not many knew of her struggle, but eventually all knew                of her LIGHT.

she felt stupid, honestly -- felt like an idiot for having to go to her brother with BOY PROBLEMS. this wasn’t how it was supposed to be. she wasn’t supposed to have boy problems. “ ---- i think jasper’s ignoring me,” emily admitted quietly, a frown lining her lips. “we... things -- i don’t know. i feel silly.”

“hey -- are you okay? i haven’t seen you all day.” she wasn’t WORRIED, she was just... okay. she was worried. emily wasn’t used to the cold shoulder.

“ ---- i think i messed something up, monty.”

she’s heard so much about darcy that emily almost felt as if she knew the girl -- but she was trying very hard to maintain that cool, calm, casual exterior that she was SO known for having. smile grew to be a bit more gentle as the other responded, the girl giving a nod of her head. “i learned pretty quick not to ask questions in this place. just leads to MORE questions. my lips are sealed.” the girl shifted, moving more to darcy’s side. “i’ve got a kit -- stiles made me a handy, dandy nurse thing. i think he was making fun of me, but it’s pretty useful. lift up your shirt and i’ll take a look?”

“rumor has it you’re in a little pain, huh?” and by RUMORS, she was certainly referring to bits and pieces of what she’s picked up from both harper and greenberg. although she didn’t know darcy all that well, emily felt a certain responsibility. -- she had to help somehow. “can i take a look?”

“think you’ll ever go back?” not sure i’ll get the chance. from what i hear, the survival rate around here isn’t incredibly high.
