âYouâre never in the mood, Jakey. Sometimes I wonder why you even keep me around,â she said with a dramatic sigh, picking up her glass to take a sip of the dark liquid. He was probably asking himself the same question right about now, but she hoped he was to nice to agree. âI donât really get it then. Shouldnât you be happy itâs over if you didnât see it going anywhere?â Blue sobered slightly when he brought up the actual reason why things had ended between them, her eyes quickly dropping to avoid his. âOh, please, I wasnât even that mean to her. If Iâd given her a hard time then maybe I could see where sheâs coming from, but I was on my best behavior. She had no reason to hate me that much. Itâs not like I gave her any reason to see me as a threat.â The second reason pissed her off even more than the one that concerned her. She might give Jacob shit about his save the world shtick, but she never so much as implied she wanted him to change in any way. Because she didnât. âSheâs an idiot. The girlâs a socialite. Is she aware that thatâs not a ârealâ job? She makes a living of showing up places and socializing. At least youâre trying to make a difference.â
âYeah, Iâve been wondering the same thingâ Jake replied with a forced smile before it simmered right back down to a frown. Of course he knew why he kept Blue around. She mightâve been difficult but they were the same in a lot of ways. They werenât part of the socialites despite how much Blue tried. She wasnât them. And that might have been the most beautiful thing about her. âYou never call her by the right fucking name, you never even gave her a chance. Itâs over, you donât gotta lie about how terrible you were about herâ There was no point. Most of the time he tolerated since it never got out of hand but right now he found it a little annoying that she wanted to pretend she was perfectly nice. It was fake. Something Blue never wore very well. âYou know she mightâve been a socialite but she tried to help people, she really did. So can we not turn this into trashing my ex because that ainât what I want to do. That ainât what Iâm about.â
