She tried to keep facing away, but couldn’t. It was so hard to stay away. She risked a glance over her shoulder and saw that Aaron was covering the crack in the window. Ed was looking at that and crying. Had he… oh no. Was staying away not enough? Was she hurting him by leaving? She’d hurt him by staying, too. No matter what she did, she’d hurt him. But she couldn’t just watch him hurt. She walked back over to Ed and sat down. She was barely in arms reach and didn’t look at him directly. This way, she could grab him if he tried to do anything. @Weaver of Lies @Scars of Hathsin Jenny was back. He didn’t know what she was doing there. Hopefully she wouldn’t talk to him. He didn’t think he could stand a confrontation. This was for best. It had to be.

Maybe she could start everything over again. Go back to the very beginning. Jenny grabbed a flower out of her bag, then wordlessly slid it across the floor to Ed.

A flower. Such a simple object, but it meant so much. And it could kill him. So much easier than jumping. He picked it up, slowly raising it towards his mouth.
Scars of Hathsin he/him Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 Aaron does not look up. I will let them sort this out, but we need to get out of here soon, before the police come.

She made no attempt to be gentle. Stupid, stupid Jenny. She’d handed him a deadly poisonous flower. Death followed her everywhere. It was no wonder people were scared of her. They should be scared.

He let her. She cared about him, still. She had given that flower to him like she had given the other to him what seemed so long ago. She was trying to help. He finally turned and looked at her with a tear-streaked face. “I’m so sorry Jenny,” he said hoarsely.

She was worried that anything she said might make things worse again. Silence might also make things worse, though. ”Do you want to stay together? We don’t have to. We can start over, if you want.” Please say yes. Please don’t leave. 13 minutes ago, RoyalBeeMage said: "hey guys can we forget about suicide for a second and go look for some lunch please?" @Weaver of Lies(nice new name) @Lunamor @Scars of Hathsin Jenny looked at Roy incredulously. That was a wildly insensitive thing to say, even for him.

He wanted to hold her, to kiss her, to just…be with her. But if he said yes, it would continue the problems. Continue the problems that he put on her. He stayed silent for a moment. Then another.

The last thing I want to do is force you to do something you don’t want to do, anyways.” Jenny heartbeat was incredibly fast, faster than it was even during the rush of battle. She was terrified that Ed would say no. Terrified that she’d be alone. Terrified that she’d get what she deserved.

I don’t wanna ignore what I want, either. I love you. I want you to be happy.” Jenny tried to shove down the feelings of hopelessness Ed’s words elicited. She couldn’t give up. She couldn’t let him sink into this dark place. He needed help, and it didn’t seem like anyone else was able to do that right then and there.

He could…he could end this now. One last, loving hug from him. Then it would all be over. ”I love you. And that’s why…that’s why I have the strength to leave. Because in the end it will be better for you.” He didn’t mention how much it would crush him. She didn’t need to know. And he wasn’t important.

He didn’t seem to understand how much she loved him. By this point, she was shaking. She was going to end up alone again. Her next word was half sob. ”Please.”

Jenny desperately wanted to hug Ed again, but he probably wouldn’t be comfortable with that. She unconsciously hugged herself instead.

Sorrow flickered in them as she saw that Ed had fallen to his knees. She meandered over to him, her body going through the motions like it was on autopilot. Her uncanny smile had faded slightly. When she spoke, it sounded like someone had started to play an audio clip halfway through. ”Pretty from up here.” She was looking at Ed, not the window. She then sat down next to him, movements somehow both jerky and smooth. A white-hot hatred seared her mind. @Weaver of Lies

And why did she sound so…unlike herself? He would make it worse. He always made it worse. How was he going to mess up now?
