Jake: *Mouths, only half jokingly. 'I am going to die!'*
Jake: *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom style!*
Emily: *waves to the group, walking with Jake*
Emily: *stretches* It's a nice night
Jake: *Walks in silence for a bit* Yeah.
Jake: oO(How am I gonna say this?)
Jake's First Thoughts: oO(Don't say it, put it off some more man. You'll just make things worse!)
Jake's Second Thoughts: oO(Stop being such a damn coward.)
Jake's Thoughts: *BIcker like this!*
Emily: *walks in clueless silence*
Jake: So, um. Had fun dancing, right? *Nervous laugh* You kinda disappeared
Emily: Yeah ^_^;;;
Jake: What happened?
Emily: Aheh... Well...
Emily: I guess it'll get out eventually...
Emily: It finally happened :-3
Jake: *Twinge* I kinda heard
Emily: I guess we weren't particularly subtle, were we ^_^;;;
Jake: *Hands in pockets, change of topic* Em, what do you think of Finn?
Jake: *Topic whiplash!*
Emily: You have to ask after what just happened?
Jake: Yeah, I do, actually
Emily: I dunno... It's like, when I'm around him, every day is February :>
Jake: Oh...
Emily: That sounded dirtier than I intended it ^_^;;;
Jake: *Nervous laugh again! He's getting practice here*
Jake: *Sigh* I've been talking with Tansy lately, she's an interesting person. You know she's, like, wished she was with Alexis since evac? ^_^;;
Jake's FT: oO(Just quit while you're ahead, man)
Emily: I think my mom might have mentioned something like that.
Emily: She's pretty perceptive about those kinds of things
Jake: Yeah, no kidding...
Emily: Here's hoping this doesn't end up like her first boyfriend :<
Jake: *Pang, but soldiers on* She kept talkin' about hwo she regreted not doing anything or putting it off, and bam, she missed out
Emily: *nods*
Jake: *Deep breath, looking straight ahead, stumbling over his words in a haste to get this over with, like tearing off a band-aid.*
Jake: E-Em, I've got feelings for you. H-had them for ages... K-Kinda makes me your Tansy, huh? ^_^;;;
Emily: o_o
Jake: I w-was gonna tell you after the d-dance, but you just v-vanished, and then Fin was there...
Jake: *Staring at the ground, having stopped walking* I-I'm sorry. I k-kept putting it off, because you needed a friend, and I w-wanted to be there to help you, no matter what...
Jake: v_v
Emily: *mouth working, but nothing coming out*
Jake: *Eyes shut, it's like he's trying to brace himself for the inevitable 'I'm flattered, but...'*
Emily: I'm sorry v_v
Emily: I probably hurt you really badly tonight, didn't I v_v
Jake: *Even though he expected it, it didn't really lessen the blow* I s-still wanna be friends...
Emily: I do too... I just hope you can
Emily: I swear if I knew I...
Emily: I would have been more discrete >.<
Jake: *Snap* I g-gotta go.
Emily: *grabs his arm* No! Please don't T_T
Jake: *He's trying his very best to not to cry* E-Em, I know you mean w-well, but it hurts, y'know?
Emily: I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you.
Emily: You're my best friend. I don't want to lose you.
Jake: *Breaks out of her grip* I g-gotta know... Why him?
Jake: *Nervous laugh, though it's more to relieve stress* I bet he doesn't even know your favourite colour!
Emily: It... it just feels right
Emily: It's like my parents. Nobody can explain them, but it works, y'know
Jake: *Nervous laughter just kinda stops* Well, I hope you're happy together
Emily: I want you to be happy too, Jake v_v
Jake: You couldn't see I liked you, Em?
Emily: Looking back on it a lot of things make a lot more sense now, yes v_v
Jake: Heck, we wouldn't even be having this discussion if I'd known myself better a year ago!
Emily: Why did you pick Nio, then? v_v
Jake: Because I had to pick someone! You were all pressuring me to! I had to pick the person who'd be hurt most by my rejection! *Deep breath, kinda just deflates* I was only trying to do what was right...
Emily: You always did care more about us than you did about yourself
Jake: *Bitter* And what did he ever do?
Emily: *getting angry* He was there for me while you were being too nice for your own good >-(
Jake: *Realizes this, deflating once more.* What do you want me to say, Em? What can I say anymore?
Jake: I tried my very best to make you happy and it worked
Emily: Tell me you'll move on.
Jake: I'd always try and cheer you up by being that goof in the window
Emily: Tell me you'll at least try to be happy
Jake: Or trying to help you during your heat or whatever
Emily: I'm not going to leave Finn for you, Jake.
Emily: And I hope you know better than to ask me that
Emily: But I still want to be your friend.
Jake: I wish you nothing but happiness in your life, Emily, but if you want me to do what you're asking, I can't be yours
Emily: :@
Emily: Please don't say that T_T
Jake: *Isn't thinking straight, so is probably gonna say all the wrong things, tears starting to run.* What, you want to have your cake and eat it, too? The - (Cont)
Jake: The guy that would help you out, cheer you up, be more than just a pretty face? *Gasping for air, he's on the verge of an attack. The tears don't stop.* The guy that knows your favourite colour?
Emily: Is that all you think he is? -_-
Jake: *Breathing heavily* *Complete sincere, if sad* Please tell me otherwise, Em. I would like nothing more to be proven wrong
Emily: Does it matter. You're not gonna believe me anyway. -_-
Jake: *Fumbling for his sweets, the bag spilling to the ground. The only thing that spills out is hershey's kisses, all wrapped in blue.* F-for what it's worth, I promise on our friendship
Emily: The friendship you just told me you couldn't maintain? -_-
Jake: *Knows he's gonna need something bigger than his sweets after this, fumbling for the shot of insulin*
Jake: *Totally gonna miss.*
Emily: *grabs the needle* Hold still
Jake: *Yanks it back* I can do it without your help!
Emily: No, you can't... not in the state you're in
Jake: Y-yes I can!
Emily: I'm trying to help you, Jake! Quit being such a [word]ing baby! >-(
Jake: *Goes limp, tears rolling down his face* Fine. I don't care anymore.
Emily: *jabs the needle where she's supposed to as her author doesn't know*
Jake: *As soon as she's done, jerks away. Not even a word of thanks, just like he never recieved any for his efforts* N-now, tell me
Emily: Tell you what
Emily: Something else you won't believe, so you can cling to this fantasy that one day I'll come running into your arms
Emily: *didn't want Jake to die, but is still pissed*
Jake: *Shakes his head, laughing ruefully* No, Em. I want to know why, beyond it's phyiscal. I don't want you hurting yourself again like with Reiner
Emily: He makes me feel safe.
Jake: *Stunned* Safe? *Shakes his head slowly* I said I'd believe you, but sex in the coat room of a club doesn't strike me as 'safe'.
Emily: *had to resist the urge to slap him for mentioning Reiner* And he doesn't think paint is the answer to all life's problems
Jake: *Sarcastically* Yes, because I've just thrown paint at my dad and all ym woes have gone away
Emily: You keep telling yourself, whatever you want to believe. It's obvious nothing I say is gonna get through anyway. *turns to leave before she actually does slap him*
Jake: *Stands for a moment before collapsing to his knees in the rain, heartbroken.*
Jake: *Sits there, lightning crackling in the background, the rain washing the tears away.*
Emily: *goes home, slams her door, and cries herself into dehydration*
Jake: *Hopes, at least, she'll tell Finn her favourite colour. So he'll know more than her face and name.*
Jake: *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom style!*
