These are only words. Please remember that. None of this is real, or maybe it is. I have some trouble making that distinction myself.
Jack couldn't help himself. He loved her. This was his downfall.
When he wasn't round at her house he would be down in his. Up in his room but down in spirit and down in heart; arms wrapped around his knees, pulled up to his chin and ready to pounce. Bed blocked the door, metal against wood, scratching paint from a couple of weeks earlier.
He would write. Letters to her, letters to himself; letters to people he wasn't sure were real. Ink met paper until the metal ball of the pen nib scratched against the surface. Buy a new packet of pens and then start again. Buy a new note book and start again.
He kept a diary when he went away with her.
Alcohol reversed the effects of the medicine.
He convinced himself that she hated him. He convinced himself that he hated her.
Coach rides. Drinks. Sex. A month of all three made him realise there must be more.
He hated her but she followed him home.
He used his bus fare to buy her roses and walked the 8 miles to her new house 6 days a week.
Is she home?
No.
Okay. I'll go.
Roses were stapled to her wall; but not even a thank you rolled across her lips.
She had a new friend.
He found his shirt on the floor one evening. He couldn't do anything. Nothing. About it.
Sex was still shit. Not that it mattered.
His heart was in tatters. Fuck it.
Bonfire night. He had had enough.
I'm not feeling well, I'm going home.
Okay. Bye.
Bye. I love you.
Bye.
fuck it he didn't deserve her anyway

"I want to go home. Or at the least kill myself. Tonight has been fucking bollocks and I hate myself for it. Jane and I went out on a walk after a few drinks and we end up on the beach. All went well until the walk back."
