He sat there a moment, before pulling his hands away from her, sighing as he did. Jack turned his head away, feeling conflicted. Feeling pained. Good on her an Six for having such a relationship to share such things, but to still refuse to tell him anything? What, did she think he couldn’t handle it? That he was weak?
Standing up slowly, Jack wiped at his nose with his wrist. “Are you thirsty?” he asked. “I can make you s-something if you are…”
Looking back up at him a moment, silently, watching his back toward her and feeling her own heart break at how he sounded.
“Jack..please understand..” She hated this how she pained another person, fourth or fifth one now, she lost count. Was she only bringing suffering to everyone?
She tucked her head in her knees, giving a shuddering breath. “I’m sorry..only making you suffer more..”
“You’re not.” Jack said, turning to look down at her, expression one of confusion and hurt emotions. “Y-you could just tell me. But you ch-choose to let it happen. You c-could tell me b-but you’re not. I don’t-don’t know. You d-do what you want, K-Katelynn. I’m just your fi-fiance. Why s-should I know wh-where you g-go at night a-and why y-you stay out a-a-all night?” chest rising and falling as his face began to stain purple. “I-I’m sorry i-if I’m making you f-feel bad but I-I have to express my f-feelings too, c-can’t I?” he asks.
“I-I’ll just stay here a-a-and wait. It’s a-all I do.” he said before turning and walking out of the room, needing to just make something to drink. Something hot. Tea. Calming tea. He needed that.
