he can’t give her what she needs. maybe that’s it. the reason why he doesn’t call. why he doesn’t stick around for more than a day or two at a time. part of him doesn’t want you to care for him. he’s no good for you jo. for anyone. you deserve better.
—— &yet, he can’t seem to stay away. you’ve got him hooked better than you think.
“ uh yeah—- —- yeah yer mom called us up. said she had somethin’ for us. figured we might as well swing by. “
she deflates a little ; not visibly, but palpably. what, did you think he missed you? stopped in just to say hello? she should just let him go. realize they lead differ -ent lives and stop acting so … . childish. like a school girl with a crush on someone inaccessible.
she keeps her brave face on like a good girl, &god, sometimes, she hates him. it’s like she’s completely fine, and then he just shows up, and it’s game over. like a sucker punch to the gut two seconds into the fight. you know it’s over.
❛ funny. she didn’t say anything to me. wonder why.❜
