Electric Purple 16: apologize
Author: Kat
Title: apologize
Story: Shine Like It Does
Colors: Electric purple 16 (I have stood here before inside the pouring rain/With the world turning circles running 'round my brain/I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign/But it's my destiny to be the king of pain (The Police- King of Pain)) with shipwreck_light's paint by numbers (Jack knows who he is. Sometimes, he knows it all too well.)
Supplies and Materials: Miniature, modeling clay (uncomfortable conversations), novelty beads ("My rock candy passion is bittersweet/And armed to the teeth." The Yacht Club, Owl City), oils (always falling behind), glitter (Sad, Maroon 5).
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Jack leaves Samantha.
Warnings: internalized ableism.
Notes: none for this.
"It isn't you," Jack says, spreading his hands, and shit, she's crying already, big heaving sobs that redden her face with tears.
"What is it then?" she chokes out. "Why can't we be together?"
Because, he wants to say, because I love you just enough to save you, and not enough to stay. Because I'm crazy, down and up like a fucking jump rope and you can't handle that roller-coaster ride. Because you're way too invested already and there's no way this can end well. Because I'd break you before we were done.
All he does say is "I'm sorry."
