                            The bell above the door of the cafe chimed,   and a blonde head turned.
                            Cerulean eyes brightened as they always did when he entered a room,
                            a smile lighting up delicate features as each stride brought him closer to
                             their booth. With every step, her gaze noticed the slump in his posture,
                                     the  a v e r t e d eyes and hand-filled pockets of his hoodie.

                                                                               “Jack?”
                                                                  cautious voice sounded
                                          as he seated himself beside her, rather than across,
                          causing a sudden wave of  h e a t  to cover her pale face when his arm
                        brushed hers accidentally. His name and her tone of concern was all it took
                                                                   for him to begin his rant. 

                                                        Elsa wished she could be surprised,
                    but this girl that he had been on-and-off dating for years had a habit of breaking
            his heart every few weeks. Somewhere along the way, Elsa had found herself becoming
        a shoulder for him and at some point she had realized why– it was simply better than nothing.
        As she always did,  she would listen,  patch him up,  and then watch him fall back into her arms
        once more. It had become a habit by now, an ADDICTION.    The small amounts of attention and
        affection she could give and receive when he was   s t a r v e d    for it was something she had
                          become dependent on. Days without it were awful, nights were worse.
                                               And so she would cherish what time she had
                                                                 before he was once again
                                                                  PULLED from her grasp.

      He knew she’d be hanging around here somewhere. It was always at
        this café, in this booth, on this time. She was always here —- always there for him.

    Arms  touched  &  within  an instant, he could swear his heart  rate  shot  up,  but  Jack  knew
    how to  hide it. ❝ Fucking HATE my Chem class, ❞  he cursed,  ❝  I’m going to fail it, I swear
    to God. Why the fuck does it have to be so hard?!   Like, I get that  I  need  it,  but   Christ,  it’s
    like all my professor is doing is just feeding us shit that won’t even be  on  the  damn  test!!  ❞

           He sighed & folded his hands. ❝ They might even cancel my scholarship if I don’t pull
                 myself together. & my mom would have a harder time bringing Emma to college.  ❞

     He was frustrated, even though all the information that he  just  spat  out  was  three-fourths
     true. Yes, he was having a hard time & yes, he was probably going to fail, but no, he didn’t
     SPECIFICALLY need Elsa’s help. He was saying these things so that he had an excuse to
     talk to her; & yes, he was that desperate to have a conversation with her, to have a moment
     with her, to have her patch him up because wanted her to – because HE WANTED HER. It
     was just like that: Jack was pathetic.

                                                                             He just wanted Elsa, really. Just Elsa.
