Jade was never any good with this, either. And it wasn't for a lack of trying; she did. All she did was end up making things worse, or pushing people away. So it seemed better to just keep them at a distance, don't get too close, limit how familiar she gets with certain people.
But you can only maintain that façade for so long before it starts to break. Jade's did. She can feel it as the tears mist her eyes and she runs the back of her hand over them again.
"It's not like there aren't people I give a damn about... but I fucked those up, too. And that boy, he just... accepted me. Even though I was different. But I guess it was because I was different that he wanted me to stay. And I considered it. I really did. It would have been a nice dream."
Words echoed in the memory. Her eulogy to him that no one else heard.

Or, well, so she thought. Until now.
