Wasted

The smoke, around those two, has hidden their framed life.

[Jesse's point of view]

I knew it was her, Jessica, who said she missed me, but what is the point of showing that I knew... I played dumb. This definitely is not the first time something like that would happen. Although she said it a few good times, her denials followed her confessions. She lied to us. She lied to herself. But with all the lies she had in her life, in our life, the truth was never hidden away. It stood in front of us waiting for the confrontation of its existence.

Waiting for her truthful self. Waiting for the days we missed. Waiting for the 'Season's Cycles' ultimate end. Waiting...

Jessica did not say a word after that. It started again. The 'Season's Cycle'. This must be the second day. I could not help but worry about her. My words were shut with hers. She knew very well that I noticed. But it was fine because I was there. Believe. Trust. She carried them with her. "Second days/nights were not that painful" her murmurs comforted my worries with her smiles.

Maybe this all was for a good cause.

[Jessica's point of view]

I saw through him. He knew it all. I was even more embarrassed by myself because of... The cycle started again... My brain shut down. "I should be fine. It's day/night2 after all. SHE is not dying yet..." I reassured myself...

From last time, I noticed that the periods had gotten longer the cycle finished the first 3 days in one night. Could it be possible that this is going to last longer than unusually too?

I saw day four, fice, and 6 unravel one by one. As I expected, the cycle did take longer, But maybe it will finish faster this time. A good side to it. Little did I know.

I decided that after I am out of this and is in my conscious body again, I will not show up tomorrow because it will be the sorrowful ending waiting for me once again. or so I thought. I just wanted to make it easier for everyone. Relatively, easier for myself... and Jesse.

"What do you thing, Jessi?" I heard Alden Silver's voice.

I was back...

"What about?"

"Coming with us tomorrow: I, Lowell, and Leala Black."

"Where to?"

"Were you not listening! We're going to town. Are you coming?"

I wanted to go, but... "I have something to get done with tomorrow maybe la..."

[Jesse's point of view]

I could not take my eyes off Jessica. I looked at her with all my concentration. Will she really be fine? She seemed fine from the outside. Like someone who was daydreaming. She was not there.

"Is she daydreaming?" exclaimed Arthur.

"Ha..." I was not expecting anyone to ask, "I think... Let's not bother her." I tried my best to make it seem normal.

"I see~ You're enjoying yourself~" commented Enzo.

"That's not it..."

It took a little over 2 hours for Jessica to come back to her senses. It, thankfully, was when Alden asked her a question. She was back, and I was relieved.

I followed the conversation and knew she would reject him. It was not that she did not want to, but the fact that she could go into the 'Season's Cycle' was out of her hand.

I calmy was drinking my tea- in my favorite teacup- as Jessica replied "I have something to get done with tomorrow maybe la..."

"Clash" my cup fell with Jessica as she slid and fell off her chair 'Senselessly'

"Jessica!!"
