my wonderful readers: sorry it's been so long, but between college and trouble from the fanfiction muses, my writing has been sort of lying dormant. That said, I apologize for this awful fic you are about to read; I am SO rusty. I'm also trying out a new writing style inspired by Receding Shadows (aka Lindsey), so definitely go check her out ;)
disclaimer: I do not own PLL.
crash
/the sound of ice falling/
–jason's reaction to 3x13-
His world shatters with the sound of crashing ice. All around him people are gasping and running, but all he can do is stare.
He is frozen in time.
.
.
.
When the cops finally allow everyone to go home, he darts out of the train before anyone can say a word to him. He doesn't want to talk about it (Ali). He never did.
.
.
.
Going home is not an option, so he just drives for hours upon hours on end. Strange as it sounds, spinning around in circles is what clears his head.
.
.
.
When he finally stops spinning, he lands himself inside a bar. He spends over a hundred dollars downing his sorrows in scotch before he starts spinning again. But this time it's different.
.
.
.
His mind is not cloudy enough. His senses aren't impaired enough. His pain isn't lessened. His life is not screwed up enough. It hasn't been for two years.
.
.
.
Sometimes he thinks it's his fault. Sometimes he chides himself for being a bad older brother. But most times, he's mad at himself for still being alive when Ali is dead.
.
.
.
He doesn't know how late it is when he finally gets home; he honestly doesn't care. No. The only thing on his mind is getting some sleep in order to try and forget what happened earlier. Of course, life is just never that easy.
