A little shorter than I had originally wanted it to be, but overall I like it.
Don't own anything associated with Teen Titans.
At this moment, Jinx wanted nothing more than to destroy something. There's moments in life which you simultaneously regret and revel in the second they unfold. This was one of those moments. But Gods, how she felt destructive. And all because of him. He didn't even say sorry, the bastard. Although she could hardly blame him for not stopping to explain. That would've gone well, "Oh by the way, I'm breaking up with you, so I can return to my real team, which also happens to be your team's sworn enemy."
No, Jinx realized, she wasn't angry because he hadn't apologized, she was angry because she didn't know if he'd meant it or not. Was it all part of the plan or did it just snowball too fast for him to stop it? She hated herself for wanting to know, because it didn't matter (but really it did.) And now because of his screw-up, his mistake (not hers, it couldn't be hers), he was always there. And he uprooted everything she thought he knew about herself when he left.
No matter who she was with, in the back of her mind (really, it was the front if she was honest with herself), he was always there. Why he couldn't have just stayed was beyond her. He could've been one of them. Being a criminal really wasn't so bad. And damn it if she could still hear his voice in her head, "I could've been a lot of things." And that caused her to wonder if the same could be said about her. She couldn't help but wonder if she had a choice other than bringing bad luck to whoever she came across.
She found herself lashing out at people, becoming angry for no particular reason. Once upon a time, she'd controlled it, held it in. She used to be able to protect people from the curse of knowing her, but even that was slipping away. Nowadays, she couldn't even protect her from herself.
She could say that she didn't know why. That it was sudden and unexpected and she had no idea why it was happening. But since most of what she said was a lie, she made a point of not lying to herself. And she knew exactly why. Because she wasn't the same person she used to be, because God help her, he'd screwed her up inside.
Suddenly she didn't know where she belonged. She didn't feel like she belonged anywhere anymore. Was she destined to be bad, or could she be a good kid, following all the rules? She wasn't sure anymore. She'd always felt her only place in the world was with the delinquents, it was the only way she felt alive, and now all this was being flipped upside down with a couple of insincere words? Well, fuck that. She never has and never will be that kind of girl.
Damn that stupid Cyborg. And it seemed to her that her anger was finally directed towards it's rightful target. And it felt so natural to feel so angry that she knew that this was how it should be. Him with the Titans and her with the Hive. She'd just have to make sure to kick his ass good the next time they fought, so he knew it, too.
If you're in the mood, let me know what you liked/didn't like. Or anything good or bad. I'm open to any sort of feedback. I am aware of the fact that endings aren't my strong point, so any advice anyone would like to offer is also appreciated. Thanks, Rubiks Cubed.
