"No one has to know…" A giggle, like a secret relationship was more fun. More tickling. Laughter, real laughter this time. A quick kiss on the nose. Eyes glinting with mischief. You look up with half-lidded eyes. A long, slow kiss on the lips. The topic is forgotten as the mood becomes more passionate.
…But what if I wanted them to? You whisper in the dark.
The ceiling can't answer you Jack.
"I miss you." Fingers curl the phone cable. A short laugh at nothing.
"Can I come visit then?" You can't stop the eager tone in your voice. You wince, waiting to be shut down. She hates weakness.
"Not yet, I'm still not ready." She says it like the house is boarded up and there is no electricity.
You just didn't want them to know.
"Why him and not me?" Your voice breaks, tears are in your eyes.
"He was there." There is no emotion in the tone.
You never asked me to be.
"I love you." She stops chopping dinner for a second, turns around, looks me in the eyes.
"I know you think you do."
You're right, I thought I did.

AN: Angst. You were warned. If anyone can guess the plot of this story-thing I will be very impressed. :) Also sort of inspired by the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
