Just a Moment
A/N: Another Drabble Series because obviously TIIC won't do it right.
Moment One: I Miss You
Set: After Christian and John get into a fight over Talia. John finds a moment with Natalie as she leaves.
"Hey" He calls her, needing a moment, just another moment.
She pauses, the streetlight casting shadows about her.
He doesn't know where to start, doesn't understand how this ended. It's all so muddled now, and she is hazy beneath his gaze. And he wonders how she slipped through his fingers.
"Its okay, John, really." He knows its not. She draws herself away from him, a moth escaping the flame. "You could tell me, you know."
"I know."
"I just…" She fumbles for words. "I miss you."
He watches her walk away, an old wound rips anew. "I miss you, too"
