Prologue:

She's gone. She isn't coming back. Echoed a voice in his head. And it was all his fault. He had hurt her. Hurt her too much to be forgiven for it. Why? Why did he have to do that? He had loved her so much, but he had to go off and do that.

He remembered the conversation perfectly.

They lay on his bed, her head on his chest, both breathing heavily.

"I love you." She had told him, looking into his icy blue eyes.

He hadn't been expecting it. Oh, he had loved her, but he certainly couldn't admit it.

"This is just a fling. You don't mean anything to me." He answered, voice harsh. He was afraid of the feelings he had for her. That was the only reason he could think of for saying that to her.

She hadn't said anything. Instead, putting on her Yamani mask, she got off the bed and, pulling on her clothes, walked out of the room and into the dark hallway, not looking at him once.

She had not said anything to him. It had been a week. He felt if it went on any longer, he would die. He couldn't stand the blank look that came over her features when he tried to speak to her, or when she noticed him watching her.

He was used to her smiling at him, giving him a loving look. He couldn't stand the mask. It killed him. He had loved her so much! Not the Lump, who hid her feelings, but the remarkable, passionate woman that he had spent time with. The woman that he loved.

He, Joren of Stone Mountain, was in love with the girl who used to be his worst enemy.
Okay, the first few sentences came to me suddenly while I was working on something else. I had thought it was going to make it another K/N, but as I was typing, it became a K/J. No idea where it came from.

So, did you like? Hate? I need reviews! And I know that it's really short. I am very bad about that. Sorry!!! Well, if you liked, I will soon have another chapter out. If you didn't, oh well, I'll still have another chapter out. But I hoped you liked it.
