"It's 5:30, Jade."
"No. It's 5:28. Thank you so much for being my clock," she scowled, rolling her eyes. She folded her arms, as she said, "What's your point?"
"My point is this is the third time this has happened this week. It's Wednesday."
"Again, thank you for being my clock and calendar. What's your point?"
"Do you seriously not get it?" Beck huffed, his hands tearing at his hair.
"Obviously," she scoffed, beginning to pick at her fingernail.
"Do you know how scary it is, to wake up to find your girlfriend gone, at 3am?"
"No, because I don't have a girlfriend."
She expected at least a smirk from him, as she thought herself quite witty, in that instance; she got nothing but a stern frown.
"Do you really think this is a fucking joke?"
"Do you see me laughing?"
She could tell she was getting under his skin, just as she liked to do; she enjoyed challenging him, revelled in it, even. She liked to pick little arguments, very carefully, mind you, just to keep him on his toes. But soon she realised: she'd picked the wrong one.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" he spat, slamming his burning fist against the metal wall of the RV. "I lie here, worrying whether you're even alive, and you come back here, strolling in, and try to make comebacks? It's not on, Jade! I'm sick of it."
"So you wanna break up?"
"I didn't say that!"
He was panting now, his chest heaving in and out, while hers was heavy, deflated, defeated.
"I'm going for a walk," she announced, disregarding the fact that she'd been walking for 3 hours anyway. She slammed the door shut behind her, the silence resonating.
