A boy walked through the woods, wearing a rock into shreds in his hands. Something weaker wouldn't have sustained the strength that little Jack had in his arsenal.
I was a fool for what I thought was love
And I tried my best to keep up what we had
We had a vision, no, I had a vision
And now I've to see that the vision is dead
Mathematically, it all made sense. Or, rather, none of it is. Love is not a math problem and it has no formula. Not any of the formulae in the world could come close to defining love. Jack had thought he had, with Brianna, but he had been wrong. A wrong fool, that's what became of Computer Jack, the child genius and smartest kid around Coates. A fool. A fool for love.
One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me not me
One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me not me
Brianna. What did she have instead of a heart? Ice, maybe? Jack knew that logically that was impossible because by the nature of ice, it could not provide life. Brianna was warm, welcoming and full of energy. She was still the last one. Brianna was always full of energy. But she was a heart breaker, now, having stolen his heart and smashed it when he wasn't good enough for her. One of them hurt people. And it wasn't him.
I was romantic, so silly and blind
I told the world that true love had a name
But all that is left now is pity and shame
He had never been in love before. He had thought he liked Diana, but he had decided against that as soon as he laid eyes on Brianna. He hadn't known. He'd gone in as a naive, silly romantic. He had proclaimed his love. Brianna had cared for him when he was sick, even when she was sick too. Brianna had saved him before, and saved him again from making the wrong choices. But were they the wrong choices? Jack didn't know. He didn't know anything anymore. He was just a big bowl of self-pity and shame. How could he ever look at her in the eye again?
One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me not me
One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me not me
He had been hurt. Beaten up by the bullies. Tortured and tormented for his general nerdiness. He knew how to deal with other people hurting him, for the most part. But Brianna was almost a part of him, and he couldn't guard his heart against that. He fired the last of the rock at a nearby bole, and watched as it went though. The tree was oozing sap from its phloem much like the emotions in Jack's heart.
Dekka, why did you have to go and steal Brianna's heart?
