Chapter Sixteen
*Am Ise Ta Be Pitied?*
Jade stared at Spot long and hard for a moment before chuckling a little, and then holding her sides as she burst out into a hysterical fit of laughter.
"What?!" Spot cried, irritated. Here he was being serious, and she was laughing at him?
Jade took a couple of deep breaths and gradually her laughter subsided. She faced an angry Spot, saying, "Youse 'ave da audacity (AN: Ooooooohhhhh…. Big word) ta call me a coward, an' den claim dat youse know da secrets of my mind?"
"Yeah…." Spot said realizing that without explanation the whole thing did sound a bit ludicrous, "What's yoah point?"
"Well, youse is smartah den me," Jade twirled in a little circle with her arms held out as if she was speaking to an audience from a circular stage, "'Cause Ise shoah as hell don't know," she said once she was facing Spot again.
Spot snorted, "Dat's a lie an' youse know it."
"Ise do?" Jade asked in mock confusion, putting her hand under her chin in a thoughtful manner.
"Hmmmmmm…..Nope, youse is wrong," She said in a sing-songy voice.
Spot growled in frustration. Does she always 'ave ta be difficult? He thought, as she started twirling around and humming to herself.
Then he realized something. Jade wasn't refusing to tell him just to be difficult, albeit she was trying to annoy him by being idiotic.
She was trying to convince herself that she really didn't know why she left. In an effort to avoid the truth she was beginning to make herself believe that truth to be false.
Jade was putting on a mask and laughing because if she were to confront her own demons she would appear weak because she would break down, and that was not acceptable.
She would have gotten away with her act if it had not been for one thing. There was so much pain her eyes that no matter how brightly she smiled it could not hidden.
"Fine, den youse don't know," Spot said, giving up for now, before turning away from her and continuing on toward the Brooklyn lodging house.
Jade stopped mid-twirl and looked at him, perplexed. Why did 'e stop buggin' me about it? Wondered Jade. She had actually began to enjoy the attention.
She ran to catch up with Spot and fell in step with him, holding her hands together behind her back.
A few moments of silence later, being bored, Jade decided to play a little game. She would stare at Spot and as soon as he glanced at her she would look the other way.
Finally Spot halted and yelled, "Stop!"
"Stop what?" Jade asked innocently.
"Whatevah youse is doin," Spot answered.
"What am Ise doin'?" Asked Jade.
"Youse know," replied an incredibly frustrated Spot.
"Jist like Ise know why Ise left, right?" Jade asked slyly.
"Ise is dis close ta soakin' youse," Spot said threateningly, stepping right up to Jade.
"What's stoppin ya?" Jade asked raising her face to his, meeting the challenge.
"Ise feel sorry foah youse," Spot answered, turning away from her and continuing.
"What?" Jade asked softly to Spot's retreating form.
But he was to far to hear her and Jade was left standing in the middle of the bridge.
Am Ise ta be pitied?….. Me….?[1] Jade thought.
AN: Aaaaahhhhh!! Don't hurt me, please!! I promise that you'll get an explanation in due time!! Put that chainsaw away!!!! Please!!!! Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding!!! Sorry, I just watched American Psycho and it's kind of still fresh in my mind. Heh, heh, heh, you get to see Christian Bale's butt like five times….. : )
Oh, btw, the whole concept of Jade acting light-hearted and happy and stuff because she refused to let herself accept the truth was taken from the quote:
"We negate and must negate because something in us wants to live and affirm, the instinct that preserves us, teaches us to be flighty, light, and false."
If you think you know what the quote means write it in a review or email me, cuz I can tell ya if your right or not. (My science teacher explained it in depth about twenty different times, so I'm positive I know what it means).
I'll tell you the meaning in the next chapter I write, for those of you that don't have a clue (though it's okay if you don't cuz I had to read it about twenty times before I could understand it). Hee, hee, hee, now you have a reason to read the next chapter. Plus, you never know when I will reveal the truth behind Jade leaving Manhattan!!! Mwahahahahahah!!!!!
