"Forget December"
By: Sirius
Rory hesitantly stepped onto the bridge and slowly walked over to Jess's hunched form. His feet dangled off the edge and his face was sorrowful. His cold shoulder only added to the chilly wind that cut through her many layers of clothes. Snow crunched under her feet and when he heard her approaching, he stood up and began to walk away.
"Wait. Jess, hold on a second." Rory hurried after him, careful not to slip on the ice, and he stopped, but his back continued to face her.
Figuring that he wouldn't turn around even if she asked him to, she moved so she was standing in front of him. He looked downward and his forehead was creased with worry and pain.
"Jess . . ." Rory said softly. His shoulders tensed at her voice, but he didn't look up. "Jess, look at me, please."
"I am looking at you. Your shoe is very intriguing."
"Will you look at my face please?"
His neck slowly extended and he stared her straight in the eye. Her damp eyes were pleading with him.
"Why'd you do it?" He asked softly, his breath coming out in a visible white cloud.
A single tear slid down her chapped cheek and flowed down to her neck.
"I'm not sure."
"You should have told me."
"I know," she affirmed.
"Did you think I wouldn't care?" He was getting angry and she could tell. Well, maybe not angry, but definitely frustrated. His voice was elevated and he sounded fierce.
She exhaled quickly and her face constricted with grief. The tears were coming quickly now and she couldn't do anything to stop them.
"I knew you would care. That's why I couldn't tell you!"
"But I'm your friend! I'm supposed to care!"
"Well maybe I don't think of you as just a friend anymore!"
His face lost all emotion except for pure shock. Her eyes bore into his and she nervously tugged the collar of her coat up around her neck. His voice cracked and he stared at her. "Oh."
(A/N: Hey. I wrote this in about 10 minutes when I got home from school today. I have no idea what to do with it, but the line about "your shoe is intriguing" came to me in Study Hall so I figured I'd see what happens. If I get any ideas, I'll update, but this might just be a one-parter. Thanks for reading!)
