Jessica and Connor sat across from each other at the diner. Connor looked
up and saw that she wasn't eating a thing. "Is something wrong?" Jessica
looked up and gave a faint smile. "No. What could be wrong?" Connor
shrugged. "I don't know, but usually when I take you here you're on your
second BLT by now." Jessica nodded. "I'm just not hungry okay?" Connor held
up his hands in defeat. "It's just you haven't been happy for a while now,
and I keep pretending I don't know why when I do." Jessica looked up at
Connor. "What are you talking about?" Jessica asked. "You know damn well
what I'm talking about." Jessica smiled. "Sorry. I don't." Connor nodded.
"Is there someone else?" Jessica asked. Connor looked up. "What if there
is? You're in love with someone else." Jessica shook her head. "This is
ridiculous." Connor shook his head. "No. It's not." Jessica dropped her
fork. "Who am I in love with then?" Connor took a deep breath, "My father."
Jessica sat there for a few seconds then busted put laughing. "You're
kidding right? I am not in love with the guy that used to change my
diapers." Connor rolled his eyes. "Years later can have an effect though."
Jessica couldn't believe what he was saying. "Are you completely out of
your mind?" Connor smiled.
Connor set his fork down, "You make me that way." Jessica smiled. "I don't mean to." Connor nodded. "But that's not the point, the point is know how you feel because I can see it, the way he looks at you, talks to you, and the way he smiles about and vice versa." Jessica smiled. "Connor, I want you to think about what you're saying." "I am, and the more I do the more easier it gets, because at first I was sickened and now I'm not." Jessica nodded, and pulled a strand a hair behind her ear. "Is there someone else Connor?" "Her name is Dawn, she's Buffy's sister and I think I'm in love her." Jessica looked up. "Why?" Connor looked directly at Jessica. "You have been so distant, and the major factor is that you want to be with Angel not me." "That's not true." Jessica argued.
Connor smiled. "I think we should stop seeing each other." Jessica sighed." Well that's going to be hard to do, we practically live together" Connor nodded. "I know, it'll be hard, but—" "You're breaking up with me?" Connor nodded. Jessica's eyes welled up with tears. "I love you. I really do" Connor shook his head. "It's just not enough because I hear it Jessica, I just don't feel it." Jessica stood up. "I have to get out of here. This is just not happening, so I'm going to go." Jessica then put on her jacket and grabbed her purse and ran out of the diner.
