Only As Strong
Chapter 2
Oh, the Irony!
Keira couldn't remember when it started. The sad glances, the ignoring...or the avoiding, give or take.
In fact, Jak hadn't had a real conversation with her since...his defeating the Metal Head leader. So, for awhile, she thought that maybe that was it. He was just feeling akward. They had almost kissed that night. And that was after having absolutely no physical contact with each other for two years.
It sounded like a bad excuse, but she hadn't questioned it. Keira just wanted Jak to open up to her on his own.
It was only now that realized how...how...
Goddamn stupid it was! Why in the hell had she--no! This was all his fault! His not hers! Jak was the stupid one!
Yeah, that stupid ass. That stupid, stupid, stupid ass! The only reason she had gotten curious enough to come out here was because Jak had finally given her that damn converstaion that she wanted.
Oh right, and you know what it consisted of?
"Keira, I want you to stay away from the Plumbing Station for awhile, okay?"
Only after her shocked expression had he added, quite lamely,
"Just as a precaution. You know...because...Metal Heads...and they're just roaming all over the place out there...and...I don't want you to get...you know..."
Oh, she knew. That lying, evil, butt-headed, heart breaking bastard! Sig had cleared those head glowing freaks out of there weeks ago! Besides that 'unimportant' detail, when the hell had she even been or had even considered going to the Plumbing Station? Seriously, she wanted to know...and just--just--
Man, she had given him all the like to the point of almost loving that a woman could give! 'Least she thought she did...
Obviously not.
Only...Keira wasn't prepared for this. She wasn't prepared to see any of this.
I mean...DID METAL HEADS HAVE NO SHAME?! Honestly! I mean, Jak could have atleast given her some kind of...hint, so that she wouldn't have had to see 'this'.
Oh, the man was going down...his ass was hers! In a total non sexual way...pervs.
Anyway...
Author's Note:
Jynxie: Right...you people just love the anxiety, don't you? (avoids flying objects)
Muse: More or less. But you can't really ignore those expressions...I'm guessing that they're getting very non-happy images in their heads at this moment.
Jynxie: Oh, man...they really see me as being that 'sick'?
Muse: Um...yes.
Jynxie: Crap...well, anyway, R&R if you want to see what happens. I mean, does Jak get his ass kicked? What is Keira seeing that will automentally scar her for life? And...will Jynxie finally write a longer chapter and actually have a title that will go with that chapter?
Muse: I wouldn't count on it.
Jynxie: (sighs) Yeah...me either.
