Missing You
(Jinx x Caitlyn)
Song I thought of while making this: "I Of The Storm" by Of Monsters and Men
"Hey Cait. I've missed you," Jinx started
"It's been awhile and I've missed you a lot actually. I...I think of you everyday, but it's good to see you again."
She sighed, knowing she would get no response from the Sheriff, but tried to continue anyways.
"How have you been? It's been a while since I last saw you but you haven't changed much. You're a lot quieter now, though." She tried to joke, but it came out a lot more humorless than she wanted it too.
"Oh, I wanted to tell you how everyone's doing. Vi...she's good. She's kinda struggling with work and stuff, but you know how she is. She'll bounce back someday and be back to her kickass self. She would have come too, but she said she wasn't feeling it this time. But I'm sure you understand. And she promised she will come next time!"
She took a moment to look at the Sheriff before continuing.
"And don't worry, you're parents are doing fine too. You're mom is a bit distant, but she's still working and making cool stuff. I actually help her every now and then, but I haven't been there in a while. Your dad's not too bad off either. He's thinking of retiring soon, so that'll be interesting, but otherwise, he's doing okay."
Jinx sighed once more finding it hard to keep going. "I'm sure you're wondering how I'm holding up since you left? Well...I'm not too good, to be honest. I'm kinda miserable really. You know I don't do loneliness well, and it's been awhile since you left. And it gets so difficult to find something positive about life without you. I know you told me to always smile and stay happy for you, but it gets really hard sometimes. Really, really hard."
Jinx felt tears welling at her eyes, and had to pause to wipe them.
"Sorry, Cait. I getting all-tears eyed on you. I know how much you hate seeing me cry, so I'm gonna go now. I'll-I'll see you next week, Caitlyn. I love you…"
The tears were streaming harder down as she got up. She grabbed the flowers she had brought, and placed them on the ground around the Sheriff's boots, right next to the ones she had placed last time and the time before that.
She wiped her glistening orbs and sighed once again as she stepped away from the statue. As she walked away, she couldn't help but look back at it. It was a work of art, matching the late Sheriff's likeness perfectly in marble.
How fitting it was for the centerpiece of the Caitlyn Rosen Memorial Park…
A test that explores death and remorse. Not canon, but set in Broken Gears universe.
