One Hundred One Shots
Disclaimer: I do not own Jane and the Dragon. Thank You.
Note: I've had this one ready for a day or two but it took some time for it to grow on me so most likely it needs a lot of work.
Thanks to all of those who have reviewed or taken the time to read this... your support is greatly appreciated.
From the perspective of Jane...
Maybe
I didn't need anyone for anything, I had always been able to take care of myself but there was always a part of me that did not feel this way that had always rebelled at the thought. There was a part of me that said I needed people very badly, and in a way I did, I needed Dragon's and Jester's friendship as well as the friendship of Rake, Pepper and Smithy but I would never allow myself to need Gunther's friendship or that of anyone else. I could be very stubborn at times and I had convinced everyone, even myself that this would suffice but the walls I had built up had slowly been falling apart over the years. I would find that I did need people more and more, I would need the feeling of closeness. I had worked so hard to get where I was that I had let some things go, some things slide but finally I was seeing that maybe I could need people and still be who I wanted to be. Maybe I could learn to show that I did feel and that I did need and I didn't have to be ashamed of it.
