Neil's POV
People cry to get rid of all their bottled feelings but I didn't. I never did.
But boy I'd be lying if I said that didn't hurt.
Hurt was a foreign feeling, one I'd never felt because no one had ever tried to hurt me.
But I, I'd hurt the only person who I wanted by my side for the rest of my life.
And that gnawing feeling in my chest, it made me realize that I'd finally understood.
I now knew how hurt felt and that I didn't want to feel this way ever again.
I lay on the bathroom floor and stared at the ceiling.
This was all my fault, wasn't it?
If not for me we'd still be friends.
She deserved so much better, yet life had been so unfair for her.
It was best for me to stop trying to mend the broken.
And Even though letting go would hurt, things could never be the same between us.
So perhaps her leaving was for the best
Because then we may never see each other again.
And she'd like that.

'Jackson? Winters?' The loud screaming brought me back to the situation at hand.
I unlocked the door to Vicky screaming 'Are you deaf? I've been screaming for a quarter hour!'
I mentally rolled my eyes, 'What happened?'
He looked at me with a straight face, 'I thought you were kidnapped and almost deployed security.'
I let out a small laugh, this man sometimes.
'What?' He demanded
'Wait- you were serious?'
'You thought I was joking?' He asked in disbelief.
'Mhm mhm' I nodded
He shook his head mumbling something to himself, 'Anyways let's look for the Jack on the Beanstalk, now shall we?'
I cursed under my breath as he looked at me expectantly grinning, ' Pun intended.'
'Don't even try again'
