So here's to everything coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Morning came, and with it, the sense of glass about to shatter. They woke, made breakfast, every movement quiet and hesitant, unsure of what the future held and how they were supposed to navigate it. What happened next? Only time would tell, and it was a morning spent waiting for the precarious truce the pair had formed the night before to fall to pieces once more.
The moment came when Jude looked at her from across the table, so close and yet so far away all at once. His eyes - so beautiful, so emotional - were large and sad, and Soh hated herself for being the cause of it. Even so, a small part of her rebelled against the sorrow. She might have started the fight, but Jude had disappeared on her, and she had every right to be upset - didn't she?
She didn't know how to do this, how to be vulnerable in this way, and it showed in the way her eyes dropped to the cup of water that sat before her, the way she started to toy with the glass. Still, surely she owed it to Jude to be honest, after everything? "I was angry," she admitted. "I'm not now, and I understand why, but at the time - you'd disappeared, Jude," she said softly, almost pleading, her own silver gaze wide with pain. "I thought - I don't know. I was just - stuck, waiting on you, and it felt so - so lonely." She took a sip of her water, trying to ground herself. He was back now. He was here. But for how long? whispered a voice in the back of her mind. She soldiered on. "It wasn't just that you left, it was that you didn't write or... anything, not even to let me know you were alive." A single tear trickled down her cheek, and she swiped at it angrily, trying to keep a hold on her emotions. "And now I get it, and I'm not mad, but it was - it was hard, being without you. You're still my best friend, and I guess I just... I don't know if I'm still yours."

Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore
