Jack and Jill

Let me take you to world, a world like no other. A world where Jack and Jill were not siblings but in fact close friends and possibly even confidants. A world where they were not walking up a hill but instead walking down the halls of school. 

Now social convention dictates that friends should never fall for friends for once they do that, they now start risking the structural integrity of the friendship itself and risk exposing it to utter and uncontrollable collapse. ( Which is quite funny considering how most movies now-a-days are mostly based on that taboo principle)

So obviously after Jack and Jill hit the age of understanding and were introduced to the whole slew of rules within The Social Convention's Handbook, they vowed to never break that one carnal rule of unimaginable taboo, a promise that they really did intended to upkeep. 

And they did an excellent job at doing exactly so until Jack caught sight of a beauty, unexplainable and irresistible. 

And what came after that caught Jill completely of guard. 

I want you to imagine a sphere made leather skin and filled to the brim with water and sand. Imagine that sphere being placed in the center on your chest and given the ability to beat, not to pump anything through the body but the ability to just echo your hearts lub-dub. 

Imagine every single time that that sphere beats, it bounces against your ribcage and sends a spiking pain all the way through from your chest to your being. The pain that you feel becoming so strong that it echoes throughout your body chamber. An echo of pain that in its cries calls out to your soul, ever so pretty, ever so pure. I want you to feel your soul take awareness of your suffering and attempt to consume all of it but ultimately being trapped within it and becoming its victims. Becoming scarred and bruised, its light being slowly siphoned away by the darkness enshrouding it to the point that all you see through its windows are the memories of goodness. 

If you are able to command this image and all its accompanying emotions to your brain then you will know exactly what Jill was feeling. A feeling that she could not understand why it had come to pass but at the same time a feeling she could not waste time pondering on it for her time was better spent hiding the feeling. Covering it and placing it far away from the views of the likes of Jack. 

For she knows that as a friend, her revealing her feelings about him to him would be breaking not only multiple rules but at the same time be breaking her spirit as well. For in the recess' of her mind she knows very well and very clearly that  she could and would never end up with Jack. Not because of her own volition but because of the clear fact that Jack could never love her like that. 

And so she hides it, disguises it, covers it. She sits and smiles and laughs with Jack as she always had. She listens to him talking about all the new adventures and emotions that he and his new beaut have been discovering together with each other. She subjects herself to all this torture on a daily basis just to show Jack that she cares. And each and every time she subjects herself to this version of flogging, she unwittingly sinks deeper and deeper within her emotional void. 

The deeper she goes, the tighter the pressure gets around her rib cage. The tighter the rib cage, the more pain she feels when her sphere beats its echo beat. The more pain she feels the more suffering her soul endures. An endless loop that is never destined to end. A recurring set of actions that have been set in motion that will run until the end of time. 

These are the feelings of Jill, the best friend and confidant of Jack. Jill can never tell Jack about her feelings for it will cause an immediate implosion for their friendship, and seeing as Jill already knows that she is destined to be the person that Jack talks to about his beaut and never occupy the space of the beaut itself, she knows that keeping this a secret and subjecting herself to all this pain is the next best thing that can happen to her within her current situation.
