the prophecy

the girl with the tattoos

After laying down for a minute, lost in her own thoughts, she decides to get up and have a wander around the town, its all still new, and whatever wall was built up had quickly crumbled after her arrival.

It was unusual, but she wasn't fussing.

She figured she should go find lucia, she seemed pretty pissed at her, and she wasn't sure why, was it the kiss? Was it how she had been acting on the road? Or how she seemed too trusting of this community.

She didn't know what she did to make lucia pissed.

But it would probably be best to go talk things out either way, jess remembers always apologising or being as kind as possible before everything had started, what happened? why is she like this? why does she always ruin things, why does she always get everyone hurt? why can't she just stop?

She tries to calm down before stepping out her house, she thinks of how she's going to watch donnie darko later when it gets dark, that should take her mind off things for a while.

She steps out of the house and shields her eyes, it's not sunny, and yet it still feels blinding.

She starts walking over to where lucia's house is, is she even in? worth a try.

She knocks on her door and nervously taps her foot as she waits for an answer.

"Coming!"

She hears from behind the door.

After she opens the door her smile falters "Oh, it's you"

"Yeah, hi- uh sorry for just showing up like this, but could i maybe come in? i wanna talk" jess asks

Lucia sighs before opening the door "come in"

She shuts the door behind her and walks around "nice house" she whistles

"Yeah."

"Can i-"

"Sit down." Lucia points to the couch

"You read my mind" she chuckles, she quickly stops though and sits down.

Lucia sits next to her and folds her arms, crossing one leg over the other.

"So, what do you want" she asks

Jess sighs and turns to face her, her leg nervously bouncing constantly.

"Are you, mad at me?"

"What?"

"Well- You've been acting pissed off with me ever since we got here, and i don't know what i did but i wanted to say sorry. so, i'm sorry." she says

She scoffs "you know what? yes, yes i am pissed off with you, i just didn't wanna tell you"

Jess' leg continues to bounce nervously as her expression falters.

"Well uh- care to elaborate why you're pissed?"

"Sure. i'll tell you why, when we were on the road you'd just ignore me, like you didn't even care about me, i was, so loyal to you. and you didn't even care, and then when we kissed you just randomly got pissed off and ran off."

"I-"

"And then we get here and all of a sudden you're all sunshine and rainbows, like nothing happened out there? i don't get you. i mean i get you just lost your best friend but you're not the only one who's lost people! i lost my family, i lost tommy too, and then we lost gabe, he left because of you, and you know what? i'm starting to realise that he was right about you, you only care about yourself-"

"That's not true."

"Yes it is, i was loyal, i comforted you, helped you feel better, and what did you do for me? absolutely fucking nothing."
