Ennis (pov)

It was still a bit chilly early in the morning but that didn't slow me down as I started packing up before Jack had gotten up. Few minutes passed and I heard him walking up behind me. Probably still groggy.

I was putting the last of my things up front in the truck when Jack mentioned us meeting again in November but, once again I had to break it to him that I couldn't make it again but I wished I didn't have to. (Me) "...uh sorry Jack I.I'm taking that month off to hang with my girls, I meant to tell you sooner".

Jack (pov)

I stood there confused and a bit aggravated, which was only going to get bigger. I looked at him with a obvious look of disappointment and anger and said "But I thought we planned that a while back. Everything was good, and you wait until now to tell me!".

Ennis (pov)

Just by him starting off like that makes me realize he'd finally snapped. "C'mon Jack I got 2 girls to keep not just disappear and leave them", using the classic family excuse to sway him. "You got a better idea?" (Jack) "I did once".

I was about to come back at him till he turned away and walked off near the river bank in a rushed fashion. And that's when I cooled down and calm said "...you been to Mexico Jack Twist, cause I heard what they got in Mexico for boys like you..huh?". I sked as I walked up waiting for his answer. (Jack) "hell yes I've been to Mexico, is that fuckin problem. " I'm only tell you this one time Jack fucking Twist and, I ain't foolin. What I don't know, all them THINGS! that I don't know, might get you killed if I come to no them...I ain't jokin". With that I walked away thinking I'd had ended it till. (Jack) "yeah well try this one and, I'll say just once" "go ahead". (Jack) " tell you what, we could had a good life together, fuckin real good life, had us a place of your own but, you didn't want it Ennis!. So what we got now is brokeback mountain!!!". Everything's built on that, that's all we got boy fucking all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest. You count the damn few times that we've been together in nearly 20 years and, you measure the short fuckin leash you keep me on and then you ask me about Mexico and you tell me you'd kill me for needin something I don't hardly ever get. You have know idea how bad it gets...I'm not you I can't..make it on a couple a high out's to do ducks once our twice a year". I didn't move after, after hearing all that. "Your to much for me Ennis, selfish horse bitch".

"I wish I knew how to quit you".

Tears began to ride down my cheek but being the man I am (or was) I quickly rubbed them away and sniff loud to compress it. "Then why don't you, why you just let me be huh. It's because of you Jack that I'm like this. I'm nothin, I'm..I'm nowhere".

Jack (pov)

From how he sounded in his voice I knew he couldn't keep in his emotions and as I turned around he was rubbing he's eyes roughly. I walked up to him trying to embrace him. Ennis pushed me away but I grabbed him forcefully in an attempt to comfort him. We slid to the ground and Ennis finally broke sobbing on my shoulder as I held him there. "Damn you Ennis". "I just can't stand it anymore Jack"........
