I always knew Jackson Rippner was cold. I'd known it the minute he threatened to kill my father on the plane all that time ago. And now I was sat on the bed wondering why the hell I had allowed myself to open up and trust him, knowing full well he was a monster. Nothing more, nothing less. I suppose in the time between him forcing me to go with me and when he'd kissed me so passionately, I'd convinced myself that there was something worth sticking around for. A part of him that was worth saving. I learned the hard way that you can't save people like Jackson, no matter how much you try.

(Earlier on)

I lost track of how long Jackson had his lips on mine and frankly, I couldn't of cared less. All I could think about was the electricity that seemed to be coursing through his hands onto my hips, where they were positioned and the feel of his mouth expertly moving down my neck. It was when his mouth had made its way to the bottom of my neck, and had intentions of moving further south, that I snapped to my senses. What the hell was I doing? Not too long ago, I was still recovering from the traumatic experience that Jackson had inflicted on me, resulting in living in fear for months and months. By this point my hands had entangled themselves in his brown hair so I gently pulled him to face me. His expression was one of a somewhat offended puppy.

I swallowed, attempting to regain some moisure in my mouth. "Uh J-Jackson?"

"Yes, Lisa." He rolled his eyes. Patience, I learned, was not his strong point.

"I'm confused. What... what does this mean exactly?" I turned my face away and held my breath waiting for his response.

"Does it have to mean anything?" Completely unexpectatedly, my heart sank in my chest. If I had a choice, I would definitely not engage in romantic relations with Jackson Rippner but seeing as we'd been through so much and things had been so fucking rough, I would at least expect something that held more weight than us resembling horny teenagers making out.

"Are you serious?"

"What were you expecting Leese? A declaration of my love?" He tipped his head back slightly and laughed. You heard me, he laughed. After everything he put me through and he was still unable to treat me with a bit of respect. Disgusted, I put my hands on his chest and pushed him backwards, sliding off the desk that he had lifted me onto.

"No thanks. I'd rather jump of a cliff than hear you say you love me." I began making my way to the corridor hoping to find a bedroom or a bathroom even just to get away from him. Jackson had other ideas as he reached out, grabbing my wrist and spinning me round.

"Bit harsh. What's wrong with you?" I could see the amusement flaring in his eyes.

"I'm done with you Jackson."

"Seriously? You thought I kissed you because I loved you? Oh Leese, I-"

"Don't patronize me. I couldn't give a fuck if you loved me or not. It seems I just made the mistake of thinking you actually cared about my feelings. But I guess you were thinking with your dick. Silly me." For once Jackson didn't say anything, his expression just fixed in a state of shock.

"Hold on a second. Jackson Rippner is speechless. Oh wow. You know what? After everything you've done to me, I would've thought you'd have the common courtesy to just leave me alone rather than kiss me on a whim and say it doesn't mean anything." My heart was thumping painfully in my chest. In that moment, Jackson was the picture of innocence. Who would of guessed that he ruined my life? I could feel my eyes flooding with tears. Don't cry, Lisa. It makes you look weak.

"Goodbye Jackson." And with that, I walked to the front door and out of his life, hoping that it was for good this time.
