The night {Colifer fan fiction}

Chapter 6: Job well done!

Jen's POV

My doorbell was ringing persistently. Who would it be at 3 in the morning? I put on my robe and rushed to the door.

The first thing I saw were those piercing blue eyes I've been dreaming of the past few days. I could tell that he was upset. He burst into the house without saying anything.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked, following behind him.

He sat on the couch. I sat besides him and took his hands into mine.

"Colin, it's ok. You can tell me." I reassured him.

"I...I can't do this." he said, avoiding any eye contact.

I didn't really know what he was talking about.

"You can't do what?" I asked obviously confused.

"There's only so much I can take. I'm so sorry I dragged you into this. I really am."

He still couldn't look me in the eyes. And then it hit me. He was talking about us. He didn't want that anymore. He chose her over me. My entire world came crashing down at that exact moment.

"Are you fucking kidding me? How old are you? 15?"

I still couldn't believe what I had just heard.

"I..." he tried to apologize or something, but I cut him off before he even had the chance to say anything.

"No, you don't get to speak. You sleep with me, you give me hope that we can be together and now you come and crash everything down. What is going on in that head of yours? Why are you acting like that?" I snapped getting off the couch, turning my back on him and running my fingers through my hair furiously.

He scratched the back of his head before he decided to try and speak once more.

"I...I spoke to her." he hesitated.

"Oh, of course you did! That's what this is all about. She came back and all your feelings for her overwhelmed you. So you decided to run back into her oh-so-loving arms. How is that fair to me? I trusted you. I ignored all the warning labels telling me not to and you ended up playing with my feelings. Why? Because you were lonely and I happened to be around? How terribly unoriginal?" I said with my back still turned on him.

I was so mad at him. I talk a lot when I am angry and I clearly was. I had every right to be.

"I didn't mean for all this to happen. And you know I meant it when I said I wanted to be with you Jennifer." he said in an attempt to justify himself once again.

"Oh, I can see that! And what made you change your mind then?" I asked, turning to face him.

"I don't know. It's just too much for me to handle." he said.

"Oh, of course you don't. Why don't you do us both a favor? Cut the crap and go back to your wife right now."

"I need to talk to you. I still feel bad about everything I did to both of you, especially you." he said.

"Oh, do you? But guess what, I don't wanna talk to you. Not right now. Not ever. Do you even listen to yourself? You come here, tell me that you can't be with me because you talked to your wife and then you want me to make you feel better? No! You will leave right now along with your guilt and never come back. Go seek forgiveness anywhere else but here." I snapped at him and rushed into my room, slaming the door behind me.

Colin's POV

I was still sitting on her couch, conflicted and confused. I had lost them both and it was entirely my fault. How the hell did I let that happen? I wanted to turn back time and take everything I said to Jen back. We were starting something really good there and I just ruined everything.

Job well done!

I wanted more than anything to burst into her room and hug her, apologizing for being such a jerk, but I did the best thing I could do at that moment and left.
