Venting To Maui 

Chapter 25

Maui's POV

  I'm just working on some homework in between classes when Jack comes through the door, plopping right onto his bed face first. I frown at the sight. Jack only ever does this when he's depressed, angry, or both. I bet it's because he told Ariel that truth about what he did at the party and that she didn't take the news very well. "You told her didn't you?" He mumbles a "yeah." I sigh. "She didn't take it well did she?" He mumbles back a "no" and groans into the pillow. He does this for several minutes before sitting up and looking at me with a tear stained face. "Maui, I really fucked up. For the first time in my life I had a decent girlfriend and I blew it. She's disgusted by me. She can't even look at me, let alone speak to me." I go over to his bed, sit down next to him, and wrap my arm around in him a way that bros often do to their bros. 

  "Jack, I don't mean to be the cop here, but did you really expect her to handle the news that her boyfriend made out with the guy who drug raped her and is the enemy of all of her friends?" He sighs and holds his head in hands. "No I wasn't expecting her to take it well at all, but thank you for so kindly rubbing the fact in my face." I sigh back. "I didn't mean for it to come out that way. Jack I'm in your corner man. You're my bro, but Ariel's a great girl and she can't have a guy who does things like that to her." Jack nods in agreement. "Here's what you need to do. Give her some space for a few days or so. Let her come to you, don't go to her. Hopefully once she has some space, she'll feel better and be ready to talk then." 

  Jack looks at me with pure sadness and my heart breaks for him. I know that it's mainly his fault that this is happening, but he's still my best friend. It pains me to see my best friend in pain. I just hope that Ariel comes back to him and they can get past this in time. I think that they will. Both Jack and Ariel are a lot stronger than they look. 

 Jack's POV

 A little while later...

  Maui leaves to go to his next class and I'm left alone with my dark thoughts and demons. You might not know this about me, but I have a long history of self harm and suicide attempts. I've never recovered from it completely. Every time that I think I'm making progress, something bad happens and it causes me to relapse. I want nothing more than to plunge a knife into my skin and watch the blood come pouring out, but I know that it would scare Maui or anyone else that happened to stumble upon me. I simply push the thoughts away and go to sleep. Sleep comes easily to me, probably because I wore myself down to a nub. It's been a horrible day and I just want it to end. 

Hoped that you guys liked this chapter! This will be my only update tonight because my brain is fried and I can't think straight anymore to update a second time tonight. Some nights I can update twice or three times even and others I'm lucky if I have the energy and/or time to update once. :) -Mary
