What's your favorite scary movie?
Blake Walsh
The question caught her off guard. Why didn’t you tell me? her eyes stared into his as he saw the misery in his eyes but somewhere behind it all, he was hopeful. Blake shifted to move to sit on a bar stool, feeling exhausted. He was talking to her, which was a relief in itself. She was almost sure he wouldn’t give her a chance. He reassured her that it would’ve been okay, that he would have stuck with her through it all. Blake bit her lip harshly as she held her emotions in. The loyalty and devotion Jackson showed her was not deserved and yet, she couldn’t leave him.
Licking her bloodied lips lightly, Blake shook her head slowly. ”Because my voice didn’t matter till now.” she murmured to him. Swallowing hard, a hand reached up to touch the bruises forming in her face, “Because even the slightest bit of honesty could get me killed...and Carter was close to finishing me off tonight.” Blake tapped her finger on the counter a moment before looking up at Jackson again.
“I came here three weeks ago, ready to do what I’ve always done. Get in and get out. That’s how it’s always been, no diving deeper into my clients details or wars. They were never my battles to fight, only to report on...Tonight,” she took a deep breath as she recalled the confrontation outside with Carter. “Seeing Sinead...like that...I had to confront him and see where that got me?” Blake let out a bitter laugh before shaking her head again and sighing, her eyes once again finding Jackson’s.”I envy these Porters you know? I see the family and I just wonder when it would be my turn...Jackson, it’s been three weeks okay, and I get that. “ She shrugged her shoulder. ”I’ve never felt this way in this amount of time...so sure, so hopeful.” Blake then paused in her words and hopped down from the bar stool with effort.
”I don’t deserve your affection, I don’t deserve your kindness and I don’t deserve to stare into those blue eyes or see that amazing smile that lights up a room...but if there is one thing I know I deserve, it’s to be happy. And god dammit, so do you.” Blake began to turn away with that, ready to let him live the life he wanted.
