Send me a letter when Jayce comes back. A letter from your new bloody owl." Eirian turned away, trying to fight the tears that were beginning to well up in her eyes. Grasping at the paperclip necklace Jay had made her for her birthday, she undid one and fastened it back together, turning to hand it to Jayce.
"I do not want it," she muttered. "I... I will see you around." And then, she turned on her heel and stalked out of the library. She'd find Trixie and that Durmstrang, even if it killed her. Or... or maybe she'd just stick to Thiago. He had never abandoned her... never changed.
Jayce shook his head. Un. Be. Lievable. "Look. Even Savannah can tolerate her and not bring her up in our conversations. And Savannah
really doesn't like Trix, but she can be civilized and not bad mouth her around me." he snapped. Jay was beyond sick of all of this. "
I've changed? I'm not the one who acts all bipolar lately!"
The anger poured out of him. But not only was it that, it was the emotions he's been hiding deep down. The anger that had returned thanks to finding his mother. The constant question roaming free in his head repeating, 'Why did she leave me?' But now, unintentionally, it had come out on Eiri.
As a necklace of some sort was forced into his hand, he stared after Eiri, stunned at what he had just done. As he looked downward, into the palm of his sweaty hand, only then did he realize it had been the necklace he had made and given Eirian for her birthday. Lifting his head back up, he stared after her, mumbling a heartfelt sorry that she was most likely too far away to hear.
