Ravenclaw Tavern [2]

Jackie

I look into his eyes and mature him like I did Rayah, breaking away once done, and watch him.

Nic

I watch him blink a few times before looking down and at Rayah. He scoots closer to her and twines a hand with hers. I stand and walk downstairs, knowing I asked for it but not wanting to see anymore of it.

Jackie

Rayah looks at Jace and squeezes his hand while I run after Nic and stop him, "I can't freaking believe you. Leaving him...he still remembers you. He won't have anyone left."

Nic

I sit at the bar and look at Jackie, confused, "I-I'm not leaving him. I never could. I just... can't stay in there while they're all mushy. I can't keep thinking about everything."

Jackie

I sigh, looking at Nic, "It'll pay off. I promise. They'll... They'll be perfect. You want to start a family someday, right? I mean, I sure as hell do. So...why think about the negatives when you can think of the positives. They'll be happy."

Nic

I shake my head and glance down. Because I always imagined watching him grow up; not watching him sprout up in a poof...

Jackie

I'm just about to turn back when Rayah comes down, passing me and Nic without a word and sitting by the window. She sighs and look out it, hands on her stomach.
She didnt forget me...did she?

Nic

I watch her before possessing the bartender and pouring myself a drink.

Jackie

I shake my head at Nic and plop at a table, hoping she remembers me.

Nic

I slip out and down the whiskey, wincing as it goes down.

Jackie

I swallow and look down, trying to think.

Nic

I remember that Jackie had wanted some of this before and bring a bottle and two glasses over, the bartender dazed when he glances at me, "Want some?"

Jackie

I nod and flash a smile, "Okay."

Nic

I pour a glass and slide it over to her, pouring mine before downing it.

Jackie

I thank him and Rayah plops next to me, glancing at me.

I look at her, "What?"

She shakes her head, "Nothing."
