Harsh words

Jason receives Katie’s sharp words, his own anger simply feeding off of them. Her statement of love only serves to create more turmoil as the battle within his one mind rages once more. “And did you ever think that maybe it just never would work between us?”

He stares down into Katie’s eye as she steps closer, gritting his teeth. Her previous comment about fighting like old times brought back memories he’d just as soon not think about. Though at this point in time, he wouldn’t dare raise a hand to her, no matter how angry he was.

Her question causes him to roll his eyes. “I don’t know, you tell me.” He cocks his head in utter defiance. “Or let me guess. Now you’re gonna stab Scott in the back just like you did me.”

As soon as the words are out of his mouth, he regrets them. He knows good and well that it was an incredibly unfair statement. The past had been his fault, not hers. But at the same time, his underlying motive was to get her upset enough that she’d leave him alone.
