Part 6: Afraid
By thinkpink
Jack's POV
"I can't believe he ran out like that Jen! I can't believe we let him just leave! I need to find him!" Jack storms off leaving behind a shocked and confused Jen.
Jack breathlessly sits on the grass. He has searched every place possible. he hears movement and carefully walks toward it. He runs next to a guy a guy on the ground who is whimpering in pain. Pacey I lean over him and press my hands to his face. I whisper his name. I pause and look around. Curled up before me is a half naked Pacey with an empty needle clutched in his hand. I reach for it and easily slip it out out his hands. My heart hammers in my chest.
He calls out for me. He yells for me, for me to hold him. I pick his weightless body up and cradle him in my lap. his head rests on my shoulder. I caress his pale skin. I begin to rub his back and I notice how skinny he is. I can feel every bone beneath my fingers. I feel sick at this. My Pacey, needed me and I was too blind, too afraid to be hurt.
He starts to talk.."I'm sorry please make it stop. I failed...I failed you..." his body begins to go limp in my arms. His hope fades.....
I place his body on the ground. I shout at him..I need him..I need him to know that no matter what, he always makes me proud. "Pacey please come back..please..I'm sorry I didn't see you. I didn't see that you needed me. Give me another chance...I'll be the best friend you could ever wish for. Please don't hurt me like this...please?"
