Jasmine blinks and then shakes her head, "What's wrong, Rox...? Let me help." She places one of her own hands on one of his shoulders. "You're acting strange... I'm worried..."
Are you still you? She asks silently, knowing that Roxas can't read mind... So she's glad he won't hear her insecurity over this fact. But she does look him dead in the eye. "Does this have to do with... the reason why you ran out?"

"Yeah, Jazz..." Roxas said, jaw set as he took a step towards her, looking down with narrowed blue eyes. "Yeah... It has everything to do with why I ran out... And I am acting strange, I'm acting strange because I honestly can't believe you..."

"Can't believe me?" Jazz frowns. "I don't understand... What can't you believe?"

"Everything!" He said with a frown. "We've known each other, what? A year now..? I'm pretty sure that I'd made how I feel about you really obvious, and dare I say it, I was naive enough to think you were trying to do the same thing..." His gaze seemed bitter.
"I guess I was wrong, huh..?"

"I... Roxas... You aren't being far," Jazz frowns deeply before shaking her head. "I... I know that you fee you... I don't even know if I... Roxas I'm not ready... We would be bett... You're not giving me... I'm..."
She shakes her head again, "I don't mean to be mean or anything! I'm sorry... Please... I'm sorry!"

He took one more step closer, so that he was directly in front of her. He placed his hands in his pocket and leaned forwards, so his face was next to hers. His frown was set in stone as he whispered in her ear.
"I guess sorry just isn't enough, is it..?"
He kissed her once on the cheek before turning around and walking away. A crack of thunder sounded before lightning split the sky and rain started pouring down. He moved one hand from his pocket in order to wave once over his shoulder, before he turned the corner and disappeared...

Jasmine frowns before taking one step. The rain crashing around her. And then another. Then another. Suddenly she bursts into a full out run, her shoes pounding the asphalt and she races to catch up with him, despite knowing he could have long since out run her. Everything in her braking, everything in her shaking, lost in just a few brief minutes prior is her mind. Roxas's words repeating over and over and over again in her head.
"...Roxas...!"

He was already behind her.
His hood was up, shadowing his face.
A few stray, soaked blonde locks were visible as he gritted his teeth.
He took a breath.
He spoke.
"Go away, Jazz... Leave me alone... You're done enough damage, don't you think?"
All time around him seemed to slow down, the rain drops felt heavier and more laboured, much like his breathing at the moment. He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he had to do it. He had to put himself before others right now... He couldn't risk letting his emotions get the better of him anymore.

Jazz skids to a stop, "Roxas." Slowly she turns towards him, her wet hair flopping as she does. "I... Please... What's so... Roxas..." Her feet drag her to him and she reaches out as if to embrace him.
"I'm not trying to hurt you... I do love you... Just. Not. Like. That."

He slapped her hand away, weakly. He was trying is best to keep himself under control, his teeth gritting harder as he resists the urge to unleash all of his anger at once. Instead he released it steadily, as if from a valve...
"Don't you get it?!" He snarled. "You've fucking destroyed me, Jazz!"
He paused, shoulders heaving, as he caught his breath and unleashed one last snarl.
"Because of what you've done... The way you've led me on..."
"We can't even be friends anymore!"

"Led... LED YOU ON?" Jazz shouts back, appalled. "I led you on? I was being friendly! Nice! I... Well I never meant for any of my actions to be..." She takes a step back, frowning.
"... I see..."

"Go."
His fists tightened, he could feel himself getting weaker and he didn't like it.
"Go now. Leave me alone."
There was nothing in his voice anymore, no sadness, no anger, just nothing... His voice was the rain, loud, crashing and there... But gone an instant later. He relaxed his fists.
"Just... Go..."

Her fists clench before she growls out, "Guess this means I'll never have a brother for real then, huh? No family at all for real... Fine. I get it. I'll just stick to fluffy! At least he doesn't become... A JERK WHEN A GIRL SAYS NO!!" And then she runs away, not looking back... Her face wet... And not just from the rain.

"NOOOOO!"
Roxas swing a fist to the side, all of his strength packed into that one fist. It unluckily collided with the side of someone's car and launched it as if flung from a trebuchet, nearly splitting in half with sheer force. Roxas stood, shoulders heaving as he let out a snarl.
To hell with this.
To hell with her.
To hell with 'fluffy'.
And to hell with this whole damn city!
"Run, girl!" A voice called, not quite Roxas'... More elegant... More refined, laced with malice and deceit.
"Run... And don't come back..."
