[attr="class","body"] There's something bittersweet about knowing that he is still Ashley Shepard's friend, but that there had been a time when he wasn't. Everything that had once muddled the air between them is clear and pure, including the warm smile that his friend sends back to him.

[break][break] The moment is nearly sweet enough to last. Nearly enough to chase all of Jayden's inner-demons away, of his FEARS and HATE.

[break][break] Of declan walsh's words, and the punishment he deserved.

[break][break] Maybe today will be a good day.

[break][break] Jayden is only silent in response, reaching into the cargo. The admin's fingers close around one of the red ores, sharp as they dig into his skin. Painful.

[break][break] He tosses it into the rift, watching as it closes up the gaping wound.

[break][break] If only his wounds could be tied up so easily.

[break][break] Violet eyes look over at Ashley, who leans so easily and calmly against their cargo. He wishes he could have the confidence of Ashley Shepard, the hope. It was one of the things he'd always ENVIED in his best friend.

[break][break] But it was just a reminder of how he's chosen Ashley Shepard over Rocket once before, and how he'd paid the price.
