Title: apologize
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Jack leaves Samantha.
Warnings: internalized ableism.
Notes: none for this.
"It isn't you," Jack says, spreading his hands, and shit, she's crying already, big heaving sobs that redden her face with tears.
"What is it then?" she chokes out. "Why can't we be together?"
Because, he wants to say, because I love you just enough to save you, and not enough to stay. Because I'm crazy, down and up like a fucking jump rope and you can't handle that roller-coaster ride. Because you're way too invested already and there's no way this can end well. Because I'd break you before we were done.
All he does say is "I'm sorry."
