"You are mean," Neptune agreed. And not forgiven..... yet. She continued to STARE at the weepy, messy boy known as her boyfriend. "Did I do that?" Make him cry?

This not feeling guilt or world-ending sadness at tears was new and odd and maybe if it really WAS her fault, she could muster up the appropriate feelings. The last time she'd seen a boy cry, Neptune thought she was going to shrivel and die from the inside out...

Jake only shrugged. He wasn't looking for forgiveness and for once didn't care about his apologies not being acknowledged. The young man was in a state between absolute sadness, and pure apathy. His head was so messed up, and it had been well over a year since he'd properly cried like that. It was odd...

"Partly," he nodded, but didn't elaborate on what else caused that outburst. Mainly because he just didn't know.

With that, Jake wiped the last of the tears away and scooped up the cat, holding him in his arms. He didn't look at Neptune.

"I need to go. Need to write to my mum," he mumbled. THAT was particularly odd. Jake didn't speak to his mother much if he could avoid it, and Neptune knew that. He'd told her. However... she was always there when he needed to cry or rant about all this kind of stuff. Well... so was his dad, but Jake had bothered the man enough.

"I'll see you soon, maybe," Jake added, squeezing his eyes shut to stem the teariness. He needed to focus.

Focus on not crying. Focus on not running. Focus on NOT dropping out of school now.

Still, he didn't look at Neptune. She wasn't reacting in the way HE reacted when SHE cried, and if he looked at her, he knew he'd lose it somehow. No. He had to avoid this situation.

"Soon. Maybe," Jake repeated, and left with his head bowed over Lolcat, determined to keep it together.
