Author: Jared Davron
Author Host/IP: proxy.wre.adelphia.net / 24.48.56.11
Subject: Sample-Over?

(One look outside the window to the rain pouring down outside. That's all it took from him to know that this place, this life, was damned. Everything he had worked so hard to build over the past six years of his life, all of it came down to this. A dreary February morning, and creeping carefully out of his apartment, out of his life, like a thief.
Maybe he was always that type, a quitter, a sinner, the kind of guy who walks away when things get challenging. Thinking about it while he looked out on the rain falling down, he couldn't think back to a single time when he had stuck it out, toughed it out. When the going got tough, Jared Davron got gone.)



Jared:The best thing you can do for her, Jar, is leave...



(Exhaling deeply, he creeps into the room where she's sleeping. He looks down at her prone body, softly sleeping.)



Jared:Just say goodbye. Don't wake her.



(The fight hadn't been the worse they had ever had, but it was the last. Maybe that was why it seemed so much lighter. There was no making up afterwards, no angry sex to relieve the stress and frustration. Just the two of them, sleeping on their own side of the bed, miles apart...inches apart.
He leans over her, careful not to wake her up, and kisses her softly on her forehead.)



Jared:{In a whisper}I will always love you Ali..



(He clinches his eyes tightly against the tears, and stumbles to the door. Leaving was his strong suit, but leaving her was not like it usually was.)



Jared:It's for the best...



[For who?]



(Gathering up his things, he ruffles his own hair, exhaling deeply...shudderingly. Maybe someday he would be able to come back, but he had to deal with life first. Life without her, life without the bottle, life alone.)



[What the hell are you going to do with yourself?]




(He pulls the door open, spilling pale light into the room)



Jared:Time to go...



[But where?]



(He pulls the door shut softly behind him and makes his way to the car, his face torn. He doesn't notice the figure in the window.)



***********************************************************

(He didn't even say goodbye. Unless you count that half assed I love you one the way out the door as goodbye. Why didn't he say goodbye. Why didn't she stop him. Why the hell was she crying?
It's not like he had been the greatest guy in the world. He had a drinking problem, he coudln't hold a job, he was pretty much useless in the sack. Worthless. But he was leaving, and she was watching as the car pulled out and headed down the street.
He was really gone. And Alicia "Ali" Gayle had no clue better where her life was headed without him than he knew where his was headed without her.)



Ali:Stupid BASTARD!!!



(She collapses to the bed in a heap..sobbing hysterically. And so it ends. Not with a bang. With a whisper.)
