His eyes were dry from his messy tears as Kelly wipes his face.

Jackson’s nose sniffles as Kelly inches closer to him and admitted tenderly.

“Am I crazy to still care about you Jackson? I really did love you once. It’s just she and I had this instant connection and no matter how hard I tried to fight it. Bette and I succumbed to our passionate natures together. She and I just had an instant attraction and I know. I know when I meet up with her again. I’ll remind her of those memories.” Kelly looks downwards as Jackson sighs within him.

Mr. Donaldson didn’t really prepare for this part of his masterful plans if he were entirely honest with himself.

He just knew it had to be done, if he couldn’t have her. He’d make sure a certain blonde one couldn’t either in her dreams of happily after. “Okay, and if you’re lucky enough to snag her again into your life don’t presume you’ve won in-fact.”

He clasps those jittery hands tightly to Kelly’s as he confesses in true form of words.

“I once deluded myself, too. I actually forced myself to actually believe again and look where it got me. I tried my hardest and failed. No, and I don’t want you to interrupt me Kelly. I speak from bitterness. I speak from heartache and yet I also speak from truth. The very self-truths that forced me to awaken finally from my fairy-tales of lies.”

He then unclasps his shaken fingers and walks downwards to his bedroom. “I speak truth that used to haunt me when she left. I one day woke up to EVERYTHING a man could possibly dream of too, a nightmare. I woke up to her one day, proclaiming she was in-fact GAY.” Jackson laughs distraught, as tears fall down his soaked face.

“THERE I WAS STANDING IN-FRONT OF HER AND SHE OUTRIGHT OUTS HERSELF. I STOOD THERE SHELL-SHOCKED. I COULDN’T QUITE BELIEVE IT. AND I WOULDN’T HAVE, IF I HADN’T CAUGHT HER AND TINA KISSING WITH MY OWN TWO-EYES. “ He stops and glances at Kelly’s shocked face. “I FELT LIKE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LAUGHING STOCK. AND I’M SURE THEY BOTH HAD A GOOD LAUGH BEHIND MY STUPID ASS. I MEAN, OF ALL PEOPLE A WOMAN? AND I HONESTLY BELIEVED TINA KENNARD WAS A GOOD WOMAN. THEN I REALIZED SHE’S A PREDATOR, WHO STOLE MY WIFE. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HER, SO IF YOU’RE ASKING ME IF I BECAME SOFT ALL OF THESE YEARS."
