JAKE: I know.

SERENA: Ugh. Don't be accomodating.

SERENA: Ass.

JAKE: Yes.

SERENA: I'm still mad at you.

JAKE: I appreciate that. A lot.

SERENA: Do you?

JAKE: I want you to support me. I just also know that I can't demand all of your attention and time simply because I'm your boyfriend. And I want you to support whatever makes you happy and whoever you feel would do the best job.

SERENA: I am, and it's /you/.

SERENA: How many times do you want me to say it?

[serenabathory]

JAKE: Babe.

SERENA: No.

SERENA: I'm trying to be here for you. Because, again, I fucking love you and know how hard this is for you. I want you to be honest with /me/, but you won't be. I never wanted to you tap into the wolf side of you because I /know/ how you feel about that. And for you to insinuate that is just . . .

SERENA: And then you go and bring up past shit, tell me my upset for you taking the fall for something you NEVER should have under some martyring pack nonsense is from mere petty jealousy alone, and then tell me to support Levi instead of you.

[...]

SERENA: If me and my support means that little to you, then I'm glad I know that now.

SERENA: So please, as I said, do what you want. I won't interfere anymore.

JAKE: Serena. You told me to be real with you and I was. Clearly I'm pissed at this, and if it was really because of that girl, then I can't change that now. I feel I did the right thing for me.

SERENA: As I said. Do what you want.

JAKE: I love you.

SERENA: [read]

JAKE: Support Levi. He's your best friend. It won't hurt me.

SERENA: [read]

JAKE: Serena, stop. You're angry that I protected her because you were jealous. Not because you completely disagree with what was done. What you call a savior complex, I call leading a pack. Which is what I'm intended to do.

[...]

SERENA: You know what, Jake? Do what you want.

[serenabathory]

text – serena & jake

JAKE: Yes I did.

SERENA: Bullshit.

SERENA: You did it because you have this inane savior complex, and look what it's getting you! You've had people leave pig hearts in your locker and call you a monster left and right.

SERENA: You've done SO much for this fucking school over the years, and you're seriously telling me you're okay with losing everything for some stupid, simpering girl who KNOWINGLY fucked up?!

[serenabathory]

text – serena & jake

JAKE: I already told you, I had to.

JAKE: Fine, ok. If protecting someone in my pack means losing my spot, then fine. I'll accept that.

SERENA: No! No, you didn't!

SERENA: . . .

JAKE: Do we really need to walk down memory lane here? I've been set to be counsel president for years. I was supposed to finish out here as the president. And now I might not. So, yeah, I'm pretty pissed and furious as to why now.

SERENA: Are you really going to sit there and bring up past shit like that? I'm talking about the here and now and our relationship, Jacob.

[...]

SERENA: You know, this probably wouldn't be happening at all if you hadn't gone and took the fall for that girl. You've got a lense on you now. You have to know that.

JAKE: I /am/ diplomatic! I'm aware you expect me to be some rage-crazy wolf right now, but I'm not!

SERENA: Are you fucking kidding me!? When have I /ever/ expected that from you?!

[serenabathory]

text – serena & jake

JAKE: What do you expect me to say, Serena? I'm not happy about it, clearly. However it's an election. So the decision is the decision.

SERENA: I expect you to be pissed if you're pissed and stop doing this fucking fake diplomatic crap with me!

[serenabathory]

text – serena & jake

JAKE: I suppose.

[...]

SERENA: Look, are you going to tell me how you /really/ feel about all of this, or are you going to keep this bullshit up?
