"I tried pretending that I don't give a damn." ~for Betty from Janine?

@hallowxeve

" I tried that too, in the past. It usually doesn't stick. I saw what you did with your girl friends, on the news. You did good. " Was Betty feeling proud of Janine for hearing her out and giving other people a chance? Maybe, but it wasn't her place to express that in her opinion. " What about Ben? "

Kaine recognized that voice. he hoped he'd never see the owner of that voice ever again, not after what he'd done to her. despite that whole fiasco feeling like it was a whole lifetime ago, he knows that it wasn't, even if he considered himself a different person now. he took a breath,

" I'm not Peter. " he starts, already a little annoyed at being compared to his kind of brother, " And as long as you're not actively killing people, I don't see a reason to stop you. "

" We shouldn't have to fight. It isn't FAIR — " Why was it so hard for them to find some peace? Why was he struggling so much to carve out a little bit of happiness for them? Ever since they had met it had been seemingly impossible for them to not end up threatened sooner or later. First through his brother, then the police, both of their pasts trying to catch up with them. Beyond, Madelyne — none of it had worked out for them. They had done what they could to atone, to work for their happiness and yet ... they had still ended up chased out of paradise, confused, robbed of everything they called their own. He sunk to his knees, resting his head on her lap. " What if it never ends? What if this is just what our lives are going to be FOREVER? "

Only alone with her did he finally allow the weight of the last few months to fully break down over him. What if this was all there was to life for them? Pain. Were they destined for nothing but nightmares? " I'm scared, Janine, what the hell do we do now? " His voice was barely more than a whisper now as he tried and failed to choke back tears. " This isn't how it was SUPPOSED to be. "

" Well obviously you're usually right — emphasis on usually. " He was about to land himself in hot waters, that much he knew, but surely she would understand why he DISAGREED with her. Surely she would see they both felt the same way about each other, felt the same reluctance about putting each other in danger. " Don't take this the wrong way, Janine ... I don't want you to get involved in this. What if you get hurt? What if they catch you and lock you up again? They'll take ANY chance to mark you down as a repeat offender and rob you of your freedom as long as possible. I don't know if I can do this again. "
