we beat on

James Foster. Twenty years old. History major. Noted loner. Brooding bastard brother of Henry Foster and reluctant brother-in-law of Alice Foster.

Tate doesn’t let up. Instead he slams a fist into James’ gut because this guy still isn’t getting it and nothing has the ability to piss him off more. He had once been willing to kill for Violet’s happiness. Now he wanted nothing more than to make her as alone as he was. 

Get the fuck out and don’t come back.

James stumbles to the door. His lungs are thirsting for air and his throat is sore. James doesn't have any fight in him today and in a way he's disappointed in himself. He rubs his stomach gingerly and feels as if he might throw up. He looks back at Tate scornfully before he leaves.

We'll see about that.

[ghostlytatelangdon]

Tate grabbed a strong hold of James’ shoulders and used his weight to hurl the other man into the wall. His hands went straight for the man’s throat. 

I think it does.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

James doesn't do anything to try and improve his situation. He just leans against the wall breathing heavily.

Oh, yeah?

[ghostlytatelangdon]

I don’t want you near her. Understand?

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

I don't think it matter what you want.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

I really need to stop smoking. Henry's right about that much.

[herwraith]

You have the chance to actually live, though. You shouldn’t take that for granted.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

Life's not really worth living when you're alone though.

[ghostlytatelangdon]

You’re not going to get that chance.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

We'll see about that.

[ghostlytatelangdon]

And she doesn’t want you, so I suggest you leave her the fuck alone. 

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

I'll believe it when I hear it from her.

[herwraith]

I don’t really mind. It’s not like I have friends waiting for me.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

I feel that. My best friend is now my sister in law. Got no one.

[herwraith]

Let’s just say I’m housebound.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

That sucks. I'm sorry. It'd be nice if you could get out.

[ghostlytatelangdon]

Just stay away from her. 

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

Well, it’s a free country and Violet can do what she wants.

[ghostlytatelangdon]

I saw you talking to her. I don’t like the way you look at her, James. No one should look at Violet like that.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

And you must be the ex.

[ghostlytatelangdon]

You know Violet. 

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

I do know Violet.

[herwraith]

You’re lucky you can leave.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

How come you can't?

[ghostlytatelangdon]

It’s James, right?

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

Yes. Do I know you?

[herwraith]

That’s pretty admirable.

[thebroodingfoster-blog]

She made her choices and I made mine and I am getting the hell out of here as soon as I graduate college.

Henry called me Jay Gatsby today. Bastard.
