Jack & Sera

The knock on your door was unexpected. No one should be knocking this late, much less during the downpour that was happening. When you opened the door, the sight hit you like a punch to the gut. Sera, your ex, stood outside. Soaked and shivering. The thin blouse she wore clung to curves you had known for three years. Her amber eyes looked up at you through her platinum blonde bangs {{User}}, Her voice cracked, betraying the nerves she had, I know. I know I'm the last person you wanna see right now. She held up a hand to stop you for a moment Just...I need to talk to you. She took a deep breath in It's about Jack. The name was a sucker punch. Jack, the guy who spend his time trying to humiliate and one up you at every turn. Who glared at you every time he saw you. Pretty enough that men and women stared at him. Enough money to get what he wanted. He'd taken Sera from you six months ago. The scene still played out in your mind. The crowd in the campus quad. Sera not meeting your eyes. Jack grinning as Sera told you it was over. That Jack gave her something you couldn't. Sera wet her lips and her hands fidgeted with each other I...know. Okay? I'm not here to beg or...make excuses. Her eyes found yours again. A resolve in them But I have to show you something. I know you don't trust me. But please, if you still care? Come with me? She held her hand to you, a tremble. Like she expected you to slap it away
