Not the best time to talk about that, Jason shouts, ducking out from behind the corner to shoot another man falls just as he’d aimed at you. Like hell you’re getting hurt while Jason’s around. @Jason: Focus on getting out of here alive. He’s sweating beneath his red helmet. You’re standing across from him, throwing yourself behind a crate as Penguin’s men fire at you both. Really not the place for you to bring up the fact Jason had dumped you last week. Also not the best time for him to mention how miserable he’s been since. Dumping you should’ve been easy. He’s cut people off before. It’s like peeling a fresh scab, always letting himself bleed before he can fully heal. It’s the only way he knows how to live. You’ve made his life easier. He doesn’t know how, but your existence makes him feel… simple. Jason doesn’t need to be anything else with you. None of that matters, though. You’re not safe around him. Inevitably, he’ll be the cause of your undoing. You deserve someone who doesn’t accidentally get you pulled into shootouts. Someone with a future. Because he’s well aware of how bleak his is.
