& another 1

It ripped her soul 2 shreads & she was exhausted. She was just tired of livin life. So much pain, so much heartache. Her chest hurt. She reached for her wine glass & something 2 smoke. She sat silent, waiting for his next words.
She was so silent & still he had 2 say hello to see if Jade was still on the line. Time was extremely remorseful. He told her everything & she calmly listened. Perhaps she had no tears left 2 cry. After the histerics from the night b4, Jade was @ a loss for words. She was like a ghost or even the shadow of a ghost. She was hollow. Jade couldn't believe it but given her track record, then again, yes she could. There wasn't much of anything any1 cld say or do @ this point n her life that would shock her. She was dead inside.
As Time told Jade the whole story behind him & Ariel's nuptuials. She thought back 2 how Time was nvr much 4 fairy tales & future talk. He was a realist. Said u nvr what cld happen. Said he didn't want 2 fill Jade's head w nonsense like men from her past, bc all they did was disappoint her. She listened but all the while she was smokin & sippin & ponderin over the time he told her that she wouldn't be able 2 survive another heartbreak, he worried she might snap or go crazy or slit her wrists. Jade joked him off & told him there was nothin that cld take her that far. She jokingly confessed she'd already tried suicide years ago & given as many cars accidents she'd survived, apparently she must be here for a reason. She thought back 2 how he wld refer 2 his bm as his mother's daughter n law when he wld describe their relationship w eachother & y his mom wld nvr like Jade as much. Jade nvr thought he meant that "in law"shit literally, thought he was just exaggerating. Jade hung her head low & her shoulders ached as if they carried the wieght of the world. Time kept on talkin & Jade kept on listening. His voice was deafening. She was havin trouble breathin so she puffed lightly & sipped slowly & when she finally spoke it didn't make it half an octave above a whisper.
