He looks at his best friend, his eyes filled with pain, his heart thudding dully in his chest. He closed his eyes. Jared knew the way he was acting towards her was far from friendly, it was unacceptable. He heard her voice quiver and felt his heart break. She cared about him, and just by pushing her away, he was hurting her.<br/><br/>"Grace! The smoking takes the pain away." She didn't deserve to know anymore. If she knew that she really was the only one to cure him, then she would never rest. Gazing up at her, he flashes his winning smile, a broad toothy grin that she'd seen countless times before. He pulls out yet another cigarette, lighting it up and taking a drag.
