elvenavariFandom: Twilight
Pairing: Jasper/Seth
Prompt: Neon Moon
Jasper winced slightly as the bottom of his car scraped the railroad tracks but honestly… he didn’t care. He found it hard to care about much of anything these days. It had been seven months since Seth had left him. He hadn’t seen his ex, no phone calls, notes, emails, nothing.
‘I lied one to many times…’ Jasper thought as he pulled into a parking space outside the Neon Moon bar. It was a rundown looking building; some of the windows had been boarded up because they kept getting broken. The neon lights above the bar that read Neon Moon Bar flashed, the second ‘n’ of Neon, one of the ‘o’s in Moon and the ‘a’ in Bar were out.
But again. Jasper didn’t care. He only came here to drink and think of Seth until he was drunk enough to forget.
“Hey sugar,” the bartender greeted as he entered. She greeted everyone the same way. As Jasper approached the bar she poured him a whiskey straight up. “The usual?”
Jasper nodded. “Keep it com’n.” He took the glass and moved toward the small table in the back corner of the bar. Technically it was a table for two, but he only ever sat here alone.
Sitting he stared at the Open neon light in the front window, a quarter moon flickered on the side of the ‘o’. Slowly he sipped the whiskey, savoring the taste, letting the liquor warm his blood as it took effect. By the time he was finished here tonight the bartender would have called him a cab and in the morning he wouldn’t remember stumbling back into his apartment. His empty apartment.
‘If only I hadn’t lied…’ He thought in misery. ‘If I hadn’t cheated…’ Jasper took another sip of his whiskey. ‘Over and over…’
Jasper could still see perfectly, Seth standing there. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, his arms shaking with the effort to contain his anger. The anger…and pain had been perfectly clear in his eyes though. Jasper threw the rest of his whiskey back, finishing off the glass. Soon another was placed in front of him and he started nursing it.
‘I’m not drunk enough…’
