"Yeah, you do." she gave a mirthless laugh. "I can see it in your eyes. Besides, you're so predictable."

“I am not. You don’t know me Jade. You can pretend you do but you don’t.”

"You haven't changed a bit." Jade smirked.

“If that’s what you want to believe.” Solace said crossing her arms over her chest.

"No. I wish you had changed. If you had, you would have made the smart choice and killed me." Jade argued.

“Not everyone’s volent and wants everyone else to die Jade. Not everyone’s cold and terrible like you” Solace retorted. “One day sweet heart. One day your realize this isn’t you. This is your defense mechanism.”

"I know who I am. This is me. And personally, the sooner you accept that fact the better."

“Jade. This isn’t you. This is who you’ve been forced to be. You don’t know who you are yet. But I do know this isn’t you. Your not this girl you’re trying so desperately to be.” Solace turned away and walked upstairs. She’d heard enough, she said enough. She knew she couldn’t convince Jade, and decided to stop trying.

(Gonna timeskip a bit if that's okay)

The next few weeks were very quiet. Jade didn't leave her room unless forced to, but one day, Jade had a sudden panic attack. It was random, with no specific provocation, but she found herself curling into a tiny ball in the corner, screaming for help. She was on a battlefield that didn't exist, she saw herself dying but in reality was perfectly safe. But Jade didn't know that.

Solace went running. She had spent most of her time behind a good book or over the stove. She found Jade screaming, shaking. She pulled her up to a sitting state and began talking to her in a soothing voice. Telling her everything was okay. Everything was okay, but not in Jades world.

"Make it stop! Make it stop!" she sobbed, burying her head into Solace's chest. Non-stop pain. Memories she had tried to forget blended into the perfect nightmare.

(Sorry had to eat dinner)
Solace wrapped her arms around Jade trying to protect her for whatever was harming her. It was no use but she tried anyway. She may hate Jade but she isn’t going to leave someone to suffer, leave them in pain when she can do something about it. “Focus on my voice Jade. Just breathe. Everything’s okay. You’re okay.”

"Stop, make it stop!" Jade screamed. She wrapped her arms around Solace, trying to ignore the pain.

“Jade please just relax. Breathe. In and out. In and out. It’s okay.” She said. how do I make it stop? she thought.

"Please don't go." Jade whispered .

“I never left. I never planned on it.” She said, holding Jade like she were a young child who just woke up from a nightmare.

"I don't want to be alone again."

“You don’t have to be”

"You left me alone! Please don't…. please….. I don't want……"

“I never left you. I was always there. You’re the one that left” Solace said, her voice cracking at the end.

"But it hurts. It hurts too much! Please don't go! I can't lose you again!"

“You never lost me. I was always here”

Jade mumbled something unintelligible. She sat there for several minutes, completely silent.

Solace sat in the silence, not knowing what else to say. She left her arms around Jade, hoping to keep her calm.
