It's been six days...

Jul 18, 2006 02:03

Six days since Liam Fitzpatrick decided to let himself in the back door of our perfect little apartment and shatter our happy little lives. I know, that entire sentence is full of glaring cliché-like statements, but I don't really know how else to put it... for all intents and purposes, that's what he did.Six days since my dad came to the rescue ( Read more... )

They had wanted me to stick around in the hospital for about a week. Truthfully, I would have rather taken a spork to gouge my own eyes out then watch Trina stick around for another two days ordering doctors around for her little brother, but I'm sure in the end it would have caused me more hospital time. That thought was even worse. By the fifth day, I had Veronica implore them to let me go. That I was ready to get on the road and go home to what ever I had left ( ... )

I know I shouldn't roll my eyes as Trina questions - again - if Logan's okay, but I can't help it. She's become this broken record. 'Are you okay?' 'I'm fine.' 'Are you sure?' Seriously... if something was wrong Logan would speak up. I have no doubt in that. Fussing over him like that wasn't going to anything but make us all miserable.

I can kind of speak from experience there, can't I? I kinda don't want to relive the fighting that went on when I couldn't manage to relax and back off a bit.

I think what we all needed desperately at this moment was to not be near Trina... whether that was actually going to happen or not, who knows. Not that Dad really had anything to worry about. Logan was still hurt, what could we possibly do? Never mind that, what could we possibly do that we hadn't already been doing for monthsI looked at Logan as my dad basically uses politer words to say 'we're stopping before we all kill Trina'... the tone behind it spoke volumes to me, anyway, and I mouthed 'We're in hell...' to him as Dad parked the car ( ... )

"Food and sleep." Keith says in return to Veronica, and silently I'm actually thankful for the break. It might have been easier with some consistent morphine drip IV to travel cross country with my girlfriend, her father and my sister, but even on pain killers that you're not supposed to take more than two every six hours I feel like downing the whole bottle every time the car jolts and I have to resist the urge to make any expression at the pain that's shooting through my body. Not only for Trina, but for Veronica too who gets a concerned look every so often towards me.

"Well, I was hoping to take enough to go into a self-induced coma." I commented sardonically to Veronica, a wry smile on my face. "But I only like to OD in private."

"That's kinda like a family thing, isn't it?" Trina asks, and by the tone of her voice I know I've gotten to her. Not only by the tone of her voice, but by who she's referring to. It takes every inch of self control not to catapult myself into strangling her. Also, the bullet wound makes that action a ( ... )

Listening to the two of them go at it like this made me want to scream. I can't take it. I mean, I thought Logan and I were the king and queen of going straight for the kill in our more bitter snarkfests, but this? Was completely unnecessary. What Logan said about OD'ing was bad enough, but Trina? Did she have to bring up/attack Lynn like that?

"I'm not sure you're even a little wrong about that..." I sighed at his comment about hell being Cabo compared to this as I watched my dad drag Trina inside the hotel ( ... )

I was going to happily ignore this whole building disagreement about marriage or whatever right now because personally, with the two of us, we'd been acting a little psycho lately with everything that had happened. And this argument? Most likely part of it. She's right, she's only driving me insane while being drugged - and that's probably evidence of how much she cares. Somehow.

My fingers tangled in between hers at least seemed to start a calm that was way past needed for this whole trip. "Good," I nod to her.

Personally thoughts of the future were being quenched - one of them the fact that we'd go back and everything was probably changed. Duncan was a father. Veronica's dad was dating again. School was almost over. The first was enough to make me head spin. How do you figure out if you ever have a place left?

"Please tell me you can knock me unconscious for the next few days. Just until we get back," I replied with a small grin to her.

"Glad you think so, too." I smiled softly, giving his hand a little squeeze. We were both way too tired and stressed out to even be having this conversation and I knew that. Unfortunately that never really stops us, does it? But for right now we seem to at least realise now is not the time for a giant fight about the future.

Yay us?

We just have to take everything one step at a time when we get back to Neptune. First thing we need to worry about really is fitting back into a world that's gone on without us for five months already.

"Who's gonna knock me into a coma if I put you out?" I asked with a smirk. "Not that both of us being unconscious is really fair to my dad... Trina wouldn't last an hour..."

"We really want her to last an hour?" I question to her. "I say you get your dad to knock you out and you knock me out and we all end up going home Trina-less." I wanted to groan again at the idea of actually having Trina in my life.

This past summer while just waiting to turn eighteen was enough and suddenly she was being all 'I'm your older sister, I know best' to me in a continuous nature that makes me actually think she misses family. I was still running from everything and I knew that. I didn't need Trina in my life to remind me.

I leaned in to kiss Veronica again, her small hand still wrapped warmly in mine.

I'd kinda like to be knocked out for more than just the next few days because while Veronica talked about the future I could see as far as I could throw right now - which with a bullet hole? Wasn't much.

"I just want this over, you know." I said, motioning to everything around us as her dad and Trina came retreating back to the car.

"We have a room now." Keith announces.

"That's encouragement to actually sleep." ( ... )

"Um..." I faked like I was actually considering that question, "I know this probably makes me a horrible person, but not really, no." I replied. Trina was driving me insane... what can I say? Days more of being trapped in this car? With her? I might attempt to shove her out if my dad doesn't. Which would be a really interesting maneuver from the backseat ( ... )
