Snooping

[kinnonme]

Marlene is snooping around Lionel's room, determined to find where he keeps the bloody letters he apparently writes to her. She knows she promised Amos she'd stop being so nosy... it's her New Year's Resolution... but she promised him. Not Lionel. This is fair game.

*scribbled hurridly onto a spare bit of parchment, then crumpled up and stuffed into the toe of a very old pair of chucks in Lionel's closet*

Jesus fucking Christ, Marlene, you are unbelievable. I honestly have no idea why I ever even wanted to move in with you. Should have known you’d be a hormonal fucking bitch half the time.

What the fuck are you doing, thinking about dying? You are SUCH a drama queen. Get over yourself, Marlene, Jesus. If you have something to tell me, then goddamn tell me! I hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE when you pull this shit. I am so sick and tired of playing your stupid little games whatever you want until you just decide you HATE EVERYTHING and LEAVE.

God, what kind of a masochist am I?

Don’t fucking lead me on like this anymore, okay? Love me or hate me, Marlene, I CAN’T STAND THIS IN BETWEEN ANYMORE.

Just stop making me think that maybe one day it might work, okay? BUGGER FUCK I HATE THIS PLACE.

*reads it over and over*

*squeezes hands and storms up to him in the kitchen, slamming it down on the counter*

The fuck is this?

*eating a piece of toast*

Well, I don't know, I can't tell. Give us a look.

*looks at it*

*quickly crumples it up and puts it in his pocket*

It's nothing.

[kinnonme]

*glares at him, hard, bright red from anger, tears about to pour out her eyes*

Since you hate being here with me so much, I'll just go.

*storms off the other way towards her room, pulling out a suitcase and starting to fill it up*

At Amelia's

[kinnonme]

*knocking weakly at the door, suitcase in hand and coatless*

Re: At Amelia's

[buff_hufflepuff]

AMELIA -- PLEASE CALM DOWN! YOU KNOW HE'S DONE IT BEFORE -- LAST YEAR, AFTER -- never mind, it's not like he beat me --

*stops short when he hears the knocking*

I'll get it.

*hurries to the door and runs a hand through his hair as he opens it*

Look, this isn't the best time to --

*stops short when he realizes it's Marlene and looks surprised*

Marlene?

Re: At Amelia's

[kinnonme]

*sniffling and covered in tears*

R-Room for one m-more?

Re: At Amelia's

[buff_hufflepuff]

*pulls her inside and hurriedly wipes at her face*

Of course -- what's wrong? What happened?

*bites lip and takes her suitcase, setting it aside so that he can hug her*

At Cordell's

[kinnonme]

*banging on door loudly*

DON'T LET YOUR SISTER SLEEP IN THE GUTTER YOU ARSE, OPEN UP!

Re: At Cordell's

[kinnonme]

*opens the door, very sleepy*

The hell...?

MARLENE? What's wrong, what happened? Why aren't you at your flat? Are you hurt?

Re: At Cordell's

[kinnonme]

Hi.

*storms in and plops onto his couch, grabs remote, and turns on tv*

Got any popcorn?

Re: At Cordell's

[kinnonme]

*takes the remote away from her and turns the TV off*

*sternly*

What. Happened. To. You.

[buff_hufflepuff]

*grinds teeth and hastily scrawls on a scrap of parchment*

Sympathy sex is NOT what I meant. What I DID mean, however, is SLEEPING in the same bed as you. I'm sorry you took it the wrong way, but wherever you are, COME BACK.

Love,
Amos

*ties the letter to his owl and flings the bird out the window*

STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER.

You should not be considering sleeping in even the same ROOM as her, do you understand me?

My sister is a well-raised young woman, and I would expect her to have higher standards than to allow that sort of behaviour! She was right to come to me when she needed some place to stay.

yours,
Cordell McKinnon
