Room 319, late morning

Apr 01, 2009 13:44

The conversation with her father and Preston the evening before wasn't exactly unexpected. Meg understood the need to tighten security and to be honest, she wanted to be home, wanted to see for herself on a regular basis that her family was safe. Besides, given the current sympathies for the President, the press would probably give her a break ( Read more... )

Peyton was surprised to see her roommate there when she returned. "Meg! You're back! Hey, how's your mom doing?"

"She'll be okay."

Eventually.

"I'm moving back to DC."

Peyton's eyes went wide. "You're... oh Meg... I... god. I don't know what to say. I'll miss you."

"There's not much too say. They think it's safer. After everything? I guess I have to agree." And she wouldn't mind being able to see for herself that everyone was okay on a regular basis.

Peyton nodded. "Yeah. I guess in your position I'd be saying the same thing. hell, if I had a real family I probably wouldn't even be here myself."

Meg took her tennis racket from the closet and set it next to her bag. "But your are. So make the best of it."

"I will," Peyton said quietly.

She watched her for a moment. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I think I've got it under control," Meg replied. "I'm just going to get everything stuffed into my bags and they'll send someone to get them. But I didn't want to just disappear without saying good-bye and thanks. It's been fun."

Peyton nodded. "I'm glad I've got the chance to say goodbye. I've liked rooming with you."

She hesitated, then got her sketchbook, flipping through the pages till she found what she wanted. She carefully tore the page out and handed the small color version of Meg's wall that she'd used to plan out the mural. "Here. It's not much, but maybe it will remind you of some of the good times."

She took the sketch and smiled before slipping into one of her books and placing it in her laptop bag. "It will. Thank you."

darkangelsawyer April 2 2009, 01:58:49 UTC

Peyton nodded. "Then I'll just... leave you to it," she said awkwardly. "Let me know if there's anything I can do."

meg_powers April 2 2009, 02:07:14 UTC

"I'm good. Thanks though." New England reserve and way too much on her mind didn't leave Meg with the best interpersonal skills at the moment.

Peyton nodded again and retreated to her side of the room where she'd be out of the way, but handy if needed.

Meg continued quietly packing until everything was ready to be picked up. She lifted her computer bag onto her shoulder and glanced at Peyton. "I'd better go. I want to get to the hospital to visit for a bit. Thanks for everything."

darkangelsawyer April 2 2009, 02:19:09 UTC

Peyton got up and crossed the room to her, wanting to hug her, but not sure Meg would allow it. "You take care, okay? I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts."

meg_powers April 2 2009, 02:28:13 UTC

Knowing a hug was expected in a situation like this, Meg gave Peyton a quick, slightly awkward one. "Thanks. I appreciate it. Take care of yourself."

She gave one last wave then slipped from the room.
