"When you never....when you never listen, it's so frustrating, and heartbreaking....I should know. And yet you've complained about others not listening to you."

"Well that's just the way I was born."

"Why do you always insist you're right, then?"

2016-06-21 06:34:05

●

"Because I am right."

2016-06-21 06:34:23

🌀

"Not always. I don't understand, how do you think things will go on the way they are with everyone if you don't care about their input?"

2016-06-21 06:35:27

●

"...What's brought this on all of the sudden? You've never mentioned it before."

2016-06-21 06:36:56

🌀

"Every other time I tried to talk to you about it I couldn't focus enough to make a decent argument...and since it seems relevant now...."

2016-06-21 06:37:38

●

"...Then why get engaged to me? You're literally asking me to change who I am."

2016-06-21 06:38:10

🌀

"Not...change who you are....just..../consider/ other people's feelings about your actions sometimes?"

2016-06-21 06:39:25

●

"But they're my actions?"

2016-06-21 06:39:51

🌀

"That effect you in ways that make people you care about worry."

●

"Well I can't help that. If I pleased everyone I wouldn't be in New York right now."

2016-06-21 06:41:07

🌀

"That's different....not /everyone/. Just people like Lance, myself, Zane, who...want to make sure you're safe and happy."

2016-06-21 06:44:05

●

"Well my choices are my own. And /I'm/ the one in the end who is going to suffer for those choices."

2016-06-21 06:48:39

🌀

"And when you suffer, that makes other people--" Her phone suddenly started ringing and I paused.

2016-06-21 06:49:51

●

"Just a second." She answered it. "Hello?"

2016-06-21 06:50:50

🌀

There was mumbling from the other end and I heard the bedsprings creak on the other side of the wall as Madison sat up. ....hm?

2016-06-21 06:52:22

●

She just walked into his room. There was a thing called Caller ID.

2016-06-21 06:54:07

🌀

I stayed in my room for now. ...I needed to think over that conversation.

He was clutching the phone to his ear, shaking a little, and looked up when she came in. She was still here? ...she was still here.

2016-06-21 06:56:24

●

She sat down next to him and hung up the phone. "Now what was it you wanted?"

2016-06-21 06:57:15

🌀

He dropped the phone and hugged her tightly.

2016-06-21 06:58:27

●

She returned the hug just as tightly.

2016-06-21 06:59:42

🌀

He took a breath, finally, and rubbed at his eyes. "I-it happened again......" Couldn't feel. Wasn't worth....stop it. She was here now.

2016-06-21 07:02:45

●

"I'm sorry." She held him closer. "I'm here now."

2016-06-21 07:03:26

"....how do I make it go away this time....."
