					<div class="bbWrapper">It was another morning just like all of the other mornings. Annie woke up with a rating pain in her chest, frowning she hacked into her hand and drew it back to see blood. Sighing slightly, Annabelle pulled herself out of bed and to the bathroom. The room was closet sized, dingy, and something had stained the walls a gross color of brown. Looking in the mirror, Anna bent down to the slow running water and splashed her face. It was going to be another long day, playing music, and trying to earn enough money to eat...<br>
<br>
<br>
--three hours later--<br>
<br>
<br>
All Annie could remember was making it to the square where she usually played. But when she got there, she'd noticed that she was feeling especially unwell then. When she'd looked at herself in the water of the fountain, she'd looked extra pale and her normally bright eyes and hair had lost some of their color. Even though she was sick, and she knew things weren't going to change, Anna was usually very cheerful. If you weren't cheerful there wasn't much to look forward to in a life like hers. Most people would let stuff like dying tear you down, but Annie wasn't that way. Oh no. She smiled and worked hard, at least to the best of her ability.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she had started to play, everything slipped into darkness. She'd fallen back into the water, almost drowning herself from passing out. And though no one helped her much except to pull her head out of the water, someone did call 9-1-1. They showed up quickly, bur Anna was still out cold. When they rushed her to the hospital they quickly stuck her with IV's and fluids. Giving her stitches would have been more of a hassle had she not been unconscious. Fourtunately for herself, she hadn't felt a thing.<br>
<br>
<br>
Now she was looking at herself in the hospital mirror, having removed the IV's and slipping back on her own clothes. She didn't feel great, but she had to get out of here before someone realized what had caused her to faint. She'd seen doctors when she was younger, when she'd been living happily with her family. But not since then, had she had anyone look at her or her illness for any real length of time. Right now, Anna felt she'd been in the hospital long enough. There was no way that she'd be able to pay for even the slight stitching she'd discovered on the back of her head when she first woke up.<br>
<br>
<br>
Quietly, Annabelle slipped out into the hallway. There were people bustling about, running here and there. People cried in the waiting room chairs, and some slept. Everyone here looked like hell, worry lines permanently creased into their foreheads and grey purplish bags under their eyes. Even some of the nurses and doctors could hardly hold their eyes open. Frowning at a couple who was receiving devastating new from a man in a white lab coat, Anna snuck on. The doors weren't far off, but if someone noticed she was gone out of her bed before she--"HEY! STOP! YOU SHOULDN'T BE MOVING!!" A woman was calling after her, and that's when she broke into a run. When she glanced over her shoulder to see if the nurse was following her Anna smacked into another person, causing herself to fall to the ground with a thud. "I'm--I'm sorry!"</div>

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><br>
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">If apprehension was a physical manifestation, it would be a rock. If it were a rock, Levi would be under fifty thousand of them at the moment. His palms were cold, and yet they were slick with sweat at the same time. A heavy sense of nervousness was sprouting into his chest, making it hard to breathe deeply. It was so cold in the hospital too; the fluorescent lights barely gave off the same warmth than the sun did. This trip was putting him into an even snappier mood than usual, and it was evident as he waited for the elevator – arms crossed, stony-faced. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Reality tended to have that kind of numbing effect. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Seeing his expression, Priscilla reached for his hand, but he yanked it away from her grasp. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She sighed wearily, and let the offer of comfort drop. “Oh, don’t worry, I’m sure he’s fine now.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He couldn’t trust her reassurance, and instead adamantly turned away from her. The elevator opened before them, and they stepped in, riding in silence. Levi knew that he should’ve taken Priscilla’s hand. He should’ve also been more grateful and happy about the whole situation. He could also make an encyclopedia of all the things he </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>should've</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> done by now.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The elevator stopped smoothly, and they headed down the hall towards the ICU. As they rounded a corner, a loud screech could be heard. A nurse was shouting for someone to stop running, and less than a minute later, that someone had come crashing into Levi. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The fall left him disorientated for a brief second. However, when he realized that he was semi-sprawled across the floor, instinct kicked in, and he let out a string of curses. Still swearing like a sailor, he picked himself off the floor. </span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Priscilla quickly walked over, and lent a hand to the girl. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Are you okay?” She asked gently. Levi turned around to stare at her in disbelief.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“She ran into </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>me</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, and I don’t get any kind of </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘are you okay?’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
His sister paid no attention to his whining. “Go get the nurse Levi.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi's mouth fell opened, and he continued to stare at her. “No. Not my problem,” he answered hotly. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
If he was being paid to be difficult, somebody surely would've given him a raise by now.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Levi.” Her voice was reasoning with him, and yet all he heard was a patronizing tone and bossiness. Anxiety easily distorted everything, and it didn't take a lot to set him off. He was almost looking for an excuse to blow off some steam, and here was his perfect opportunity. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“What? I’m not thirteen anymore. You can go </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>suck a fuck</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, Cil.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi felt a little more than slightly guilty when the words – all sharp and angry – came out of his mouth. He could tell that Priscilla was biting back an insult by the murderous expression on her face. With her jaw clenched tightly, she pushed passed him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“For not being thirteen, you sure are acting like it,” she hissed, before running off to get the nurse herself. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
For an inexplicable reason, her statement hurt more than it should have. He knew he had brought it upon himself, and yet hadn't wanted her to get angry anyways. In fact, it made </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>him</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> even more madder that she had stormed away. Fuming, Levi marched down to the end of the hallway and smacked the button for the elevator. He whirled around to face the girl. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Well, what are you waiting for? Get the hell out before she comes back.”</span></span></div>

<br>
<br>
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk&nbsp;<br>All of it was rather confusing for Anna, more than one person was talking to her and one chasing her. Quickly Anna looked after the man who was speaking to her, he was rude, but he was also helping her...? Frowning Anna turned to run, but just as she did several nurses ran past her, picking up the other nurse with them. Someone had gone into cardiac arrest, Anna was safe for the time being, and there was no longer a reason to run.<br>
<br>
<br>
Slowing her pace Anna looked back over her shoulder to look for the person she'd smacked into before. He wasn't nice, but he was nice to look at, and Anna couldn't help but want to steal another glance. Of course, she didn't fill her head with the thought that he might give her the time of day. She looked homeless in her ratty clothes, there was no one in this town that would give someone like her any of their time. Frowning at the idea, Annabelle went looking for her guitar. She'd had it with her when she'd passed out, and she hoped to god that someone had brought it to the hospital with her.<br>
<br>
<br>
That guitar was her lively hood, it was the thing that pulled her out of bed every morning and fed her a meal at night. Anna remembered when she was first on the street, looking for work. No one wanted to hire a sickly woman who could hardly stand on her feet. So, she figured she must employ herself. When she'd found the guitar it was torn up and battered, and it took almost a month to fix. Fortunately she traded stuff for strings and a strap on the street and was able to finally start earning money. People told her she was good, but would never extend the conversation much after that. People avoiding her time and company was normal, and she'd gotten over the shock a long time ago.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sighing, Anna turned the corner, it would have to be around here somewhere wouldn't it? Her eyes scanned the hall, if no one saw her wrist band they wouldn't have known anymore than that she was visiting. She needed her guitar and then she could go, but without it she was going to be very hungry for a while.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Priscilla had so far not returned, and Levi had the sinking suspicion that he had blown one more fuse than he had intended to. So he was an abrasive and terrible person – what else was new? He figured that he should be used to being a sub-standard human being by now. Shooting off his big mouth seemed to be his only contribution to society…Along with helping to deny life insurance applications of the ill and elderly. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘I am truly a stellar person,’ </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">he thought bitterly. Maybe he did deserve whatever he was going to get from Priscilla when she came back. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Sighing, he watched as the girl began making her way down the hall. To his surprise, she didn’t go down the elevator and towards the exit like he had expected her to, but instead started roaming around. She had been quite eagerly darting out a few seconds ago, but now the patient had slowed her pace down considerably.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘Could’ve maybe walked like that and not have mowed me over just then,’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi thought irritably. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Then again, it seemed like she could afford to slow down now. The nurse who had been chasing her had left to attend to more serious matters. There were more important things to worry about in a hospital than an escaping girl. In the grand scheme of things, one person was nothing. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
In the grand scheme of things, they both didn't matter much, did they? It was a horrible way to think, but it was the way that Levi thought best.  </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
With everyone else gone, it left him alone with himself. Levi realized he was pretty much standing listlessly in the middle of the hallway. There were a few options he could take, but none that were very appealing. His was itching to go towards the ICU. However, at the same time, he wanted to evade that inevitable moment for as long as he could – or at least until Priscilla returned. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he needed his big sister.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Pulled by a sense of curiosity, he cautiously followed the girl. She was walking in a very leisurely pace, as if unaware of the danger of being caught. Whatever she was lurking around for, Levi had to admire her for her audacity for breaking rules. As he caught up to a few feet behind her, he raised his hands to cup his mouth. Very quietly, he said, “Yo, idiot, whatcha still here for?”</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Most people ignored Anna, she went from desk to desk asking about her beat up old guitar. Some shrugged, but most glanced at her and they pretended that she wasn't there. It wasn't a shock to her, but that didn't mean it wasn't just as hurtful as it would have been if it were. Frowning, Anna turned on her heels to see the same person whom she'd ran into before. He had asked her something, called her a name, but she shrugged it off. "A guitar," Anna answered honestly, "Not that it matters, no one here seems to have seen it." It was clear that this fact upset her very much.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I better go start looking for another," Anna said and started back from the direction she'd come. If no one here had her guitar there was no more point in staying to look for it. Right now she was risking being caught by the same nurse that had almost chased her all the way out of the hospital. It wouldn't be good if they basically forced her into treatment, and to be honest, it wasn't exactly the first time they'd tried. Thinking about it made Anna feel worse. She wondered if she'd feel this bad about it if she weren't already feeling so ill. But...then again she wouldn't even be here had she not collapsed in the square.<br>
<br>
<br>
Brushing past the rather...abrasive man, Anna shook her head. Why did this guy even care about what she was doing here? It was probably mild curiosity Anna decided. She did slam into him on her way out at full speed, which either one or both of them would have a bruise on their asses for later. She felt sort of bad for it at the time, but this man didn't strike her as the forgiving type, so she got over it rather quickly. "What are you doing here?" She shot the question back at him, her bright eyes locking onto him. She'd stopped and glanced over her shoulder at him before turning back to face him.<br>
<br>
<br>
The question didn't seem to sit with the man well, his face made a sort of contorted toutured expression. Again, Anna felt bad, but got over it quickly when his expression turned stony again, "You shouldn't ask questions when you're not prepared to give answers yourself." It was matter of fact in her tone. Without another word she turned back on her heels, and went for the exit. She had to get out and make some sort of money and she'd wasted too much time as it was.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“A guitar,” Levi repeated, slightly amused. She seemed to be upset about the fact that she had lost it. “Why’d you bring a guitar with you to here?” She didn’t answer his question, and instead started walking back from the direction she had come in. He was kind of curious as to why she was fleeing St. Luke’s in the first place. Most people wanted to stay until they were feeling better, didn’t they? However, before he had the chance to ask, the girl had shot him back with his own question. Immediately, he could a feel a glare cross onto his face. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
What kind of game was she playing at? </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Of course, he could tell her the truth. Yet, nothing was that simple to give away in his head. She was a stranger, and strangers had to pry the truth from his cold, dead hands. In fact, most people he’d call </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>friends</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, would have to do the same. Friends deserved lies and careful quick-stepping – They received something cautiously crafted especially to cater towards them. The best a stranger got was silence. The worst was a string of nonsensical words, or a heavy dose of mockery, and that was exactly what was going to come out of his mouth.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh gosh,” Levi answered, full-speed sarcasm coursing through his words, “Gee, I wonder what I could </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>possibly</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> be doing at a hospital? Maybe just doing some casual Saturday afternoon grocery shopping? Picking up some IV bags and anesthetics for dinner? Yeah, that’s got to be it.” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Personally, he found his answer to be sufficient enough, but evidently the girl did not. Her subsequent words caused him to scowl. However, before he could say anything else, she had already turned on her heels towards the exit. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi had the most childish urge to stamp his foot on the ground, cross his arms, and answer, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘shut the fuck up.’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He ended up not doing any of those things. Instead, he stood aimlessly in the hallway once again. This time, he took a spot at an empty chair in the hall, burying his head in his hands. Barely a second later, Levi felt a slap across the back of his head. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Ow!” he exclaimed, pulling his hands away from his face to meet Priscilla’s blue eyes. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She started walking away from him, wordless save for a quick “let’s go.”</span></span></div>

<br>
<br>
Anna ended up finding her guitar, but it wasn't until it had already started falling dark. "Great," She'd thought to herself, picking it up and frowning. It was crappy enough that instead of someone stealing it, she found it in the garbage. Three of the strings were busted, and the strap ripped. It had taken her forever to make it, but now there wasn't much she could do for it. Anna could afford the materials to fix it or make a new one, but if she were lucky she'd find more. Sighing, Anna decided it would be best for her to look for something to eat.<br>
<br>
<br>
So, she strapped her shitty guitar to her back and started toward the nicer part of town. She wasn't feeling too great, considering she hadn't the funds or the time to eat that day. Anna rubbed her eyes, the streets were blurring in the creeping darkness, and most people were already tucked away in restaurants, or bars. Most people around here seemed to have some money, even if it didn't seem like much to them. But to her all of these people were rich. It made her sick, seeing this people throw money around so carelessly.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sighing, Annabelle started down the sidewalk, looking around for maybe one kind face. All she needed was a few bucks and she could get something. Anything would have been great, but right now even with her being so hungry Anna was having a hard time focusing on food. The night air was chilling her badly enough that all Anna wanted to do was curl in on herself. As she was walking, her arms hugged around herself, Anna spotted something and got an idea.<br>
<br>
<br>
In an alley way beneath a dim street lamp was a dumpster. Being behind a restaurant the garbage couldn't be that gross, right? The thought did gross her out, but she didn't think she had much of a choice. If no one saw her, then she wouldn't get in trouble, so she waited at the edge of the alley looking for anyone who might have their eye on her. Cause, you know, Anna stuck out like a sore thumb when she was on this side of town. People staring at her wouldn't have been all that uncommon.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“What the hell? Are you trying to kill yourself? I said one drink!” Priscilla said, half furious, half alarmed.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She had a right to be; after all she had left Levi on his own for about a grand total of five minutes. In the first sixty seconds of those five minutes, he had slammed down five shots on an empty stomach. So he wasn’t trying to kill himself, but he was trying to get extraordinarily drunk in a short amount of time. It wasn’t an eased-into-a-buzz kind of situation; it was a hit-with-a-brick </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>wasted</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> kind of wanting. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Well you’re not the boss of me,” he answered, sounding incredibly juvenile. He realized this fact, but didn’t bother to fix his words. As if trying to placate her a little, he added, “Oh relax Cil, I’m fine.” But he had never been good at drinking his feelings. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Twenty minutes later, Levi was puking his guts out on the side of the road.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The colours of the streetlights swam before his eyes, as his throat burned furiously from the stomach acid. He felt so very light-headed, and was only vaguely aware of what was going on around him. The ground was spinning very gently, but the motion was enough to disorientate him. Levi could feel himself being hauled away and hoisted up. He looked to his left, and got an eye-full of Priscilla’s hair. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I’m calling dad,” she announced, trying to retrieve her cell phone from her purse while balancing Levi at her side.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“No, you’re not,” he answered as firmly as he could – undermined by the fact that he was slurring his words slightly.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Priscilla said, “Unless you want your car towed by the city, then I think I am. C’mon now, I’m driving you home.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He was half-dragged across the street and towards the spot where her car was parked. They passed a few shops and restaurants on the way, and Levi turned his head to look at all the bright lights. It was all very pretty, he realized, all very pretty...Then, he spotted a figure standing alone in an alleyway. Surprisingly enough, he recognized her face from earlier in the day, and his  mouth remembered her faster than his memory did. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh heeey. It’s the hospital idiot,” he called out without thinking – not that he </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>could </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">think very clearly in his current drunken state.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Priscilla did something of a double take, glancing in the direction that he had indicated. She turned to Levi, glaring at him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“You told me a nurse picked her up,” she said. She changed direction and started walking towards the girl, pulling him along.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Yeah, well, since when was I a reliable source on anything?”</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna couldn't help but jump when someone clearly drunk, was addressing her directly. How he'd noticed her in the dark she didn't know, but they knew her, and she knew them. That is, the drunk man and the woman who was some how being drug along by him. Stepping hesitantly into the light, Anna frowned. He didn't look so good, though that wasn't much to be said from when she'd seen him earlier in the day. "Oh heeeeey, it's the pompous asshole!" Anna mocked back, matching his tone all but without the slurring.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was a joke, and that was clear being that she made eye contact with the woman and smiled at her. This guy was an ass she'd gathered that much, but she didn't know him well enough to know much of anything about it. Therefore, Anna felt that being offended by anything this guy would say, would be pointless. If she didn't care about someone, why care about what they said? It was something Annabelle had learned along time ago, something that helped her not be so easily shocked or hurt by the people around her. No one seemed to give her the time of day normally, so even if it were in the dark and the guy was plastered, he remembered her and spoke to her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna now had her arms crossed over her chest and was looking at the two who were now somewhat stopped in front of her. They swayed back and forth as the woman tried to keep her less than sober companion on his feet. "Looks like you've got your hands full," Anna said, pointing out the obvious. If the conversation stayed off her, Anna didn't mind having one, but she was out of there if it switched. "Rough day?" She asked, looked back to the man who was eyeing her. "You know...I've got a killer recipe for a drink that'll cure a hang over." It was something she'd learned from some others who lived on the streets or in crappy apartments like hers.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I think he might need it, cause he's gonna be feeling that one tomorrow," Anna chuckled slightly. Laughing wasn't something she did too often and so she shocked herself slightly when she did so. Though, she wouldn't have put it past herself to be subconsciously forcing out laughter to keep the mood light. Anna turned and snatched up her guitar, and walked toward the two of them, but when she got closer she couldn't help but notice that one of the party decided to move back. "I-I know a good place to get some food in him." Anna said rather forwardly. This wasn't like her, and this guy was an asshat, but there was something about him that made her want to know him. Something that told herself to help him, and understand him. She'd felt the same when she had ran into him at the hospital, but was too focused on leaving to think about it further.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“Uh, yeah,” Priscilla answered, sounding slightly unsure. She seemed like she wanted to say something else, but quickly swallowed back her words and listened instead. It was obvious as to why she was hesitant, seeing as the girl hardly looked like she belonged on this side of town in her ratty clothes, never mind the fact that she had very apparently escaped from a hospital. Still, she stayed put anyways, and couldn’t help but smile at her comment.“Oh, whatever he feels tomorrow is going to be well deserved. This moron hardly ever thinks straight.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi protested at that comment. “I’m going t’be fiiiine,” he insisted, trying to pull himself upright. He shrugged Priscilla off in an attempt to walk by himself. However, his balance wasn’t exactly on point at the moment. Luckily enough, he was pulled back into safety by his sister before any catastrophically embarrassing falls had taken place. Deep down, he was ninety-nine percent sure that tomorrow morning was going to be one of the worst days of his life. There was no way he was going to admit that though. He felt great </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>now</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, and that was all that he had wanted. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Um, okay sure,” Priscilla finally answered after a moment of consideration, glancing at the swaying Levi. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“We haven’t had dinner yet anyways. I guess you can give the directions while I drive us there.” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
With that said, she began to tug Levi towards the silver SUV; glancing back to make sure the girl was following. It was a little weird to give a stranger a ride after just meeting her, but she seemed harmless enough. Besides, it would probably do both of them some good. That didn’t stop Levi from complaining very loudly at the turn of events. He was promptly shushed and ignored. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Priscilla loaded Levi up into the backseat, strapped him in, and as an afterthought, rolled down the window.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“If you feel like tossing your cookies, please try to stick you head out and not do it in the car,” she suggested to him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Then, she shut the car door, making her way over to the driver’s seat. Before she got in, she turned to the girl.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Right, almost forgot. Um, I’m Priscilla,” she said, introducing herself. “And the backseat blockhead’s called Levi.”</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It was weird for Anna to be so willingly brought over to someone's car. What she'd expected was for the woman to scoff at her, roll her eyes, and then leave. But, to her surprise the woman who identified herself as Priscilla was waiting for her to get in, without much hesitation it seemed. "Oh, Annabelle, but I prefer Annie or Anna," She introduced herself and gave a shy smile.<br>
<br>
<br>
Stepping toward the the car Anna hesitated, "A-are you sure you want me in your car?" She asked rather bluntly. Anna looked herself over with a frown. It wasn't like she was all that clean, though she couldn't help not being able to afford the things she needed to keep her clean. Anna didn't think she smelled, but of course that was relative considering she lived with it most days.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I-i could just tell you where it is, and you two can go," Anna glanced back at the whining man child in the back seat. He looked like he was ready to throw up, but even so he still mumbled complaints about their plans. Besides, the place she was telling them to go to, wasn't exactly friendly with her. They told her once that she drove away business, though when she asked how they ignored her. None the less they'd kicked her out and she was told not to come back.<br>
<br>
<br>
"It's down on 34th and Elm," Anna continued, not really giving Priscilla a chance to answer, "Not far from here, and I don't know that you would need to drive anyway..." Her voice trailed off and she looked back to Levi who wiggled uncomfortably in his seat, "It might be better for him to walk it off, he doesn't look so good," She said, though she knew it were obvious. If anything, Anna didn't want to get into the car, or step inside the restaurant. It would only serve for awkward unpleasantness, something that she wasn't ready to sit through. Besides that, she had no money and therefore had no business walking into a restaurant and sitting down, ban or not.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It kind of hit her that Annabelle was </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>poor</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">. Not the kind of "deprived", where some of her friends complained about not being able to afford the new upgraded phone or laptop, but really and actually poor. She should've noticed sooner, as it was quite obvious in Anna's disheveled appearance. However, she had been rather preoccupied with the ever-problematic Levi. Priscilla hadn't been realized until the moment Anna hesitated getting into her car. The moment suddenly turned awkward. She wasn't sure what to say in response, and her cheeks tinged pink in slight embarrassment. Trying to remain polite, Priscilla nodded in agreement.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Well...Thank you," she stated, "I'm just going to take the car option because I don't really feel like carrying Levi down another few blocks. He's just going to have to suck it up and hold it in." As if on cue, Levi knocked on the window glass. "Are we goin' somewhere now or not?" He asked, his voice growing quieter towards the end of the sentence. He was feeling sleepier by the second. He wasn't sure if that was an effect of the alcohol, or that it was the fact that he just wanted to escape his head already.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
With a sigh, Priscilla quickly climbed into the driver's seat, starting up the engine. Before she pulled away from the parking spot, she looked back up at Anna again. She was feeling kind of bad  that she was leaving this girl all on her own. She had no reason to be, after all, it wasn't </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>her</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> responsibility. Still, she couldn't help but feel the slightest bit sorry for Anna. She could afford to extend out some sort of helping hand, couldn't she? As an added thought, she rolled down her window.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Um. Are you sure you want us to go ahead? Y-you're welcomed to join us, if you like," Priscilla said tentatively. She smiled a little sheepishly, but didn't want to appear to be rude. It was one dinner, it wouldn't hurt, even if it was going to be extremely weird. Besides, she was going to need someone to help to keep Levi on his feet for a little while longer. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Ann felt a weird sort of tinge, the way that Priscilla was looking at her hand changed. There was something of a realization in her eyes and tone, and it was definitely something that she'd heard before. How Priscilla hand't seen her before, like <i>really </i>seen her was beyond Anna's comprehension. To her it seemed rather obvious, and most people seemed to think it was too. They avoided her on the street, scowled and wrinkled their noses. But, it wasn't until a moment ago that Priscilla was doing the same thing that most others did.<br>
<br>
<br>
"No, that's okay," She said and waved a hand like it didn't matter to her one way or the other. Really, Anna would have loved to have a hot meal, but she wasn't a charity case. Often times, if people weren't giving her dirty looks and avoiding her; others would treat her as though she were something to be fixed. But, then something always happened, and they dumped her right back out on the street again. "I'm not feeling all that great anyways," Anna admitted. "Goodnight," She said and turned from the car to head down the sidewalk toward home.<br>
<br>
<br>
But, as she walked, Anna felt the other woman's eyes on her. It was weird to her, but she almost felt the relief radiating off of her when she'd declined. While Annabelle was lost in thought, she didn't notice that when she cough blood spurted into her hand. It was a sign of another episode but she was too busy thinking about something else to see it. Unfortunately, it only took a few more steps to set in.<br>
<br>
<br>
The rough coughing that echoed in the empty street, and the blood. Collapsing to her knees, Anna hacked and held her sides with her own arms. Tears were streaming down her face, but not because Anna was sad but the strong pain she felt with every cough got worse. A small string of spitty blood trickled down her chin and she squeezed her eyes shut. "Ow, ow ow!" She muttered to herself in between coughs. The only thing she could do now was hope that her fit would pass without her fainting.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“Okay,” Priscilla answered with a nod. Secretly, she was a little relieved, while another part was feeling slightly guilty as well. It was strange, but she just wasn't sure how to interact with people who lived on a completely different plane - a fourth dimension essentially. Watching Anna walk away, she wondered if she shouldn't have pressed the offer at all. It didn't matter now, as it was too late to change what had happened. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Pushing those thoughts away, Priscilla glanced over her shoulder to make sure Levi was still holding up. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He had his eyes closed now, his head leaning on the window. She couldn’t tell if he had passed out or not, and she wasn’t quite in the mood to find out. Briefly, she wondered if he was still taking his medication. If he wasn’t – well, that would explain something. It was just one more thing to report back to the parents, seeing as her brother didn’t care to visit very often. With a heavy sigh, She started pulling out of the parking spot.</span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It wasn’t much use to take him to eat now. She might as well just drop him off before driving back to Providence. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>'Oh well, some takeout will do-'</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> But before she managed to finish that thought, a voice piped up from behind. “Cil?”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Startled, Priscilla turned her head towards Levi. So he was still awake after all. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Yeah?” She answered. For awhile, it was only silence. Had she imagined it? But then -  </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I’m so tired,” Levi whispered with his eyes still closed. He sounded like he was on the verge of tears. She had not expected this. This was not something she could deal with. For the longest time, she remained silent, unable to find a proper response to his words.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“…Just get some sleep,” she finally replied rather lamely. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>'Shit, say something else!'</i></span></span><br>
<br>
 <br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
However, she never got the chance; her train of thought was quickly cut off once again by the sound of coughing echoing across the lot. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Curiously, she looked back out the window.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Priscilla could see Anna a little distance away, but she was no longer standing. By the looks of things, she was very much hacking her lungs out. It became apparent very fast why she had been in the hospital in the first place.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh shit,” Priscilla said to herself. She automatically got out of her car, making her way quickly over to Anna.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Are you okay?” She asked urgently. Evidently not, she realized, as she watched as the blood spewing out with each cough. Taking in a huge breath, she tried to calm herself down. “Oh god, I’m calling an ambulance,” she said, trying to extract her phone from her bag.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Annabelle had to use everything in her to throw herself back up onto her feet. Going back to the hospital was something that she definitely couldn't do. "N-no!" Anna started, her voice in a wheeze, "I'm fine really, this happens sometimes." Her tone despite the pain was matter of fact as though this had happened a million times over. Which, let's be honest, it has happened to her more times than she could count. "I-It's freaky, I know...but I-I'm fine." She lied trying to convince Priscilla that she could handle this herself.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Thanks for stopping though," Anna thanked her and started to walk down the side walk, a handover her mouth. She was using the side of a building as a crutch, and it was also clear that she was doing her best to hold in each cough as it came. Of course it didn't exactly work and every now and then managed to make her coughing sound worse. But she stumbled on hoping that Priscilla would be like any other rich person, and move on. Hopefully she'd forget about it, move on with her life, and she wouldn't have to see her again.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It was pretty obvious to Priscilla that the “freaky” episode was not a sign of somebody who was “fine.” However, she paused the for search for her cell phone, and looked up at conflicted between doing what had been asked of her, and doing what she thought was right. Rather helplessly, she watched Annabelle soldier on slowly across the parking lot. In a fraction of a second before it happened, Priscilla was certain that Anna was going to fall. Maybe because she looked like she was three steps away from death, or maybe her coughing had intensified in the last few seconds. In an instant, Anna was collapsing like a heap of bricks. She landed on the pavement with a dull thud.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh god,” Priscilla breathed, her eyes widening in realization. She scrambled over, kneeling down in front of Anna. As calmly as possible, she flipped the body over and checked for all the vital signs – and just for good measure, she lightly slapped Anna’s face a few times. The girl was still very much pumping blood and breathing, but she was out cold, cold, cold. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Although she was on the verge of freaking out, Priscilla took in a deep breath and stood back a bit. She would have to take this situation in objectively. She tried to consider her options – not that she had a lot to choose from. First thing first, and that was she couldn’t just leave Anna lying in a parking lot. If her coughing didn’t kill her, a car sure would. With some dragging and carrying and pulling, Priscilla managed to get Anna strapped into the backseat with Levi. Now she was responsible for two majorly unconscious people, and </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>wow Christmas must’ve come early.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Oh god, she was also beginning to sound way too much like Levi.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She had no idea what to do, but nevertheless started the car. Annabelle didn’t seem like she was waking up anytime soon, she had refused an ambulance, Levi was still completely wasted, and she had a long drive back to Providence. Perhaps that was a tremendous amount to think about, and perhaps her judgment wasn’t running as smoothly as usual, because she had the wild idea that </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>maybe she could drop Anna off with Levi.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> In hindsight, the idea was probably terrible, but it made a lot of sense in that moment. After all, they were barely five minutes away from where he lived. It would just be the night, until Anna woke up, and Priscilla could drive her home or something. It made her wary that she was putting a stranger in his house, but she was passed out and seemed harmless enough. Besides, it wasn’t like Levi was likely to wake up before noon. He was never going to know…</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
By some miraculous, inhuman strength, Priscilla managed to get her unconscious passengers onto the fifteenth floor of the apartment building. With a weary sigh, she fished out the keys from Levi’s pocket and pushed open the door to his unit. She didn’t bother to flip on the lights, but instead unceremoniously dumped her brother on his bed. He stirred only slightly before curling up into his blankets. Barely pausing, Priscilla half-dragged Anna onto the couch, probably nearly decapitating the girl in the process of maneuvering around the furniture. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Just to top it all off, she even fed the cat. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘I deserve a prize,’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> she thought with a bitter taste in her mouth. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But this wasn’t anything new, was it?</span></span></div>

<br>
It wasn't until about noon that Anna even stirred, she'd laid in one position basically all night only her head moved once or twice. Had anyone been awake to hear it, Annabelle talked in her sleep. Often she was plagued with nightmares and whimpered, or spoke softly as she dreamed them. Her eyebrows would crease and she look sad, though when she woke up her expression was never too much different. Blinking, Anna sat up and looked around. She felt stiff and sore, having smacked into the pavement of a parking lot the night before.<br>
<br>
<br>
It took her a long moment to realize that she hadn't made it home last night, and that she wasn't in a hospital. In fact she was in someone's home, and it was quiet. No one was in the room with her, and Anna wasn't sure what it was she was supposed to do now. Had someone picked her up and taken her home? Anna vaguely remembered being in someone's car, but she'd been so out of that she'd fallen unconscious again.<br>
<br>
<br>
For a split moment Anna became horrified and checked her clothes. Fortunately they were all still in place, and she didn't feel any different than any other time she did when she passed out in public. Now Anna stood, and started walking around, wondering whose home she was in. It was very nice, and reminded her of something out of a catalog. It didn't seem like who ever lived here spent much time living here. Everything was neatly in place, and had a fine layer of dust. Stuff on the shelves like books and vases didn't move often and even the TV remote to often either.<br>
<br>
<br>
Walking around Anna noticed there weren't many pictures around of people, and the ones that were Anna had no idea who the people were. She decided that it might be best to look out the window, maybe then she'd get an idea of how far from home she actually was. When she drew back the curtains and let her eyes adjust the to view, her stomach sank. She wasn't very far from her old house, her fathers home. She was grateful to be inside now, knowing that she wouldn't accidentally bump into him on the street.<br>
<br>
<br>
Whipping around after shutting the curtains Anna walked back to the middle of the room, "Hello?" She finally called out, wondering if anyone was even here with her at all.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Sunlight streamed through the windows, swirls of dust dancing in the glow. The light washed over Levi, painting him gold, and warming his skin. Gradually, he stirred awake, and his eyes slowly opened. There was a desk full of pencils and papers, a laptop blinking at him, an easel in the corner of the room, clothes strewn over the laundry basket by the bathroom door, and a poster of a banana tacked on the wall above it. He was very obviously in his own bedroom, yet he could not – for the life of him – remember how he got here. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The reason became evident enough when he tried to sit up.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
His head was pounding on a massive scale, and felt as if it was clogged with water. At the same time, his stomach was having fun doing a few acrobatic stunts. Everything was spinning madly, and he raised a hand to his head as if he could steady the motion. With a groan, he rolled away from the windows, and to his bed stand. The digital letters on the clock indicated that it was now nine a.m. Very gingerly, he picked himself out of bed into a standing position. When he didn't collapse in a puddle of pain, Levi shuffled towards the bathroom.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
One long, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>long</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> shower later, he felt a little better, but not by too much. He got dressed into his pajamas, slung a towel over his shoulders, and headed straight to the medicine cabinet over the sink. Levi pulled out a white bottle, pouring out a blue pill into his hand. He drew some water from the tap, and gulped down the tablet, before hastily stuffing the bottle back into place. He was looking forward to a nice cup of tea and a day of doing absolutely </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>nothing.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> With that goal in mind, he exited his bedroom to look for something to drink.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
There were certain things that Levi could not remember from the previous night. One of those things was </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>how the hell did this random girl get into his house.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> In front of him, was his couch. In front of him, was the girl he had met in the hospital. In front of him, was the girl he had met in the hospital </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>on his couch.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi desperately tried to rack his brains for something, but he came up blank and confused. All he remember was going out to the bar, feeling particularly insolent, and Priscilla...Priscilla! He scrambled for the phone.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She picked up after only two rings.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"What. The. Actual. Fuck." Levi said furiously before she even had the chance to say </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>hello.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Holy shit Levi, I didn't think you'd wake this early-"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"What the fuck happened? Why the fuck is there a person in my living room?" He was yelling rather loudly now, but with a backwards glance to the girl, he saw that she was still asleep.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Shh, shh...That's Annabelle-" </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Oh yes, because knowing it's name makes it so much better!"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Don't be so rude-"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"What the fuck!?"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Can you just shut up, and let me explain? She fainted last night after you passed out in the car. I wasn't sure what to do, so I brought her back to your place. I was just going to come and get her before you woke up, but of course that didn't work according to plan."</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Uh, you could've just left her there, simple solution where everybody wins!"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Well, it's too late now, isn't it? Just make sure she stays put until I get there."</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Nuh-uh, I'm not babysitting some-"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Oh shush Levi. I could've just left </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>you</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> there."</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
That shut him up.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
For the next two hours, he spent his time locked up in his bedroom. This was way too weird for him, and he was begging for the time to move faster. Finally, his growling stomach got the best of him, and he had to venture out for some lunch. Levi passed the living room, staring at Annabelle as he contemplated whether waking her up would be a good idea. In the end, he walked on, and into the kitchen to fix himself up something.

Anna jumped when someone's voice responded, it was a man, and a rather crabby one at that. How she'd gotten here wasn't something she was certain of, but it didn't seem like whoever was talking to her now wanted her there. "I-I'm sorry!" Anna called back, frowning. This mystery person almost frightened her, she wasn't sure what else to do but leave.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'll just be going, Thank you for everything!" She called and went for  the door. The sooner she got out of this place the happier both the mystery man and Anna would be. It made her uncomfortable to be here, feeling more than unwelcome. She hadn't asked to come here, in fact she wouldn't have blamed anyone for just leaving her out in the street. Somehow she would have stumbled her way home, and collapse in a pool of blood for it.<br>
<br>
<br>
With the thought of blood Anna made a face, her mouth tasted sour. Last night had been one of her worse attacks yet, and her stomach growled loudly from it's lack of food. When she moved to quickly for the door the room spun, last night had been one of the worst in a while. Maybe she'd be lucky enough today to make some money so that she could  have something to eat. It hadn't occurred to her to ask for food while she was in a strangers home. Then again, she'd would have never asked had she even thought about it. Anna wasn't the kind of person to ask things of others when she had nothing to give in return.<br>
<br>
<br>
In her haste to run out of the apartment, Anna bumped into an end table rather loudly. It skidded on the hard wood and sent what ever it was on top of it to the floor. It seemed to be a candle that had never been lit and some books that had probably only been read once. "Oh no..." Anna mumbled and knelt down trying to pick everything up.<br>
<br>
<br>
Right now Anna was letting herself get far too worked up about the whole situation. Her head had begun pounding and spinning, doing it's on little version of a carousel ride. If she didn't calm down another episode was sure to follow, so she sat there a moment and took a few deep breaths. Everything would be fine when she got out into the afternoon sun, it would be fine. Anna now focused her mind on the task of putting everything back the way that she'd found it. Whoever this place belonged to, she probably figured they wouldn't like her touching their things.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><br>
</span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"I'll just be going, Thank you for everything!" </i></span></span><br>

Her voice reached Levi, and he wondered vaguely if he should stop her. After all, he had promised that he would keep this person here until Priscilla managed to arrive. Then again, he was in no mood to move. If she left on her own, wouldn’t it be as easy as just denying responsibility? When did he care so much about keeping his word? Before he could wrap his mind over his thoughts, a loud bang came from the living room. He was so startled by the sudden sound, that he had almost dropped his spoon on the kitchen floor. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Half-annoyed, half-concerned, Levi went to check what had just happened. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"I said go back to sleep, not run over a table and send everything flying," Levi said, strolling back into the living room in time to see a few items knocked over to the ground. He was ready explode into a tirade of annoyance, but was undermined by the fact that Annabelle was already beginning to put everything back into place. He stared at her for a few seconds, before taking a seat in the armchair. Levi balanced his bowl of cereal on the armrest, and began spooning the chocolate puffs into his mouth. In between bites, he spoke.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Sit down. Don't move. Don't speak. Don't do anything but breathe a bit or whatever. She's coming to get you." </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
And with that curt response out of the way, Levi turned back to his food once again. For awhile he ate in silence, drank his milk, and then put the porcelain bowl on the glass coffee table. He was still feeling awful, and didn’t have as nearly as much energy as he would’ve liked to deal with a situation like this. At the moment, all he wanted to do was take some aspirin and go back to his cocoon of blankets. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
However, he did owe Priscilla a helping hand. There was no point in pissing her off some more.  </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Annabelle frowned, and only stood staring at the familiar face. She had no idea who'd she'd ended up with, having figured that Levi and Priscilla were long gone by the time she'd passed out. But, it seemed to her that she was wrong, very very wrong. <i>Shit </i>she thought with an internal sigh, of course this would happen to her. "You know, just because you tell someone something doesn't mean that they have to obey," Anna said with a little more venom than she intended.<br>
<br>
<br>
She wasn't feeling well which caused for more of a crabby mood, plus the fact that she hadn't eaten. The smell of process chocolate and wheat wafted over to her as she stood. When he was done eating, all Anna could do was look away hoping he didn't notice her staring. "Look, I don't want to be here any more than you want me here," Anna stepped back toward the door. Having stepped into a patch of light, Anna's hair shone brightly and ti served to give her skin a sort of porcelain glow.<br>
<br>
<br>
Her bright green eyes scanned the room before she turned on her heels and went for the door. It was getting late, and if Anna wanted to get out of this part of town she'd have to do it now. "I need to leave, lucky you," She said sarcastically, and pulled on the knob of the door before stepping out into the hallway. The place was much bigger than she'd expected it to be, and though there were two options it seemed that neither led her to an actual exit. But, it didn't stop her from walking, so she took off to the right and hoped maybe she would find an elevator or some stairs. Something to get her out of here and away from Levi who clearly hated the site of her. The last thing she wanted to do was spend her afternoon with someone who was hung over and felt sick at the sight of her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Of course, Anna didn't know if that was completely true, but the look on his face when he looked at her told her otherwise.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“Nuh-uh. You’re in my house. So my house rules. And right now, you’re grounded,” he replied sardonically, as he sank deeper into the armchair. Levi stared rather distractedly out the large windows of the apartment unit, a portion of his mind roaming elsewhere outside. However, when he heard Anna’s subsequent words, he looked back up at her again. Before he could say another word, he caught a glimpse of her red hair as she closed the door behind her. “Oh fuck,” Levi mumbled for what seemed like the hundredth time that morning. Despite his annoyance, he was also partially amused. He always appreciated people who did and said what they wanted. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
In no mood to go on a high-speed chase, Levi picked up the phone instead.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Hey Cil,” he said after his sister had picked up.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh God. What happened?” Priscilla sounded so weary from the other end.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Hey now. Don’t assume the worst. But uh…Where are you at?” He was struggling to sound nonchalant.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Almost here. I’m, coming up the elevator…”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Perfect. Because she’s probably coming down the elevator.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Before he got a massive lecture, Levi hung up as quickly as possible.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“What-?” But she was cut off by the dead silence on the other end. Exasperated, she stuffed her cell phone back into her pocket. She had asked him to do </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>one thing</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, and yet he </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>still</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> managed to do a shoddy job of watching over Annabelle. Oh well, if she was feeling healthy enough to escape, then she surely was healthy enough to walk home? Maybe she was worrying too much about a responsibility that wasn’t even her own. Priscilla got off the lift on the fifteenth floor, and started walking down the hall. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Out of extraordinarily great timing and a little bit of luck, she rounded a corner and came face to face with Annabelle. For a second, she stood still, blinking in surprise. Finally, she found her voice and began speaking, slightly flustered.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Uh hi,” Priscilla said sheepishly, running her fingers through her hair. She was looking for something to say about the whole situation. “Um…Sorry I kind of just dumped you here, I wasn’t sure where you lived and all that…I hope it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience.” She paused for a little bit longer. “So…Um. I brought lunch?” She suggested lamely, raising the plastic bag in her hands, as if a sort of an apology for the  current circumstances. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna was slightly shocked when she ran into Priscilla, but on the outside she only smiled. This person was the one who picked her up of the street, though she didn't have to, and took her back here. "It's nothing to be sorry for. I appreciate the help, really." Anna told her, her smile growing even warmer. "To be honest, I wouldn't have been surprised had you just left me there, like most people..." She said off handed and waved a hand loosely in the air.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Having help twice in one day isn't something I'm used to." Annabelle laughed at that, but stopped when Priscilla didn't seem to think it was funny as she did. It wasn't funny really, more of a sad sort of ironic situation that Anna liked to laugh about because if she didn't...she worried she might cry. Crying wasn't an option anymore, she'd done to much of it in her past and now it was time to live her life the best she could and stop wasting it on tears.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Lunch," She repeated, the shock clear on her face. "I don't know that I should go back into your brothers apartment," Anna admitted and frowned, "Every time he looks at me I think he's going to be sick....though I'm not sure I blame him all that much." She looked herself up and down before shaking her head. "But, it's really sweet of you to offer...you're one of the nicest people I've met in a long time." She said and gave her shockingly beautiful smile once more.<br>
<br>
<br>
Of course, there was more than the lack of friendliness from Levi that made her want to leave. The longer she waited the more people were up and about walking the streets. She hadn't been in this part of town in years, but she refused to risk someone possibly recognizing her. It would have been humiliating to run into family members and old classmates. But, even worse than that would be to run into her Father, the man whom abandoned her for his money. Just the thought of seeing that cruel man made her stomach turn. "I really should get going," Anna urged, and side stepped to get past Prsicilla.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna bit her lip, it wasn't often someone offered her a meal let alone one from a restaurant. It was strange, being treated as more than a low life street rat. Most people in this area of the city gagged at the site of her. "I think his head might explode if I come back inside," Anna teased, trying to give her best giggle and smile. It was hard not to act nervous around these people...people like her Father, a cruel and heartless man with only his love for money in his soul.<br>
<br>
<br>
"And just to warn you, Levi is probably going to complain about me AND the food, he just slammed down a bowl of cereal like...five minutes ago." Anna told Priscilla and shrugged, finally giving in to her plight. Now it was too late to be walking openly around the streets. If Anna was going to kill anytime and get out of the area without being noticed she'd have to kill some time first. It wouldn't have been her ideal place to stop and hide out considering she wasn't feeling well and the owner of the apartment wanted to throw her from the roof. But, if there was a meal involved Anna figured it wouldn't hurt.<br>
<br>
<br>
Walking back didn't take too long, but for some reason it seemed that the hallway had grown longer while they'd chatted. Going back was something she didn't want to have to do, but now their really wasn't much of a choice, "I want to thank you again," Anna told Priscilla just as she was casually opening the apartment door and stepping inside. It was clear to her that it was normal of her not to knock, and barge in like she'd owned the place. There was some sort of odd confidence about her, like if she didn't outshine anyone and everyone in the room she might crack.<br>
<br>

"Guess who's back," Anna announced as she  walked into the room, just making it a point that Priscilla had invited her back. Something about Levi made Annabelle want to throw him off of the roof as well...but there was something else too, that made her want to smile at him and bat her eyelashes. Though, she some how managed to keep herself from the latter of the two. And not only that, but there was a strange satisfaction of the two of them bickering back and forth. He may have been an ass, but at least he was an ass to everyone equally it seemed. She was no different to him than any other ass-hat that happened to walk into his life.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Levi carefully stroked the top of Piper’s head, running his fingers softly behind her ears. The cat was all curled up on his lap, her head resting in the crook of his arm. He stared down at the heavy ball of white fur. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>'You have it easy,’ </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">he thought. If it wasn’t too much to ask for, he would want to be reborn as a cat in another life. Levi shifted slightly in the kitchen chair, careful not to disturb Piper. He leaned forward a bit, titling his head in order to see her face. Her eyes were half-closed, and he let his hands rest on her back. There was nothing more calming or real in life than petting a kitty.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Unfortunately, the short moment of peace was broken, as the door swung open again. As he saw Anna, a scowl appeared across his face. So he could not get as angry at Priscilla as he would’ve liked. She had taken care of a bunch of things yesterday – including him. However, he could definitely, one hundred percent rag on Anna without feeling the least bit guilty about the situation. His head was still pounding, pounding, pounding; having to deal with people didn’t make it any better. Briefly that morning, he had contemplated if he should’ve just gone ahead and gotten drunk some more to forget he was hung-over. Then he realized that was horrible idea. Levi </span></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">needed</span></span></i><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> to take the edge off of his pain, and if he couldn’t do it physically…Here was his chance to unleash everything into a verbal spew of aggression. Hostility was brewing and seeping into his veins.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Priscilla, however, largely ignored the volcano that was waiting to erupt. Instead, she started unloading the plastic containers of food on the kitchen island. She placed a few plates and forks out on the granite surface. "Help yourself," she said to Anna, pushing a plate in her direction. With a handful of utensils, she looked over her shoulder at Levi. "Are you going to eat?...I have penne," she added a pause later. So she had bought his favourite kind of pasta – with all the ridges and whatnot – but he wasn't going to be persuaded that easily by food. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"I'm not hungry," he grumbled. Levi was quiet for a few minutes. The festering feeling of annoyance was growing, but he calmed it down enough to start speaking. “So…” Levi started very deliberately, staring at Anna, “Why were you at St. Luke’s yesterday? Like, what the fuck’s wrong with you anyways?” The question settled awkwardly into the conversation. He felt a great sense of satisfaction, and yet a great sense of weariness he hadn’t expected. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna stiffened slightly at Levi's expression. It wasn't exactly what she'd been expecting, though beyond annoyance she wasn't exactly sure what she WAS expecting. Despite that, Anna followed Priscilla and wasted no time grabbing food once it was offered to her. This was going to be the first time she'd had a hot meal in probably two years. Once a while back someone had taken her to a soup kitchen of sorts and she'd had the worst and best mash potato's she'd ever eaten.<br>
<br>
<br>
Again, Annabelle wasted no time and was shoveling food into her mouth when a bomb blew off. It wasn't a question people asked often and it certainly wasn't something that people hurled at her like that. Most of the time people didn't care, or only asked her out of curiosity because people were nosy and wanted to pretend like they cared to get information.<br>
<br>
<br>
Even though she'd been starving, her appetite was suddenly ripped from her just as quickly as Levi spat his words. Her face went white, Anna could tell without even looking because of the sudden lack of warmth in her cheeks. For a moment she considered running off without so much as giving him eye contact but, wondered if that would only serve to make her look like a coward. So, she set her fork down and turned slowly to face Levi, looking him square in the eyes from where he sat glaring with a cat on his lap.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Well," Anna started, trying to figure the best way to word it, "I have something called Goodpasture Syndrome," she spoke honestly finding that it would only serve to hurt her later if she lied. "I don't know that you care what it does to me, so I will explain the short version; I'm dying." It was a harsh way of putting it, her tone icy with every word. Her bright eyes stayed locked onto his as she spoke, "I've have it for years and it's the whole reason I ended up here. I'm so sorry my dying was so very inconvenient." Her last sentence was spat out like acid and she started for the door.<br>
<br>
<br>
But just as she jerked the door open, she turned back and gave her sweetest smile to Levi's much more compassionate sister, Priscilla, "Thank you so much, for everything," and with that she slammed the door shut behind her and stalked down the hallway. Tears flooded her eyes now, and she only hoped to god she'd make it at least down to the lobby before have a total breakdown.</div>

It was something else entirely to know that someone was counting down the seconds before him. Bewildered by Anna's confession, he couldn't find anything suitable to say.

She spat out the last word, and it lodged itself deep into his brain. It only made him more irritated that it hurt as much as it did. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Go piss off," Levi snapped back, "Don't you have some guy to fuck over?" </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He spoke without thinking, and it left a path of regret in the immediate aftermath. The implications of his statement hung thickly in the air like smoke. Priscilla flushed red, her cheeks growing blotchy with color and embarrassment and anger. He knew that he had gone much too far this time around. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
There were lines that even</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i> he</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> tread lightly around. There were things they had promised to never speak of. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that," Levi said quietly.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But there was nothing but silence. He had quite accidentally breached an unspoken agreement between them. As siblings, they understood each other the best even in the worst of times, and they both knew that they dealt with things the same way – to shut up and never speak of it, to never point out the fallacy in logic when they both needed a little less reality. They fought often, but always upheld their rule as sacred. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"I don't need an apology." Priscilla finally said, sounding icy, "It-It doesn't matter."</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But it did matter, and they both knew. Still, she cleared her throat slightly, and turned to stare at the door. "...You should go apologize to Anna." Her tone suggested that it was less of an option and more of a command. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It was, technically speaking, the </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>right</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> thing to do. Too bad he was so great at being wrong all the time. Too bad apologizing was like ripping out his throat and wearing it as a noose around his neck. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi sat still in the kitchen chair, staring down at his hands. He studied the creases on his palms, and the calluses on his fingers from years of playing the viola. He traced the line of a scar across his knuckles, as he contemplated his choices. After a stretch of silence, he gathered Piper up in his arms and stood up. Irritated by the sudden shift in position, the cat squirmed her way out of his grasp and hopped down onto the floor. She slinked away into another room.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i> 'Oh come on, I need you,'</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi thought desperately. But she was gone, gone, gone.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
With something of a sigh, he wordlessly slipped on his shoes, grabbed his keys, and headed down into the hall of the fifteenth floor.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
For once, he had to be grateful for the atrociously slow elevators in the building. He caught sight of Anna standing in the hall and called out to her. "Hey!" Levi yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth. Now that he had her attention, however, he wasn't totally sure what to say. As he grew closer, he swore he could see tears in her eyes. Maybe he had done more harm than he had initially thought. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Pretending not to see, he focused his gaze away from her. </span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">"Hey..." He repeated softer after he approached. "...I,  uh. Apologize. For being...rude." This was much too difficult for him; it was pretty much like each word was being forcibly ejected from his vocal cords. "I mean...Well yes...Uh, I can...drive you home...If you'd like...Because...If you're not feeling well..." That was about as far as his generosity would extend, but it was something. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna jumped when she heard someone yelling out behind her. She hoped it wasn't who she thought it was, and wanted him to go away but to her surprise he approached her. Now all she felt was angry and hurt, there wasn't room for forgiveness though she wished there were. He'd meant to hurt her, and as much as she hated to admit it, Levi had done it. It pained her heart to be treated the same way over and over again, no one thinking of their actions who or how they hurt.<br>
<br>
<br>
Tears still hung in her eyes as Anna tried to speak with as much acid as possible, but it came out more cracked and small...more tired, "Oh, so now that you know I'm dying you're willing to help me?" She rolled her eyes which caused a tear to spill down her cheek. Quickly Anna caught it with a finger and brushed it away. "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, thanks," She said and turned to leave. Sticking around with this guy was not how she wanted to spend the rest of her day and if she got anymore upset another attack would settle in.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Go back to your pretty apartment and make someone else feel like shit," Anna spat the words harder than she'd meant to, but they were there and she couldn't take them back. The anger she felt right now was clouding her thoughts. Normally, Annabelle would never talk to someone that way, but she'd been in pain. Though, Anna saw that as no excuse it had happened and for the time being she didn't feel much like apologizing for it. After that, she slipped out the door and went toward home.<br>
<br>
<br>
Levi lived farther away than she'd first guessed, and it was going to be a bit of a walk. She would have taken the bus, but her pockets were void of change. The only option was to walk, and as of right now getting home was all that she let herself focus on. If she thought of Levi's words or anything else she was going to have a meltdown. Some sort of freak out on the sidewalk and that wasn't something Anna was prepared for.<br>
<br>
<br>
As she walked people avoided Anna, though she didn't blame them. But today, it hurt more than it usually did and made her want to cry all the more. People always treated her like scum of the earth, and it especially happened when she was on this part of town. They glared her down, scoffed, turned their noses up, and sometimes she was even spit on. So, Anna just hung her head low, her bright red hair hiding her eyes and she treid to block out the noises around her. If she shut everything out, it would hurt less...wouldn't it?</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The door slammed shut behind him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Slowly, Priscilla sank into the kitchen chair, placing her head into her arms. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She had been balancing like an apparatus with one loose bolt too many. Now that Levi had left, the whole thing came crashing down in a dismal array. Last night, and all of its predecessors…It hurt. But it was the pain of a hairline fracture – the kind of injury where the missing piece had long become dust, and void, and lost. His words still bounced around in her ears like a symphony of echoes. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
In the end, she could not blame him. She could only hate him for being right.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi had always been particularly observant as a kid, gifted with the kind of ability to examine people without even meaning to. Over the years, with each senseless remark or dumb move, that trait seemed to have weathered down considerably. However, it was moments like this where Priscilla was sure he still had it in him. After all, Levi always seemed to know which words could hurt someone the most. Was he congratulating himself on managing to piss </span></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">two</span></span></i><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> people off in the course of five minutes? She wouldn’t bet against it. It was more surprising that he had actually gone to apologize to Anna, or even had felt any sense of accountability.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She was majorly pissed, but wasn’t in much of the mood for an argument at all. Neither was Levi by the looks of things. It would just be for the best if she just took it in, and forgot about it…Like always. It was a breeding ground for resentment, a festering wound that would never close. But </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>someone</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> had to fill the role, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>someone</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> had to be stuck in eternal babysitting duty.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
And here she was. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
With a deep sigh, Priscilla picked herself up from the kitchen chair. She walked around the apartment space, glancing around at the surroundings. Nothing seemed to be out of place – things looked tidy and well-kept, a quick peek in the fridge revealed that it was properly stocked, and there was nothing broken in general. She took a glance around in Levi's bedroom, but hesitated on intruding.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She could trust him enough not to go through his medicine cabinet…Right?</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Before she had time to decide on it, the front door swung open. Levi strolled in, threw his keys on the counter, and kicked off his shoes. “Remind me never to try that again,” he said as he headed straight for his bedroom. So it hadn’t gone well with Anna. Not that Priscilla had expected it to. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Screw everything. Let’s just go, I want to see Ephraim,” Levi called over his shoulder without meeting her eyes.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It was her cue to shut up about it, and they could both pretend like it never happened. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">After a while of walking, Anna had to stop. Her chest heaved up and down quickly, breathing became harder and harder the older that she got. It probably wouldn't have worsened so quickly if she had the proper treatment...but it wasn't something she could afford. Besides, most of the doctors that she knew, who knew how to handle her illness, were barred by doing so. Her father hated her, she was the weakest link in the family name and he let her know it. He was one of the biggest names in the town, if you didn't know him or of him you were a nobody. His family was like royalty in this city, the McHerren's.<br>
<br>
<br>
Lost in thought Anna smacked into someone hard, it was a man she knew by the scent of his strongly applied cologne and flat chest. Landing on her ass, Annabelle winced. The man was wearing a expensive tailored suit, and shoes that probably cost four hundred dollars. When she looked up into his face she felt like vomiting. It was her brother, Michael, someone she had been trying to avoid running into. By the disgusted expression on his face, Anna guessed that Michael had recognized her almost instantly.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I-I'm sorry!" Anna half shouted, causing people to stare, "I was just trying to leave, I know I'm not supposed to be seen over here," Anna wasn't afraid of much, except her family. When they wanted something they got it...and when they didn't...well that was needless to say.<br>
<br>
<br>
"You scuffed my Jimmy Choo's," Michael said coldly, before promptly spitting in Anna's direction.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna reached out to rub the scuff away, but he kicked her hand hard enough to cause a loud <i>thwack.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
"</i>You're not supposed to be anywhere near this part of town," He was pulling out his cellphone now, dialing a number.<br>
<br>
<br>
It only took Annabelle a second to realize who it was he was calling, and she wanted no part in it. So, she did what it was that she did best (even for a sick girl), and that was run.<br>
<br>
<br>
She was pushing people out of the way, weaving in and out as people ignored her and pretended as though they didn't see someone barreling toward them. When Anna finally felt like she was far enough away, she stopped to take in as much breath as her body would allow. Of course, the running caused her to cough, which then caused blood. But, to her surprise she didn't feel all that dizzy or faint. Maybe this day wouldn't continue to be so shitty after all.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He stabbed his fork into the center, and began to rearrange his plate again. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“…Levi?”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He looked up – just in time to see a look of concern cross briefly over Priscilla’s features. The realization hit that she was worried…about </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>him.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He had been quiet most of the hospital trip, wordless in the vicinity of their parents, and silent as he sat next to Ephraim, only listening and watching to the machines beep and flash. It was his </span></span><br>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">that disconcerted her. That was a strange revelation to come across.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Are you okay?” Priscilla asked. She was watching his expression, waiting for an answer. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
There were too many things that were not okay. He had spent an afternoon being reminded how everything was breakable. Utterly and catastrophically breakable. He couldn’t imagine how she managed to keep everything so together, so neatly packed and stored away.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I’m fine,” Levi answered.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
In truth, he only wanted to be in his bed – not at Arcadia, where he was sitting smack in the middle between his sister and her boyfriend; not at this restaurant where he was pushing food into small piles and wondering what the hell he was doing here. It was almost overwhelming, and he suddenly felt the strangest sense of claustrophobia building up in his chest.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“We can go home if you’d like,” Priscilla said gently. Levi looked up again when he felt her hand on his shoulder. There was part of him that would’ve been glad to give in to her suggestion, to agree, to say that yes – he wasn’t quite alright. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But he didn’t. He never did.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I said I was fine,” Levi snapped. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Dinner went rathe quietly, Michael chatting about this and that. Mostly, he just talked about his money and how much of it he was going to spend.<br>
<br>
<br>
He was the kind of the person that thought all of his money impressed anyone and everyone. It was pretty obvious that when he talked about himself it was to make him feel better about himself. For some reason people liked him, but it probably wasn't for him. He was handsome and rich, so most people in this city gravitated toward anyone worth mentioning.<br>
<br>
<br>
He only stopped talking long enough to get up from the table and pull out Prscilla's chair. He paid for their rather expensive meal and they went out to wait for the valet to bring back his red Mercedes.<br>
<br>
<br>
Priscilla and Michael idly chatted about nothing much. Mostly money like usual, which was so riveting. "...So I told the car dealer I won't take any more than 50 thou--" he stopped mid sentence and bore his hot gaze into someone who was walking down the street. In an instant he went from complacent to hopping mad.<br>
<br>
<br>
"What the hell are you doing here!?" He demanded and stalked quickly up to a fiery red head. People glanced over but, of course people knew Michael and decided it would be better for them not to get involved.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I-I was just coming to find someone..." Anna stammered and ducked her head.<br>
<br>
<br>
Quickly, he grabbed her arm roughly causing Anna to wince. "You're going to regret coming anywhere near here!" He was trying to dial on his phone in the other hand.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna closed her eyes and tried her best not to look as ill and scared as she was. It was an odd combination to be feeling making everything a lot more intense. "Y-you're hurting me..." Anna tried to pull her arm free but Michael held tighter and she let out a sort of yelp.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Shut up," Michael snapped and continued to dial on his phone. If Anna knew him as well as she thought she did, Michael was send something to their father. If he hadn't ruined her life enough already... Worse was yet to come.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Levi strayed behind slightly, as they walked towards the parking garage. He could hear snippets of conversation being carried back towards him…Something about cars or money or whatnot. It wasn’t particularly interesting, not that Levi thought this Michael person was particularly interesting – other than being a McHerren. He had always been aware of the fact that his sister was </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>much</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> too prepossessing for her own good, always leading a contingent of waitlisted lovers. What was she on? Like her third new boyfriend this month? He didn’t dare mention the fact though. Priscilla would probably strangle him to death, judging by her reaction this morning. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He was lost in thought, when he heard an exclamation come from in front. Levi glanced up in time to see Michael grab the arm of </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>someone who was way too familiar. </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">He blinked in surprise, wondering if he was seeing things right. This was the third time that fate had decided to wrap him up with this girl. Annabelle.</span></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"> ‘What the shit…’</span></span></i><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi thought. He was paralyzed by confusion, only able to watch the scene unfold in front of him. A thousand questions popped into his head, but his astonishment left his mouth hanging wordlessly.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Anna?” Priscilla said, her tone incredulous. She slowly walked up behind them. Tentatively, Levi followed her lead.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He could hear clearly what they were yelling about now, although he didn’t understand the context of the situation. How on earth did Michael even know Anna? Did she have some sort of habit of passing out at random people’s homes, or what? In all honesty, he had enough things to deal with today. This unprecedented surprise was not at all welcomed. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Michael, what the hell are you doing?” Priscilla exclaimed, as she neared closer to them. Her gaze fell on the hand that was firmly wrapped around Anna’s wrist. “Jesus Christ, Michael, you’re hurting her. I think you can let go.” </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Oh shut up," Michael snapped at Priscilla without looking up from the screen of his phone. Anna tried to step back and break lose but Michael pulled her in closer, Anna yelped again.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Priscilla!" Anna called when she saw who was standing in front of her. For a moment she looked over at Levi, their eyes meeting. She probably would've glared at him but she couldn't bring herself to feel anything but embarrassment and shame.<br>
<br>
<br>
"You know Anna?" Michael demanded finally looking up from his phone in shock.<br>
<br>
<br>
"She-she helped me when I collapsed..." Anna tried to explain but it only served to her her shoved to the ground.<br>
<br>
<br>
Michael stood over her now, pointing a finger sharply down at Anna, "How dare you bother her! I'm going to make sure Father makes your life a living hell!" Michael shouted, and started to type on his phone again.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm so sorry that Anna bothered you with her filth, sweetheart." Michael was talking to Priscilla as though he hadn't just shoved someone forcefully to the ground.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Don't. Move." Michael demanded of Anna, and instead of denying him she looked down at her lap and didn't move after that. It was obvious now, that Michael scared her. It was probably odd for Levi to see her so docile and small. The last time they saw each other she's been fired up and forceful. This was not the Annabelle he'd met... Not by a long shot.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">He had never thought he would be on Annabelle’s side.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Despite all the asshatery he could pull, all the mockery and malicious remarks– Levi thought there was just something intrinsically wrong with shoving a sick girl towards the ground. He was astounded, and he was pissed. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi glared at Michael, a stream of steady insults forming at the tip of his tongue. “What-”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Mike, sweetie, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>you need to calm your fucking tits</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">,” Priscilla interjected with a certain vindictiveness. Momentarily, Levi was surprised that she had the taken the words right out of his mouth. After the initial shock, he was also weirdly proud of what had just happened. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
So they </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>were</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> related by more than just blood. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“She didn’t bother me, I </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>wanted</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> to help her,” Priscilla said, extending a hand to help Anna up. “So you can put the phone away. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Now.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">” Levi had to appreciate the remarkable quality his sister had in sounding absolutely murderous when she wanted to. As far as he was concerned, no one had ever bossed Priscilla around without feeling a great sense of regret in the aftermath. After all, he knew from the years of experience. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Confusion was running amuck. Michael obviously knew Annabelle – and judging by his wildly over-the-top reaction, their encounter had not been a pleasant one. Something seriously bad had to have gone down for the formerly calm and placated Michael to blow up like a fuse in a matter of seconds. Ultimately, these questions got lost in the whole commotion. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
In the end, Levi could have never imagined that he would be the sole pacifying voice. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Okay, everyone just stop arguing. This applies to you too,” he added before Michael could say anything in protest. “First, would anybody please like to explain what the hell is going on, and why the hell did you just lose your shit.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Perhaps he wasn’t the most eloquent or tactful of diplomats, but Levi got the job done. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Michael rolled his eyes, but didn't fight Priscilla in the matter. He glared over to his sister and sighed. "That thing," he spat the word, "is my god awful sister," he said and waved his hand as though she were a piece of trash. He'd never liked her it seemed, even when she was healthy Anna knew somewhere inside Michael was a rage toward her. It never made much sense to her, but Annabelle never questioned it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna hung her head and said nothing, letting her first hair hide her face. She didn't know what else to do in fear of her brother. He was after all a very frightening man. Before Anna had gotten sick, she saw Michael push someone down and beat them up at school just for looking at him wrong. He wasn't exactly the best at filtering his feelings. It was something she tried to stay out of the way for, but even now she managed to get tangled up with him.<br>
<br>
<br>
She bit her lip and clenched her fists, trying her hardest to keep the tears at bay. Crying wasn't something that she wanted to do in front of Levi and Priscilla, let alone her brother. Surely this would only fuel Michael's fire. He never did like it when anyone cried, especially Anna. She remembered one time before she knew what was wrong with her, Anna had been crying in her room when Michael came in. She thought for sure their mother had sent him in to comfort her, but really he'd come on his own. What he did was steal some of her toys and told her to shut up. It was probably something that an older brother normally did, but she wasn't sure at the time. So it only served to make her cry more.<br>
<br>
<br>
"She's not supposed to be anywhere near our family or this part of town," Michael explained, his voice snapped Annabelle out of her own memories. "She ruins the family name just by being alive, I mean, look at her." He gave Anna a disgusted look over as though she were a smelly garbage can that the city cleaning crew needed to empty.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I-I just wanted to thank Priscilla--" Michael turned a hot gaze on her and she stopped talking instantly.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Don't say her name, <i>street trash</i>," he spat and slipped his phone into his pocket. "Father knows you were here, and you're gonna pay for disobeying him." After that he didn't waste time walking off, slamming shoulders with his sister in the process. "I wont associate with anyone who spends time with the likes of my <i>sister.</i>"<br>
<br>
<br>
All Anna could do then was look down at her feet.  It was an awkward situation to say the  least.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> – a family richer than god – and yet, what the hell was she bumming out in the streets for? By definition, this girl was supposed to be lounging around in Bentley around now, owning some huge-ass business, and living in a high-rise dripping in luxury. But instead, she was </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>here</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">. There was a history that was buried somewhere, and judging by Michael’s freak out on the whole matter, it had to be a bad one. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Before Levi could even wrap his head around the whole matter, Michael said something about his father (</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>their</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> father), and stomped away angrily. He could hear Priscilla cursing in front of him. A few seconds later, he watched as the red Mercedes speed away onto the open road. Its tail lights gradually grew dimmer and dimmer, until it disappeared in the sea of evening traffic. So that was that. For awhile, no one spoke. The all-encompassing silence stretched on in the awkwardness of the aftermath.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Anna…” Priscilla started. “Oh. Wow. Um. I’m really sorry…” She trailed off, and then looked away. “ I didn’t know – I never thought that you and Michael – He…He was being a real ass…Are you okay?” She asked hesitantly. Anna was staring at her feet now, her head bowed so that they could not see her face. It didn’t take a genius, however, to take a guess at how she was feeling after what had just happened. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“…Why,” Levi finally said after the long interlude of quietness, “Did you let him treat you like that?” It was absolutely flabbergasting to him how she could just let someone walk all over her. “I mean, you didn’t have any trouble with using </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>me</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> as verbal target practice this morning.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
With those words, he earned himself a hard cuff on the arm.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh shut up,” Priscilla hissed, thoroughly annoyed. “Can you be a little more tactful?” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Slowly, she turned to Anna again. She placed her hand on her shoulder, as if offering some sort of comfort. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“It’ll be okay,” she said gently, “whatever he was talking about...Michael will come around.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Those were the whitest lies Levi had ever heard. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna, had she been in a better situation probably would of thought of something clever to say back to Levi. He had a way with words that was so awful she wasn't sure anyone in the history of time could fuck up just as much as he did. But, at the time all she could do now was look up at him and give him a sad look. People were continuing to stare, wondering what a piece of street trash like her was still doing hanging around in such a nice part of town.<br>
<br>
<br>
They'd stood out there a while longer in awkward silence before the host from the restaurant came out. "You're going to have to leave," It was clear who it was he was talking to, "Guests are complaining that their is a smell, and you're making them lose their appetite," He told Anna and she winced at his words. It wasn't something she was surprised about, but the words hurt her none the less. People who were standing outside waiting for valet were snickering. It was a simple case of kicking someone when they were down. Though it wasn't something that shocked her because these people could have cared less about her.<br>
<br>
<br>
There was no fight in Annabelle in that moment, all she wanted to do was go home and lay in bed. "Alright," Anna said to the Host who gave her a dirty look before leaving. "I better get going," Anna said to the two standing in front of her. There wasn't much she was coming for but to thank Priscilla and she'd already done it. So there wasn't anything else that she needed to stay for anyway. Besides, if she hung out any longer someone was bound to call the cops on her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Without another word she turned to leave, not worrying about anything but getting home. If she focused on that, maybe things would hurt less for her. Maybe she'd be able to push them out of her mind and not have to worry about them at all.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Since his birth, Levi had always been a </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>brother.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He had been born into the title, born into an intrinsic part of who he was, and who he was going to be. Of course, there were times where he wished that he wasn't sandwiched between a sister and a brother, that he was more than just "the middle child", and that he wasn't defined by who his siblings were. There had been moments of wishful thinking – times when jealousy and animosity pushed him on to strive for </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>significance</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, just so he could be so much more than just another O'Flaherty. And yet, he could not imagine life without Priscilla, and he </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>certainly</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> couldn't imagine a life with Ephraim.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He had come close – they all had – and in the past weeks, Levi had closed his eyes at night to expect only the worse by morning. He had tried very hard to convince himself that it would be okay. No mattered what happened, they would be fine, that he would be fine. (He had almost begged himself to be at that point.) In end, they were all very lucky. Ephraim was still alive and breathing and </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>here.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> For all those days and days, Levi had never been able to bring himself to accept a </span></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">near-truth</span></span></i><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> on the brink of </span></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">waiting-to-happen. Never.</span></span></i><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Thus, Michael and Annabelle was something of a grand mystery to him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Maybe he did understand it deep, deep down...But on the surface of things, Levi couldn't wrap his mind around the scene that had just unfolded before him. It was almost absurd how much Michael seemed to hate Anna. There was anger, but it wasn't the kind of steam that just needed some blowing off. Whatever was between them was a lot more than </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>one wrong, one fight, one story.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
  <br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Ten minutes later after the restaurant scene,  those were the thoughts swarming around Levi's head.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He had (almost uncharacteristically) cooperated with Priscilla's orders. Perhaps it was the shock, the tiredness, the cold that he was sure he was developing – whatever it was, he had agreed to her suggestions. With something of a promise, he had strapped himself in his car in an attempt to find Anna while Priscilla had gone off to find Michael. Playing peace between two parties was definitely something new for him.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
As slowly as possible, he drove along the Shoreline; the bright lights on the water and the sound of laughter bounced off from the car windows. A little farther down the road, he spotted the shadowy figure of Annabelle sticking out from the darkness. With a deep sigh, Levi slowed and pulled his car over beside her. Levi rolled down the passenger window, putting on his best shit-eating grin.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Hop in loser, we're going for a drive."</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">There wasn't a lot about Michael that Anna knew, but she did know that she'd done something to upset him. There was something about her that just made him want to vomit. She wondered what it possibly could be that upset him so much. It was hard to know when most of your life was spent apart. Maybe he was mad at her for not trying to stay in contact..? Maybe he genuinely just hated looking at her? It wouldn't have surprised her if their father made up many lies about her so that he wouldn't want anything to do with her. Their father wasn't the kind of person that was above something like that. There is only a few ways to push yourself to the top, and a lot of times, it's lying.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna had walked out to the beach, and was walking in the cool sand. It hadn't been hot for a few hours, and the breeze had cooled the top sand. Underneath it was warm when you dug your feet under and it was a welcome feeling on Annabelle's exhausted feet. It wasn't often she stopped to do things like this. Wander around, feeling the sand,  or smell the ocean, most of the time she was scraping for her next meal or staying in bed. Life was tough for her, but she managed.<br>
<br>
<br>
It snapped her out of her thoughts when she heard someone talking. "Oh!" Anna said when she locked her eyes on Levi, clearly surprised to see him. He called her loser, but it wasn't in a way that hurt her more than made her smile. It was one of the first genuine smiles she'd given in a long time, and to her surprise Levi was smiling back. It wasn't something she would have thought he did. Smiling was meant for happy people who didn't have a hole where their heart was supposed to go. Of course she didn't really think he was all that bad, Levi..but there were things about him that Anna didn't know about. Things that made him the way that Levi was today, things that caused him to be so closed off from everything and everyone.<br>
<br>
<br>
"If I seem to recall, you're the one chasing <i>me </i>down, so I don't imagine I'm that much of a loser," Anna said to him, still smiling. He wasn't a friend or anything but it was nice to have someone talk to her like a human. To have someone look at her like she was actually there, actually a person. Even if it were under order of Priscilla, which Anna guessed it was, she enjoyed that someone was worried enough to come looking for her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Slowly Anna worked her way through the sand and walked over to the passenger side of Levi's car, "So where are we headed...? Home?" Anna asked as she slid her tiny frame into the seat.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">She was genuinely smiling at him, and for a moment he was taken aback at the ease of her expression. He had been extremely doubtful that Anna would've actually stopped for him, considering the </span></span><br>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> remarks he had spewed out that morning in his fit of annoyance...Whatever, he wasn't going to question how her brain worked if it made his job easier. Maybe he was forgiven after all. "Huh. Well Cil's got me playing nice," Levi replied as he put the car in drive again. "But just so you know, you make it awfully hard for me not to insult you, loser."</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Anna slid into the seat, and Levi pulled away from the road curb. "Strap in," he said curtly.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Now it was only a matter of deciding where to go. He knew what Priscilla would say, but he wasn't sure he agreed...</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Home?" Levi repeated, shooting her an incredulous stare. "Didn't think you had one, loser. Where do you live? The Third Cardboard Box on Adler Street?" In the back of his mind, he was </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>absolutely</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> sure that he should've shut up as soon as he had decided to open his fat mouth. But jokes came unconsciously out of his mouth like exhaling out air – extremely sarcastic, mildly offensive, and decidedly </span></span><br>

He had never been good at being soft with his tongue. It was a weapon, a blade, a double-edged sword.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
However he backtracked this time. Levi was not in the mood to apologize again (and again), and was definitely not in the mood to pick a fight.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"I mean...You know what, you should really just invalidate everything I say. That's what everyone does, or else I'm pretty sure I would be in jail right now for being three hundred percent an asshole to society." It would be nice if he could get that disclaimer pasted across his forehead. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Well, anyways, to answer your question," Levi started, "I'm supposed to kidnap you all the way back to St. Luke's, but I kind of figured you wouldn't like that would you? And the last thing I need is for you to try to Harry Houdini your way out of this car. What I'm also supposed to do, is ask you why Michael threw a bitch fit just then, and then ask if you're okay – which is dumb because you shouldn't be. Those are all the things I'm </span></span><br>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"...But. Nah. Fuck it, that's effort. Since we're not doing all that junk, it's your call now. Just tell me what you want."</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As he car moved, Anna stayed quiet. She listened to Levi run his mouth, and as much as she wanted to come up with something clever to retort with there was nothing there. It was probably clear just how much his words hurt her, because she felt her cheeks flare with heat and her eyes stung with tears. But she didn't want to cry so she when she finally replied she accompanied it with another smile, "I think a cardboard box would be better than the shit hole I live in now," She laughed then, but it was a little more forced than she intended it to be.<br>
<br>
<br>
They didn't say too much after that, except for when Anna gave directions on how to get to her side of town. It was run down, and people stared at the vehicle as it went by. She knew rumors would start to spread about her, because of this, but she was just glad to be home quickly and not have to walk all the way home.<br>
<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
<br>
"Also, you're not as much of an ass hat as you want people to believe you are," Anna was looking straight at Levi now, and she as slipping out of her seat and down onto the curb where she'd told Levi to pull over. "You didn't have to come get me, even if your Sister asked you too," She said and smiled at him, "Thanks." She shut the door after that, not giving Levi any time to say something rude, even if she knew he didn't necessarily mean it.<br>
<br>
<br>
She didn't waste time heading inside of her building. Though it was sturdy it looked like it could crumble at the slightest amount of wind  or rain. It was cracked and molding, and it wasn't a suitable place for anyone to live. But, despite that fact that people shouldn't have been living there, the building was full. Everyone there knew each other by their first names and Anna was glad for that, because if people knew who her family was they'd start demanding money from her that she didn't have.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> perpetual disappointment and frustration in him. It was something like static in the background, a continuous buzzing that weighed his mind down only minutely now. If Levi was supposed to be the black sheep in this family, he was goddamn good at being one. There was no use in suddenly becoming Mr. Sunshine, Mr. Listen-to-others, </span></span><br>

After she left, he drove out of the darkness and into the open road, the streetlights illuminating the windows into a foggy orange. A few times, his mind went to Anna and Michael, but it was draining to think about. By now, Levi could feel a certain sense of tiredness settling in, making a home in his chest. There was nothing more he wanted then to be at home. It seemed as if the whole day had passed in a slow haze of confusion and chaos and exhaustion – long hours sprouted between minutes, and whole hours seemed to have passed in only seconds. He knew there was a tower of things he had to deal with in the morning. But for now, he could look forward towards the liberty of sleep. </span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">((Hopefully this works, sorry it's so long.... ))<br>
<br>
<br>
The next morning, Anna sat up with a start she'd remembered something while she'd been waking up. She remembered that she hadn't gone to visit Eph. She'd stumbled across him at the hospital the last time she'd been there, trying to find a way out before someone noticed her. Of course that didn't go so well considering her run in with Levi, but that was a whole other story. Anna had met Eph while she'd been out "working", that is playing her guitar and singing hoping that someone would drop money into a tattered up guitar case she left open at her feet. He'd dropped in a few bills, but instead of just leaving after depositing the money he listened to her sing and when she stopped he started up a conversation with her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Right there struck up a wonderful friendship, he'd come to meet her while she worked and they even went on walks and did other things together when he wasn't busy. But, it'd been a while since Anna had seen him around, and she wondered for a while where he'd gone, but eventually chalked it up to him not wanting to be seen with her. In her mind, Anna had silently cursed Eph for it, but when she'd found him in the hospital her heart sank.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was by complete chance that she'd ran into his room last week, and it'd taken her a second look to realize who it was. He'd been badly banged up and there were parts of him missing that hadn't been before. Something bad had happened to him, but since he wasn't family to her, no one told her anything about Eph's accident. Anna only stuck around for a few minutes before moving on because she didn't want one of the nurses who was looking for her at the time to find her. Again, that's when she'd went looking for her guitar and ran into Levi, whom she seemed to keep running into over and over again throughout the week.<br>
<br>
<br>
After a quick shower, Anna got dressed in her nicest clothes, which happened to be a skirt, tank top and a pair of boots. Of course the clothes were dingy, and her boots tattered, but she didn't think Eph who was in a coma state would mind all that much. However, it was a step up from what she normally wore, and it complimented her well. She even spared some of her hard earned makeup, and did her hair, it wasn't like Ephraim was going to see her, but she thought that the idea of someone dressing up for him would be nice anyway.<br>
<br>
<br>
After she approved of her appearance as much as she could, she scraped together a breakfast of a peanut butter sandwich and left. It didn't take her too long to get to the hospital, and not long after that to make it up to his room. But when started to walk in, her stomach flipped and her cheeks flared. Everyone who was sitting in that room were people she recognized, and they looked just as shocked to see her. But....not only that, Eph was sitting up and looking back at her, smiling. "U-uh, hi, Eph..." Anna stuttered out her words nervously, and stuck up her hand in some sort of awkward wave.<br>
<br>
<br>
If she'd learned anything about Levi at all in the last week...Anna was one hundred percent positive that he was just as unhappy to see her as she was to see him. Of course, it took her a moment to see it, but when she looked back and forth from Eph to Levi she saw it...even Priscilla was there and she saw it in her too. They all looked alike, they were all related. The more she thought about it the more, for some reason, she wanted to run out of the room but all she could do now was stare at Ephraim with her mouth slightly open. The shock and nervousness was easy to see on Anna's face, and she couldn't bring herself to do anything else but stand there.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘What’s in a second? A minute? An hour?’</i></span></span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Ephraim had spent the last few days wondering about this question</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>. It had been night time, the streetlights all a blur from the rain on his windshield. He drove, pressing on the gas pedal in a frantic attempt to escape his own head. In a split second, he was crashing out of life and hurling towards something so final, so ready, so inevitable…</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">But it was hard to think about that with medication flowing through his veins and a torrent of confused thoughts swimming in his head. Slowly, Ephraim glanced out of the window, watching the clouds pass above in the sky to clear his thoughts. Little by little, he lifted his right hand in front of him, and studied the way the sunlight streamed between his fingers before clenching it into a fist. His hand shook.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">‘</span></span></b><br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>What’s in a movement? A muscle? A cell?’</i></span></span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">He had always been a kinesthetic sort of person. Running made him happy, moving made him happy. Something about it made him feel free, something about it helped lessen the burden of thought. Back in school, he had done track, and although he loved winning ribbons and trophies – they were all side products from what he loved the most. For the longest time, he had never truly appreciated the ease of movement, the grace of walking steadily without tripping or falling or help. Until now.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The last time Levi and Priscilla had come to see him; he had pretended to be asleep. That was inherently selfish of him, Ephraim knew, but he couldn’t stand to listen to consoling words, to nod, to smile, to pretend that he was alright. He was good at faking it – he had been doing it for years – but now, he just didn’t have the energy to be </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>always perfect</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">. (And he wasn’t. Never, never, he couldn’t fool anyone now.) He was lucky, but he couldn’t bring himself to feel that way. Still, this time, as the door swung softly open, he remained awake. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
There was no point in pretending to be unconscious any longer.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
In the next minute, they all chatted about nothing in particular, his own words coming out slowly but surely. They didn’t say anything past shallow formalities, but Ephraim couldn’t help but notice his sister’s false positivity, his brother’s deep weariness. His siblings had never been good at lying, at least not to him. But, he acted like he didn’t observe any of these things – still pretending like things were all hunky-dory, because it simply</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i> hurt too much</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> to acknowledge the wound that had been cut opened by the knife of fate, the unkindness of reality. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He would sooner let himself bleed out. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Suddenly, the door moved a few inches, and Ephraim glanced up to see who else had come to see him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It was a red-haired girl. Pretty. Unrecognizable. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>("U-uh, hi, Eph..."</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> she had stuttered upon entering.) </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘What’s in a memory? A past? A future?’</i></span></span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">A sense of panic gripped him because </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>he could not remember who she was.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He had thought most of the gaps in his life had been filled in by now – he knew the faces of his family, his friends, his teachers, even the manager of the book store he had once worked at. Frantically, Ephraim searched his (faltering) memory, digging through months and months and…</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Annabelle?”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It was Priscilla who had spoken first, and the name jogged his memory back into place. Annabelle. He knew Anna. She was the girl who played guitar and sang songs on crowded streets. She was a girl who he had taken walks with, and skipped oboe lessons for – a friend.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, (for incomprehensible reasons, his heart still hammering.) </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But the feeling was interrupted by Levi.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“What the fuck?! What are </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>you</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> doing here?” </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Instantly, Anna felt like she was going to vomit, and the room started to spin. Sweat started to gather on the back of her neck and her palms, and Anna all but wanted to be there. "I-I was coming to see Ephraim..." Anna managed to choke out, she had only tore her gaze from him then to look over to Priscilla, not Levi who was seething. "I..." Anna paused clearly uncomfortable, "...Realized that you knew Ephraim...he's a friend of mine..." She looked down to her feet before taking a step toward the door.<br>
<br>
<br>
She couldn't help but give Ephraim and struggled and helpless look. He'd smiled when she'd come in, but hadn't said anything because well...no one had given him a chance to. It was clear the certain people didn't want him in the room, and since they were close with Eph, she could guess why. Who would want the burden of a sick girl hanging around, let alone when they were trying to visit with their brother.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I can just come back another time, it's no big deal," And though Anna didn't know why, tears stung her eyes. She could taste them in the back of her throat threatening to fall. Ephraim was one of the few friends that Anna had, in fact, she'd missed him when he'd been away. It was like finding out why he'd been gone so long all over again.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she'd stumbled across him in that hospital bed for the first time, she'd felt sick. When she'd finally made it home, and been alone she cried for him. But, there was a selfish part of her that cried for herself too. Since Eph was really the only person in her life that treated her kindly, she wondered if he would die if she'd always be alone. Later she'd cursed herself silently for crying for such a reason. He was the one in pain and hurt, he was the one who had to deal with all of this.<br>
<br>
<br>
Ephraim wasn't like her, he was kind and innocent. He didn't have all of his life to get used to unchangeable fate like she had. It was probably a lot to take in all at once that you were missing part of yourself. It wasn't like her where she'd been told that she would never live to forty. She'd been hearing that all of her life.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I didn't mean to intrude," Anna said, looking over to Ephraim once last time, "I'm so happy you're okay," Anna said to him, and gave him a smile. "I'll come back at a better time." With that she turned and briskly walked into the hall. If Levi would follow her to yell, so be it. But, she wasn't going to stand there and let it all happen in front of her healing friend. The stress of her life was something he didn't need.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">He shouldn’t have lost his temper. But he had never been good with surprises.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
A mixture of mass confusion and grand annoyance swarmed around in his thoughts – adding only to the massive pile of shit he had heaped somewhere in the back of his mind. It wasn’t just her that caused him to explode; </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>it was so many goddamn things</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, but she had the unfortunate position of being </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>the straw that broke the camel’s back.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> By now, Levi was ready to take out all of his anger on Anna. However, before moving a single inch, he felt a hand close around his wrist, slowly pulling him back down to earth. Looking for an explanation, he turned to Ephraim. He was staring at him wide-eyed, shaking his head. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“W-wait,” he stuttered out, “don’t…be mad.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi softened slightly, loosening his muscles and sighing deeply. He had never known that Anna and Ephraim had been friends. But truth to be told, he had never known </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>any</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> of his brother’s friends in the last few years. He hadn’t stuck around long enough to see high school unfold in its entirety, save for a few snippets of a life he was only a part of on paper. After awhile, any familial ties left were still being loosened with every fight, every angry phone call, and every word. There were things Levi had chosen to give up on – things he had no room for regret for. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He glanced away from Eph. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I’m not,” he answered. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Wordlessly, he stood up and walked out of the room, unyielding to Priscilla’s protests. Very gently, Levi shut the door behind him, and then turned to Anna. It seemed like fate really wanted to play with the both of them – over and over and </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>over</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> again. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“You know Eph,” he stated simply. He paused for a second…And then threw his hands up in the air in exasperation. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Well fuck me! Goddamn fuckity shit…” After the string of swear words, Levi took in a deep breath, trying to calm himself down again. Screaming obscenities down the hall had helped a little, but not by much. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh man, what am I going to do with you?” He wondered out loud.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna was sunken in on herself, knees pulled to her chest and her face hiding in her folded arms. There wasn't a time more than now, that she'd been so broken. It hadn't been because of Levi's outburst, though it had hurt her enough to send her over the edge. In fact, Anna wasn't exactly sure why she was crying so much. Maybe it was mostly because she was relieved? Anna hadn't realized how much it had bothered her before that her only friend Ephraim was hurt. SHe hadn't realized before how much that not having known, or being able to be contacted upset her. Everything was caving in on her now and she didn't know what else to do but cry.<br>
<br>
<br>
When Levi came out, she was surprised he was speaking so calmly, except for his undirected cursing. She slowly looked up from her spot not bothering to clear the tears and just stared. She didn't say anything, only looked at him with her piercing eyes and rested her chin on the tops of her knees. Anna wasn't much in the mood for talking at all, especially not to Levi. But, she did notice he wasn't yelling <i><b>at </b></i>her, so she had to give him points for that.<br>
<br>
<br>
"How else would I know how to get here?" Anna asked in response, her voice soft. She frowned and looked away, "I didn't know you were related, but I can see it now that I see you all in a room together..." Anna explained, "Had I known, I wouldn't have come so early," She said, knowing that they'd be in to visit during the busier hours. They were wealthy good looking people, and there was no reason for them to cower away from large crowds of people. Unlike her, who looked homeless and coughed a lot. People avoided her, so in turn she avoided them.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna pushed back a loose curl to behind her ear, and adjusted her nicest outfit so that it wasn't showing off anything she didn't want it to. It was stupid of her to have dressed up, what was the point? It's not like anyone was around to appreciate it, no one gave her a second glance. "Also, there isn't anything to <i>do with me</i>, I don't purposefully wreck your life," She said and then buried her face back into her lap.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> With that revelation, he suddenly felt a pang of conscience beginning to root and grow and then blossom into full-fledged guilt. Quickly, Levi squashed the feeling, reminding himself that he was still very much annoyed at her…and the entire world at that. He hadn’t meant to get angry, especially not in front of Ephraim, but what had been done was already done. It only made him more upset at himself. </span></span><br>

Levi leaned back, resting his head against the wall, and stared up blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds. There was no point to moping around, even if it was what he felt like doing. Life continued on without giving a rat’s ass about how </span></span><br>

It took an exceptional amount of energy to turn towards Anna and say, “Well go in then. He’s waiting for you.”</span></span><br>

<br>
Anna was shocked by the way that Levi was talking to her. He was surprisingly calm and he didn't (for once) make him feel like a complete idiot for existing. There was something about Levi that got under her skin, in more ways than she realized. His words, though weren't really meant but spoke out of his own anger meant something to her. She hadn't known this man for long, but everything he did seemed to leave it's mark on her some how. Sniffling and lifting her head, Annabelle looked at Levi and gave a soft smile, "Thanks," She offered and let her feet drop to the floor.<br>
<br>
<br>
Slowly, she lifted her hands to her face and wiped her eyes. Anna was aware that she looked like complete crap, but she didn't think that Ephraim would care. Smiling a little to herself in relief, she pushed out of her chair and walked back into the hospital room. "I'm sorry I showed up so suddenly," She was looking at Priscilla and then moved her gaze to Ephraim, "I wasn't trying to cause a big scene," She said and walked over to a chair. Quickly and as quietly as possible, she pulled it up to the side of Eph's bed, so that she was looking at Priscilla rather than sitting beside her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Without thinking much about it, Anna scooped Ephraim's hand into her own and squeezed firmly but gently. "You know, it's a miracle that I even found you here," Anna told him and laughed slightly, "If it weren't for me dying and all, I probably would have thought you just stopped liking me," She gave one of her room brightening smiles trying to make light of her situation and Ephraim's, and squeezed his hand again. Everytime she squeezed, she felt closer to him, more relieved that he was actually there, breathing, and awake.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna was just so happy to have her friend back.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Levi did not come back into the room, and Ephraim sat frozen and wide-eyed, looking at the door he had departed from. He expected to hear some sort of confrontation in the hallway, and indeed, Priscilla must’ve been thinking the same thing as she stood up – her body poised to walk into a raging storm. However, nothing happened. Everything seemed to be still and calm for the most part…Minus the brief snippets they got of Levi swearing like a sailor. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘He always had a problem with that,’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Ephraim thought vaguely, a memory of a swear-jar popping into his head. His brother had never verbose back them, but whatever he said usually (almost automatically) was accompanied by, uh, quite a </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>colorful</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> vocabulary. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Priscilla settled back into the seat again, turning her attention towards Ephraim once more.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Oh don’t worry about him. Bad day, that’s all,” she said with a shrug that was supposed to come off as lighthearted, but to him, it only came across as something like a wince. In truth, he had an infinite amount of questions of his own, (</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>how did they know Anna at all?</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He thought he had kept his personal life a good enough secret.) But in the end, Eph merely nodded, pretending to agree and understand what his sister was saying. He was good at nodding and agreeing with anyone – he would win the medal for </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>most conflicts avoided, you spineless twat.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He lifted his head at the sound of steps, his eyes locking on Anna’s as she walked back in. Levi was not behind her, and momentarily he felt a sense of panic before he remembered they were only allowed two visitors at one time. The nurses liked to check in every so often. One of them, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>he couldn’t remember her name but did remember her curly blonde hair</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, had gotten incredibly angry when a crowd of his friends swamped his bedside two days ago. Secretly, Ephraim had been glad that she had made them leave. Most of the time, he wanted to be alone, and yet he never wanted to disappoint anyone but disallowing visitors either. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“No, no, don’t worry about it. I’m pretty sorry we kind of overreacted…just didn’t expect to see you,” Priscilla said, slightly flustered. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
There was a sense of awkwardness that could not be hidden.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Anna clasped his hand into her own. Eph felt himself relax a little, a small smile appearing on his face. She was not like his other friends – there was no pressure </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>to be </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">anything other than himself, no expectations or appearances to live by…Just simplicity. He shook his head at her words – no, never, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>he would never stop liking her. </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Thank…you,” he murmured. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna and Eph talked back and forth for a while, about import updates and not so important things. They avoided much of their current states in the ways of health, but managed to make each other laugh and smile. Before she knew it, she'd spent a couple hours with him and the nurses were becoming agitated. People weren't supposed to stay so long, and it wasn't until a nurse out rightly as everyone to leave that Anna pried her hands off of Ephraim's. It made her frown slightly, but she wiped the expression away and replaced it again with a smile. He was the only friend she truly had, and it thrilled her that he was alright...or at least that he would be.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she walked out of the room, Anna's eyes swept the area. People were running here and there, some cried and others grinned. Bad and good news she supposed. It wasn't hard to tell which tears were for joy and which for sorrow. There was a couple, a young man and woman who were clearly with child. A man in a white lab coat, a doctor, was telling them something and the two clung to one another. When he stopped talking, the woman blinked wide eyed and then burst into tears. It caused Anna's heart to hurt for her, news like that was never something easy.<br>
<br>
<br>
It reminded her of her Mother when she'd first gotten the news about her only daughter dying of Good Pasture. She'd looked like she was going to be sick, and she didn't even look at Anna for months after that. Everyone in the family did what they could to avoid her until her father eventually dumped her on the street. Though of course, that wasn't what he told everyone else, he'd explained that she'd ran away. Her father had told everyone that she'd gotten into drugs, and stole from him so no one wanted anything to do with her. Of course it wasn't true, but it wasn't hard to believe a lie from the richest man in the city.<br>
<br>
<br>
Tearing her gaze away from the crumbling couple, Anna realized that Levi was still sitting where she'd left him. He was idly typing on his phone, probably browsing the web. She couldn't help but smile down at him, he hadn't looked up to see her and for a moment she got to see a Levi that wasn't torn with agitation or anger. It was nice to see him so calm and untouched by the world. Nothing around him seemed to gather his attention, and though it was probably going to annoy him...Anna wanted some of it. So, she sat down beside him and looked over at him, "Thanks for letting me visit," Anna said and touched his shoulder in a way that even surprised herself. It wasn't something she'd thought about doing, it had just sort of happened, and when she realized it she with drew her hand. "I think I'm gonna get going," Anna explained and pushed herself back out of her chair.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna stopped without turning around for a moment, surprised that Levi had even said anything to her. Turning slowly, she walked back toward him closing their gap and gave a soft smile. "He seems tired, but I think he's going to be back to himself in no time," Anna said honestly, "I think he just needs everyone's honest support, ya know?" She asked the rhetorical question and gave another smile. The expression she wore clearly showed her relief that Ephraim was alright more or less.<br>
<br>
<br>
"There are a lot of things he's going to need to get used to, but I'm sure with you and your sister there he'll be just fine." She purposefully didn't include herself on the list, worried it would only upset Levi further. He was already pissed that Ephraim and Anna knew each other, and she wasn't sure what he would do if she made it sound like there were future plans of Ephraim's with her in them. Annabelle studied his face, he looked tired, stressed, and worried. Clearly Levi cared about his brother more than he'd probably like most to know, and even though he was stressed now, it warmed Anna's heart to see him open up even if it was only slightly.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I know me showing up today was a bit of a shock for you, but I appreciate you letting me see your brother," Anna told Levi. She brushed some hair from her face and scanned the room quickly with her bright eyes. No one had seemed to recognize her yet, which was probably due to her talking with Levi. "I better get going, I need to find something to eat," Anna said and shrugged as if the word <i>find</i> instead of <i>get </i>was nothing to worry about.</div>

In time, things would go back into the stagnancy of old habits – absolute minimal contact, familial ties withered by the sort of hostility born from years of experience. If it wasn’t for Ephraim, Levi would have skirted around seeing his parents until Christmas break again – forced to be in a family of only vaguely recognizable strangers. </span></span><br>

He snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of Anna’s voice, pulling him back into the hospital. Blinking, he tuned in quick enough to hear the second part of her sentence. </span></span><br>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> he thought, noticing her choice of verb usage. Automatically, Levi narrowed his eyes slightly as he surveyed Annabelle. She looked…</span></span><br>

And that’s what he would later convince himself was the thought in mind when he suddenly said “There’s an espresso bar across from the street, and I was thinking of going for lunch…If you want to come with…?”</span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Annabelle was surprised and it was clear on her face, if only for a moment. It would have been nice to go out with Levi when he was treating her so kindly at the moment. But of course, money was a problem, and there was no way in hell she'd be able to afford anything from a coffee bar anywhere near this part of town. The thought must have made her make a face, because Levi was giving her a funny look.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'd really like to, but I don't have the money, I'm sure there's a banana or something at home I can grab," She said and put her hands up in a 'don't worry about me' type of gesture.<br>
<br>
<br>
Besides, she was pretty sure Levi didn't actually want all that much to do with her. He was vulnerable now, and upset, which probably caused a lapse in his judgment. Because only the day before he was calling her a loser every chance he got, and was yelling. "Maybe if I busk up enough money soon, we could go out sometim--..." She stopped herself, having realized after she started, what it was that she was saying. It definitely sounded like she was asking him on a date.<br>
<br>
<br>
She supposed she would like to go out with Levi. Yes, he was an ass hat sometimes, but he didn't treat her like most people did. They either babied her when they knew she was terminally ill, or treated her like scum who deserved to be living in the shit hole of an apartment starving nearly to death. Levi treated her just like he did everyone, but there were moments when she noticed kindness and compassion in him. Even if she'd only known him a short time, they were there, and she'd seen them. Levi was rough, but that was his only way of keeping from getting himself hurt it seemed. If he was mean first, no one had the chance to be that way with him.<br>
<br>
<br>
"...---I mean, all of us, when Ephraim gets better." Anna winced at her own lame cover-up and turned to leave again, "I better go." She mumbled, cheeks flaring bright red.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi thought as Anna made a face. He knew she didn’t have enough money, and that was the </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>whole point</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> of him asking her to come with him in the first place. But okay, so maybe he did sort of deserve being turned down – especially with all the stuff that had happened between them in recently. (Levi had to admit though that if starving seemed like a better option than hanging out with him – okay, he was the </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>tiniest</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> bit offended by that.) Still, if Anna really didn’t to go with him, then fine. She didn’t have to start making up any excuses. He never cared for people that beat around the bush – </span></span><br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">And now he was getting much more confused as to what Anna wanted from him. So she was </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>actually</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> worried about the money. That wasn’t a problem for him, a cup of coffee and a sandwich was hardly going to make any sort of difference. Levi opened his mouth to say those words, but quickly shut himself up upon the realization that Anna had fallen silent for a few seconds. She looked like she was scrambling for something to say…and just as he was going to fill that gap of conversation, she blurted out </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>“– I mean all of us, when Ephraim gets better."</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He caught a glimpse of her face before she turned away. Her cheeks were turning red, deepening in rapid shades as soon as the sentence had been spoken. Without thinking at all, Levi answered with a, “Fuck. Are you okay? Your face is like really red.” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It took him a few more moments to comprehend what Anna had even said.</span></span><br>

</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘…Oh…Okay.’  </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The implications of her words had settled in. That was…certainly awkward. Nevertheless, he tried to cover up the mistake as gracefully as he could manage.A slow smile crawled onto his face, and Levi let out a laugh. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Ah, I see…Don’t worry loser, I’m not going to ask you out on a date.”  </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna shot him a look, clearly not trying to smile. She wanted to be mad at him, but something about the way he'd said it made her want to laugh instead. Turning back away, and started down the hall, "Fine, then I won't hold my breath!" She called sarcastically, waving her hand up in the air dramatically. She wasn't sure what she'd been even saying, it wasn't like they'd known each other long and just because her stupid brain decided something didn't make it true for everyone around her.<br>
<br>
<br>
'Well aren't you just an idiot,' Anna told herself in her head, mentally scorning her dumb actions and words was something that she did often. She felt that it kept her in check and often helped her from making the same mistake twice. "I'll see you around, butt head!" She said loud enough for him to hear her from the distance she was now. A few different people looked up at her, frowning slightly, but when she smiled and winked they smiled back. "It's just so hard when you're surrounded by butt heads!" She cried, throwing her hands up in exasperation much over the top.<br>
<br>
<br>
Annabelle glanced back to see if Levi was reacting to her actions and words, but from the distance they were at it was sort of hard to tell. She opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by someone walking up to her. A man, probably about her age maybe a little older was smiling at her, "Hey, I couldn't help but notice how<i> fine</i> you are, and wanted to take you out," he said and waggled his eye brows in a way that was not becoming. Anna wondered if he was serious for a moment, and when he didn't burst out with laughter, she knew he was.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Uh- No thank you," Anna tried to refuse as politely as she could. Because even if she didn't want to go out with this stranger, she knew rejection was harsh. Most of the people in the lobby had cleared out, because she'd annoyed them with her raised voice, and Anna took note that no one was paying much attention to her and this man standing there. "I'm Cole Anderson, you may have heard of me," And of course she had, people made sure they were known in this town by the rich and the poor alike.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yeah, your dad owns some big shot company," Anna said unimpressed, her expression becoming less amused by the minute. It was becoming increasingly clear that he wasn't going to leave any time soon. "Look, I've got to go..." She turned to leave, but he stepped in her path and walked forward causing her have to back track.<br>
<br>
<br>
"No, you're going out with me," He said his dark eyes borrowing into her. She frowned and tried to step past him, but if things got physical she knew it wouldn't be to her benefit to fight. He was large, much like her brother, though he had much less of a brain.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna tried again to step past him, "Please, move." She said less of a request and more of a demand. He didn't like it, just like any other meat head wouldn't and grabbed her roughly by the wrist.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Listen here, bitch," He spat, "You should be kissing the ground I walk on," He was talking through his teeth, spitting with speech. He'd started turning rather red in the face, and it caused Anna to wonder if he had a reputation for this sort of thing.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>The butt head</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> scoffed at her words, both amused and annoyed at the same time. She seemed to have a way of getting on his nerves in the most endearing way possible. As Anna continued to dramatically make her way down the hall, Levi had to stifle a laugh that threatened to erupt from his lips. A few people were already turning their heads in her direction. For a girl that was trying to make a point about how much of an asshat he was, she was sure looking like an idiot herself. He smiled smugly at the thought and was prepared to throw out his own retort, when some man stopped Anna in her tracks.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
They were at too far of a distance for him to be able to hear what they were saying, but whatever it was, it seemed to be important.  </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>'Maybe it's a friend from the hospital?'</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi thought to himself, wondering who in the world this random guy was. While it didn't seem likely, he had swooped in from nowhere and started talking to Anna like he did actually know her, so maybe...Well, it wasn't any of his business was it? He shook himself out of the curiosity pressing into his mind. Besides, he wanted to see Ephraim, and Priscilla was probably still waiting for him.  </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><br>
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><i><span style="font-size: 12px">"No, you're going out with me."</span></i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><br>
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The voice that rang out was loud and harsh, almost bitterly so, and certainly displeased. At the sound of it, Levi turned around in time to catch what was going on. It seemed like the man was blocking Anna from moving away from their conversation, but it was hard to tell from such a stretch of space. However, it became suddenly </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>very, very clear</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> when the man grabbed her by the wrist and spat out, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"Listen here, bitch, you should be kissing the ground I walk on." </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It was evident that his face was turning a darker shade of red for each tense second that ticked by. It wasn't hard to tell that things were on the brink of getting ugly and possibly even violent. At that comprehension, a rush of panic made its way to Levi's chest. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>'Fuck.'</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Before he was even sure what was going on, he was already three steps away from them.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"No, actually, I think she's coming with </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>me</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">," Levi said in a raised voice. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>'And away from you,' </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">he added mentally. Stepping between them, he took one glance at the man's face and realized </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>'of course.'</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Cole Anderson. He had a reputation stamped on him for sure. Well, Levi was in no sort of mood to be dealing with misogynistic idiots. " -So, I'd really fucking appreciate it if you could let go of her, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>right now</i></span></span><br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It happened quickly, much faster then there was time to process it. Someone had stepped between Anna and her un-welcomed guest, which gave her a chance to pry her wrist free from his grip. After a second look and the sound of his voice, Anna realized it had been Levi who'd stepped in. It surprised her of course, but she shook it off and focused on what was being said. Her 'guest' looked shocked, and even more enraged at this point. She wondered if a person's head could explode from pure anger, and wondered for a moment just how far his brain might go if he were to lose it.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Levi?!" Cole asked bewildered. Only for a moment did he seem to be at a loss for words, before he started up again. He pushed himself roughly into Levi which caused him to bump back into Annabelle. She tumbled to the floor, making and 'oof' sound with the impact, many people were pretending as though this weren't happening. It was common in this area of town for people to ignore things when they were getting really bad. God forbid someone chip a nail or get a small bruise from intervening.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cole was clearly winding up for a fight. He always seemed to be looking for one, and most of the time he got one. There was something seriously wrong with Cole, and the more Anna looked at him the more she wanted to punch him herself. But clearly, that wouldn't bode well for her, considering their size difference. "Levi!" Anna exclaimed getting up to her feet as quickly as she could. She grabbed onto his hand and quickly pulled him from the hall. They weren't running, but were moving fast enough that several nurses yelled for them to slow down. But, Annabelle ignored them until they were in an elevator going god knows where.<br>
<br>
<br>
She slammed the button hard, trying to get the doors closed while Cole advance on them. Fortunately he was much to large and slow to have kept up with them. When the doors finally shut, and they were headed to some un-named floor, Anna put her back to the wall and slid down into a sitting position. She was gasping for air and trying hard not to cough. If she had a fit now, it would only make things worse, there was no way she was letting that happen. So Anna ducked her head under her hands and drew her knees to her chest. If she hid her face and focused on something else, it would pass.</div>

That fact became evident enough when he pushed into Levi, who then collided into Anna into a mess of sprawling limbs and confusion. That action was enough of an incitement to start swinging more than just a few punches. Luckily, before they had the chance to start anything, a </span></span><br>

They hurried into some elevator, the doors closing just in time to keep Cole out – and just enough time for them to take one last glimpse of his red face, his features twisted in anger. However, they were now safe for the time being. As soon as the doors had slide shut, Levi once again let out a steady stream of curse words, swearing until his lungs were on the brink of giving out. “– that fucking bastard, Jesus H. Christ! That fucker –” He stopped in the middle of his tirade, when he suddenly realized that Anna was </span></span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> behind him. She was sitting on the floor, half gasping and half coughing at the same time. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, are you okay?” Levi asked, whirling around. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, it was pretty darn worrying that Anna was practically </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>heaving</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> for air. Before she had time to answer, he interrupted. “No seriously, don’t give me any of that </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>I’m fine</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> bullshit. You sound like you’re going to pass out.” Rather sheepishly, he patted her lightly on the back, as if that would help at all. Without a doubt, he was feeling pretty useless just standing idly by. He crouched down next to her. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Hey, do you need anything? Water or something?” He asked, forcing his voice to hold steady and calm. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It would be of no help if he started freaking out about the whole situation too. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Annabelle didn't move until the doors slid open with a screech. SHe lifted her head and looked up at Levi who wasn't as far from her as she'd expected. With her heaving, there wasn't much she could say to him. Really all she needed was to get out of the elevator and out into the air. Coughing, blood splattered on the back of her hand where she'd covered her mouth. Frowning at the coppery taste in her mouth Anna pointed up toward the ceiling and pushed herself shakily to her feet.<br>
<br>
<br>
"R-roof," She choked out, coughing again, with more blood. Having and episode and being in the halls of a hospital wasn't helping. There wasn't a person in hell that would get her to get help voluntarily, she'd have to be almost dead or unconscious for that to happen. So for now, she was freaking herself out; worried that they might run into someone that would drag her off to some hospital room and drug her.<br>
<br>
<br>
With the support of Levi's arm, Anna made it out into the evening air. It had cooled off some and the sun was starting to set. Now, she was taking in deep breaths through her nose and out of her mouth. It was a pain in the ass to be this sick, Anna thought as she fell to her knees in exhaustion. She'd begun to sweat and shake slightly from fighting a black out. It took her about ten minutes to be able to sit correctly and speak.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Fuck..." Anna breathed, her voice airy and soft, "...What the fuck is his problem?" She asked though she wasn't exactly looking for an answer.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">They made their way up to, stumbling and staggering along. Levi ripped open the door to the rooftop and a gentle wind greeted their arrival, The air outside was cool and breezy and relaxing – not the sickly cold air conditioning of the hospital halls inside, but instead something that felt real and nice. It was nearly twilight by now, and the sun was melting a hazy yellow against the blue and purple sky. Clouds burned gold with the reflected rays of light. Below, the city buildings and streets were also cloaked in an auric glow. Taking in the sunset, Levi took a few deep breaths of fresh air to soothe down the mix of anger and worry that swirled in his head from the events that had just transpired moments ago. Feeling sufficiently calmed down, he turned back to Anna who was sitting on the floor, knees pulled to her chest.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Don't fucking know, don't fucking care," he answered. And it was true for the most part; he had no idea what Cole's problem was. There had been rumours and occasional casual brushes with him before, but their relationship hadn't extended much after they passed their preteen years. Besides, it was their parents who had mostly forced them into hanging out with each other anyway. They had always been dissimilar – the same as the present, only they had grown different in different ways. Levi didn't care much for him; it was his parents that believed in making connections. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
As he turned to her, he noticed the smear of blood on the back of Anna's hand. She had been basically coughing her lungs out the whole way up, but he had been much too preoccupied in the heat of the moment to realize she was also coughing out </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>blood.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> The more that Levi surveyed her, the worse she seemed to be – pale, shaking, sweating. It was freaky. She had almost seemed fine at the start of the day, and now...</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Well shit.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He had never liked to pry into other people's lives, mostly because he didn't like people poking their noses in his business, but Levi crossed his arms and said:</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Anna, we're </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>at the hospital</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> – I can get you a nurse or something, just...why the hell do you keep running away from doctors?"</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Everything in her had reduced to raspy gasping. It wasn't anything near what she'd been doing before but it still sounded drowned and painful. "If I...let them help me...." She shut her eyes and leaned back against the edge of the building. "...My family would know....I'm in the area and....then I'd be fined...and hunted for debt..." She shook her head before opening her eyes again. Taking a few deep breaths the wheezing began to slow on it's own.<br>
<br>
<br>
"My family, especially my Father...are just waiting for me to die out..." She gave a weird smile, as though even the thought of smiling at that moment gave her pain. It came out as more of a grimace than anything and she absently wiped the blood from her hand to her skirt. It wasn't as though anyone cared what she looked like anyway. "So much for getting dolled up..." This time Annabelle did laugh. But again, it was pained and her eyes began to become glassy like she was going to cry.<br>
<br>
<br>
The fresh air felt cool on her skin, having started to sweat from coughing so forcefully. Normally she'd have passed out by then, unconscious on the elevator floor or on a landing of one of the stair flights. But, here she was aware and even talking. It had been a long time since she'd been able to have an attack like that without falling flat into the dirt.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna's hair had begun to curl around her forehead and temples, while some strands were glued to her skin with sweat. Her lips were stained a rusted red since the blood there had dried. It looked like she was the walking dead, her eyes dark and sunken around the edges, dried cracked lips that would have been painful for anyone. "It's...nice out here, isn't it?" She asked after a long time of silence. The buildings were like torches in the light of the hour, and they reminded her of jewels blazing and twinkling. It was going to be dark soon, and Priscilla was going to start wondering where her brother had gone off too.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm gonna hang out here while I gain my footing. You probably should get back to your siblings, " Anna suggested, glancing toward the door they'd come from. "Thanks for helping me out with that jerk by the way...you seem to be...helping me out a lot lately.." A breeze warm and soothing blew through and Anna shut her eyes once more, it brushed some of her hair from her shoulders and ruffled her now blood stained and wrinkled dress.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">She seemed deeply uncomfortable answering his question, a feigned smile stapled painfully on to her face. Feeling awkward,  Levi didn't inquire about her family matters any further. However, her halting reply had left a strangely bitter taste in his mouth – acrid with a hot, burning contempt. He could not, for the life of him, imagine someone who would just leave their child for death – especially when they practically had the entire world accessible by the change in their pocket.  Between what Anna had just said, and the whole disastrous incident with Michael...Well, and here </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>he</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> had thought that he was the one with the dysfunctional family. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
As Levi turned to look at her, he saw that she was very much on the verge of tears again. Noticing, he quickly glanced away  – a swift motion of evident politeness. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>(Even he knew when to be courteous.)</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Instead, he focused his attention towards watching the sun set below the city rooftops; the beams of light were fragmenting across buildings and glass windows. It was growing increasingly dark, and night was perched patiently just around the corner, waiting to illuminate the sky with its own particles on star-light. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"It's...nice out here, isn't it?" </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Anna's voice came soft and steady. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Yeah..." he said in agreement, "I guess so." </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The gentle breeze ruffled through his hair and clothes. She was right, it was nice to be out here – outside and above everything that was chaos. For a brief period, he could forget everything that was happening back at the ground-level and breath in the sunbeams and city lights. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Only for a moment though.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Somewhere in the back of his mind, he was quite aware of the fact that there was a ninety-nine percent likelihood of seeing a pissed-off Priscilla when he returned to earth. Anna's next words only brought the awareness into full realization. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Yeah, I should probably go before Cil – I don't know – reports me as a missing person or something." With some hesitation, Levi made for the door. He glanced back as Anna spoke again, her figure now all silhouettes and fiery hair against the dying embers of the orangey sun. A smirk pulled up onto his face, and he rolled his eyes. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Uh-huh, and you seem like you've been getting into a lot of trouble lately."</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna couldn't help but laugh, "Haven't you noticed?" She opened her eyes and looked over to Levi who was headed for the door, "It's sort of my specialty!" After another laugh, she pushed herself up to her feet. It caused her to waver slightly, and she was thankful for the high edges of the roof, or she might have just fallen to her death. "You uh...wouldn't mind giving me a ride home...would you?" She asked it sheepishly, making it clear she wouldn't have asked if she didn't think she needed to.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was obvious she wasn't going to be able to walk home on her own, it'd take her the better part of the night. That is...if she didn't pass out in the road and get run over before she made it there. Anna raked a hand through her crimson locks and frowned, even a movement as simple as that made her feel like she'd been run over by a truck. Sometimes Anna did look forward to passing, so she wouldn't have to deal with the pain anymore. But then she shook it off and tried to focus on something good, anything.<br>
<br>
<br>
The day had started out much better than she'd hoped, having found Ephraim awake and talking, but they didn't last long. It seemed that drama followed her where ever she went, even when she was trying as hard as she could to avoid it. And somehow it always seemed to involve Levi as of late. He knew where to find her, he was there to stand up to her. Sure he was an asshole, but there was something inside him that was sweet and caring. Even if Levi didn't want Anna to see it, she did, and she wasn't going to soon forget it.<br>
<br>
<br>
It had become totally dark, and the only light was the moon. Sure the city was bright and bubbling, but with their height the lights hardly reached them. Anna always liked it better at night, it was calming to see the stars hung up in the sky. She looked up then, her face bathed in moonlight, and she smiled. Anna was still sickly pale, but she was smiling, and it would have been hard to tell why if you didn't know her.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm just glad to be alive," Anna murmured to herself before looking back over to Levi, who was staring at her. Anna's cheeks flared, sometimes she got so lost in her own thoughts she forgot others were around her.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><br>
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">She stood up, all wibbly-wobbly, and Levi was beginning to wonder if it was a good idea to leave her at such a perilous height. If it weren’t for the waist-tall concrete edges on the roof, then he was sure that she would’ve stumbled off by now. Anna seemed to be thinking the same thing, because less than a second later, she asked </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"You uh...wouldn't mind giving me a ride home...would you?"</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It was dark already, the city lighting up just as the stars in the sky had. Levi briefly glanced over at Anna, before his eyes settled on the glowing urban jungle below. He worked in life insurance, and so it was his job to calculate the likelihood of someone dying – mortality risk, morbidity, the probability of events happening – all of that statistical jazz. It was a science, it was mathematics, and it was numbers. However, it didn’t take a genius to figure out that the possibility of Anna tripping into on-coming traffic was looking undoubtedly high at the moment.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
And it wasn’t like he had anything better to do. He currently had the options of:</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
a)  Probably get verbally annihilated by Priscilla when he got home. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
b)  Trying to get drunk on wine coolers, but not being hung over for work tomorrow.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
c)  Flopping into bed and going to sleep for the next fifty million years. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He sighed. “Yeah sure, c’mon…Just don’t fall off the roof or something.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
(His </span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">She jerked forward, clearly still weak on her feet, "I'm workin' on it!" she snapped but gave a slight smile. Anna wasn't sure if she liked Levi or if he liked her but besides Eph, this was about the only person who even spoke to her or gave her the time of day. It was only that, he had a funny way of showing it. Shaking her head to clear her mind, she carefully descended the stairs and followed back into the elevator after Levi. "I wonder if your sister is gonna run you over with a car." She said and giggled. It was of course, an over exaggeration, but she'd known Priscilla long enough to know that it was accurate enough to make a point.<br>
<br>
<br>
They'd rode the elevator pretty much in silence, except for blank meaningless comments every now and again. Every few floors or so someone would join them but get off at the next. Anna was growing nervous, wondering if her forceful suitor was still fuming and down stairs waiting for them. It wouldn't have shocked her if he had been, but to their luck he wasn't. "I'm gonna go wait outside," Annabelle jerked her thumb over her shoulder in the direction of the exit. She'd interrupted their visiting time, and she didn't need to tag along and make things more awkward.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Take your time," She said and waved her hand as she started down the hall, not waiting for Levi to respond. Though it wasn't like him, in her experience anyway, Anna worried he might try to stop her so she walked more quickly than normal. It wasn't until the warm summer night air was on her skin that she slowed. But it didn't take her long to find a spot to sit, pull her knees to her chest, and cry. Sometimes when she'd gone through strong attacks, she was scared she wouldn't come out of them. They'd seemed to be getting worse lately, and there were times she wondered when her next attack would be her last. This was an idea that scared her more than anything. Ending life before she'd even really lived it, before she'd loved, or traveled. Dying before she had the life that she deserved.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">She was walking out of the room just as he arrived at the hall. In the instant that they locked eyes, she bristled at the sight of him; he backed-up against the wall defensively. The hostility was thick enough to be suffocating. It was a quick match – a fast fuse of black powder that was burning at a rapid pace. Any second now, the bomb was going to explode off in a fiery haze of verbal aggression. Priscilla shut the door with deliberate care. Without skipping a beat, she whirled around to face Levi. The motion was something violent – anger seeping from movement, irritation molding her features into a stony glare.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“We came here to see Ephraim,” she hissed, voice dripping in venom, “Not for you </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>to fuck around</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">.” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I-I went for a walk, ok?” Levi snapped back. “Jeez, I was just a little mad – needed to clear my head.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He chose not to dish out the details of the little misadventure with Anna and Cole. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
(...After all, there was no need to mention the fact that he had nearly gotten into a fist fight in the hospital lobby.) </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Before he had a chance to stick another word in, his sister was already yelling.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“He thinks it’s </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>his</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> fault now that you’re a fucking twat! What the hell Levi, you don’t just run off whenever you feel like it. You were gone for </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>hours</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, hell, I thought you had left!” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Cil being pissed off at him was expected, anticipated, easy to accept. He was used to it. What bothered him the most, however, was the fact that he had walked out on Ephraim. Eph, who was supposed to be resting, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>not listening to his asshole brother rage at some girl.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He was stupid for losing his temper like that, and more so for leaving without a word. Levi could feel the shame simmering slowly in his stomach. He reached for the door handle, but paused when he heard Priscilla cut in. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Don’t bother. He’s asleep,” she spat.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
His self-justified annoyance was quickly beginning to dissolve seamlessly into guilt. It was building by bricks now, stacking heavier and higher.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Cil, I’m sorry – ”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Yeah, just fuck off, alright?”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
<span class="horizontal-rule bbcode-horizontal-rule bbcode-horizontal-rule-dotted-thick dotted-thick"></span></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The summer night was warm and pleasant, but he was feeling </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>cold cold cold. </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He supposed that this could be the feeling of regret.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi walked around the parking lot until he spotted Anna crouched up against the wall of the building. It was evident enough that she was shaking with quiet tears, her cheeks glistening in lamp light. In a better mood, he might’ve asked her if she was okay. But at the moment, he had a sufficient amount of his own problems piled up with inquiring about hers. When he finally got to her sitting spot, Levi couldn’t find anything remotely comforting to say. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>He was tired of it all. </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In the end, all he could muster up was a quiet “let’s go.”</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna didn't say a word and followed Levi to his car. He was clearly in a bad mood, and she wasn't exactly feeling like bothering him about it. Before getting into the car, Anna wiped her eyes. There was no sense in crying now, it could wait until she got home. Of course, if wasn't something that he was going to ask her about anyway. Nor did she want him to, considering it would just make her feel worse. It was sort of a long drive back to her part of town and they didn't speak for half the drive.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm sorry," She finally said, having a solid idea of what he was upset about now. If having her around caused this much stress for him, she wouldn't come around. Though of course seeing Ephraim was something she'd like to do, clearly she couldn't come around without bringing some sort of trouble with her. It was best for her to stay out of these people's lives. It was no wonder her family hated her so much, she was a walking target, weak and easy for the picking. Getting other people involved with her only caused trouble in their lives. It wasn't worth trying to make friends only to start to care and see how much being around was really hurting them.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I didn't mean to pull you away from, Ephraim," He flinched in the dark she noticed, but still said nothing "It wont happen again" Annabelle knew then she'd hit the nail on the head. His brother had just come out of a coma, of course he'd be upset about missing time with him. After that she was silent and he didn't make any effort to say anything to her. Admittedly, she was sort of relieved because she worried he's blow up if he tried. When they finally got to her side of town and he pulled up to a curb, Anna hopped out. "Thanks, bye." She said shortly, and started for her shit hole of an apartment building.<br>
<br>
<br>
If being around caused this much trouble. She wasn't going to come around anymore.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The car ride was insanely awkward. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Save for the dozen or so times Levi tried starting small-talk, the occasional sound of Anna sniffling beside him, and the noise of evening traffic – the ride was particularly hushed. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to make conversation, but it was more like he had nothing left in him to act the slightest bit social. Guilt was a bug that was quickly growing an infestation in his gut. He could pin blame as well as the next person, but the truth was that </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>he had fucked it up.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Not Priscilla. Not Anna. And certainly not Ephraim. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>He</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> was the one that was perpetually angry and loud and hateful towards the world.</span></span><br>

(Levi. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Destroyer of all things that could’ve been.)</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"I'm sorry,"</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> she said, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"I didn't mean to pull you away from, Ephraim."</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
And she was right. Maybe this is what he had been pissed off about too. It wasn’t just the unexpected nature of her visit, but it was also because Anna was Eph’s friend. It was one-sixth Levi-being-Levi, one-half unexpected surprise…and maybe the last third was just a little bit of jealousy. It was rotten and it was selfish, but he hadn’t bothered to get to know his brother as well as he should have all these years. He was making up for lost time now, and some</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i> fire-haired, sassy-ass, teary-eyed </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">girl hadn’t been part of that plan.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">"It won’t happen again."</span></span></i><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Shit.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He wanted to tell Anna, no, Eph wanted to see her.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But he couldn’t bring himself to do it.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Instead, Levi kept his mouth firmly shut, focusing his attention towards the road ahead. Neither of them said anything more after that – going back to the silence that was now looking so much more welcoming in comparison to what had just ensued.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He dropped her off at the curb. Swiftly, Anna unbuckled her seatbelt and hopped out. Her brisk farewell left him with the strangest of feelings. He could, he realized, call her back and set things right.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But he didn’t.</span></span></div>

<br>
<br>
It'd been weeks since Annabelle had even decided to get out of bed let alone leave her apartment. The only times she'd left were to get enough money for something to eat when her body begged her to do so. A few attacks, larger than the last, visited her during the night and she hid in the corner of her room, curled into a ball scared and alone. The shit of an apartment that she somehow managed to keep was quiet, but the noises from the outside world did nothing in helping her relax. Hacking and wheezing from old people next door, kids running up and down the hall ways, people yelling. This was her lullaby to sleep to at night, if she even did manage to fall asleep.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna hadn't even bothered going to the other side of town, she hadn't risked going to see her only friend Ephraim, she told Levi that she wouldn't interrupt again and she'd meant it. If she didn't go then there was no chance of her causing any more trouble for Levi, Priscilla, or Ephraim. Besides this way her satanist of a brother wouldn't be able to track her down either. Overall it was a win win situation save for how alone and scared she'd felt in those last days. Most nights she'd lay in her "bed" staring up at the ceiling that was rotting and falling apart sometimes she'd cry, other times she didn't move in the slightest.<br>
<br>
<br>
The only times she got out of bed were for a shower and food when needed. There wouldn't be anyone coming for her, so she gave up on looking at her door hopefully when footsteps clomped their way down the hall. Sure Levi had helped her out, but that didn't mean he liked her and he definitely wasn't going to come to this scummy part of town to get her. Anyone who thought so had to be delusional, or at least unaware of what Levi was like as a person.<br>
<br>
<br>
Annabelle had developed dark hollow circles around her eyes, and she'd lost even more weight, though she didn't know that was possible. The sparkle in her eyes had died, and her the fiery color in her hair had dulled. There hadn't been a single thing about her that hadn't died in some sort of fashion...except for actually dying. Around her apartment didn't look much better, small and cramped as it was there were blood stained clothes on the floor along with rags. She hadn't the energy or the funds to go to the laundromat and it almost looked like a failed attempt to clean up a murder scene. <i>Maybe I'll clean it up later,</i> Annabelle thought to herself while glancing around, but she made no effort to get up and do so.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><br>
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘Maybe this isn’t such a great idea…’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi thought, nervously stepping into the decrepit building. He swore that whole thing was on the verge of collapsing – bricks crumbling, plaster cracking – and couldn’t imagine anyone living in some depressing place like this. Nevertheless, he took in a deep breath and walked in anyways. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘Suck it up, Levi,’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> he told himself, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘Just do it.’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Weeks had passed in an excruciatingly slow pace. The month of August was finally around the corner, and summer was beginning to cool down slowly and surely. Plenty of time had elapsed, yet still nothing was back to normal. If anything, things had only gotten more hectic, more on edge, more unbearable. He went to see Ephraim every day – which also meant that he had to see his parents every day. The minute he treaded into old territory, the tension in the O’Flaherty household was practically buzzing, reaching a near hysteria. A façade of familial politeness was all the kept the whole thing from erupting into chaos.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
And Levi would try to talk to Eph during those visits, but it only made things harder for the both of them. Sometimes he’d get a soft, halting line or two from his brother. On other days, he would receive inexplicable frustration and mood swings from him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>(And there were things that the both of them kept away from each other, lock-and-key.)</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> So he stopped trying to make conversation. He had never been good at that anyways.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Um, I’m looking for Annabelle McHerren?” Levi tentatively asked a teenage boy who was sitting and smoking on the floor in what he guessed was supposed to be the lobby of the apartment. The kid blew a few smoke rings, eyeing him carefully before answering. It was weird. Levi never thought he’d be judged for looking too put-together, too nice, too rich.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Second floor, man. Unit B1.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It was kind of a last-ditch effort on his part to make Ephraim a little happier. He had asked Levi about her a few times before, always considering her name very carefully as he said it. Levi knew that there were still aspects where his memory faltered into blank spaces. There were certain things that his brother could not recall…And Anna was something only partly remembered…something </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>important but indefinable.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Maybe Eph’s frustration wasn’t so inexplicable after all.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Trying to avoid all the people hanging out in the hallways, Levi finally arrived in front of her door. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Without giving himself the privilege of hesitation, he knocked.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">(( It's not nearly as rushed as you'd think. Sure it's missing details here and there, but I'm not worried about it! I would rather get a reply out and have you do another than edit that one.  <img src="https://www.rpnation.com/media/emoticon1-tonguesmile.23675/full?d=1488654879" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title="smile tongue    :P" data-shortname=":P">  ))<br>

<br>
At first, Anna wasn't sure she'd even heard it correctly. Someone was at her apartment door, knocking? Great. It was probably the landlord who came up routinely to yell at her about noise, mess, and rent. Though of course, she hardly made noise, never left mess outside of her apartment, and paid rent on time everytime. For some reason people found it easy to yell at her, to push her down when she was hurt and keep going. "I'm coming!" She called after debating on whether or not to even get out of bed to answer it. He'd just be back later if she didn't talk to him now, and she didn't feel like having to deal with him that night. It was a pain in to get out of bed, not in the way that annoyed her but in a way that physically hurt. It'd been days since she'd been out of bed and she wasn't out of bed for more than a few hours. Standing still, Anna waited for the room to stop hurling before she attempted to go to the door.<br>
<br>
<br>
She coughed loudly into the crook of her arm, and glanced over to the mirror to make sure there wasn't blood on her face. There wasn't, but she noticed the dull look on her face and circles under her eyes and cringed. If she didn't look shitty before, she was definitely pulling it off now. It took a while for her to actually get to the door, even though she'd told the person behind it she was coming. When she finally got there, she felt herself feeling nervous, worried that someone was going to see her like this. Even if it were her landlord who couldn't care less about her physical appearance. Her looking like trash didn't affect the apartment so it was no consequence to him.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I just put the rent in your mail--" Annabelle had started to say as she opened the door. But was stopped mid sentence when she realized who was actually standing at her door looking painfully awkward and uncomfortable to be there. Her mouth hung open slightly, the shock that she was feeling stopped her from forming any words to greet him. All Anna could bring herself to do for a long moment was stand there and stare at him. In a million years, Annabelle would never have guessed that Levi would make his way up to her apartment. Her must have needed something, or he might have fallen and hit his head. Then, her expression turned from shock to confusion as she leaned into the door frame to support her weight. She was weak and standing even that long was too much of an effort for her. "Is everything okay?" She finally asked, her voice soft and raspy. While she leaned, she quickly grabbed the door handle and pulled the door as close to her as she could without having to move, this way the door would block most of the view of her shit hole living space. She looked like garbage, she didn't want to have Levi judging her for her garbage apartment too.</div>

Still, it took a few more moments before Levi heard the sound of footsteps followed by the quiet click of a lock being turned. Those brief seconds, however, were enough to make him question (again) how sane he was for doing this. If anybody saw him fraternizing with McHerren's disowned </span></span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> daughter...certainly nothing good was going to come out of that. And plus, he was a hundred percent ready to admit that it was shitty of him to be asking her for favors, when he was the one that had screamed to be left alone. Doubt was beginning to sprout – once again – if this had been a conceivable idea at all.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The door swung open, and he was met with a whirlwind of a girl.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>“I just put the rent in your mail –”</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Anna trailed off when her eyes met his, jaw dropping to form a perfect expression of disbelief. Just the same, Levi was pretty surprised at her appearance too – for different reasons though. It might’ve been awhile since they last saw each other, but she seemed like a ghost of a person from weeks ago – thinner, paler, sicker. There was something intrinsically tired about the way she was holding herself up against the door frame, something easily breakable. Purple shadows were forming underneath her eyes, and her hair was a matted tangle around her shoulders. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>A flickering flame.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Neither of them said anything, simply staring at each other in some odd mixture of surprise and disbelief and awkwardness. Then finally – </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"Is everything okay?"</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Um…No actually,” Levi responded slowly, still staring at her. “Ephraim…uh, he’s not…Hey are you alright?” He asked instead. She looked she was on the verge of passing out, leaning against the door frame just to stay upright. Maybe this had been a bad time to have randomly dropped by. “...You kind of look awful.” And it was a rather backhanded way to express concern – half insult, half care, the only sort that came naturally to him. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Um, can I come in?" Levi asked as politely as could manage.  </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It wasn't entirely shocking when she realized that Lievi hadn't come just to see her. She'd asked the question and though she'd known that answer, had hoped for another one. Something was wrong with Ephraim, and though it sent a pang of pain through her, she had told herself that she wasn't going to get mixed up in this families business any longer. <i>"Can I come in?" </i>Levi had asked and frowned. Knowing him he wouldn't take no for an answer, and he'd probably seen enough of her apartment that there wasn't a reason to keep him from coming it. If he already saw the mess and still wanted in she wasn't going to stop him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Are you okay?...You look awful." </i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><br>
<br>
<br>
She pushed herself off of the door frame which took more energy than she thought it would have, and the soft grunting sound she'd made proved that. "My, don't you have a way with words," She said and rolled her eyes. However Anna was smiling, clearly not having been offended by what he said. She was perfectly aware of just how crappy she looked, and she turned back toward her one room apartment and frowned. There were several bloody rags by her bed, and a few crimson stains her her blankets. If she weren't standing up right and talking, someone would have probably guessed she were murdered in her sleep or something.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Sorry about the mess," Anna grimaced at the clutter and walked over to her pile of rags, scooping them up quickly and throwing them into a near by waste basket. "I wasn't expecting guests..." It was never something she would have expected, never had anyone come looking for her. It was like people wanted to put themselves in this part of the city by choice let alone stay for any amount of time. Leaning over, she almost fell off balance but grabbed the corner of a rickety bed side table to steady herself. With the free hand she plucked a hair tie off of the floor and stood up again, slowly so there wouldn't be too much of a head rush.<br>
<br>
<br>
Annabelle plopped down on her bed and threw back the covers so that the stains and aftermath of long nights were hidden. "There's a chair over there," She gestured to a small lounge chair, the stuffing falling out. Before saying anything else, however, she tied her hair back into a bun and it only showed the hallow of her cheeks all the more. Her tired expression worsening, "Somethings up with Ephraim?" She asked, her voice tired and husky.</div>

She opened the door, but by the time he had walked all the way into the apartment unit, Levi was beginning to feel sorry that he had. Everything looked like it was on the verge of collapse. Between the chipped paint and peeling wallpaper, cracks littered the walls and made winding roads all the way up towards the ceiling. Well, this only managed to heighten his sense of apprehension. His eyes traveled back down in time to see Anna scoop up a pile of…</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>something</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> and throw it into the trash bin. Whatever it was, it had been spotted with a spray of red... </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>(Blood? Maybe it was just some kind of juice??)</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> As stunned as he was, Levi managed to hold his tongue his time. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>“Sorry about the mess…”</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“No…It’s okay,” He heard himself say quietly, staring after her. For a second, she looked like she was about to faint again. Levi moved forward by instinct, but the reflexive gesture proved to be unnecessary as Anna grabbed onto the bed and pulled herself upright. He stood nervously in the middle of the room, unsure of what he was trying to do exactly by being here. Finally, he walked over to the lounge chair that Anna had gestured towards, sitting down tentatively. Maybe the conversation would be a little less discomfited if they were both safely sitting. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Um. It’s not that something’s up with him…It’s just that he’s still…adjusting.” Two months after the accident, and </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>adjusting</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> was still the vague, sugar-coated word to be used. But it was the truth in a way; nothing significant had happened to Ephraim the whole time – no major incidents, no outstanding tragedies. It was just this constant back-and-forth fight of trying to coax back the brother he had before. Three days of an agonizing wait, and an infinite number of days ahead. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Adjusting.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
They were all trying to adjust. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“And…Well, he can’t really </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>remember </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">what happened in the last few weeks preceding the accident, and it’s really bothering him. I don’t know. I just thought it might help if you go see him. Maybe.”</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Annabelle couldn't help but frown, it wasn't fun hearing that your only friend was struggling. But, as much as she wanted to go to him and try to help, she wondered if that would only make things worse. She looked down at her hands, shaking and the skin greyed, "I don't know that I'd be much help," She said honestly, knowing quite well that wasn't really was Levi had come to hear. He wouldn't have been coming to her if he didn't think it was a last resort. But in all honesty, she wasn't really sure if she could help and if she went and wasn't able to do anything....it'll only upset everyone further.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I've got a lot I'm dealing with right now," She said and sighed. There wasn't much energy left in her, and she worried that if she made it to the hospital she wasn't ever going to leave it. "Besides, I don't want to complicate things for him further, adding another person into the mix might be the last thing Ephraim needs..." She was trying hard to keep the emotion out of her voice, not wanting to give anything away. Not only was she frightened for Ephraim but she was frightened for herself.<br>
<br>
<br>
Annabelle pushed herself back to her feet, and went over to a tiny makeshift kitchen where she managed to find a kettle, and fill it with water, and set it down on a hot plate. It was clear that even the small action of making tea was almost too much for her, she swayed on her feet again, but leaned against the wall to conceal the weakness. Her eyes were glassy when she looked back over to Levi who looked more than uncomfortable to be there. She wanted to help, but wondered if it would only cause more damage than good. "What would I even say to him....?" The fear for both of them sounded clear in her voice now, vulnerable and weak. She shut her eyes then, and her eyebrows knitted together right now pain was waving over her and she was doing everything in her power to fight it.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It had also, he realized, been a pretty bad idea to spring up on her with a surprise visit, and her words only confirmed his thoughts. Annabelle looked like she was about three seconds away from falling into unconsciousness – movements looking unsteady and trembling and strained. Just watching her, he was perched on the edge of his seat, waiting to react to anything that was to happen. The last time at the hospital…Well, he didn’t remember the incident too much fondness, considering that she had almost swayed right off the roof.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She did have a point. Maybe adding another person into the problem would make thing worse, confuse Ephraim only more. But although he couldn’t imagine what his brother could possibly be thinking, it wasn’t hard to tell that whatever they were doing now – it wasn’t working. Two days, two months: nobody even knew what happened that night. People didn’t swerve off the road for no reason. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>He had been intoxicated</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, they said. But when they broke that piece of information to Eph </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>(and ever so gently, they did)</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, he looked up with a blank-eyed stare and answered “W-why…would I…do that?”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Nobody knew. Maybe Eph did. Maybe, buried somewhere in there.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Anna began filling a kettle with water in what was supposed to be a kitchen. It was plain enough to see that she struggling to keep standing, leaning against the wall for support. After a long pause, she turned back towards him. Her eyes looked watery. Her voice suggested the same. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"What would I even say to him....?" </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">And </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>oh god</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, if only Levi knew the answer to that. If there was some miraculous word to fix it all, he’d happily say it </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">and wave his magical fucking wand while at it.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I just think,” he admitted quietly, “That he’s sick of our parents, he’s sick of Priscilla, he’s sick of me.” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
A change in scenery. It could be something disastrous, but what was there to lose anymore?  </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The tea kettle squealed to life after a long pause, Anna had to think this over. She'd told herself that she wasn't going to get involved, ruining their lives any longer but this time was different right? Ephraim was her friend, and she wanted to help anyway that she could but, if things went wrong it would only be more cause for Levi and his family to loathe her existence. After somehow managing to pour a cup of hot water and stick a tea bag into it, she moved to pick it up and walk it over to Levi. "I can try to hel--" She swayed on her feet again, this time losing herself and sending burning hot liquid down on top of her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna couldn't help but cry out in pain, but quickly stifled it and sat up. The room was spinning, but she wasn't going to make a big deal about the blisters that were almost instantaneously forming onto the skin of her arm. "Sorry..." She apologized and gripped onto a chair near by that looked like it might have once belonged to someone's dining set. "...Let me try that again," She forced a laugh trying to make light of the pain. If anything, it would hurt more if she hadn't had Levi there to cover up for. Trying to act like you were fine when you weren't gave Annabelle time to divert her mind and not focus on the issue at hand.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she did manage to get to her feet however, she didn't move, gripping the chair. It was pretty much the only thing keeping her standing, and she stared down at the mug on the floor. It hadn't broken, but if she were to bend down to get it, she worried that she wasn't ever going to be able to get up. It would have been extremely embarrassing to try and do something so common and end up not being able to do it. So she just awkwardly stood and stared at it unsure of what exactly she should do.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">She didn’t reply to his comment, only turning her back towards him as the kettle began to whistle out a shrill note. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>

<br>
 <br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>So that’s it,’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi thought bitterly. It seemed like she had zero intention of being tangled up into more of his family fuckery. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Well, he couldn’t argue against that.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Nobody in the entire world would willingly agree to take on more problems along with their own. Despite not giving a verbal answer, her physical expression was indication enough. He was ready to leave. There wasn't a point to staying here any longer where he clearly had no reason to be. After pouring a cup of the steaming water, Annabelle finally looked over at him and began to speak. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Her words, however, were completely lost to the subsequent events.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She was walking to him very slowly, unsteadily – and the moment before it happened – Levi was sure that Anna was going to lose her balance this time. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>And she did fall</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, sending a spray of hot tea across the floor as the cup clattered loudly against the ground. A cry left from her lips, which then quickly turned into some half-strangled laugh. The sound was enough to jostle him out of his shock, and Levi stood up at once. Still, she managed to get up from her seat, clinging onto a chair for support.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
This visit was turning out to be more disastrous than he had even imagined. Levi carefully picked up the chipped cup and set it on the table, looking around for paper towels or something to clean up the mess. What his eyes got caught on instead – was Anna’s arm. Momentarily forgetting what he was doing, he instinctively reached forwards and held her by the wrist, pulling her arm out towards him. The skin was scorched red, tiny blisters already forming before his eyes, and “Oh </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>fuck</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Fuck,” he repeated again, “Do you have any bandages or anything? Cold compress? Medication?” The bombardment of questions came out of his mouth before he had a chance to think them through. On second thought maybe having her meander around the apartment for medical supplies wasn’t the greatest idea ever. “–Wait, no, just sit down. Tell me what you need and I’ll go get it.”</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">All that Anna could bring herself to do was stand there for a long moment. She was in sort of a shocked state, and only when Levi started blurting out word after word did she look up and speak. There was a surprising expression on her face, he was concerned about her and that wasn't something he'd expected to come from him. "First AID....uhm, I think there is some in the bathroom," She pointed with her injured hand and made a face when the blistered skin throbbed from the action. It was clear that it was causing her pain but she was refusing to say much about it. "I'm okay, I can take care of it later..." She suggested and turned slowly to face Levi who was now storming off to the bathroom.<br>
<br>
<br>
She'd been trying to tell him that she was going to try and help Ephraim, but she'd been a clutz and fallen. It seemed that anytime Levi was around she did something stupid and upsetting. What the hell was wrong with her? Frowning she waited for Levi to come back, and when he did she apologized again. "I don't know what the hell is wrong with me," She said and shook her head as though she was disappointed in herself. Of course, she was disappointed in herself, but that wasn't something Anna ever hid about herself.<br>
<br>
<br>
"About Ephraim...." Annabelle started, trying to keep the whole conversation off of her illness and her injury, "I can do the best I can...though I think it's a bad idea, I'd like to help." She said and moved to sit down into the chair that she'd been using to hold herself up. If she fell again, she probably wasn't going to let herself get back up. It'd be completely stupid of her and she was sure that Levi would storm out because she's such an annoying idiot.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm not even sure that me showing up will spark anything for him...I don't really know much more than you seem to know," She wasn't with him when he'd crashed, obviously. And it had been weeks since she'd seen him, and even then when she finally did run into him he was in a hospital bed, out cold.<br>

“Well that’s great, eh. That makes two of us,” Levi grumbled. He set down the box of stuff he had found in the bathroom, pushing it in Anna’s direction. Either these accidents happened a whole lot to her, or he just had some freaky voodoo affect on her health. It seemed like every time he was around; she was falling or crashing or running into something. Nevertheless, she </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>was sick</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, and he didn’t believe that she needed to apologize for that. It wasn’t something she could control anyways…</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“It’s fine. Just fix up your arm,” he replied.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
She moved and sat down in the chair, beginning to change the topic. The minor distraction was now over, and they had shifted back seamlessly onto Ephraim. He sighed, leaning against the wall with a weary glance at the door. In all truth, he didn’t want to think about what </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>would</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> happen to Eph or what </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>had</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> happened to him. But what was more powerful than his feeling of unease, was that he didn’t think he could keep up with optimistic pretenses much longer. Every time he stepped into the O’ Flaherty abode, it was like stepping into fucking Disneyland. Nobody wanted to admit that </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>nothing</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> was fine.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“It’s really not about sparking anything or whatever,” Levi answered. “Unless you’re a miraculous hypnotist, I didn’t come here expecting you to wheedle all the answers out his mind, or perform some fairy magic to cure him.” He paused, looking down at his feet. How was he going to explain this to somebody who didn’t even remotely understand? Anna was something very secretive Eph had kept to himself. A surreptitious friendship…So this wasn’t about being supportive, this wasn’t about having different people around him. Levi could’ve made the same request to any one of Ephraim’s millions of friends, but that wasn’t the point.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The point was for him to have a breath of air. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>To breathe.</i></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna frowned and opened the box full of gauze,  wipes, and bainaids. She wiped the wound and winced as the antiseptic stung, though it was cleaning out any dirt that might have ended up there after her fall. She did most of this in silence and wrapped it almost expertly as though this was something that had happened to he broke. Falling and getting hurt wasn't exactly something that she was a stranger to and she didn't mind having to take care of her own wounds. It was nice to be there with someone for a change even if he was only there to ask a favor of her.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I don't know that I'm up to it today, but I could come by tomorrow if you want," for the first time all visit, Annabelle looked Levi in the face and gave him an honest but soft smile. She wasn't upset that he wanted her to come, in fact it did help her focus less on the fact that this was something she told herself she want going to do. It was the exact opposite actually but Levi had come to her and asked her to do so, it wasn't as though she'd barged in on them.<br>
<br>
<br>
She found herself staring some so she turned away and looked around her apartment, "Ugh..." She sighed and her shoulders drooped, "I'm really sorry about the mess... I don't really have much storage space to put things away so it only end up looking more trashy... If that's even possible." Anna laughed at herself and shook her head, her cheeks flushing slightly with embarrassment. Had she been expecting someone she hod have figured out what to do it's everything to make it look neater, but this is the longest she'd been out of bed in a while and she hadn't been expecting Levi of all people to show up at her door.<br>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> dubious actions, seeing that it would be some sort of miracle if their parents ended up being welcoming and hospitable towards Anna. Still, this wasn’t the most ideal arrangement in his mind. The last time she’d been in his apartment, it had been one huge disaster of hung-over Levi and semi-unconscious Anna. </span></span><br>

“Don’t worry about it,” he quickly answered. Actually, he was pretty gung-ho on being neat. He liked to keep all his things pristine and organized – to the delight (and to the annoyance) of many people. Looking around Anna’s apartment made his skin crawl with the desire to nuke the whole thing and </span></span><br>

“Well…so…” He started to dig for other things to say, but simply came up with a bunch of small-talk and lame conversation starters. That was only to be expected. He didn’t know Anna very well outside of their surprise encounters – hell, he didn’t know Anna very well, </span></span><br>

<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna searched for something, anything to say, but no words would reach her. There wasn't much that she could say that would keep Levi's interest. He hadn't come to hear her talk about anything, he'd wanted her help and she'd given it to him. It wasn't as though people hung around in disgusting places like her apartment anyway. She was surprised that he even wanted to come in and sit down when he saw the looks of the place. SHe remembered very little of his apartment's layout, but she did however remember just how clean it had been. Of course, she had to wonder if he cleaned it himself or paid someone to do it. Shaking her head free of the thought, she looked up as Levi pushed to his feet.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Oh, sure," She said, trying not to let out any sort of disappointment in her voice. He hadn't been there long, but she was sure he'd been dying to leave a long time ago. Had it not been for her being clumsy...and well, ill, Levi would have left long before this point. He had nothing left to say to her, and she didn't dare say much of anything else back to him. If he wanted to leave, she wasn't going to stop him from doing so. Of course she would have liked him to stay. In fact she wanted to know Levi better, because the way they continued to leave things was not normally how she worked. When Anna wanted to be close to someone she wanted to know them as well as she could, jut like she'd done with Ephraim. Of course, that was easier said than done when it came to someone like Levi, hot headed and stubborn.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Thanks for stopping by," She said weakly, forcing a smile and walking behind him to the door. She bit back her tongue, because even if she had invited him to stay what in the world would she do to entertain him? Her place was falling apart, she was starving so there wasn't food for him to eat, and well...her place and apparently herself weren't all that exciting. Unless you counted her dying and something exciting, most people would have found her more depressing than anything.<br>
<br>
<br>
"What time should I be ready tomorrow?" She asked, tilting her head to the side in a questioning manner. It was going to kill her to have to get ready and look presentable due to the effort that it caused, but she'd do it for Ephraim. If helping him feel better meant her having to push herself and get through the pain then she would most definitely do it.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Levi O’Flaherty was not one for taking hints, and this was no exception. He was about as sociable as a cactus in the middle of the Sahara Desert. He came to talk to Anna to get something done, and once that business was done, he was finished with words. There was some societal pressure that they were supposed to say a little more, get to know each other or something – but he was better at swearing than he was at forming basic conversational sentences to people that were still strangers to him. Hallmark of an introvert: </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>the hell was small-talk to him?</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"Thanks for stopping by."</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> She walked him to the door. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"What time should I be ready tomorrow?"</i></span></span><br>
<br>

</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I’ll come pick you up at four-thirty,” he answered after a moment of thought. Anna certainly didn’t seem like she was well enough to make a trek across the city. He did feel somewhat guilty about the whole thing. She was clearly sick, and yet he was basically dragging her all the way towards the east end…</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Whatever.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> It wasn’t like he was making her do this. That only meant he had to plan his time as strategically as possible. Pick up Eph after work, to his apartment, then circle back around to Anna’s, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>and finally</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> drop them both off before seven-thirty. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Jeez.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He grasped the door handle, pulling it open. “Well, um, thanks again…I think he’ll really appreciate it,” Levi said. With one last glance, he stepped out. The dim lights flickered incessantly in the hallway. He made it to the staircase, where the paint and rust were chipping off the railings and right onto his hands. Finally, he climbed back down to the first floor, ready to get to his car and call it a day. The kid from the lobby was still lounging around, chain-smoking a pack like he was eating candy. The haze of nicotine made Levi wrinkle his nose in disgust.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“For christ's sake. Don’t fucking smoke </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>inside</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> a building,” Levi said this time as he passed. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna didn't sleep well all night, but managed to pull herself out of bed and get ready. It was two-thirty by the time she'd done so. Showered, dressed, and she added a bit of make-up to cover up for the fact that she was lacking in color. The last thing she needed was for Ephraim to be worried about her, he did know she was dying and that came with a constant worry, she just didn't need to add to it. Frowning in a cracked mirror, Anna looked herself over. This was about as good as it got with her, though she had to admit she looked better than she had the day before when Levi had shown. On her arm were fresh bandages that she'd changed after her shower, and she wore a pretty little white dress with a white ribbon in her hair.<br>
<br>
<br>
It wouldn't be long before Levi was there to get her now, so she gathered up a purse with tissues, water, and such. You know, just the average things that any dying girl would need. Then she found her key, walked out into the hallway and locked the door behind her. It wasn't as though there was anything to take out of that apartment, but she didn't want one of her neighbors rifling through her clothes and trying  to start a yard sale with them. It wouldn't have been the first time, but she surely hoped that it wouldn't happen again. So, Anna continued to lock the door when she left to avoid it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Quietly, she walked down to the stoop the led into the building. It was cracked, lop sided, and weeds had sprung to life inside the cracks that were there. The whole building itself looked like it might collapse any minute. That if you sneezed near the apartment building, it would come down quicker than rain. Sometimes, Anna wondered what it was that held this building together, and how in the world it hadn't fallen to bits already. It wasn't as though the people who lived there tried to do anything special with it. Her eyebrows knitted together in thought and she looked out to the street, there weren't any cars...as per usual, and she knew as soon as Levi would get there, the rumors would start flying again. People on her side of town didn't get into nice expensive cars unless they were being kidnapped or a prostitute. Clearly, she wasn't kidnapped as she'd come back again and again, so to her neighbors there was really only one explanation.<br>
<br>
<br>
She wondered now, how Ephraim was doing. Was he just as nervous as she was? Did he worry that this wasn't going to help? Was Levi worried. Anna sat there and waited, wondering about all of these different things, trying to get some answers to help calm her down. But it was to no prevail so she forced herself to sing a song in her head and try to forget all about it. Her ride would be there soon.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Amidst the curious questions of </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>where are we going</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> and </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>why didn't you make a left back there</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, he managed to drop off a very suspicious Ephraim to his home without much incident. At age twenty-three, Levi still had to bypass parental supervision with a few hastily made-up excuses. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Jesus. </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">They were literally just going to go to his apartment. The wildest thing that was going to happen was probably the elevator ride up to the fifteenth floor. Hell, if </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Priscilla</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> had wanted to cart Eph to Six Flags, he was sure his parents would've given consent without so much as a bat of an eyelash.  </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Well, there was no point of stomping his foot and accusing his parents of playing favourites at this age. The plan was already well underway, and that's what mattered the most. With a huff, he diverted his attention back on the road, focusing on driving to Anna's place. The whole hassle was making him later than expected, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>and damn</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, what a headache he was getting from running circles around town. Although admittedly, it wasn't like he had anything better to do. Watching tons of television while trying to get drunk off of mildly alcoholic drinks certainly didn't amount to anything substantial.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
After a little while, he pulled up in front of the dilapidated building. Anna was already sitting up on the front steps when he arrived. Her white dress stood out in contrast to the rusting structure behind her – a mix-mash of crumbling plaster, rotting wood, and moss-covered bricks. She looked nicer, healthier than she had yesterday. Maybe it was the fact that he was seeing her outside; in the midst of sunlight and fresh air and all that. It definitely set a better mood than the decaying insides of a collapsing building.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Shit, totally sorry about being late," Levi said. "Had to basically ninja Eph out today." He waited for her to strap on the seatbelt before stepping on the gas pedal. There obviously wasn't enough time for him to recount Ephraim's life story, but he didn't want this to end up in disaster. "Um, I guess I should probably tell you a few things first," he started. "Basically, don't be surprised if there's things he doesn't remember. Don't be surprised if he doesn't even say anything. Just...give him space."</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
There was a high possibility that he was out of his mind. There was a even greater chance that Eph just wanted to be left the hell alone, and he was only creating more of a problem for the kid. And in part, this wasn't about helping Eph – this was about making up for all the lost years.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna waved a hand in dismissal of his apology, he was late but it wasn't as though she'd been waiting outside in the dark, cold, or rain. In fact sitting outside had helped her feel somewhat better even if it took her ages to get there. Actually, now that she was thinking about it just getting ready to be picked up used up all the energy she had and she very much wanted to go back to her bed.  As shitty as her apartment was, her bed was familiar and comfortable. She kept he gaze out the window as they drove but she didn't focus on much of anything since she already knew where they were headed.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I'm not too worried about it, I figure anything could happen really..." She admitted, shrugged slightly. It wasn't as though she thought she was some sort of miracle worker. If Ephraim remembered, he remembered but if he didn't...well she couldn't exactly force him to do anything otherwise. Of course it might have been upsetting to have her only friend struggling to remember who she was, but she wasn't going to get upset. He'd gotten hurt and it wasn't as though he was forgetting things on purpose. There wasn't much you could blame Ephraim for right now, especially when you had no idea what had happened when he'd gotten hurt.<br>
<br>
<br>
Annabelle glanced over at Levi and smiled, before poking her gaze back out the window. "You look nice today," she pointed out, less of a compliment and more of a fact. It hadn't been anything but a simple sentence and she hadn't meant much by it, really she was just trying to be nice. After that though, she didn't say anything else until they got to Levi's apartment. Even then, it was a simple 'thanks for the ride' as she walked in before him. She'd been there once, but the building was something of a dream and so she remembered just how to get there. When they'd finally made it to the apartment Anna waited for Levi to unlock the front door and she walked in after him. Eph was sitting in the living room, watching something or rather blankly staring at, something on the TV. "Hi, Ephraim..." Anna smiled warmly and genuinely but she made no move to get close to him. In fact she just stood there, glancing around the apartment not exactly sure what to do with herself. There was no way of telling how Ephraim was going to react to her being the, and she worried that he might be rather angry.<br>

Nodding, he said nothing more and went back to their now-typical silence. Anna seemed to be prepared and handling all the information pretty well. It was much better than he could’ve done anyways. Maybe it was because she had already spent a few hours with Ephraim – albeit he was barely-conscious by the end of the visit – or maybe she was just used to living through a magnitude of possibilities. He lived through constants, but judging by everything he knew about her, she lived through roads of instability.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“You look nice today,” Anna said suddenly. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi glanced down briefly at himself. Really, he wasn’t wearing anything new. Blue button-down and black pants – he literally dressed the same kind of way for work for the past year. There was no need for her to lie…and then he realized that Anna had never seen him on work days. They had always met when he was in his pajamas, or a t-shirt, or something. Damn, his brain was already thinking up a few snazzy comebacks for the comment. Nevertheless, Levi managed to shut himself up. He accept the compliment less-than-gracefully and muttered, “Yeah, you too.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
<span class="horizontal-rule bbcode-horizontal-rule bbcode-horizontal-rule-dotted-thick dotted-thick"></span></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
At least he was alone now. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The television was flipped on as the only source of company; the digital figures moved across the screen in a flurry of motion and voices. He tuned in and out of the show that was broadcasting, trading his attention between that and his own thoughts. In the past few months, he had far too much time to think, but not enough time to think by himself. Summer was barely felt in rooms of air-conditioning and fluorescent lights. It was drawing to a close and the heat of August was faltering to a cooler breeze. Right now, the sky was still blue out and in his greatest fantasies; he’d be going for a run outside. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Muscle and skin, metal and fabric.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He would have to get used to not-actually-his-leg first. Baby steps.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Mostly though, he was thinking about he was hungry and how if Levi could hurry up and come back with something to eat. He had no clue what his brother was up to. He never had much of a clue anyways. They were both walking around glass, because that’s what they did – </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>siblings through and through.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> However, just as he was finishing the acidic thought, he heard a voice call his name. By reflex, he turned, and by reflex, he couldn’t quite keep the surprise from his face. Ephraim looked at Anna and then looked at Levi, his expression changing from confusion to questioning. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Hey…Anna,” He said. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to see her. She was a friend, and that’s what he knew to be true. But it was the absolute pressure of knowing that fact that began to unsettle him. He didn’t want to disappoint. Not now, not ever. “H-how…What are you…doing here?” </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna forced a smile, it hadn't occurred to her that Levi wouldn't tell Ephraim that she was coming. But the look on his face when he saw her told her quickly that he had no idea about her visit. This only made things worse for her, considering this made it a lot harder for her to judge Ephraim's emotions and tone of speech. Annabelle had begun frowning slightly, but she quickly replaced it with a warm smile for her friend, "Levi wanted me to come over, since I hadn't gotten to see you lately," She mostly lied. Of course Levi had invited her, but it wasn't for the reason she'd given him.<br>
<br>
<br>
She walked over and sat down on the couch adjacent to Ephraim's seat. He was watching her, trying to figure something out it seemed but she didn't dare ask him what that was. Quickly she shot a glance at Levi, probing some sort of talking point or anything to lift the awkwardness that was touchable form the room. There wasn't much of her to say to Ephraim, since the only knew thing going on her life was that she'd gotten worse. She knew very well that she couldn't ask him about how he was doing, that would have been a stupid thing to ask him. He wasn't okay, whether he would have said so or not and she wasn't going to force him into any sort of pretence.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I-uh- I don't know if you remember, " Anna started, making a sour face at the sentence, "But I'm still playing, and I made a little bit of money...I bet you're hungry," She guessed, having figured he ate meals at normal times, and it was just now getting close to the next. She didn't have enough for all three of them of course, but she'd spend on the two brothers because she was grateful to have them in her life (even if one of them didn't like her). Without word she pushed her hand into the pocket of her dress and pulled out the bill she'd folded up neatly. There were two twenty dollar bills, which was considered a good day for her. Anna hadn't eaten in a few days, since she'd been in bed, and so the money had only sat there being unspent.<br>
<br>
<br>
"You still like chinese, right?" Anna teased, this wasn't something that they were strangers to. Poking fun light heartedly at one another was something they always had done when they spent time together. But she wondered now if acting too normal would put him under pressure to do the same and she bit her lip to keep from frowning. This wasn't going to be easy, and it certainly wasn't going to be comfortable for any of them. She just hoped for the life of her that coming to visit him didn't make things worse for Ephriam, because that was exactly what she was afraid of.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘Ha. That’s hilarious,’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Ephraim thought, </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>‘And yeah – my name’s Susan.’</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The last time they were all in the same room together, it had ended in an utter catastrophe of rage and tears. He had </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>begged</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Levi to stay, to not be angry – but all of that proved to be futile. They went in cycles and circles; this was what they were always meant to be like. This was only a repetition of what he had long gotten accustomed to. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Or so he thought.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> The bitter edge of his feelings lingered still. He had slowly been suffocated for weeks and weeks, and the burning poison in his muscles were now making itself known in his head. His reaction was near arbitrary – Ephraim knew that. He wasn’t himself. But he wouldn’t ever be. Not anymore.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
And yet, here was Annabelle. And here was Levi not completely flipping his shit at the sight of her. And here she was sitting on the couch, very much in his brother’s apartment. Eph shifted his gaze away from Levi. He had a couple of suspicions that were brewing tide-high, but he could save those interrogations for later. Right now, he had to focus on looking somewhat </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>normal</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> and </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>alright</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">. For the sake of everybody in the room, he had to make a proper effort to sit up and talk. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>He was not going to be a disappointment. </i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
To his surprise, her words were exceedingly gentle. It wasn’t exactly the sort of glass-stepping, lightly-treading sort of thing he was used to either. These words spoken were those that were laced with carefulness, but nevertheless it was something unexpected. Ephraim did remember; the sound of strummed guitar strings vibrated in his memory, and intrinsically, he knew that they had spent long hours over music. He nodded hesitantly, trying to conjure up a smile from a bit of counterfeit contentment that was wearing thin. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Oh god</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, he didn’t even know what sort of expression was on his face at the moment. The problem was he had no idea what to do with himself around people.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>"You still like Chinese, right?"</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I got it,” Levi interjected, “I can sort out dinner. You guys just…sit here.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Eph leaned on an elbow, brushing back his blond hair with a hand. He surveyed Anna for a few seconds before speaking, wondering how to best begin this whole conversation thing. One thing was for certain, and that was he didn’t want to talk about himself. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
People had done enough of that already. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“How…are you?” He asked. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna made a face when Levi intercepted, this was the opposite of what she'd wanted him to do though she really hadn't expected any less. But when Ephraim asked her a question, her expression changed from mild irritation at Levi and turned into shock and horror, but she buried it quickly not sure if either of them would have noticed or not. <i>Great, </i>Anna thought, <i>How do I explain this? </i>She looked to Levi for a moment and then around the apartment trying to find the best way to answer him. If she gave him a simple and short answer, she knew that he'd know she wasn't telling the truth. Nervously she shifted and bit her lip, "Well..." She started glancing at Ephraim before looking down at her hands that were folded neatly in her lap.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I won't lie," She offered and shook her head to clear her wild mind. "I'm not great..." It wasn't a lie, but she didn't go into it any further, if he wanted to know more he would ask. This visit wasn't about her, it was about Ephraim, and trying to make him feel some what human again. She knew how it had been when she'd first learned about Good Pasture. It wasn't something that she'd been able to fathom at her age, everything was dull and blurred for months. She didn't want to eat, sleep, or do much of anything and she had felt like the ghost of the person she'd been before that. It was just as bad as what Ephraim was going through, but a auto accident was much more...shocking when you had no idea anything was going to happen.<br>
<br>
<br>
"But enough about me," Annabelle waved her hand in dismissal and smiled at him, sweet and genuine. "I can't imagine you're doing all that great, so I wont ask." She said lightly, trying to add some softness to the nerves in the room. It was clear Eph was worried, and it was even more obvious that Levi was stressed. He cared for his brother so much, and he wanted something, anything to make his brother feel more at home again. Even if that one thing might be a girl who annoyed him to absolutely no end. He'd been willing to come to her and ask for her help for his own brother's sake. "However, I will ask if there is anything you'd like to do..." Her voice trailed off in the open ended question. Maybe he didn't want her there, maybe he wanted to go home, she didn't know but if he wanted her gone and that would make him happy she would leave.</div>

Quickly, her gaze drifted off from his eyes, wandering around the apartment to look for an answer. It was an easy question, pretty open-ended, and relatively harmless – basic small-talk, actually. All Eph had wanted was to change the topic, drag the attention away from him as far as possible. However, judging by Anna’s reaction, she was probably doing less-than-well. Something terrible must’ve happened…Even before she gave her nervously succinct answer, he had already figured it out and was sorry that he’d even asked.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Recoiling slightly into the sofa, he looked down at his hands – suddenly ashamed for his unawareness. Maybe he should’ve noticed sooner: the rings around her eyes and the hollows of her cheeks. Did Levi know about this? And what was she doing all the way here anyways? Just to see him? </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Oh, he wasn’t worth it.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> If she didn’t want to say anything else, he wouldn’t prod. After all, Ephraim was all too familiar with people trying to pry into his head. He glanced up again when Anna piped up again, her voice deceivingly cheerful. Surprisingly, she was smiling lightly.</span></span><br>

They playing some game of tennis here, shooting back-and-forth questions in an attempt to avoid talking about themselves. Was there anything he wanted to do? He searched through his head. Oh, there were things that he wanted to do for sure. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>But he wasn’t going to do them any time soon.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> It was useless trying to think about the things that couldn’t happen. Slowly, he shook his head and then shrugged.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Momentarily his eyes flickered towards the television screen, and then back to Anna.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“We…can watch…” Probably not the random show he had flipped to, “…a movie.” There was a stack of DVDs underneath the T.V. That would probably keep them occupied until…until what exactly? He still wasn’t exactly sure why Anna had chosen to come see him. At this point, he didn’t want to be </span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"I wouldn't have an idea of what to watch, since...I don't watch movies much," She laughed, waving a hand dismissively to keep the comment light. It was only the truth, considering she hadn't ever owned a TV and the last time she'd seen one, some stupid childrens show had been on it. Actually, if she were to guess the last movie she'd seen it probably would have some Cinderella bullshit or something. Frowning slightly, she shook her head and wiped the look from her face. It was odd to her, to think that mentioning a movie on the TV was something normal for someone like Levi or Ephraim, but for her it was a far away strange concept.<br>
<br>
<br>
"But if you'd rather just veg out, we don't have to do anything, not even talk," She said and smiled honestly for the first time. She understood what it was like to be bombarded with questions, it usually came with  the territory of telling someone you had a killing disease. If he wanted not to talk, and just to stare a the wall, she would do the same. "It's a pain to have to act like you're okay when you're not...." She murmured, and finally looked directly up at Ephraim's face. It was probably the first most honest thing she'd said since she'd gotten there, she related and he wanted him to know. Of course the two situations weren't exactly the same, and there were things she'd never understand about those, but there were other things that she did understand and she wanted him to know that he wasn't completely alone.<br>
<br>
<br>
Then she looked around the room, it was much the same as she remembered it. The last time she'd been in the room she'd stormed out, the first time she'd felt bitter about her death. Something in her had snapped and she'd yelled at Levi about her dying. Anna shook the thought away and examined the room some more. It probably was irritating for Ephraim for her to be here, he probably felt pressured to act as though he hadn't forgotten a thing about their friendship, as though he was perfectly alright with how things had ended up. But she knew what that felt like, and that was the last thing Annabelle wanted to make Ephraim do.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“Oh…” Eph said softly, realizing what she meant. He trailed off and looked back down at his lap, entangling his fingers into the folds of the blanket around his waist. Despite Anna’s light-hearted manner towards the whole situation, he couldn’t hope to match her mood. But he </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>needed</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> to be alright; that’s who he was supposed to be – Ephraim O’Flaherty, that pretty nice kid who served as a magnificent background prop to any situation – because </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>god forbid</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> that he’d have emotions other than being smiley and happy and polite. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>(No, no, no, no, fuck his feelings. Those weren’t allowed.)</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He was sculpted upon expectations, and there was no way he could break down his own foundations. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“It's a pain to have to act like you're okay when you're not....”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
As he looked up, their eyes inadvertently met. He could feel his cheeks warm with colour. It was pretty much like Anna had just heard the reverberating thoughts in his head. Was he that easy to read? Or did she understand something that he didn’t? Ephraim blinked and glanced away again. He’d rather do nothing – which he had been doing a lot in the past few months. It was mostly just sitting around, thinking, trying to remember the disjointed series of events leading up to that night…There was just something he couldn’t put a finger on. A memory lay just out of the realm of consciousness, and he could not piece together the reasons why. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>He had left something more than just blood on the open road.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> The cool metal of the prosthesis burned against his skin.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“H-here,” he finally said. He handed Anna the television remote, “Find something you like.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
To be honest, the thought of sitting in awkward silence with another person only made him feel apprehensive. The air was already heavy with all the things left unsaid. It would be much easier for the both of them to pretend to be focused on something trivial. If they weren't going to talk at all, the T.V. was going to sufficiently fill up any lengthy pauses. As a second thought, Ephraim lifted a corner of his blanket. “If…you’re cold,” he offered to her. She had come to see </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>him</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">, not a goddamn vegetable. If he couldn’t be semi-normal, he could at least be a friend. </span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna didn't know how to react when Ephraim lifted the blanket to her. Was she supposed to sit with him or take the blanket for herself? She hadn't the slightest clue considering she never had been offered to share a blanket with someone, she'd never really been in a place where there were blankets to share. But before she read to much more into it, she stood up, walked over and slipped herself into the space left on occupied beside him. It wasn't hard for her to fit, and she looked up at the large screen in front of them. There wouldn't be anything she liked to watch, since she never had cable or a TV for that matter, but she figured anything to keep his mind occupied would be best.<br>
<br>
<br>
Flicking the channels she stopped on a sitcom, something black and white. It featured a curly red haired woman, beautiful but very loud. She was constantly getting into trouble, and the repeating sound of laughter was enough to be able to space off and drown out what was going on. She was sure that neither of them really cared what was on TV, it as merely something to fill the silence that fell between them. Again the thought that she might be making Eph uncomfortable crossed her mind and she glanced over at him. He didn't move away, or make an odd expression, his mind was somewhere else entirely it seemed, and for once she was grateful for that. He really needed a break from the life he'd been given, and she wondered if he would ever get it.<br>
<br>
<br>
They sat this way for a long time, had Annabelle been paying attention she would have noticed that they'd gone through four episodes already. But it was about on the fourth one the two of them fell asleep. It was easy to sleep when you were so warm and the chair you were in was so comfortable, and it wasn't until a few more episodes in that Levi managed to wake them.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">He had marked the little date on his phone – both in the form of a reminder and a method of slow-acting torture. In less than a week, Ellie was going to be married to a fucking James Dean look alike, and she was going to be whisked out of Levi’s life forever by a perfect, blonde, suave-as-shit surgeon. Jesus Christ, they were going to have cute blonde children together, living in a four bedroom house with a swimming pool and a puppy. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>He could already picture it.</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> And that would make him the lonely, bitter ex-boyfriend from years and years past: just a mere memory</span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>. </i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Maybe they invited him to the wedding out of pity. Maybe out of spite. (He couldn’t say which one was worse.)</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But this was what he deserved. He’d never said more than a half-hearted apology to Ellie for everything he had bulldozed over and broken. It was always a mistake to place faith into someone like him. He had never valued trust, and O’Flahertys never apologized. He could say it was in his blood, but he could also say that he was an absolute asshole at times. Karma really came to bite him back in the butt now – when he was picking up a wedding present for the girl he had loved once, and still, and for a long time – and it was nice to know at least that life could be occasionally fair. Too fair for his liking right now.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
His gift was a wine tray. Typical. Safe. Easy. (He could imagine them seated on their patio with it.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i> Fuck.</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">)</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Carrying the bag in his arms, Levi made his way back to his car. He placed the set in his trunk, and slammed it shut – officially in the mood to drive home and shed his clothes and go to bed. But he couldn’t. Nah. He had Anna sat in the passenger seat; he had Ephraim waiting in his apartment. They were up at week number three of this arrangement, and everything seemed to be going alright. Eph seemed a little happier anyways, no longer just confined to a bed. He was much more content to be moving around, taking short walks, and doing some more exercise in physiotherapy. That was all hunky-dory now at least. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>For now.</i></span></span>  <br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi slid back into the car and buckled up his seatbelt without a word. His mind was still focused on Ellie, Ellie, Ellie – the way it had been when he found the invitation slipped in his mailbox two months ago. Maybe it was the fact that they never had closure, never had a definitive end to their chapter. They had </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>said</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> they were friends, even though what followed was years of mix-matched smiles and awkward formalities at every encounter. But he supposed that this was the way that it was going to finally end.  </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Huh. He should’ve seen this one coming. </span></span><br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">((I'm going to assume that Levi is taking Anna over to see Ephraim.))<br>
<br>
<br>
Anna had waited in the car while Levi had run an errand at a large store. This was never a place she'd been allowed to go into, at least not with her appearance. So when he'd asked her if she wanted to come in, she turned it down waiting in the car would bring her much less judgment than trying to walk into a sore where everything cost more than her whole life. Besides that, Anna could tell something was bothering Levi and she didn't exactly want to add to that stress because he could be kind of an ass hat when he was in a sour mood. As she waited, she sung softly along with the radio and leaned comfortably in her seat. She'd heard footsteps a while later and looked up to see a scowling Levi stomping toward his car, and his bad mood was only solidified when he put something fancy into the trunk and slammed it shut.<br>
<br>
<br>
When he got in Anna looked at him, frowning slightly, "Are you okay? You're in a pretty crappy mood..." She'd always been very straightforward with him when she spoke. It had been that way since they'd managed to get tangled up together in different crazy events. She wondered just what it was that was causing him to act the way he was. He probably wasn't going to tell her, and instead yell at her, but in the last few weeks, slowly they'd become some what friends at least and she was worried about him. Anna kept her eyes on him, waiting for him to blow up at her or maybe even shut her out completely. "I'm worried about you..." She finally added before Levi had the chance to respond. It was the truth though this would be the first time that she'd ever admitted that to him. Normally she'd never be caught dead saying something to him like that, but this mood, this time something was truly bothering him and she could see it.<br>
<br>
<br>
While she waited for an answer she wondered how Ephraim would handle his brother's horrible moods. Levi was a rather angry person most of the time, and she had never really seen him be that way around Eph, but what if today he blew and said something to him...mentally she shook her head. Levi would never do anything to hurt his brother, he loved him and that was clear, but her...he might just go for the throat. In for the kill.</div>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“Pft. I’m always in a crappy mood,” Levi answered dismissively, buckling up his seatbelt. He was already brushing off Anna’s words before the entire sentence was even out from her mouth. </span></span><i><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Hmm…Would it be bad if he got smashed on a Monday night?</span></span></i><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">  Probably. But hey – fuck it. He couldn’t imagine going to sleep sober right now with Ellie on his mind. He needed something in his system to knock him the hell out – all the way to dreamland and beyond. For the picture-perfect smile all throughout the wedding on Friday, he was going to require four days of an alcohol-induced numbness to make it happen. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“I’m worried about you…”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
What. What the fuck.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Okay, that made him pause his whole internal debacle for a full second.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Uh. Why would you be worried about me?” He asked, as if Anna had just stated the four strangest words he had heard in his life. “You don’t need to mind me at all. I’m just dandy.” </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>What the hell.</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> She wasn’t supposed to say things like that. They had their whole semi-friends thing going on. They were supposed to piss each other off occasionally, and have some frivolous banter on the side of that. Worrying and sympathy were two definite things that weren’t on the list of their quasi-friendship. This was weird. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>But it was also kind of nice. </i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">She didn’t know…yet.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
That was probably the thing least appealing about spilling the beans to her. She didn’t know how incredibly </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>not okay</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> he had been for weeks and months and maybe years. She didn’t know exactly how terrible he was with life, or how much he was actually barely-kept-together underneath his temper and big-mouth. She could still be fooled by the car he drove, or the clothes he wore, or the things he said. He could still be a liar, and get away with it. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>But she had asked.</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> And it was so fucking tempting to answer with a truth. (What was there to lose, anyway?)</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Levi turned to her very slowly, contemplating his words. “Okay…Let’s just say – hypothetically of course – that I’m going to a wedding on Friday. Now let’s say that this is my ex-girlfriend’s wedding…And we could also say that I really wish she wasn’t getting married for entirely dumb and selfish reasons.” He took a breath. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
“Now how would you feel in my place?”</span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna frowned at his dismissals, she wasn't going to stop worrying about him just because his pride was hurt by it. This time his facade was cracking and she was seeing glimpses of the real Levi the one that she knew was there even if she let the putter him annoy her so much. It was hard to know with him if he wanted your help or he wanted to shut you out more often than not he chose the latter but that didn't mean she was going to give up on him. Sure they weren't the closest of friends, but besides Ephraim that was who she had and she wanted to make sure he was okay. The last couple of days Anna had noticed that he was acting weird and when he explained the situation she understood.<br>
<br>
<br>
"It's perfectly normal to not want to see an ex marry someone else..." Anna started, looking over at Levi with a soft and sympathetic smile, "I'd feel pretty shitty too if I'd had the privilege of being in love and they were getting married." She didn't say it to rub it in, but to say that she understood how hard this must have been for him. No wonder he'd been so sour more so than normal the last week or so. She wasn't sure how friday was going to go for him but she was sure that it would end with him plastered and angry. Unless...someone helped him get through, god willing he would accept the help.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I know we don't always get a long...but I don't like seeing you like this..." She looked away shyly then. She was admitting she cared for him in some fashion an that she even noticed his mood change no matter how much he'd tried to hide it. "I could go with you...if that would help?" She offered and nervously tucked her fiery hair behind one ear. She worried this was cause him to blow up, to possibly throw her out of the car and never speak to her again. That seemed like something Levi would do over a suggestion like that.<br>
<br>
<br>
"I mean...I'm not worth much, nor am I the most impressive girl you could take to a wedding with you...but I think going alone might make things even harder on you," Anna said without looking at him, she was looking out the windshield still sitting in the parking lot, wondering how far of a walk it would be to her house from here.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">"You're being unreasonably nice to me, you know," Levi muttered, now getting ready to pull out of the parking space.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It had been a privilege, certainly, and he had sure proved to the world that he did not deserve such a privilege as being with Ellie for the rest of his life. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>(That would be going to sauve-as-shit surgeon/hot-as-fuck husband material/Theo.)</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> He thought of the easel perched in the corner of his bedroom – untouched for years and years after she had left. It had acquired the status of being an artifact of past-events by now, housed in the museum of his bedroom where his entire history was probably stored half-concealed in his closet. He had never been good at letting go.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
But maybe he should've been relieved that she wasn't going to be stuck with someone like him. Instead, Ellie was going to have a future as a nice blonde family, and that was great, and that was all that he could hope for her, </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>and she was going to be happy...</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">He was only a giant sack of volatile materials: unstable at best, explosively consumed at random intervals, and emotionally unreliable most of the time. He was not a dependable person, and it was a whole lot better to trust in being struck by lightning on a sky-blue day than it would be to place trust in him. After all, lightning hadn't fucking shot out of nowhere and ruined everything yet. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>But he had.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Of course, this was all hypothetically-speaking still. Kind of. Not really.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"I could go with you...if that would help?"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"I would laugh right now – because that's your best joke so far – but I'm not quite in the mood," Levi answered without much thought. But apparently Anna wasn't joking, and that bit of realization brought his world into the </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>second standstill</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> of the day – all within ten minutes time of sitting in a parking lot on a fine Monday evening. It was one second of a dropped-jaw silence that passed, before his head started rapidly spitting out half-completed thoughts.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Uh, no – I mean why would you want to go? Not that I want to go alone, but are you sure you want to come? Like, it's not going to help or anything, but Cil didn't want to come anyways – but it's kind of fucked up how you willingly want to be hugely uncomfortable for six hours – </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>are you positive you want to come?</i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> Not that I'm saying yes, not that I'm saying no: I'm mostly just checking your sanity here." But maybe it wasn't so crazy. He had been planning to drag his sister along, so guest space wasn't an issue. Besides, Priscilla was going to be more than happy to free up a Friday...What the hell, he couldn't believe he was even considering it.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
"Umm. Are you absolutely sure you want to..?</span></span><br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">((I'm going to time skip to the day of the wedding! Hope that's okay.))<br>
<br>
<br>
It was late morning and Anna was sitting in her apartment, looking at a cracked and dirty mirror. Her stomach was turning in knots and she couldn't help but feel nervous about the event of the day. It was Levi's ex-girlfriends wedding, which he'd seemed to broken up about that she'd wanted to at least try and ease his suffering. She sighed as she put the last bobby pin in her hair, it was done up in soft curls, some falling down to frame her face. She'd pulled out her best dress for the occasion, not as nice as it could have been but it was nice. It was a light pink color, it hugged her chest, and hips perfectly and flowed down to about the middle of her calf. The color of it made her shining red locks stand out, her eyes like glowing embers from the fire place. Anna bell looked herself over, then closed her eyes for a moment. <i>Just doing this much make me exhausted she thought,</i> hoping that this wouldn't affect her during the day. It would have been a travesty if she were to have an attack at a stranger's wedding.<br>
<br>
<br>
Standing up finally, Anna glanced at the time, it was almost noon and the wedding would be starting in a few hours, though of course that would only be the ceremony, there was no telling just how long the whole event would last. Though, she guessed that Levi wasn't going to stick around too long if he even made it through the nuptials. Shaking her head at the thought, Anna walked over and pick up a bottle of perfume carefully spritzing it on either side of her neck and her wrists. It had been such a long time since she'd ever taken the time and energy to put herself together this way. A small smile crept to her lips, this was going to be so much better than sitting home alone. But not only would it pass the time, she'd be able to be there for a friend if he needed her to be.<br>
<br>
<br>
The final touch was a thin shawl that draped around her shoulders and then Anna was out the door. She slowly walked down her steps not wanting to slip in her heels, and made it out to the curb. A man who was driving by stuck his head out the window and whistled at her. Her face flushed as she stood and waited for Levi to come get her. She was sure that he'd make a comment on her lack of better appearance, but all she could do was grin and bare it. She knew that Levi was having a hard time today especially, so she wasn't going to give him any snide remarks or retorts.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It was a very nice day out, still warm for mid-September; the sky was a brilliant shade of blue, cloudless and clear. He could see autumn creeping in through the veins of leaves, the foliage turning fire shades as days passed on. And so, Levi supposed that this was one way the universe was telling him that this wedding was going to go devastatingly well – nevermind the fact the  two people in question were madly in love, so the course of their espousal wasn't very dependent upon the weather.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
He had never been very superstitious until it suited him, making wishful deals with a god he didn't quite believe in. But that was a whole other load of shit he didn't want to think about right now.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
The gift was wrapped nicely in the backseat, and he was dressed nicely in a suit (Armani, if that mattered. And yeah, it usually did fucking matter where he was from), with his normally wavy-ass hair combed neat. If he was dying on the inside, at least he could do it in expensive clothes and a plastered-on smile. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>No one would notice any difference that way. </i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">And it was funny how he swore he had been over Ellie, promised that they were friends, actually met Theo that one time between grins and gritted teeth, and accepted the wedding invitation without too much thought.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
It was funny how entirely wrong he had been, how much of a liar he was now, how he had always wanted his third chance in guilt-eaten secret.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
Well he was going to have Anna with him – not that he could remember why he had said yes to her offer at all. He knew he was setting up his pity party tonight, but that usually included Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam and not another actual human being. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i>Whatever. </i></span></span><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It was too fucking late now to change his mind. And maybe it was better to go with someone who didn't know he deserved this pain, who would give him a whole lot of unwarranted sympathy.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
After turning left into the street, he pulled up beside Anna who was standing outside the front steps, and unlocked the car door for her. She was very pretty in her pink dress, her hair done in curls. And after a moment's pause, he looked at her carefully and said "You look...nice." Which was about as good as a compliment Levi could muster up in the moment. </span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Anna smiled when Levi pulled up, it was going to be a hard day for him and she knew it. She would t have offered if she didn't think he really needed it. It had surprised her that he even was letting her go, but he was here picking her up to go to a wedding that he clearly was putting on a brave face for. She kept her smile though and slipped into the seat beside him. "You look nice, too" Anna replied happy to except the half feigned compliment. It was probably the nicest thing he'd ever really said to her, and she didn't take it lightly coming from him. She looked Levi over then, he did look nice, very nice actually. Before she was caught staring she looked out her window and kept her mouth shut. If he didn't want to talk she wouldn't bug him with the sound of her voice. Silently she smoothed her dress out and tucked away a miss placed curl, this was the prettiest she'd felt in a long, long time and she wondered if Levi would be proud to have her there with him.<br>
<br>
<br>
They drove in silence for a long time, before she looked over at Levi with a slight frown, "if at any point you want me to go..." She said looking back out her window, "... Just let me know," she was a poor sickly woman, it wouldn't surprise her if Levi decided at some point during the wedding that she was embarrassing to have following him around. Her cheeks flushed slightly but she kept her face angled toward her window so that he wouldn't see. She didn't expect an answer from him and that was fine she just wanted to make sure he was comfortable and as happy as possible during this difficult time that was watched someone you cared for or maybe even loved get married to someone else.</div>
