Oh Wow, The One Time You Told Her No...and It Took You What? Five Minutes To Remember That One Time

❝ Oh wow, the one time you told her no...and it took you what? Five minutes to remember that one time ? ❞ Rafe raises his brow to Topper and his voice gets high pitched. Rafe can tell that he's getting under Top's skin with this but he's just spitting the facts. ❝ She's going to leave you, dude. It's what she does. ❞

Sarah tells Wheezie and Wheezie tells Rafe. Great. Fantastic. WONDERFUL. Dear God, he hates this. "For fuck's sake. . ." He breathes in and then slowly exhales his annoyance. Is nothing sacred?

"One time? Okay, yeah, one time. Remember that day she ended up hurting her arm and she wanted to go to a party anyway? I told her no and I stayed in with her." That. . . is not helping his case. "A smotherer? Are you frickin' - - -." He cuts himself off. "Really?" Top's voice gets higher pitched and he's trying so hard not to get emotional about this, but what?

𝖲𝗁𝖾 𝗋𝖾𝗍𝗈𝗋𝗍𝗌 𝗍𝗈 𝖼𝖺𝗅𝗅𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗁𝗂𝗆 𝗌𝖾𝗅𝖿𝗂𝗌𝗁 ; but he'd argue that anything he's ever done has been for Ward, for the family but she's too blind to see it just like their dad is far too blind to see it. That's not surprising considering how she and Ward are so close. And sure, he's guilty of hurting people physically -- her especially and he regrets that. And yet when it's brought up like a weapon he will act otherwise.

❝ Why don't you run and go tell daddy, it's what you're good at isn't it? ❞

all that is given in response is a roll of her eyes. sure she's made some mistakes in the past. dumb decisions in the heat of the moment that end up hurting people and speaking ill on her character. but she does love topper.

"you know it seems very pot calling the kettle black, rafe. you're the most selfish person i know. i at least don't physically hurt people when i don't get my way."

Hatred? Anger? Uncertainty? Somehow a mix of all of those and yet not for her -- just for the company she decided she's going to keep. She's a kook trying to parade around like a pogue. She's not the first, Kie did the same thing, even Sarah is dipping her toes into it.

What is it about them, he wonders, that's willing to turn the ones with the most potential into ❛ love struck ❜ idiots ? Willing to give up everything good for some guy who hasn't a penny to their name. What do they have to even offer them except a life of misery and struggles ?

It baffles him. But he doesn't question it ; question her. Not now. Not yet.

❝ Aw, it's like you're trying to hurt my feelings. ❞ he rolls his eyes. ❝ You know this would be over sooner if you shut. up. ❞

❝ But do you even know what you said because I can't make heads or tails of that shit. Remind me to put the good shit on the top shelf where you can't reach it. ❞

❝ ... How much did you smoke, Junie? ❞

I swear he won't always be a dick, but the moment I gave him his own space this bitch really said "chaos." And I'm just along for the ride...
