The Parlor (1)

O.o
No. I haven't seen him...
Why, Scorp??
What's going on??

*giggles*

Sorry, Love. I didn't mean to worry you..

I'm just.. Doing it again *looks around*

You know.. That thing.

I heard what you *fake cough* said as I came in the door

*skips in*
Hello mummy and daddy!
Kale wanted to see the offspring.

Oh... *thinks*

*realizes* Oh! Ok...

Hi Daniella!! Kale!!

^_^
That's right, you weren't here Kale!!
*holds Pandora out carefully*
*smiles*

*comes over to see Pandora better*
Oh, isn't she a beauty!
Looks just like you, Rizz!!

You're going to be a great mom.

Thank you Kale!!

*looks at door*
*tenses*
*locks eyes with Scorp*

*frowns*
*thinks* Why is she back?

*wakes up at knocking*
*glances around grouchily*
*grumbles*
I suppose I'll get it, then.
*gets up and opens door*

*Flinches at door opening*
Angelo.
*disarms self and places knifes at feet*
Tell them I'm unarmed please.
I mean no harm

-_-'


We can hear you just fine, Monica.

Atleast all of us in the parlor can.

---

I'm surprised you came back.. Atleast so soon.

*gets up and goes to stand behind Scorp in a blur of speed, still carefully holding Pandora*
*glares at Monica with hard, cold eyes, face blank*

*thinks* Why... ?

*squints*
*grunts*
*slams door*
*mutters*
And to think I could've been sleeping.

*sits down on couch in Rizzo's place*
*thinks* I wonder what happened while I was gone....
Apparently nothing good.

*says nothing aloud, deciding to watch and wait*

*laughs a little at Angelo's responce to Monica*

Well that was easy.

Scorpius I know you can hear me.
I know that all of you hate me.
I get that and I'm sorrry.
But I came back to say I'm giving up.
I'm done.

I'm sorry.

*turns to leave*

*wakes up*
*takes in everyone*
*stretches*
Whats up?!
*hears Monica*
*eyes narrow*
Someone let her in.

*purses lips but doesn't move or say anything*

Thinks* Scorp, if you can hear my thoughts... This isn't a good idea...
She shouldn't have come back.

*turns and looks and Rizzo*
*worried look on face*

I have no idea how I'm doing that.

I'm not going to hurt her this time..
If it's going to happen, someone else can do it.

*sighs*
*opens door*
Only because I hate sleeping on the couch.

*shrugs shoulders, then shakes head*
*thinking*
That's not what I mean... hurting her...

I haven't trusted her for a while...
And the whole thing with Jumpy... I'm just not sure how this is going to fold out...
And you know me.
The overprotective bodyguard.

*coughs awkwardly*
>.>

*thinks*
I miss everything.

*grimaces*
*looks at Monica*
Well.
Talk, or have you lost that ability along with my trust?

I didn't catch all of that, Love, but I understand what you mean.


*laughs at Angelo, Daniella, and Kale*

*nods*

*moves a bit closer to him, and rocks Pandora gently*

I don't have anyones trust here.
At least not anymore.

But I came back to say I'm giving up.
I'm sick and tired of what I've become and I'm giving up.

*takes in shaky breath*
I came back to ask for help.
I'm starting over and I don't know how to.
And I'm scared.

*glowers*
You should be, dammit.
*jaw clenches*
