It'd be daft of me to cry (Currently Editing)

Never let me go

First came sadness then came anger

And Juliette was pissed
More than pissed, she was on the verge of killing whoever killed her friend
She just had to find him.

she just didn't know where to start

then came a knock that drew her out of her daze.

💛

Monroe had a fairly good memory of where Nick's house was and god he could smell nick's scent from his car out front, Juliette answered distraught and scornful

"hello?" she asks "who are you?"

What would he say?
What was he supposed to say?
God he should've practiced in the car

but no time for that now

He settled on "I'm Nick's friend" short and sweet not TMI and not too sentimental after all he didn't know what him and nick were, sure they had some drunken nights where things got a bit blurred but that's all, a few drunk mistakes wasn't enough to even consider nick more than a friend. Monroe doesn't know why he's fretting over this on the doorstep of Nick's house but desperate times call for anxiety and paranoia.

"are you now?" she deadpanned not wanting to deal with solicitors she closed the door but Monroe stuck his foot in last minute "wait!" he exclaimed "i am i swear, i can tell you something only a close friend of Nick's would know" he bargained with her but it was more like bargaining with a brick wall because she closed the door on him anyway, though he waited a few more moments before knocking again. this time Juliette answered the door more annoyed than she had been "what?!" she said anger spreading through her "nick has a birth mark" Monroe started holding out a hand like he was trying to calm a wolf "yeah" Juliette said not any calmer than before "on his ass, shaped like big ben" he said as serious as ever and Juliette seemed to calm down a ghost of a smile touching her lips before she realized that he must be here for some of nicks things, "come in" she said after a minute and Monroe hastily walked in taking off his coat.

his scent seems to seep into everything here too, mixed with what he assumes is Juliette's scent it smells strongly of cinnamon and sadness, it tickles his nose and makes his heart ache a but in his chest.

"so what'd you come here for?" she found herself asking him

He takes a deep breath.

" i have information pertaining to Nick's case"

"i was with him last night, he was over at my place having a drink" he thinks back on the memory, "we were sitting down and-and I think I was about to make us dinner but he checked his watch and then he said he had to go because you were making dinner here and then he left" he says slowly, having trouble recalling last night's events like a fog was concealing them within his mind.

This gets her attention

"He said I was making something" she gawked at him

"Yeah......why?" Monroe looks at her

"I can't cook, he never trusts me to cook here" she says biting her lip, she was starting to get antsy, buzzing like a bee with the new information she had, she quickly grabbed her coat and ran out the door inviting Monroe to join her if he'd like.

Monroe follows after, quickly grabbing his car keys as he heads out the door whispering profanities under his breath as he chases after Juliette

"You might want a car?!" He shouts at her making her turn around

"Yeah I think you're right!" She shouts back as she runs back to him

💛

They get into his white beetle and before he could get his key into the ignition Juliette stops him.

"I feel like we should have a plan of attack" she says as Monroe looks at her considering what she said

"Alright but I have to come clean about a few things before hand"
