Admiring the Light

Ep 39

"Alex?" Natalie looked over into the storage room, to find that her friend had leaned herself up against a wall.

"I don't wanna FUCKING SEE YOU."

"Alex- Alex, I'm not- I'm sorry-"

"THEN WHY'D YOU FUCKING DO THAT?"

"Alexandra, I'm sorry, that was my fault-" She reached a hand out, but pulled it away before Alex could slap it.

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT."

"Do you... I..."

"GO AWAY."

"Ally, you're smart and you shouldn't-"

Natalie watched her face contort as she shouted again, "WHAT, THEN WHY DID YOU DO THAT??"

"I love her, Ally- she just- she hyperfixates on a detail and she-"

"SHE WHAT?? WHAT MORE ARE YOU GONNA FUCKING SAY??"

"She gets things in her head and can't let them go-"

"OH, OH SO HER PROBLEMS MATTER, AND I DON'T?"

"It's not a problem... Ally, please just try and breathe here."

"FUCK YOU. GO AWAY."

"Ally-"

"I'M NOT JUST GONNA BEND OVER TO YOU, RACIST FUCKS."

"Stop shouting at me. I'm trying to settle this calmly, and you're doing all the fighting. Maybe instead of calling me a monster, you could actually think past your anger for a minute."

"YOU'RE ONLY SORRY NOW THAT THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE-"

"Letting you two brawl it out wasn't going to-"

"YOU'RE A FUCKIN' PEOPLE PLEASER, ALL YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IS PATHETICALLY DIFFUSE SITUATIONS."

Natalie was already walking away, she knew her own limits and she wasn't going to try and settle this conflict. "See ya! You know where to find me!"

"GOOD, SEE YA! OH NO, WHAT A TRAGIC LOSS!"

...

With a sigh, she trudged up to her truck, not even glancing at Lola yet. "You know what's up."

"What, are you gonna scold me?" Lola whipped around, her blonde tuft messy with strands flying.

"I understand that you're angry, but you can't just do that."

"Who else would have pot candy in the back of your fucking truck?"

"I don't know, but let's think about this."

"Are you implying- ugh..."

Natalie breathed in with her stomach, letting the air out of her nose slowly. "Stop. Let's think about this together. Ally didn't do it, so who did?"

"HOW ARE YOU SO- LIKE-"

"Just thinking logically about this."

"Alright, so explain to me. MY GOD..."

"I load a lot of stuff in the backseats, it could've been picked up from anywhere."

"That's not-"

"Could've just been picked up with my bag off the floor and tossed in the back."

"That's a ridiculous explanation."

"I mean... maybe Guinevere...? But-"
