Declan | Cal
"Get your ass up we're going to Leno's."
"I'm not hungry."
"You're always hungry. Now get off that video game before I unplug it."
"..."
"Don't sigh and look at me like a rebellious teenager."
"Cal, I really just want to be alone right now."
"You've been alone for almost two weeks. You've barely left the house except to work."
"Not now Cal."
"..."
"Hey! The hell did you take my headset off for?"
"You're getting off this goddamn Xbox and talking to me. You're my best friend, Declan, and I hate to see you like this. Now get up and get on the fucking bed and talk to me."
"..."
"..."
"I'm sorry."
"Take your time. Start where you want."
"Jo doesn't really like me."
"..."
"..."
"You're bullshitting me."
"I'm not. I saw her with someone else."
"When?"
"When I went to get your medicine. She and a guy I didn't know were flirting by the clinic. I saw it all."
"Certainly it was a misunderstanding. Jo likes you, Declan. Trust me."
"Kind of hard to believe when I saw her canoodling with another guy."
"It's probably isn't what you think. Just let her explain."
"..."
"A shrug? That's what your relationship is worth?"
"It's more than that and you know it, Cal."
"I know. But I'm telling you, Declan, Jo is the one for you. Seeing you two together the other day really gave me good hopes. She's a good one and I can almost promise you that whatever you saw wasn't what you think it was."
"I'll think about it. I just...I just need to be alone."
"Okay. Just don't shut yourself off again. I hate seeing you like that."
"I won't."
