FIVE: Silence

[HANNA]

"I don't know if you're being sarcastic or you actually want us here." Heather said, sitting across from Quinn. "It's hard to tell with you."

"I've been told." Quinn said. "But I do love company, even if it's yours."

"I don't know if that's a compliment but I'll take it as one because I don't appreciate your sarcasm." Heather retorted, crossing her arms over her chest,

"I speak lots of nonsense." Quinn said. "With lots of sarcasm. Sometimes I don't even listen to me."

"That says a lot." Uma said. "Coming from you. You're always spouting nonsense."

"That I am Uma." Quinn said. "I'll own up to that. I don't really care for what I say, I just say what comes to mind. Look how far that's taken me."

"So far." Heather said with sarcasm. "It totally has."

"See I know you're being sarcastic." Quinn said. "You should learn when I'm being sarcastic."

"That seems like too much work." Heather said. "I'll pass lass."

"Aww you rhymed." Quinn cooed. "How cute."

"I don't judge the way you talk." Heather said. "Don't judge how I talk."

"I like rhymes." Quinn said. "Take it as a compliment Heather."

"When it's coming from you?" Heather said, raising an eyebrow. "I'd much rather not believe what's coming out of your mouth. You're compliments don't mean anything to me."

"Well I guess I won't waste them on you anymore." Quinn said. "Ingrate."

"I'm not an ingrate." Heather said.

"Oh look," Uma said. "You've ended your issues with Sam so you took them to Heather."

"She ended her rivalry with Sam?" Hanna asked, placing a hand on Quinn's forehead. "Are we sure she's okay?"

"She's fine." Helia said. "Quinn's just being Quinn. She surprised us all."

"Oh look." Quinn said. "It's Helia! Long time no see hun! Six months is too long. How have you been?"

"Way to change the subject." Heather muttered, as Quinn stomped on her foot from under the table sending her a smile.

"Fine." Helia said, sarcastically. "Love seeing people die everyday it is so fucking entertaining. How have you been?"

"Oh the same really." Quinn said. "I tried to change but I got bored and became myself again,"

"I'll just pretended I know what that means." Helia said, tilting her head to the side.

"She never makes any sense." Hanna pointed out. "I thought we figured that out ages ago."

"We did." Heather said. "But she still surprises us with her nonsense."

"Well yes what else is she suppose to say?" Chelsea asked. "We are meant to not make sense. That's all we ever do."

"It is."Heather said. "It gets rather boring after awhile."

"No it doesn't." Quinn said. "It gets more interesting the more nonsense we speak."

"See you're speaking nonsense right now." Uma sis's, handing Heather, Hanna and Helia trays. "You're always spouting nonsense."

"I try." Quinn said smiling, as Sam's gaze broke from the TV, flipping the watch in her pocket. It was almost midnight. How time had passed by so fast she had no idea.

"Bye." Sam said, slipping out of Harry's grip, and slipping out of her seat, making her way toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Harry called.

"Nowhere of your concern." Sam said, stepping out of the doors.

Helia laughed at Harry's expression though it hardened into a glare.

"What are you laughing at?" Harry asked which only caused Helia to laugh even more. It didn't seem to help Harry's already sour mood.

"How many times has she turned you down today Har?" Helia asked.

"A few times." Harry said. "She'll take me back eventually."

"If I were her." Helia said. "I wouldn't. You're not good enough for her. My dear Sam deserves so much better than you."

"Shut up Helia." Harry said as he stared off into the distance, glaring at Helia every few moments.

"You hit a nerve Helia." Heather said as she giggled. "You pushed his buttons to far."

"Someone needs to put you in your place." Quinn said, "Learn from your mistakes Hook."

"You're one of my mistakes." Harry said.

"Ouch." Quinn said. "That hurt a lot more than it should've."

"Quinn has a fucking heart?" Hanna said. "Someone needs to get her a doctor. She's doing too many things that are out of character."

"Leave me the fuck alone Hanna." Quinn said. "Can't you see I'm not in the mood."

"Oh shit Harry." Helia said. "I think you pushed her buttons too far."

"Why should I care?" Harry said.

"You can't pin the blame all on her." Hanna said. "It's your fault too. Last I checked."

"Thank you Hanna." Quinn said "It warms my heart that some people still care."

"Weren't you just feeling insulted by her?" Helia asked. "Your mood changes too quickly."

"No." Quinn said. "I'm still very much hurt by the words Harry Hook has used against me. Last I checked your the one who always ruins things between you and Sam."

Harry tried to make an argument about how that wasn't true, but it seemed a lost cause.

"See?" Quinn asked. "You know I'm right."

Harry rolled his eyes and pouted his annoyance away.

"You shut him up." Helia said. "I enjoy the silence."

Hanna twiddled with her thumbs as they enjoyed their moment of silence, which hadn't lasted long. Chelsea had decided to open her mouth.

"It's too quiet." Chelsea said. "I don't like it."

"You ruined the silence." Helia muttered, though she didn't sound very much annoyed.

"We don't enjoy silence here. Silence is unnecessary." Chelsea said.

"Sometimes silence is needed." Hanna said.

"But I don't enjoy silence." Chelsea argued.

"You most certainly don't." Uma said. "You're always bouncing off the walls."

"It's fun." Chelsea said. "You guys should try it sometime."

"No thanks." Uma said, flipping her hair over her shoulder and carrying their empty trays.

"Whatever floats your boat." Chelsea said with a shrug, as they all rolled their eyes in annoyance. "What?"

"Your irritating." Helia said. "Please shut up."

"I do what I want." Chelsea said, jutting her chin out. "You should try it sometime."
