@wreckdid
are you kidding ? ( .. ) holy shit. you're not kidding.
sid's gonna be staying the night again, okay ?
having said all that.. how badly did i fuck this up ?
@teenidles- | could be worse. ( it’s hard to say in what ways. he frowns at his little sister, shrugging slightly. ) seems like she’ll forgive you ‘n love you no matter what. ( … ) just don’t take advantage of that.
you can stay here for a few days. keep an eye on ellie, help me in the neverending battle that is making her take care of herself. ( .. ) i have free rooms, is what i'm saying.
MISS THE SMOKE, @wreckdid : dewey. { the interruption is firm enough to give way to exactly what gale's about to say, brows lifted as though to ask what he thinks he's doing. } i'm asking you to stay here. ( .. ) this is the only time i'll say it, but i'm not feeling my best. neither is lou. i ,, i need you here.
@stabreports- | no, no… i couldn’t intrude. ( he wrinkles his nose, awkwardly shoving his hands into his jacket pocket. ) y’got enough going on, even without me in the picture. i’ll figure something out.
going up a few stairs won't hurt the baby, dewey. have some faith.
MISS THE SMOKE, @wreckdid : sweetheart, the guest room is for guests. like juliette, who is also heavily pregnant. { no true exasperation rests behind her tone as she settles against the banister, still despite her (valid) desire to go up to their room. } i'll be fine. she'll be fine. we'll both be just fine, okay ? you can even walk me up there. * "he might as well be the one carrying this baby" i see you ,,
@stabreports- | but we have a perfectly good guest room bed! ( he’s been nesting worse than gale; he might as well be the one carrying this baby. ) i do have faith in you. just not these steps.
it's endearing, how much you care about people.
MISS THE SMOKE, @wreckdid : (endearing). i'm a reporter, deputy. i know how jaded people are. you're a breath of fresh air in comparison. { the reiteration of her compliment is paired with a gentle hand along his arm, resting on his jacket as she looks up to him. } and what did i say before ? please, call me gale.
@stabreports- | endearing, or pathetic. ( he glances down at his hands, shrugging slightly. ) i dunno, ms. weathers. i put my trust in too many people.
the director. ( .. ) fuck. shoulda' seen that one coming.
@filmsstab- | yeah. i guess we should’ve. ( he closes his eyes, laying his head back into the hospital bed. ) i didn’t see the half-brother thing coming, though. ( … ) he’s sid’s and abigail’s.
you need to talk to her, dewey. i saw you in the hospital, you'll regret it if you don't.
@filmsstab- | i just… i don’t know how to. ( he’s fucked up too majorly for him to ever want gale to forgive him. it’s easier to let the silence fill the space between the divorcees, instead of allowing himself to bare his soul for her to see. ) it’s been too long… she’s shown she moved on, anyways.
dew, listen to me: you're stressing yourself out. it's gonna be fine, yeah?
@filmsstab- | you’ve got a daughter too, you know that? you should be just as stressed as me. ( he runs a hand through his hair, sighing out. he feels like a madman, mind racing with the millions of possibilities of what could happen to ellie. ) i don’t know how this keeps happening.
i'm doing okay, daddy. ( .. ) sorry i didn't get her.
WAKE WITH YOUR MEMORY, @wreckdid : but.. { maddie. the name catches in the back of her throat, a new version of pain that she's never quite felt before tearing at the inside of her throat. it's a pain that pushes her to press into her father's touch, eyes wide and seeking some sort of comfort. } who was it ? the bad guy. the one who hurt mama. * never apologize ,, this era of them kills me ,,
@ghostends- | ‘s not your fault, baby. ( he rubs his thumb against ellie-marie’s cheek, smiling sadly. ) okay? we caught the bad guy. mama’s okay now, too. / sorry, scream 4,,
