"No, I didn't really want to hear that," I agree, closing my eyes again. "But at least it was honest, I guess."

"Didn't think so.." I said letting out a small breath before shrugging. "Yeah.. you're being honest to me.. so might as well return the favor.."

"Am I really doing you much of a favor though?" I ask, then shake my head again. "By rights, maybe I should just lie to you."

"Yes," I told her, not skipping a beat in answering her first question. I shook my head faintly, "Please don't start lying to me, Arden. I don't care anymore, I just want a straight answer." I added, slightly slowly as I spoke. I wanted the truth.. I didn't care if it hurt me.. I just didn't want to be lied to.

I nod, sighing faintly. "Just in theory anyway. I'm really a terrible liar, in case you've never noticed."

I shrugged faintly. "I've noticed it a bit.. yeah." I commented letting out a small sigh too. "But if you haven't noticed, I don't always quite get the picture."

I nod, then frown faintly and shake my head to indicate I don't know what he means there.

"I can be a bit thick and I might not even notice if you're lying.." I said to explain a bit further giving a small shrug. "Or I'll just write it off as not getting enough sleep."

"Ah," I nod, then shrug. "I really don't lie very often though. And more often than not wind up correcting it." I bite my lip then, pausing. "Which is why I'll more than likely wind up letting Logan know about this."

I nodded slightly, fixing my eyes on the floor as she spoke. I should've known that was coming. "Alright." I said after a moment. Next time you see me I might be on life support.. or in a coffin, but sure. That's fine. "Understandable.."

"I'm sorry," I say again, shaking my head. "Just... I can't keep secrets; I'll try because I don't want to hurt him any more than I want to get you killed but... no promises so just be careful."

"S'fine." I muttered, shaking my head faintly. "I know it's hard to stay quiet about something things like this." I would know since I had to tell Riyann the same thing. "Only if you be careful to."

I frown at him slightly, because it hadn't even occurred to me I might need to be careful... but then again he's right. I shrug anyway. "I'll be fine."

"Okay..." I said looking back up to her even though I wasn't sure if I believed it. I knew he loved her, but that didn't mean he wouldn't snap or something.

Maybe, I add silently. And if not then I deserve it anyway.

"Just don't tell him it your fault." I said with a sigh a moment later. "It was mine."

Post by Arden Patricks on Jan 18, 2009 16:32:22 GMT
"Now there's a good idea, when he's much more likely to actually kill you than he is me." I shake my head. "Besides, it was my fault."

Post by Riley Pearson on Jan 18, 2009 16:34:02 GMT
I shrugged. She did have a pretty good point there. "I don't want him to do anything to you. And I'd love to hear how it was your fault, because I'm just not seeing it."

"I... he won't do anything." I shake my head again, not entirely sure of that myself. "He's not going to kill me, anyway. But I just... let it happen. I've pretty much spent this whole time just waiting for you to kiss me, knowing in the back of my head it probably would happen and not doing anything to stop it."

"... Okay.." I said quietly again, trying to believe that, but still finding it a bit difficult to think he wasn't going to do anything. "Oh." I said eventually at her explanation. So I guess it was a bit of her hurt fault too if she knew I wanted to.. and if she knew that I was probably going to do it. Kind of.. not the nicest thing to do to someone if you're just going to reject them afterwards.

"I'm sorry," I say for about the dozenth time. "I shouldn't be so fickle."

"Arden you can stop apologizing now.." I said shaking my head a little bit. "Like I said, it's not your fault.. It happens.. I mean, I've done it to you too."

"What, messed with my head?" I ask, before I remember that he kind of did and that's why I went to Canada. Right, forgot about that.

"Yeah.. I did.." I said with a small nod looking up to her again. "A while back when I couldn't make up my fucking mind." I added a moment or two later. I think I was starting to get a bit upset and I wasn't sure why cos it really made no sense to me.

It's fairly unusual that Riley swears, so I take that as a sign he's angry, and wonder if he's angry at me. Not that he wouldn't have cause, but it is kind of abrupt. I think I'll just not say anything then.

I shook my head. "Sorry.. just still sort of frustrating is all." I said after a moment. "Not.. mad at you or anything.. Think I've just been hanging out with Lil too much. You'd be surprised but she has quite a mouth on her."

I smile faintly at that, then shake my head. "Fine, understandable, perfectly all right. And you have every right to be mad at me."

I look up to her with a faint and slightly amused smile at all of the confirmation words she used. "Good.. and to be honest.. I'm a little.. upset." I said a bit slowly with a faint shrug.

"Good," I nod, then pause. "Well... not good, but... I don't know."

Post by Riley Pearson on Jan 19, 2009 1:49:33 GMT
I shrugged faintly, "It's really not too much.. I think I'm more of just frustrated with myself."
