I really don't know why I'm here right now. For some reason I feel like I should take on revenge for Shelby seeing as this is the man that broke her heart and thanks to Logan I know how that feels now; rejection.
I knock on the door with a simple purple dress and a black coat to cover it. I check the door after a few seconds seeing as lately doors I've been to have been unlocked. Unfortunately, he's one of the smart ones and actually has the door locked.
"Fitzy... I need to talk to you. Please." I say in my closest impression of Shelby I could, hoping that would make him open the door. On the other hand, why would he? After all, he just broke her heart and probably doesn't want to speak to her.

Lacey has left me on my own with Melody for the evening, for the first time since she moved in. Luckily the small one is being fairly quiet and cooperative, though, like usual, so I just get to brood about the fact that the woman I possibly care about more than as just a friend has gone on a bloody date, and how extremely inconsiderate of her that is considering the potential for awkwardness that it entails.
In short, it's nice that my daughter is such a not-unpleasant child to take care of, but it would b a relief to have some sort of distraction and that's why I answer the door as quickly as I do. And then shake my head because that's not the distraction I meant.
"You again. What the fuck are you doing here?"
Not a very cordial welcome for the person who was my best friend... but I really don't feel like getting slapped today or told how mean I am.

"Again? I'm not Shelby." I say raising an eyebrow at him. "I wish to speak to you about how poorly you've treated her is all." I add before crossing my arms. "So may I come in or do I have to push you out of the way love?"

I raise my eyebrows at what is probably the strangest statement I've ever heard her make, before it clicks and I remember that she's got an alter ego. Funny how I never have met her before no.
"Be my guest," I shrug, stepping back to let her in - and remembering belatedly that Melody is here and the woman is psychotic from all I've ever heard... but hopefully that's just excessive worrying.

I look around and shrug at how bare it is. It almost seems that him and his sister have a lot in common based on furniture arrangements. "So we haven't met technically right? Well, I'm Rubalyn, the part of Shelby that isn't all sweet and kind." I say looking around again before turning to face him, looking Fitzy up and down. "I know now that she doesn't love you based on your looks, no offense."

"None taken," I shrug, a little bemused. "And I think I've met plenty of Shelby that isn't all sweet and kind, so don't go feeling too unique there."

I nod before leaning on the wall and looking back at him. "Oh really? If it involves what you did to break her heart then I don't blame her really for acting that way. You do know the reason why I'm even here and she's not don't you? What causes it I mean?"

"You're insane?" I shrug. "And by 'you' I mean both of you since you're more or less one person?"

"Um. No." I say shaking my head. "We're stuck as one person, but we both are distinguishly different love. She gives up control when something drastic happens, like say someone breaking her heart to the point of depression perhaps? Do you know anyone that might have done that lately?" I ask with a tilt of my head. "It's your fault love."

I brush that off, shaking my head. "Sure it is, and I did it deliberately. Is that why you're here?"

"For one reason yes. I want to know why though. Why you played with her heart when you know how much she needs to be protected and loved by a man no matter how pathetic it seems." I say placing my hands on my hips. "Do you even have some sort of feelings for her if she didn't keep coming over here asking these very same questions?'

"I didn't play with anything," I argue, shaking my head. "I told her how I felt; never made any claim that it was anything else, or more than that. Then all of a sudden she's asking if I love her and I was honest in telling her no. Playing with her heart would be if I lied."
It's a little bit odd to be talking about Shelby like this in third person when it appears as though she's standing right in front of me... but I can play along.

"You don't believe there's a real difference in us do you?" I ask looking at him with a faint smirk now. "Still. You broke her heart and if I remember right she feels like you're not even her best friend anymore, that seems like playing with her heart Fitzy." I add before walking over to him and let a hand travel lightly over his chest. "I see that your ex has gone on a date... hurts doesn't it? But does it hurt as much as Shelby never coming back?'

"I'll accept that there's a difference, even if I don't see it," I shrug, pulling away from her touch. "Actually, I'm in kind of a coldhearted, apathetic state right now, so no. Not really."
There is a small glimmer of what might be called hurt, I suppose, but that's it. I don't really feel much of anything right now.

"And why is that love? Why the coldhearted apathetic state?" I ask before I trail off and stare at him. "You are a jerk aren't you? She's given up because of you on everything and you don't even care?"

"Couldn't really tell you," I shrug. "It's just how I am. Don't think it makes me a jerk."

Ruby just laughs her head at him. "Slytherin. I think it's funny how she falls for the snakes... Were you always like this towards her cause it's starting to make me wonder why she even put up with your nonsense, you two seem rather opposite."

I laugh slightly in return, mostly at the opposites bit. "You know, I'm almost starting to like you more than her. At least you have some sense. I have no idea why she puts up with me... even if we are more similar than you seem to think."

"Well thank you." I say with a slight nod of my head before smiling at him. "I'm sure she does too. Just when she's in love it goes out the window. How are you two similiar?"

((Can't be bothered to switch.))
"Well, it's not like she's some angel, as you seem to be implying," I shrug. "Honestly, I'm really having trouble telling you apart from her."

"Oh I'm not implying that as well. Just when she's in love she goes nuts... literally." I say shaking my head until his last comment. "Trust me I'm not acting like myself at all right now. Usually I'm out to ruin her life or create havoc. For instance, I made out with Logan Andrews recently and slept with her ex-husband's brother just out of pure spite."

"Impressive," I say dryly, raising my eyebrows, and trying not to let the sudden flare of anger at the mention of Logan show on my face or in my voice. Depending on how recently she means... hell, either way I'd like to kill him.

"Thank you, after all we have a complicated past of fighting together during the war. I can just look at him and ask, and he kisses me. Quite simple really." I say crossing my arms over my chest. "Something the matter or are you realizing why everyone likes Shelby more, even if she's so annoying sometimes? Too bad she's not coming back."

"Fuck off," I mutter absently as kind of a general response. I think I really am going to kill him now... or not, and just hope it teaches her a lesson. But killing him would be more entertaining.

"Awww. So much for you liking me more than her. I'm only telling you the truth love." I say before walking over to him with a faint frown on my lips. "So I don't think it would too smart to kill him though hun. You'll have to get through me."

And Arden. Probably. And Logan himself.
"So the prick has a bodyguard now?" I ask, raising my eyebrows. "Ah, well that's exactly what he needs. You two probably deserve each other."

"More of someone who cares for him." I say tilting my head slightly to the side. "About time someone realized this fact. Now if you would gladly tell Arden this, I would appreciate it."

I laugh a bit at that, honestly amused. "Ah, if only she would listen to me where he's concerned. And if only letting you have your way didn't mean... well, honestly, Shelby is probably better off dead. Unless she's stuck in your head right now, screaming to get out... it's probably much better to let you take over her life."
This probably would seem like a cruel statement to most... but I'm a pretty strong believer in euthanasia for the suffering. And Shelby never seems to really be okay with her life anyway.

Ruby stares at him before grasping her temples lightly. "Don't say that. Actually you're right. She can hear everything you're saying..." I mumble before shaking my head. "You might want to say something that when she mostly comes back won't come and try to kill you."

I eye her for a minute before deciding she's probably serious... and in that case I'd quite like to kill her. Or Shelby. Either one, really.
"In that case, I don't suppose you know of any way that either one of you can cease to exist? Because... don't get me wrong, if I thought that she'd be happy having her life back, you'd be the one I'd want gone. But even... even if I suddenly realized or decided... she'd just be a whore in another couple months, get her heart broken by that guy and then invite you back. So in that case... that's why I think she'd be better off not existing."
