    vincent's eyes narrowed as he sized this old man up. and by old man he was at least nearly 50 years old, vincent thought. he chuckled.

    'yeah. i have a wife at home. in fact we're having our first child in a few months. you got any kids?'

    vincent watched as the man walked out into the street.

    'fucker'

    vincent muttered it only loud enough for himself to hear. he downed the rest of his beer and ordered another.

    the beer fills his mouth and cools his throat, leaving only a bitter trail in its wake. his thoughts splinter as clarity tries to append the darkness of his spitefull construct. deep down he sees the coward, but the self eluds the light swallowed by the self.
  • Just get the fuck out of my bar asshole.

    anna was thinking about davey as she approached her building. she just didn't understand where he was coming from. he was the one that left her. maybe it was the right thing to do. though it didn't feel like it at the time. but she was too tired really to give a damn. and now she was with arlo, he messes with her saying that he loved her. then why did he leave and what good would it do now telling her. why doesn't he just go find someone else. hell he's good looking and talented enough. at least anna always thought so. but of course his biggest appeal to anna was that he let her to do as she pleased. looking up anna saw freya waiting for her on the stoop. she shook her head.you have got to be kidding me

    anna hesitated and then continued towards her sister.

    'what do you want freya. i can't imagine you've got anything to say to me that i'd be even remotely interested in hearing.'

    pulling her keys fron her pocket, anna tried to brush past freya.
    hear my name

  • I've made a mistake Anna. I fear that,..that. Well I fear he might come here. I'm sorry Anna.

    Freya stood there with tears in here eyes. Barely speaking loud enough to hear as if the facts would become less true if she whispered.

    I'm sorry, I really am it just felt, she paused for a second unwilling to admit, it felt like the right thing at the time. He seemed genuinely happy to learn about, again she didn’t finish her sentence straight away, she looked down and than spoke with a voice that made clear she was fighting to keep the tears from rolling, she sighed and took a deep breath, about the baby.
    I’m so sorry.

    anna rolled her eyes.

    'i don't care what you thought freya. you've always taken vincent's side and it never mattered what he did or what you knew him capable of. you didn't care enough about me cause you thought i was too much trouble, you thought that whatever i got i somehow deserved. well thanks for that. and now ...now that you've finally worked out that your husband is a scum sucking lowlife you come to me and tell me you're sorry. sorry for what exactly? i doubt you even know the damage you've done'

    anna let out a sigh

    'i don't want you around me anymore, do you understand freya?'

    anna didn't wait for a response, she opened her building's front door and slipped inside, leaving her sister crying on the stoop.

    'she sure is. that's why i'm sitting out here like the fool that i am.'

    freya looked at arlo.

    'god arlo i really blew it with anna. she's right. i always take vincent's side over hers. and i shouldn't, she's family. you know sometimes i hate her for the things she does and i know she's sick but it doesn't matter. she does what she wants and i can't do anything i want. i always fuck it up.'

    freya shook her head.

    'i sound like a petulant child.'

  • You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, seems like it there are enough other people to do that for you. Do you have a place to stay tonight?

    before freya could answer, they heard a voice behind them.

    'ARLO'

    both freya and arlo looked up to see anna satnding on the top step with an armful of stuff. anna dumped it on her sister's lap.

    'this is all yours. now get out of here freya, i don't ever want you to come around here again. you got that.'

    then anna looked challengingly at arlo.

    'you coming arlo?'

  • Arlo looked uneasy with the situation, looking from Anna to Freya and back. He shuck his head and said goodbye before climbing the stairs.

    as arlo shut the door behind him, anna spun around to confront him.

    'and i don't want to hear any hard luck stories about my sister from you. got it?'

  • Do you want me to go? He said it with a smile to let her know he wasn't impressed.
    I didn't came over to get in the middle of this, so I hope you'll be able to tone it down a few notches.

    'then tell me. why did you come over?'

    as anna stepped closer to him, arlo realised that he had to be careful how he was going to play this; a wrong step and anna could easily freak out on him.

    'oh honey. you know it's not words i want to be holding against you.'

    anna's mood swings fascinated arlo. he couldn't keep up sometimes. and this was one of those times. he wanted to talk about his brother and her sister and anna didn't seem to want to do any talking at all. and yet at his place earlier, when he went to touch her she shied away from him. and now here she was not even trying to be the least bit subtle.
    hear my name

    'well how did you want to start the conversation arlo? you know if you don't just come out and say stuff and choose to dither, then i'm not gonna wait for you to start whatever it is you have to say.'

    then look on arlo's face told me he was frustrated with me and with dex. i took his hand leading him tot he sofa.

    'come on, tell me what's going on.'

    'if you come over to the sofa then you will be properly through the door won't you?'

    i looked his hand as i held it in mine and gently stroked the fingers.

    'you know you have the nicest hands.'

    i wanted to lean in and kiss him but i could see whatever was going on with dex was weighing on him.

    'come on. come and sit down with me.'
