...Wait so I'm supposed to do what with this?

I guess I leave a message.

Hey, this is Rileyable Riley. Leave a message.

So does that work?




[ooc: Leave a message for her!]

[omittance]

dont recall saying that

[everysecond]

didn't have to. you've been a giant dick.

no offense.

[omittance]

and you've been an absolute princess huh

[everysecond]

nooooo i've been a royal shit

[omittance]

there you go

[everysecond]

and one of my gay dads is royalty so i'm a princess anyway

but you still sucked and i was trying

[omittance]

i dont even wanna know

i dont like kids. i dont like people. deal with it.

[everysecond]

honestly you treat me like marlene did and being here showed me that's bullshit

i know i'm not ellie but i'm a person and i live here too

you don't have to like me but you could not treat me like i'm another throwaway like just about everyone else back home did

[omittance]

you're right. you're not ellie. ellie's different.

the pity party ain't gonna work either.

1/2

[everysecond]

look, i've tried because i know i'm dead and that ellie needs you. i don't like you but you're good for her.

i just wanted to try because you mean something to her and you'll give her a home.

[everysecond]

i cant be there for her and you can.

i fucked up and it's my fault she was bit.

look, i'm going to stop trying. you'll be there for her and one day i'll be gone and you don't have to worry about bothering to include me in things. it's not worth it.

[omittance]

you don't know what the hell you're talking about, kid.

[everysecond]

i know that you'll take care of her

i know she looks up to you

i know you'll keep her safe

i know you care about her no matter how big a dick you've been to me

i know you do your best for her

i know i'm dead

i know i won't be there

what don't i get?

[omittance]

if we go home none of this shit is gonna matter. we're not gonna remember. you're gonna have to save your lectures.

[everysecond]

bullshit

[omittance]

it's true.

[everysecond]

every second matters.

if it didn't you wouldn't do the bbq or get her the dog or allow her to let me live here or bother to talk to me at all.

so. bullshit.

[omittance]

im not saying it doesnt matter. im saying that you telling me to take care of her when we get back? i aint gonna remember. she aint gonna remember being with you. that's how it is. i take care of her because she is my girl and when we get home she is still gonna be my girl.

[everysecond]

see? you're doing what i asked whether you know it or not.

[omittance]

i aint doing it cause you asked. im doing it because shes mine.

[everysecond]

that makes you sound like an asshole. just saying.

anyway, i've tried to get to know you and i quit because you trashed me. to my face. that part took balls but still no respect points.

[omittance]

i never asked for your respect. dont need it.

[everysecond]

this is why i liked tess better. at least she didn't kiss her own ass. she tried to be different from marlene.

just leave me alone okay? at least when we're not talking i can believe someone cares about me.
