Passing Through A Screen Door

Barbie Doll. 21. Just your average crazy girl stuck in this asylum.

[emmettestler]

  No, it is not! You are very pretty, Barbie 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Well thank you. You're very handsome, Tegan.

[emmettestler]

  I suppose there’s that… I do see you, and you are far better looking 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Now that is a dirty lie!

[emmettestler]

  Tattoos -points to neck- and no muscles what so ever 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Appeals to the alternative crowd. And do you see me? You're only up against weaker.

[emmettestler]

  Don’t sell yourself short, I’ve never been good at that I’d be a terrible model, you know, if I had the model kind of look in the first place 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Are you kidding?Look at you, dark hair, slim frame, you'd be highly sought after.

[emmettestler]

  I’m sure modeling counts, it doesn’t look easy at all

[barbara-doll-blog]

If some of the people I've met can do it, anyone can. Just stand still and look at a camera.

[emmettestler]

  Now, I can’t believe that’s true 

[barbara-doll-blog]

I only have not eating, modeling, and working out. And I don't think anyone wants to watch me starve myself.

[emmettestler]

  Thanks, Barbie. -smiles- You signing up? 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Of course not. I possess no talents.

[emmettestler]

  -shrugs- Most people probably don’t want to hear anyways

[barbara-doll-blog]

I mean, I would like to. But it's the only person I can speak for.

[emmettestler]

  I don’t know if there’s even any point 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Any point in showing off your talents? Of course their is. Makes untalented people like me jealous.

[emmettestler]

  -looks over and smiles- Hey, Barbie. I’m good with the reading, thanks 

[barbara-doll-blog]

What's the hesitation then?

[emmettestler]

-at the nurses station looking at the sign up sheet biting his lip- 

[barbara-doll-blog]

-walks up and leans up against the counter- Need help reading?

[emmettestler]

  Same goes for you 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Thank you. Well, I guess I'll see you around, Tegan.

[emmettestler]

Yeah, means a lot to me too. It’s a nice change doing something with someone that understands 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Yea, it really is. Even if you're not in the infirmary but need someone who gets it, I'm right down the hall. -points with a smile-

[emmettestler]

  And I’ll do the same for you. More than happy to, this has been fun really. 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Thank you, that means a lot. And yes it has! I've enjoyed it.

[emmettestler]

  Yeah, me either. Looks like we’ve got ourselves a good plan here

[barbara-doll-blog]

Just call me if you get back in there and I'll come save ya.

[emmettestler]

  Looks like it… But we can always just escape together again. Not like they’ll be able to stop us 

[barbara-doll-blog]

Yes, we will cause I'm not getting stuck there ever again.

[emmettestler]

  I’m sorry, that must have been hard. Yeah, it is, I don’t think I’ve ever been anywhere more dull in my life. Yeah, it really is. If we end up back in the infirmary at the same time we should do something like this again 

[barbara-doll-blog]

We definitely will. I'll probably be back soon enough. They enjoy watching me do anything to keep them from filling me up. It's like a game for them. -tosses the butt of the cigarette into the snow-
