Broken Road

Poppy Belle Winters is the name, 19 is the age and I guess I'm currently living in Hazel Run. I'm not entirely sure how long I'll be here for but I figured it might be worth making some... friends while I am so if you don't mind getting covered in paint, kids who have tragic backstories and superhero movies, come say hi. What have we got to lose?

Markus: The last time I stepped foot in a hospital, they told me that my mother died.

Markus: Apparently there was nothing they could do to help her.. but I was with her in the accident. It wasn't so bad that it would kill her.. At least I don't think..

Belle: Sometimes things on the inside are worse than they look on the outside... I'm so sorry about your mom...

Belle: But they're already doing things for Sebastian. They're already helping, right? so that's already different.

Markus: I can't have a repeat happen with him, Belle.

Markus: I don't think I'll be able to take that.

Belle: Then make a decision... As horrible as it is, you need to decide whether to reach out to him and try and fix things, or just... drop everything and pull back.

Belle: What do you mean a repeat...?

Markus: I don't want to hurt him more.

Markus: I.. I can't go see him. Not at the hospital, I can't..

Belle: I can't tell you what to do, sweetie, but I can tell you that I really don't think distancing yourself is going to help.

Belle: Breathe, honey. You don't have to do anything.

Belle: Okay, as harsh is this going to sound... The guy nearly drank himself to death. Because you two apparently hit a rough patch. I feel like that alone is sign that he'll want you still. Walking out might've been a defence thing... I don't know. I'm sorry. I wish I could tell you how it will turn out.

Markus: But what if he doesn't?

Markus: What if he doesn't trust me anymore?

Markus: I hurt him really, really bad..

Belle: Markus, I...

Belle: It might take time but I'm sure it'll work out. You just have to... Stick around. Make sure he knows you're still interested. As tempting as it is to create distance between you two, I wouldn't advise it.

Belle: people say crazy things when they're upset, Markus... I'm sure he didn't mean it.

Belle: I'm sure it'll be okay. I mean, if things are meant to work out they will, right? He'll live, and you'll get back together and everything will be fine.

Markus: What if I messed up too much this time? What if he doesn't want me?

Markus: He walked out on me.. He's never done that. He's never left..

Belle: Okay, as harsh is this going to sound... The guy nearly drank himself to death. Because you two apparently hit a rough patch. I feel like that alone is sign that he'll want you still. Walking out might've been a defence thing... I don't know. I'm sorry. I wish I could tell you how it will turn out.

Belle: Has he said he loves you?

Belle: Oh... Right. Okay... I'll let the nurse know not to expect anyone then...

Markus: He did.. But we fought and he said loved.. Like past tense..

Markus: I think I messed up really bad.

Belle: people say crazy things when they're upset, Markus... I'm sure he didn't mean it.

Belle: I'm sure it'll be okay. I mean, if things are meant to work out they will, right? He'll live, and you'll get back together and everything will be fine.

Markus: I hope you're right..

Markus: His parents aren't around anymore.. I'm kinda the only thing he's got.

Belle: Has he said he loves you?

Belle: Oh... Right. Okay... I'll let the nurse know not to expect anyone then...

Markus: No.. No it wasn't. I didn't mean to hurt him. I didn't mean to make him run off.. I didn't mean to do it..

Markus: ICU?

Belle: I know, it's okay. I know, and I bet he knows too. You two are so great together, I'm willing to bet he knows.

Belle: Intensive Care... He can only have two visitors at a time. Are his parents around? I haven't seen anyone go in and try to visit him anyway.

Markus: I don't know.. I don't.. I told him that I never said I loved him.. Which is true, I never said it.. But I do.. And now..

Markus: I can't go visit him. I can't go to the hospital..

Belle: Okay? But that alone can't be enough, surely? Unless it was said with the intention to hurt but I know you wouldn't do that.

Belle: He... can't have visitors at the moment anyway... ICU.

Markus: No.. No I said something.. Something bad..

Markus: Seizures?

Markus: Oh god oh god this isn't good.. This isn't good at all..

Belle: What happened, honey? Do you need the company? I can come over...

Belle: yeah... He's in the best hands available, okay? Where his best chance is.

[kodajude]

Hey you. Random I know, and it's like... gone 1am and everything. But weird question coming your way... Sebastian. Tall, meerkat looking? He's your boyfriend, right? ~Belle

Uh… Yeah. Yeah he’s my boyfriend. Why? 

[kodajude]

He.. Oh my god. It’s my fault… Fuck. The hospital? That’s where he is?

[bellexwinters]

Your fault? I’m sure that’s not true. It just looked like he’d passed out after drinking or something... With a couple more seizures and vomit involved. Which isn’t helping, oh my god. Shut up Belle. Yeah that’s where he is. I phoned the ambulance straight away.

[kodajude]

Hey you. Random I know, and it's like... gone 1am and everything. But weird question coming your way... Sebastian. Tall, meerkat looking? He's your boyfriend, right? ~Belle

Uh… Yeah. Yeah he’s my boyfriend. Why? 

[bellexwinters]

Okay, so... don’t freak out on me here, but... He’s in hospital. I found him last night unconscious, I don’t know how he is, they wouldn’t tell me anything about how he is...

[officersawyer-deactivated201706]

You’re studying Sign Language? That’s great, I knew a few things already but Mariah is helping me out. She’s really good. How have you been, Belle? I feel like you’ve disappeared on us for a bit, beautiful.

[bellexwinters]

I am! I thought it might be useful, you know? And fun to learn. Besides, both Seb and Markus use it, so there’s a use for it! Really? That’s cool! Are you enjoying it?

I’ve been okay, just hiding from the world a little, I guess... Personal crap. How’ve you been, sweetie?

[bellexwinters]

You know, I think I’m starting to get this whole Sign Language thing down. another few months... or years... and maybe I’ll have half a chance at holding a conversation!

[deathseeingwilde]

Oh I’m sorry- were you speaking? I thought that trap you call a face was a mask with a voicebox. That doesn’t look good on you either. 

[bellexwinters]

Well hey, if it was a mask, at least I could remove it. You’re stuck with that mug of yours forever. Having an ugly interior will only make you ugly on the outside, hon, and I’d say you’ve got, oh... a couple months tops before you’re full on creature from the black lagoon bad.

[callie-reed]

I’ve been thinking about setting up one day every week or every two weeks or something at the pet shop where people can come in and cuddle the animals. They could do with the attention and it’s been proven that animal attention is good for human mental health, too… Thoughts?

[bellexwinters]

Oh my gosh, if anyone turns down this frankly adorable idea, just gimme their name and I’ll go knock some sense into them. That sounds amazing!

[matthew-sullivan]

You know what would be cool? If people stopped calling the fire department because cats got stuck in trees. Cats can and will climb down on their own without hurting themselves. And on another note, this is Matthew speaking, a firefighter.

[bellexwinters]

Hey, cats will love you more for saving them than the people ever would.Though with looks as good as yours, it might be far closer than usual... Hi, I’m Belle, and if I set a fire any time soon, it was totally an accident and not just a ploy to get you to come around.
