I don't ever want to let you down I don't ever want to leave this town 'Cause [after all] This city never sleeps at night It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger but then [I'll admit] I'm just the same as I was Now don't you understand? That I'm never changing who I am

“Can I get a double espresso, please?”

@brennandavenport

“Sure thing, man.” Brennan turned to reach for the small cups, before turning back and raising an eyebrow. “Want to get crazy and make it a triple?”

Jess just shook her head. She couldn’t talk about it. Part of her knew she would have to tell him at some point, but right now, she couldn’t bear to utter a word.

"Okay. It's okay." He whispered, wrapping her up in his arms once more. Brennan didn't want to push her, not when she was already so upset. All he cared about right now was getting her home and making her feel better - as much as he could. "Come on, let's get you home. Do you wanna come over?" He asked, not sure if she would prefer to be by herself.

Text || Jess & Bren

Jess: Paracelsus's

Jess: How soon can you be here?

Brennan: I'm leaving now

Brennan: Give me two minutes, I'll find you

“You only say that because you’re my brother.” Les shrugged. “I’m more excited for that New Years party tonight. It sounds like it’ll be fun.”

“Alright, well, I don’t know what it’s like not to be your brother, so I can’t really argue that.”  He laughed, shrugging easily. “Yeah? I wasn’t sure I was gonna go this year.”

[brennandavenport]

Jess nodded, but made no effort to move. Instead, she just buried her face in his shirt and gave into the emotions and started sobbing.

“Hey, hey I’m here, it’s okay. You’re okay.” He murmured, rubbing her back as she burst into tears, not sure what was happening but knowing that he hated seeing her so upset. He leaned back just far enough to look at her face, wiping at her tears. “Jess, what happened? What’s going on?”

[brennandavenport]

Jess was waiting for Bren outside of the hospital. She didn’t want to risk one of the healers accidentally telling him what had happened. She didn’t want to burden him with the news of the loss of a baby he hadn’t even know was going to be. Still, the moment, he arrived Jess found herself rushing into her big brother’s arms.

@brennandavenport

It hadn’t been as easy as he’d thought, finding the right spot. The hospital, sure, but the place had to have about five different entrances. Finally spotting her standing outside, he quickened his pace, folding her in his arms as she found him. He held her tight - Brennan didn’t care if it was just a stomach bug, having to pick any of his sister’s up from a hospital was always going to put him on edge. “Come on, let’s get you home.”

Text || Jess & Bren

Jess: Don't freak out, but I'm in the hospital.

Jess: Some weird stomach bug.

Jess: Feeling well enough to go home, but can't apparate.

Jess: Can you come get me?

Brennan: Okay you should know better than trying to say "don't freak out" and "I'm in the hospital" don't go like, hand in hand

Brennan: Which hospital?

“I don’t get why people make such a big deal out of birthdays.” Leslie said with a slight frown. “Mom and dad got me a present and, like, I love them but…I was just born, it’s not really something to celebrate.”

@brennandavenport

“Of course it’s something to celebrate.” He scoffed, nudging her. “I mean, I’m super glad you were just born.”

[brennandavenport]

Kyle shrugged. “I suppose so. To be honest, I’ve never really been in one before.”

“Never? What the - then you are totally going first, my friend.”

[brennandavenport]

jessdavenport‌:

“I knew I was your favorite,” Jess grinned.

“Yeah, well, don’t go spreading that around or the others might revolt.”

[brennandavenport]

lesdavenport‌:

“Yeah. I guess that makes sense.” Leslie shrugged. She didn’t really know much about the ghost world, and these were all assumptions. “I’ve never been dead so I don’t really know.”

“Good point.” He laughed, nudging her playfully. “So, how’s that girl you’re like, obsessed with? Give a guy some details, Les.”

[brennandavenport]

jessdavenport‌:

“Bren, if you wait too long you might lose her again.”

“Jess, you can’t lose something you don’t have. I never had her, not really.”

[jessdavenport]

“Have you talked to Nat yet?”

@brennandavenport

[brennandavenport]

Brennan shrugged. "I haven't really got it all figured out yet. I just want to be ready before I blindside her, you know?"

[brennandavenport]

kyleemurphy‌:

“So you’d want to come in here if you knew someone died in here?”

“I mean, like, isn’t that what haunted houses are? Places people have died, so they’re creepy and have ghosts and shit.”

[brennandavenport]

jessdavenport‌:

“Spending time with me is always fun.”

“Of course it is.” He agreed - a wide, easy grin on his face as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, tugging her against him as they walked. “Why do you think I asked you and not one of the other three?” Bren teased.

[brennandavenport]

lesdavenport‌:

“Hey, are you gonna come over to my place to watch the game tonight? Or are we doing yours?”

@brennandavenport

“I dunno, I’m down for whatever.” Brennan shrugged, not really minding either way. “Is Grant going to be home?”

[brennandavenport]

jessdavenport‌:

“You’d like it just fine if you got lost in here for a couple of hours with Nat.” Jess smirked. “But I guess as your sister, it’s not the same.”

“I’d like anything just fine if I was lost for a couple of hours with Nat.” He snorted, shaking his head. But they might be getting ahead of themselves. “I should hope not, although that doesn’t mean it’s not fun.”
