we were built to fall apart

“I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do; I learned to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of ‘living a lie’. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.” — Lynn Barber

[becky-kruger]

Something seems wrong. What’s wrong?

[dauntless-haley]

Nothing's wrong, why would something be wrong? I'm just trying to have a good time. 

[tommy--harrison]

Well heartbreak happens.

[dauntless-haley]

I'm aware. If you've forgotten I've lost everyone I've ever cared about.

[tommy--harrison]

Thought you would have been used to it, it happens a lot around here.

[dauntless-haley]

No I am..this was different I guess. 

[becky-kruger]

Yeah! But. Are you drunk? I didn’t know you drank… weird.

[dauntless-haley]

Of course I am! What's a party without drinking, Becky? Wow, you should've see how many bottles of wine I had hidden around my room. It's a shock they never caught me. 

[tommy--harrison]

What’s your excuse?

[dauntless-haley]

Someone from my past showed up. Then disappeared. 

[tommy--harrison]

I’ll need more than a glass.

[dauntless-haley]

You and me both.

[becky-kruger]

Haley….?

[dauntless-haley]

Becky! Thank God, someone who actually knows how to have fun. 

[tommy--harrison]

That is one sentence I’ll never say no to.

[dauntless-haley]

Knock yourself out. 

[tommy--harrison]

Yeah, that sounds like a lie. There’s no way I’d be any more graceful than those baboons.

[dauntless-haley]

Fine. At least have a drink.

[tommy--harrison]

If loosening up looks like that — I’m going to pass Haley.

It actually looks like they are having a seizure…

.. 

[dauntless-haley]

That doesn't mean you have to look like you're having a seizure, silly. 

[tommy--harrison]

Strangely enough, I don’t dance.

I’d rather not make a fool out of myself along with the majority of the people on the dance floor. 

[dauntless-haley]

Oh come on Tom, loosen up a little! 

[dauntless-haley]

Don't be a loner, come over here and dance with me!

[dauntlessaaronarchive-blog]

I don’t like when that happens unless it’s me doing it.

[dauntless-haley]

Well then I suggest checking something made by others before eating it. 

[dauntlessaaronarchive-blog]

"Did someone put something in the cake? I feel stoned from it..and it wasn’t me." 

[dauntless-haley]

Probably, wouldn't be the first time I've heard of someone doing it.

"Thank you, ‘Ley," Celeste smiled softly at the other girl as she walked out of the door. She leaned her head back against the bed, a small frown forming on her lips as she thought about Ava, but she didn’t wear the frown for long because within a few minutes her friend was back with food and sunken eyes immediately looked the bundle over as her stomach churned at the sight of it all. Weak arms forced her body into a sitting position then scooted over to make room for her best friend on the bed. "Thank you,"

[dauntless-haley]

"No problem." Haley smiled, taking a seat at the end of her bed. "You didn't miss much, if you were wondering about that." She decided not to tell her about Ezra, she decided a few days ago she wouldn't tell anyone about him until she got answers. Until she had an actual conversation with him not ending in tears. Which was seeming more and more unlikely due to the fact that she hadn't seen him in days.
