i believe we'll be okay

Dawn. awakening, daybreak. Dawn Golightly Peterson. Twenty two years rotating this earth. Wanderer. Optimist. Flower child. Aimlessly trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life. Let's sing in the rain.

Sully: I'm down.

Dawn: You're a wonderful human being.

Sully: What can I do?

Dawn: Bring me Spike and rub my feet.

Dawn: That was pushy and made me sound really spoiled.

Sully: The movies?

Dawn: That I will have to get up every fifteen minutes to go pee through.

Dawn: I just don't really feel like doing anything Sully.

Sully: Stop beating yourself up. Stop the self loathing. Let's go out and have some fun. Let's drag Meredith and Sebastian to bowling or mini golf or something. Neither of us can drink, so it'll just be some casual fun. Maybe even invite Emilie and Salem.

Dawn: I can barely make it up the stairs this week and you want me to go mini golfing or bowling.

Sully: n O

Dawn: What is wrong with you

[dawngolightly]

Sully: She will.

Sully: Don't worry about that, Dawn. I'm sure Max won't blame you.

Sully: I'll drive you back to Chicago. Sounds like a fun road trip. Maybe Max will come along with us.

Dawn: Gross gross and more gross just let me be a hermit.

Emilie: Okay.

Emilie: No, don't. I still need you in my life, alright? No matter how crazy that sounds.

Dawn: I wasn't thinking when I contacted Salem. I was crazy hormonal, and seeing red, and I just wanted to protect Max. I didn't think about anybody else when I did it, and I know I hurt you. And I'm sorry.

Dawn: But it was the only thing that made sense to me at the time. They broke him, and I can't fix him, and I didn't know what else to do.

Sully: She's going to get over it, Dawn. She's the most forgiving person in the world. Like ever.

Sully: It's not your fault he left, that's ridiculous.

Sully: Not gonna do that, nope.

Dawn: What if she doesn't?

Dawn: It's partially my fault.

Dawn: Why not? It's perfectly doable. There might not even be a wedding now so I won't even have to make the DRIVE back to Chicago.

Sully: Why does Emilie hate you? Why does Max hate you? Fill me in.

Dawn: I tried to apologize. I wanted her to know that I told him I changed my mind. I just wanted her to know.

Dawn: I told Caj everything and that's probably why he left. And he just keeps fighting with me.

Dawn: I'm just not gonna leave the house until I go into labor, okay? Just leave me with Spike we'll get on fine, he'll keep me company.

Dawn: Emilie hates me. Max hates me. This baby probably hates me.

salemodonnell: 

“I’m not going to convince him to do anything, Dawn,” Salem assured her. “I just feel like I can help. Somehow. I’m here, so it’s worth a shot.”

Dawn looked him over, hesitating for a moment before speaking. “Cayuga Medical Center.”

Emilie: Alright.

Dawn: I told him I changed my mind. I stopped it.

Dawn: I'm sorry I'll just leave you alone I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry.

[dawngolightly]

text || Emilie

Emilie: If he starts again he's not going to stop. He's going to drive himself into a spiral, Dawn.

Emilie: Am I the only fucking person around here that has regard for his life and mental health too?

[Fifteen minutes pass.]

Emilie: I'm sorry. That was harsh.

Dawn: [Read 5:05PM]

Dawn: I'm sorry.

[dawngolightly]

text || Emilie

Dawn: I'm a horrible friend I know that I'm so sorry but please just hear me out and know that I changed my mind.

[dawngolightly]

salemodonnell: 

“I’m not going to hurt him, I’m going to check on him.”

“I wasn’t worried about you hurting him,” she spoke, frowning. “I’m worried about you convincing him.” She paused, swallowing thickly. “He doesn’t want to see anybody,” she shook her head.

[dawngolightly]

salemodonnell: 

“Okay…” Salem nodded his head. “I’ll call off my plans.” He sighed, licking his lips as he considered what to do next. “What hospital is he staying in?”

Dawn’s eyes narrowed at his question, looking at him skeptically. “I’m not sure I should tell you that.”

[dawngolightly]

salemodonnell: 

“Great well… I guess you don’t really have to know then, do you?” Salem shook his head. “I don’t want to do this if it’s going to be on your conscience. But do you think they’re going to get what they deserve any other way?”

“Don’t do that,” she said firmly, shaking her head. “I wasn’t thinking clearly. I’m hormonal and pregnant and crazy protective. But I can’t have murder on my conscience.” She paused, pressing her lips together. “I don’t know,” she admitted, shrugging. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I know that I can’t -- I can’t be responsible for this.”
