⌖     @baresteeth         …         jude .         ◜     i     would     do     anything     for     you .     ◞

“ i know. ” it's a lot to ask. you know it is. you chewed it over, again and again, not because of lack of trust ( no, that's never been the issue, he's met your heart, it sits in his palm, his ribs most days, his as much as yours, both the fleshy organ and the bit of you that exists outside of your body, there's no one you trust more ) but because of what it implies.

you wouldn't ask, if it weren't one thousand percent necessary. because there's only ever been you. you and her. and now it's you and her and jude and mina and you remember what it was like, seventeen, fighting to keep her. you've always had back ups, safeties, if anything were to she'll be set, for the rest of her life. but it would be nice, because money is one thing, but family ..

there isn't anywhere else she'd want to be. nowhere else you'd rather she be. you'd rest easier, you say. your jobs are more intense these days, something you don't say to him, but it's better safe than sorry. there's no doubt that he'd agree, that he would take her, if it came to it, but there's something about staring down the paper and ink, as if now more than a mere what if. something veritable, real. it's in his eyes, the set of his shoulders, tensed, cagey. the guilt for even making him think of it sits in your throat.

you wouldn't ask, if you didn't need it. if anything happens to me, will you take her ? met with nothing's gonna happen to you while i'm here, jude's accent switching mid protest unnoticed but for your small, helpless smile. the initial rejection isn't personal, you know this. the ink recites your death. what happens after, in the case of it. a world without you. even if you don't believe you will, have no plans or expectation of it, you know what it looks like, to him.

“ i know, ” you repeat, softer, nose to nose. hands cupping the back of his neck, a point of grounding but also gentle insistence. "i'm sorry. i'm not going anywhere anytime soon. but i need this, ” the murmur honest, freely open in a way you are often not. not with anyone but him. “ it's .. how i am. our lives .. nothing's ever definitive, except for us. i raised her. i'm responsible for her. i can't leave it on chance. ”

there are comforting words, across the varying languages they both speak , and these .... are none of them . instead an oncoming headache , budding behind tired eyes that'll evolve in the next few hours . they have a shift later , too . ( what is it , when you look at the carnage ? what rolls your stomach , the guilt ? the consequences ? that your hands are no better , no cleaner , the dog that weeps regrets )

❛      come on ,     ❜ they murmur . ❛      we should get going , before the sun sets . you got what you need ?      ❜ the body .. the bounty , among other things . ❛      .. . you're dripping .      ❜

why are you here ?

drive .  drive fast .

i think we should make an informed decision .

are you coming or not ?

you’ve been avoiding me .

[ name ] ,  what were you thinking ?

this should be your priority .

let me hold you for a minute .

get out of my way .  i won’t tell you again .

that wasn’t supposed to happen .

can you keep a secret ?

i don’t know what i did to deserve you .

you seriously think i could’ve done something like that ?

you’re safe with me .

sorry isn’t good enough .

where is all this coming from ?

who told you about that ?

sorry i’m late ,  i got caught up .

you’re being paranoid .

why are you looking at me like that ?

you’re the single most important thing to me .

all i’m asking is that you hear me out .

whatever they told you ,  it’s a lie .

we shouldn’t stick around here .

hold my hand ,  i don’t want to lose track of you .

[ name ]  …  truth or dare ?

i love you .  nothing’s gonna change that .

can you tell me what happened ?

you can’t come around here anymore .

back off ,  okay ?

what ,  you don’t have time for me anymore ?

you’re asking for too much .

i’m trying to start a new life .

what do you mean ,  you aren’t coming back ?

sometimes i think you must hate me .

why can’t we just talk about this ?

i know i fucked up ,  you can stop rubbing it in .

you’ve got quite a reputation .

i’m not usually like this ,  i’m sorry .

please ,  just let me explain myself .

i love watching you work .

we’re on the same team .

did you ever tell anyone ?

you’ve got a lot of explaining to do .

really funny ,  you’re very mature .

you call THAT a PLAN ?

can we get out of here ?

i thought things would be different .

this is not up for debate !

do whatever you have to do .

karma’s going to get you for that .

it could’ve been a lot worse .

i asked you to leave me out of this .

maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith .

i never want to see you again .

can you see how many fingers i’m holding up ?

i’m gonna be there when you get what’s coming to you .

you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me .

i’ve been waiting all night for this .

i told you not to contact me .

sometimes i really think you have a death wish .

what do you need ?  —  what can i do ?

i would do literally anything to keep you safe .

that was supposed to be a secret .

you haven’t called me that in years .

stop telling me to calm down !

we make a pretty good team .

i have so much i want to say to you .

i’m not going to let anyone hurt you .

can we please not do this right now ? 

wait ,  wait  …  just breathe for a second .

how are you holding up ?

why don’t you stay the night ?  i’ll take the couch .

i don’t need your protection !

you’re not making this easier on yourself .

are you going to let me in ?

i’m supposed to be protecting you .

i will kill you if i have to .

do whatever you have to do .

this is going to hurt ,  i’m sorry .

what happened to you ,  where have you been ?!

there was nothing you could’ve done .

you’re all i need right now .

i don’t believe in love at first sight .

have you been following me ?

i need you to believe me .

what do you remember ?

i’m not a good person .

what the hell’s going on with you ?

you’re being followed .

just when i thought my day couldn’t be any worse .

i’ve been having weird dreams .

so you’ve been lying to me this whole time ?

are you trying to get us killed ?

this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me .

i never asked for your help .

you’re being followed ,  pretend you know me .

why has it started to feel different with you ?

don’t worry ,  i have a plan .

i heard everything .

do you need to sit down ?

i have the right to know what’s going on .

i’ve just gotta catch my breath .

stay out of my business .

what did you think was going to happen ?!

don’t cause a scene .

tell me something about you that i don’t know .

can i buy you a drink ?

what if  …  we played spin the bottle ?

this was never a problem until  [ name ]  came around .

you can’t ask me to make that choice .

are you seeing anyone right now ?

i need you to listen to me ,  we don’t have long .

you’re lying ,  that doesn’t make any sense .

you look  …  stunning .

what are you trying to prove ?

who died and made you the boss of me ?

you can’t just show up here like this .

let me make it up to you .

there’s no way i’m leaving you like this .

can we stay like this ?  just for a little longer .

i don’t need you to fight for me .

so  …  you lied to me ?

you’re the only one that can help me .

i can’t help you if you won’t let me .

i never introduced myself ,  i’m [ name ] .

i expected more from you .

you have no idea who i am ,  do you ?

are you real ?  is this real ?

can i stay with you ?  just for the night .

you’re going to get yourself killed .

why did you help me ?

tell me what i can do to help .

pick a card ,  any card .

i never wanted any of this .

i love you .   you don’t have to say it back .

do you wanna get out of here ?

what the hell are you talking about ?

i should have trusted you .

get your head out of the clouds .

how is any of this MY fault ?!

what aren’t you telling me ?

i can’t help you if you won’t let me .

it’s never just one with you ,  is it ?

you’re not supposed to know about that .

shut your mouth .

i haven’t kissed you yet ,  today .

where is this coming from ?

come over here and make me ,  then .

keep lying to yourself ,  see where it gets you .

i’m not a bad person .

is that what you wanted to hear ?

we can’t be seen together .

i can’t give you what you want .

i need you to leave .

are you drunk ?

i’m here ,  i’m here .  i’m not going anywhere .

you might want to take a seat for this .

have you been listening to anything i’ve said ?

i haven’t heard from you in weeks .

you’re jealous ,  aren’t you ?

who do you think you’re talking to ?

what are you reading ?

you could’ve killed me !

come on ,  we don’t have time for this .

i just need ten minutes of silence .

really ?  that’s all you have to say ?

we could leave ,  you know .  go far away .

you don’t look too good .

i never want to see you again .

why can’t you just leave me alone ?

i thought you died .

you’ll do anything for attention .

give me another chance .

how’s the weather up there ?

all you do is hurt people !

i’m sorry ,  none of this makes sense .

you need to get out of here before anyone sees you .

i told you i didn’t want you around here .

is that supposed to be a threat ?

you’ve changed .

don’t look at me like that .

it’s a beautiful day ,  don’t you think ?

i did what i had to do .

you never know when to stop .

i’ve got to get home ,  it’s getting late .

i have nothing to prove to you .

stop LYING to me  …  all you do is lie .

you don’t have to be nice to everybody .

don’t tell me what to do .

pull your head out of the past .

nobody can help me .  i can’t even help me .

we are not talking about that right now .

are you new around here ?

you have no idea what you’re starting .

i’m gonna get us out of here .

whatever you came here to say ,  i don’t want to hear it .

everyone’s staring at us .

is there anything i can do to help ?

i won’t cause you any more trouble .

– just follow my instructions for once !

do you want to come in ?

i just didn’t know what to do .

you need rest ,  lie down .

i’m not who you think i am .

i don’t know what you want me to say .

you’re not like anyone else i’ve ever met .

i feel like i’m going insane .

stop asking ,  you’re not going to like my answer .

i didn’t want you to see me any differently .

i wish i knew what to say to you .

don’t give me that look ,  you know what i mean .

you should be afraid .

do you still love me ?

i never thought i’d get this far .

the world doesn’t revolve around you .

i need you to give me some space .

i know what you’re doing ,  don’t play games .

you left me to die .

i’m beyond repentance .

when are you going to get it through your head ?

i missed you more than i thought i would .

i’m in love with you .

what do you need from me ?

i’ll kill them ,   just say the word .

[ name ] ,   what are you doing here ?

how can i help ?

you’re pathetic .

i need you to come pick me up .

where have you been ?  it’s eleven o’clock .

i couldn’t live with myself if i let you get hurt .

i can’t just pretend it didn’t happen .

you’re a real piece of work .

do you remember how we first met ?

when did all of this fall apart ?

that’s not what i came here for .

i would do anything for you .

i don’t need you to hold my hand through this .

are you sure this is the right thing to do ?

can’t we try to pretend things are okay ?

what is THAT supposed to mean ?

you’re always late ,  what am i supposed to think ?

there’s nothing you can do to fix this .

you’re far too kind to me .

can we go now ?  like ,  right now ?

i have to do this alone .

where’s your common sense ?

we aren’t supposed to be in here .

can you feel my heartbeat ?

i think i’ve seen you around before .

why are you acting weird ?

i have a really bad feeling .

i hate seeing you like this .

how am i supposed to react to that ?

what do you want most in the world ?

[debtgun]

i come back.

“ if you need to be mean / be mean to me ”

[debtgun]

the concept of working with or against angel one day and then like next week ur pulling up to this little bodega for a coke at 2 am to find the person u were shooting with / at nearly half asleep at the counter

[debtgun]

angel's love, whether it's platonic / romantic / familial, is very devoted. when they love you, they love you, you are added to that very tight very small knit inner circle that few are gathered into, that they are very willing to do anything for

[subvalentine]

he called me “pretty baby”... i’m gonna suck the soul out of him

[debtgun]

i am thinking of angel's collection of various odds and ends jobs over the years just to fill in the gaps between the store and their hits so with that note i say w so much confidence that angel can drive a semi

[debtgun]

i'm obsessed with angel's pin song it's the earth spins by anne nikitin.

[debtgun]

angel  drives  a  2000  honda  civic  in  electron  blue  pearl  with  worn  upholstery  ,  one  barely  working  mp3  aux  cord  that  seldom  sees  the  light  of  day  in  favor  of  angel’s  cd  collection  ,  has  star  stickers  patched  here  &  there  around  the  interior  from  b.b.’s  idle  fingers  ,  and  has  never  fully  been  able  to  get  rid  of  the  discolored  splotch  off  the  seats  in  the  back  from  a  quarter  machine’s  putty  prize  forgotten  and  melted  in  the  summer  heat .  angel  never  got  it  upgraded ,  never  saw  a  reason  to  ,  the  car  reliable  and  sentimental  and  only  driven  once  or  twice  every  few  weeks .  most  of  the  time  they’ll  walk  to  most  destinations  or  use  public  transportation  ,  preferring  to  save  the  car  for  larger  grocery  hauls  or  the  occasional  special  event  for  b.b.
