Debating how to work them into the story :)

[lost-1n-orbit]

[The second they are on their spot on the roof Eli hugs lou tightly.]

I missed this..... you...

[His short hair was soft and he looked healthier. He has been sleeping in the closet nest but slowly moving out into the big nest]

I'm sorry

[Lou holds onto him like she's never going to let him go. His hair's gotten longer and he looks tired, but he's better than he was before.]

I'm...I am just happy that you're still here.

[fluttering-birdie]

[She falls back with lou in her arms. And flys into the air. She chuckles]

Look...

See that big building out there?

[Tjey are going to an abandoned store on the edge of town]

[lost-1n-orbit]

Yeah?

[fluttering-birdie]

Inside is super cool.

[They land on the roof and he opens it up and leads her in]

Oh fuck yea! Hand that shit over!!!

[fluttering-birdie]

I've been in the closet for a bit... literally. Closet nest.... I don't wanna leave it yet

[fluttering-birdie]

Let me die. Please let me die

[fluttering-birdie]

[Eli is sobbing. He is broken. He can't take this anymore. It hurt too much. He goes to the roof only for jay to pull him away]

Let me go

Roof is off-limits

Let me go.

Look. Do you want lou to come back with you dead?

Lou isn't coming back. Why would he? He gave up. Why should I continue.

You are one sad mother fucker.

Oh fuck off.

I mean it. You suck

[Eli growls and punches him before storming to his room. Jay sighs as he feels the bruse welling. But it kept eli from doing something stupid]

[lost-1n-orbit]

I love you lou.... goodbye....

...

Don't you fuckin' dare.

[fluttering-birdie]

I love you I do. I really fucking do. But I have lost everything. I love you.

[lost-1n-orbit]

You have Allan an' Cal an' M.

I ain't worth dyin' over. You die over me an' I'm never gonna forgive you.

[fluttering-birdie]

You promised me you were going to be home. Everything i have done these past weeks were all for you lou. I have tried everything. You promised me things were going to be ok. You lied...

[Is he... crying?]

Why?! I fucking loved you so much! You you were my world. My everything, lou. You were holding my broken frame together! You were there for me when at my lowest! It was always you!

[lost-1n-orbit]

I don't know!

I got selfish I guess 'cause that's all I can be.

I love you, but I bring you an' everyone else so much pain. I should've died in Georgia. I shouldn't even be alive. If I had died in Georgia, Allan never would have died. I never would have hurt you. I never would have almost killed Callisto. I never would have hurt Ryan and did what I did. Aria would never have had to risk her life for me and regret it later.

There's a world without me, y'know?

And everyone's actually happier an' better off without me. Oh sure, they miss me an' there's the grief, but no one ever got hurt in the way they did here.

I love you, okay? But I am not even supposed t'be around to love or hurt you like this.

I don't want you t'die. I don't want you to hurt anymore either.

[fluttering-birdie]

I WILL huRT WITHOUT YOU. I WIKL HURT SO MUCH. I NEED YOU LOU. FOR FUCKS SAKE! I WOULD BE DEAD WITHOUT YOU. I WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND WHEN SAM ABANDONED ME. I WOULD BE DEAD. YOU ARE THE ONLY FUCKING SPARK IN MY LIFE. ALLAN MISSES YOU. I NEED YOU. YOU DON'T NEED TO GO THERE. THEY WILL FUCKING KILL YOU.

[lost-1n-orbit]

I know.

I'm sorry.

[fluttering-birdie]

NO FUCK YOU. COME HOME. IF YOU ARE SORRY YOU WILL TURN AROUND AS SOON AS YOU LAND AND COME HOME. IF YOU FUCKING LOVE ME YOU WILL. I REFUSE TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU.

[lost-1n-orbit]

...

I'll let you know what I decide when I land.

[fluttering-birdie]

Please. please come home please. There shouldn't be a decision. I am begging you.

[lost-1n-orbit]

I love you lou.... goodbye....

...

Don't you fuckin' dare.

[fluttering-birdie]

I love you I do. I really fucking do. But I have lost everything. I love you.

[lost-1n-orbit]

You have Allan an' Cal an' M.

I ain't worth dyin' over. You die over me an' I'm never gonna forgive you.

[fluttering-birdie]

... if lou isn't home by Tuesday I am doing it. And no one is going to fucking stop me.

[lost-1n-orbit]

I love you lou.... goodbye....

Don't you fuckin' dare.

[fluttering-birdie]

I love you I do. I really fucking do. But I have lost everything. I love you.

[lost-1n-orbit]

[Eli comes home and starts to call for lou. He is crying]

[Lou isn't there. He left his jacket and a couple of notes on the table.]

[The first one is addressed to Eli and pinned to the jacket.]

Left you this for nesting. Sorry I can't be there right now. I'll be back. Probably. Love you.

[fluttering-birdie]

[He breaks down sobbing. He lied. He lied... he can't take it. Too much has happened. What is the point anymore. He destroys the nest in his room before going to the roof. What was the point. He lost the only person that stayed with him. He can't do this. He can't he has lost too much. This was the straw]

[silent-and-deadly]

[Allan gets back just as he's climbed to the roof.]

Eli?

[He sees the notes and the destroyed nest.]

[He goes running to stop him.]

[fluttering-birdie]

[Eli is looking over. He looks... dead inside... like everything has come crushing down on him. He doesn't hesitate to try to step off]

[silent-and-deadly]

[A ward stops him from falling.]

[Allan grabs him and pulls him back.]

[fluttering-birdie]

[He pulls away]

Let. Me. Go.

[He has the note in his hand]

[silent-and-deadly]

No.

[fluttering-birdie]

I've lost everything al.

I've lost the person I cared the most about.

I can't continue on.

[silent-and-deadly]

You are going to have to carry on because we are going to get him back. I am not letting you die. We will get him back. I promise.

[fluttering-birdie]

HOW!

[Eli snaps]

LOU DOESN'T FUCKING CARE CLEARLY I BEGGED HIM TO STAY. I BEGGED HER NOT TO GO! SHE PROMISED!

[silent-and-deadly]

I don't know, but I'm going to figure this out. I'm sorry that this happened. I am sorry that she lied. I'm sorry that it got to this point. I should have stayed back with him to make sure that someone was there when he got up.

[fluttering-birdie]

....

I can't live like this allan I can't.. this is too much.

I have lost everyone.

Let me die.

I lost the only person I have let myself love.

Let me die or kill me.

[silent-and-deadly]

I will not let you die.

I will not kill you.

You're my son, and I love you. I'm not going to let things end like this.

[fluttering-birdie]

.....

[He punches him in the face. Hard. Trying to knock him out]

[silent-and-deadly]

[It doesn't work. He's still awake. There's just now a nasty bruise forming on his cheek.]

Ouch.

You are still not dying tonight, Eli.

[fluttering-birdie]

Yes I am.

I can not live like this. I can not like with this pain.

I lost my partner Allan.. I lost lou.

I lost my family.

I lost my home several times over.

I can not.

[He trys to walk off again where he thinks he sees the ward end]

[silent-and-deadly]

[The ward surrounds the whole rooftop. There is no end.]

[fluttering-birdie]

LET ME GO! FOR FUCKS SAKE! I CAN NOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

[silent-and-deadly]

No.

[fluttering-birdie]

[Eli growls and pulls the knife from his bag instead and goes to slit his own throat]

[silent-and-deadly]

[Allan puts a ward between the knife and his throat.]

[He walks over and carefully takes the knife from him.]

[fluttering-birdie]

[Eli punches him again]

LET ME FUCKING DIE! I LOST EVERYTHING LET ME DIE!

[silent-and-deadly]

[He catches Eli's fist.]

No. You weren't going to let Lou die and I will not let you die. He is trying to go back to Georgia right now. We are going to stop him.

[fluttering-birdie]

[When he hears Georgia it is like the last bit of hope died. He doesn't say anything. He just tries to force allan to stab him.]

[silent-and-deadly]

[Allan drops the knife and kicks it away so that Eli can't use it.]

Pack a bag. Grab a waterbottle. We're not letting things end like this.

[fluttering-birdie]

Let me fucking die.

[silent-and-deadly]

No.

[fluttering-birdie]

.... go get packing then. I'll be down in a few seconds.

[He goes back to the edge.... eli... while his body is here... the boy is dead it seems]

[silent-and-deadly]

No, I'll have you head down first.

We can sit in silence while you figure out what you wanna do.

[fluttering-birdie]

I'm going to die al.

I can not live like this.

I refuse.

[He trys one last time. Hitting al hard to make his focus waver and to drop the ward]

[silent-and-deadly]

[His focus wavers slightly, but it's not enough to make him drop the ward.]

I am not giving up on you.

[He's held a ward up through worse and for lesser causes.]

[fluttering-birdie]

You should. You really fucking should.

[He goes back in and he hears him grab something from the kitchen and go to the bathroom]

[silent-and-deadly]

Eli no!

[Allan runs after him and tries to stop him.]

[fluttering-birdie]

[The door closes just as he gets there.]

[silent-and-deadly]

Eli, please! Please don't do this!

[He tries to get the door open and ward the vital areas of Eli at the same time.]

[fluttering-birdie]

[No response. But eli is still alive in there. Eli is using his body to keep the door closed]

[silent-and-deadly]

[Allan keeps his focus on the wards as he goes to get a screw driver to remove the handle.]

[fluttering-birdie]

Don't you fucking do it al.

[silent-and-deadly]

I am not lettin' you die.

[fluttering-birdie]

You should. You really fucking should.

Go get lou.

But I can not live on.

I refuse

[silent-and-deadly]

I will not lose either of you. You are comin' with me or I'm droppin' you with Jay until we get back.

[fluttering-birdie]

[He hears eli kick someone back. His breathing is labored.]

I... I can't live like this anymore.

[silent-and-deadly]

[He gets the door open finally.]

[fluttering-birdie]

[Parker was in there with eli]

@vandalized-swingset

[lost-1n-orbit]

I love you lou.... goodbye....

...

Don't you fuckin' dare.

[fluttering-birdie]

I love you I do. I really fucking do. But I have lost everything. I love you.

[lost-1n-orbit]

You have Allan an' Cal an' M.

I ain't worth dyin' over. You die over me an' I'm never gonna forgive you.

[fluttering-birdie]

You promised me you were going to be home. Everything i have done these past weeks were all for you lou. I have tried everything. You promised me things were going to be ok. You lied...

[Is he... crying?]

Why?! I fucking loved you so much! You you were my world. My everything, lou. You were holding my broken frame together! You were there for me when at my lowest! It was always you!
