He let out a breath that resembled a laugh as he rolled his eyes and shook his head, there was nothing in the world that he could have found to be less true than that statement. “I am going to end up with no one Hales.. lets be honest, if and thats a BIG if, these people even do like me, they like me for the idea that I am this fixable, broken, unattainable thing that isnt who I really am.. I am so fucking tired of being reduced down to the idea of a person..” he was babbing at this point, letting every idea that had stewed in his head for the last couple days float out into the air between them. He felt her arms around her and he melted, holding her close and letting out a breath that took out every bit of anxiety within him. He was ready to drink the day away with his friend and let all of this bullshit go, even if just for a few hours. “well.. maybe we could use my powers of seduction” he couldnt help but cackle, him seductive was just laughable. He had slept with three people in his almost 25 years on this planet and one of them was only once. He was that farthest from what these blogs were making him out to be “and the fear you invoke.. we could run this town” he was already pouring another shot. “well.. Nate apparently is in love with me” he rolled his eyes “farthest thing from the truth, that man tolerates me at best, and thinks of me as a pathetic puppy at worst” he shook his head “so I clearly have some strings there.. I wont let them destroy you” he laughed
“What if we made a pact that if we’re both still single by like thirty then we just get married ourselves?” She giggled. “Your powers of seduction?” She said raising an eyebrow. “Oh please give me a little show. I would love to see that.” She said as she moved to sit back up on the counter. Hailee had learned a lot about seduction when she had left Crawford for California, but she would never admit that. Despite being more confident on the outside she was riddled with insecurities and fears on the inside. “Please teach me your ways Magic Milo.” She said as she sat back and prepared for whatever Milo would do. When Milo mentioned the idea of Nate being in love with him her heart nearly dropped to her stomach. She couldn’t fathom the idea of her best friend and ex love being in love. “Oh?” She said not knowing what else to say. “It’s fine you don’t have to pull any strings. He has every right to hate me. What I did was pretty fucked up and it’s not like I’ve explained anything nor am I going to to anyone but like you.” She said as she took another shot, feeling the warmth through her body.
