wander or leave

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Isaac’s fingers flowed over the keys with ease as he typed word after word, his eyes glued to the screen as he MOUTHED the sentences as they appeared on the white pages he had spent the morning and afternoon filling. At first he tried to ignore the one person he never wanted to see again, but the fact that she had sat down opposite and was now making herself known VERBALLY was throwing quite the spanner in his works. Sighing, he glanced up from the laptop and looked at her; expression blank and unamused by her presence. For a long stretch, the male did not speak. Instead, he just stared, a dark gaze meeting hers with an UNWAVERING DEFIANCE against everything that was Kate Wilde, but then he dropped his eyes back to the screen and resumed his typing. “— Feel free to leave now.”

Kate couldn’t help but chuckle at his reaction—or lack of. She hadn’t expected a friendly greeting, but this was pretty cold. How on earth had this turned around on her? Why did he get to be pissed at her? “I’m not leaving,” she said, crossing her arms over her chest stubbornly. “If I did, I wouldn’t cause a scene like you did the other night, though. Just so you know. That stunt got me yelled at. by the way. You’re probably going to be happy about that.”

Kate wasn’t sure what brought her to the library—curiosity or boredom. She rarely ever stepped foot in there, but it was her day off and she just happened to wander in there. It wasn’t like she wanted to actually pick out books or anything, but libraries were sort of romantic in a way. Not to mention the silence was a nice change from the chaotic ambiance of the bar she spent most of her time at. She was walking down an aisle, caught up in her thoughts, when she saw a familiar face sitting at a table not too far from her. Isaac seemed to be focused on his work and approaching him after their last conversation, but she did it anyways. Quietly, she sat in front of her and cleared her throat. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so focused ever.”

“You should really stop LYING TO YOURSELF, it can be a very damaging path to walk down,” Isaac quipped through almost gritted teeth. Once he had finished talking, he stood and placed a few notes down on the counter to pay for the drinks he had consumed, but left no tip. “No tip for you – it PAYS to give a customer a smile now and then, you know. It makes them feel WELCOME AND WANTED.” And, let’s be real, that was the last thing that Isaac felt around this woman. “That’s what I asked, yeah,” he nodded. “What the fuck got your knickers in a twist because I sure as hell did absolutely fuckin’ nothing to deserve this.” However, with this being Isaac, even he rarely believed that to be the case. Everyone seemed to have a problem with him, so why not her? “What the fuck are you talking about? I’m WASTED all the time, what’s the big deal? Why the hell don’t you just spit it out, Wilde.”

“I think I’ll be just fine, thanks for the concern,” she said sarcastically, washing a few dirty glasses a little too roughly. Kate could only scoff when he slid a few bills her way, giving no indication that she was going to reach for them. “I’m great at customer service, it’s the main reason I got the gig. I don’t smile to people I don’t like. You can keep the money, drinks are on me. That’s me bribing you never to come back in here while I’m working, by the way.” His wording made her chuckle and she stopped herself from telling him he was the one who got her knickers in a twist. Literally. “You did nothing alright,” she said with a scoff, leaning forward against the counter. “So was I that night. I don’t think it’s that irrational for me to be pissed that the guy who took my virginity doesn’t even remember doing it in the first place. Hell, I don’t think any girls would enjoy guys totally forgetting about them. So, I’m really fucking sorry you’re offended by my manners, but I really can’t stand you.”

“Says the one with NO SENSE OF HUMOUR,” Isaac quickly shot back. In his opinion, the pun was hilarious and totally relevant to who he was as a person - career-wise, at least - and her not appreciating it was almost like a kick in the teeth. Honestly, it took like half a second to event attempt to be positive. It wasn’t hard. “You’re just a BUNDLE OF JOY today, aren’t you?” his features settled into a scowl as he shifted back on the stool. You’d think he had just called her the worst name on the planet judging by her responses, and he was getting tired of it. “What the fuck is your problem?” Isaac then exclaimed as he pulled his hand back after it was slapped. “Seriously, what the fuck is WRONG with you?”

“I have an amazing sense of humor, actually. I just don’t think you’re very funny,” she said with a forced smile. It had more to do with how much she despised him, she would’ve laughed at that joke if anyone had said it but him. “I was fine before you walked in actually, go figure.” It was clear he had absolutely no clue why she was being so hostile towards him and that only pissed her off more. “What the fuck is my problem? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with me, what’s wrong with you? Do you seriously not remember? Were you that wasted?”

“Mhm,” Isaac smirked as he picked up the pint glass and took a long sip, brown eyes still focused on the girl he could BARELY REMEMBER from high school. “You know, it might be news to you - ha, get it? NEWS TO YOU… journalist pun. I win,” he laughed at his own joke before continuing, “talking about family is the least sexiest thing that you can do. Totally kills the buzz.” The glass was then placed down and he reached over and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. “Many many ways. I’m… VERSATILE.”

Kate looked at him with an unimpressed scowl, his joke failing to bring even the hint of a smile on her lips. “That joke was subpar at best,” she said flatly, rolling her eyes in annoyance. “Good, because I wasn’t trying to be sexy and I wasn’t aware there was a buzz. I’m glad I could smash it immediately, though.” He had no idea who she was and no idea how offended she currently was. Was she seriously this forgettable? Granted, they were wasted when they hooked up, but she still remembered him. She didn’t hesitate to slap his hand away, her eyes narrowing at him. “From what I recall, you’re not that versatile.”

You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?

I don’t remember my parents much, but I do remember this one trip to the zoo they brought Noah and I on. It’s all kind of blurry, honestly, I was four, but I would relive five minutes of that day if I could. I’d like to hear their voices, hold their hands, see what they’re like... All I have left of them are a few pictures and a few blurred memories, you know.

Who are your favorite people in Seattle and why?

My brother is at the top of the list, Luca is pretty cool and Lennox is honestly hilarious. I want to add Sawyer to this list, but I’m not sure his ego can handle it, so…

“OH MY GOD, I’m so sorry,” Lennox pressed her lips together in an attempt to stop the laughter from spilling out – but FAILED to do so quite miserably. She soon burst into a fit of giggles and covered her mouth with a hand. However, under Kate’s stare, the first year resident attempted to stop herself and hiccuped in the process. “Okay… I’m SOBER. Won’t happen again. Sorry, Kate…”

Kate looked at the blonde as she started rambling, her slurred words making it obvious that she was pretty intoxicated. Ironically, given the fact that she was a bartender and spent most of her time in a bar, she usually found drunk people obnoxious, but Lennox made drunk look kind of adorable. “Why do you drink? You already act drunk when you’re sober, you don’t need the extra help, Len.”

“And I DON’T CARE who your brother is,” Isaac returned, a soft smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “I didn’t when I was in high school and I don’t now.” Then again, Isaac didn’t really care for the concept of family outwith his own adoptive mothers - the idea had LET HIM DOWN far too often for him to care about anyone else’s. “I doubt that fucker would be able to… entertain you the way I could.”

“Clearly,” she muttered under her breath, wiping the counter around him and making a point of dirtying his arms with the old rag. “You should be. Just wait until I tell him about this.” She sounded like one of those kids that got back at their enemies by telling on them to their parents, but that was the effect he had on her. “And how could you entertain me exactly?”

“First of all, get out of my house,” Sawyer shot back, a slight hint of jest hid behind his tone, yet it didn’t reflect on his expression. “Oh, so you wanted me to offer champagne STRIPPED DOWN to my socks? Is that it? — call me Make-A-Wish and these shorts will drop, Katie,” he retorted, pointing down to his shorts with a smirk on his lips. “— never. I refuse to touch that ball of fur.”

“You’ll have to physically drag me out, I’m afraid. Before you do that, though, get me juice that’s not gross,” Kate said with a wide grin, trying her best to get under his skin at this point. “Champagne sounds lovely actually. Maybe you could hold a box of chocolate to hide everything like they do in the movies. — Is that you saying you wish I had a life-threatening condition? Because that wouldn’t be very nice of you.” At this point she was used to defending her cat, for good reason. He was old and liked only two people—Sawyer wasn’t one of them. “Please, he wouldn’t want you to touch him.”

“You know it doesn’t bode well for anyone to speak when there’s NO UNDERSTANDING of what’s going on,” Noah countered with a soft sigh. Death was not something that the male had ever truly gotten used to - which was ironic considering the job he later found himself in - and, quite frankly, he didn’t want to ever get used to it. It had already taken SO MUCH from the Wilde family, and now it was targeting his work and that – Noah honestly had no words for that. He just… couldn’t. As she continued to analyse his face and strained smile, he turned his head and focused once more on the calming blue of the water before them. “It’s nothing to worry about, I promise. I was just thinking about what has been lost already and how another one like this is just… too much.” Reaching up, the firefighter scratched his stubbled jaw and exhaled slowly. Once he had collected himself, he turned once more to his sister and slipped his hands into the pockets of his shorts. He chose to bypass what she was looking for and instead attempted to CHANGE the subject. “— Luca delivered fresh cookies and doughnuts yesterday and I haven’t eaten any yet. Shall we go back? I can give you them to take into work with you.”

Kate frowned slightly at his response, unsure what to tell him to make this better or how to get him to confide in her. He never had and he most likely wasn’t going to start now. “I guess,” she muttered under her breath, feeling a little defeated. He was always the one to pick her up when she was down and, as hard as she tried, she could never return the favor. “I know, it’s fucked up. I wish I knew what to say to make it better, but I don’t think there’s anything I could say that would make any of it better.” Even if there were, it probably wouldn’t make him feel better. He took things to heart, he felt too much. “I do worry about you, you know. You’re always so busy taking care of everyone else, who’s taking care of you?” The redhead couldn’t help a chuckle when he changed the subject randomly to donut, knowing he had picked a damn good topic to distract her. “Yeah, duh, I freaking love donuts. No way I’m bringing them to work, I’m eating all of them before that. I don’t want to have to share.”

“You’re forgetting that I grew up with TWO MOMS, do you honestly think your older brother is going to scare me? Yeah, no. I HIGHLY doubt that’s going to happen,” Isaac snorted. It may be a little bit false considering he knew EXACTLY who her big brother was, but that wasn’t exactly going to stop him from antagonising the idea. “If you did that then who would keep you company, hm?”

“I don’t care who you grew up with, you haven’t met my brother. He’s twice your size,” she told him, exaggerating the facts quite a bit. There were very few people that could get Kate fuming, but Isaac was definitely somewhere at the top of that list. “Hm, anyone else in this bar? I’d rather hang out with that drunk fat trucker dude over there, if we’re being completely honest.”

“Is that so?” Isaac smirked as he OBSERVED the woman closely. He folded his arms atop of the counter and tilted his body forward, closing the distance a little between them. “Go ahead, kick me out. I’d LOVE to see that.”

Kate narrowed her eyes at him, wanting nothing more than to wipe that obnoxious smirk off his face. “Yeah, that is so,” she confirmed, leaning forward against the counter as well. “You think I won’t? I might be small and harmless, but my brother is scary and he’s just one phone call away. I’d love nothing more than to see him throw you out on your ass.”

Isaac arched a brow at the shorter female as a sly smirk stretched his lips. He placed a shell down upon the counter and curled a finger back and then FLICKED it forward, the shell then flying through the air in the direction of her head. “— What was that?”

Kate held out her hand to shield her face as fast as she could when she realized what he was doing—just not fast enough to stop the shell from hitting her forehead. Her mouth fell open, both offended and shocked at the balls on this guy. “I’m cutting you off. Nope, worse, I’m kicking you out.”

“I offered you grape juice shirtless. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to get better than that, it’s literally every girl’s dream,” Sawyer responded, plopping onto the couch, still refusing to put on a shirt. “Oh, please. Like that would be embarrassing. My abs would only make you INSTA-FAMOUS and we both know it.”

“First of all, grape juice is disgusting,” she stated matter-of-factly. “Second of all, it’s definitely not my dream. I have a little more ambition than that.” Kate rolled her eyes, realizing that a picture of him shirtless would probably get ten times the likes her usual cat pictures got. “My followers enjoy my content, thank you very much. If you’re willing to pause shirtless with my cat, however, I’d be open to it.”

Holding the wash cloth in one hand, Kate pointed her finger at the person who has just sat down at the bar in an attempt to look menacing. “I just wiped down that counter.” She leaned over the counter and looked at them through narrowed eyes, still trying to look scary enough so they would listen. People rarely took her seriously, even when she was standing behind the bar and handling the alcohol, meaning she had to get a little creative when she wanted people to pay attention. “I swear if you get peanut shells all over it, I’m cutting you off.”
