      ‘ and where would you GO ? d’you know of an apocalyptic paradise you’ve kept your lips sealed about ? ‘cause in all those years i spent out there, valdez was — and still is — the closest thing to resemble four seasons i’ve come across.’

       ‘ o… kay. this took an unexpected turn. —— – well, we are— you’re trying to make the most of a world that’s barely one anymore. this is home, right ? ’ 

[lecortez-blog1]

      “ sorry. right -- yeah, i am. but, things move so s l o w l y here, and i don’t ; none of us have time on our side. i - i shouldn’t be here, i can’t make a difference here. ”

“Aw, that’s cute. You think that something as silly as heat stroke will stop me from practicing my mad boxing skills. But you’re wrong. I’d do it if it were freezing too.”

[lecortez-blog1]

      “ well i can assure you you’ll be put on a boxing ban if you end up passing out from heat exhaustion. just, take it steady alright ? ”

@kavlees ; “ you look like you just crawled out of a cemetery, you smell like that, too. ”

       “ i appreciate the honesty, i guess. haven’t been sleeping well, or, at all. when you don’t sleep you start to THINK ; i don’t know what i’m doing here kaylee. ”

Ellis slipped on a thick pair of winter gloves. It was all she had, but just in case she had wrapped her knuckles with ribbons she had used for her hair when she was younger. The girl lifted both fists as she stared down her target. She leaned forward before finally making a hit.

     “ kind of HOT to be practicing don’t you think ? ”

[kavlees-blog]

         ‘ okay, sad sack; not time for pity. i’m sure she won’t— i mean, she already agreed to be your something in the first place, right? — i do, yeah. nothing better than friendship! makes the world go around. no, it’s fine. do you—– do you really think it’s possible? that he’s still out there?  ’ 

[lecortez-blog1]

        “ right, yeah ; no, you’re right. i should probably go see her again soon ---- it’s been a few days, and wow now i’m just full on talking about her, and we definitely said we were dropping the conversation five minutes ago. but thanks. glad you’ve got someone, friendship’s better than all the other stuff anyways, less COMPLICATED. well sure. don’t get me wrong, everything beyond the walls is bad, and it’s not letting up ; but your brother ? he’s practically trained for this shit. ”

‘ most people that help me end up hurt – or worse. ’

[lecortez-blog1]

   “ i’d say that’s just a consequence of a risk they were willing to take. ”

[kavlees-blog]

        ‘ —— alright, weirdo. i mean; she could do better. and by better i mean date a GIRL instead—– sapphic takeover and all that! but you know? i’m glad you have someone that makes the apocalypse seem not so bad. —– yeah, i’m sure he just went to get a pack of cigarettes. he’ll be back any second now!! — i’m not a big fan of hope when it’s false, it’s been almost ten years. ’ 

[lecortez-blog1]

      “ right, well if she ever decides she’s over my shit ; i’ll recommend her the female population of valdez. thanks kaylee. you got anyone making the apocalypse seem not so bad for you ? sorry, i didn’t mean to ---- the chances might be slim, but it’s not false hope. there’s still a chance, knowing him especially. ”

         ‘ 'cause it’s not important! ‘sides, i did tell you eric and i’s age difference, so if for some reason it is of significance and you really want to know how old i am— do the math! the offer still stands; just a little bit of judgment. —– ‘ we ’ didn’t decide on ANYTHING. the future is now, so she kinda is part of yours, no? again— it’s pretty simple. ——– maybe one day he’ll answer that himself, if he’s still out there. i don’t know. ’

[lecortez-blog1]

      “ so you’re not a teenager ? good, that’s good. well, i mean it’s -- y’know irrelevant, but just wondering is all ! fine, she’s a part of my life, and she’s more important than the average person in my life. here’s to hoping. you think he’d ever come here ? you never know, part of an escort team or something. ” 

[rectvs]

‘ help ? nah, that never turns out well for me. ’

[lecortez-blog1]

       “ why’s that ? ” 

[rectvs]

‘ i’m pretty good at handling things myself, thanks. ’

[lecortez-blog1]

“ so is everyone here, doesn’t mean you don’t need              a little HELP every once in a while. ”

[kavlees-blog]

       ‘ —— teenager? why is that your first thought? any mistakes you wanna share with the class, levi? judgment-free zone! — well, she is your friend, no? why can’t she be your girl and your friend? seems simple enough for me.  —— nope. that’s something i don’t blame him for. god knows i wouldn’t have looked back either. but, yeah. the apocalypse tends to reunite families, i guess. ’

[lecortez-blog1]

     “ yeah, no, i’m good, kaylee ; thank you for asking. & you didn’t answer my question, which is fair & valid, and not WEIRD until you made it kinda weird ! sorta, i guess ; it’s not like we have deep conversations about our future together, plus i thought we decided to DROP the talk about that. why not ? even if home-life was shit, it’s not like YOU did anything to make him hate you. ”

                                        “ cause & effect, levi. that simple. you smoke and one of the effects of that - other than dying lungs - is having people point out the harsh facts. if you couldn’t HANDLE that, then you shouldn’t have started smoking in the first place. “

[lecortez-blog1]

      “ RIGHT, because when i started smoking i made a pros& cons list. anything else you need to get off your chest about you distaste towards smoking ? ”

     she didn’t UNDERSTAND what he meant when he said ‘ together, ‘ because she didn’t plan on going crazy any time soon, but maybe something would come up. maybe it  come up  so soon that she would lose her mind faster than him. but right now, she just smiled, mostly because he seemed to. he seemed happier since she kissed him. he didn’t SLITHER away from her again, out of her G R A S P. ‘ if you want that, then yes, ‘ she replied, her lips dancing over his. it didn’t have to be so permanent; he didn’t have to panic.

        he nodded his head slowly, taking in each word that left her lips with an intense CONCENTRATION. he let his forehead rest against hers, closing his eyes once more to simulate a dream-like state ; she was the closest thing he had to feeling good. he let his lips drift delicately across her own, he hoped that feeling never subsided -- -- hoped that this wasn’t just a high that he’d eventually get used to. “ what do you want ? ” he’d asked this question before, in different ways perhaps ; always aware of the answer -- -- but his craving for affirmation never quelled, he needed to know ( over & over ), that it was him.
