━ continued from here for @levelhcaded .

OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW , claire is begging the weather gods to not let it rain. but there is a loose strand of hair falling in and out of her eyes simply because the wind is vicious -- A STORM IS BREWING . nothing like a horrendous downpour to really tie together the fact they are now surviving another outbreak. AGAIN .

claire's hand reaches up to cradle rochelle's jawline , mostly just to take a look to see if everything is good -- she just pauses. CLAIRE'S HEAD TURNS TO SWIVEL TOWARDS THE DOOR . then slowly turns back to the one window in the room. they're still relatively secure for now. that window has bars , that door is heavy metal. IT'S SORT OF A SAFE ROOM . until they leave.

" yeah , it's a lot. we have a little bit to find composure. "

[levelhcaded]

rochelle huffs a breath out through her nose , a bitter little laugh catching in her throat as she leans slightly into claire’s touch—not enough to seem needy , just enough to acknowledge it . fingers twitch against the grip of her submachine gun , the safety already off . she’s trying not to grind her teeth .

" little bit ain’t enough time to fix how fucked this all is , " rochelle mutters , eyes flicking toward the barred window as thunder grumbles low in the distance . " but i'll take it . "

she pulls away gently , running both hands down her jeans to wipe the clammy sweat off her palms . posture’s tight—shoulders squared , jaw clenched—but her voice stays low , steady .

" i thought savannah was bad , but this ? feels like déjà vu with more teeth . "

"I'm not the same."

"I just want to be loved."

"Am I a fool to wait for you?"

"Thought I loved enough for two."

"We were never meant to be apart."

"I wanna be the man you think I am."

"I swear I've given more than I can take."

"Season after season nothing changes."

"You're in my arms, but out of my hands."

"How can you tell me our love wasn't real?"

"What can I do to make you want me too?"

"I can't take it, can't make it, all by myself."

"I've got someone to hold but not to have."

"It hurts so much to love someone so bad."

"Is it too much to ask for just one quiet day?"

"What I felt there and then, I feel here and now."

"I'm coming home on the road to where you are."

"In a world so wide we're even more of a miracle."

"I know I'll do anything I can to be what you see."

"Do you know who I am? Do you know how I feel?"

"No more running from the man that I've become."

"I tell myself to hold on tight, any day now it'll be alright."

"You're a treasure in my hands and it defies understanding."

"When it feels like the end of the world my dear, I need you here."

"I'll take the world upon my back, until you find the love you lack."

"I wonder how did I ever have the faith to know you were waiting?"

"You say all is well, but I can tell the same old thing is on your mind."

"Every night I pray it's getting better, but I find it's only getting worse."

"Like a song, so hard to forget her, she's stuck inside my head all day."

"You say I've changed, that I'm a different man, but it's just a different time."

"Every time I turn another corner, seems that someone else is doing wrong."

"Call me crazy, call me selfish - you can call me anything you need to call me."

"What can I do to help you understand, when I can't get you out of your mind?"

"I'll take the world upon my back if that's what it takes to help you ease your pain."

"Now as we say goodbye to one of our own, we may be lonely but we're not alone."

"It was there on your face, you saw me not just as I am, but the way I've always wanted to be."

"I was lost, I was found, yeah you turned me upside down, in a way I've always wanted to be."

"Is it too much to ask for just one quiet night? Where I see no ghosts and I never turn on the light."

I  wasn't  expecting  you  to  be  you.

did  we  just  have  our  first  fight?

aren't you tired of all of this?

do  you  think  you're  the  only  one  capable  of  getting  hurt?

please,  nothing  frightens  you.

aren't  you  tired  of  all  of  this?

most  of  all,  I  hate  you  because  I  think  of  you.  often.  It's  disgusting,  and  I  can't  stop.

you can die slowly cut into a thousand pieces.

i  could  easily  forgive  his  pride,  if  he  had  not  mortified  mine.

have  I  told  you  how  hideous  you  look  tonight?

if  you  hurt  me,  I  wouldn't  cry.  I  would  hurt  you  back.

i  am  going  to  keep  on  defying  you.

i  hate  you  so  much  that  sometimes  I  can't  think  of  anything  else.

my  sweet  nemesis,  how  glad  I  am  that  you  returned.

you  really  are  terrible,  you  know  that?  I  don't  even  understand  why  the  things  you  say  make  me  smile.

these  violent  delights  have  violent  ends.

kiss  me  or  kill  me,  you  can't  do  both.

if i cannot have your love, i will have your fury.

you  can't  do  it.  you  can't  kill  me.

you  know  what  the  worst  part  was?  pretending  I  loved  you.

you  are  cruel  even  in  love.  i  ought  to  hate  you.

I'd  spend  a  lifetime  at  the  tip  of  your  blade,  and  it  would  be  worth  it.

so  that's  why  you  so  readily  agreed.  know  your  enemy,  right?

the  most  worthwhile  and  difficult  lesson  is  to  love  your  enemy.  they're  often  a  reflection  of  you.

i'll  take  anything  over  days  of  silence.

you  may  not  think  I  can  feel,  but  that  doesn't  mean  I  can't  see  feelings  in  others.

you’ve  changed  me  for  the  better,  and  even  if  you  left  me,  I  would  still  have  that.

how  swiftly  you  dismiss  our  love.

i  am  not  the  love  you  knew  before.

would  you  fall  in  love  with  me  again  if  you  knew  all  I've  done?

hurt  more  lives  than  I  can  count  on  my  hands  but  all  of  that  was  to  bring  me  back  to  you.

I  couldn't  let  you  sacrifice  yourself  for  me.

I  wouldn't  want  to  marry  anybody  who  was  wicked,  but  I  think  I'd  like  it  if  he  could  be  wicked  and  wouldn't.

as  sick  as  it  sounds,  i  loved  you  first.

do  you  think  that  I  want  to  be  in  this  position?  contending  with  these  thoughts  of  wanting  to  be  nowhere  except  with  you.

even  when  I  didn't like you,  I  lusted  for  you.  It's  the  most  maddening,  beguiling,  damnable  thing,  but  there  it  is.

you  are  the  bane  of  my  existence,  and  the  object  of  all  my  desires.

I  have  never  met  anyone  like  you.  It  is  maddening,  how  much  you  consume  my  very  being.

all the horrors were for love.

what  are  you  going  to  do  to  me?

'' oh my gosh . . .

taking a deep breath , she steadies herself before speaking , '' keith , can you please calm down ? '' she asks , tone patient but firm , hoping—perhaps in vain—that he would actually listen this time .

"Sorry, sorry! I'm just so excited to see my best friend again. It's been a while, y'know? I've missed all the fun shit we used to do! Like this one time--"

And there he goes rambling on about some tale of him and Ellis again.

[levelhcaded]

rochelle exhales sharply through her nose , closing her eyes for a second as she gathers what little patience she has left . she loves ellis—truly , she does—but adding another hyperactive boy into the mix ? it’s like putting gasoline on an already raging fire .

she pinches the bridge of her nose before cutting keith off . '' keith , '' she says , voice firm but not unkind , '' i am real happy that you two got your reunion going on , but i swear , if you don’t keep your voice down , we're gonna have more than just zombies crashing this party . ''

“I don’t need a break. I’m okay.”

“It was my fault. It was all my fault.”

“I think I need help.”

“So, I don’t think I’m dying, or anything, and it’s probably not that serious, but… I’m kinda bleeding. A lot.”

“Is the room spinning right now, or is that just me?”

“No, I’m okay, I just… I hit my head. Really hard. I’ll be okay, just give me a second.”

“I’m not sick! I’m fine!”

“No, I don’t think any of my bones are broken, or anything like that. Just bad bruises.”

“Yeah, but you should see the other guy.”

“I’m fine. This just happens sometimes. It’s normal for me.”

“I’ve got a headache.”

“Seriously, though, I’m fine! Stop making such a big deal out of it!”

“I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time. I don’t need your help, and I definitely don’t need your pity. Fuck off.”

“If you’re not going to take care of yourself, at least let me do it for you!”

“I’m sorry. I know it hurts.”

“You’re not alone, baby. You never have been.”

“Let’s get you some food.”

“You’re dead on your feet, poor thing. Come on, you need some sleep.”

“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.”

“Tell me where it hurts.”

“How many times have I told you to be more careful?!”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m right here, okay? I’m not gonna leave you. I’m never gonna leave you.”

“Oh, honey, you’re safe now. I promise. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”

“Go ahead and take a shower. I’ll fix you something to eat.”

“What happened to you, baby?”

“I’ll kill that bastard. I’ll kill him for what he did to you.”

“You look like shit, man.”

“Whoa, whoa, take it easy! You got pretty banged up back there, and you don’t want to go making yourself worse.”

“I’m not trying to baby you. It’s called taking care of my friends.”

“Sweetheart, you’re burning up! Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were sick?”
