“ my point is , ” twirls vape between index and thumb , " that you deflect when you want to avoid answering real questions . " she should know — on the other side of interrogations with her parents , she’s hardly forthcoming . a queen of deflection and avoidance . usually doesn’t mind his lack of emotion , but when that’s overcome with his fist driving into her hookup’s nose , it’s not so endearing . " he pissed you off , yet you were feet away from him the whole time .. remind me again how that works . " won’t mention the slew of texts she received from homme afterward , warning her to stay away from him and all his buddies , that gio is bad news , etc. the only bad part about him that she’s seen thus far is his fucking attitude . the car runs silent after the jarring taunt she left hanging in the air , and lips are parting to offer another , when the sound of his ringtone rattles the small space , and eyes dart to see the name flash on the screen . rose . eyes flash full of auburn red hair , pale skin , arms wrapped around his neck .. and suddenly , it feels like a noose is tightening around hers . gaze is torn away as he sends the call to voicemail , ice flushing through her veins as eyes focus out of the windshield and the muscles in her jaw jump . tick , tick , tick . didn’t have any plans tonight — aside from this but now , wants to be anywhere but here . has his car always been this suffocating ? " you know , you’re right . " voice sounds foreign to her ears , too strained to be her own . " i think it was a bad batch . " feet drop from their place on the dash , and she’s grabbing her stuff off the car floor , shoving items into her bag quickly . " thanks for the ride , but i got it from here . wouldn’t want to leave your girlfriend waiting . " and she’s out of the car within under a minute , letting the door slam shut behind her .
name that lit up his screen drives mind to drift to the event that unfolded last week . familiar ginger locks waiting on the front steps of the di angelo residence — a place he’d never thought he’d see her anywhere near after the terrible things she had ran into six years ago . rose was a ghost of his past . the femme while never forgotten ( how could he ever forget someone who almost lost their life because of him ) , had long since vacated and returned the pieces of him that she took with her the night she disappeared . there were never any ill feelings towards her . knew that it was what she needed to do , considering his father would have never stopped using her to get to him . so he was sure that the thumping against his chest wasn’t caused by any lingering feelings he had for her . rather , fear that his father could come home any minute and catch them on the porch consumed him . couldn’t even think of anything else but concern for her safety , even as arms wrapped around him in a tight embrace . didn’t even registered how close she had gotten as their conversation went on , all too focused on getting her to leave , until he felt something soft against his lips . though as soon as the shock wore off , immediately pulled away . there was possibly a brief second an image of certain dark blonde female flashed in his head , along with the thought that he wished it was her instead , but the thought dispelled just as quickly . reverie is broken when stilted voice breaks the silence that had enveloped the vehicle after his phone rang . the events that happened next far from how he was expecting this night to go . and for the second time in one week , he’s found himself at a standstill . it took him ten seconds after the thump of the car door to park along a sidewalk . didn’t care if he was stopping on an illegal space or how dangerous it was , just found himself unbuckling his seatbelt and opening the door to his left , sprinting after her speeding silhouette . god , how could she walk fast in those heels ? “ what the fuck , delacroix ! ” the first thing out of his mouth as soon as he's able to catch up , pulling her back by the elbow so she’d turn and face him . “ are you fucking insane ?! what is your deal ? ”
