“i know you didn’t just try sneaking out of here without your coat and hat.”
“I– I SHOULD BE HOME BY NOW.” they weren’t supposed to sneak out, at all. in fact they shouldn’t even be outside. it was an odd mix of emotions. being able to REBEL but the fear of being CAUGHT & PUNISHED. while helen quietly encouraged them to break out of the forced boundaries, corey was still the ‘alpha’ in the cherk residence.
“i, um– i’m sorry, rachel. but– if- if my father finds out i’m not home, then i’m going to be in A LOT OF TROUBLE.” they’re quick to grab their hoodie and beanie ( a gift from her, it was soft. ), almost tempted to throw themselves out of her window and get home as quickly as possible. even without a means of safe transportation.
“but, uh– i- i’ll see you at school tomorrow, right? if- if i’m alive by then.” THAT WASN’T EVEN A JOKE. something was up with them, and they weren’t sure if the blonde actress put the pieces together yet or not. it was a cry for help.
