(I just have one more sorry) Leo, how would you feel if you saw Parker again? What would you do?
truth serum
“I–” Leo’s mouth snaps shut, his expression incredulous, before he accepts that this is the question. He sets his jaw, releasing a tense breath. “I like to think I would stand up to him, but... You know that feeling of dread, that weighs your stomach down and distorts your vision and you can’t really think beyond the terror of the moment?” He swallows. “I think it would be that, probably. If he didn’t see me, I hope that I would be able to move and just... get away as quietly as I could.” He shrugs. “If he did see me, I guess I’d probably freeze. I don’t think I could speak to him, or stand up to him, or do anything but... prepare myself for the worst.
“I’m not actually supposed to interact with previous buyers at all, in the event that I see them. But I don’t think... No– I know Parker won’t let it go at that. He’ll do something. I just hope... if that happens, I hope we are in a public place and I’ll probably just wait for it to end, I guess. For him to get bored of... of whatever he decides to do.”
In his lap, his fingers are shaking.
“But that probably won’t happen again, right?” He looks at Luke and Luke nods, squeezing his hand.
“Right.”

FYI: Tumblr Break
Starting tomorrow at some point, I will be taking a break from this hot mess fandom.
This is long overdue as I observe the state of the world, my spirit is weighed down as I waste time here rather than doing something of real impact for myself and those around me.
During this time I will not be keeping tabs on anything nor checking in. The squad knows how to reach me if needed.
I am planning on returning by the end of the week but we shall see how much I enjoy the break and how my interaction with this never-changing cesspool is affected by my detox.
I may post non-1D related things or I may do a complete tumblr break.
Regardless, this is an FYI because this fandom loves to come up with BS and I am never the one.
My dad just got home from work. I can't believe how everything went down for me in the past 24 hours. I woke up at 12 am to go pee. So I had an erratic sleep. I slept for 1 hour, got up to pee and then went back to sleep. But now my head is throbbing with a headache, my legs feel chilly and cold, my stomach and my hemorrhoids have been bothering me for ages and I'm just uncomfortable.
I keep thinking I feel an urge to masturbate. Do I actually feel it naturally, or am I obsessing and making it happen? The answer is probably the latter, but it's impossible to say that confidently. All I know is that I'm really frustrated. sigh...
Matt and Betty are spending a lot of time together and Betty is missing her alone time. They must be breaking up soon!
