True Grit

"It's not this gun that gives me my nerve. I've had it long before I ever picked up a gun."

it’s strange, how things happen and they don’t turn out like you think they will.

i’m sorry we fought.

a little sleep and you’ll be as good as new.

aren’t you going to eat?

you’ve got to live.

and that’s a kind of love. having somebody do that for you.

because it’s snowing. hard.

you’re awake. how do you feel? 

drink it hot so it gets down.

thank you for saving me.

you’re still here.

it’s nothing to worry about. you go to sleep.

i was afraid.

there isn’t much time to be a kid out here.

you rest for now.

don’t die.

kind of cut my arm. a little.

damn, it seems like yesterday.

but life has a way of pulling the rug out from under you just when you need it least.

i fought sleep as hard as i could.

you can’t stay here, you’ll die.

there was beauty then – beauty and love. then it all went to hell.

i’ll stay as long as it takes, as long as you need me.

just double-checking to make sure there isn’t anything wrong.

i know, i know. it’s all right now.

what time is it?

you’ll spend the night.

don’t worry – it’s all over now.

go away. leave me alone.

it seems like everything they call growing up has to jerk your guts out and just about wreck you and i’ve never been able to understand why that’s supposed to be good for you. 

it just sounded dumb to me.

which made what happened a lot harder to live with, i can tell you.

sometimes it would be nice if life just kept happening the way it’s happening, if things got to a good place and just stayed there, didn’t change.

they have to try or it was all for nothing, and nobody likes to do something all for nothing.

this place gives me the creeps.

it’s dumber than falling in love and freezing your ears until the lobes almost fall off.

i think it’s sad. that’s what i think.

always ask the second question. don’t just ask why, but why why? 

i figured you’d need a colorful picture to look at – cheer you up.

so nothing. never mind.

i just wanted to see you, i guess, talk to you.

we’re about the same age but you act a lot more grown up. 

there was no way to tell it was going to happen the way it happened, no way to stop it, really, even if i’d known it was coming.

i was thinking of a time and place that you couldn’t understand and should never have to understand.

I hate it when people ask “do you trust me” like …don’t call me out like that ……..the answer is no

“you wasn’t made for fun. that’s my department.”

After Hadrian left, the Atomic Wrangler bounced from act to act. Tonight, the Garret twins had found a singer, one of those crooner types, and it had an interesting effect on the Wrangler’s patrons. As the act went on people started to pair off and the modest dance floor was being used for just that. An odd occurrence for a crowd that was usually one dirty look away from a brawl.

The whole scene brought the slightest smile to Erin’s face, especially when she noticed the glances from a woman at one of the tables. But the smile fades with the dull, aching reminders of the lead she’s picked up in the last few months. The pain in her head and knee sour any thoughts she had of taking part in the fun. With a grunt, she turned on her stool to face the bar, and her drink.

“Like hell I ain’t.” His words caught her off-guard, and her response came out more indignant than she intended.
