it didn't seem that fucking likely, alright
apparently he's easier to please than i thought

he IS an adult
i'm not just telling you this to keep you up to date on my love life
i'm not just telling you this to keep you up to date on my love life
if you'll shut up long enough for me to tell you
it's elliot
it's elliot
yeah, okay, you're right. i have no family at all so i don't get where you're coming from right now, but i'm gonna get real with you again for a second here
- i'm not a stalker. i'd never been to chinatown before that DAY
- i'm homeless because my parents skipped town leaving me in the city alone when i turned 12
- because i'm a mutant
- pyrokinesis
- (it's more than some stephen king bullshit, i can explain if you want)
- no, mutants don't go into the system when that happens if they have any sense because no human "systems" like us, not fucking one of them
- yes, this shit happens all the time. all. the. time. we run away, get kicked out, get abused to within an inch of our lives and then one of those two happens, or this. they just fuck off one night
- elliot's the first person who's ever done something for me without wanting anything back or just because he had to or to feel better about himself
- he's the first person who's ever really given a shit about me even being there, never mind what happens to me
- he's the best fucking person i've ever known
- if i hurt him in any way, you'll be the first person i call so you can come kill me for it, cause everyone before him will have been right about me
okay?

can you blame me for hiding it?
he knows by the way. that i'm a mutant and what happened with my parents. he actually tracked them down for me, they've got a new life in australia, where my dad's family moved here from. i'm really happy for them :) :) :)
and i know how everything i said sounded but it's not just about what he does for me either
[Good god, this is uncomfortable. He's shaking on his end of the conversation, thumbs slipping all over the screen of his phone. At least she didn't come and chase him out of the apartment for good like he half-expected, but all this sharing is making him queasy.
It's worth it. Just really, really uncomfortable.]
didn't i tell you ages ago that i just wanna wrap a goddamn blanket around him all the time? of course i'll take care of him

do you HAVE to make this harder when it's already the hardest thing i've ever done? i get the urge and all, we both know i have it too, but come on. cut me one break here
and i'm not ashamed for the record. they're the assholes here. i'm protecting myself when i don't tell people, cause the other way i can protect myself if they turn on me would kill them, and i don't actually wanna do that
i don't get it either

i noticed
but i don't notice you giving a single shit that a mutant's dating your brother, so you're not bad either
darlene can i ask you something? about understanding him. it's
serious

something happened awhile back and i did a really shitty job of helping him out cause i just didn't expect it. i didn't even know what was going on at first
like i didn't make it worse, i think, i hope, but i didn't make it any better. and he mostly just told me not to get involved when he came down but how the fuck do i just leave him like that?
when he starts seeing the people that aren't there

[Well, he does know who it is, but even he's not enough of an asshole to say "when he starts talking to your guys' dead dad."]
takes over
no i knew that, i knew that, he said not to talk to him cause it was too dangerous. i just didn't put it together
yeah, the fighting's what i saw. and i'm not judging him or anything, like hell i ever could with what goes on in my head.
but - you really have to just wait it out? he sounds so
[Tormented. It's fucking heart-wrenching.]

[Well. Elliot he could write off as just protecting him, but Darlene's way less attached and more pragmatic.]
yeah alright, i'll stay out of it
just be there when it's done
thanks for telling me so much
