loser walks home

Go ahead, but make sure that kid doesn’t end up like you.

Better having a kid like me than having one like you.

You aren’t even worth me taking time to think of insults to throw at you. Look at the bright side: Olympus has a teen pregnancy fever going on right now, maybe you still have time to knock someone up until the end of Summer. Go on, I bet Tommy can teach you about all the wonders of daddy-hood.

Yeah, that seems like a good thing to do.  Maybe I'll get my own baby without you.  I don't need you, anyway.  I'll have a baby with someone better looking and less fucking annoying.

Last time I checked I never hid from people that I had sex with Quinn. Unlike when it happened with you, I didn’t have to feel embarrassed about it and that’s saying a lot. Cry all you want, we both know you do when your bank account gets frozen.

You're like a little kid. Throwing insults expecting them to affect me.  You're supposed to know me better than that, Hannah.  Even if my bank accounts weren't frozen, I'd still do what I usually do.  Don't worry, I will go back to my "poor excuse of a life" and yes, I'll continue on hating you for not having my baby.  Happy now? I'll do what you want for once.

I’m friends with your sister because she isn’t like you. Maybe it’s a Hades thing, being an asshole. You don’t have the right to mention Kayla’s name. Or Will’s. But just for the record, they are both alive, unlike your manners.

And clearly you have a thing for assholes, then. Everybody knows I'm not the only son of Hades you've slept with.  I have manners with people who deserve it, my ex-girlfriend doesn't fall into that category.  Oh, no, please don't remind me of how unloved I am. You're gonna make me cry.  Spare me, Hannah. Do you really think implying that my parents don't like me is gonna affect me? Try again.  We didn't talk about any reasons. I said it was a long story and I didn't wanna tell you about it--which goes back to you being quiet and mind your own life.

Yeah, I know, I got it.  Props, way to sound omimous.

Wasn't trying to sound ominous.  You're new? I don't remember seeing you here before I left.

Right, because everything has to be what you want. I care about your sister because that’s what friends do, Alec. And from what everyone can see, friends is not a word you’re used to. I didn’t tell you about having an abortion, Skye did, in case you don’t remember. But of course, Alec has always to be in charge of everything and what he says, goes. I’m the one who wants attention, but you’re the one who races so mommy and daddy dear notice you. Face it, Alec, you’re nothing but a kid who is crying out for someone to look at him. You keep saying things, but truth is you always come back. What, did you run out of blonde bimbos to fuck around?

If everything was what I wanted, then we wouldn't be having this conversation.  You're friends with your sister's ex? You really can't do any better than that?  Did all your other friends try to kill themselves like Kayla? Did Will die too?  Not everybody is like you, and not everybody has mommy and daddy issues. I race because I like it, not because I want my parents' attention.  Why I came back is really none of your fucking business and you should keep your mouth shut instead of talking about things you don't have a fucking clue about.

So you aren’t actually mad that I had an abortion, you’re mad because I didn’t play by your rules and stopped letting you boss me around. Way to go, Alec. It’s actually an “it", since it was too early to know the gender. But hey, I want that ultrasound back. My conscience is just fine, thank you very much. The fact that you have to say we’re done makes me pity you. We’ve been done for a long time in case you haven’t noticed.

I'm mad because you didn't ask. It wasn't a game, it was a future human life and you threw it away.  I can't give you the ultrasound because just like you did with the kid, I also threw it away.  We were done before? Then why the hell do you still hang around caring for my sister, where I've been, if I race, if I go to jail, if I get into a coma, if I live, if I die?  If we're done, why in the world did you ever tell me you had had an abortion?  Do you think I wanted to know? Of course I didn't.  But this is Hannah's little show and of course you had to get yourself some more attention.  Congratulations, you got your attention and made me never want to see your face again.  You always complain how I manipulated you? Fucking okay then. You're free now.  Go play games with some other bastard who isn't me.

Right, because you were always the nice guy who always listened. Don’t try to play the victim, Alec. You should live your life knowing that you were the reason your kid never lived. I don’t know which one is worse.

I would have listened to that.  I'd probably even tell you to get the fucking abortion, but at least you had had the fucking decency to ask.  But instead you went behind my back.  Honestly, that doesn't make you any better than me.  He didn't live because of me. You had the abortion, Hannah. You chose to do it. Your choice, remember?  Don't try to pin it on me.  Deal with your fucking conscience on your own.  We're done.

Oh, is Alec the big baby still mad about that? Ever heard about “my body, my choice"? Not that I had much choice, anyway. You really don’t seem like you do, because otherwise you wouldn’t do the stuff you do.

I have a choice too and my choice is to be angry.  You have the right to an abortion, and I have the right to be mad because you did whatever the fuck you wanted without even asking.  You could have even hypothetically asked, trying to find my opinion on the matter.  But no, of course. Hannah always does what she wants. But then I'm the jerk, the selfish and the big baby.  Get over yourself, Hannah.  At least I don't have to live knowing I aborted my own kid.  Bet that weights in your conscience.

How you manage to keep being a jerk still surprises me. Actually, I probably care about your sister more than you do., which only shows how much of a asshole you are.

I may be an asshole, but at least I don't kill babies.  And I do care for my sister.  But I don't owe you any explanations about my life.

Summer, yeah. I suppose everyone’s doing summer things. Whatever it is those are..Yeah I’m new enough. It’s nice to meet you, man.

Beach, basically. I think those are all the Summer things people do.  They go to the beach and just lay there like shrimps.  Who's your Godly parent, and all those things we're supposed to ask when we first meet someone?

Let me guess: more races? Come on, last time you gave Valerie an heart attack.

That's really not any of your business, is it?  If I race or not it's up to me and only me.  Valerie is fine. She survived the first time and she'll survive the next ones.  Don't act like you care.

Ha Ha, how funny. You haven’t been here for a while, that’s what I meant.

Hysterical parents, house arrest, long story. You don't wanna know and I don't wanna tell you.

Okay, man.  Maybe it’s because summer… people go home, wrong time to come back.

Yeah, probably because Summer. Most people don't choose to hang around Olympus during Summer, they have enough during the school year.  I couldn't come back earlier.  I'm Alec, by the way.

Indeed, it was. What are you doing here?

I study here.
