easily  r e s e m b l i n g  a  KICKED  puppy dog, she stares in an  ( amiss )  manner  ;  hoping the simple expression could dismiss her wrongdoing.      ‘   babe, listen to me. i’d  NEVER  do anything to get us separated.  ‘    charlotte knows that mia is one of the few people she  TRULY  cares about   &   she couldn’t  ( risk )  losing her over things she couldn’t afford.    ‘  i promise i won’t get  CAUGHT , okay  ?  i’m doing this for you.   ‘   her smile is weak   &   she starts to  ( reach )  her hand out to grab the brunette’s. 

     AS MUCH AS MIA craves charlotte’s touch -- and god, does she crave it right now -- she flinches away from her hand, disappointed frown set firmly on her pouty lips. ‘ you don’t know that, char. you don’t know you won’t get caught. you just think you won’t because - because you think you’re invincible and you’re not okay? you will get caught. please... please just listen to me. you can’t do this anymore. i don’t need nice things -- especially not if this is the way you’re going to get them.’ 

“ it’s … you ? for fuck’s sake, i thought it was him. but the question’s still valid – what are you doing here ? “

     ‘ IF YOU THINK i’d let him within twenty feet of you, you’re insane. just wanted to see you is all. not a crime, is it? ’

Charles Bukowski, Factotum (via gamerspirit)

             ‘  this is all your  FAULT !   if you hadn’t of wanted to stop at the damn pet store we wouldn’t have gotten the car ( stolen ) . ‘    he’s  b e y o n d  pissed at the other walking next to him, they’ve been walking for a good fifteen minutes  &  this is the first time he’s  SPOKEN  up since they’ve begun their  j o u r n e y back to is place.   ‘  i don’t know why i even  listen to you sometimes, i knew we should have just went home instead of going into that  SHADY ass place. ‘

     ‘ LOOK, I’M SORRY, okay? i’m sorry. i... i just wanted to see the dogs,’ dash mutters underneath his breath, half relieved and half terrified that the other boy has finally broken the thick veil of silence shrouding them. his intentions were good, they really were --- and how could he have possibly known someone would steal the car? ‘ we’ll get it back, we just have to call the cops. we’ll get it back. don’t stress. ’

           ‘ i HEAR what you’re  s a y i n g , babe , but you got it all ( wrong ). i’m doing this so i can buy you pretty things. ‘  her intentions aren’t NEARLY as bad as the acts she is  c o m m i t t i n g , so she’ll nonchalantly speak of the subject. ‘  it’s not like i’m going to get caught, i’m really careful. ‘  

     ‘ NO --- no! ’ it's hard to contain her exasperation, her face a clear picture of shock. ‘ stealing is wrong. it - it doesn’t matter why you’re doing it! you - that - that isn’t an excuse! you could get caught and then you’d end up in prison and i’d have to write to you like one of those sad jail-bird wives and - and you’d do awful in prison so please --- no more, okay? ’

“ what the fuck are you doing here ? can’t you see i’m busy ? “

     ‘ WELL, SOMEONE’S NOT in the best of moods today. aren’t you happy to see me? ’

“you’re absolutely ridiculous, keenan. i honestly don’t know what i saw in you, you act like you’re some big, bad boy.”

     ‘ I CAN TELL YOU right now --- i’m charming, funny, witty, and insanely good looking. what’s not to like? i don’t act like anything, babe. what you see is what you fuckin’ get. ’

“oh, that’s the biggest lie i’ve ever heard. stop trying to make yourself seem like a perfect angel.”

    ‘ YOU CLEARLY DON’T LISTEN to yourself when you speak, then --- not that i blame you. nearly all of it’s rubbish anyway. i am an angel. i’ve done nothing wrong. ’
