A couple of simple sketches of the main protagonists of The Graveyard Shift, Wesley Stevens (left) and Heath Patterson (right).

I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better

That Maddie is a lot more interesting once she’s her own person, and not just half of one couple. And of course, with a lot more alcohol in her system, even the hallways look like roads to her–– she’s a hoot.  And Wesley? Why he’s a stallion when he’s not shackled to just one bed post. 

       “I love that Wesley is dependable, and kind, and an overall really good guy. I hate that he doesn’t see it. I also hate that he and Maddie have, you know.. whatever. It kinda sucks ‘cause I loved them together, you know? They almost gave me hope. Almost. But what’s worse is that their friendship is on standstill and it makes it kinda hard. I hate seeing them that way. That’s — yeah, that’s what I hate about him right now.” 

[ text ]: Thanks for the mental picture, Wes. -_-
