steel

I just hate this weather.

Don't worry, so do I. Blankets and movies seem to be the only thing I'm doing nowadays.

There was nothing that Graham didn’t kick or punch in his wake. Cole, now his own brother? He just couldn’t take it anymore. All that anger had to come out somehow. He kicked and punched everything, making a mess of the place he was in, and even if his knuckles were bloody and his hands red, every muscle in his body hurting, he didn’t stop until he collapsed to the ground, on his knees, tears rolling down his cheek without stopping, screaming at the top of his lungs, a scream of pain more than anything, unable to control the tears that didn’t stop going down his cheeks.

It’s…it’s okay. We went for a walk in the woods. And we saw some vampires that must have been new to town, they had killed a woman. They wanted — they tried to attack me and we tried to fight back, Jett was trying to protect me, but I couldn’t, and they — and now he’s…

Oh. Naomi I'm so       sorry. 

I don't know. I really don't know. What happened? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to talk about it.

He’s gone…

You're impossible sometimes, Mase.

Harper, you're so dramatic sometimes.

"Oh, I know. I just didn’t see you standing there— let alone holding something like that.”

"Oh       it's not what you think. It's just, well, you know... To protect myself if it ever comes down to it."

You're drinking without me? I'm shocked, Nate.

If you         If you don’t mind me staying. I suck at making things less weird between us, don’t I?

Don't worry about it, I mean it's... definitely weird. But you know, I try not to think about it too much. 

That’s good. Uh, I can leave to      Whatever you were doing before I distracted you.

You don't have to go, you know, if you don't want. Because, you could stay. If       if you wanted.

"Woah! Okay, I’m moving."

"Thanks. I don't want to like, hurt you or anything."

Sorry, I didn’t mean to sneak up on you.

I suppose I can forgive you then. 

I know that.

You're not bothering me, Mason. I just thought      I didn't know it was you, at first.

You’re not going to shoot me, are you?

I      I could never shoot you.
