            i  do.   {  this  time  the  reassurance  comes  easier,   her  words  an  uncharacteristically  hesitant  slip down  the  rolling  hill  that  lonnie  has  unknowingly  urged  her  down.   she's  not  going  to  repeat  the  words  verbatim;  if  she  tries,   she  may  feel  that  sinking  feeling  all  over  again,  may  need  to  run,  may  need  to  escape  before  lonnie  can  take  this  and  use  it  as  a  chiseling  tool.   she  won't.   but  she  could,  and  that's  enough  reason  to  be  cautious.  
            or,  it  was. 
            the  sentiment behind  the  gesture  makes  something  bind  tight  in  her chest,   offering  a  half-strained  smile  of  gratitude.  }    i  have  you.   and  the  others  too,   i  guess,   but ,,  i  tell  you  more  than  i  tell them.     ( .. )    i  think  you're  my  best  friend,   lons.  you  don't  have  to  worry  about  me  trusting  you.

[  she feels wrong for asking this question.  knowing how many people have worn down andi,  carved her into this sharp statuette that doesn’t want help from anyone or anything.  and yet,  she still asks it.  alana doesn’t know why.  maybe she needs reassurance-  the knowledge that andi won’t slip from her grasp,  in a world where it feels like she has nothing left except for her friends.  no one left to try and hold onto.  ]  i-i trust you too.  a lot.  i think even more than i trust stan,  sometimes.  [  it’s hard to admit-  but sometimes,  it feels like andi is the only person in the world who could truly get her and her emotions.  she doesn’t have to try or explain.  ]  but-  i don’t know.  i just wanted to make sure.  i don’t like the idea of you not having anyone other than bev.

            {  the  question  hits  her  like  a  bullet.
            trust  is  bigger  than  love.   anyone  can  say  they  love  you —   fuck,   alvin  looks  her  in  the  eye  and  says  it  all  the  time —  but  nothing  has  to  be  shown  for  it.   love  is  as  easy  of  a  word  as  acquaintance.   it's  simple.
            trust  is  not.
            andi  feels  herself  hesitating,   a  clear  waver  from  the  nonchalance  she's  currently  trying  to  project.   ten  months  ago,   the  question  would  make  her  laugh —  bev  was  the  only  person  left  to  trust.   now...   }   i..   ( .. )    fuck.   i  mean,   i —   i  guess  so.   a  hell  of  a  lot  more  than  bill.    {  which  isn't  saying  a  goddamn  thing,   something  andi  knows  they  both  are  fully  aware  of.   she  nearly  wants  to  punch  herself  for  being  so  hesitant  about  it,   but  right  now,   a   pinch of  her  nose  can  suffice.  }    no,   uh,   yeah.   yeah,  i..   i  trust  you.

            i've  been  called  that  more  than  my  name.   one  of  my  teachers  tried  nicknaming  me  ringwald   :/    {  at  the  sight  of  her  smile  andi  almost  wants  to  grin  back,   the  sight  infectious  despite  how  she  feels  more  and  more  tense  as  the  sun  ever  so slowly  creeps  across  the  sky.  }    lonnie  tozier's  a  cool  name.   like  kate  bush  or  joan  jett.

if i were you,  i’d take it as a compliment.  she’s cool as hell,  and pretty.  but it probably gets annoying.  [  she beams proudly,  nodding her head.  ]  my name is alana,  but everyone i know calls me lonnie or lon.  […]  i guess you can call me that if you want,  but-  y’know,  it’s up to you.

            With an amused scoff, Tic leans further against the wall, back practically flush against it. "It always did you good, whether it seemed like it or not." His brows furrow, gaze aimed at the floor for a few seconds before bouncing back to her. "But, uh, what kind of people are you talkin' about? Can't be much worse than here, right?"

            mhm, mari. i borrowed his card to get here.   [  'borrowed' is a strong claim for something that was done entirely without dad's permission. in her defence, he'd have more money to spare if he took her up on all the good ending ideas his daughter wrote and offered to him. mari shuffles her feet, one hand moving up to absentmindedly pick at the skin on her right cheek. ]   's funny. dad calls me annie all the time. maybe if i stick around you he'll stop to make it less confusing.  ( .. )    my name's actually marianne, but i hate it. so please don't. mari's enough.   [  who knew dad had cool friends. ]    really?   don't tell him i said this but, you seem more like a leader than he does.
