do you… trust me?

fromgallows-
MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @inexiled : 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.

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @inexiled : { 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.

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @inexiled : 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. ( .. ) i'm andi. you can call me anything besides shit like carrottop or molly :/ * seeing the coolest person ever comment on my mb was a world ending moment. tbh.

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. / i have no idea. i sure as hell was!!

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @inexiled : uh... thanks ? { how long has it been since anyone in this shithole actually gave someone a genuine compliment ? andi doesn't mask the look she wears the same way beverly does, loose locks tumbling over freckled features as she looks the other over. } i'd probably like it more if people would stop calling me molly fuckin' ringwald. * who isn't a little in awe of their future best friends ,, truly ,,

@fromgallows- 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?"

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @runoutofwax : i have a natural defense against bullshit. { with this flippant remark andi leans back in her chair, reminiscent of a youthful wildfire even as she sinks into the familiarity of the elder. } besides, it does me good now. i deal with some shitty people on a consistent basis.

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @judasteels : doesn't matter. get the fucking mutt under control or i'm feeding her to the trailer park strays. { with a pointed glare andi juts her chin out, a hallmark of defiance delivered with blue eyes and braided pigtails. } she comes after bev again, i'm making sure the next time she comes here is on crutches. * he's so forgiven ,, please excuse her. she's got the opposite issue & is deeply protective of beverly

you’re acting like you’ll get herpes from sitting next to me. / sorry,, their immaturity,,

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @trashesclown : it's a rare reaction that being exposed to you causes. surprised it's not nationwide yet. { with a wistful shake of her head andi fakes a sigh, closing her eyes emphatically. } there's no cure. the doctor said it's my body's defense against dumbasses.

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @trashesclown : not herpes. gonorrhea. { with that blunt statement made andi sits down *across* from richie, resigning to the cruel fate of a tight space rather than letting him win. } how do i know you're not std'ing the place up? everyone might leave here with crabs. * your best friend (unfortunately) ,,

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @trashesclown : { the remark silences andi for a fleeting moment, ghosts peeking from the corners of her brain to whisper soft choruses of 'does he know' before she forces them back where they belong, shaking her head once richie looks away. that's not the fucking issue right now. } i'm (not) swearing on lonnie's life ,, but i swear on mine and my entire music collection that i won't tell a soul. shit, i'll even throw in manny — you know how serious that is, (tozier).

i’m not gonna, like, beat you. [ he rolls his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes. he glances away- he doesn’t want to show a sign of weakness to andi. ] o-okay. i guess i should tell someone. if i tell you something, you gotta swear on like- my sisters fuckin’ life that you won’t tell anybody. otherwise, i’ll run you and your sister out of this town. okay? i’m fucking serious, marsh.

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @trashesclown : pretend ? { with a small scoff andi rolls her eyes, drumming her fingers against the pale skin of her knee. lonnie was right again. he really is an idiot. } get real, richie. if i was pretending to care about you, i would've called your shit out in front of everyone like an asshole. i followed you because you're obviously feeling like shit, and if you're gonna lash out on anyone about it, i'm your best bet. * please ,, oh my god ,,

( @fromgallows- ) 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.

MEMORIES FEEL LIKE WEAPONS, @inescaping- : it's been tempting. bigshot author with a fat wallet would be an ideal target, especially when i was your age. { it doesn't take much to piece together the information she's been given, the look of surprise quickly replaced with something a little easier. } you're his kid then? ( .. ) nice to meet you. i'm andi — he and i ran in this circle together.

( @fromgallows- ) wish i could say the same for my red. it's kinda hard to keep up a dye job. [ mari shrugs with nonchalance, absentmindedly fiddling with the sleeve of her shirt. ] don't think so. unless you stole bill's wallet, he keeps a picture of me in there.
