hellspublicist:
“ so . . . ” she began after what felt like a beat too long. “ can i ask how you’re doin’ ? ” his answer wasn’t going to stop her from asking —- the concern , the anxiety , had run its course & made a permanent home within the walls of her heart long before she crossed the ohio state line. it didn’t waver when she drove past maeve’s house & it sure as hell wouldn’t waver in the face of @list10ed. fingers quickly grab the lighter to her left , flicking it on & running it over the cracked seam of the freshly rolled blunt before tossing it into her lap. " i mean really doin’ & not the bullshit story you pitched to me when i first arrived. “⋮⋮ sc.
how’s he doing ? a question he doesn’t know the answer to, not a real answer anyway. “ i’m lost in all honesty. ” shoulders shrug slightly as he sinks into the couch, watching her with the blunt. as most people know, liam’s more of a drinker than a smoker but anything to calm his racing brain at this point. “ my brain just won’t stop, you know ? well . . . it hasn’t stopped since i came back but it’s like harder for me to settle down these days if i don’t have a drink in my hand. ” he admits, although it’s not like lennon wouldn’t know anyhow. the whiskey smell that mixes with his cologne only makes it more obvious. “ how are you doing ? do you have any thoughts about all of this ? ”

@list10ed 🔪’d the ♡ ! ( ‘22 edition )
lavender isn’t sure what she’s doing standing there . hell high school . her stomach twists uncomfortably as she’s suddenly hit by memories of the day they’d all found the names scrawled in blood , contrasting against the pale wall . seven people were now dead . lavender’s name is next on the list . she knows she should leave . easton’s funeral had come & gone , & there’s nothing left for her to do in this godforsaken town . but she’d always been stubborn , & can’t bring herself to pack her bags , get her fiancé & hightail out of there . not until she has some answers . maybe it’s the fact she knows she’s up next , but lavender can’t shake the feeling that somebody’s watching her . blue eyes dart around , checking her surroundings in search for anything or anyone out of place . thankfully , she finds nothing . with a sigh , the blonde begins walking towards her car . maybe a hot shower will help her relax some . a long cuddle session with justin might also do the trick .
she takes a total of five steps before she spots him . of course she does . she’d recognize that stupid hair of his anywhere , she thinks somewhat fondly . lavender has seen enough photos of him throughout these thirteen years to know how he looked like now . despite the beard & the broody look on his face , she knew that , deep down , he was still the nerdy boy she’d fallen in love with when she was just a kid . her feet carry her over to where he’s standing , until she’s close enough to touch him if she wants to . she doesn’t . wiping her suddenly clammy hands on the sides of her jeans before crossing her arms around her chest , lavender whispers , “ liam ? ”
he’s propped up on the hood of his car that sat in the school parking lot. luckily, it was a saturday & there weren’t many cars or people around. he doesn’t even know why he’s here, why he’d come to the one place in this town that would only bring up bad memories. memories that would make him shiver, even on a warm day like today. maybe he’s here to think, think back on any clues he may have missed in the last thirteen years. maybe he’s here to just face his fear of actually being here. or maybe he’s just avoiding going to visit his parents. whatever the reason, liam wouldn’t be moving from this spot anytime soon.
there’s no doubt in his mind that he should get the fuck out of town & go right back to cambridge. & yet, here he sat, eating a snickers bar on the hood of his car while his tired eyes looked up at the very wall that once had his & his classmates names plastered across it in blood. a shiver. liam’s quick to realize a shadow is walking towards him, head turning to see if he knew who it was. he has to blink a few times, to make sure his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him. it sure as hell wasn’t. he’s quick to tense up, body suddenly feeling like a brick hit him. he looks anywhere but at her. calloused fingers grab the candy wrapper, scrunching it up for no reason other than to fake busy, so she wouldn’t know he was staring at her while she was walking over. & then she stops, blocking his sunlight. a knot forms in the males stomach, it only twisting further when she says his name. “ lav . . . lavender. ” throat clears & he nods slowly. “ wow, um. . . it’s been. . . um. how are you ? ”

❝ honestly i can’t sleep, so if you wanna stay up with me? ❞
❝ i don’t sleep a lot either these days. we can be insomniacs together. ❞
❝ well, i can think of some ways to wear you out. ❞
❝ if you can’t sleep, there are other things we could do. ❞
❝ i’d rather fuck than stare at the ceiling counting sheep to be honest. ❞
❝ it doesn’t have to mean anything, i just don’t wanna feel lonely tonight. and i want to feel good for once. ❞
❝ please don’t go— i need. i need someone— i need you. ❞
❝ the night doesn’t have to end here, you know. ❞
❝ i like it when you’re here. so stay. please? ❞
❝ you’re just as lonely as i am. might as well be lonely together. ❞
❝ you can stay but i’m not letting you sleep on that couch. ❞
❝ chivalry is overrated, get in my bed. ❞
❝ you’re clearly exhausted. you can go in the morning. ❞
❝ you don’t have to pretend to be fine, if you need me to stay i will. ❞
❝ when i said i wanted everyone to leave me alone i didn’t mean you. i can’t handle everyone else right now but you…you’re different. ❞
❝ you need someone right now. and i’m the one that’s here. let me be what you need. ❞
