forever homeless but I had to

[chiefswan]

I don't really get what's going on here, but you seem like a nice enough kid, so I'll make you a deal: I'll let you get this - whatever this is - out of your system, if you promise you'll go back to...doing whatever it is that you do here, with whoever it is that you usually do all this funny business with.

... It's not my business what you get up to in your spare time, as long as you're not breaking the law by doing it. That's your parents' job.

[That's the best thing about Charlie. He doesn't hover.

Seeing this, here? Bella has to smile. You know, the... Bella kind of smile, where the corner of her mouth turns, and her gaze flickers, just slightly upward.]

I'm not sure deals work here, Ch..-- [A pause. Ahem.] Dad.

and omg I forgot to say ilu too I am the worst

[chiefswan]

[ Oh, look, now it's his business. ] You're in this place too, Bells?

aww :') <3

[hatestherain]

[Hey, even so, she's still glad to see him. Really! Even if she might not admit it out loud.]

Wherever it is.

no you <333

[chiefswan]

[ And the feeling's mutual. That goes without saying, right? ]

So you don't know either, huh. Well, at least we found each other. I'll find a way to get us out of here and back home in no time. [ Because maybe she was worried about that. ]

psshhh no u <333

[hatestherain]

[Her relief, though, was only destined to be short-lived; temporary distraction can only do so much. Just as quickly as her fraction of a smile had appeared, it now fades. Because it hits her, with renewed force, where she isn't. Home. Home, where reminders of her pain lurk around every corner. Crushing reminders, ones that continually punch through her chest. In theory, it'd be a difficult place to be in.

But it's the only place she can't be away from. To be there is to affirm it was real. The longer she stays away, the more that affirmation slips from her grasp.]

Yeah. [She pauses for an awkward nod, her gaze now dropping to the ground.] Yeah, of course.

[easy_a]

[Pffft. Pfffffffffffffffft. Pardon Alisha while she gets in a good laugh.]

You really think these muns follow laws?

[raincoatruinedit]

I'm pretty sure taking folks against their will is breaking the law.

[Leah is just going to fold her arms and looks at him as he speaks. Okay, she really is trying to be nice to him for her mothers sake and since she does want to be a cop sometime in the future it might do well to be nice to him too. So, she bites back the hundreds of sarcastic remarks she could think of and simply settles for:]

Deals don't work with them, they don't listen. At least mine doesn't.

Forgive me for my AU!Carlisle

Good to see you're sticking to your duty, even here, Chief Swan.
