She paused at his voice and turned. "Hmm?"
She paused at his voice and turned. "Hmm?"
“Can I talk to you?” He looked at her hopefully.
"Um…I don't see why not." She shrugged.
He smiled, he thought she’d say no. Ryan nodded and wandered off with his hands in his pocket.
“Congratulations Belle,” he started the conversation with a note that he was indeed happy for her. Or at at least happy that she’s happy.
She smiled a little, brushing her hair behind her ear. "Thanks."
"So, I know you already but I can't handle leaving hatred between us. I never asked to be with you romantically, only to be your friend. And I know I'm not exactly your favorite person but I don't know how else to show you that I'm not like that,"
She sighed heavily. "Here's the thing. We didn't work because we don't talk. We can't. And I think I finally know why. Because we're just not compatible. And I don't just mean in a romantic sense. We're just not meant to be friends. The way I see it, our paths, our futures, don't involve each other. The only way I think we'll cross paths again is if we force it. And I'm not going to do that. Feelings don't yeild results. Facts do. I'm sorry Cooper but I don't think we're meant to ever fix what we were. But hey, it's been an interesting 8 years to know you." She smiled a little.
"Is it though?"
She sighed heavily. "Here's the thing. We didn't work because we don't talk. We can't. And I think I finally know why. Because we're just not compatible. And I don't just mean in a romantic sense.

“Belle that’s not how it works and you know that. The truss doesn’t happen to people who aren’t compatible it happens to people who match. This doesn’t work because you won’t let it and it’s literally killing me. I don’t expect you to care if you don’t want to but I can’t just say it’s been fun and walk away I’ll die if I do. You’re not one to break your promises and you promised me that you’d never leave me so why are you trying to hard to?”
"Is it though?"
“Maybe not…”
Lillian turned and gave Darren a hug, "We should go see if she knows where he is."
“Or we could go home and get ready for the party,” he smiled and hugged her back.
Lillian smiled back at him, "I like that plan better."
"Oh my God how blunt do I have to be?" She sighed. "I said it once and I'll say it again, you're the last piece of that God forsaken town that I refuse to remember that I have left. The last person that saw my sister alive besides me. It's like all the bad memories of that place are wrapped up into one person and I'd rather kill myself than confront them again. I don't believe you're a bad person, Cooper. But I do believe that the memories you force me to face is the reason why I can't, why I refuse, to let this go."

“You would rather I die then even try? I didn’t mean for this to happen, I didn’t want this for either of us and I wish I could just walk away for both of us but I can’t. I hate that you hate me, Belle and I hate that I need you but I’m sorry,”
Lillian smiled back at him, "I like that plan better."
“Perfect,” he smiled and walked towards the door to leave.
"Okay…this is going to sound stupidly simple but how do we break the truss? Maybe if that's broken then this all will go away."
“I’ll tell you but you won’t like it…”
Lillian smiled and followed after him. She looped an arm around his and walked with him.
"I don't like anything about this conversation but it's still happening so I'm used to it."
"I don't like anything about this conversation but it's still happening so I'm used to it."
He winced. “Okay we get it you hate me. Move on. The truss is so demons can reproduce so… uh. We have to have a baby together and then… it’s gone.”
Lillian smiled and followed after him. She looped an arm around his and walked with him.
He smiled. Walking to the car with her. “Did I mention you look beautiful,”
"I don't hate you. I'm just saying that if you got run over by a bus, I'd be the one driving it!" She laughed. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I don't hate you though. I'd just rather not deal with the memories that come with you. As for the breaking thing…is it weird that I'm actually thinking about it? Like, it should be an automatic no but if it means the truss is broken…hmm…"
“I could take the kid and be happy to have a part of you with me, you could live like it never happened but your first kid shouldn’t be with me it should be with him. If you don’t want me around then just let me die, why not? I’m ready. I’ve been ready since the first time you left but no, I changed for you, I bettered myself but you don’t want me so why not just let me die?”
"Because you effect everyone else in my life. Darren would become depressed and probably hate me for letting his brother die which would make Lillian hate me too and it'd become a topic that would tear Ryan and I apart and then I'd be alone…again…I don't want to be alone…" She wrapped her arms around herself, her gaze dropping to the floor.
