"Yeah, he'll be okay." It was more to reassure herself. She didn't think it was possible for such a sad silence to fall over a house like this during a time like this.
Ryan was silent. The sounds of Darren screaming playing in his head as he leaned into Belle.
Lillian sighed and leaned back on her hands, "So could we go kill Linda now? She was kind of a bitch earlier and payback."
She squeezed his hand and leaned into him. A lifeline, an anchor to keep her tethered to reality. She stayed quiet, letting everything sink in slowly.
āDarren thought it was mom,ā Balthazar frowned, āHe had me convinced too,ā
Balthazar glanced at the painted walls, āSorry to tell you this but your boy toy is insane,ā
She squeezed his hand and leaned into him. A lifeline, an anchor to keep her tethered to reality. She stayed quiet, letting everything sink in slowly.
āNow heās really going to hate us,ā Ryan laughed, āThis concern is just fancy pity,ā
Lillian looked over to the walls with a slight smile, "Yeah. But I love him, so whatever."
She chuckled lightly. "I mean, they say politeness is just deception in pretty packaging so I'm sure you're not too far off with that."
Lillian looked over to the walls with a slight smile, "Yeah. But I love him, so whatever."
āLillian heās not doing as well as he letās on,ā Bal clenched his jaw.
Lillian frowned and turned back to Bal, "What do you mean? How is he doing? What's going on?"
She chuckled lightly. "I mean, they say politeness is just deception in pretty packaging so I'm sure you're not too far off with that."
Cooper came back though the door. His eyes glowed a deep red before returning to blue, āWhat the hell happened to Darren?ā
"Um, where do I start? You might want to ask him. He's upstairs."
Lillian frowned and turned back to Bal, "What do you mean? How is he doing? What's going on?"
āOther than today you would hardly even notice heās sick because he doesnāt want you to know. Drugs give him the munchies or whatever humans call it so he eats and it helps the headaches.ā Darren wouldnāt like anyone knowing.
"Um, where do I start? You might want to ask him. He's upstairs."
āNo heās not but Balthazar is,ā Cooper looked drained.
"Yeah, he was in so much pain I figured that. Still, I'm not good at explaining things like this. So either you wait and get it from him, or you go and ask Bal. Your choice."
Cooper laughed, āI can talk to him from here honey, thank you though,ā
She worked up a smile. "I try my best."
Ryan looked at Cooper with confusion and anger. Mostly he was being protective of Belle and didnāt like how nice they were being to each other,ā
She noticed his tension and giggled. "Down boy, no need to be jealous."
Lillian frowned and turned back to Bal, "What do you mean? How is he doing? What's going on?"
āOther than today you would hardly even notice heās sick because he doesnāt want you to know. Drugs give him the munchies or whatever humans call it so he eats and it helps the headaches.ā Darren wouldnāt like anyone knowing.
Lillian raised her hands up, "Then why does he never eat around me! I get worried sick he's starving himself. And then he just doesn't want me to know how sick he is? That makes no sense! I'm his girlfriend I'm supposed to help himā¦."
Ryan clenched his jaw and looked away from Cooper who had his charming smile plastered to his face.
She cuddled into his side, finding his jealousy kind of hot. "Relax Ryan, you're going to break a blood vessel if you keep staying tense like that."
Lillian frowned and turned back to Bal, "What do you mean? How is he doing? What's going on?"

Balthazar laughed, "You missed the part where he's been doing drugs and worried more about the food⦠He doesn't eat around you because he's not going to be high while your around⦠He's going to kill me for even telling you,"
She cuddled into his side, finding his jealousy kind of hot. "Relax Ryan, you're going to break a blood vessel if you keep staying tense like that."
Ryan gave one last 'she's mine' look to Cooper and his ego before relaxing into Belle.
She suppressed her laughter and pulled him into her arms.
"Oh yeah. Why the fuck would he care about getting high around me?! It's not like I haven't gotten drunk or high before! I come from the slums. I've done all the shit."
Ryan and Cooper stared at each other⦠Ryan was a wolf, he knew how to be the alpha from the moment he entered a room but Cooper's ego bad him oblivious.
She watched their mini staring contest with an amused smile painted on her face. This is too much. It's kind of precious though.
"Oh yeah. Why the fuck would he care about getting high around me?! It's not like I haven't gotten drunk or high before! I come from the slums. I've done all the shit."
"He doesn't want you to think less of him⦠He's not like that, he doesn't do drugs but Ryā a friend offered it to help him out⦠It'd been proven by your human doctors to help cancer yet your government prohibits it," Humans confused him endlessly.
(WAIT WHAT. ALL OF THE PUZZLE PIECES ARE SLOWLY COMING TOGETHER.)
She watched their mini staring contest with an amused smile painted on her face. This is too much. It's kind of precious though.
Ryan's glare was icy, his eyes were no longer blue but bright red. Cooper's turned demonic black, he was asking for it.
