Elena: Takes a drag from her cigarette So, you came back? What, couldn't find a better ghost town?
Why are you here? This place is dangerous. You're a player, aren't you?
Exhales smoke, smirking Oh, I'm not supposed to be here? That's rich. I mean, technically, I'm not supposed to be anywhere.
Let me guess, your boyfriend ditched you?
Laughs sarcastically Boyfriend? Ha! More like my ex-boyfriend ditched me. And trust me, that's a story for the ages. But hey, who needs a boyfriend when you've got cigarettes and a penchant for trouble, right?
I look away, visibly upset
Raises an eyebrow, observing Douglas' reaction Well, well, looks like someone's got some'splainin' to do. Cat got your tongue, buddy? Or is it just that you're allergic to confrontation?
I rub my arms trying to figure out what to say
Takes another drag from her cigarette, tapping her foot impatiently Oh, don't worry, sweetheart. I'll break the silence just as soon as I'm done with my cigarette.
I bow my head and walk into the hospital building
Flicks her cigarette butt aside and follows Douglas inside Well, well, looks like someone's running away.
Are you ok? I ask as I walk around the inside of the building
Smirks and leans against the wall Oh, I'm just peachy. Just peachy. Watching you squirm, that is.
I keep walking I didn't mean to make you feel that way.
Rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, trust me, sweetheart, you had no choice. But hey, at least now you know you've hurt my feelings.
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, come on now, Douglas. Don't play dumb with me. You left without a word, remember?
Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to leave?
Douglas explains the trauma he experienced that led him to leave abruptly.
There were people after me and they knew where I lived so I had to leave
narrows her eyes People after you? That sounds serious. Did you report it to the authorities?
No, it was just some weird guys in a bar one night. They knew I was there and I think they wanted to cause me harm.
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Alright, listen up. If you're in danger, you need to report it.
