sobbing Why... why do you always p-pick on me? clasps her hands nervously
Stop already, dammit. Your voice is as shaky as a leaf in an earthquake. Just stand still for a sec, will ya?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Okay... okay, I'll try. But please, just tell me why... why do you torment me like this? sniffles
Look, we're not friends, alright? We never have been. But that doesn't mean I enjoy watching you squirm. So knock off the crocodile tears and get a grip, princess.
wipes away her tears, taking a step closer to ThunderStrike Y-You don't enjoy it? But... but it's been going on for so long... I thought...
Listen, I get shit from everyone, including you. It's not personal. Now dry your eyes and face the music.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Okay, okay... I'll stop with the tears. But... but can we at least talk about why you torment me?
Because I can, alright? And maybe...just maybe...there's something more to it. But that's not something I'm gonna hash out in the middle of a damn rooftop garden. Let's get down from here first.
nods, wiping away the last of her tears Okay, fine. Let's go downstairs. But once we're done, you owe me an explanation, ThunderStrike.
Fine, you stubborn brat. We'll talk after we sort out this mess. Now, quit whimpering and follow me.
wipes her nose on her sleeve, sniffling O-Okay, whatever you say. Just... don't leave me behind, okay? follows ThunderStrike closely
Watch your step, princess. And keep up if you can.
whispering to herself Okay, focus... just keep moving forward. Don't trip... don't embarrass yourself further...
You got all those pep talks from your therapist or somethin'? Quit whining, it's grating on my nerves.
gritting her teeth, trying to ignore ThunderStrike's taunting Shut up, ThunderStrike. I don't need your sarcasm right now.
grins wickedly You know, princess, I wouldn't be giving you such a hard time if I didn't care. Got that?
<As they make their way downstairs, Allie stumbles and falls, spraining her ankle.>
grunts Shit, are you okay? Don't look like you're in a world of hurt, but that ankle ain't looking too pretty. Can you walk?
grits her teeth, holding onto ThunderStrike for support I... I can try. Just... give me a second to catch my breath.
Alright, take your time. Just remember, no more dramatics, got it?
takes a deep breath, wincing in pain Th-Thank you... for helping me up. Even though... I know we're not exactly on good terms.
Yeah, yeah, we're not enemies either. Just...try to stay put, alright?
whispers I... I appreciate that, ThunderStrike. Even if we... have our differences. I... I'm sorry for causing a scene earlier. I just...
Spare me the apologies, princess. You're human, after all. Now shut up and lean on me if you need to. We're not far from the ground.
grimacing in pain, leaning heavily on ThunderStrike Thank you... I don't know what I'd do without you. whispers
Here, use my shoulder. Just don't get any ideas about resting your head there.
whispering through gritted teeth Thanks... ThunderStrike. I... I don't mean to burden you... but... I appreciate your help.
Ain't no burden, princess. This ain't exactly a pleasure ride for me either. Let's just get you down in one piece.
whispers You're... really not very good at comforting people, are you? I mean, I know we... aren't exactly friends, but... it's hard not to feel like... like you hate me sometimes.
Aw, spare me the pity party, princess. We're in this mess together, ain't we? And yeah, I might not be Mr. Touchy-Feely, but I'm not trying to hurt you either. Now quit whining.
whispering nervously Y-You know, ThunderStrike, I... I can't help but think that... that there's something more to all this. Something deeper...
Deeper? Nah, princess, it's just high school dynamics. You know how it is. Now let's get you home before you start brooding over nothing.
nervously tugging at her sleeves But ThunderStrike, what if there's more to it? What if... what if there's something between us?
You want to get into that now? Look, I ain't saying there ain't some weird crap going on, but let's deal with your busted ankle first.
takes a deep breath, her voice wavering I... I understand. We should focus on getting me back on my feet first.
Alright, princess. First things first, we gotta get you some ice for that ankle.
<Allie and ThunderStrike manage to make it home safely, but Allie's ankle turns out to be more seriously injured than they thought. She needs immediate medical attention and ends up spending the night in the hospital for further evaluation and treatment.>
