[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[toxapex]

I wake up to Sage hugging me. I jump up, then become dizzy. After steadying myself, I look around. "Where is that guy? What did he do?! Are you okay?"

 

[Myst]

"Helix, what guy? Are you sure you weren't dreaming? I came by to visit you at work but your boss didn't know where you were..."

 

[Jawile]

My mind starts to wander, but I realize the bread is starting to burn a little. I quickly take it out of the oven, burning my hands.

"I teleported bread!" I exclaim, quoting a soldier.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I look down at my feet as Jade tells me that. "I... Did love him... Back in the coma... But... I don't know anymore, I thought he died and I'm confused and I don't get what the hell is going on!"

 

[Beary]

I shove Carmen out of the room, then shut the door.
"Talk to me. I want what's best for my brother. So I'll help you the best I can."

 

[Jawile]

"Hey Carmen, does the bread look burnt to ya?" I ask.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I notice Carmen get pushed out. "I'm so confused. I loved Ethan, but he died. And then..." I start tearing up again. "Why can't I just be happy with someone, for once."

 

[toxapex]

"Helix, what guy? Are you sure you weren't dreaming? I came by to visit you at work but your boss didn't know where you were..."

"What... no... there was somebody here... he kidnapped you when I saw you coming to the restaurant! Look, I still have the mark from his needle!" I show her my neck.

 

[Beary]

"Did you truly love Ethan?" I say gently.

"Nah."

 

[Myst]

I laugh. "Helix... why don't you take a nap? Maybe it's just the shock of working..."

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

"..." I think about it. "Well... I always thought he was... Cute 'nd stuff."

 

[Myst]

"I see no mark."

(The mark vanished.)

 

[Jawile]

"Jade told me to watch it. I think I make a good bread watcher."

 

[toxapex]

"B-but..." I feel confused. "Maybe..."

"But how did I end up in an alleyway, though? I followed you guys here and he knocked me out right here!"

 

[Beary]

"Sounds like an infatuation." I say.

"Whatever you say, numbskull."
I glare at him. "I still don't think you deserve my sister."

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I drop my head. "Y-yeah?"

 

[Beary]

I quote a dictionary.
"An intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone or something. Sounds accurate."

 

[Jawile]

"What?" I glare back. "You should be thankful I saved your sister from that pit in the first place!"

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I look up at her. "So your saying... I'm only attracted to him, not in love with him? I.. Er... I guess you could be right, but I didn't know."

 

[Beary]

"You can't SEE how stressed she is? She's driving herself insane wondering if you love her, or Anku."

"It's a possibility. But for the time being..who has made you the happiest? Simple question."
