* Meghan is sitting in the same spot on the sofa * Michelle unlocks the door and walks in. She is not in good shape. * Meghan glances up and concern fills her face she quickly stands and walks over to Michelle <Meghan> 'chelle? * Michelle leans heavily on the taller woman, "Can we just go to bed and have a long cry?" * Meghan nods and leads Michelle to her bedroom. "Let me just go make sure all the lights are out and check on Sabrina. I'll be right back" * Michelle strips out of her cloths but doesn't have the energy to put her nightgown on and simply crawls into bed, burying her face in a pillow. * Meghan leaves and makes a quick trip around the house and is soon back in Michelle's room. She crawls into the bed and pulls Michelle into her arms holding her tightly. * Michelle hugs Meghan desperately and begins softly sobbing, her entire body shaking from the emotions being released. <Meghan> ::softly:: Do you want to talk about it? * Meghan holds Michelle closer pressing her lips to the top of the woman's head. <Michelle> ::After a few minutes Michelle's sobbing slows:: I'm sorry... it's just... Everything... it's just... you... the stranger... all the... on the Hall... ::Michelle resumes sobbing:: * Meghan nods and continues to hold Michelle whispering softly to her "It's ok 'chelle. It's ok" <Michelle> But it's not ::sniffle:: That girl's more likely to go right back to the man who did that to her than she is to actually try and start a new life were she believes in herself ::sob:: And now you're going to fall in love with Kevil ::descends into a fresh bout of sobbing:: * Meghan frowns and pulls back slightly from Michelle softly "What?...Kevil?" * Michelle sniffles, "Well why else would you want him to move in with us?" * Meghan shakes her head and places her fingers on Michelle's chin pulling her gaze up and looking her deeply in the eye. "Listen to me 'chelle. I do not want Kev to move in with us cause I love him or am planning on falling in love with him. He is a good close friend. That's all" <Michelle> ::Michelle's blue eyes meet Meghan's green ones with a desperate look:: * Meghan smiles warmly at her "Honestly. He comes over almost every day to play for me. I just think he would be happier if he had a place that felt like home." * Meghan gasps lightly and closes her eyes for a moment and then opens them again pulling Michelle close again * Michelle begins sobbing again, "I'm sorry Meghan...I'm so sorry..." * Meghan shakes her head slowly stroking the woman's hair "Shhhh just try to calm down" <Michelle> ::after a few minutes Michelle's sobs slow again:: * Meghan pulls back slightly looking closely at Michelle * Michelle sniffles and wipes her nose, looking back at Meghan. * Meghan smiles softly and brushes her fingers lightly across Michelle cheek brushing away tears. "Better?" * Michelle sniffles some more and smiles weakly, "A little." * Meghan smiles "Good. Now do you want to tell me about it or just go to sleep?" <Michelle> I don't know the woman. She's apparently been to the Hall a few times because some of the others recognized her. She's a prostitute. Her pimp came to the Hall to retrieve her then beat and raped her. She ran back to the Hall. Before he took her away we offered to help her...She couldn't bring herself to accept. <Michelle> And then I've been so worked up about you ever since you started avoiding me...I thought I was going to lose you after finally telling you how I felt...It was too much all at once... * Meghan nods "I could feel it as soon as you brought her in." she blinks a few tears coming to her eyes. "I'm sorry. I care about you so much. the last thing I want to do is hurt you." * Michelle shakes her head, "It's part of life...But so is a good cry." * Meghan shakes her head laughing suddenly softly "As I recall you are the one who told me this would happen if you keep things inside yes" * Michelle nods, "Yes. That's why it's so important for telepathic and empathic couples to be completely open with each other. If they're not then they have no choice but to bottle everything up. Which makes them either the happiest or the saddest couples you'll ever meet." * Meghan nods and pulls Michelle into her arms again resting her cheek on top of the woman's head. * Michelle hugs Meghan tightly. <Meghan> ::smiles softly:: Well Sabrina is in my bed so I think you're stuck with me tonight <Michelle> Didn't think you'd object after last night. But if Sabrina does find it in her to accept help, we'll probably wind up giving her the spare room...Unless you want to share a room with me... * Meghan pulls back and looks closely at Michelle. "Do you mind if I do, share your room?" * Michelle giggles softly then kisses Meghan deeply, pressing her body against Meghan. * Michelle breaks the kiss and whispers in Meghan's ear, "What do you think?" * Meghan smiles and brushes her finger across Michelle's nose. "I think you just like kissing me." She winks and pulls Michelle back into her arms. * Michelle pulls back and blinks innocently at Meghan, "Are you saying you don't want me to kiss you?" * Meghan grins and kisses her nose "Never even thought it" * Michelle kisses Meghan again and smiles at her, "If you're going to stop me, do so now. Cause this is probably the last time we're going to have the house to ourselves for a long time." Fade to Black |
