[CLOSED] make you feel wanted...

[britton "britt" markus roberts]

Britt shook his head. "No, my name's Britton. Like.. the place? But I go by Britt." He smiled over at her. "Well, you could be dying. You'll find someone. You're too pretty not to. And yeah, I never really told anyone about making a deal with the devil.. Except you. You can't trust him. But I guess temptation is a bitch, huh?"

He sat the towel down, chewing on his lip. He felt bad for her, knowing she had done the same thing as him. "I was pretty good off for a few years.. I had girls, money, fame.. And then he stripped it all away. Now all I want is another day, another breath.. And a baby. That would be nice too, but I can't even take care of my self. I guess that's why I go play with Deacon's baby so much.." He trailed off, looking down at the toes of his converse.

Zoey sighed softly. "You could have always adopted.." she murmured softly. "How long have you been sick..?"

she pulled herself onto the counter, swinging her legs slightly, gazing at her feet. "I won't find anyone anytime soon..not with what I do, who I am..I've shut everybody else out," she admitted. "You think you would have a chance if you did chemo..? At all?" she bit her lip, gazing up at him with solemn eyes.

"I've been sick for a few years now. But it's gotten so bad it's spread from my stomach, to my liver, to my intestines, and now it's up to my lungs so.. Even if they try, it might just end up killing me instead.." He looked up at her, biting his lip.

"If I didn't want you to have to go through another dying person, I'd date you. But I think you'll find someone who can support you, so you don't have to do what you do. Someone who will take care of you. There's plenty of good guys out there, you just have to really look." He drummed his fingers on his legs, looking down at his watch. He still had awhile before his next appointment.

"Oh.." She whispered softly. 'I'm sorry..' But she didn't say the words, didn't think they would be steady. "Good guys," she scoffed. "I've given up on most guys...and honestly I'd date you even if you were dying.." The pain that came with the relationship. She wondered if her addiction to such pain made her crazy or not.

"And I don't do what I do to support myself, I could get money from my mom anytime." She swallowed. More an act of rebellion. Or maybe living that rape over and over, punishing herself for reasons she didn't know. "when's your next person come in..? You wanna go get coffe or something?"

[britton "britt" markus roberts]

"My next client comes in in like.. an hour?" He looked down at his watch and nodded. "Yeah, an hour. We can go grab coffee if you want." He walked out of the front door, telling the woman at the desk he would be back. But she didn't care. He pulled out his car keys, opening the truck he always kept unlocked. He coughed into his sleeve, and realized the truck smelled like his cologne. He put the key in the ignition, and pulled out of the parking lot, not even bothering to put on his seat belt.

He reached over, turning the radio on. He flipped through the channels, then gave up, turning it back off. "So.." He drummed his hands on the steering wheel, looking up at the red light. "You go to school?"

Zoey nodded, following him to the the truck and climbing in. "You know, if your car is all you got, you should really lock it," she huffed, watching him flip through music for a moment before he turned it back off. She shrugged. "Usually yeah. Well, sometimes, been skipping a lot in the past two months."

Jason had screwed everything up. She was so afraid of him finding her. And not even just that, but her grades had slipped, her lies increased. In two months she had made thousands on the streets. The tattoo could perhaps have been a blessing, her body almost always aching, always busy.. who knows if she carried any sort of std's, no matter how safe or unsafe she was.

Britt pulled into the parking lot of the coffee shop, then killed the engine. He slid out, making sure he had his wallet in his pocket. He held open the door for her, then followed in behind her. The smell of coffee made him smile. It was a familiar smell when you were on tour. Coffee shops became your best friend.

"Coffee, black." He said. "And whatever she wants." He reached into his wallet, pulling out his bank card and handing it to the man. Once she had ordered, he put it back into his wallet, tucking it into his back pocket. He took his coffee and walked to one of the empty tables. He took a sip of it, looking out the window. "I didn't go to school much either. I ran away when I was your age. I never finished it either. Never really saw the point." He smiled politely at one of his client's who passed, then looked down into his cup.

Zoey ordered a black coffee as well, taking it and following after him to the table. "If you can't afford food or a house you don't need to be paying for coffee," she huffed, throwing fifteen dollars at him with a challenging look. "and don't say no, cos I'm not taking it back."

She listened to his explanation about school, nodding faintly. "I dunno what I plan to do when I'm older, but it definitely won't be anything too ambitious or have to do with school."

Britt leaned over, putting the money in her shirt. "Op. Now you gotta dance for me." He said jokingly. "I actually got paid yesterday, and the check went through this morning, so this is the only thing I have bought so far." Not that he ever used his entire pay check on himself. He saved some of it for gas and food, but the rest of it, he gave to breast cancer research and the orphanage. He hated using all of his money on himself, and guessed he was filling the void that no one had ever filled, that lonely hole in his heart that he kind of thought he was staring to fill with Zoey.

"You can make something of yourself. You're pretty, young.." He smiled over at her.

"Noo," Zoey huffed stubbornly, shamelessly pulling the cash from her shirt and taking his hand, curling his fingers around it. "Keep it. For yourself.." Why was it the ones needing help that helped others the most?

"My attitude overrides the beauty," she breathed with a shrug. "As I said, I stay away from most people, and that meaning most public jobs."
