Lee pouted, tilting her head as she looked at Rory. "I love you, too." She sighed, sitting up and moving to the edge of the bed. "I don't want you to leave. If that's why you're going, then don't. I'd cry." And she was serious, too. Well, she'd be crying anyway, but a bit less.

Rory looked down at his hand on the doorknob, but didn't move. "I donnae know why you'd stay wi' me after tha'. I fooked e'erythin' up."

"No you didn't. Lydia did." She glared at him again, not wanting him to feel this guilty. Her voice softened, and she looked down into her lap. "I'm mad at you, yeah, but I dun want you to leave..." She may be a little distant for a while, but that didn't mean she didn't still love him.

Rory looked back at her, hand still resting on the doorknow, his other wiping away a stray tear. "I donnae want t' leave, either. I ain't sure what t' do, though. You're gonna keep lookin' at me like tha' an' w're gonna always hae this between us."

Was that a tear...? Lee felt her heart sink, as if it were being crushed. Her voice was choked now, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted to keep herself from crying again. Stumbling out of bed and to his side, not really caring how silly she looked with her legs so wobbly, Lee clung to Rory's chest, caring only about that tear on his cheek.

The boy looked down at her, shock clear on his face. Slowly he lifted his arms up to hug her against him. "I'm sorry, Lee. I'm so sorry." He felt as if he'd never say the words enough to her.

Lee shook her head. "It's okay, I shouldn't be mad at you anyway. I just can't help it. I wanna slap you..." She laughed a bit, though stopped herself as soon as she felt tears rising up again. She was still miserable, but couldn't help but feel better with Rory close. Why did she hate him? Why did she still like him? This was all so conflicting...

"I donnae blame you. Feel like slappin' me own self. I didnae see it wi' Lydia. I wis stupid an' blind. Mostly stupid. I thought she wis me friend," Rory said, body starting to shake a bit. "I donnae understand why she'd do tha'. Hurts worse than th' beatin' I took as a boy."

Lee pulled away a bit to look at Rory's face, her eyes filling with tears at the sight of him. "Because she's lonely and pathetic and selfish, and because you're sweet and trusting and probably the only one who gave her attention. You weren't stupid. It isn't your fault she took advantage of you." Somehow, she couldn't blame Lydia for wanting Rory for herself, but couldn't say she didn't hate her more than anyone. Hailey was nothing compared to her, and that was saying a lot. She looked back down, hiding her face in his chest. "I'm sorry..." She was a terrible girlfriend, and, if he still wanted her, she'd be a terrible wife, too, to even let him think that she wanted him gone.

"You ain't got a reason in th' world t' be sorry," Rory said, looking down at her while he stroked her hair. "I'll stop drinkin', though. If I hadn't taken Lydia's offer fae beer, she wouldnae had a way t' catch me off guard like tha'. W' need t' figure out who her brother is an' make sure you steer clear o' him, too. 'specially if he's one o' th' cooks. His sister was more'n capable o' rapin' me. Who knows what he might do since he likes you so much."

Lee shook her head, looking up at the boy with guilt on her face. "I let you think I hated you. After everything that happened... I just made you feel worse." She'd cared more about herself than him. That was enough to make her a terrible anything. "Her brother? A cook likes me?" This was odd. How would she not have known about this? Well, she hadn't really known about Lydia for a while, either... She just hugged him closer, not really wanting to know who this person was if she could help it.

"Lydia tol' me when w' wis talkin' an' when she suggested seein' other people. I donnae e'en know if it's truth. She might've said it t' cover her tracks a bit," Rory said, rubbing at his face. "Cannae really say you made me feel worse. You wis, are justified in makin' me feel like shite. I wouldnae hae held it against you if you hated me."

"I dun hate you. And if I did, I'd still love you at the same time." Another one of those things she just couldn't help. Lee reached up to touch his cheek, tracing where his tear had been, if for no other reason than because she like the feeling. "Do you still wanna marry me? I wouldn't blame you if you said no..."

"Well, yeah. If you'll still hae me fae your worthless husband, tha' is," Rory said, giving her a weak smile.
At his foot, Ki Du had taken hold of the boy's pant leg and was currently jerking his head around, trying to rip the jeans to shreads. Rory let go of Lee so he could pick the puppy up. Ki Du just yapped happily at them both, completely unaware something was wrong. All he knew was Boy and Girl were here and he wanted to play.

She reached over Ki Du to give Rory a kiss, having to break it before it could really be considered passionate. "Only if you'll keep Ki Du." She gave the boy a smile back, though was still a bit upset with what Rory had said before. "You were really gonna leave him with me? He needs his daddy... or... big brother? Or whatever you are to him." Surely the puppy didn't think of him as just some boy.
