Fickle

[Leo]

Leo sat down in the sofa, drifting into a more and more relaxed and douchy state of mind.
"Why..? Because you think I'm annoying as shit and Jean shares the same opinion. Which makes it incredibly confusing when a sweet girl like Isola starts liking me. So I guess I'd like to get away to keep myself from ruining the lives of everyone."
His voice went from arrogant to agitated during the little speech, but it died a little at the end. It was still difficult to keep his emotions down. He had looked at Bazz at the start, then lowered his gaze, now his eyes flickered nervously towards them and the floor. What the fuck was he doing?

[Balthazar]

Baz wasn't going to argue that he thought he was annoying as shit, but he just smiled, not very earnestly though, but still. It was some feelings coming from Leo anyway. And even if it might not make him feel better, it might make Isola feel better.
He stood by the sofa, looking down at them. He had his hands in his pockets of his jeans and nodded slowly. He then looked at Isola as he said:
"There you go. I'm the reason, not you."

[Isola]

Isola sat in the same position as before, listening and snorted at Balthazars comment and looked at him to reply.
"Anyone can be sweet, doesn't mean that it's not their fault."
She looked at the floor again, smiling to herself. This whole this was kind of ridicolous, Isola didn't care about Leo being an annoying shit and he most certainly didn't ruin her life, how could he?
She put her hand on Leos still with her gaze turned down while smiling.
"Leo.. I'm a homeless, alcoholic psycho with no family or friends left, there is not much to ruin."

[Leo]

Leo sighed and withdrew his hands from Isola.
"You're not getting it" he said while scratching the back of his head. This was too much for him.
"Not even I am getting this shit..." He added and sighed. There seemed to be no reason to talk about it, to try to sort things out. It was all just shit...

[Balthazar]

Balthazar sat down on the armrest of the sofa, and looked at them. He didn't really have anything to say, thinking that not even a psychologist could sort Leo out.
He took up his cell phone from the pocket of his jacket and started typing.

I am going to kill you.
If you come now I will
make it quick and painless.

He then typed the address to Leo's place and sent it to Jean.

[Isola]

Isola's eyes almost started to fill with tears when Leo pulled his hand away from her.
Didn't he just say that she was sweet, yet he was repulsed by her and wouldn't touch her?
He seemed to think that she was really disgusting and maybe she really was, there must be something wrong with her, because no one seemed to want to touch her and everybody left her..
She needed a bottle of whiskey so bad right now and to drink until she didn't feel anything..
Isola looked at Balthazar as he picked up his phone and wrote something on it, Leo was preoccupied with his self-pitying, not really eager to sort this thing out.
She combed away a strand of hair from her face and mumbled quietly: "Yeah whatever.. I'm just a dumb blonde.."

[Leo]

Leo looked at the floor for a while, not feeling much, not feeling like saying anything either. He looked up as Isola spoke and for some reason it almost made him smile.
"No, you're not. I'm the dumb blonde here. And now I've hurt you again..." He said and looked into her eyes, wanting her to get the message. He wasn't good for her. He wasn't just a dead end, he was a negative force that would ruin the little things she still had left. She was wrong to think that she was not worth much, she still had good qualities that could be taken from her.
"I don't want to ruin you Isola. You're deserve better than me" he said with a faint smile and leaned over to stroke her cheek.

[Balthazar]

Balthazar smirked when Leo got all sweet towards Isola. Both of them were feeling so sorry for themselves this was going nowhere.
He looked down at the phone. No answer. Perhaps she actually was on her way.

[Isola]

"Fine, we're both dumb." She simply stated and shrugged.
As Leo looked into her eyes and stroked her cheek she could feel thousands of tiny butterflies under her skin, her heart began to beat harder and faster.
"I don't care.." She said smiling and began to blush.
"I want you..." Isola added whispering in welsh, moving closer to Leo and kissed his cheek.

[Leo]

At first Leo smiled, thinking that perhaps she had gotten past all this. But then he sighed as she kissed his cheek, guessing that she'd start to cry if he would move away.
"You don't know me" Leo felt like he was back where he started. Nobody knew him and he knew nobody...

[Jean]

One might think that "I am going to kill you" wasn't a good way of motivating people to do anything, but based on the text she wasn't so sure that the guys had successfully made up alone and so jumped into a cab pretty much as soon as she got the text.

Jean didn't recognize the address, but once she got there she was disappointed to notice she knew the place. Trying the door she also noticed it was unlocked. That was really bright, move into a bar vampires thinks is open for public and leave the door open. Idiot.

Not too soon she was standing in the doorway feeling her mood drop even further as she noticed what was waiting for her there. "Can we do this outside? If that has to be the last thing I see I'm going to have to figure out a way to blow my brains out after you kill me."

[Balthazar]

As suddenly Jean entered the room Balthazar stood up with his arms crossed, trying not to show her how relieved he was. He just gave her a small smirk at her comment and headed towards the exit.
"Sure"
he simply answered.

[Isola]

Isola moved away a little bit from Leo when she noticed he became uncomfortable and thought she been to forward.. again.
"That's because you haven't given me a chance to get to know you." she said with a soft, almost pleading voice.
As she heard Jean enter and talk to Balthazar, Isola closed her eyes and leaned back in the sofa, this was just too confusing and too much. It was like an intervention and Leo obviously didn't care that these people wanted to help him, that they were worried about him.

[Leo]

Leo thought of what Isola had said wasn't paying attention to the surroundings, and wondered if he had missed out on something as Jean rushed in and said stuff he didn't quite understand. He was however more than happy (and confused) to see her. He sat up straight and looked at her, more or less shooting of a "help me!"-look. Like back in the old days when he'd be stuck somewhere in a bar with a girl he couldn't get rid off.

[Jean]

Suddenly he needed help and so they were all friendly again. That was pretty typical. None the less she rolled her eyes, gave Baz a look to warn him that he would probably have to wait with killing her and so put down her grocery bag by the door to have her hands free as she walked over to Leo, grabbed his collar and yanked him up on his feet. "Come here." She said as she began leading him out of the room.
