Current mood: | worried |
WHO: Digger, Alice and Jared
WHEN: Tuesday [Backdated a day]
WHERE: George Washington Bridge
WHAT: Alice's little boyfriend is having a meltdown and about to do something really stupid.
WARNING: TBD
Digger had never even met Jared, but he knew the kid was too old for his sister. The day she told him she lost her virginity to the guy under some love spell he couldn't really tell her about, he knew that this was going to get messy. He tried to be the big bad brother that scared off the boys---but Alice had done that herself. He didn't hear her talk about Jared anymore, she kept her distance and that was cool. That was what Digger had hoped for. He thought maybe the guy would shuffle himself out of his sister's life for good, but when he got the message from Alice she seemed terrified he was going to really do something to himself. Hate the guy or not, Digger wasn't going to watch someone just jump off a bridge.
His car was the finest piece of shit on the planet, and of course it puttered around instead of actually going the speed limit. He had this crazy vision in his head that he was going to end up on the bridge just after the kid had jumped or shot his brains out. He'd just watched some horror movie about an hour earlier, so the images were still fresh and rotting his brain with terrible outcomes.
He picked up Alice and was trying to see in the dark, but shit this was one fucking big bridge! How many people could seriously be hoovering on the sidelines of the bridge. Apparently, every fucking homeless person in New York!
"Alice text him or something! Damn it." He growled. He was getting frustrated. All of Alice's calls and texts were unanswered. Jared wasn't in the headspace to respond. He just looked down at the water below, sitting on the railing and slowly crawling his way over to the other side.
