Thread: I'm sorry I'm such a tool WHO: Alex Jiang and Davian Rivera WHEN: Late night, August 8 WHERE: Davian's Room, Kitsune House
The total time for Alex's traveling from China to Maine took over twenty-one hours. Twenty-one hours for Alex to figure out what he was going to say to the person he'd been avoiding since well before his initial flight across the world. There was going to be an apology in there, but there was going to be a lot of other talking. It would be a lot easier to do this if fucking Davian hadn't quit smoking pot, but now they had to do this without anything to help. Alex could always take a puff before going there, but God, he needed to just . . . fuck.
He was tired. Sleeping on a plane, even in first class, wasn't fun, especially when he kept having nightmares that seemed to be growing progressively worse. The best nights of sleep he got involved one of the monks going into the spirit world and blocking things from his mind. He couldn't do it every night, being warned that it was dangerous to keep those things cut off. He had a basic idea of how to do it, but he knew he had to be careful. He would save the sleep for after he spoke to Davian and might really need it.
Alex didn't bother stopping by home because California had little to offer him anymore. His last "conversation" with his parents only seemed to confirm Alex's epiphanies of their negligence and enabling of bad behavior, and his California friends all moved on with their lives. He didn't bother announcing on Facebook he was coming back, and he would talk to Haylie and Tin eventually. The next day though. First was a chat with Davian who likely was asleep, and Alex was very sure that Davian forgot they were fighting. Again. Jesus, he forgot so many times.
Maybe he should go back to his room. Go to sleep. Forget about it. Act like everything was fine and he wasn't a tool. But it wouldn't help and Alex would be lying and . . . fuck.
It was late at night and Alex kinda hoped that Davian was very asleep or just not there. Maybe he was at Ambriel's! Alex prepared himself and just expected Davian not to answer. But then he heard some shuffling in the room, cursing, and then the door opened revealing Davian looking disheveled and like a slob. He looked like Davian. Davian who was at the door and staring at him. FUCK.
