A House Full Of Garbage
Aubrey stands in front of her old and decrepit home wondering how she could even stand being here much less living, she tries to remember a time when her family wasn't broken when they were loving and kind like a real family that had no care in the world, but even way before the incident with Mari cracks started to show or maybe they were always there. It all started when Aubrey's Father Adrian came back home late and Aubrey's Mother Abigale immediately assumed cheating but Adrian flat out denied that and said he went out drinking with Samson which was true (however Samson can't hold his liquor for shit and somewhat remembers Adrian flirting with girls), one time turned into two, then 3, then 4, then Aubrey lost count.
The last time Aubrey saw her Dad was him leaving without her soon after the incident with Mari and she distinctly remembers her Mom arguing with Sunny's parents saying that it was Sunny's fault that "THIS HAPPENED TO US!" a statement that was half ironic and half confusing cause her mom clearly meant Adrian leaving but what did the accident have to do with-
Sunny: y'know you told me about this place , and I always wondered why we never played here?
Aubrey turns around to see Sunny
Aubrey: yeah they didn't want more children causing noise in the house not to mention my room back then was nothing special
Silence as they stare at the house
Sunny: do you hate her
Aubrey: going right for the shark with that one aren't ya
Sunny: I would so punch a shark
Aubrey: you really would *sigh* it's hard to say she's the entire reason I'm alive and was the one who nurtured me the most at least until she...shutdown, dad was there too but even back then I could tell he didn't...exactly like me
Sunny: so we have abandonment and now neglect can we have physical abuse for 500$?
Aubrey: you watch the crap- never mind thinking back he did spank me a couple times but he never, you know used a belt on me that was...reserved for my mom
Sunny: Domestic abuser now and she never called the cops?
Aubrey: something about how the courts would favor the husband over the wife since according to his colleges he was a stand up guy, even won an award or two
Sunny: So he was two faced as well he just keeps getting better
Aubrey: Can't do that in today's age you'd probably go to jail just for looking at a women funny
Sunny proceeds to look at Aubrey in a funny way
Aubrey: well I'm allowing you to do that, but look at some other girl and I'll beat you dead
Sunny: Heh wouldn't dream of it c'mon let's go to the swings this place is...depressing
Aubrey: yeah...it is
the two leave
A Swing of Memories
They took the scenic root to the swings even passing it a few times to really take in the town they grew up in, eventually Sunset rolls in and it's almost time for them to meet up with the others but first the swings.
As they try to sit down on swings meant for children they get to talking like they had done so many times before
night was setting in
Sunny: so you had a pet rabbit right?
Aubrey: yeah BunBun he...died some time ago and was buried somewhere and didn't you have a cat...Mewo right
Sunny: yeah let's not...please
Aubrey: ok
silence
Aubrey: Hey Sunny I wanna ask a deep question myself too make us even
Sunny: Okay ask away
Aubrey: Why do you love me?
Sunny: w-wow that's like a breaking up question one that I don't have a good answer for
Aubrey: seriously?
Sunny: well there isn't an easy answer I just do Aubs I've always loved you, because you were everything I wish I could be, think about it while practically gave up on life and had to be saved by others before I could save myself, all the while you finally left town and made it to this city all on your own it probably wasn't easy but you still did it on your own terms
Aubrey is silent
Sunny: Honestly I should be asking if you would still love me if Mari wasn't alive, I wouldn't blame you if you couldn't but I hoped we could still be friends and-
Aubrey: hehehehehehehe- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *sobs*
Sunny: A-aubrey?
Aubrey: yeah the tough girl everyone fell in love with not knowing what she feels inside!
Sunny: I don't understand
Aubrey: BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T TOLD YOU NOT HERO OR KEL OR EVEN BASIL!
Sunny: t-told me what?
Aubrey: about how I bullied Basil practically into suicide!
Sunny: W-What? No he only did that because his grandma died and I abandoned him and all of you, and I'm the one who drew over the photos of Mari I'm the one to blame for everything
Aubrey: Yeah just blame it all on you much easier to do that than admit our own faults right!? and did they tell you everything
Sunny doesn't answer unsure of what she means
Aubrey: I brought him to our secret hideout so Kel wouldn't interfere but he did anyway and used pepper spray on us I had meltdown like I did in the city and I pushed him into the pond
Sunny: YOU DID WHAT!? YOU KNOW HE CAN'T SWIM RIGHT!?
Aubrey: I KNOW! but I was out of control I couldn't think straight Kel had to hold me down and Kim, oh god, she went in after him but she didn't resurface and that snapped me out of it and realized what I had done if Hero wasn't there I would have gotten 2 people killed because of a mere push and anger
When Aubrey uttered those words he understood why she was telling him this
Sunny: Aubrey you don't have to-
Aubrey: No that wasn't even the worst part, when Hero looked at me expecting to say something so I said "I'm sorry it was an accident" that's when he said "that doesn't matter their deaths would have been on your hands if came even a minute later" (some more laughing and sobbing) can you believe that I swear you couldn't make this shit up! (more laughing and sobbing)
Sunny: Aubrey It's okay
Aubrey: No it's not in the end I was nothing more than a selfish Hypocrite, when you told the Truth that memory came back up and instead of learning from it I just blamed you for everything I even tried to kill you and I needed "Mary" to tell me why I was being such a Bitch, I don't deserve your love, I don't even deserve to be near yo-
*SLAP*
Aubrey: huh?
Sunny (cleaning Aubrey's face): Sorry if that counts as Domestic Abuse but I need you to listen *inhale and exhale* Aubrey all my life I thought I would never amount to much I was just the quiet kid the baby of the group that couldn't do anything without help. Fast forward to now and...well let's skip over physical feats and focus more on how I know you have been keeping this inside for so long even when we entered a relationship I could tell there was something you wanted to say but couldn't because you were afraid of what would happen a feeling I know too well
Aubrey: Sunny
Sunny: you don't have to live in fear or have to keep things to yourself let's just say what we want
Sunny and Aubrey: I love you
Sunny and Aubrey: I love you too
Sunny and Aubrey Kiss under moonlight (really need to do commissions)
*SNAP*
Both lovers look to see EVERYONE there staring and maybe crying
Basil: and that's a perfect shot
Mari: that was...so beautiful
Hero: not sure how I feel about the slap
Kel: you two were practically made for each other there's no doubt now
Kim: and I have it ALL recorded
Aubrey: HOW. MUCH.
Kim: ever since you asked "why do you love me?"
Sunny: so like the entire relevant conversati-
Aubrey: YOUR ALL FUCKING DEAD!
As Aubrey attempts to homicide her friends Sunny and Basil are of course spared
Sunny: was the photo good?
Basil: picture perfect ready for a nice night picnic? I made your favorite rice balls
Sunny: awesome you always know what to do to make me happy Basil
Basil: *blushing* o-oh don't mention it S-sunny what are best friends for?
Sunny: just "friends"
Basil: WHY DON'T WE GO SET UP HUH?
Sunny: heh sure
Notes:
WOOF that was pretty loaded
