sorry this is short but it's pretty impactful I think

Sheen stared at her for a moment as she glared at him from the top step.

"Well? Are you going to say something? Let me in? Anything?"

Sheen just moved and motioned for her to come inside the house. Franco sat at the table but smiled warmly.

"I didn't get to ask you if you wanted to have some dinner with us, Libby?"

"I'm not hungry, thank you, Mr. Estevez. Is it okay if I take Sheen out for a moment?"

"I think that's up to Sheen more than me, chica."

Libby turned to Sheen with an expectant look and again, he didn't say anything, just walked out the front door and Libby followed afterward.

Once they were on the front lawn, Libby pushed Sheen in the shoulder. He growled slightly, since it was the one he had been shot in and although healed, it was still very sore.

"Tell me what's going on, Sheen."

"There's not much more I can say. You're pretty in the know-"

"Cut the crap. When we saw you you were acting really weird. Did Jimmy do something to you? Did he cause something bad to happen again?"

"Why does everyone blame Jimmy for the alien incident? It was my fault for doing exactly what he told me not to do."

"Everyone knows that back then you were kind of…"

"Stupid, idiotic, hyperactive, underdeveloped, a moron… I have more synonyms to work with if you need anymore."

"I was going to just say different. Sure you were some of those things, but that's what made you you. Jimmy knew you better than anyone and should have known that if he said for you not to do something, you were going to do it. It's like he set you up or something."

"Jimmy's not like that… He wouldn't just set me up for failure. I'm the one who caused all the issues. No one wants to blame me for what is my fault. I don't get this town!" he growled, running his hands through his hair. "I do something stupid and get myself into trouble, making my dad think I'm crazy, and everyone blames Jimmy! What did Jimmy do? The same thing he always does and makes experiments. I'm the one that caused the issue. I caused myself heartache and for Jimmy to lose Cindy and everything that's happened. Can people at least give fault where it's due and not to others? Jimmy left town because everyone blamed him, Libby."

Libby just sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"I don't really care, Sheen. I just want to know what's going on right now with you. You've been acting really weird lately, more than usual, and I just saw that Jimmy is pregnant. He's a boy and he has a child growing inside of him."

"Well I didn't have anything to do with that." Sheen said with a face.

"Stop it! Stop… Please just trust me and tell me what's going on…"

Sheen sighed but he found that revealing his secret wasn't as hard as it was to reveal the secret to his father.

"Remember when Jimmy turned into those really life-like Halloween monsters some time back and I turned into a werewolf and then I turned you into a werewolf?"

"Yeah…"

"Well uh… apparently since that machine changed our DNA, there are still traces of it left inside of us, locked deep down within our DNA. One of the facilities… one of the places I went to noticed that gene and decided to try and see what it was. Well… it was this. I turn into a werewolf now. The pills aren't for my psychosis but for me to not turn into a werewolf unexpectedly."

Libby watched Sheen's eyes, looking for a joke in what he had just said, but found his eyes to be true. Libby laughed a little and ran her fingers through her weave.

"So… so you're telling me that you're a werewolf?"

"Yup."

"Then what did Nick and James want with you?"

"Something to torment." Libby made a face. "They riled me up and turned me into a werewolf and then they did stuff to me. I couldn't protect Jimmy and they knew it, so they made sure to make Jimmy suffer by not feeding him and made Jimmy suffer by making him watch me be… hurt…"

"You don't have any marks on you."

"Curse and blessing of the werewolf."

Libby nodded and Sheen sighed, putting his hands in his pocket.

"So there you have it."

"Bite me."

"What?"

Libby looked up at him and then grabbed his hands and pressed herself against Sheen.

"Bite me, Sheen. Turn me into a werewolf like you."

"What will Carl-"

"I don't care about Carl. Carl knows that. He knows that I don't love him as much as I love you. Sheen, I've been in love with you since the 4th grade, do you really think I can just forget that? You're the one who told me to find someone new and pushed me away. I would have worked it out…"

"With me being in a different state of depression and suicidal rampages and other crap that those meds made me? Could you really have stayed with me?"

"I would have tried."

"Trying is completely different than getting it done, Liberty." He snarled, pulling away from her. "Do you know how many times I tried to go off the meds alone, so that I could be normal for you? Do you know how many times I tried to stop myself from hurting me? Do you know how long I tried not to think of killing myself because all this shit wasn't worth it anymore? Huh?! HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU THINK I TRIED?!"

"But that wasn't you, it was the pills."

"Doesn't matter! It didn't help, did it? You know it didn't and you were there through some dark times. How the hell do you really think you could have held your head above those dark waters as well as mine? It wasn't your burden to bear and that's why I made you leave. Why should you drown with me?"

Libby swallowed hard as Sheen ran his fingers through his hair again.

"Libby, look, I love you and I always will. I can't forget you… but you can't protect me and you shouldn't be with me. I'm a ticking time bomb, especially now more than ever. It's a little easier with just trying to maintain the werewolf than my fractured mind but I had to have another creature's DNA activated within me in order to be fixed. That's pretty damn sad, don't you think?"

Libby didn't say anything as she turned her head away from him. He pulled her back to look at him and he saw tears in her eyes.

"We can't be together anymore. Go to Carl. You think he knows and doesn't care about us, but I know it does. He's a good faker and plays along well, but he wants to be with you. It's not fair to hang onto me." He put his hands on her face. "You have to let go."

Libby yanked her face from his hands.

"You say that so casually." She sneered and ran off.

Sheen watched her go until he couldn't see her, and then until he couldn't smell her. Once her scent was gone, he grabbed his chest where he heart was and squeezed, his own tears falling. He smelled Franco before he felt him.

"Are you sure you did the right thing?"

"What use will come out of me, Papa? I'm not normal on all accounts anymore. Jimmy can't fix me, I can't be tamed, and Carl… I couldn't just take Libby from him. Libby thought he didn't mind but as a werewolf, I smelled his ebbing jealousy, his throbbing resentment… his creeping anger. He loves Libby."

"What will you do now?"

"Help Jimmy." He looked at his father. "That's what I always did best. Being Jimmy's sidekick on our crazy adventures."

"You're a very good man, mijo, don't let this oddity make you believe otherwise."

Sheen tried to smile but he ended up in tears, leaning into his father.

"Papi, mi corazón está rotó!"

Franco pat his son on the back.

"I know, my son… It will get better, I promise."

Papi, mi corazón está rotó = dad my heart is broken (actually, it's daddy but we'll just slide that along)

and thus the libbeen ship has sunk... or has it? you never know. and the side effects of pills will sometimes cause more issues than what they are trying to fix and that's what sheen was saying. it caused him to get depressed and have suicidal thoughts and all sorts of stuff. but we don't need any of that.
