God, kill me.
Whatever the relationship we had at past had nothing to do with present was what he thought.
Though you fooled yourself with lies of throwing the past behind us, everything still remained the same was what I thought.
Beckett
Act like it, Carter.
I recalled the vivid images of him leaving me exposed not only to the cold, but to the lies I built convincing myself for years. The lies hidden in the phrase, 'I am normal.' Those were the final memories that was left within me.
Carter
No, no, no, no, no!
I dug my head under the covers as a result of feeling dizzy from the overwhelming setup penetrated around.
But a figure turned the tables by holding me softly, hugging. Caressed my back in rhythm to my heartbeat.
Georgia
You are safe in my arms mister.
She placed her chin on my shoulder, over the blanket to be precise.
Carter
Is this a good sign? I'm covered in... red?
That too I was placed in a hospital bed? What the hell happened?
Georgia
*let goes the hold she had on him* Yes and No.
Georgia
Good that the visible patches helped me with studying the red marks, making my own moves more understandable since I'm not a veteran. In conclusion, I took a clear step to work on the healing process. No internal damages.
Georgia
Assured by the nurse here.
Georgia
Bad that I couldn't find what's gotten worse. Physical or the mental health. I am teared between the two.
Ignore her, Carter. She was testing you. Probably it was her play.
Carter
*nervous* Em...I never once saw you at the nursery? Who are you?
Georgia
You better be joking.
Carter
Well... I'm serious.
Georgia
Sorry for being rude mister! I'm Georgia! New transfer student. I decided to give a hand to the nurse who works here...
Georgia
Is what you expect me to tell? This brief childish introduction?
Georgia
*mutters* No wonder Beckett loses his temper to you.
Carter
What did you say? Beckett?
Georgia
I am the girl who you and Beckett gonna compete for, is what I said.
Georgia
Carter, please! Don't be this dumb. I beg you.
Carter
Can I leave? If you excuse.
Georgia
There is no stopping from you leaving, but you will be defeated by Beckett if you don't ask for my mercy, Carter.
Carter
Nothing is pitiful about me inorder for you to offer me this deal Georgia. So yeah, there is no stopping.
Georgia
Woah, you spit my name as if it's venomous.
Georgia
Let me remind you.
Georgia
How can a gay win a girl's heart?
This comeback of hers broke my streak.
I couldn't possibly come up with any.
Carter
Gay? What are you blabbering about?
Georgia
Little Carter is still in the closet?
Carter
Who started this rumor?
Carter
I ASKED YOU WHO? *raises voice*
Georgia
*used to the high tone of his so she added a playful tone in return* You said yourself silly!
Georgia
That you like men, obvious silly!
Georgia
Want me to spark your memory?
The only people who possibly knew were Liam, a childhood best friend of mine and her family. Hell we lost contact ever since her parents made sure we both lose each other, thinking that I might be a bad influence for her or worse, turn her into a pure homo.
Georgia
You literally dragged me from watching SpongeBob and tied me under a tree. You signalled me to look to a carving over there which says, 'I like men,' scratched along with rainbows. I couldn't make out the words since the curves of the rainbows appealed more than the letters, so I asked you to tell in words. Got enough of my story time, Carty?
Georgia
Too late to let my name out sweet, Carty.
Gia, my childhood best friend.
Carter
I missed you like anything!
Georgia
Not so good, but know what? Now I do good since I'm back with you. Feels like home.
Carter
Aww. I couldn't recognise you. You have grown into a pretty one, cutie.
Georgia
I missed you terribly! Damn, I must say you look too good to be real. If only you are not gay. I would have–
Carter
–already made you my boyfriend? We both know we would have been a couple if our sexuality gone well with each other.
Georgia
I know right? We wouldn't been apart for so long if my parents were more accepting to the fact. My fault. You got hurt by their adamant thoughts.
Carter
We both were. Trust me, it's not your fault.
Georgia
I had a hard time. Like a real one. But we can't talk about it now. Take rest and we will talk the rest later.
Carter
Who brought me here?
She dodged the question? Great.
I couldn't rest, I tried. I counted sheep, one to ten, nothing works. So I let my ears listen to people's conversations and guess what? I recognised Becket's among them, outside the nursing room.
Wait, outside the nursing room?
Beckett
The tension was still lingering between us. Even after all these years, we still couldn't stand each other's presence.
Liam
Maybe you are imagining things?
Beckett
No! Even our base pep talk! It still turns out into a heated conversation. We still throw words to the extent we both end up getting physical.
Beckett
Just like old times.
Liam
This user was too stunned to speak when learned the truth about someone Carter's been plotting to murder for so long, the man who barely escapes those attempts turns out to be my brother!
Liam
*wondering to himself* I brushed it off whenever he mentioned Beckett. I never expected this.
Beckett
Liam, I can tell something is off about him.
Liam
What now? Don't start it, Beckett.
Beckett
I'm not going to talk ill about him, alright? I need to clarify this.
Beckett
For us, it's always punches and bruises but this time...
Beckett
We choked each other to death.
