Adore: hehehe what was that couldn't hear you

Mickey: I said didn't I tell you not to move? I left you at the counter now your at a table

Adore: (smiling) hey I'm supposed to be sad here what's with all this bubbly sweet talk. (mumbling) your just 2 years older than me senpai

Mickey: I'll never understand your love for those comics and cartoons you read then your random use of words. what was it again Japanese or Korean?

Adore: hahahaha (evil laugh) Senpai

[exit bar]

Mickey: it's a blessing from God besides your apartment is a few minutes away

Adore: smls come on then Dad

Mickey: sighs honestly Adore

Adore: hmmm honestly what? ... blehhhhh it's so chilly tonight

Mickey: deep breath...ha Adore sometimes I wonder why the world looks so black and white to you. Sara and I knew you since middle school but you've only ever told us things you wanted us to know, we don't understand why you have this constant wall around yourself. Arhhhh! I've never been good at this sighs what I'm trynna say is we'll wait for you until you trust us enough to open up alright.

Adore: sigh Mickey it's not that I don't want to open up I just don't know how you know. you and Sara have always been right there for me, my threshold that keeps me sane. I constantly feel like I'm in a box within a box watching myself from that glass box you know but deep down I knew I didn't want to be understood.

Mickey: watch where you're going there's a puddle infront of you

Adore: mmmm thanks...Dad

[Adore's Apartment]

Mickey: whenever I talk to you I always end up questioning my life, ain't I the one supposed to be advising you. Adore sometimes I feel like your fading away slowly day by day. I'm honestly scared I'll lose you, you've always said what's on your mind until you start getting silent...Adore just please tell me my concerns are unwarranted, tell me you'll always be there with us.

Adore: (smiling) of course. Goodnight Mickey and tell Sara I love her.

Mickey: I should've known that smile was a fake since Adore never fully smiles but before I could read into it we were already too late because that smile wasn't a goodnight but a goodbye.
