Shawn: Erin, I can't do that. Like my decision, don't like it...that's fine. I get it....I also get that I won't be welcome...but like it or not...I WILL do what I feel is needed to keep you alive and safe.

Shawn looks to Alex...

Shawn: Yeah, you're pissed. I get it. We'll settle up later. Right now, you need to look after your aunt and tell me where your father is.

Through gritted teeth Alex manages to squeak out the words.

Alex: Downstairs. Family Room.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:31 pm

Alexis walks over and puts a hand on Alex's shoulder, at the same time still watching Erin to make sure she doesn't do anything to herself.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:35 pm

Shawn: Right.

He looks at Alexis and nods and heads downstairs. Meanwhile, Jillian and Ewan are sitting on the couch together....

Jillian: I wish she would talk to me. I'm just so....tired of feeling like Nathie hates me. I...

Shawn: ....just want to fit in, right Jil?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:43 pm

Lexi's touch soothes Alex a little but his knuckles remain white from clenching his fists so hard.

Ewan looks up at Shawn, not with anger in his eyes, but sadness.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:45 pm

Jillian: Haven't you done enough? Why are you...

Shawn: Stop it, Jillian...right now. Ewan....I need to speak to you.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:46 pm

Alexis looks back over at Erin while rubbing Alex's fists, trying to get him to relax his hands.

Alexis: We're not going to leave you alone.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:49 pm

Ewan: Then speak.

Erin watches Alexis rub Alex's hands.

Erin: You can't stand there forever sweetie.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:50 pm

Alexis: You plan on just sitting there for the rest of your life?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:51 pm

Erin: I don't plan on the rest of my life being very long.....

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:54 pm

Alexis: I, for one, am not going to let you do anything stupid.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:55 pm

Shawn: T..."Then speak"? That's all you have for me....after thirty years? Fine...that's fine. I'm not here about us....yet. This is about Erin. She sent me a text, though from the look on your face...you know what she is planning on doing. I'm here to stop her from trying to kill herself....face whatever I have to face....

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:59 pm

Erin: Like I said.... you can't stand there forever.

Ewan: Of course I know.... She my sister.... I knew the moment she got home that she was going to resort to this.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:00 pm

Shawn: The...then why the hell are you down here?

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:01 pm

Alexis: And what were you planning on doing when we left?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:12 pm

Ewan: Alex and Alexis got there before me.... and I'm sure Alexis is doing a far better job than I would.... I'd probably react much the same way I assume Alex is reacting.

Erin laughs.

Erin: Why? You wanna search the room? Try and find whatever it is I was planning on using to harm myself?

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:13 pm

Alexis is completely serious.

Alexis: If need be, yes.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:15 pm

Shawn: So...so you're just down here, doing nothing? Christ, Ewan...you're the head of this family....you...

Jillian: What do you care, huh? You broke her heart when you said you didn't love her.

Shawn: What? When the fuck did I ever say that? Did you think I brought Erin all the way out to Chicago just to humiliate her? Are you guys fuckin' batty? I would NEVER do something like that...especially to Erin.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:28 pm

Erin: Go ahead sweetie.... But I should warn you it wont do any good.... I'm perfectly capable of snapping my own neck without the aid of any props.

Ewan: Did you or did you not tell her that you wanted to be with her.... then kiss her.... then for some reason, decline being wither her..... in favour of being with Raquel Wednesday? Are you or are you not here right now to try and ensure we don't come after you and your precious little prostitute who is currently all alone in room 327 of the Greenwich Hilton?

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:30 pm

Alexis: Wouldn't you pass out before doing any permanent damage, like how someone can't choke themselves... or were you planning on jumping?

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:33 pm

Shawn: I could care fuckin' less what you and your hit squad do to me. I know the drill. I'm an Edwards, remember?

He steps foward...

Shawn: But don't you ever assume that I'm here to save my own neck. You're right....I called her out. I wanted to see if that spark was still there. I wanted it to be....I can't tell you how much I wanted it to be. But it wasn't. The spark was gone. You two, above all people, should know what it means to follow your heart.

"If I didn't tell her the truth Shawn, I'd regret it the rest of my life." Do you remember saying that to me? I have always maintained that I didn't grow up as fast as you or Jillian....but I did. I made a choice...I may be hated for it...but I'm standing by it.

...just like you did, Ewan.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:39 pm

Erin smiles.

Erin: Spend a couple decades in the dungeon and you'll figure it out honey.

She snaps her fingers.

Erin: That quick. I wont feel a thing.

Ewan: If you needed to "test" her..... then you already had your answer..... There was NO NEED to give here everything she wanted and then take it away the next second.

...and you claim to know the drill because you were an Edwards.... clearly you never paid attention..... otherwise you wouldn't have assumed we were coming after you.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:41 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: What would it take to get you to consider the option of not killing yourself?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:42 pm

Erin: There's nothing you or anyone else can offer me.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:44 pm

Shawn: Maybe...or maybe you and your dad never thought I was up to suff enough for your family in the first place. Who knows?...

...and as far as me 'testing' her...that was a test for ME, Ewan. You mean to tell me that you didn't think I owed it to her to try? I was upfront and honest. I wanted to see her. I didn't hide the fact that I was talking to Raquel and I told Raquel that if the spark was there with me and Erin...that was the choice I was going to make...

...but it was a choice...that I needed to make. You said so, yourself.
