REMI SMOAK

I know that Elena is going to be upset with me. There's no way she couldn't be, after all, i missed her Birthday party after promising to attend. I'm not a hero, I'm just a computer engineer who also happens to be able to hack almost anything. So when the chance arose to help someone who was in a bad situation, I took it. Everyone has something bad about them, and when you get reach into every corner of their lives then it's not so difficult to find out what makes them who they are. This world lakes decent people, Mrs Darling and Elena (perhaps Sheila too) being the last, if not only, truly decent people left in this world. The gentleman that runs the coffee shop at the corner of town isn't a good man, he was there last night, when I was supposed to be at her party, and it was then that I decided to inform the Peacekeepers of his illegal dealings with rebels within the district.

Peacekeepers aren't good people as well, I'm sure they're the ones that are following me every day. I can feel their eyes on my back, I know you can see them too. Because you see what I see, you feel what I feel, that's why you know that the real reason I didn't attend her party was because I couldn't. That after getting that man arrested I stood outside the door to the bar for two hours, shielding myself away from the light every time anyone went to leave. You'll know that I grabbed that handle and tried to force myself in there, but you see, you also know, just as I do, that humans are horrible people and that I cannot be around them. It's easier to deal with Elena's anger.

ELENA SMOAK

Elena was angry, in fact she was furious.

She felt like she could rip the head off of Mr. Bunny who sat diligently in the corner of the room, watching with is dead bead like eyes. But she refrained herself, resulting to beating her fingers angrily against the desk in her office, her teeth gnawing on the end of her pen. How could Remi do this to her? How could Remi had stood her up. After everything that Elena had done for her, after everything her family had given her... Elena knew that they were just the petty reasons behind the real fuel to her rage.

Huffing she climbs to her feet angrily, tossing her pen across the room before making her way to the door, her fingers closing around the handle she rips it open.

'Remi?"

Elena pouts, her hands snaking to her hips, her eyes shooting daggers in the direction of the girl who was known as her sister.

REMI SMOAK

See, I told you she was going to be upset. You and I both knew she was going to do that get angry at us. This isn't one of those few things I actually make up in my mind, and it's hard to watch because I somehow feel as though it is my fault that I didn't attend, but you and I both know better. We know that my demons couldn't get past that door, instead they had me pinned down.

The door is torn open in front of me, my fist lingering millimetres from where the door had been. It had taken enough courage to head towards her, knowing that the anger that was leaking from beneath the door was about to be thrown in my direction. Taking a startled step backwards I drop my hands to my sides, eyes widening as I swallow, breathing heavy. It seems I overestimated the rage that Elena could have over missing her Birthday, the social aspect of getting a man arrested last night was far easier then dealing with this. The social practice I had afforded myself yesterday seemed to fade away, as though I hadn't done that at all. In the face of this new problem, I wasn't sure what to say, what to do.

Did you know what to say? "I'm sorry."

ELENA SMOAK

Instantly Elena felt the guilt sweep over her, flushing the anger from her body. She knew, deep down, that she couldn't blame Remi. Remi had some serious issues, ones that even Elena herself could barely understand. So as the apology danced through the air it swept away her annoyance and replaced it with something a little lighter.

"No no, its fine." Elena smiles slightly, brushing delicate finger across her brow, pushing her hair to the side. "I know you struggle with these things, it just hurt you know?" Shrugging slightly she moves aside, inviting her sister into her office with a sweeping arm. "I am being petty, I know." It was usually rare for Elena to admit such things, she was not known for easily admitting to fault, in fact she was one opinionated woman who always believed herself to be correct. But when it came to family Elena was different. Her tough girl act dropped, leaving her vulnerable to feeling such as kindness.

"Come in, got some bubbly to get turnt up in this house," a chuckle escaped her lips as she saluters deeper into the room, looking over her shoulder once to make sure her sister was following.

REMI SMOAK

It started with Sheila three years ago. When we first began the transactions I made her promise me that she'd never sell the morphine to me unless she had the suboxone to. Without that I was screwed , the withdrawals would tear into me and I'd be on my death bed trying to survive something I wasn't sure, in the end, if I wanted to. So between the ecstasy, and the morphine I was more often then not in a state of unemotional attachment. It was something I needed, to get through each day in the boring job I did. It was required for me to function, to get up every day and go to that shit hole they called a job.

The points few and far between that made this life durable were fading fast. But it was at times like this that I realised I there was more good seeping through the cracks then I first realised.

The anger faded as quickly as it came, Elena's face softening as she raised a hand to gently brush the side of her face. Quickly she turned, inviting me inside, with a bunch of words I wasn't entirely sure meant. However, I swallowed sharply knowing I had to do this, to go inside. "I'll have one drink." I respond, moving to sit at the chair by the side of the room. Yes, there were a few people in this world I could trust.
