Family Dinners (Closed)

"That is none of your business." Rowan snarked as Marrin took control again. "You don't need to know." She said curtly.

“We don’t really talk about what goes on up here” Alfie points to his temple, “we’re kinda supposed to…but only with certain people”

“‘Cause it makes some people ‘uncomfortable’” Alfie says, quoting someone

(I was going to establish it as I went)

"Quite frankly if everybody knew the extent of what happened in Marrin's mind, no one would go near her." Ed spoke again as the others told Crimson, who was about to slap a bitch, to calm down.

"We're all here to get better!" Alfie says, not sounding like it was something he'd say, no matter how positive he was, "Besides, it's not good for some of us"

Marrin snorted. "Some of us, yeah. I know I'm staying here for a long, long time."

"Well, that's all the more time to get better. Plus, I don't plan on leaving any time soon either..well more like my doctor doesn't plan on me leaving soon" Alfie messes with a small ring he often wears and smiles, "That's alright though!"

"I don't want them to leave, therefore no I will not "get better" as you say."

Alfie pouts and tilts his head, "but…they seem like a large inconvenience for you, and they make you upset…"

"They're my family." Marrin says simply, the others all cheering in agreement.

"..Oh! Well I suppose I understand then." Alfie says and looks down at his ring.

Sage had stayed silent until she finished her food. She wanted to gag and throw it away, but something made her eat it.

You ungrateful girl! All that I've done for you and this is how you repay me? Hpmh, I bet this'll teach you won't it? C'mere!!

Sage gasped and pushed herself from the table. Standing upright, she grabbed the plate and threw the whole entire plate away. "Goodnight lovelies…." she muttered as she left, pecking Charlie on the cheek and racing up the stairs. The moment played again and again in her mind, she fought against it as pain began to exploded on her body, she stumbled before Robin's room. She shook furiously.

Suddenly, she heard steps, loud and fast. So, you think you can run from me, Princess? You're just making this worse… The voice echoed in her mind. He echoed in her mind. Instantly, she was back in their two story home, running from her father as he chased her. Intimidated her. Beat her. Infuriated her. Sage scrambled to her room and slammed the door. She immediately began to move her furniture in front of the door, blockading it, locking herself in and everyone else. He pounded on the door, the sound much louder and harsher in her mind. You open this door right now! He demanded. Or I'll break it down!

Crawling into a corner, Sage whimpered. She was a fool for thinking she was finally okay, finally normal. She would never be normal.

Boom

Boom

BOOM

He began to ram in the door, she could see the furniture jump at the contact. Her whimpers turned into loud and shrill wails.

((Just a little bit of backstory for Sagie…))

Go check on her. Ed instructed Marrin as she stood up. "I'm going to see if she's okay."

((Don't worry, what she experienced is all in her mind, a past memory. Though she did just barricade herself into her room and she is screaming like a banshee))

((Oh, Okay then nvm))

Alfie looks up towards the stairs, “Its one of Sage’s episodes, you still should definitely stay down here..more than one person checking on her isn’t a good idea…”

"Ed says to do it and If I don't do it, he will." Marin says, stalking up the stairs.

Alfie stands, he mutters something before smiling and gathering the leftover mess on the table, “Well, not our worst dinner!” He begins to clean up everything

((Off-topic: I love Alfie))
