Have Some Pity?

[Rebekka Knight]

During some part of the night Rebekka decided to have some fun. She already was in a way. She was out to the bar. Already had a few drinks in her. Typically people would text and harass their exes. Considering Rebekka didn't have any, she did the next best thing. Text and harass strangers. There were a few new numbers in her phone she didn't remember putting in there. She must've put them in at some point, but at the moment her mind was too fuzzy to remember correctly. She also currently didn't care all too much.

Eventually she picked someone out of the contact list and decided to give it a go. But what should she say? Rebekka thought for a bit. She decided to go the sympathetic route. Who knows? Maybe the person would actually come to the bar. Now that she would get a kick out of.

Hey you mind coming over to the hole in the wall?

The date I was supposed to meet ended up being a no show.

Rebekka had to snicker at the blatant lie. The image of her actually going on a date was too funny. Still, it was good bait for anyone who might have a nice bone in their body. Whether or not they actually showed up was something to be seen.  Rebekka just waved down the bartender for another drink and waited.

[Bell Connelly]

Bell really didn’t like to do this, or at least she made not a point not to go out and about at this time of night. After all, she had to get up early that morning, if was coming up to the end of the school year, which only meant a mad rush of papers, markings, exams and just generally trying to make sure all of the school affairs were all in order.


“Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise” Really who was she to argue with Benjamin Franklin.


In fact she was just preparing to turn in for the night when she received a very strange text from a…..Rebekka Knight? The name seemed vaguely familiar to her, she remembered talking to someone with that name at the very start if the year..Even though she was afraid that she had never had a talk with her and yet she was here…...reaching out to her…..


….Well that was only ever going to be one response to that, sure some people might text her a helpful message….but Bell couldn’t just leave it there. She was reaching out o her, she couldn;t just leave her there could she?


Seeing as this was Bell the answer was no…


Which was how Bell found herself in Matt’s Hole in The wall -Wrinkling her nose at the smell of stale of alcohol- before she gingerly approached the woman she vaguely recognised who she thought was the one who sent her the text gingerly tugging at her home made sweater "Excuse me? Rebekka?"

[Rebekka Knight]

Plenty of time passed, and honestly Rebekka thought nothing was going to come out of her little text. Why would it? She'd texted a total strange she could only faintly remember meeting at school. Even then the memory could be false. For all Rebekka knew, she could have someone exchanged numbers with someone when she was out. Maybe it was a friend of one of the few friends she had? Although that possibility was even far less likely than it being a total stranger. Whatever the case, eventually Rebekka stopped caring.

Until she heard someone call out her name. Rebekka turned where she was sitting. Suddenly the memories came back as fresh as a slap. How could she forget that color of hair? it was definitely someone from the school. There was some brief meeting early on and numbers had been exchanged. Somehow Rebekka had gotten this Bell's. At the moment she didn't care for that. What Rebekka cared about was the fact she was there. The surprise was frankly evident in Rebekka's expression.

"You came!" it was an obvious statement more said from her surprise than anything. "I honestly thought you'd ignore my text. Especially at this hour."
