[Erin Hackett]

Ugh, this was stupid. This was lame. It was more than lame, it was so zeta lame. Why were they even having this fight? Why was she even bothering sticking around with this stupid fight. She should have just left and forgot about Quinn. The debt was paid and she was still confused on if he did actually want her around or not. He said he didn't want her around for the life debt but he never actually made it clear that he wanted her around in general. So many questions and so much stress from all of this that Erin honestly didn't want to deal with it anymore.

She had already decided to leave Quinn alone for some time and let him be the one to come to her if he still wanted to hang out. She would make it clear that she still wanted or at least didn't mind hanging out with him but it would be him that would have to reach out to her next time. She was done reaching out to him only to get her hand smacked or to feel like she was currently feeling. "No, but you should at least like...I don't know. You should see how hard I'm trying and the fact that I said I don't mind hanging out with you after this...just never mind. I don't want to talk anymore." Erin said as she let out a heavy sigh.

Erin planned to stay in that silence, munching away on the piece of candy he gave her and then going to eat her own as she wiped her eyes. This was still stupid and then to top it off now Quinn was leaving. What a jerk. Erin felt like she should just pack up there and go back to her room to shoot some zombies in the head. Hell, she probably mod them to look like Quinn to really get her anger out but she didn't feel like moving just yet. Thankfully too, because Quinn ended up coming back and tossing a roll of toilet paper at her. She didn't really need it, but it was...a nice action all the same. "...thanks." Erin mumbled out as she used some of it before going back to snacking.

She still didn't know what to say and was just kind of waiting for the movie to end and Quinn to make the moves now to show that he did want her as a friend. She was done trying until he actually started to try back. Still, she thought finishing off the movie and then going their separate ways was probably for the best.

Did Quinn want to hang out with Erin? He couldn’t even think of that as he was trying to process what this pointless fight brought up. She claimed she wanted to be around him not just because she felt like she owed him. Could it be true? Quinn found it very hard to believe. Who wanted to be around him without a reason other than wanting his company? He couldn’t say he didn’t like her gifts. The camera, this little movie, even the fact she kept going after him. He never had that before or, to be precise, he might have had something like that when he was very young but that seemed like it was in another life to him. He didn’t know how to react and this confusion just made him even more upset than he already was.

She didn't want to talk about it anymore and Quinn had no idea what he was supposed to say. He needed time to think. It had been so long since he let someone be his friend that he just didn’t know how to or if he should trust someone. Erin didn’t really look that dangerous but he knew what she could do. Besides, he still found it hard to care for someone when he was pretty sure they’ll just walk away, taking another piece of him as if there were still that many left.

When he left to fetch her something for her tears, he figured she’d be really angry. He said nothing and after the fight, she must think he just left her there. He tried to be quick before she freaked out or anything. He came back and she was still there. She didn’t even stop the movie. He heard her mumbling something that sounded like a thanks. “I couldn’t find tissues in the basement,” he explained with a shrug to justify why he left and why she had toilet paper instead. He didn't want to say anything else until the movie was over though, mainly because he had no idea what else could be said. It was best then to remain silent.

[Erin Hackett]

Silence. So much silence that Erin didn't really plan on breaking since she didn't really know what to say after all of this. The debt was paid, Quinn said the debt never mattered, and it was still up in the air if he actually wanted her to be around or not. She supposed if she just came out and asked specifically what she wanted to know that would solve the problem of confusion. However; she could not, not when it had already taken a lot out of her to just be confrontational with Quinn face to face. At least she knew she could do it, even if she felt like a ton of brick had been dropped on her after when the emotions started to settle down.

Was this what friendship was? Hanging out, getting mad at one another, fighting, and then not knowing what happened next so it just sat there? Erin didn't know, she as still trying to get used to having friends or people that she assumed were her friends. "It's fine...this works." Erin muttered back as she used some of the toilet paper. It was pretty much the same thing, it was just one was tailored to be soft for your face and the other came in all sorts of ranges and was designed to dissolve in the toilet. They both remained there then, just in the silence until the movie was over. Once it was Erin moved to shut everything down and started to pack up. There was no point in trying to re-watch it or ask Quinn if he wanted to watch another one.

She didn't feel like hanging out anymore, let alone being around anyone at the moment. It didn't take her long to pack all of her things up, everything tucked away safely and soon the bag going over her shoulder. Then she packed up the snacks, leaving one of everything she had brought down with her in one bag that she placed near Quinn and picked up the rest in the other bag. "That’s for you...see you." Erin responded with a voice that sounded tired, and with that she turned to leave and go back to her room. It was going to be on Quinn to reach out to her next time if he did in fact want her to be his friend and hang around him like she wanted to.
