I knock softly on the door.
This was Will's place I think.
Just thought I'd stop by and see what he was up to.

Will sat on the couch, glaring at the floor, listening to Row talking to herself in the other room."...98...99...100...FUCKING LIAR! 1...2....3..."
Then, thankful of a knock at the door to distract me, he opens it a crack, "Name and purpose, please...Oh, hey Maddie."
He opens the door fully, "You can come in if you don't mind the noise."

I smile weakly,"Hey Will, noise is fine, been all too quiet for me lately." I say coming in.

"Now if only it were quiet here," he smiles weakly back, flinching at the loud crash from the room next door.
"Row! You better fix that when you're done!"
"Fuck off!"
"Yeah, Row's here. Best not to talk to her when she's like this," he forces a laugh, "Can I get you anything to eat or drink or whatever? Make yourself at home by the way, sorry about the mess."

"Water's fine Will," I say sitting down on the couch,"I'm not saying long, got a train to catch in about an hour."

He went into the kitchen, getting her a glass of water then stopped, sticking his head back round the doorframe, "Train? Where you going? Why you going? When you coming back?"

"Planning on going to France, 'cos I have to, and no, I'm not coming back."

He blinked a few times, then walked back through to the other room, handing her a glass of water and ignoring the yell of "...100! Motherfucking liar!..." from the other room.
"Why?" he asks after a moment.

I nod taking the glass from him."Cos I'm done here Will, I can't do this anymore." I say quietly.
MarilynMadeline, I want to play a game. It's called 'Guess who fooled you.' It's called 'Guess who never loved you.' It's called 'Guess who's a fucking liar and a good one at that'.

"Can't do what-..." he stops, "That's it."
He get's to his feet immediately, "I understand now. That's-...that's what went wrong. I get it! I got it! Row, I got it!" He grins, then abruptly stops grinning, "But I got it too late."
He aims a kick at a neary table frustratedly, "Fuck."
Then realising his behaviour was completely inexplicable, he sits down again, "Sorry, care to explain?"

I keep my head down, gripping the glass tightly,"No, not really."
You can't even-...can't even look at him...Fucking hell...You actually fell in love with him, didn't you? You actually did!
"Look Will, I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell Chris I'm leaving."

Will's throat seemed to close up slightly, "Chris is dead."

"Maddie...I know, Logan is dead. And Chris is too." He says quietly, "He-...and if he's not, then it's a matter of time. Fin'll be after him by now and he doesn't stand a chance. Rowan's out looking, see if he can find a body, or something. If he can't, we assume he's hiding and he'll be dead in a matter of-..." He stops, "Fuck. If-...that stupid stubborn bastard! I told him...I told him, it wouldn't work. I told him something would go wrong and he said no, he said you trusted him, he said he'd make it work and look what fucking happened!"

"I did trust him, and I did love him." I say quietly,"Not anymore."
It's called 'Guess who never loved you.'

He sank back in his chair, "I told him. I fucking told him. Oh God...no, I didn't. I encouraged him! Oh fuck! Oh fucking shit bastard bitch cunt whore!"
He put his hands over his eyes, "Maddie, it was all a lie. What him and Logan were saying...he tricked Logan. He didn't mean it. We've had him going for weeks now, where Ian's supposedly been selling me out, taking orders again, we had him believing Ian was double-crossing everyone here, and it's bene building up and up and up until we got to the point where he trusted him enough so that we could lead him into-...well, his death basically, but then Logan says he wants to go and see you, and we thought that we were boned then, but Ian said-...he said you trusted him, he said he'd find someway to get you to play along because you trusted him, and then next thing I know he turns up here, and he just said it'd gone wrong, he'd killed Logan, and then he just left again and-...Oh Jesus..."

I keep my eyes fixed on the floor, not flinching as he says any of this.
I didn't know what to believe anymore, I was just so tired of all of it.
The secrets, the lies..everything.
I felt cold inside, I felt empty.
Numb. Logan's voice rang out in my head.
"I don't care Will." I say after a moment.

"What do you mean you don't care? How can you not care?" He says in disbelief, "My best friend, your boyfriend...how can you not care? He was trying...he sold his soul to keep the people like us, people he cared about, he was trying to keep us safe...how can you not care?"

"I give up." I say quietly, more to myself then him."I'm done."
I look up at him,"There is only so much I can take Will."

"No, you can't give up, it's not fucking fair!" He says loudly, standing up, "It's not! I know there is only so much a person can take, okay? I know, I'm reaching the limit myself here, but you want to blame someone for this, you blame me. Not him. He wanted to tell you, you know. He wanted to tell you all of this, I stopped him. The lies, the secrets, were because I convinced him to keep quiet about the whole stupid plan. And anything else that's broken you down, is beyond anyone elses control."

You can't even-...can't even look at him...Fucking hell...You actually fell in love with him, didn't you? You actually did!
"It's my fault it went wrong." I say quietly,"I didn't listen to him, I didn't trust him, and I'm paying the price now. No boyfriend, no baby, nothing. I paniced, and when I panic I start fights, it's my fault. Doesn't matter now, I don't have anything anymore. I don't beileve in anything either. Not faith, not hope, and not love."

"No, it is Will. It's my fault." I mutter,"And I'm done. With faith and hope. Ian was right, it's all bollocks,"

I shurg non-commitedly, eyes fixed on the floor."Then I'm done with life Will, it doesn't mean anything to me anymore."
