Room 217, Sunday

[walks_two_paths]

After the scene at the brunch, Savannah decided that she just didn't want to be around people right now. Especially people that were here to see Eve and, by default, her.

She was unhappy about a couple of things and full of anger about others.

She left the park and came back to the dorms. She wanted to slam doors, but she didn't. She calmly entered her room and then was even calmer as she went to the bed and sat down on it.

She clenched her fists in her lap and tried to take some deep breaths to calm herself down.

It wasn't working very well.

"You know," he said as he followed her into the room, "I didn't exactly want that to come out that way. But Savannah, the man's a dick."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"How. Dare. He." Savannah seethed through clenched teeth. "No right. He had no right."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I pretty much told him that yesterday at the cafe. He's annulling our marriage." He looked at her. "Which I told him didn't matter. When your legal, we'll get married then."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She took another breath and then nodded. "Serve him right if we did it on my damn birthday." Her voice was shaking.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"He won't be a part of it," he said firmly. "I mean it. I don't want him anywhere near me on that day."

He frowned. "He mentioned you going to art school in Paris or Rome."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah bolted up from the bed and started pacing.

"But I don't want to go to art school in Paris or Rome! I want to go in New York City if I can get in!"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"And you will. I don't see what the problem is."

He watched her.

"Are you... you're going to be okay when I leave, aren't you Savannah?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah stopped, her whole body stiffening. She was quiet for a moment. "Of course I'm not going to be okay. I'm going to be devastated when you leave, but it's not like we'll never talk or see each other again."

She turned to look at him, suspicion dawning. "What did he say, Johnny?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"He said a lot of shit," he replied, honestly.

"Too much. Enough that he knew I was liable to go off on him because dickface threw up a barrier to protect Benicio."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah slumped against the wall, looking at the floor. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I'm sorry. I told him to back off when we argued the other night." She swallowed. "I never thought he'd try to pay you off to get his way."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"He doesn't want me with you and he'll do anything to achieve that, which is asking me to tell him how much I think you're worth. I had but to name my price and walk away." He shook his head.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I can't believe he even thought that you would." She swallowed.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"He's an asshole."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah just covered her face with her hands for a long moment.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny sat down on the bed.

"What are we going to do?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"About which part?" She asked softly.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Let's start with the part where we're supposed to meet up with him at the hotel."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She finally looked at him from where she was still slumped against the wall.

"We're not going."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He could deal with that just fine.

"Can he take you from here if he wanted?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah took a deep breath.

"Not if he wanted to ever see me again," she finally admitted. "He could tell Paige and Lucas everything and they would take me out of here... and then I would take off. None of them want that."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Then what the hell is his problem with me?" he asked, knowing Savannah probably couldn't answer that.

"Hell... maybe you are too young," he muttered, running a hand through his hair.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She started to say something to his question, but bit back a small gasp when he said the second part. She lifted her head to look over at him from the wall where she slid down to sit on the floor.

"Too young," her voice small and there was bitterness in it. "Too young for what? Too young to love you like I do? Too young to want to have a future with you? Too young to have been through so much even before coming here? To young to know that there are people that want me dead by virtue of my blood?"

She never raised her voice.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He couldn't look at her but the conversation yesterday made him think, even if he thought Benicio was a dick.

"Am I being unfair? I'm going to be leaving. Is it unfair to make you deal with a long distance relationship?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah was pretty sure there was a weight on her chest and it was making it hard to breathe. She struggled for enough air to answer him.

"Are you asking this because you want me to answer? O-or are you asking because you're wondering he's right?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"He's not right," he said without hesitation, because he believed that. Had to believe it.

"I want to know what you think."
