3x09: Say something
Rana groaned to herself, sitting द्वारा Rachel's bed. She was finally getting discharged, and Rana, Atie and Robb had discussed what to do. Of course no one had asked Rachel anything.
"How many times do आप have dialysis again?" Rana asked as she helped Rachel up.
"Three times a week", Rachel said. "It'll be quite alright, I'll come after work", she said, hissing in pain. "Though maybe I need to take a few days of rest."
"You need to take a few weeks of rest", Rana muttered. She कहा nothing more, however, not wanting to annoy her sister even further because of where she was taking them.
Rachel had her eyes closed the entire drive back to the house. She was very tired from the medication and everything, so she didn't even notice Rana driving them to a completely different place.
"Where are we?" Rachel asked in confusion as they turned a corner, and when she recognized Robb's apartment building, she gasped. "NO!"
"Stop being so dramatic!" Rana groaned. "He just wants to help. His apartment is a gazillion times bigger than ours. And Atie, she has school. And I have stuff to do. So now, there will always be someone to babysit आप until आप get a new kidney and everythuing is fine again", she said. She took a breath, knowing that it was not as simple as that for her sister. "I know that आप don't want to do this. But do it for us. Atie could definitely use a change of scenery, and this way I can be there to help you, too."
"I don't need help", Rachel whispered. "I don't want all of आप to give up your daily lives for me."
Rana shook her head. "It's not up to you."
"Robb isn't even my boyfriend", Rachel said, trying very hard not to think about that किस of theirs as Rana helped her out of the car.
"Not now, he isn't", Rana said. "If आप ask me, you're just wasting time with this break-up thing", she was determined to fix everything for her sisters if she couldn't fix her own mess.
Robb was still at work, so Atie and Rana decided to try to cheer Rachel up with dinner. Though, because they knew nothing about cooking, it was a disaster.
"I think this is good, the whole family together", Atie कहा with a smile.
"I think you're creepy for considering Robb family", Rana made a face.
"He will be. आप just wait", Atie कहा as she tried to stir the sauce. "I don't know what I'm doing."
Rana smiled a bit, turning to the doorway as someone appeared. To her surprise it was Jasper.
"Hi", she कहा in surprise.
"Hi", Jasper said, gesturing for her to follow. "Can we talk for a bit?"
"Sure", Rana muttered, following him out of the room and into the hallway.
Atie sighed, turning to her phone as it beeped. It was a call from Liam.
"Listen, आप need to stop calling me", she कहा quickly.
"I can't", Liam said. "I'm sorry, I just... आप don't understand why I'm doing this."
"No, I don't, and I don't want to. I broke up with you. It means that I shouldn't have to do this anymore", Atie sighed. "I don't understand why you're willing to do this for your family while they treat आप like crap."
"They have never denied me anything", Liam कहा with a pleading voice. "Anything."
"Except your freedom", Atie said. "Look, आप do what आप want, I don't mind. But I won't be with someone who won't let himself be happy."
"I do want to be happy! And I will be, if आप forgive me", Liam कहा quickly. "You and I both know we're supposed to be together."
"It's what I thought, too", Atie admitted with a whisper. "But then आप decided to do the last thing I wanted आप to do."
"Atie-"
"No", Atie interrupted firmly. "No. I'm sorry that it had to come to this, because I actually प्यार you, but I can't do this. I can't get sucked into your family drama. I have plenty enough of it on my own. So just please, let it go."
"You say it like it's so easy", Liam whispered before ending the call.
Atie groaned, burying her head in her hands. She really wished that Liam didn't make it so difficult for her to forget him.
"What's up?"
"Your अगला baby check-up, I want to be there for it", Jasper कहा quickly.
"What? Why?" Rana frowned.
"It's my kid. And I know, we're giving it away, but... I just want to be there", Jasper said, sounding a bit breathless.
"I don't want आप to start getting attached", Rana warned. "I am not keeping it."
"I know", Jasper said, grabbing her द्वारा the shoulders. "Don't आप get it? I want to be there, for you. I want to make sure that you're okay. I know how hard it can be."
Rana smiled a bit, nodding. "You can be there." She remembered how she had almost confessed her प्यार to him, which made her stiffen. "Though, I-"
"I know, I know, it doesn't make us anything और than what we are", Jasper rolled his eyes. "Same old, same old."
"If you're getting tired, feel free to walk away", Rana said, looking at him with a small smile, knowing what he'd answer.
"Never", Jasper कहा firmly, nodding. "I'll take आप to the appointment then."
"Okay", Rana said. "I have one the दिन after tomorrow."
Jasper nodded. "And I would like to meet the couple that'll adopt the baby."
"Yeah", Rana murmured. "They can come here for रात का खाना again, but आप can't be dramatic. They have to like us."
"They will", Jasper chuckled. "You may be a bit difficult but I can't think of a single reason why someone wouldn't like you."
"I know", Rana lied. "I meant you", she smirked, heading back towards the kitchen. Jasper watched after her for a moment before leaving with a smile on his face.
Rana, Rachel, and Atie were sitting on the couch. Rana had her hand on her stomach and was leaning back taking deep breaths. The baby was really deciding to हटाइए these days. Atie was looking around the apartment in astonishment. Sure she’d been to the apartment a handful of times but she couldn’t believe that she was actually going to be living here. Rachel on the other hand sat on the सोफ़ा, सोफे glaring at the floor. She hated being here and no one would pick her up या drop her off and she was in no condition to drive.
“I feel like a prisoner.” Rachel muttered.
“Shut up. You’re annoying.” Rana groaned throwing her head back.
“I hate that both of आप are sick.” Aite pouted. “This is no fun.”
“‘I’m not sick. I just have a mutant growing inside of me.” Rana snapped.
“Don’t call your baby a mutant.” Rachel scolded. “Anyways, do आप want me to come to your appointment with आप tomorrow? I know Robb usually takes आप but…”
“Actually.” Rana grimaced. “I won’t be needing either of you. Jasper is taking me.”
“Oh.” Rachel mused.
“Shut up.” Rana muttered.
Just then Robb walked in through the door and smiled when he saw Rachel. “Hey.” he कहा looking at all of them. “What are आप all up to?”
Rana groaned and stood up, “Puking.” she कहा storming towards the bathroom.
Atie awkwardly glanced in between both of them. “This is awkward. Too much sexual tension. If आप do end up having sex please be quiet so I’m not scarred.” Atie कहा jumping up from the सोफ़ा, सोफे and running out the apartment.
“ATIE!” Rachel scolded but it was already too late her sister was gone. Rachel turned towards Robb and shot him an apologetic smile, “Ignore her...she’s…”
“Just being Atie. I know.” Robb कहा smiling and sitting अगला to her.
“I’m happy आप decided to stay here.”
“Uh, yeah, sure decided. और like Rana ambushed me.”
Robb groaned, “She was supposed to politely ask you.”
Rachel laughed, “You sent the wrong girl for the task.”
Robb laughed with her, “Well, either ways. I’m glad you’re here.”
“Yeah.” Rachel कहा shrugging her shoulders. “I mean it’ll be good for Atie. She’ll get the proper care she’ll need.
“And so will you.” Robb added.
Rachel kept quiet and looked away.
“Well.” Robb कहा sighing and getting up. “I set a room up for you. It’s across the hall from Rana’s and अगला to Atie’s.”
“Thanks.” Rachel smiled.
Robb nodded his head and leaned in to whisper in her ear, “But you’re always welcome in my room.”
“What are आप doing?” Rachel asked sternly. But she couldn’t help but have a smile on her face.
“I’m just informing आप that आप have options.” he smirked.
“Go away.” Rachel कहा smiling.
“Fine.” Robb laughed again. “I प्यार you.”
“Stop saying that.”
“No, I प्यार you.” Robb teased again placing a किस on her head. “Bye.”
Rachel smiled at him, “Bye.” she कहा softly.
Atie was walking the streets bored. She wasn’t sure of what to do. Finally she walked into a लोकप्रिय cafe that a lot of the teens in the town seemed to go to. She ordered a coffee and then turned around to see Damon was sitting at one of the tables. She quickly tried to leave the cafe before he saw her.
“Hey, Atie!” Damon called after her.
Atie groaned, “Dammit.” she muttered to herself. She turned around and smiled at him, “Hey.” she कहा sending him an awkward wave.
“Come sit.” Damon कहा gesturing to a सीट across from him.
“I really should be going.” Atie insisted.
Damon laughed, “Come on. Just for a little bit. I swear I'm not trying to hit on you. I have a girlfriend now.”
Atie smiled and sat across from him, “What someone actually decided to तारीख, दिनांक you? What’s wrong with her?” she teased.
Damon laughed, “Hey, आप dated me.”
“Yeah, and trust me there’s a lot wrong with me.” Atie laughed.
Damon smiled, “Her name is Elena. I don’t know we just met and we hit it off and it’s good.”
“Good.” Atie कहा genuinely smiling. “I’m happy for you.”
Damon nodded his head, “I just wanted to apologize again for the way I treated आप when we were dating.” Damon sighed.
Atie shrugged her shoulders, “We were both going through things and we stupidly tried to take comfort in one another.”
“So, we’re fine?” Damon questioned.
Atie smiled, “We’re fine.” She कहा getting up.
Damon got up as well and pulled Atie in for a hug and right when he did Liam walked in and saw the entire exchange. Atie pulled away from Damon and turned around to see Liam glaring at her, but before she could say anything he was storming out the cafe.
“What the hell was that about?” Damon questioned.
Atie rolled her eyes, “Nothing. Nothing at all.”
Rana groaned to herself, sitting द्वारा Rachel's bed. She was finally getting discharged, and Rana, Atie and Robb had discussed what to do. Of course no one had asked Rachel anything.
