Joke Thirty Five | Everyone leaves me

[crazy_clownwoman]

[Harley has been having a blast, Halloween coming up after all. The best holiday of all. And they were going to have a great time! Everything was awesome for once! 
Of course it never lasts. She found Vince dusting the toy shop. A quick run to his house and she see's everything she needs to. ...Or more like the lack of everything she needs to. She is not pleased.

The phone is knocked off the hook. Mayfield you may now here a HIGHLY distraught woman yelling through tears. It sounds like someone is throwing things as well.]

-OUT OF IT!  VINCE! 

Stop it! Stop it right now! 

[A smash]

"Mrs. Quinn I think we should get to work."

DON'T CALL ME THAT! 

"Well I'm going to go and clean the window's now. Keep an eye on the shop won't you?"

[And just sobbing now.]

.....You weren't supposed to leave me....

[Harley notices the phone and grabs it up.]

Fine! Take everyone away from me why don't you! What's the point! I try and try and EVERY TIME they leave. I'm tired of all of this. Torturing us every month, taking away people. Bringing people back who don't remember you anyway!

Well I've had it! I QUIT! I'm not doing anything here ever again! I don't CARE if I get droned. This place is horrible! And whoever's doing this is a sick freak! 

[And with that she slams the phone down and marches home. Call back? Try to drag her out of her locked bedroom? She's inside crying but she'll answer the phone or a knock on the door.]

It sucks.

I reckon it hurts hard, like a sucker punch.

...this might sound like very redundant advice to ya then, but ya can't give up. Not in this town. Now I don't know you or your friend, but I'm guessin' that the two of you are real good buddies. And real good buddies would hate for ya to be all sad and the like. Your friend would be kickin' and punchin' himself in the face for makin' ya this unhappy. I'm not sayin' ya can't be sad that he's not here right now because that'd just be silly, but all I'm sayin' is that ya can't let that be the reason why you decide ta throw in the towel.

Now you've been stuck here two years. I'm guessin' you knew this fella for around that time? Well, would ya want ta trade away all the good fun times ya had with'im, just so that you could avoid the hurt? God gives the good, and with that good comes a lil bad. But it's not like you'll never get ta see'im again. This town ain't gonna hold us forever, soon enough someone's gonna slip up. And that's when we'll break outta here and help the others who got droned. Maybe if we solve this puzzle, we can bring'em back.

I guess what I'm sayin' is that givin' up ain't no way ta be, because you're givin' the town the satisfaction of breakin' ya. Rather, I'd recommend ya carry on and show the damn Mother Hubbards that messin' with ya is the wrong thing ta do. That'd be a lot more satisfyin', both ta yourself and your friend.

.......no....I wouldn't....

We had lots of fun....even here.

[hardhat-truckie.livejournal.com]

There ya go. And I reckon that if it happened the other way around, he'd feel the same way too.

Miss, I know how it feels when someone precious to ya leaves. It's the most gut-wrenching, awful feelin' in the world, and sometimes you just have ta wonder why it had ta happen, and how unfair it all is. But as they say in Texas, The Lord never closes one door without opening another one. He may not be with ya at the moment, but that don't mean that ya won't ever meet'im again. S'long as you truly still care about'im, he'll always be with ya; in spirit, if not in the flesh.

Now I may be a spring chicken compared to ya when it comes ta how long we're in Mayfield, but I've been through my fair share of ups and downs in this crazy rodeo called life, and I can honestly tell ya that this is the best advice I can give ya. And I wish that there was someone around ta tell me this, when I lost someone dear ta me too.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah....I've been through a lot of stuff before this too.


....got through that I suppose.

[hardhat-truckie.livejournal.com]

You seem like a girl who's seen her fair share of troubles in the world, but you sound strong ta me. If you can get through alla those hard times, than I'm pretty sure y'all can manage it this time round. Just gotta keep tryin', no matter how many times this town wants ta knock ya down. And I'm sure that you have other friends out there who are willin' ta help ya out as well, and who're probably worried 'bout ya.

I don't know if I managed ta help ya much, but I hope ya feel slightly better. If not, ya can just call me up again if ya want. My name's Engie, so you know who to ask for on the phone.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh....I'm Harley. Harley Quinn.

[hardhat-truckie.livejournal.com]

It's nice ta meet'cha, Miss Quinn.

Tell ya what. If you're free sometime in the day and ya happen ta be 'round town, come by the bakery and I'll treat ya ta somethin' nice. It won't take the sting away, but it certainly helps ta make ya feel better if ya got somethin' nice and hot ta eat.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

.....thanks. That's nice of you.

[hardhat-truckie.livejournal.com]

It's no problem at all. We're all in this together now, so don't go thinkin' y'all alone. If anythin', you'll have ol'Engie here ta fall back on, if ya need a friend.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

.....thanks.
