Rm 217, Tuesday after classes

[fantastic_torch]

To say that radio hadn't bothered him, was an understatement. It had really pissed him off to know that Savannah had blabbered her mouth to practically everyone. Might as well have considering who all knew now.

Whatever, he went to her karaoke class anyway and watched her perform. After that he took off. He didn't bother to go to her cheerleading practice like he normally would have. Instead he came back to the dorms, took a shower, halfway dressed, and grabbed a beer from the mini-fridge.

Parking his butt in a chair, he turned on the TV and started flipping through channels.

[Door is open, as is the post. ETA: Savannah & Johnny's convo is NFB. Anyone that comes visiting or to kick his ass, does so after Savannah's already come and gone.]

He really wasn't in the mood for company but when he looked over and saw Lana, he waved her in. "Hey... thought you'd be out all day." He knew she left with Stark, he saw that much last night.

"Hey," she said, looking pretty embarrassed. "I'm sorry I just left on you last night."

"No... no sorries necessary. You... okay though, yeah?"

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

"Not really," she said quietly. "But I deserve whatever I get."

"Anyway, just wanted to apologize."

"Lana," he said quietly. "That's not a healthy way to think, sweetheart."

Johnny could easily forget his own problems in the face at that.

"Not much of what I do lately has been healthy," she said even more quietly. "I just make one screw-up after another."

"Come here, sit down here..." he patted the edge of the bed where he was currently sitting.

She hesitated, but finally came and sat down.

"Is all this about this last weekend?" he asked her quietly.

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Well..." Lana started to hedge, then shook her head. "Not really, no. Though last weekend really didn't help."

She sighed. "Like my nightmares weren't bad enough before this."

"...still having them," he stated, more to himself. "Lana, have you been to a doctor, you know, one of those kind of doctors to see if maybe they could help you?"

"When I was a kid and on up into high school before I came here, yeah, off and on. Never seemed to do any good. They only get really bad when I get stressed."

She rubbed at her face. "They've actually been fairly good lately for the most part."

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

"Still, there might be something new out there, something that one of them can do, help you. I don't know, maybe some sort of magic shit that can make it all better."

He paused.

"What happened last night," he asked her quietly.

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She dropped her face into her hands. "I got really drunk and I did something really stupid."

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

His arm went around her shoulders in a comforting manner. "Lana. You didn't... did you?"

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She couldn't look at him, trying to hide the tears in her eyes. "Yeah," she whispered.

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Ah, shit. Well, she was drunk. Hell, he knew what it was like to do stupid shit when you were drunk.

'Course Johnny knew what it was like to do stupid shit when you weren't drunk either. Hello world!

"Lana, don't beat yourself up over that. It's something that just happens sometimes and you were drunk, you know? I'm not saying that as a means for an excuse, but hell... you are attractive."

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Oh, well, at least I'm attractive," Lana said with a sigh. "God. Ever since I got back from the past... This isn't the first time."

She went bright red. "Oh, god, forget I said that. I shouldn't be dumping all this on you anyway."

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"I... didn't mean that the way it probably sounded," he said, knowing that, yeah, he probably did.

"What... no, you know you can talk to me. It's what I'm here for. And who else? I mean, not that it's any of my business but I do understand lonliness." Kind of.

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

Lana sighed again. "Lucas Scott. Just after I got back. We ended up drinking in my room and... And we decided to have a sort of friends with benefits arrangement, which is so not like me, but he - being with him was the only thing that made me less miserable - made me feel like I still belonged here."

"Then, prom night... I ended up in bed with my date... And please, just keep this between us, okay?"

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He raised his brows. But hey, Johnny was no one to sit back and judge. Not at all. "Lana, things just sometimes happen. Can't go around blaming yourself constantly, you know?"

Johnny wasn't going to say a word, but he wasn't sure about the squirrels. "No, I wouldn't say anything, Lana, trust me. Who was your prom date?"

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She just shook her head. "Doesn't matter. I just... I don't like who I am very much right now. I don't know what's wrong with me. It's so not the way I am."

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing wrong with you. Hell, if I were any other guy I would try to sleep with you and I'm not saying that negatively. I just mean, being drunk, with you, well... I'd try to take advantage and if you let me, I'd do it."

Quite possibly he wasn't helping matters here. Er.

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Nothing wrong with me. Right. Except that I sleep with anyone who shows me the slightest bit of attention and interest." She turned her head away trying to compose herself. "That's just who I want to be. Fandom slut. ... I used to be a good girl."

No, it really wasn't helping, but she knew he meant well.

Re: Well After Savannah but before Anders

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"No. God. If anyone calls you a slut you tell me, I'll kick their ass. Everyone craves attention, Lana. Hell, before Savannah?" Pause. "Well, nevermind, but you see what I'm saying, right?"
