You irresponsible fucks

Alexithymiaa: -After desperately aavoiding Kelsey all weekend, Brad finally gave in and returned home. He begrudgingly walked into the lobby, keeping his head down as he fumbled with his ID to actually gain access to the hallway. He stopped in front of his door, giving it a shove open to head inside.-
Covet: Kelsey had been pretty miserable all weekend, feeling guilty, which meant that Connor pretty much got whatever he wanted and was spoiled. Thankfully he'd gone to bed early, which left Kelsey sitting on the couch trying desperately to keep her puffy eyes open long enough to work on writing the section of the song she was asked to help compose. Her head was throbbing and she was drinking some tea hoping the Caffiene would help.
Alexithymiaa: -Once he waas in his room, he dropped his backpack down onto the floor , kicking it to the side and glancing around his room. Realizing he was starving, he turned and made his way out into the hallway to begin heading in the direction of the kitchen. He caught sight of Kelsey sitting on the couch, almost immediately diverting his eyes and continuing on to the kitchen.-
Covet: Kelsey heard Brad walk in and glanced over at him watching him walk by, completely ignoring her. She sighed and looked down in her mug to see it almost empty, and the song not even started. Moving her laptop she shifted it to the couch then got up to make her way tentitvely into the kitchen. Setting her mug down on the counter she spoke softly to Brad, " There's Turkey and mashed potatoes and green bean cassarole in a tupperware for you, leftovers from Mom's."
Alexithymiaa: -He pretended he didnt hear her food suggestion, walking to the fridge to pull it open and stare into it, trying to decide what he could just pop in the microwave without accepting her leftovers. Reaching for the package of hotdogs, he turned and grabbed a pot, filling it with water to stick on the stove and then dropping a few hotdogs into the water.-
Covet: Watching him get out the hot dogs she sighed and put the tea kettle on a different burner so she could get it warmed up and got out her box of tea and the honey. "Bradley... I.." She started but then stopped because she didn't know what she was supposed to say, she was in the wrong, but she knew that Sorry wasn't going to cut it.
Alexithymiaa: -He turned to stare at her when she addressed him, pausing to wait for her to finish and when she didn't, he turned away to babysit his hotdogs.-
Covet: She watched him then just put her head down. "I don't know what I'm suppose to say to you right now... So maybe you could help me out and you could give me a direction?" Kelsey asked him timidly.
Alexithymiaa: "You don't know what you're supposed to say?" He snapped at her quickly, his head whipping in her direction. "Oh I don't know, why don't you start off with fucking apologizing for being a raging hypocrite? That seems like a really good opening statement."-
Covet: Kelsey winced and looked back at him with a hurt look, but bitch you don't get the right to be hurt. Then she took a deep breath, biting her cheek for a moment before she spoke up, "And if I say that is it going to fix anything? Cause I don't want to go and waste a good genuine apology now, if it's not even going to be at least considered."
Alexithymiaa: "Of course apologizing isn't going to fix anything, but also nothing will be fixed without an apology." He retorted, starign down at his boiling hotdogs. "You made such a big fucking deal about the fact that I'd done it a few times at parties, and then you go behind my back and use recreationally for a month? Are you kidding me?"-
Covet: "I know! You don't think I've literally been beating myself up over this all weekend?" She asked him in a slightly louder tone. "I was going to tell you, But.. then we just got busy.. and well.. Yeah.." She said opening up the tea bag to put it into her mug.
Alexithymiaa: "We got busy? Is that really your excuse? You said you've been doing it for a month. How many moments alone over the last month did we have that you could have told me? Over a dozen! That's such a bullshit cop out excuse and you know it. You were just too much of a coward to tell me. So what, I'm supposed to be open and honest with you about every action in my life, but I don't deserve the same courtesy?"-
Covet: Kelsey bit the inside of her cheek. "I didn't want to ruin those moments with this conversation. Because I knew you were going to be upset, because I am a hypocrite about it. I'm not even using it recreationally, I'm using it to stay caught up with everything." She said crossing her arms, "If it was recreationally, it would be for fun, not because I had to." Kelsey said, even though that's so not going to be any beter.
Covet: *better
Alexithymiaa: "Becaause you had to?" He stammered, gawking at her. "You know what normal people do to get caught up? They work their asses off and they don't cheat and take the easy way out. It only makes it worse that you're not doing it for fun, you're doing it because you need it. You're a user." He saaid harshly at her.-
Covet: "I HAVE BEEN WORKING MY ASS OFF! FOR YEARS! ALL THE TIME!" Kelsey said exasperated. "So much so that I can't keep up, without making up time, by staying up late." She said then furrowed her brow when he called her a user. "I'm NOT a user." She lied like a dog, in pure denial.
Alexithymiaa: "Oh yeah? What about the times you've been feeling under the weather lately? Was that because you didn't get your fix?" He said aggressively, stepping a little closer to her. "The rest of us work our asses off and make it work. Not turn to fucking drugs to make it easier."-
Covet: "No... I don't know.. Maybe?" Kelsey said wincing as she stepped back. "It's different for you, You only just recently started working hard. I've been doing it for so long." She said again, "I've been doing pop up performances, and interviews and flights, and morning show appearances, all to get this next album dropped next month."
Alexithymiaa: "What about the rest of the people in the world that don't have to turn to drugs to get their shit done? WHat about all the other single moms that aren't pop stars that are working two jobs with no nanny and are still the best mom to their kids?" Twisting the knife. "What about them? Should they all just turn to drugs too since it's obviouly impossible to be a good mom and work that much without it?"-
Covet: "You can't compare me to normal single mom's. They don't have to deal with all of this stuff." Kelsey said scoffing at him crossing her arms. "I'm basically working two jobs, and I try not to use Holly anymore than necessary. And no they shouldn't turn to drugs, because their kids need that extra money she'd be then spending on drugs, Bradley." She argued back.
Alexithymiaa: "Wow, really? Do you really hold yourself above other single moms? Because as far as I'm concerned, you're not. You have me and you have Holly and you have your parents. Most single moms don't have all that help and they STILL work two jobs drug free and make it work. Just because they're not on tv and they don't have the money to spend on drugs, doesn't mean it's something you should be doing. If anything, your limelight should force you to be more responsible, not making stupid fuckking decisions like this. What happens if someone caught wind of what you were doing and told CPS?" He shot at her angrily, going there. "Did you think about what would happen to Connor?"-
Covet: "I.. I don't know! But who's being a hypocrit now? Because when I first brought this up, you made it seem like it was no big deal..... so you don't get to throw all those reasons back at me, when you didn't care about them in the first place!" Kelsey said yelling back. " I have been doing just fine, nobody but Evan knows anything, well and now you." She said. // At this point Connor had gotten up, hearing them yelling. He was happy that Brad was home after the weekend but the yellling had him worried, so he'd walked out and into the hallway to go see, but didn't want to be seen in case they yelled at him.
Alexithymiaa: "I used it a few times at a party, you're using it daily to help you with your life AND in the presence of your son!" He screamed at her because there was such a wild difference. "And as far as the law is concerned, I'm not Connor's father. Big difference."-
Covet: "I NEVER did it in front of him!" Kelsey yelled back at him. "It was the smallest ammounts, for hell's sake." She stared at him and shook her head, "Yeah, well that could all be changed if I wanted it to. Or.. maybe it'd be better if it went back to that." Kelsey said angrily because Brad had twisted the knife hard enough that now she was just saying mean things to make him hurt too.
Alexithymiaa: "You were high while caring for him and that's all a judge needs to hear and you know it. You're being stupid and irresponsible just to desperately try to keep up with your career." He paused, just staring at her. "Is that really how you feel? I've done nothing, but treat him like he's my own and spoil him and RAISE him, but because you're bitter about being caught doing the wrong thing, that's my fault?"-
Covet: "Nothing happened! He doesn't know, and he's fine! I wouldn't let anything happen to him." She said, "God, you sound so much like my dad right now, he'd probably feel proud." Kelsey rolled her eyes then shook her head at him. "There are things you could do better, I just don't let Connor see those parts of you because I don't want him turning into some entitled kid, because you spoil him." She said like she didn't just spend the entire weekend spoiling him. // Connor at this point was crying not really understanding what they were talking about just that his name was being brought up a lot, and that they were really angry, like the fight they'd had before. He ran back to the dorm room and got Kelsey's phone off of the desk on it's charger, knowing how to open it up and find who to call based on the contact image, looking for somewhere safe to go.
Alexithymiaa: "Well maybe sometimes your dad is right!" He shouted at her, throwing his hands up into the air. He turned around aand grabbed the pot off the stove, dumping the boiling water with the hotdogs into the sink and beginning to storm out of the kitchen.-
Covet: "Excuse Me?!?!" Kelsey said, because Brad has never outrightly agreed with her Dad before. "I suppose you would have told me I was stupid and irresponsible if you knew me when I was a teenager and he told me practically the same thing?" She followed after him, because she's a glutton for humilation tonight. // Connor saw Steph's contact image and hit the phone button so that it would start calling, waiting for her to pick up, once she did he spoke into the phone, "Cousin Steph, Can I come over tonight? Momma and Dad are yelling and I think they're mad at me."
Alexithymiaa: "I didn't say that, but sure, whatever you want." He saaid sarcastically, keeping his baack toward her aas he wandered down the hallway. "I think getting pregnant as a teenager and being an irresponsible parent are just a little different, but if you want to put words in my mouth to make me the bad guy here, do whatever you want. Oh wait, you already do."-
Covet: "The're both irresponsible aren't they? How was I irresponsible? I made sure he was still taken care of, and that everything was fine. irresponsible would mean that something has gone wrong." Kelsey told him. " Don't go getting all catty now, I realize it's what you're good at, but seriously."
Alexithymiaa: "Being an irresponsible teenager and being an irresponsible parent aare two very different levels of irresponsible." He said, whirling around to face her with his voice raised. "You were caring for him while high and THAT is irresponsible. You dont know what could have happened to you and then what would happen to him?"-
CovetCovet : "But nothing did happen! And I don't intend to let anything happen." Kelsey said "I know myself, I know my kid, I know what I'm doing! You've been high while caring for him too! WITH ME!"
Alexithymiaa: "You think people count on accidents happening? That's why they're called accidents, Kelsey." He said firmly. "Weed is not the same. Everyone functions perfectly fine on weed."-
Covet: "You think the court gives a crap if something really bad happens, on which drugs the parents were on when the accident happened? And of course people don't count on them happening, but I never had him in an unsafe situation, or unsupervised." Kelsey told him. "I might have indulged, but I'm not completely incompetent. I wouldn't have driven anywhere like that."
Covet: [*ignore that on]
Alexithymiaa: "Considering weed is legal and coke isn't? Yeah I'd say they would probably care which drugs." He started walking toward his room again, giving up on food altogether. "Being high on coke while supervising him is considered unsafe and unsupervised. Just in case you were curious."-
Covet: "Yeah but you can be just as irresponsible on both, just like parents who drink do, and that's legal." She said, still going after him. "I was completely alert and aware of where he was and what was going on, you're making it seem like I was coked out of my head in another room entirely, doing nothing but snorting lines.Connor literally sat there and watched movies while I did homework."
Alexithymiaa: "Well obviously I have no idea what you're doing or how you're doing it, so how can I really make any sort of accurate assessment as to the safety of him?" He yelled as he reached his dorm door, shoving it open.-
Covet: "EXACTLY MY POINT! But you automatically assume the worst of me?" Kelsey asked him. "When have I ever been a terrible mother to my own child? Even when I'm high, it's because I'm doing stuff for him, in order to put him first." Kelsey that's a terrible justification. // Connor had got his cowboy boots on, because he didnt' have to tie them, and his coat, and had his tooth brush with him along with a blanket. He'd walked out of the dorm, leaving the door open, then made his way into the lobby to sit down on the couch to wait for Steph.
Alexithymiaa: "My point is that you've been lying to me so how am I supposed to know what you've been doing or how well you've been taking care of him? I dont! I should just assume everything you have said and done is a lie!" He yelled, stepping into his dorm room and standing in the doorway so she couldn't follow him. "Just leave me alone."-
Covet: "Well at least now you know how it feels." Kelsey said as if that was a point that needed to be made." She glared at him then started walking back towards the common area so that she could clean up her tea mess, and his hot dog mess and gather her things before she finally realizes that Connor's not in bed and such.
