“No, Riv, come on...” she said, rubbing his arm gently, “this was not your fault. Not even close. You– I mean...” Cleo sighed, turning her gaze to the ground. “As awful as it sounds, there’s nothing you could’ve done to prevent it,” she said, slowly, choosing her words carefully as if remembering a time they were said to her. A mom is supposed to take care of their child, guide them through life, protect them from the dangers of the world, but growing up with Shelley, the roles were reversed. Cleo always felt responsible for taking care of her mom and her addiction; whenever she relapsed, the responsibility fell on her. What were you doing? Weren’t you paying attention? She needs you. It wasn’t until she started really talking about it in therapy that she realized it wasn’t her fault. It wasn’t hers, and it’s not Riv’s now. It’s not his job to make sure his mom is sober enough to take care of Alex, it’s hers. But she knew that saying that - getting into it right now - wouldn’t help. “You look after her. After Alex. You do much more than is your place to do. And you’re here! You’re here to make sure your mom’s okay. Riv, that’s- it’s enough. Trust me.” She took in a sharp breath, unsure of whether she was saying the right thing. She was angry for Riv more than she was worried about her. But these relationships are complicated. If anyone knew just how much, it was her. “We don’t have to tell Alex everything,” she said with a shrug. “Just- that his mom is in the hospital and recovering. That she’s... fighting hard. I’m sure she is,” she rubbed his arm again, her furrows tight knit together in worry. “It sounds really... rough. What she’s going through. But the doctors know what they’re doing. She’ll be okay.”

“Yeah and we can do that times two. Girl I know, I already have the ice packs and nipple cream on standby.” She slid Cleo’s lunch toward her. “They are just starting to sleep through the night. Though if one wakes up, they are both up.”

She thanks Savannah as she reaches for her bowl and immediately starts digging into it. “I bet. And how are you and Marissa handling it? Do you take turns? Are you both up when the twins get up?” she asks. “This is–” she hums as she points to her bowl with her fork– “delicious, by the way.”

“I know.” She gives her a sad pout as she leads her into the kitchen. “We’re about the hit the teething phase and it’s safe to say we are both a little terrified.”

“Ooh. Yeah,” Cleo made a face as she followed Savannah into the kitchen. “I hear they get a bit bitey during this phase. R.I.P. nipples,” she chuckles. “You’re getting enough rest, though, right? They’re not keeping you up at night?”

“Oh, god, Riv...” she wrapped her arms around herself for a moment as he explained what happened and wrapped them around him once he was done. This could’ve been a lot, a lot worse, but that didn’t mean this wasn’t bad enough already. “I’m glad they found her in time. I can’t even imagine–” she pulled away and shook her head. She didn’t even want to say it. Think it! “Where’s Alex right now?” she asked. “If you want, I- I can go pick her up later. If you want to stay here, wait for news. I’ll take her to lunch, distract her a bit, and then...” she trailed off. “Are we- um, telling her about this?” She asked. She wasn’t sure what the right thing to do was. “And what have the doctors told you? Have you talked to anyone yet?”

Savannah smiled at Cleo as she ushered her inside the house. “Hey… I ordered us a couple buddha bowls from The Copper Fig for lunch. We should have about 20 minutes before the twins are up and are gonna want to be fed.” She said as she walked them to the kitchen. 

“I cannot believe how big the twins have gotten. Like, I swear they were this small yesterday!” she said, making about an inch with her fingers. “They’re going to be, like, graduating high school before we know it! A-and thanking me, their favorite aunt, in their valedictorian speech, which they both got because they’re two little geniuses.”

"I always care what people think! It's a curse passed down by my parents, who got it from their parents, and so on, so forth," she explained and then let out a laugh. "Cassie, from Euphoria. You didn't see that clip going around last year? Where they're like "Why do you look like a country music star?" and she goes "In a good way or a bad way!?" No?"

"You're fine, Cleo! Why do you care what this random person thinks anyways?" Justin tried to not let other people's words get to him, but he actually cared a lot. That was part of the reason why he moved states. "Wait, who's Cassie?"

"Hey," Cleo said as she walked up to River, jogging the last couple of steps to wrap her arms around him. "How are you doing? Have you eaten yet?" she asked, gently brushing a piece of hair away from his face. "I brought some food from Eddie's. I was on my way to class when I got your text; I thought maybe you hadn't–" she tried to explain but realized she wasn't exactly sure why she'd stopped to get the food. She closed her eyes and shook her head slowly– "I don't know. Are you okay?" she asked, squeezing his arm as she tried to gauge how he was dealing with all of this. She knew they weren't close, but Cleo knew complicated relationships sometimes carried the most weight. Even if you don't want them to.

“Yeah, I’ve still got a spare key. I’ll go round to see if I can get a suitcase together for Alex so she can stay with me for a few days until we know more. I just don’t know what to tell her when I pick her up later.” River spoke down the phone to his father, pacing back and forth outside Abernathy Medical Centre. What had started as a stressful day at work had only gotten worse since receiving a call that his mother had been hospitalized. He was chatting back and forth before he said his goodbyes, hanging up and leaning against the wall when he saw your character walking up. “Oh, hi.” He forced a smile.

“Nah you’re not annoying. They are probably just having a bad day and wanted to feel better about themselves. Though I will say, I’ve never met a more perfect person to have their own reality show.”

“Thank you! Thank you. See, you, Margot, have vision,” she said with a nod. “I had never felt so attacked in my life- not even when my mom–– actually, let’s not get into that. Point is, it wasn’t what they said, it was the way they said it.”

“Okay one.. you do have the perfect personality for a reality show. You would be right up there with the Kardashians. Babe you’re not annoying, you have the perfect amount of drama and storytelling ability to hook an audience.” 

“I hope so! Because while I definitely do not dream about being in The Bachelor or Love is Blind anymore - or any of those other horrible dating shows that never really end well for anyone involved - I- I am not discarding the possibility of me being a Real Housewife whenever they decide to do the Maine edition of the show. Or- New Jersey if I ever go back.” She said, putting her hands up. “I appreciate you for saying that, S, I- was spiraling,” she said, flashing her a smile. “I was like ‘Does everyone hate me? Is that what they are saying?’”

Cleo made a face and shook her head. "In a good way or a bad way!?" she asked, mortified. "Not to sound all- Cassie right now, but–" she trailed off with a nervous chuckle, bracing herself for whatever his answer may be.

"Well..." he started, flashing her a shit-eating grin. "Nah, I'm just teasing. You're not the most annoying person in the world. You're just... very talkative."

"Someone told me I had the perfect personality for a reality show, and I've been saying that forever, but something about the way they said it..." Cleo frowned. "They said it like it was a bad thing. Am I, like, the worst person in the world? Am I really that annoying? Be honest, I'll probably hate you if you say yes, but I'll learn to forgive you eventually. Maybe."

[Cleo’s eyes widen and she covers her mouth with her hand to stifle a laugh] Oh- I- yeah, it says Cleo right there, I think. [she squints as she leans into the cup] It’s a nice little scribble, it could say anything. [she nods and takes a step back] You can keep it, though! It’s a- soy latte. A very fun, clearly very good drink. [chuckles] I’ve never tried it before, I’m assuming it’s gross?

Ah shit! What the fuck. Huh? Oh this is yours?
