I thought you wanted me to care???
He groaned and ran his fingers through his hair, women were difficult yes- but Ariel was by far the most complex he'd come across. And now he couldn't even be angry, because Jefferson had called her highly uncalled for names because of him... yes, it had been her choice technically to be with him, and that it what he would've had he not grown so close to her, but now... he did care. And frankly, that was her fault, so now she'd have to deal with it in the same way he'd been dealing with her all this time.
"Do you want me to kill him for you?" He asked, half serious and half trying to make her laugh... though he shortly realized that may not have been the correct way to do it after he saw the look of distaste on her,"..... then... would you like some rum?"

Ariel took a shaky breath. "Actually that sounds good." She admitted.
"Look, I am glad you care...at least about this or something... I don't know. I guess its just nice not to feel so alone when everyone hates you." Ariel groaned and put her head in her hands again.
"Damn it I am so confused. I hate feeling this way. I wish I didn't care about any of it!" Ariel took the rum bottle from him and downed a huge gulp, she nearly choked. "This is terrible." She said laughing because her life was falling apart at he seams and Ariel had no idea how to handle that.

Alright.... that was a start....
Hook swung his legs over the side of the bed then walked over to his dresser. The first drawer always had rum for such occasions as this.... such occasions meaning when a young woman was distressed and in his bed...
"When you don't care you tend to make things worse." Hook said under his breath, then took a bottle for himself," and not everyone hates you , Love"

"Alright well like four people in this town don't hate me. I ran into my sister Alana the other day. She hates me...well with good reason but anyway she told me to stay away from her. I am not sure how I messed up so badly." Ariel said taking another drink.
"I am sure, I make the worst human ever!" She admitted it hurt so bad and she just wanted it to stop. "Actually maybe I am just a really bad person and I am only super good at hiding it?" She thought for a moment because lately all she did was disappoint people and Ariel wondered if it was just because she was selfish. She took another drink liking the warm feeling it was bringing her.

"You're not the worst Ariel..." He murmured between sips, "I can think of far more people who are far worse than you than I'd like to..." He pulled her close to him again and rubbed her shoulder gently.
As bad as things might be, she HAD to know it could be far worse- right? So many people wanted her to have happiness.... she just seemed to be looking in all the wrong places....
"I can't really give any advice regarding your sister.... from what I've experienced I'm not in very good favor with them either and honestly.... I have even less people who like me in this town then you do.... but you're stubborn and have a way of not letting things go.... If I had to guess... you'd be the perfect person to come back from something like this"

Ariel looked at him for a moment, struck by his kindness that was very rare well unless he wanted something from her. Ariel didn't think that was the case this time.
"Well, I hope your right." She took another gulp of the rum. "My family is complicated, I guess I never fit in with them anyway. Also my sisters don't like you because most of them hate humans especially pirates and Arista doesn't like you because you hit on her." Ariel told him remembering Arista spraying him in the face with the pepper spray...well he did deserve it.
Ariel rested her head back on his shoulder. "Well I am done talking about my problems. What about you any closer to your revenge?" She asked now wanting to change the subject because all it was doing was upsetting her.

"It was still was uncalled for," He grumbled, then paused before answering her next question," I.... I'll be leaving a day or two actually...." he finally said.
Hook took another long drink and let that sink in,".... I can't say I plan on coming back"

Ariel swallowed at his revelation, "I can't say I didn't see this coming. So where will you go?" Ariel asked him she put her hand on his chest lightly.
It was hard to hear, he might not come back he could die...
Ariel was thinking about that she wanted to kill him a few hours ago and now she was upset he was leaving. These feelings were so damn confusing. Ariel sat up a took another drink, she would drink until she couldn't feel and then tomorrow she would worry about the rest.
"You know there are people here who care about you. If you decide to come back." She admitted softly of course he would know she cared about him but Ariel meant Else as well. Was there more? She had no idea.

He nodded slowly," I know... I seemed to have 'wriggled my way' into a few more hearts as a certain smart-assed Queen might say... but I'm hurting you by staying here, you know that right.... it was never you. It was me"

Was she drunk already... did he really just say that?
She looked up at him, "Killian, you would hurt me far more if you leave and never come back. I know, what I am doing... well most of the time. Whatever this is between us I wouldn't take it back even if I could." Ariel was a little amazed at her words so truthful. Actually she may have lost everything but she knew herself well enough to know she would do it again for him.
"I am well aware that is just really stupid." She admitted taking another drink it was loosing her lips a little more then she wanted.

"No... that's not 'stupid' and That may even be true, Love" He said somberly," And I don't doubt you mean those words.... that doesn't mean that my being here doesn't act as poison against you.... I know who I am.... what I am.... I know the world is better off without me"
He tossed the already finished bottle away- unintentionally breaking it against the wall and making him cringe in doing so.

Ariel handed him her bottle with out a word. "I know you think that however its not true. The world isn't a better place without you in it. My kingdom would have been lost with out you." Ariel felt the rum warm her stomach.
"I know, who you are that's very true but I also know who you could be if you wanted. That's what makes you different Killian, you might be a pirate and not care about others. I know you do deep down, and I know you loved. Truly evil people don't and I will stick by my belief that I've always felt you could be more if you wanted. Of course people usually need a reason to change and if you haven't found it yet just give it time."
Ariel waited a few minutes hoping some of that might sink in.
"As for being poison to me. I don't agree, I may care for you more then you care for me but I have always felt it was enough just to be near you." Ariel knew now she was very drunk because why the hell would she tell him that.
"Holy shit, I need more rum..." She muttered. She wasn't drunk enough to face the fact that she just spilled everything she ever wanted to tell him in one go.

Hook just laughed, knowing there was no way to convince Ariel otherwise. He took another swig then handed her the remaining rum,"I'll go see if there's anymore Rum...."
He slipped his legs over the side of the bed and sort of stumbled towards the door.

Ariel nodded and took another drink. She sighed, well at least she told him everything. If he didn't want to listen and well she didn't really expect him to that was normal.
Still she wished he would just care about something besides revenge. She wanted to smack him and scream at him until he believed her. However it would never happen so she would drink instead and it would numb her pain blissfully. Ariel waited for him to return hoping he found more rum.

Hook pushed on the door to the 'rum cellar', so to speak. He ran his finger over the few remaining bottles then tapped his finger his choice. He started to pull against the bottle. Though he could feel his balance slipping... the rum he had already consumed was taking effect.
He grabbed at the shelf- but fell hard into it rather than steadying himself as he'd hoped to do. There was a loud crash as a few bottles were knocked loose and hit the floor around him.
