((Im still at school for like another two hours and I have a low battery so I'm only replying to certain roleplays and I figure I can reply to this one when I get home. :) Is that okay or completely unexceptable?))
((Totally okay. :D I get it. I'll just keep it bumped up))
((Thanks! :D And again, sorry for the wait.))
Darcy frowned. "Did that upset you? If it did, I'm sorry. I kind of have this thing where I just speak what ever is on my mind. And I tend to come off as rude most of the time." she rambled on. Typically, when Darcy socialized, this is what happened. She rambled on and on, not shutting up and the other person just sort of... Listened.
((Totally okay. :) ))
"N-no...It's okay. I'm used to it." Jakob stood still, clutching at his book protectively. He was standing right there, right outside his door. All he had to do was take his last step, step number two hundred, and open the door. But suddenly he didn't want to. He stayed out here, shuffling his feet and listening to Darcy.
Darcy hopped up on the window ledge, her feet kicking in and out at their own rhythm. "So, Jakob, why are you here? Tell me about yourself." she chirped, studying with her pale green eyes like a scientist studying her specimen.
"I-I'm...I'm..um..." He stammered a moment, staring at the floor and tripping over his words. "My mom sent me here..." He finally mumbled. "I-I have OCD...A-and depression..." He left out the part about him never being able to sleep for often days on end without medication. He shuffled his feet a little more.
"Interesting." Darcy murmured, studying him silently for a moment, her face thoughtful. Then she snapped out of her trance and smiled again. "I'm in and out of anorexia. It seems like I'm in as of today. Im also depressed, though not as severely, I suppose, as you are. And, as I'm sure you could tell from my head, I have cancer. Luekimia to be exact, cancer of the blood. I've been battling it for ten years." her voice had been slowly losing its cheerful tone till finally it was dull and sad. Then with a weary smile towards Jakob, she said, "Im a fighter."
"Oh. Well...I'm a hider." Jakob's pale blue eyes flickered up to her. He couldn't even force himself to smile, though his face did look slightly less gloomy than usual. "I count my footsteps when I walk, I wash my hands one hundred and five times a day, and I..." He trailed off with an awkward shrug. "Nevermind."
Darcy looked at him with eyes full of wonder. "Go on." she murmured, "I found this interesting." She rolled onto her stomach on the windowsill, propping her head up on her hands.
"I-It's nothing..." Jakob flushed and looked down, kicking quietly at the ground. He had been about to say he never slept on his own, but he had changed his mind.
"Please..." Darcy whined, sticking out a link, plump bottom lip in a pout. "... Tell me."
"I-I...I, uh..." He got even redder. "I-I can't sleep without taking meds..." He finally whispered. He fidgeted a little, staring at the floor.
Darcy smiled warmly at him, understanding his pain. "I can't sleep without meds either." she told him with an honest shrug. "But, probably for a different reason than you."
"Insomnia..." Jakob murmured quietly, mostly to himself. "Extreme insomnia..." He cautiously peeked up at her through his eyelashes.
