As of Christmas eve, Neil McCormick is no longer a resident of the Barge. He didn't graduate, but as far as I'm aware, he's okay. He's just...not here anymore. I believe he's returned home.

I'm sorry I couldn't give him the help he needed, but at heart, he's truly a good young man. I'm sure that wherever he is, things will work out for him. I ( Read more... )

Is something the matter, Libby?

Private thatlibbychick December 28 2010, 05:52:57 UTC

In a way.

West, do you think we could speak in-person? This is really important to me.

Private major_west December 28 2010, 06:01:48 UTC

Of course. Where?

Private thatlibbychick December 28 2010, 06:08:20 UTC

Do you know where my room is?

Private major_west December 28 2010, 06:09:27 UTC

Unless it's changed. I don't suppose it has.

Re: Private thatlibbychick December 28 2010, 06:10:54 UTC

You can come here, then. If you don't mind.

Private --> SPAM major_west December 28 2010, 06:13:49 UTC

Very well.

[And West makes his way over and knocks on the door.]

SPAM thatlibbychick December 28 2010, 06:20:01 UTC

[Libby opens the door and steps back to let her friend enter.]

Hey, West. Come on in. I'm sorry for springing this on you suddenly.

SPAM major_west December 28 2010, 06:21:04 UTC

It's fine. [To be honest, he's somewhat concerned, and it might show in his expression.] What's the matter?

SPAM thatlibbychick December 28 2010, 06:25:10 UTC

[Libby forces a smile, and shrugs.]

I'm going home.

[And then come the tears, which she fights to hold back. HAVE SOME WOMANLY EMOTIONS, WEST, WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM.]

SPAM major_west December 28 2010, 06:58:29 UTC

[TEARS OH GOD.]

Home?

[Pause. Tears are so awkward. He's quiet for a moment.]

And you'll be with him again. [For once, he doesn't make a snide remark about Hurley.]

SPAM thatlibbychick December 28 2010, 07:02:23 UTC

Yes, I will.

[Libby notices the lack of commentary on Hurley's weight, and without warning, A HUG IS INITIATED.]

I'm going to miss you. So much.

SPAM major_west December 28 2010, 07:25:19 UTC

[He returns the hug.]

I'll miss you, too. [YOU'RE ONE OF THE FEW WOMEN HE COULD STAND.] But you've your own home. This isn't it. [Pause.] You have a future.

SPAM thatlibbychick December 28 2010, 07:32:33 UTC

You have a future, too. You and Billy. I'll always believe that.

[She holds the hug for about as long as she thinks he can remain personally comfortable in it. When she pulls out of the hug to took West in the face, she's trying to smile again.]

You've always been a good friend to me, although we rarely agree on anything.

SPAM major_west December 29 2010, 05:44:29 UTC

[He offers a slight smile and says gently:] I know what he is.

[West allows her to hold the hug for as long as she'd like. He's not typically a sentimental man, but he's known Libby for two years now. She's been a consistent presence in his life-- his new life-- and it'll be strange without her.]

And you, me. [He pauses.] I'm sorry for all the hurt I caused you.

SPAM thatlibbychick December 29 2010, 06:06:36 UTC

I forgave you a long time ago; I know you didn't mean to, and that's what's important. I'm sorry if I caused you any pain, as well. I know we had our share of fights.

[Her hands remain on West's shoulders.]

I want you to know that I believe in you. I always have.

[Even when she learned about his past from Jim, and felt like the world had been yanked out from under her.]
