Boardwalk [OPEN] tw:boys being assholes throwing girls off things, drowing

[abster]

This town was freaking dumb. Okay, so there were nice people here. But so far she hadn't met any of her siblings or rather, she hadn't gotten the nerve up yet to meet her siblings. She was staying in a crumby motel that had toilet stains older than she was and some really unsavoury connections elsewhere. And she had about two hundred more bucks to her name after she'd fixed some broken pawned items and answered a couple of Covelist job wants. And still nowhere near enough money to get her back to Washington with her car. Which meant she might have to sell it or worse ask her father for help which was infinitely worse.

Watching as a couple of kids, well people her age, jumped off the boardwalk she rolled her eyes. It didn't matter if you were in Washington on cliffs or a boardwalk, kids were going to be idiots no matter what. She could just see Sam doing it a couple years ago. Ugh, that asshole.

"Coming through," Abigail gripped the rail as one of them bumped into her on their way past to throw themselves off it again.

"Jackasses," Abigail muttered under her breath as she passed the teenagers wearing letterman jackets for what she assumed was the local high school. Hearing them mutter to themselves, she felt them slide their hands beneath her arm and lift her up off the safety of the boardwalk. Laptop bag dropping to the ground, she began to struggle as they pulled her towards the edge where they had all been jumping off. "Get off me! Hey! Get your hands off me, don't I can't- HEY! QUIT I-AAAAAAAH!"

Abigail screamed as the boys threw her over the boardwalk fencing towards the deep waters of the ocean, flailing she shrieked as she hit the water and sunk like a stone. Kicking her legs panicked, her arms hit out as she tried to push against the water weighing her clothes down and pulling her down. She could feel her body fighting her, trying to change but she could do this, she could do it. Feeling the cold water strangle her, she coughed as she managed to break the surface and gasp air in and swallowed salt water before she was pulled beneath a wave.

"Dude, why isn't she getting up? Fuck, we're in trouble- hey! Hey! HELP! I think she's drowning!" One of the kids shouted, calling out as Abigail began to be the world's first siren to freaking drown.


ooc: come save abby from drowning!

"You would think it was p-perfectly reasonable. You know what I think is perfectly reasonable? Going and seeing Gabby. And maybe not k-knocking my mom up again," Abigail muttered, shivering as they entered the inside of his stupidly, ridiculous boat. It was warmer inside, clean, and okay, kind of nice even if it was the world's most dumb boat.

His word's made her stiffen; house, apartment... yeah, she wasn't sticking around and they weren't options for her even if she was. She wouldn't accept his money, she'd be a hypocrite if she did. The offer of a slightly less shitty motel was tempting though. Apparently the one she was staying in was the one her sister had been held in when she was kidnapped. Which was so wonderful(!)

"You could tell me n-names, that's it. I don't need help and I don't plan on sticking around that long." Abigail muttered. She hadn't meant to stay this long as it was but it was kind of hard to leave when she had no money and she wasn't letting Sam or her mom bail her out. "The emphasis is on stupidly, not rich. Why do p-people need this much stuff?"

"I'll see what names I can come up with," he said, grateful that she was even willing to accept that much from him. He could definitely find some places that cost as much as she was paying now that were at least a bit safer. As for going to see Gabby? That was out of the question. He'd rather disappoint her later rather than sooner.

"And they don't need it. They just think it makes them better or happier to have things that most people can't ever afford is all."
