Lizzy flinched a little when Rhett said he had migraines. "Yeesh. That bad, huh? Are you sure you're fine?" Lizzy asked, with actual concern. Rhett was in bad enough shape as it was, and Lizzy wasn't trying to put him in even more pain. Other than some teasing, of course.

"What a relief." Lizzy muttered as she rolled her eyes at Rhett thinking she was a homophobe. Not that it surprised her. Her family at home was never the most open to things, and Rhett and Lizzy had never really gotten along in the first place. And things hadn't changed since they'd come to the island.

"I'm smug about it because it means we're alike. And I just know how much that's going to piss you off." She answered with a smirk.

“ We’re not the same.” Rhett quickly shook his head, which he immediately regretted. It felt like his brains were getting knocked around. “ If that’s the one thing we have in common… Well, I hate to break it to you, but we share that with, like, at least half the population here? We’re not that special.”

He glanced at Lizzy with the slightest sneer. “ Lizzy, I’m not pissed off about your love life. You’re still right about us being alike and that makes me kind of mad, but we’re both too afraid to admit it. Said it before and I’ll say it again, we’re both kind of pathetic”

“ Seriously, when will it get through your head that we’ll never be friends? Sometimes I can’t tell if you’re mean or just an idiot, why do you even bother?” He asked flatly. “ Too much has happened.”

"You're right. You are pathetic." Lizzy sneered back. "Pathetic and stupid. I bother because I know you! Know what you've been through. What we've been through. I was there, remember!? She shouted before taking several deep breaths to collect herself.

"Hell, I'm probably the only person on this island who knows what you're going through right now, I'm still not comfortable with the people here knowing I'm BI. Let alone back home." She huffed before looking Rhett in the eyes. "If we're not friends. Then fine. But I'm also not going to let you wallow in misery like this!" She gave a vague wave to the room around them, and at Rhett himself.

"If you wanna be a lonely, miserable, pile of shit. Well fine. But you don't have to be alone."

“ Sheesh. I get it. I’m wallowing.” He tried to avoid making his face, pressing down on his lips as his ears rang. While the harsher things he told Lizzy were true, part of it was just to get her to give up and leave. The last thing he expected was for her to actually yell.

“ Listen, you weren’t there for all of it Lizzy.” Rhett muttered quietly under his breath and then Rhett quickly realized that he wasn’t ready to unpack that one right now. For a split second shock crossed his face. So he gathered himself, took a deep breath, and faced Lizzy.

“ It’s not about the island… Or even back home, because while it’s not great and yeah, I did get socked by this one guy, it wasn’t awful. And my mom always managed alright.” As much as he wanted to tell Lizzy how she was wrong about them, she had a point. Unless Rhett wanted to fake passing out, which had always been on the table, he worked himself into a corner. “ If anything, it’s the stuff in my head.”

“ You say I’m lonely, yet completely ignore my three rats who have been lovingly keeping me company during this time of hardship.” His voice shifted to a more joking tone, but it was quieter than usual. He tried to tuck a piece of hair back, but it just fell back to the same place as before. “ Anyways, I really don’t know how to feel about my only confidant being the chick who possesses bodies for sport, but you might be onto something. More than I want to admit… But with your dad and our high school… Seriously, how’d you land a girlfriend so fast?”

Lizzy let out a sigh as Rhett spoke. seem like the type of person to open up like this, and especially not to her. "Look.. I don't know what you mean by the stuff in your head.. But.. We're gonna get through this, alright? We killed a god. This is nothing."

She laughed when Rhett brought up his pet rats. "Ahhh, there's the Rhett I know and hate. Welcome back." She said with a smirk before flipping back one of her pigtails. "Well, clearly it was my charm and good looks." Truth be told, she had no idea how she landed Shiro. But she wasn't about to tell Rhett that.

“ Yeah, right.” Rhett rolled his eyes.

“ Seriously, everyone except me and the twins are out dating already, what’s with that?” He leaned on the edge of the bed, remaining quiet for a good second. Truth be told, he wasn’t exactly contemplating something deep, it just hurt to get up. ” It’s been awhile, six months or something… Well, at least I have my rats.”

“ So, you really don’t know what I’m talking about?” He raised an eyebrow at Lizzy then turned away and shakily stood up. The rat cage was just a few steps away from his bed, but even then, it was still a struggle. He scooped up Sasuke the rat and sat back down on the bed.

“ If you want, you can pet Sasuke… just try not to possess him.” He teased. Rhett scratched behind the rat's ears, his expression softened a bit. It was still a pretty shitty situation, but Rhett was right, at least he did have his rats. “ Honestly, killing a god was the easiest part of all of this.”

Lizzy rolled her eyes when Rhett complained about everyone else dating. "Oh come on. Rowan's been crushing on Chi since middle school, and I just got lucky with Shiro... And Dela with Hector." She said with a pout, still not happy that they were dating, or that her plan to break them up had blown up in her face.

Lizzy raised an eyebrow as Rhett went over towards the Rat cage. "Don't know what?" she asked, trying to look over to see what Rhett was doing, before taking a step back when Rhett pulled out one of his rats. "You.. You actually brought a rat!?" When Rhett had said he might bring one of rats back with him, she'd thought he was joking. But it was clear he wasn't.

"Hmpf.. No promises." She said as she tried to scratch "Sasuke" or whatever his name with her finger. "That's.. Okay, that's not what I meant." She said with a sigh. "What I was trying to say is if we can kill a god, there's nothing we can't do if we just put our minds to it."

Rhett just shrugged. While he didn’t expect Lizzy to read his mind, what he meant was impossible to put into words without sounding really stupid. If Aubrey was still around, he’d probably understand what Rhett meant, but maybe it was a good thing that their experiences weren’t universal.

“ Not just a rat, there’s four of them. Did you really think I was kidding?” A smirk snuck on Rhett’s face when Sasuke the Rat nipped Lizzy’s finger. In a fleeting moment of goodwill, he nudged Lizzy’s hand to where she should be petting.

“ That’s easy for you to say. Lizzy, you got off easy.” Rhett narrowed his eyes. “ Things were finally getting better. I had actual plans for once. Never told anyone besides maybe Aubrey, but I was planning on moving. A prep school pretty far away actually offered me a full ride. Fuck.”

“ Life kinda sucks now. My closest friend is gone. Physical therapy is fucking useless. No one knows if I’ll ever get full control of my body back, like actually run for more than a minute, it’s depressing as hell.”

"OW!" Lizzy yelled as she quickly jerked her hand away from Sasuke nipped her finger. "He fucking bit me!" Lizzy said shooting a glare towards Rhett. She thought he'd at least trained them not to bite people, but maybe that was asking too much of him.

"Lizzy, you got off easy.”

Lizzy froze at that. Rhett had a point, she had gotten off easier then everyone else. And the constant reminders didn't help. This was why she never told anyone about her problems. They had been through worse.

"Shut up.. Shut up!" Lizzy snapped back, "I was actually trying to turn my life around for once, not like you would care about that. But things were finally looking up for me too. And now we're stuck in this hellhole." She said, giving a vague wave to the room around them.

What did she expect? It’s a rat.

“ So? If this place is really such a hellhole , what’s stopping you from leaving? Well, besides me. My bad.” Rhett asked, tilting his head with sarcastic curiosity. Sure, it was going to be a hassle for the rest of the gang to travel anywhere outside the island for the next couple months, but that included Lizzy. Silver linings.

“ You’re the only one who got out in one piece. ” He murmured under his breath, scooping Sasuke into his hoodie’s pouch. “ Why do you want to stick around so badly?”

“ Seriously. I’m sure people probably miss you back home.” Rhett said with a tired sneer. Even without the freaky possession powers, Lizzy had a way of getting others back home to do her bidding whether they liked it or not. Here people could smell her bullshit from a mile away. “ Anyways, what the hell makes you think that you couldn’t have fixed your shit here? Literally all you had to do was not be a jealous asshole and no one would be talking shit the way they are right now. It's like you sabotage every second chance you get. ”
