Ivy sucked her lip in between her teeth and looked him over. Was he worth the trouble, and why was she even being nice to him? She was being nice, compared to what she could be. After all, he had attempted to pick her up in a bar, and for all she knew this whole situation could have been an elaborate plan on his part. "What do you mean, you don't know what else to do?" She asked, her brow furrowing in confusion. "There are tons of things to do in this town beside hanging around bars in clubs, taking someone home and having faceless and nameless sex." Ivy looked around her, "Look around you. Cant you see how useless places like this are, when you can go out into the world and live?" A somber smile formed on her face when she took in her own words. She hadn't really been living lately, and maybe she was even taking life for granted. "Have you any idea how much this world has to offer?" She didn't even know why she was trying with this guy, because they were all the same. No matter how hard you tried, they always revert back to their old ways. "Don't you see how lucky you are to be alive?" These last words were more for herself than for him, and for a moment, she couldn't even believe they came out of her own mouth. They hit closer to home than she ever though possible.

Ame's eyes widened, now he was literally frozen in place. Everything she said was true. Who knows where he would've been if he never had that opportunity to escape. Would he be dead? Would he still be in that place? Hadn't they been planning to sell him? He felt like his emotions were raw on his face, and all he could do was lower his head, his eyes still wide and a lump forming in his throat. How much had he been 'living' lately, as she put it?

A frown formed on Ivy's face, had he really no reaction to all of the things she just said? It was almost as if he had become frozen, and mute, rooted to the ground. Maybe what she had said hit as close to home as it did for her, and maybe it was time for a change. Maybe it was time to let go, and live life as she would have if her parents weren't killed in that car accident. Maybe it was time to be free. With a small smile, Ivy reached over and grabbed his hand. Tugging on it, she began to walk. To where, she wasn't really sure, but she knew they both needed to get out of that club. "Come on." She said to him, looking over her shoulder as she pulled him along. "Let's go live."

Ame glanced up, his body seeming to go with her before he could process what she was saying. He furrowed his eyebrows, a frown on his face, "What?" Was all he could muster out, not even sure why he was letting this stranger drag him away from his alcohol.

Ivy just laughed when she glanced back at him an saw the confused look painted all over his face. Hell, she was pretty confused as to what she was doing herself. She hadn't really thought beyond getting out of there. "Ever done anything besides drink alcohol in this town, french boy?" She asked, still with a grip on his hand as the exited the club and found themselves out into the night. "Tell me your definition of living, because getting drunk and getting laid isn't it." She shook her head, slowing her quick pace and looking around them. They were definitely in the club district, and it was getting late. The question was, what to do?

Ame shrugged, "Fine... It's getting drunk, sleeping around, and working." He extended his arms, as if saying 'come at me,' "what more do you want from me? I'm shallow and have no purpose in life." He criticized himself harshly, trying to figure just where she was placing him on this "human value" scale.

Ivy's brow furrowed in confusion. Could he really think that about himself? Nobody in this world had no purpose in like, some of them just hadn't found it. Ivy didn't think anyone's life was useless, wasted maybe, but not useless. "You cant be serious." She said, shaking her head. "Trust me, nobody has no purpose. Nobody is worthless. Open your eyes, everyone has felt pain. Everyone has had shitty things happen to them. It's not the end of the world." She didn't know where she was going with that tirade, she just knew that his outlook on life was pretty depressing. "I don't want anything from you, french boy." Ivy said, shaking her head. "You might want to want more for yourself though. That doesn't sound like living to me, that sounds like a waste of life. If my parent's death taught me one thing, it was that life should not be wasted, or taken for granted. "

Ame felt like he had been hit by bricks. Is she serious? He thought, furrowing his eyebrows. Her last words seemed to literally leave him breathless. "You're parents are dead too?" He breathed, not even sure if she could hear him. He knew he and his brothers weren't the only orphans in the world, but he had never actually met anyone else who had lost both their parents. This girl was so different from him, and so intriguing at the same time.

Ivy's eyes softened with his question, and she nodded in response. She lifted her head for a moment, he eyes upturned to the evening sky. "Yeah, they died about a year and a half ago." Ivy told him, looking back down at him. "I don't think they'd be proud of the way I've been living my life lately, so I'm turning it around." The way she saw it, they would want her to be okay and stop shutting everyone out with her snarky attitude and glares. She made it a point to at least try and get better, which is why she hadn't just walked away earlier. Something about frenchboy intrigued her, maybe it was his lonesome and trivial outlook on life, she didn't know.

Ame looked the other way, staring at the ground intensely. "Mine died about two years, my older brother's been taking care of us since." He explained. Suddenly, his legs seemed weak as she mentioned how her parents wouldn't be proud of the way she was living. His own parents had made it a point to tell Ame how often they were disappointed in him, always telling him to start being more like Enzo. It was probably the way they went about the situation that caused the real rift between his older brother and himself. "I've been like this since before they died though." He added, almost equally as soft as his previous comments. Something told him he'd be telling his past to a stranger again, but this time, he was pretty okay with that thought.

She looked at the ground. She wished she could have known what it felt like for her parents not to be proud of her, if only so she could relate to him. The truth was, as hard as she tried to be good for them while they were alive, her parents would have been proud of her no matter what she did. She was never able to see that though, and never stopped, she always pushed harder, tested her limits and when above and beyond their every expectation. This behavior had robbed her of freedom, to go out and have fun, much like their death had robbed her of that same chance. She could see that in him, the loss of freedom. Things were holding him back and Ivy was curious as to what those things were. "I'm sure your parents just wanted the best for you." She finally said, her voice as quiet as it could be and still allow him to hear her as they stood near the street. "What's stopping you? What's stopping you from getting the best you can get?"

"Memories..." Ame replied, looking between her and the sidewalk ahead of them. He shook his head, as if telling himself more than her he knew that wasn't it. "Myself. I'm scared to change." He looked up towards the sky. "I told my kid brother... well, he's not really my kid brother anymore considering he's only a year younger than me... anyway... I told him I'd stop. But I can't." He felt as if he was rambling, but he didn't care. He took a breath, "The craziest thing is, I say I sleep around to get rid of memories, but that's when they surface the most..."

Ivy gave a look of understanding, offering one small sad smile. She knew what it was like. She knew how it felt to feel like you're doing every single little thing wrong. But, there was one other thing Ivy knew, and that was how to be strong. She was good at being strong. "Were our own worst enemy sometimes." She commented, beginning to walk again, hoping he would follow her. She didn't know where they were headed, but she was tired of standing outside a bar. "Most of the time, it's the things we promise that are the hardest to achieve... No matter how much we want to." She glanced at him, "What's your name, anyway?" Ivy asked, her blue eyes focused on his face. He seemed different than the others, probably more destructive that was for sure, but different.

Ame nodded, understanding what she was saying. He knew he was hard on himself. He followed her, now more willing to figure out where the road would take them, because he got the feeling she knew their end destination as much as he did. "Ame Charbonneau." He said simply, looking at her without speaking as if waiting to hear her name.

Ivy smiled in his direction, even though it was apparent that he wasn't even looking at her. "I'm Ivy, nineteen, graphic design student at the university. Nice to meet you, Ame Charbonneau." She continued walking along the semi-desolate sidewalk silently, just enjoying the quiet anonymity. While on the streets, you were less likely to be recognized, and Ivy loved it. It didn't matter that she had no idea where they were headed, after all, it was all about the journey, not the destination.
