the bereft ✧*:・ﾟ

And the fears set in, in an instant. Too much of myself gets exposed. This is where I go at my weakest, When I don’t have to be scared to tell the truth. Tend to do my best when everything goes w r o n g. That’s why sad songs make me happy, cause I don’t have to feel alone. You wanna take it away from me. Take it away from me. You can’t wait till I’m s t u m b l i n g. No, you’ve got me wrong. Oh the nights are long with no one else around. You wanna take it away from me.

Hearing her suggestion to do something fun, Ivy couldn’t nod her head fast enough, almost begging for a distraction. “Yes, please. That sounds amazing. Do you have anything in mind that you want to do?”

Rowan pondered this, gnawing on the inside of her cheek before an idea came to mind. “How about we get pizza and hang out at my house?” The blonde grinned. She knew that even if Ivy didn’t want to hang out, pizza would always win her over.

“Yeah, I guess so,” Copper agreed.  “I think I’ll get used to it, just, you know…new school and everything, new state, new city, new time zone even.  I think I’m still on Pacific time.”  Smiling back at the girl, he replied, “Copernicus, or Copper.”

“I’ll totally show you around, if you’d like.” The blonde grinned, before letting out a chuckle. “Ah, what state did you come from?” Rowan asked. “Copper.. I like that name! What are you doing in Belmont, out of everywhere else in the world? This town is a little... boring at times - Not to mention, super small.”

First day went…okay, I guess.  Could have been worse, just…kinda overwhelming.

“That’s totally understandable.” The girl wore a soft smile upon her lips, before holding out her hand -- Unsure if the gesture was a big one. “I’m Rowan, and you are..?”

  Well, that wasn’t expected, to say the least. The Rowan he’s used to has been pushing him away for years now — but he wasn’t COMPLAINING in the slightest. “ DEAL. ”

“I know..” she shrugged nervously, “I just -- miss you.” Rowan admitted sheepishly, before smiling wide. “Really? Whoa, I thought you hated my g u t s or something.”

Ivy looked over at Rowan and then let out another sigh. She was so thankful for the girl who was her best friend. She couldn’t have been more appreciative for the other girl. Running her fingers through her hair slowly, she rested her head onto the car and closed her eyes. “I’m okay, I’m just a bit out of it, that’s all,” she admitted, trying to shake her thoughts. “I know that it doesn’t. It’s so hard for me to believe. Why would anyone hurt Mr. Lennox and his wife? Why? He was such a good person.” 

“I couldn’t tell you.” The blonde let out a sigh  as she shook her head. Rowan felt like everything was off around town since the murder. “How about we do something fun as a distraction?”

morcno:

“Your tone says otherwise.” He sighed out in frustration as she shoved his hands into his pockets. It was quite easy to irritate him, especially when it came to Rowan. “Whatever, I tried being civil.”

She took a deep breath, before turning back around to face her former friend, and crush. “I... Whatever -- Sure. We can forget everything, it’s obviously going to be very easy for you.” Anger, and sadness, laced her words.

cnrdlwsn:

“ Oh, really? Come on. ” He can’t help but tease. “ That was like — the FIRST book I ever recommended to you. ”

“Oops?” She let out a nervous laugh, as a flashback took over her mind of the very moment he’d recommended it. “How about I’ll read it if you take up my offer on possibly hanging out?”

“So like, until we graduate or I get kicked out, can we just pretend nothing happened between us? Y'know, just to lessen the already migraine inducing experience of school.”

“Not a problem.” She shot him an obviously fake smile, attitude lacing her words as she began to turn away from the male. Why was he always like this? Even if it’s been a few years since she had feelings for him, she knew Roman hadn’t changed a bit.

   “ It was okay. The book was better. ” He catches himself chuckling at what he said, but soon stops himself. “ Oh — that’s a SHAME. They’re all great. Did you at least read The Book Thief? ”

She took a long pause, “......No.” The blonde squinted her eyes in fear of Conrad’s wrath, “Please don’t k i l l me!”

Ivy sighed, looking around her before she pulled out her earphones and chewed on her lip in thought. She was in her own world whenever she was walking and was c a u g h t up thinking about the teacher who she’d been close to as she’d had them twice already. Getting to the stop sign, she almost didn’t stop as she heard a h o n k and didn’t move any further. “Crap. Really gotta watch where I’m going,” she mumbled, letting out a heavy groan before laughing a little at herself.

“Ivy, are you okay?” Rowan asked, amusement lacing her words, after the honk pulled Ivy out of her daze. Her friend seemed distracted, and it was understandable as to why. Their math teacher, along with his wife, were just brutally murdered -- AND on Halloween night. “I can’t believe what happened to Mr. Lennox... it doesn’t feel real.” She rested her head against the car window, before biting down on her bottom lip.

   “ They made a movie a few years back — ” He really didn’t know if she’d seen it (Conrad had, of course), but it was worth a shot, right? “ Uh — yeah. I remember. Did you actually READ anything I suggested? ”

“Oh yeah!” She exclaimed, “I haven’t seen it, but I did actually hear about it.. Was it good?” It was a stupid question that she probably already knew the answer to. “Hey, I did! Not all, but some.”

Camilla rolled her eyes and giggled. “I get your point.” Am I gaudy? She wondered. “Are you going to buy anything or just sit there?”

“I don’t really see anything,” she shrugged, “Are you getting the bag?” Rowan smiled, motioning her head towards it.

[bereftings-blog]

cnrdlwsn:

   Well, this wasn’t expected. He and Rowan had been friends long ago — but they hadn’t actually TALKED for the better part of a year and half, two years even. “ Uh, yeah. I suppose. ” He says, a smile creeping onto his face. “ It’s Ender’s Game. ” He tucks his bookmark into the book and flashes her the cover. “ I’m rereading the series this year. ”

“I’ve never heard of it.” She shook her head, biting down on her bottom lip nervously. This was.. awkward, but it felt nice. “You were always my go to source if I wanted a good book to read.”

queencamimontgomery:

“Honest opinion. Is this bag cute?” Camilla asked holding up the designer bag.

“Ehm.. a bit too gaudy for me?” Rowan chuckled at the brunette, “But it suits you!” She paused before she realized what she had said, “No shade -- it just seems like something you would wear. I like it for you!”

     “ well, it’s more than a book. it’s someone’s passion      S P I L L E D onto some pages and bound together. ”

Rowan nodded at Conrad, a light chuckle escaping her pink lips. It was long, far too long, since the pair had talked. The two were great friends back in middle school, but grew distant once life decided to kick both of their asses. “Same old Conrad, eh?” She smiled soft, before resting her chin in the palm of her hand, “What book is that, anyway?
