annie-lopierce :

Just takes time.

I mean there’s prepared and then there’s prepared. I just didn’t think it would happen. I don’t know how you and mum did it, just get something in your mind and be okay with outcome. I just- I miss her.

Mom and I are the logical thinkers in the family. It’s easy for us to accept facts. Even painful ones. I miss her too. A lot - but hey we have each other. And we have dad. We’ll get through this. 

[elijahlopierce]

annie-lopierce :

Good. That couch isn’t all that comfy anyway. I think dad just needs some time.

Yeah, I mean I figure it’d be harder on you anyway. I mean I wasn’t super close to mum like you were.

What an understatement. I woke up and my back hurt for hours from sleeping on it. He’ll be fine eventually.

I’ve been preparing for this since they told us she was sick. We got more time than I was expected so I’m not as broken by it as everyone assumed I would be.

annie-lopierce :

You can sleep in my room? I know dad has kind of taken yours, but I don’t think he can stand being in his right now.

Okay, I just wanted you to help packing up her clothes. Just so dad doesn’t have to.

I’ll take that offer. I know, he has been barely able to go in the living room so I’m not expecting to get my room back. 

Are you sure you want to do that? I can handle the job by myself if it is too much.

annie-lopierce :

Do you have to go back to New York? I know it’s been a couple of weeks since the funeral but- I don’t want you to leave.

No. I don’t have to... my supervisor had already offered me more time off. I’m sure dad won’t mind me taking up the couch. Harmony already knew I was considering extending my time here.  I can take it and stay another week at the most.

After that I have to get back to the grind or I’ll be pushed back to square one.

harmony-trescott :

Of course I’m gonna be okay, have you met me? I know and it sucks but I love you. And I don’t want you giving up Harvard for me.

Stupid question. I love you too and I’m not going to give it up I promise.

When you mad at bae

[elijahlopierce]

harmony-trescott :

You’ll get photos and videos and it will be like you were never gone.

Yeah I know. You keep telling me that but it is hard to believe. Are you going to be okay? I’ll miss you. I just got you back and I already have to leave again.

[elijahlopierce]

I really don’t want to leave for Harvard tomorrow. He’s going to change so much while I am gone.

[elijahlopierce]

harmony-trescott :

That’s a good way to look at it, but you know I’m here if you need me. Maybe he just needs some time as well.

I love you so much. Maybe. Mom kind of always kept him together so I don’t know.

[elijahlopierce]

harmony-trescott :

Although I agree with that, I do know it’s going to take some time. How’s your dad holding up?

Time will help. It also helps that mom was so insistent I move forward with my life. She wouldn’t want me letting her passing get me down. Better than I expected but not as good as I hoped. He has been referring all of his clients to Sage and staying home. I worry that without work he has nothing to distract him from dwelling on the past.
