the sky erupts

I've been havin' dreams Jumpin' on a trampoline Flippin' in the air I never land, just float there As I'm looking up Suddenly the sky erupts Flames alight the trees Spread to fallin' leaves Now they're right upon me

I’m still learning to love the parts of me that no one claps for.

“i just found out that the leafy part of a strawberry is called a calyx… and honestly?? it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.“ the blonde muttered, running a hand through her hair. “i don’t think i’ll ever look at a strawberry the same again.”

“it’s called a .... what now, dear?” lily asked as she looked up from her spot near the stove. she was actually cooking for once, this was a rarity. “well then it’s a good think i’m not cooking strawberries, don’t you think?”

❛        (        she  hides  her  head  into  the  crevice  of  her  mother’s  neck,  but  it  almost  like  the  sobs  couldn’t  stop  coming  out  as  much  as  she  was  trying  to  stop.    it  had  been  three  months  since  she  had  last  cried  about  that  faithful  break  up,  and  it  was  three  months  of  internal  turmoils  and  repressed  tears;  she  wonders  why  tonight  out  of  all  nights  everything  changed,  why  everything  came  crashing  down  now.    “  it  hurts  so  much,  mama.  ”  she  let  out  weakly,  eyes  filled  with  fresh  tears  as  her  mascara  runs  down  her  cheeks.    “  but  i  am.  ”    nikola  was  insecure  in  many  aspects  that  everyone  could  not  pinpoint,  she  didn’t  believe  she  deserve  that  sort  of  happiness,  she  knew  she  was  not  a  good  person  and  bad  people  did  not  deserve  what  she  had  with  the  aforementioned  boy.     “  that’s  it,  i  wasn’t  able  to  say  i  love  him;  he’s  loved  me  since  day  one  and  i  could  never  say  it.    i  love  him  so  much  mama  but  he-  he  deserves  so  much  better  than  me.  ”

“you’re okay baby, just let it all out and tried to breathe,” she spoke softly and kept a tight hold on her daughter. she remembered months ago when they were just like this. nikola sobbing because it was over with that boy. she just held her close and reminded her to breathe. she wanted to tell her daughter that this wasn’t the end of the world, but she wouldn’t say that. to nikola that had been the end of the world, and lily would try her best to be understanding. “do NOT say that nikola davenport,” her voice was stern. lily pulled away and moved her hands to nikola’s shoulders. “you are NOT replaceable, do not say that in this house again.” one hand moved up to cup nikola’s cheek. lily didn’t know what she was supposed to say here. she wasn’t a fan of hunter’s because he had broken her little girl, but here nikola was saying she still loved him. “there is no such thing as better than you, there’s only you, okay?”

❛        (        the  sound  of  her  mom’s  voice  slows  the  sobs  coming  from  her  mouth,  but  the  intense  pain  she  feels  continues  as  if  it  was  something  even  her  mother’s  hold  couldn’t  stop.    nikola  acted  for  a  living  and  while  she’s  had  some  of  the  most  heart  wrenching  scenes,  she’s  never  truly  felt  pain  until  it  came  to  her  break  up  with  hunter.    she  was  so  scared,  so  scared  that  she  wasn’t  good  enough  for  him,  that  even  almost  saying  she  loved  had  ended  with  her  losing  the  one  person  she  loved  most  in  the  world.    “  it-it  feels  like  i  can’t  breathe,  mama.  ”  she  sobbed out,  her  dainty  fingers  holding  onto  her  mother’s  wrist.    “  i’m  replaceable,  he’s  only  had  three  months  to  replace  me  and-  it  was  me  in  his  arms  last  year  mama,  it  was  me  he  lifted  in  the  air  when  he  won  an  award,  it  was  me  he  loved.   and  i  messed  up.”

her hand reaches up to the back of nik’s head and she gently tugs the girl closer to her. lily presses a soft kiss to the top of her daughter’s head and hopes that the sobs will continue to slow down. “you can breathe baby, just try for me. just take a couple good breaths for me,” she spoke softly. if pained her to see her daughter like this. nikola was her youngest, her baby girl. she’d always been fiercely productive of her children, but she was just a little moreso with nikola. “you are NOT replaceable,” she shook her head as her hand moved to cup her daughter’s cheek. “you are the furthest possible thing from replaceable.” lily sighed and paused for a moment. “i know it hurts. i know you loved him. but you can’t hold onto someone you don’t have anymore, okay? that only makes things hurt worse and worse.”

alana was trying her best to have a good time, she had expected the paparazzi to be long gone especially since the party was almost over, but when one camera flashed in front of her eyes, she turned around to face the closest person she could find. “please help me.. he won’t leave me alone.” she asked the other as she put on a fake smile for the camera.

once she heard the younger girl’s plea, lily immediately rushed into action. she placed herself between alana and the member of the press and scowled. “hey! leave her alone, she’s just a kid!” lily quipped. she waited several moments, her mind racing trying to figure out her next attack. luckily for her they gave up.

*        /        MOM

she  never  stayed  at  after  parties  too  long,  she  was  always  expected  on  set  the  next  morning  anyways  and  many  people  told  her  she  was  a  workaholic  for  never  relaxing  but  it  kept  her  mind  off  of  everything.    it  kept  her  mind  off  of  hunter.    seated  in  the  limo  until  home  she  was  on  the  verge  of  breaking,  she  did  everything  to  make  herself  look  perfect  for  the  cameras  and  just  seeing  him,  hearing  his  voice  and everything  else  tore  her  apart.     walking  into  the  davenport  home,  she  closed  the  door  behind  her  and  she  broke  down  crying;  she  could’ve  been  happy  with  him  but  she  made  the  mistake,  this  had  all  been  her  fault.    the  anger  filled  in  her  and  she  was  grabbing  the  nearest  item  and  throwing  it  across  the  room,  she  needed  something  she  needed  the  quiet  to  stop,  she  wanted  it  all  to  stop  hurting.    one  item  turns  to  two  then  to  three  and  it  continues  because  the  quiet  infuriates  her,  the  tears  still  rushing  down  her  face.     “  i-i.  ”    she  just  wanted  to  breathe,  something  she  had  been  unable  to  do  for  the  past  three  months.     she  slowly  fell  to  the  floor,  her  tears  and  sobs  become  louder  to  her  current  state  of  inconsolable  until  the  one  person  she  wanted  to  see  walked  in.     “  it-it  hurts,  mama.  ”    @lilydcvenport

she could already tell that something was wrong with her daughter. their limo ride home wasn’t filled with their usual critiques of who was wearing what and who was speaking to who. lily could recount HOURS of them just speaking about the fashion at a particular event. those were some of her most cherished memories with her youngest daughter. she strode inside the house quickly, excited to get her uncomfortable shoes of and hoping to give nikola some space. lily crossed into the kitchen and heard the front door close. what she wasn’t expecting was to hear was items crashing in the entryway. she rushed back out to where she had left nikola and watched as her daughter breaks down. “hey, hey,” she spoke in a hushed voice. lily knelt down next to nik and wrapped her arms around her. “it’s okay baby girl, what hurts?”

    ‘  who  would  have  thought  we  were  old  enough  to  have  our  kids  winning  these  things ? ’     she  muttered  as  she  brought  the  beer  bottle  neck  up  to  her  lips  and  took  a  long  swig .  she  had  never  really  been  a  wine  or  champagne  kinda  girl .  she turned  towards  one  of  her  best  friends  (  they’d  been  in  the  industry  long  enough  to  know  way  to  much  about  each  other  )  as  she  let  a  genuine  and  only  slightly  intoxicated  smile  to  follow .     ‘  i  mean  ––  it  feels  like  just  yesterday  i  was  a  ripe  seventeen  at  this  thing . ’    

“i DON’T feel old enough to even have kids nominated for these,” she laughed and mimicked cassia, pulling the rim of her glass up to her lips. the rum and coke stung just enough as it moved its way down her throat. “we were seventeen like yesterday, i know we were. still competing for the spotlight instead of being mature and friends. god –– do you remember that? sixteen year old me, hated you. i’m still so sorry for that,” lily chuckled.
