i just wanted to help. — @mrdergenes — misc prompts
❛ i know . sorry . you just spooked me a little . ❜ words left her in a rush , almost apologetically . slid an empty box over to the other as she continued to fill up her own . random display clutter that had decorated the shelves . books that had began to collect dust over since everything went just a little wrong . everything happened and shit was just ignored , until now . in which those things were now being piled into boxes so they could try and move on . really try .
she decided to carry on talking , it seemed to help . always had . helped her work things out . understand people . and , she felt at this point that she needed to understand her son more . no matter the possible outcome that had come back to weigh on her shoulders . ❛ you excited for the move ..? ❜ it was only a few words but she couldn’t ignore her son . she could disappear once andy was home , go hide away in their room and let herself breathe for a moment .
laurie felt awful . felt like a piece of shit for being so … tense around her own son . it shouldn’t be like that . and , she believed that he wouldn’t hurt her . she had no fear of that . but , it was others she feared for . and she tried her best not to show it . to show this lack of trust , this lack of connection between herself and him . she could never not love him . a mother’s love didn’t die , she knew this . that’s what seemed to hurt the most . the way it gripped at her heart , it made it all harder .
still , with what little strength she had , she brought a smile to her face . small but with that love she had for him . as hands picked up another stack of books and tucked them away into the cardboard box , pushing them in as carefully as possible .
𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚑𝚎 𝚊 𝚋𝚊𝚍 𝚜𝚘𝚗 ? almost definitely . the trauma they had been through , because of him , had put up tall , glass walls . he could see his mother , he could watch the glass fog up from his own breath as she turned her back on him . it was all too late to try & make a bridge across their islands , mend the doubt that has built up in her mind about him . hands busy themselves with the box he was handed , slender fingers making quick work at packing away the remainder of memories , fragile feeling in his hands ---- like a life to take . they’re placed gently in the box & lips purse . ❝ i guess . ❞ her gaze is avoided , blue eyes on the photograph he has picked up , 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 & 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣 . happy , excited . before he fucked it all up . ❝ i mean , it’ll be good . . . dad says there’s a job for you . . . ? ❞ jaw tenses as his sentence trails off , adult affairs feeling foreign on his tongue , awkwardly in between the world of still being protected by parents & having to face the reality .
he missed her voice , that caught him off guard . a home that was once full of laughter , singing , his mother’s soft voice at his side when it all got too much . now replaced with cold silence , he felt the chill in his lungs . ❝ that’s exciting . ❞ once again , 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 , embarrassment colouring his cheeks at trying too hard to speak to his own mother . azure eyes stay on her visage for a few seconds too long , before they fall back to the things he idly packs .

the scar upon the other features is the first thing he notices , 𝐢𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 ---- he coughs , then corrects his gaze as to not offend . ❝ thanks . ❞ feet carry him across the threshold & he hesitates , falters . . . 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 . ❝ hey , um - if you’re sitting alone , maybe . . . ❞ words are regretted as soon as they leave his mouth , he was just handing himself to the wolves at this point . a laugh is forced . ❝ i don’t know . don’t worry , thanks . for the door . ❞

JAEDEN MARTELL as JACOB BARBER ⟶ DEFENDING JACOB, episode 7
𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐛 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 . the intense glare of somebody he didn’t know , but who knew him , knew what he was accused of & took it as absolute truth . villain in their narrative : a role he’d accept , even if the kind smiles of strangers had all but disappeared & he had to sneak away from home , to save himself the lecture that would come from both parents - it was stupid , he’d admit that . but the walls of his home had become oppressive , closing in on him until he couldn’t breathe , the fake smiles of his parents painted the walls , 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚃𝙴𝙰𝚁𝚂 𝙾𝙵 𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝙼𝙾𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁 𝙳𝚁𝙾𝚆𝙽𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙷𝙸𝙼 . he needed to leave , so he did .
with all the confidence in the world tucked between his ribs , jacob barber took to the streets without the consent or knowledge of his parents . nothing happened , nothing beyond what always happened : it wasn’t a big deal . . . but both parents overacted , he thought . young mind could never understand their worry , 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓’𝒔 𝒚𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 . ( an apology would follow , it always does . ) thighs are brought to his chest , lanky arms brought around his legs , mother’s gaze avoided by resting his cheek atop his knees .
@groupheart : ‘talk to me.’
❝ there’s nothing to talk about . ❞ emotionally spent , as if he hit his limit just by watching both parents be so disappointed in him . ❝ it’s not like [ . . . ] you could fix it . ❞ words are slow , huffed out ---- spoken like a child with an adults clothes on , playing pretend . tears sting his eyes & they’re quick to be blinked away . fingertips flex around the denim of his jeans , bunching up the fabric & then letting go , repeating . ❝ i just want things to go back to normal , mom . ❞
