Indigo tried to smile at the joke, before letting out a small sigh and resting her head against Shelley’s shoulder as she moved a bit closer to her on the couch.  “I will say, the only time I feel even remotely close to as good as I feel when I’m with him is when I’m with you.” She whispered, closing her eyes gently as she let herself relax.

Shelley put her arm around her friend trying not to take it as anything more. She really couldn’t fall for what she assumed was her straight best friend. It was just heartbreak. “Well that’s cause I’m such a good friend.” she said hoping to steer them away so she couldn’t misinterperate. Fall further for the girl.

“Just stop being in love with him?”

She had to stop herself. Her friend was in an almost parasocial relationship. She doubted Brent actually told her anything about himself that wasn’t used to manipulate Indigo into spilling more information than she was comfortable with as if it were a give and take relationship. She doubted her friend knew any of her doctors bad qualities. It was idolization that she dressed up as love and Shelley hated it but she wasn’t losing her friend over this. “Exactly men are trash.” she said making it sound much more like a joke the second time as if she still supported the girl in this crazy one sided relationship

nxt-a-fairy-tale​:

“Has to be better than what I’m dealing with, with Brent.”

“I mean you could just stop.” she said trying to play it off as a joke in case her friend took it too hard.

Indigo smiled softly.  “I wish I had your willpower.” 

“Less willpower and more boredom love. But we can’t all be gods like me.” she joked.

[shelley-burke]

nxt-a-fairy-tale​:

“Would you prefer an ugly one then?”

“Honestly none at all. They’re far more trouble than they’re worth. I’ll just be happy with my best friend.”

[shelley-burke]

nxt-a-fairy-tale​:

“Why wouldn’t there be a point in bringing you a hot guy?”

“They’re just so boring so quickly honestly.”

[shelley-burke]

nxt-a-fairy-tale​:

“If only I had brought you a hot guy in grey joggers.”

“Don’t see the point.” she said but laughed with her friend.

[shelley-burke]

nxt-a-fairy-tale​:

“Your style could have changed.”

“I mean there wasn’t much around to change my style. At least it’s not grey joggers.”

Jane always felt bad for the strained relationship she felt with Shelley, but that didn’t mean she didn’t love her daughter any less. It was why Jane wanted to make things better, she wanted to try and be the mother she should’ve been. “I’m glad.” She smiled. “Have any plans tonight?”

“No not today.” she said shaking her head. She was probably going to pass out as soon as she took the zombie maker medicine anyway. She didn’t need to let her mother know that. “What about you?” she asked after a moment.

Indigo let out a small relieved sigh when Shelley liked it. “I’m so glad.”

[shelley-burke]

“What you think I wouldn’t.” she said smiling softly at the woman.

[shelley-burke]

" oh! i found this in the mall, i figured it might be something you'd like! " Indigo to Shelley

She let out a bright smile. “I love it In.” she said brightly holding it like something she cherished.

" you're shivering. here, take my jacket. " [ From Paul ]

She bit her lip she hadn’t realized she had been standing there for so long. That she’d gotten so cold. She was numb to everything even when her body knew better. “I’m fine.” she said hoping she didn’t sound too dead. Her medicine did this when she ended up overmedicating like she had that morning

" you realise you don't need to ask my permission, don't you? "

" what's mine is yours. always. "

" i don't know precisely what i did to earn your presence in my life, but... i'd do it a thousand times over if i knew what it was. "

" yes, these last few years have been a living hell, but... i'd live them a thousand times over if it meant you being safe and happy. "

" i don't care about everyone else! i care about you, [NAME]!"

“I think this is your coffee instead of mine.” She told the person beside her in Coffee Beans. She’s been trying to ween herself off of alcohol, and it’s not working so much. @secretsummerstarters​

[shelley-burke]

“Oh shit thanks.” she said reaching over. “I must have had my heads way up in the clouds to miss.” she said jokingly with a small smile.

[prxttyliars]

Jane glanced down at her phone as she walked into her house, it was just another stupid email about the bookstore, which she didn’t even own anymore yet she still got emails about. She let out a sigh, shoving her phone back into her bag as she closed the door behind her. The woman walked into the living room, dropping her bags on the couch before looking up to see her daughter in the doorway. “Hi sweetheart, how are you feeling?”

@shelley-burke​​

[shelley-burke]

Shelley still was a little careful with her parents. They had sent her away once when they deemed her too much to handle and she never was sure where that line really lay any longer. She knew she wasn’t the perfect daughter they wanted so she always tried to toe the line around them she never let them in like she would Ella or her friends. She took a breath. “I’m feeling good mum.” she said it wasn’t the most accurate. She’d missed a few doses and felt like she was getting close to unstable but she’d sort that soon enough. She’d be fine soon before anyone could even notice.

“Right.” Maybe he should let her get a job. Even if it was part time job, at least it was something. He just worried. Like always. But he couldn’t help it given everything. “I would love to join you.” But he was trying here. So that had to mean something right? “Do you want to walk downtown or the park? I don’t mind either way.” Which was the truth. He didn’t.

She knew it meant something that he was trying but it didn’t make up for the years he hadn’t and she tried to forgive him. She felt so petty for not when it was obvious he didn’t know what to do with her. She didn’t know what to do with herself most of the time. “I prefer the park. It’s quiet. Peaceful.” she told him putting a smile on her face.

bobby--burke​:

Bobby felt guilty which is why he felt like he couldn’t connect. But he was going to try and make it up to her. She deserved that and so much more. “If you don’t mind I would like to join you. Seems a lot better than just working.”

“I wouldn’t know how that is.” she said not meaning to truly say it but she still felt the backed up resentment that came from her parents infantilizing her treating her as if she couldn’t handle schooling or a job. “If you’d like to join I’d like that.” she said after a moment. She wanted a good relationship with her parents she truly did but for now it felt like she wasn’t going to get one no matter what she did
