it’s a bright day, a pretty day. not the day for this. not a day for me who preferred nights and scary dark areas to days and pretty places. it’s out of character and out of need for me to write letters to you, it’s always you makes the first step, always you who puts your feet in even though you know i am probably going to stomp it out. funny right? i push and push and you pull and pull and we’re stuck in this scary sort of limbo neither of us can escape. i need you to know this, will. i need to tell you this and i need you to hear it from me before you hear it from anyone else. it’s summer and my heart belongs to you, it’s autumn and my heart belongs to you, it’s winter and my heart still belongs to you because the truth is―the truth is that i goddamn love you so much.

Will Dehaan likes to think he’s the easy-going guy. The peacemaker. The one who cleans up after everyone. He likes being the reliable dude, the boy everyone trusts to do the right thing.

Only, he isn’t sure what he’s doing anymore.

Clair is a pretty town. New place. New people. New beginnings too, according to his parents. But too many messy endings and too many memories weigh him down like a sack of brick on his back. The only thing he is good at is reading people, thinking and guessing what they might do next. And for some reason, he can’t even seem to do that anymore.

At least he couldn’t.

Enter Noor Van der Steen. Two weeks after school officially began. With her entire hair dyed yellow. Noor is the perfect subject for a person like him to observe: naturally fake humor and tension jutting up every muscle at the slightest notion of being touched. It’s just that there’s a thin line that starts to blur when you spend too much time looking at someone.

A thin line between platonic interest and something much, much more scarier.

Something he isn’t ready to accept just yet.

STATIC LOCATIONS.

clairton forest: is magic at it's thickest, is the rumble of wind where it cuts through the leaves, is the edge of a foggy bank and damp whispers in your ear. it is looking up at the endless grey sky and feeling the hair at the back of your neck stand in quiet static, is a sense of longing for a place that does not exist. it is a small secret of time, ancient and powerful and lonely and it is a place of death, death and then rebirth.

the dig: is not a place. it is a being, a brain and an era; it is not a home and it never will be but it is a safe refuge and till time comes to an end, it will continue to be so. life quivers before it and only the dead can see it, the palm trees are crooked and the jakartas aren't really from here. it is a mix of concrete and a few spells, dry and empty. nothing really lives here. nothing really stays.

#55: at night, there are a lot of sounds. the forest is alive and moving and churning and the coyotes are howling while the deers are screaming. trains are rattling in the distance and the sky is an awful blue splattered with silver. you're on your bed, cupping both your palms into tiny fists on either sides of you to resist the wailing of the world. it's scary but it's home and a home will always be a home will always be a home.

clair's tale: centuries of stories are laid bare here where machines are always beeping and life never seems to leave. the faces are all the same but you don't recognize them, yet they waitress makes sure you know she knows you and the cashier greets you with an intimate smile like you've known each other for years. the ice cream is melting. time is melting. the streetlights are melting. the concrete is melting. seconds are days are moments between the tip of your fingers gliding on the plywood and the sharp exhale of breath leaving your mouth.
