The last hour had been a quiet one as the household gazed at you through the windows. You'd gone out earlier and started raking leaves, refusing to give an explanation or get any help. Malcolm finally decided to break the tension and spoke up, "That's it, I'm going out there."

He strolled over to you trying to keep a relaxed stature, "You know this yard is too big for one person to rake all on their own, right?"

"Yes, I'm aware. Your point?" you asked in a biting tone.

"Well everyone feels like they're walking on eggshells around you. Why dont you tell me what's wrong?"

You were quiet for a moment before you spoke. "I didn't get in," you mumbled eyes downcast.

"What?" 

"I wasn't accepted into Jouliard, there go make the anouncement and leave me alone," you declared louder this time.

You brothers lips tugged down in thought, "Not to sound heartless, but you can re-apply next semester. It's not the end of the world." 

Tittering bitterly you shook your head, "Of course you'd be relaxed you're going to Harvard."

"I don't think getting into Jouliard is the big issue here," Malcolm stated leaning against a nearby tree.

You sighed ceasing your actions, "Up until now everything I got into was only because Mom had to pay an entrance fee. What if, I'm not good enough? For any school, for any job? I've been living in a previlaged house for most of my life and once I'm out in the real world I might just crash and burn cause I was never actually prepared to experience rejection cause someone's better than me!" All the insecurities plaguing you came out in a subitaneous manner.

"It'll all work out," Malcolm gave a slight shrug of his shoulder. 

"Ugh, I don't even know why i tried opening up to you, of all people." 

He pushed himself off of the tree concern etching his face, "Listen, you're the one person I've never had to worry about." You rolled your eyes shaking you head in irritation. "And that's because you're amazing at so many things, and when you're not you've done what you can to learn. If anyone can adapt, thrive it's you. Don't let Jouliard break you down."

You dropped your head on Malcolm's shoulder and in turn he wrapped an arm around you closing the distance, "Thanks."

"Love the tender moment but Y/N's not gonna finish this yard in on her own," Ainsley said walking up with two rakes and handing one to Malcolm. "Jeff's hoping to have the afternoon off so let's get to it."

Inktober day 8: Frail

[p-redux]

Home After A Long Conference...

And I'm trying to catch up and look at what everyone is posting on this side, and what shippers are saying about Tony and Cait's wedding, trying to muster up the energy to answer my multiple Anon Asks, answer DMs, etc, but I'm SO tired, so I decided to just relax, put my feet up, pour a glass of wine, and BASK in the JOY and GLORY of knowing I was on the side of the Tait truth ALL THESE YEARS... and so was anyone SANE. 🤷‍♀️❤🤭⛪ Slainte! 🥂

P.S. Setting my alarm for 7:30 AM L. A. time. 😋

friends are warmer than gold when you're old and keeping them is harder than you might suppose lately i tend to make strangers wherever i go some of them were once people i was happy to know mounting mileage on the dash double darkness falling fast i keep stressing, pressing on way deep down at some substratum it feels like something really wrong has happened and i confess i'm barely hanging on all my happiness is gone it's all gone somewhere beyond ten thousand afternoons ago all my happiness just overflowed that was life at first and goal to go me and you and us and them and all those people from way back when all our hardships were just yardsticks then, you know? it's not the purple hills it's not the silver lakes it's not the snow cloud shadowed interstates it's not the icy bikechain rain of portland oregon where nothing's wrong and no one's asking but the fear is so strong it leaves you gasping no way to last out here like this for long because everywhere i go i know everywhere i go know all my happiness is gone it's all gone somewhere beyond /purple mountains david berman
