us against the world // halaska

It was 11:23pm and Jacob had already woken up three times since being put to bed. He was so tiny, helpless, fragile… Hunter didn’t mind fending to his every possible need. It was as though he’d been given a second chance by fate, and he wasn’t willing to screw it up this time. Plus, a lot had changed. There was a job, there was a marriage, there was a family… Everything had panned out perfectly.

Excluding the fact, that is, that Alaska seemed to be slowly deteriorating. She seemed to be losing herself, yet Hunter couldn’t do anything to help. He was afraid of confronting her about what he saw in case it made her worse - or in case there was absolutely nothing wrong. It was as though he was in a constant battle within his own mind to point it out or not; and this made everything Alaska did or said much more elevated.

“He’s asleep.” Hunter whispered upon walking back into the living room. He had work early, but Alaska had yet to go to bed. He wasn’t an up-tight husband, but the thought of leaving her by herself at ridiculous times of the night worried him more than anything, so he tried his best to be there for her as much as he could - especially as he was out all day most days. This didn’t stop Hunter from waking up in the middle of the night to an empty bed, though. “God, we’re so lucky Lace sleeps like a brick. Well, I think she’s the lucky one. It certainly wouldn’t be ideal with her getting no sleep.”

Sighing, Hunter rested back on the sofa, putting both his feet up. The room was full of silence, although the voices on the TV attempted to rid the daunting nothingness. It failed. Hunter could hear the potential cry from Jacob looming, and he could see the lifeless look on Alaska’s face. She definitely was done in. Hunter knew Alaska enough to know she wasn’t okay. So after a daring five minutes of staring aimlessly at the television screen - sitting at other ends of the sofa - he caved.

“Hey, you.” He smiled, moving himself closer to the brunette. It was a shame to say they hadn’t been intimate in a while either. But Hunter just put that down to tiredness and the fact that Alaska hadn’t long ago given birth. “This may seem really out of the blue, but… Are you okay? I mean, be honest with me… You don’t seem yourself at all lately and it worries me. Tell me if I’m overreacting… But tell me if I’m not. Because I know you and I feel like this isn’t exactly you you.”

Journal Entry 007

"I’m sick of always hearing All the sad songs on the radio All day it is there to remind an over sensitive guy That he’s lost and alone, yeah.” -Blink 182

I can’t forgive, can’t forget.

The date is Friday, February 20th, 2015. It’s been four days since I’ve seen or heard from you and it’s honestly killing me. My world, where are you? You’ve left me and I can’t seem to find where you’ve hidden my heart. Did you take it with you? Probably. You’ve walked away and have taken my heart with you to a place that is unknown to me. I kept thinking to myself that maybe if I looked hard enough, I would find you or I would find where you left my heart. I need to get that back, baby. It belongs to you and it will forever, but I need it in order to fix myself.

Can’t give in what went wrong,

The first night was definitely the worst. I didn’t know where you were. You left without a single word. I looked like a fucking idiot sleeping outside your door, but do you care? Do you even have any remorse for what went on Monday? I’m not saying it’s all your fault, because I know I’m not innocent. I started it and it looks like you’ve finished it with your little stunt of fleeing. I don’t want to love you anymore. You broke my heart and I can’t seem to find a way to stop the pain from swimming through the alcohol that I’ve tried drowning my veins in. I was trying to wash you away. You’re never going to leave, though. You’ll be in my heart, in my veins, in my mind forever. I don’t know if I’ll be in yours, but I hope your dreams aren’t haunted the way mine are.

Cause you said this was right,

I can’t help but think that if we didn’t tell each other that we would be forever, it wouldn’t of hurt as badly as it does now. I remember all the times you looked me in the eyes and told me this was it, I was the one for you. I told you similar things and for that I am, indeed, at fault as well. We’ve had little spats before, but this time is definitely different. You’re gone for good, I feel it in my bones. I didn’t even get to say goodbye. I can’t even remember the last time I kissed your sweet lips. Who knows when that might happen again. I hope you’re finding a new life wherever it is that you went off to. 

You fucked up my life.

I’m almost positively sure that I’ve always made it clear that I wanted to spend my life with you. I’m almost positively sure that I made it clear that I want kids. I will never stop wanting kids. You would be a fantastic mother, I don’t know how many times someone will have to tell you that before you realize it yourself. I love you so fucking much it hurts. Why did we have to go and ruin it all? Things were good, so good. One day, when you are a mother, I hope the asshole you’re with knows how fucking special you are and treats you right because I couldn’t even get you to give the topic a second look. 

I’m kicking out fiercely at the world around me.

I was so mad. So fucking mad. I can’t even comprehend how mad I was at the time. That doesn’t compare to what I feel now, though. I’m frustrated. My whole world is completely flipped upside down. I didn’t pay for an extra month at this shitty hotel, so they’ve got someone lined up to take my room in a week. I didn’t use my plane ticket because I couldn’t stand the thought of going to New Orleans without you. We had plans! How could you just walk away from that? How could I watch you walk away from that?

What went wrong?

for a moment you need me to stay // halaska

She had entered the room where the party was being held in with the plan of drinking little to none, not wanting to be hungover for her birthday, but exited hours later with so much alcohol pulsing through her veins she could barely stand on her own two feet. Her bed was calling her name, and she was about to reside to it, wobbling through the halls and crashing into everything, giggling as she did so, as she tried to find her way back to her room. But a blurry text message of which she could just about make out the words ‘happy birthday!’ soon made her giggly mood drop, and suddenly she was changing her route. It was her birthday. She had made it, just like Bluey had told her to. Her heart had continued beating long enough for her to hit 21. But yet she did not feel like celebrating, not without him. And without even knowing it, her feet were carrying her to his door, barging into his room without a care about whether he or Olivia was in there and sleeping or not. “Hunter!” Her voice boomed through the room as she looked for him, “Y-you, you have some explaining to do!” She pointed at him accusingly, the bottle in her hand being thrusted forward with it, causing some of the alcohol to spill onto the floor as she stumbled, just about managing to keep herself up right, “You cant just.. not love me.. you can’t just do that, that isn’t nice, it isn’t fair, you can’t just turn your heart off like that! Why? Why would you do that!?”
