TEARS WELLED IN BEX'S EYES. TODAY had been a shitshow — after a screaming match with her parents, she'd decided. she was leaving. gone forever. there was nothing left for her in this house. it ached and groaned with so much pain that she couldn't take it anymore. no matter how much she prayed to god, there was no answers to anything. there were so many more questions than answers. ( WHY DID HE LET THEM SUFFER LIKE THIS? )
backpack slung over her shoulder, she nudged her younger brother's door open. ( PLEASE BE ASLEEP PLEASE BE ASLEEP PLEASE BE — ) he stirred. her heart stopped. she didn't want to say goodbye.
❛ hey. ❜ just the word made her voice crack, still wrought with tears. hoarse and lifeless. ❛ i just wanted to — give you this. ❜ bex held up a note. ❛ was kind of hoping you were still asleep. ❜ she stepped fully into the room, letting the door shut behind her. she supposed they were actually going to have this conversation.
