jolting awake in the bed that belonged to max. she let out a breath bringing a hand to her face. “just a nightmare..” she whispers to herself, not daring to be any louder to wake up max up who was laying asleep next to her. her fingers gripping the blanket before finally shoving them off of herself. now moving to swing her legs off of the bed to get up -- she only needed a cup of water and maybe she could relax her own nerves.
she ventured towards the door extending her hand to grip the cold metal hand, turning it to open the door slowly. she was mindful to not let the door creak before slipping out of the bedroom to head to the kitchen. she thought she’d be the only one up at this time. it was late. three one five am. she knew that it meant LATE.
now entering the kitchen she searched for the cups until she opened the cabinet to peer in spotting a plastic cup. she reached up grabbing it in silence moving towards the sink to turn it on, watching the cup fill with water. it wasn’t until she heard footsteps causing her to turn off the tap quickly, and turn around gripping the cup. maybe it was just max. she could’ve accidentally woke her up.
it wasn’t until she saw a taller familiar face, she averted her eyes quickly. taking a quick sip of her water glancing back towards him. it had been awhile since they had actually spoken. not after the mall incident. it had only been glances, no words to be spoken. finally here she was moving back against the kitchen counter, focusing on what to say. what to do. “..hello.” hesitant with greeting him. they had both been through so much, but the memories of his own childhood engraved into her brain. it was hard.
@hotgrove a starter !
“ ugh , you are so disgusting , ya know ? ” she rolls her eyes at him . she crosses her leg while she fixes herself up on his bed . “ sometimes i don’t even know why i’m friend with you . ” it’s a good question ; and she doesn’t know . perhaps , those are the best friendships . “ do you honestly assume that every girl is into you the moment they lay their eyes on you ? ” / @hotgrove
“ what can i say? i rule. ”

FINGERS THUMBED THROUGH THE PICTURES THAT HAD FINALLY DEVELOPED. They were technically taken in the late hours of last night where it was so pitch black she could barely see her hand in front of her face let alone any ghosts showing up in the photos she had taken. Lydia didn’t actively go hunting for ghosts but she had heard of haunts and come across spirits that recognized her as the human that had almost married a certain B-Word poltergeist before sending him back to the Neitherworld. The presence behind her was disturbing and she glanced over her shoulder to see Billy hovering right over her. ❝ Well, I’ve gathered that you’ve seen more than enough, ❞ she spoke, turning over another photo eerier than the last. ❝ Questions and comments. ❞

STOMACH WRITHES SLOW TO KNOTTED PIT , nails pinching crescents along palms sweat-slick as one merely hovers , caught in place ( BETWEEN WORLDS ) with mind whiteboard blank swung somewhere far above his shoulders . give pause , reconsider RESOLVE clumped in the back of closed throat , freezer burn phlegm swallowed down to stiffened lung , & ease . breathe , in / out / in through the nose until shoulders LOOSEN , straighten concave spine & grip shirt hem with emboldened fingers .
he lifts only high enough to SEE , bare minimum & sustained long enough to take note & not a second more ; flesh turned pink , light , SCAR TISSUE sheen stretched short over ribcage span —— re-covered , hands returning to anxious fist at his sides . ❝ ... Nancy Wheeler gave this to me with a FIRE poker , ❞ rushed , minute waver soothed with short exhale intermission , ❝ i-i don’t really remember it because i was —— i was like YOU were , before ... & he likes it cold , so —— ❞ voice tapers off like smoke through weakened clutch backtrack , why did you come here , do this , say this ? a thick , heavy thing to carry , this SICKNESS even in aftermath , bodysnatched & hung out to dry insides inside out & folded back again ; for YOU or for him ? INCONCLUSIVE , he continues on all the same . ❝ i’m sorry . that we couldn’t —— BURN it out sooner . ❞
“ okay, get out. ” he spits his words like they’re aimed poison, evidence of how his patience has been worn thin enough to nearly snap. it’s a party at steve’s house, one which billy wasn’t invited to --- but that’s coincidentally the case with most of the guests. it just comes with the territory, steve knows ; if you invite twenty people to a party, fifty will show up. but BILLY ? he figured billy wouldn’t be a problem. billy wouldn’t be stupid enough to step foot anywhere near the harrington residence. GOD, WHY'S HE GOTTA BE SO WRONG ALL THE TIME ?
the front door is held open with one hand while the other widely gestures to the world outside, a non - threatening, non - physical way of nudging billy to leave. steve doesn’t want to get into a fight, especially not here, because if he and this total asshole start whamming on each other and expensive things break in the crossfire, his parents are gonna sit him down and give him their classic ‘ YOU'VE REALLY DISAPPOINTED US ( AGAIN ) ’ talk whenever they decide to stop drinking piña coladas and come home from their mini - vacation. “ waste space on someone else's property. the lifeguard thing doesn’t really apply to my pool. ” // @hotgrove !
