PRE - ESTABLISHED  RELATIONSHIP  MEME  FOR  @ninjaliike

[screwcool-a]

she sits at the base of her bed ,     biting down hard on her bottom lip as she stares out towards her wall ,  a mural of old memories  :  things soft ,  pastel colors  ––  things gentle ,  red hair & darling freckles .  it’s pulling at her ,  something indescribable and heartwrenching  /   heartbreaking  ––  don’t look at me like that ,  she begs photographs .  don’t look at me like that .  DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE I KILLED YOU .  like i did this to you   ––   i’m sorry ,  i did ,  i did ,  i did .  her blankness starts to crack ,  little tears in an otherwise smooth surface .  you’re breaking .  your seams aren’t so strong as you think they are .  a gasp escapes her ,  the first of a series ,  of mouth hung open as she tries to swallow the sound of her crying .  don’t let them know ,  don’t let them know ,  YOU  DON’T  DESERVE  YOUR  MOTHER’S  HUG .  YOUR  BROTHER’S  SYMPATHY .  you don’t deserve any of it . 

she feels a red type of warmth circulating in her cheeks ,  near and around her eyes ,  tears welling & beginning to threaten their own fall .  you’re breaking .  the words repeat and she finds herself rolling her eyes at herself ,  as if to stop them with a gesture ,  a reminder  :  this is useless .  useless .  useless .  a broken record of a word ,  repeating syllable after syllable until she’s heaving  ––  her breaths heavy and consuming ,  chest fluttering and body numbing .  

out of the corner of her gaze she spots the telephone ,  something taunting  :  who would you call ?  BARBARA ?  she’s gone .  STEVE ?  –––  he’s gone .  you pushed him .  you pushed them both .  but it’s late ,  and she’s scared to tell it ,  the same repetitive narrative ,  to the only person she believes she has left .  she can’t call jonathan .  she can’t let him know she’s so guilty ,  SO DISGUSTING .  she can’t let anyone know .  the thought sends a sort of shaking sensation throughout her and she feels jittery ,  on edge ,  the carpet becoming little knives to stab her with ,  to push her up and off the ground ,  back onto her bed and leaning towards the telephone . 

it’s instinct which has her dialing ,              and she doesn’t really think too hard about it before she hears the sound of it ringing  –––  teeth grazing at the edge of her lip and free hand moving to wipe away tears .  ‘  pick up  ––––  pick up ,  pick up ,  pick up ,  ’ she begs ,  a whisper ,  something like a prayer .  the feel of speaking calms her ,  already ,  something to be grateful for but she isn’t sure will last .  ‘  steve –––– ?  ’

❛ why are you laughing? this is a very serious situation. ❜

         She can't stop the snort that sounds, and usually, she'd be embarrassed by the noise, but it just fuels a stream of giggles she can't contain.      ❛❛   I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just... Did you see her face when she realized you were flirting with her?   ❜❜     Another burst of laughter sounds from her, and she's grinning as she shakes her head. The girl Steve had been attempting to flirt with had left in a hurry a few minutes earlier, leaving Carmen, who likes to stop by Family Video during her breaks, a snickering mess.     ❛❛   Oh, Lighten up, Harrington    ——    you'll get the next one.   ❜❜

           ❛     just do it yourself ,   @ninjaliike​ .   ❜     as much as johnny had told himself he was gonna work hard this year ,    he really doesn’t care anymore .    HE DOESN’T SEE THE POINT OF IT .    success feels limited ,   really ,    when everything else in your life is a chaotic mess .    he’s still got bruises ,    people still look at him like he’s been through some major accident ,   and he hates it .    the last thing he wanted was to be paired up in class with a guy he doesn’t even like all that much .

         he sits back in his seat ,   arms folded ,    staring right ahead in the classroom rather than at the guy he’s supposed to be working with .    it doesn’t matter to him that the project is part of their grade ,   it doesn’t matter to him whether or not he affects the other’s grade by not helping ,   either .      ❛     it’s not like you need my help or anything .    ❜

CO  -  STARRING  @ninjaliike​  AS  STEVE  HARRINGTON:     it’s  not  exactly  secret,  it’s  just  hidden  by  stuff.

❛   and  you  don't  think  that's  suspicious?   ❜          maybe  he's  right      —      maybe  she's  jumping  to  conclusions  too  quickly,  without  second  thought  to  a  more  innocuous  explanation  or  what  consequences  assumptions  may  bring...  or  maybe  she's  right  on  the  money,  and  wouldn't  that  be  something?  toe  of  her  sneaker  will  nudge  the  padlock  atop  the  trap  door  as  her  gaze  moves  from  staring  at  her  co-worker  in  disbelief  to  trying  to  decide  why  there'd  be  a  trap  door  in  the  back  room  in  the  first  place,  and  why  they  didn't  know  about  it  until  they  decided  to  do  some  rearranging.          ❛   I  mean,  the  trap  door  is  one  thing.  you're  not  at  all  curious  as  to  why  it's  locked?  you  gotta  admit,  it's  weird  at  minimum.   ❜

SHE  TURNS  QUICKLY ,   STARTLED  BY  THE  SOUND  OF  HIS  VOICE ,  cassette  tapes  still  held  within  wandering,  nosy  hands.   She  offers  a  soft  sort  of  smile,  a  sheepish  shrug  of  her  shoulders.   ❛  Hey,  it’s  not  my  fault  if  you  don’t  know  by  now  that  anything  is  fair  game  when  you  leave  me  alone  for  more  than  thirty  seconds.  ❜   Blue  eyes  look  back  down  at  the  tapes  in  her  hands.   ❛  Anyway,  I  was  just  looking  to  see  if  you  had  anything  new,  but  I  have  been  deeply  disappointed  yet  again.   Same  old,  same  old,  huh?  ❜

(     *     @ninjaliike​ said:     what’s the point in playing a game you’re gonna lose?        ).    

cassie’s smile is a cut across her face:      sometimes,   her sadness consumes.   here,   it festers   (in the absence of a feast to devour,   it grows ugly and wounded around her heart).     she stretches her arms behind her,   an easy shrug forced forward.    there are plenty of games she plays just to lose at   ...   her mother’s heart had always been the pinata she couldn’t quite hit.    this,  though   ...   she could absolutely kick ass at poker.   but you can’t give something like that away too soon.     ‘‘     i’m trying to help you make a quick buck.     ’’

'  oh  steve—they’re  beautiful.  ’   fingers  trace  gently  against  the  petals  of  the  bouquet  now  resting  in  her  arms,  a  soft  smile  pulling  at  her  lips  one  moment  and  stretching  across  her  face  the  next.  it’s  hard  not  to  be  happy—not  with  fresh  flowers,  not  when  they’re  her  favorite  flowers  ( sunflowers  were  just  so  cheerful ),  and  especially  not  when  he’s  pressing  a  soft  kiss  to  her  lips.  smile  is  still  intact  when  he  pulls  away,  slight  flush  to  her  cheeks.   ‘  let  me  put  these  in  a  vase—I’ll  be  right  back.  ’   she’s  quick  with  the  kiss  she  presses  against  his  cheek,  doesn’t  linger,  instead  chooses  to  pivot  on  her  heel  and  head  toward  the  kitchen—but  not  without  casting  a  quick  glance  over  her  shoulder,  still  beaming,  still  happy.
