Rachel knew Teresa was tough. Everyone knew Teresa was tough. Maybe that’s the problem. When everyone was sure that you were built to do nothing but fight and endure, you start believing it too.
It worried Rachel since it has come to the point wherein Teresa’s nothing-can-break-me exterior had become extremely similar to lying. Not in a bad way, but in the way that everyone needs a little bit less of the truth in order to feel ready enough to face the day.
After the operation that fixed WICKED’s control into her head, she just smiled and said, “It didn’t hurt that much.”
When she first learned that she had to forget Thomas eventually, and vice versa, she didn’t let tears fall. Thomas was already a mess in her arms and, as always, she needed to be the strong one. “I’m sure we’re going to be okay. I’m not worried for us, Tom.”
As she watched the first group of kids get sent into the maze, she squeezed Aris’ hand and said, “Don’t worry. They’ll make it. We’ll make sure of it.”
When Rachel told Teresa she loved her, Teresa held her by the shoulders and said, “Of course I love you too, you’re an amazing friend.”
But, that wasn’t all to her. Unlike what people see, Teresa Agnes was never just the tough girl with an invincible heart. Teresa had cracks to her shell just as much as everyone else had. On the rare occasion that she lets people look through the crevice in her bravado, all they’ll see is the truth spilling out with the fear she’s trying to dam up inside.
It’s those little moments. Little moments Rachel got to see.
It’s the waking up at midnight, days after the operation, and Teresa is sobbing into Rachels’ shoulder, barely getting words out. “They’re making me feel like I can’t breathe anymore.”
It’s her sliding down to the floor with her back against the door she just shut after she walks into Rachel’s room when she gets back from talking to Thomas. Tears streaming and fingers trembling. “They’re going to take away the first thing - the first person - that ever made me feel human.”
It’s the way Rachel found her in the middle of the night in one of the observation labs. She was curled up in the chair, staring at the screens that displayed the children she had helped sent to the mazes. “I know most of them won’t make it. I know it’ll be our fault.”
It’s the night before Rachel’s turn to be sent in. It’s Teresa carefully slipped into Rachel’s bed, and succumbed to her embrace. It’s them touching their foreheads - so close they can barely see each other, but Rachel could feel Teresa’s damp cheeks and ragged breaths. “I’m sorry…I know what you meant. I love you too.”

Take the top two or three parties (depending on how close they are percentage wise) and google them, look at their website and see who you feel good about.
Then (or skip that first step and go on to watching either of these) maybe watch the leaders debate or I’ve said before but Free Speech which is on iplayer is a v good accessible source where you can get a good feeling of who you agree with, so you could just watch the eps with the parties you identify with most.
It’s really hard to get in to politics now, especially when there’s so many more parties but it’s so important you feel confident when it comes to voting that the party you’re going for is the closest to how you feel about things.
last week i got new sunglasses and i felt pretty good in my skin and i was also tagged by flareglader and spencerhasitngs and shynewt to do the selfie meme so here my face goes babes ♥
