trigger warning: murderer, serial killer, divorce, abandonment
penelope davis was a big eyed, too nice, naïve little girl. growing up with her mother and grandmother, she was nurtured, loved, and cherished. she was also very sheltered and therefore wasn’t always able to see things for their blunt truths, as her mother tried to protect her from the outside world as much as possible. penelope has never known her father and most of the time it doesn’t have much effect on her. as a young girl she never really asked too many questions, she was observant but understood even young that the subject of her dad made her mother emotional and her grandmother angry. all she really knows is that he left long before she was born, and that he most likely was never coming back around. penelope was very much so always taking care of her mother’s emotions and holding things inside as not to upset her, even though penelope was the child and shouldn’t have had that responsibility on her at so young. in fact, she was always taking care of the adults in her family, coddling them and tip toeing around their reactiveness.
it was draining, being the only adult in the room when you aren’t even an adult. this only prepared penelope for the care taking skills she would gain when in her young adult life, skills that make her an exceptional child psychologist. as a college student, penelope worked her ass off and finally had a sense of freedom when she moved on campus and was able to do life on her own for the first time. she was the kind of girl who took her studies serious but her friends on campus made sure to help her keep a healthy balance of work and play. it was here at university that penelope met the man she thought she’d spend the rest of her life with. brandon was charming, quiet, sweet, and head over heels in love with her. they did everything together, and looking back, maybe it was a bit too much too soon. penelope had never been in a serious relationship before. taking care of her emotionally sick grandmother and mother didn’t leave her much time for a personal life growing up, and sure, she’d gone on dates before but this was her first real relationship. it was all so new, so raw, and so exhilarating.
when penelope was twenty two, the two got married. at twenty five, penelope was having her first child. it was all so perfect, it was all so surreal. she was barely twenty five and already had her dream job, dream husband, and a new baby coming into the world to be loved and spoiled rotten. penelope was a natural born mother, she’d waited her whole life for something to complete her like motherhood did. things were going great, penelope was on cloud nine. it wasn’t until their daughter was born that brandon started to completely change his behavior. he went from being attending, kind, and loving to being withdrawn, distant, and coming home late at all hours of the night. penelope knew something was all sorts of wrong but she never would have imagined the grim truth of what her husband was doing behind closed doors. one cold autumn morning, detectives showed up at her door to let her know that her husband had been arrested and linked to three different murders of young college students in the united states. her world came crashing down, her life was never the same.
penelope wasn’t stupid, she saw the evidence against her husband and immediately knew she could never have anything to do with him again. her mom and grandmother were mortified and they cared more about the embarrassment it brought the family rather than penelope’s well being. people would vandalize her property, friends started looking at her funny, she couldn’t even go to the grocery store anymore. enough was enough, penelope decided that america had nothing left to salvage and she packed her things and moved to nottinghill with her daughter mia and has never looked back. she is officially divorced and lives with her three male roommates in a loft style flat. they are like a big family and penelope never speaks about her past.
PARABÉÉÉÉÉÉÉNS! Começar o ano mais velha deixa mais forte essa sensação de recomeço que todo novo ano traz. Que seja um dos bons pra ti, muita saúde e muitas realizações, Feliz Aniversário!
laraaaaaaa! ♥ i’m good, thank you so much omg. i’ve been to a job interview last monday, and they said they’d call me today but they still haven’t called and i’ve been waiting all day and ugh. how are youuuu?
penelopedavis replied to your post “thank you guys so much omg. ♥ it’s much appreciated really. i’m not...”
wife? omg this is so sad... Does anyone have any idea what happened to him?
yeah, wife. he got married like a couple of months ago on curacao, and he's only 19. and no, i don't think so. maybe his parents since his mother flew to spain today to identify a found body which turned out to be him. so i'm sure they've been told how he died. it also turned out he died on october 17th.
omg I thought that this work wouldn't be easy, but I had no idea it would be so hard. You're so young, you finished school a little while ago, don't let work overwhelm you in this way, especially when you're not feeling good. I'm sure you can get a better job that will leave you more satisfied. good luck Sylvia, I hope everything works out for you.
i just came back from quitting the job and part of me even regrets it because the people i work with are just so lovely but the work just sucks. not to mention the hours like you get up, you eat, you leave, you walk all day, you come home and all you wanna do is sleep. as soon as people see you walking towards their door their face go from a smile to if looks could kill. i don't even like it when sales people come to my door and try to sell me things i don't want, and suddenly i became that person and i hated who i became. i just need to find a job that i can combine with my homestudy, i'd rather make less money than become a person i don't wanna be and be tired all the time and get nothing done. but yeah, a part of me still regrets it just because everyone there is so lovely. thank you though. ♥
