@ssystemerrorr ( steve ) asked : " i can see it eating you up, you know. on the inside. "
she hadn’t expected him to pull the car over two blocks away from the holland house . had he realized what she was doing in the bathroom ? that she was FIVE STEPS away from a breakdown ? it wasn’t fair . it would NEVER be fair . and she couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that he didn’t seem to understand any of it . more than anything nancy wanted him to understand . how could he go through life like nothing had happened , that THEY hadn’t killed barb ? maybe it was something to do with the fact that she wasn’t talking about it , that she avoided the conversation when she could . it was easier when they were at school or studying or doing anything that let her occupy her mind . it was when it was QUIET that her head started to go to the upside - down . but she didn’t know HE was paying attention . so when the car stopped and he spoke ? she looked down at her hands clasped on her lap before raising one and biting down on a knuckle . she let her hand fall back to her lap and looked out the window , voice soft . ❝ are you just now noticing ? ❞
