[ ✠ ] it’s three in the morning and my muse unexpectedly arrives at your muse’s home.
Be strong Elena kept reminding herself, not for you but for your brother for your aunt, it was months after her parents had died, but it was still lingering in her memory , that night coming to her dreams, making them nightmares instead, she was holding the guilt for what happened. If she had not left that day, none of it would have occured, they would still be alive, she barely slept, it must have been three in the morning that she sneak out of the house and went to Bonnie’s house, knocking on the door, just a jacket over her pyjamas, she needed her friend, her hand whipping off the tears, as she knocked once more.
Once the door opened, Elena moved to her friend and wrapped her hands around Bonnie’s neck, laying her head to the woman’s shoulders as she let herself cry all that she was holding.
Bonnie had been awake anyway. She had a bitch of a time trying to get to sleep recently, so she’d snuck downstairs to raid the freezer and watch endless reruns of Teen Mom until she fell back to sleep. She was stunned to hear the knock on the door. Who in their right mind would be awake at this hour?
Except for her, of course.
She opened the door and saw Elena there. As her best friend, she knew by instinct why she was there, so she simply pulled Elena into a hug, holding her close and running a long fingered hand through her dark hair.
Elena had had a rough time of it. She knew that. A lot of their friends thought that Elena should be overf it by now. That her parents weren’t coming back and she had to move on with her life.
Bonnie was more patient and understanding.
She hadn’t had her parents around, as did most of their group of friends, actually. Elena, however, had always had her parents around, and Miranda and Grayson were the parents that the rest of them, she, Matt, Tyler and Caroline, had wanted. Bonnie couldn’t envision what it was like to always have them there, and then have them gone literally overnight.
The only person she couldn’t bear the thought of losing was her Grams, who was thankfully still alive and well.
