"I Feel Like You Killed That Guy." For Michael Wheeler !

"I feel like you killed that guy." – for Michael Wheeler !

          mike  had  hardly  been  known  for  his  upper  body  strength.  gym  class  always  left  him  winded—though  the  asthma  didn’t  help—and  he  knew  that  he  had  noodle  arms.  so,  maybe  he  put  more  momentum  behind  his  swing  than  intended  when  he  hit  the  guy  over  the  head  with  a  shovel,  but  he  hadn’t  thought  it  would  be  enough  to  actually  kill  him. 

          “ what  are  you  talking  about ? ”  mike  asked,  incredulously.  “ i  didn’t  kill  him !  he’s  just—knocked  out.  i  didn’t  hit  him  that  hard,  and  besides,  it  was  in  self-defense ! ”

❛  i can't stop thinking about you even when i try.  ❜ ❛  every time i see you, it's like my heart skips a beat.  ❜ ❛  i never realized how much i needed you until you weren't there.  ❜ ❛  do you ever feel like there's something missing ... like a piece of your heart is somewhere else?  ❜ ❛  i wish i had the courage to tell you how i feel.  ❜ ❛  if only you knew how much you truly mean to me.  ❜ ❛  do you ever wonder what it would be like if things were different between us?  ❜ ❛  sometimes i wonder if you ever think about me the way i think about you.  ❜ ❛  i had a lot of dreams about you recently.  ❜ ❛  somehow, you're always on my mind.  ❜ ❛  i think i've been in love with you since the day we met - scratch that, i know i've been in love with you since the day we met.  ❜ ❛  my biggest wish is to hold you close and never let you go.  ❜ ❛  all my life i've felt like a part of me was missing, but with you i've finally found it.  ❜ ❛  you deserve better than who i am right now, but i'm gonna keep trying to become someone you do deserve.  ❜ ❛  every time you smile at me, i get this flutter in my chest.  ❜ ❛  do you think i'll ever be worthy of your love?  ❜ ❛  i want to be the person to make you happy. the one person you can always come to with whatever you need.  ❜ ❛  will we ever get another chance together?  ❜ ❛  you were the best thing that's ever happened to me.  ❜ ❛  my biggest regret is ever letting you go.  ❜ ❛  i'm still in love with you ... and i honestly never stopped.  ❜ ❛  when i wake up in the morning, you're the first person i want to see.  ❜ ❛  every time i wake up, i check if you wrote me another message.  ❜ ❛  i wish i could be as important to you as you are to me.  ❜ ❛  it hurts when you don't talk to me like you used to.  ❜ ❛  i miss everything about you, your touch, your laugh, your smile. i wish i could have that back.  ❜ ❛  i want to fall asleep wrapped in your arms.  ❜ ❛  hold me closer; i always feel safer when you're with me.  ❜ ❛  there's so much i wish i was able to tell you.  ❜ ❛  i know things aren't easy right now, but i want to remain a fixture in your life. after all, you're one in mine.  ❜ ❛  i miss the way you always made me smile.  ❜ ❛  you're the reason i keep holding on.  ❜ ❛  maybe we're supposed so to remain a case of 'right person, wrong time' forever.  ❜ ❛  if only you knew how i feel about you.  ❜ ❛  i'm yearning to hold your hand in mine.  ❜ ❛  i think you are the one for me, and i hope one day i'll be the one for you, too.  ❜ ❛  do you think i'll ever become more than a friend to you?  ❜ ❛  my heart belongs to you, always and forever.  ❜ ❛  my first instinct is to protect you, no matter the cost.  ❜ ❛  i've been thinking about us a lot lately.  ❜

“Is now a bad time to ask your name?” luke @ kate !

          she’s  in  the  middle  of  pulling  her  pants  up,  fastening  them  as  she  hears  luke’s  question.  kate  isn’t  typically  the  type  to  do  one  night  stands,  though  it  has  been  known  to  happen.  this  just  so  happens  to  be  one  of  those  times,  but  it's  different  in  a  way.  she’s  never  been  asked  her  name  after  the  fact.  her  partner  either  knew  before  they  even  did  anything  or  she  could  sneak  out  before  any  awkward  small  talk  had  to  be  exchanged.

          “ got  some  real  southern  charm  there,  don’t  you ? ”  she  teases,  grabbing  her  shirt  to  tug  it  down,  over  her  head.  the  truth  is,  he  had  been  rather  kind  to  her,  and  he  didn’t  seem  like  the  crazy  stalker  type…

“ it’s  kate. ”

“Well that went better than I thought it would.”

“Can you leave now?”

“I thought you’d be gone by now?”

“…  We didn’t, did we?!”

“Yikes, this is awkward.”

“Morning.”

“What time is it?”

“Don’t you have work?”

“Don’t you have class?”

“Hungry?” 

“What the fuck is that?”

“Don’t you have somewhere to be? That isn’t here?”

“Who are you?”

“Is now a bad time to ask your name?”

“Did we at least use a condom?”

“That’s kind of something you’re suppose to tell someone before you have sex with them.”

“Can you uncuff me?” 

“I think we’re snowed in.”

“That’s not usually how this goes.”

“You talk a lot in your sleep.”

“Is that chocolate?”

“I didn’t snore, did I?”

“Don’t forget this. I don’t need a memento.”

“So… I have something to tell you.”

“Round two?”

'I believe that everything happens for a reason.' – for Nancy Wheeler !

          nancy  thinks  back  over  the  years  to  everything  that’s  happened.  she  futzes  with  her  hands,  the  tips  of  her  manicured  nails  leaving  crescent  shaped  marks  in  their  wake  as  she  flexes  her  fingers.  thinking  back  on  the  trauma  she  and  the  others  had  endured  always  spiked  her  anxiety,  despite  her  attempts  to  shove  it  down,  not  think  about  it,  and  move  on.

          however,  she  thinks  about  will  going  missing,  barb  dying,  no  one  believing  a  word  she  says,  the  slut-shaming,  being  looked  down  upon  by  her  bosses,  and  the  gaslighting  from  those  around  her.  the  lying,  the  danger,  all  the  scars  that  came  with  it…  did  it  all  happen  for  a  reason ?  why  was  it  that  she  had  to  go  through  all  of  that  bullshit ?  why  did  it  have  to  happen  in  the  first  place ?  sure,  it’s  succeeded  in  making  her  a  stronger  person,  but  at  what  cost ?

          for  what  reason  had  her  teenage  girl  years  been  snatched  away  from  her ?  she  couldn’t  think  of  one.

“ must  be  nice  to  be  able  to  believe  that, ”  she  replies  in  a  mumble,  not  meeting  his  gaze.  “ i  wish  i  could  believe  it,  too. ”
