@lifemessager CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT DYING

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

that's one way to say good morning.

[𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓 @lifemessager]

SO MANY

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

/ goodness i need a better layout 😩

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

( he gently tossed the house keys onto a small tray by the door. those small habits made him feel a bit more sane...details. )

i can recommend a few better hotels. cheaper....i used to work with the owner. a few years back.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

( her breath leaves her in a sharp exhale when she steps over the threshold. the energy, the memories — this is all a lot. she almost feels sick. )

yes. i’m staying for the foreseeable future.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

( he pushed the doors opened. some boxes stayed unpacked, rolled up newspapers scattered all over the floor. he needed a moment to clean this place up before they fully move back in.)

you’re staying? in maybrook, i mean.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

m-mhm.

( she’s biting her lip. she can’t appear weak, not now, not anymore. )

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

( oh he could understand that. more than anyone probably.)

want to come in for some coffee?

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

i-i don’t know if i’m ready to unpack it all, yet.

( she looks like she might cry. )

it’s been a lot.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

which is? i am sorry for being so curious. i just…know people have their theories.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

… more than i ever bargained for.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

nine. had his birthday last march. he’s a bright kid, already making college plans.

( stephen tried to joke. what else could he even talk to her about? this was bad.)

so you’re the older sister? i had to say i was surprised when you called.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐚unt 𝐠ladys.ᐟ @breakssticks]

rest is the best thing for me.

( she’s quiet for a while, watching the world go by. plans have to be made, and quickly. )

how old is alex now?

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

what did you find already?

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

i-it’s alright. i may need a break from all of this, i’m finding.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

( he puts the car in gear, pulling away from the airport parking lot. what would he give to be back home now…)

we prepared a room. it’s nothing fancy but it has it’s own bathroom. it should be enough. let you rest.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐚unt 𝐠ladys.ᐟ @breakssticks]

( she’s * very uneasy getting in the car. his words give pause to the thoughts overwhelming her - she can’t see a doctor. hospitals can’t help, not in this situation. )

it’s— unlikely i’ll survive the year.

( a lie. she will survive, she KNOWS it. )

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

* reports theft *

[𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘏𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘩 @LSTKITTN]

He's humming to himself.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

i am keeping this simple.

(he said through gritted teeth. this drive was going to be long. he knew that for sure. reluctantly he motioned her inside of the car.)

what are the doctor’s saying?

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐚unt 𝐠ladys.ᐟ @breakssticks]

then don’t upset her. keep this simple.

( there’s a venom to gladys, today - internally it’s a desperation to survive, but it materializes as a near-hiss to her tone. )

don’t make things difficult.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

did someone die?

[𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓 @lifemessager]

or mourning

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

i just don’t want her to be upset. so can we make this as simple for all of us. alex included.

( stephen adjusted his jumper, cold wind brushing against them. he didn’t mean to sound threatening but his voice lost it’s warmth.)

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐚unt 𝐠ladys.ᐟ @breakssticks]

( a tilt of her frail head is an ominous gesture. she’s quiet for a long moment, taking inventory of stephen’s expression, the tone in his voice. when she speaks again, she’s quiet. )

i’m sick, stephen. you and i both know i don’t have long. can’t i be around family during —

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

you’re not the only one. i…can’t say i can help you with that.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

i just want to— understand things, is all.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

thought the case was closed. you won’t make people happy if you start asking questions.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

i’m a private investigator, if we’re being technical.

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

you’re not one of those reporters though? it’s been a lot of those around here recently.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

just— passing through.

( is it true? maybe. )

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

morning. well, too early to tell whether it will be a good one.

[𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓 @lifemessager]

morning

[—𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐈’𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄.ᐟ @RECKLESSFATHER]

it’s a rare thing to see a new face around here. why maybrook?

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐭aylor 𝐟itzgerald.ᐟ @dreamssmeared]

it’s— definitely something here. the motel i’m in isn’t too shabby, at least.
