Melody was relieved, worried that he wouldnโt be too excited about her going off to university. She hugged him back, super excited!
โThanks, Dad!โ
You /did/?!
*they didn't speak about it, but he saw the application. He beamed just as brightly, hugging her again in excitement*
That's awesome! You're gonna be the best damn magician they've ever had in there!
โ.. I got accepted by Brakebills University.โ
She wasnโt sure if he remembered she had even been trying for them. Her smile beamed. She was so excited to tell him, but worried that might not be good news to him..
โI donโt start classes until next semester, in the Spring.โ
*Those tears broke his heart. Those tears were his fault. He gently brushed her hair aside and kissed her forehead*
It took a long time to get everything under control. Sudden regime changes are brutal.. But I think it's going to be ok now. You can even come with me to work now~
แตแต แตแตแต
She bit her tongue, keeping that first thought to herself.
โYouโre back now, thatโs all that matters.โ
Mel pulled back just enough to give him a kiss on the cheek, and then pulled back to show a teary-eyed smile.
*He was tearing up as well, holding her as tight as he could without crushing her. It had been too long*
I missed you sweetheart. It's so good to see you again.
She was mid-pillow-fluff when she heard the bedroom door open. Nothing mattered in that moment besides the face that came through the door.
โDad!โ
Melody dropped the pillow and ran over to her father, hugging him tightly and hiding the tears that inevitably welled up.
*He was so excited. Things were /finally/ in order in Death's domain. Gideon was a big help, and he had prospects lined up for even more help. It couldn't all be on his shoulders, he had to surround himself with people he could trust. And trust took time. None of that mattered~
comfortable sleeping in her own bed lately.
He would more than likely find her in his own room. She spent the next few hours tidying up his room, changing the sheets, and making the bed.
Her dad was finally coming home again.. but what did it cost her? Would he know..?
A wave of mixed emotions hit her with the chime of her phone. She knew it was a message butโ Dad?!
She was instantly happy to hear from him, but guilt hit her harder.
โ See you soon, love you Pops! Welcome home โ
When he does come home, the house would look pretty spotless. +
So spotless, it was almost as if no one had been there for a while. However, Melodyโs room was a bit of a disaster. Clothes all over the floor, papers all over her desk, started projects across a few different tables, and blankets strewn all over her bed. She hasnโt been quite +
โช I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
And I saw something they can't take away
'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take โซ
@FieryHxpe โซ So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid
You're on your own, kid
Yeah, you can face this โฌ
โซ I have this thing where I get older, just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people Iโve ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices โช
โซ I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (I've realized all this time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
For the last time โฉ
