OPEN.

“i need you to not freak out when i open this door.” words aren’t likely to calm their thoughts, clay locking himself in a bathroom for hours only to finally say that probably makes things seem worse than they are. but it’s not that bad, not really. he just wants a fresh start. leaving liberty high, leaving the chaos that was that part of his life behind, it made him want more of a change. it made him crave being different somehow. and apparently this was the idea he came up with. slowly but surely he opens the door, steps out with a look on his face that says he’s not sure how he feels about it. and his reason for asking them not to freak out? well, he may have played around with his hair a bit. may have bleached it. may have dyed it bright blue. impulsive? yes, absolutely. but now here he is, standing there with bright blue hair, nervously awaiting their reaction.

@boundedbygrief     ,     continued.

his words make her heart beat harder on her chest,   worry flicking on her features quickly.   fingertips tap against the door,   exhaling a soft breath.   elena was trying to keep her calm.   ❝   okay,   yeah,   i won’t.   just open the door,   please.   ❞   seeing the doorknob twist,   she stepped back,   surprise becoming evident on her features.   lips part to speak and yet,   no words leave her lips.   ❝   wow.   that’s   …   wow.   ❞

he tries to work out what the look on her face means,   though besides surprised he can’t really work it out.   lack of words doesn’t help,   slight worry growing on his features.   a moments pause is taken before hand reaches up to run through freshly dyed locks.   ��   you hate it,   don’t you?   ❞   maybe a dramatic response,   but he’s always been a bit of a dramatic guy.

❛ where else would i have been? ❜   words surprisingly soft,   unable to get much emotion other than sadness out at the sight of justin.   the two may have had their issues over the years,   quite a few of them in fact,   but they’d ended up brothers.   they weren’t just brothers because a piece of paper said they were,   but they were REALLY BROTHERS.   to gain a brother & then lose him so quickly,   it had been earth shattering to clay.   mental health may have been slowly getting better,   but losing justin had immediately regressed all progress.   clay hadn’t let on just how far back his progress had gone,   but anyone truly paying attention would be able to tell that things were bad.   though,   really,   seeing ghosts wasn’t anything new to clay.   it wasn’t his mental health getting worse so much as it was just continuing on the same path as it had already been heading down.     ❛ & i think you being here makes it pretty obvious you’re NOT DEAD to me. ❜
