[hyukakisses]

-emo beomgyu as your jealous bestfriend to boyfriend!

parings: beomgyu x fem reader

plot: heavily inspired by eli goldsworthy’s manic episode in degrassi, (and very old post i had up on my old account)

warnings: cursing, mentally ill/lovesick oreo gyu, sweet reader who’s a pushover, smut, jealous gyu, bestfriend to lover troupe, beomgyu is a bit toxic, beomgyu corrupts reader, reader is also mentally ill with a low self esteem if you squint, sub reader & dom gyu

“so how do i look?” you’d spin in your outfit you had planned out for the night, making beomgyu’s head shot up from the manga he was reading titled nana

beomgyu’s breath hitches at the back of his throat. “you look pretty really pretty” his big brown eyes trail up and down your frame. “why are you wearing black though? i mean it looks good don’t get me wrong but it’s just so not you”

you’d roll your eyes playfully at his comment, internally squealing at how beomgyu knew you so well. “i know this is going to sound so dumb but the guy i’m going on a date with only really likes goth girls”

beomgyu’s heart dropped to the pit of his stomach at your admission, you’re going out on a date? with a guy? a guy who wasn’t him?

“a date with a guy who doesn’t even like who you are? seriously y/n?” beomgyu did knew you had low self esteem but he didn’t know it was this low—

you’d frown at the blunt response, “i know i know i sound so pathetic but if i don’t mirror the people i like then how can i ever get them to like me?”

the scowl on beomgyu’s face falls, his eyes softening with pity at your words. how could you not see that he was in love with you? the emo boy would literally die for you — no scratch that beomgyu would kill bare hand slaughter anyone who even thought about you in a negative light yet you’re seriously convinced you couldn’t pull anyone with your personality alone?

beomgyu was about to speak up until your phone rings, a message from the mystery man that was outside your house waiting to escort you to a date and this made the manic emo boy’s blood boil

how dare he takes you away from him? how was that fair?

beomgyu groans loudly after waving you goodbye, waiting patiently on your soft fluffy bed resisting the urge to spam your phone with hundreds of messages and phone calls. hating how you chose some stranger over him

was he not good enough? did the black attire scare you off?

the feeling of impulsiveness rushes through beomgyu’s already wrecked headspace, grabbing his cellphone in a hurry. not being able to stop himself from double— no triple texting you in a row.

miss you >:( 8:10 pm

are you having that much fun without me? it’s been two minutes and you haven’t respond telling me how much you miss me too 8:12 pm

i really miss you 8:13 pm

beomgyu let’s out a sigh in frustration, contemplating on the back and forth idea of taking out his anger on your sanrio plushies but he breathes in excitement at the sound of his phone going off.

noooo im not having that much fun without you! i miss you too! 8:13 pm

>:( i hate when you leave me all alone you know 8:13 pm

im sorry ): i’ll make it up to you kay? stay up for me! mwah :3 8:14 pm

MWAH ^_^ <3!! 8:14 pm

WOAH WE KISSED! <3 >:D 8:14 pm

a little bit over a month passes since your night out, and you were currently sobbing on beomgyu’s shoulder. “i-i don’t know what happened i thought everything was going so well but he completely ghosted me when i bought up not wanting anything casual!”

“what’s wrong with me beomgyu? why doesn’t anyone seem to like me after the honeymoon phase? am i that terrible?” you went on a ramble squeezing onto your bestfriend for dear life.

beomgyu couldn’t ignore the slight pang of guilt in his chest as he held you in his arms, knowing how much it would kill you if you found out the reason why you can’t keep a relationship to save your life was because of him. beomgyu’s overbearing clinginess being a huge turn off to any guy you were talking to.

and since you were super trusting of your friend you never really saw how beomgyu was responsible for your bad luck in dating. this cycle resulting in your low self esteem eventually, often leaving yourself to do a lot of self blaming. wondering, going back and forth with your yourself on why things with literally anyone who showed you any romantic interest always went to shit

am i not pretty enough? am i that boring?

“hey hey so what if the guy doesn’t want to take things to the next level with you? the guys a total loser anyway did you see how beat his car was? you’re telling me you want to settle for someone who’s broke?” beomgyu chuckles trying to use humor to lighten up your pitiful mood

you’d sniffle, “b-but did you see the way he looked at me? it felt nice to be liked and not lusted for” and this made beomgyu chuckle to himself, lazily stroking your hair in an attempt to console you.

if only you knew how much beomgyu liked you— no loved you

“and i’m sure there’s ton of guys out there who will like you instead of lusting over you baby” beomgyu grins looking down at your face was buried in his scrawny chest

“r-really?” your head shoots up from the emo boy’s warm embrace, your eyes glimmering hopeful “you really think so gyu? you think anyone could love me?” you always craved beomgyu’s validation and reassurance

another thing you longed for was beomgyu liking you back, but he’s beomgyu and you’re well you’re you—

beomgyu laughs at your cute question, shaking his head causing his shaggy hair to bounce off his head. “are you kidding? of course i think anyone could love you and if they don’t then they’re a total dumbass”

what beomgyu really wanted to say was how he loved you, but the idea of someone as sweet as you dating a total mess of a man like him made the oreo haired boy feel sorry for you

you’d let out a wince, at the feeling of your bestfriend above you stretching out your pink gummy insides. clinging onto the males shoulder blades for dear life. “beomgyu c-can you be more gentle?”

beomgyu softens his blissed out gaze on you, basking in at how tiny you look compared to him and how pretty you looked laid on your back. you reminded the man of a princess.

beomgyu whimpers a nod at your words, his pace slowing down to a gentle rhythm. leaning down to close the gap between you both pulling your soft lips into a sweet kiss savoring the way you tasted like strawberry lip balm.

“does that feel better princess? im not hurting you too much now right?” beomgyu bangs flopped down his eyes making you giggle at the action

“n-no it’s not hurting anymore i feel really good..” you moan sweetly, loving at how beomgyu was checking up on you. “thank you for making sure my first time was with someone who loves me even if it was just in a friend way” you’d smile up at the emo boy bringing him down to your face for a hug

beomgyu mentally face palms, stuffing his face in the crook of your neck. the oreo haired boy drowning into your strawberry pound cake scent, wanting to scream at you in frustration. what kind of virgin takes another virgin’s virginity just because they loved them as a friend? are you really that fucking dumb?

a few weeks by and you had another date with another mystery man, and beomgyu was not happy.

after all the comforting words he told you how could you not see that he was in love with you? how could you possibly throw yourself at any guy who paid you attention?

beomgyu was tired of being nice and patient with you, and without thinking he immediately gets in his car to blow off some steam. imagining the hands belonging to your date dragging its way to your figure, cringing at the idea of you underneath another man cumming around his cock and such

beomgyu was so lost in the idea of you abandoning him for this new guy he didn’t realize he was driving straight into a tree, his eyes widening before the world around him went dark

“you came” beomgyu weakly smiles waking up as he senses you grabbing onto his hand

you’d sniffle back a few tears, seeing your bestfriend in such horrible condition and this made you feel very guilty. maybe if you were at home with beomgyu he wouldn’t have felt so bored at the house and he wouldn’t have gotten into his car resulting in his accident

“of course i came, i came as soon as i heard” fat tears fall down your face in relief when you examine beomgyu’s cuts face and saw that his cute weren’t severe. but the mere thought of beomgyu leaving you was too much

“im so sorry i should have never went out tonight— i should have just stayed indoors with you playing that stupid video game you like what what was it?” you cried trying to remember

“dead by daylight” beomgyu laughs at your crying state

“yes that! i’ve been so self absorbed i didn’t stop and realize that you need to come first im really sorry beomgyu” you’d rabble going into a fit of sobs, blaming yourself over and over again for this happening

“it’s okay seriously i just have a few cuts that’s all” beomgyu assures you, showing off the bandages around his body

“i know but i still feel so guilty..”

“don’t be”

you’d wipe your tears away with a dry laugh, “i don’t even know why i continue to go onto these dates when it’s you i want to be with” you’d admit blushing profoundly

“you what?”

“im sorry terrible timing i know but i almost lost you tonight so i might as well come clean” you’d laugh more genuine this time

“i like you too”

“you what?”

“you heard me, just shut up and help me home will you?”

[boricuacherry-blog]

Absolutely no disrespect meant, I’m surprised this blog is still active. It’s such a time capsule of things that unfortunately aged poorly. I miss the hype around early 2010s Rihanna (she didn’t age poorly tho), and back in the day I loved seeing her and Drake interact, rock each others merch, collab, etc. I was also such a hoe for YMCMB, OVO, and OVOXO. I really loved Drake sm rewatching Degrassi I’m so disappointed in how things turned out (the Kendrick beef and everything that’s been exposed)

Lol this blog is only like a year old. I just like and blog old stuff/older news. I guess that's a compliment tho cause it feels nostalgic if you think I'm an old blog. I remember really enjoying watching her music videos back in 2010/11 very visually creative and just idk she was just a very visual artist. But that was the height of avante garde pop being ushered in, around the time Lady Gaga popped up in the industry. And I liked Degrassi too. Also that was around when Tumblr started so it's interesting to go dig back in old blogs and find stuff from that time.

[someotherdog]

for / @seolinah participants / mary esther & your choice of muse, as long as they're the type to work at a psychic shop! story / based off of here; our muses work at a psychic shop, where mary esther views it as just another con in her long list of cons, and she gives phony fortunes all the time (she's got a flair for the dramatic). your muse can be the one that actually believes in their gift or they can be another grifter, we don't have to stick to the plot wholesale! setting / the psychic shop where they work! let's call it... miss rudy abilene's house of fortunes.

mary esther propped her feet on the table where the employees of miss rudy abilene's did their tarot readings. of course, it was another slow day in the shop; only weirdos and desperate people came to see a psychic, and they usually didn't want mary esther to give dole out fortunes when they eventually realized she was just copying storylines on general hospital or old episodes of degrassi. the only reason she hadn't been fired was miss rudy abilene's refusal to cover shifts until mary esther's vacant position would be filled. that, and miss rudy abilene said she saw real potential in mary's lifeline when she read her palm during the initial job interview. "yeah, okay, maybe i shouldn't have told her that her daughter was going to meet a man in a yellow raincoat that would show her a world she had never dreamed of before. was i supposed to know she'd chase down any man she saw in a raincoat, not even ones that were yellow, and ask them if they'd be willing to take her daughter on a date?" mary scoffed, rolling her eyes. "my psychic told me it would happen clearly wasn't a good defense in the police's eyes. that's on her for being so dumb to believe me."

[degrassi-fandom-confessions]

I'm only just now getting around to binge-watching Next Generation, and I'm on season 9, and so far, I simply do not care about the newer group of students at Degrassi like Clare or Holly J or any of them. I miss the old crew like Jimmy, Ash, Craig, Paige, Sean, etc. I get that it's focused on the high school and the old characters had to graduate and everything, but I'm having a hard time adjusting to this new cast of characters. I'm not sure if I even want to keep watching at this point.

[zayadriancas]

Seeing these old screencaps from Degrassi is very trippy. How can pics of Zoe be 9 years old already? Jeez. Time flew!

I know right! It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago but even their graduation was 7 years ago now as well as the end of Degrassi :( it feels like it just happened. I miss them so much! Hence the post spam lol 😂

[spinelli-gemelli]

A Degrassi Essay About Rick Murray

(Part 2)

"We have to do something."

It's difficult to continue this story without discussing the one-and-only Emma Nelson's role in Rick's return. Most fans find her intervention in this plot line quite irritating, wondering what would motivate her to suddenly interact with the upperclassmen. If we refer back to episode 4x03, we would recall that her current classmates have unofficially stopped talking to her because of how she felt about her ex-boyfriend, Chris, showing interest in Liberty Van Zandt. Her lines in that episode have become infamous. "What are people gonna think of me if Chris goes out with Liberty next?" Manny Santos, Emma's BFF, who was first on board the "Emma and Chris reunite" train, was taken aback by Emma's...well, let's call it condescension. Anyway, word gets back to Liberty, and, to quote her words, Emma is "dead to [her]." Since Manny and JT are dating, and since Toby is friends with J.T. (though not for very long here: more on that later), that leaves Emma completely friendless in time for this season's festivities. I doubt that the boys of the friend group care about the ladies' petty squabbles about the Chris ordeal, but since J.T.'s girlfriend is friends with Liberty, and they all hang out, it would just be awkward for them to include Emma in any of their social engagements at this time.

Now that we've established her social status, let's get back to Emma's involvement in the return of Rick Murray. Miss Nelson quickly learns from Paige and Spinner about who he is and what he's done and ceases the perfect opportunity to flex her cause girl muscles. I'll give her credit where it's due: she's bold, driven, committed, and smart. She may have let the glow up get to her head, and so what if she thinks that she's better than Liberty. At least she didn't put a classmate in a coma! She actually is better than this guy. She takes it upon herself to do whatever it takes to get this abuser out of her school. Of course, it's wrong to hurt others, but if she were successful with this mission, she would win the approval of Paige and her clique. What could be cooler than that? Definitely not Liberty's hot tub!

Collaborating with Paige and Marco, Emma manages to organize a ribbon campaign at school that is against domestic violence on the surface, though truly, it is an anti-Rick campaign. Somehow harassing a student in school, regardless of what he did before, is not considered breaking the rules. "We wanna pressure Rick. Make his life hell," Emma would go on to explain to Sean Cameron after he asks about her true motives behind launching this crusade. Either Emma doesn't know what the word "pressure" means, or she didn't foresee how the students of Degrassi would interpret the word. The campaign combined with Paige's popularity status means that everyone knows Rick, hates him, and wants nothing to do with him. Now, because of Emma, Rick's identity is out, and the student body feels a sense of duty to make this guy suffer the consequences of his actions. It's not like the principal was going to do anything about it anyway (more on that later).

The fact that this happened is both good and bad. On one hand, Rick was reminded of the simple fact that his actions have consequences. Everywhere he went, he was greeted with hostility. Going back to my argument in part 1, here at Degrassi, he wouldn't be granted the luxury to slip back into his old, abusive behaviours. While I believe that Rick was sincerely repentant this time around, it wasn't enough for him to just want to "bury the hatchet" with Paige et al. He made a student suffer because of his unchecked rage and almost killed her. Wanting to change is a good starting point, but he had to prove to everyone that he was different from last year, and students had no reason to believe that he was. Degrassi's opposition to his presence was a reminder that what he did couldn't be swept under the rug and forgotten about. He didn't just hurt Terri; he wounded her community as well.

On the other hand, getting the entire student body involved was a bit extreme, as not everyone knew Terri or even cared about her. Students like Jay Hogart were simply tormenting Rick for their own amusement. Jay loved to wreak havoc, and Rick was an easy target. No one was going to go out of their way to defend the guy, so why not have some fun? Treating Rick poorly on school grounds is one thing, but to heckle him at the Dot? Sure, it's a popular hang out spot for Degrassians, but they don't own the establishment, and Rick should be free to dine wherever he wishes. It's not like he's causing any trouble by ordering a cup of coffee. After Rick got jumped by Jay behind the Dot, Emma realized that her crusade had gone too far, and stopped the students from attacking him before he became severely injured.

Emma's involvement in Rick's plot, though it initially seemed to come out of left field, was necessary in order for Rick to see the error of his ways and to know what it felt like to be physically assaulted. After considering the events that happened to Emma in "King of Pain", the episode that preceded "Mercy Street", it makes perfect sense that she would take up a new cause at Degrassi in an attempt to be accepted and appreciated by a new group of friends. When fans look back at Rick's story, they usually view these episodes in a vacuum, forgetting about the buildup that came before the episode of Rick's return, and as a result, they are confused and annoyed about Emma's seemingly sudden involvement.

While Emma might not have meant for her campaign to take such a violent turn, I think after episode 4x04, Rick understood that he had to work extra hard in order to earn the rapport and acceptance of his classmates. He is sadly mistaken, however, that they are interested in his change of heart to begin with. Ironically, at the end of this episode, both Rick and Emma are social outcasts: Rick for putting Terri in a coma, and Emma for publicly defending him. Both were seeking approval from their peers, and neither of them received it in the end. In a sense, they are both on the same side against the student body.

[spaceshipsandpurpledrank]

I think it is time for me to bring this discussion back up because it's very relevant.

Every major artist on Young Money Cash Money has been a predator or a victim or both.

Tyga: was allegedly having sex with a 14 year old Kylie (at kendalls sweet 16, which he performed at) while he was 22.

Drake: We've all seen his "at best" questionable behavior, but i also believe he is a victim grooming, specifically while on degrassi, a lot of his older interviews hint at this plus his obsession with older women in his earlier music.

Nicki: We've seen Miss Captain save a pedo in real time, but i have to believe this also comes from being groomed as well. Her staunch defense of the broken men in her life has to be because if she condemns them, she has to take a hard look at EVERY MAN who was ever in her life.

Wayne: There is a literal interview where birdman talks about locking wayne in a room with a prostitute when he was either 11 or 13 until he came out, "a man." Nuff said. And while he hasn't (in any instance I've heard of) perpetuated these behaviors himself, i have to believe his drug addiction is a side effect of the unresolved trauma.

Tuesday, June 20th: Growing Pains

When we were in the 7th grade, my friend Kate broke her ankle playing soccer. Everyone was thrilled. Not in a malicious way, it’s just that when you’re a kid, sprains and bruises have a certain cache to them. It was a badge of honor, a war wound for playing your heart out in intramural soccer. Plus you knew it would heal and everybody wanted to sign your cast. 

A gaggle of us went over to Kate’s the afternoon and I remember her propped up on her living room couch with Degrassi on (the episode where Jimmy (AKA Drake) can’t get a hard-on). She was holding court but somewhat sour-faced about the whole thing. Her mom called from the kitchen, “Kate’s can’t sit still and hates missing soccer, so this injury is going to be a nightmare until it gets better.”

Sipping my Izze, I remember right then vividly wishing I could trade places with her on the couch. What wasn’t there to envy? I loved attention and Canadian teen drama. I also hated moving around and soccer at any level. Pre-pubescent and already mid-depression, there was an exhaustion to battle even when everyone else seemed to want to rollerblade all of the time. 

15 years later I have a strained hamstring and all I want to do is being able to run and do yoga again. My joints haven’t been run down by collegiate sports, my abs are strong but feminine, and I’m making progress. For once I don’t want to have to rely on the fact that I’m naturally thin. It’s the mental health and the self-esteem that comes from wobbling on a mat or getting hit on while I jog that has slowly become something I should do, to something I have to do, to something I get to do and be. 

An athletic person. With a really sore butt. 

Just like 12-year-old Kate I want to move around. To keep going. I applied to 7 jobs because I still haven’t got an update from Nowadays, I combed through my standup last night and wrote about my mental health as a home, I unloaded the dishwasher while watching Love Island because I don’t just want to fucking sit there in a middle of a day this blue. 

IN THE MIDDLE OF DAY THIS BLUE. I’VE BECOME MY FUCKING FATHER. 

I got botox with nurse Brit, enjoyed a lavender latte, gassed up the BMW, laundry, cashed a check, and intend to cook something delicious tonight (TBD). The warm June air blew on my face as MGMT poured out the radio in the car.

My war injuries, of me against stagnation, are oddly still a point of pride.

I miss old degrassi I just watched a season 8 episode that finishes with a character saying as the LAST LINE [to a cis girl]: “You ever have ball cancer? I did. So if I can get through all that, you can get through this.” A+ writing

How many times have I watched Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2 in my life(way too much) and you’re telling me I never realized that Bianca from Degrassi was a dancer at Camp Star?? This movie has literally been out since I was nine years old and I’m now twenty-one and I have been watching Degrassi since I was a kid with my older siblings, I grew up with the era of Clare, Eli, Drew, Biance, and Adam how the heck did I miss her all these years??

Jarome | Fate and Felicity | Past Paragraph

And in other news, the local Walmart’s latest- Patrick, your genius is showing.. -All for nineteen ninety-nine!

“Wait, go back!” An 8-year-old Jarome whined, watching the television flicker off and be recolored with a new scene. He wanted to watch Spongebob, but Degrassi was on and that was Felicity’s favorite show. “Felicity! Go baaaack!” Jarome cried as pitifully as he could, hoping Mom or Dad would intervene and tell Felicity to change the channel back to Nickelodeon. “No, Jarome.” she hissed powerfully, still flipping channels, “The new season of Degrassi starts tonight and I am not missing it!”

Jarome crossed both his arms harshly across his chest, sunk into the couch and scowled until his cheeks ached. “I hate you.” he muttered through clenched teeth, a common utterance at this age, one that had become only more popular with the news that the Blakely family would have a new addition in 3 short months. Mom was pregnant. Jarome couldn’t imagine how much everyone would ignore him once their new baby brother or sister was born… he already came in second on everything with one sibling as it was.

“Mooom!” Felicity called out, her thumb still jamming over the button on the remote, “Jarome’s saying mean things to me again!” His face instantly changed at the fear of being scolded by his mother, but it soon turned back to bitterness when he hollered, “Felicity’s hogging the TV and being unfair!” To this Felicity responded, “I am not!” Mom, of course, sided with Felicity and told Jarome that once Degrassi was over Jarome could have the TV for the rest of the night. Jarome got up and sulked up to his bedroom to wait out the hour-long event.

In the kitchen, Jarome’s mother hummed an old song by Journey as she fried pancake batter in a buttered pan on the stove. She had just flipped a pancake over to reveal a fluffy, golden brown underbelly when the fire alarm chirped its shrill warning from out in the hallway. Mrs. Blakely sighed.

The noise could be heard from upstairs, but Jarome wasn’t worried by it. He was too irked at his dumb big sister to get himself worked up over the shrill chirping. He had enough life experience to understand that the fire alarm would go off rarely and of those rare occasions, there was almost never a fire. Folding his pillow over his head so it wrapped around like a taco shell, he held an opened palm over one side to keep the pillow in place. “Stupid sisters, stupid parents, stupid TV…” he grumbled absent-mindedly.

Placing a cool, wet cloth over the fire alarm in the hallway caused the chirping to cease. Mrs. Blakely smiled to herself and rubbed her budding belly gently. Holding the lower of her back, she eased herself down from a chair she’d borrowed from her own dining room and began to drag the antique piece back to its set in a room at the end of the hall. A shriek split through the air followed by a whoosh, now grayed out with thick smoke. Felicity stared into the blinding light of wild flames licking away at the kitchen cabinets.

“Felicity!” Mrs. Blakely demanded in a panicked tone as she found her daughter, standing opposite her at the other end of the hallway. Felicity stood facing the open doorway to the kitchen, being swallowed by thick, graying smoke, with her arms covering her face to guard against the heat. “Felicity! Get away from there!” Her mother cried, desperately striding up the hall to shield her child from the explosion that she knew was inevitable. The poor pregnant woman was a few feet away when the explosion thrust the little girl back into the living room, and she collided with her pregnant mother, knocking them both to the ground.

Hearing a ruckus that Jarome could not fathom, he roused himself out of bed and gingerly made his way to the bedroom door, still angry. He didn’t want to go back down stairs in his sour mood but found himself worrying too much not to go down stairs. So he unlocked his bedroom door and stepped out onto the indoor balcony, underfoot was the living room now clouded with smoke and blaring painfully with heat.

“Mom?! Felicity?!” Jarome cried out, racing awkwardly across the balcony to the staircase which wound down into the living room. Jarome was nearly blinded once he reached the foot of the stairs and began choking from the smoke. “Felicity?” he croaked, seeing a hunched over figure by the couch. He willed his feet to move forward, into the breathless hell. He could hear a commercial playing to his left and swiped about with his hand until he found the television. Dragging his fingers to the corner of the box, he shut it off and asked again, tears in his stinging eyes, “Felicity?”

Huddled over the limp body, a weeping woman cradled and caressed the lifeless figure, praying to a God who’d put her on hold. “Wake up, baby, wake up!” Mrs. Blakely’s voice shook violently but she never stopped spilling out words of desperate encouragement. Jarome got closer, and closer, but could not find the courage to speak… he reached out a silenced hand, pleading for his mother to turn her attention to him instead of…

Run, little brother. Jarome’s breath flooded from his mouth instantly at the sound, he had been raised up into the air and was spun around by an unseen force, he searched for the voice. It had come from behind and was unmistakably Felicity’s. The voice began to speak again but was drowned out by a coughing fit, Jarome’s eyes sunk into sorrow as he spun back around, suddenly feeling the warm floor beneath his feet. He’d made himself dizzy in the process, his lungs were shriveling up inside his chest. He looked at his mother’s face, she laid down next to her daughter, their soot-covered faces an inch from the ground as the pair wheezed and convulsed. “Mommy.” he cried, sputtering. Every time he sucked in a breath to cry for his family’s pain he choked harder on the black smoke.

Run, little brother! commanded the voice of Felicity, despite her body still lying limp. Jarome cried something incoherent and rushed, stumbling and clumsy, to the back door where the fire had not yet spread. He rammed his own body into the back door before stopping to grip the doorknob and twist. His face was pressed up against the glass, dusted over in smoke somehow and he saw the blurry reflection of his sister but dared not look behind him. He spun the knob as hard as he could and forced himself out of the house.Smoke leaked out in his wake, another explosion sent his small body flying across the backyard when Jarome first learned to throw a football. Blood was dripping down his upper lip from his left nostril and copper filled the space between his teeth. He saw Felicity once more, but faded away and pale like a ghostly spirit. You’re safe now, little brother. She, it, whatever it was… smiled and dissipated. Jarome only didn’t cry because he could not do so without bringing upon himself another coughing fit. Sirens. Important men announcing important things. He stumbled in a daze for a while, shuffling the long way around to the front of the house until his own eyes met with that of another man, a firefighter, here to help… he collapsed.
