" apple? " she wanted it to come out as if she was just offering from the goodness of her heart, for no specific reason. some kind of olive branch of sorts, though the two had nary a word shared between them before. they shared classes together but they didn't exactly run with the same crowds. emma wasn't popular, not in the slightest. she tried talking to the in-crowd but it never moved past her saying hello. but, eating lunch by herself, she noticed things. it was people watching or reading for her, and one thing she noticed day to day was chrissy. the fact she seemed to talk more than she noshed.

maybe it was just that it wasn't peak eating time for athletes, or something. emma was never able to really be athletic to know, but she does know the telltale signs of exhaustion and overexertion. chrissy seemed to fit the bill for most after practices. so, emma decided to break the ice between the two.

" it's not poisoned, i promise. i'm not an evil stepmother nor do i have magic powers. i do have a mean witch cackle, though. "

           “So do I get to know his name or are you going to keep smiling like an idiot at your phone every time he texts you?” There’s a smile tugging at the edges of her lips as she brings the glass in front of her to her lips.

❝   love is good until it’s gone.   ❞   ━━   @herhaunt​ sing to me instead   |   accepting   !

there is so much concern swimming in theo’s features as she watches her sister slowly fall into the darkness that is deep   ,   unending grief   ,   the death of her husband taking it’s toll on the once bright star that she grew up with. it’s amazing how such sorrow can completely change a person   ,   making one feel less hungry or even unable to do the simplest tasks like cleaning ones home or running simple errands. it’s been weeks since the whole terrible situation went down   &   nellie hasn’t exactly coped very well   (   though who would   ,   honestly   ?   ).   fuck   ,   if anything   ,   theo feels as though she’s gotten worse overtime   ,   her texts   &   phone calls becoming less frequent as days passed   ,   all optimism going out the window. obviously things won’t get better overnight   ,   these sorts of feelings take time to come to turns with   ,   but it hurts to see her sister suffer through so much pain   ,   as if they didn’t already have enough to deal with when they were growing up.

❝   i’m sure   ,   ❞   theo replies back to her sister with a simple nod   ,   covered fingers flexing beneath the tight   ,   leather fabric of her gloves. she had hoped this visit would bring nellie some form happiness   ,   but obviously a visit from one of her eldest sisters isn’t enough to ease the pain of losing the love of her life. nevertheless   ,   theo won’t stop trying to help   ━━   she won’t give up on her sister.   ❝   it sucks knowing that you lost your person. the universe does unfair shit like that all the time   ...   but you can’t let those feelings get to you   ,   nellie.   ❞   at this point   ,   theo reaches out for her sister’s hand   ,   patting it gently. god   ,   if the gloves weren’t on   ,   she can only imagine the grief she would feel   ...   ❝   arthur wouldn’t want you to dwell in this grief forever. grieving is normal   &   you have every right to do it   ,   but once you can move on   ?   things will improve   ,   i promise you. everything feels dark right now   ,   but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel   &   it’ll come with time.   ❞   a rare   ,   small smile appears across theo’s cheeks   ,   though no such emotion is mirrored back to her. be patient   ,   theo   ...   all she needs is time.   ❝   i’m   ...   really happy to be here with you   ,   you know. i think this weekend could be really fun   ...   &   who knows   ?   maybe it’ll turn into something we’ll both need in the end.   ❞
