‘ .. you doing alright ? ’ hidden BEHIND denial; a false sense of strengthas the one person that matters rests in her coffin. damn’t !! he wasn’t prepared for farewell. ‘ i’m about to head out. but you need anything, you got my number, right ? college isn’t too far. i can come back. ’
IT FEELS LIKE INHALING KNIVES the loss aches like acid twisting &. twirling through her bloodstream . a pained smile / shuddering breath / heart beat beat beating out of her chest , “ hey , no need to go all ‘ big brother ‘ on me . “ it takes a few seconds , but then she shoots forward , arms wrapping around jeremy’s waist tightly , head resting on his shoulder .
“ you’ll be fine , okay ? i promise you . you ever need someone to talk too , or to help you organize a party , or gush to about a girl you met , anything at all, i’ll always be here for you . “
