Suffering from Once withdrawal during winter break. Medium length chapter.
Warning, minor spoiler from 6x10.
My favorite scenes in 6x10 are EVERY Swan Queen scenes, especially when they held hands next to the portal! I was wishing for them to make out and break the "curse/wish". Aladdin and the Queen's interactions were pretty funny too. In case you still don't know, I also ship all of SwanQueen TinkerQueen and DragonQueen. Everything Queen.
I heard someone inserting a key in my doorknob and they opened the door.
"Millie, are you home?" It was Tinkerbell, but there was more than one person.
I heard footsteps walking towards me. They turned on the light.
"Ha, I knew you were home!" The other person was Lily.
"Get up!" Tinkerbell took away the quilt that was covering my head.
"I am depressed," I turned away from the two.
"Well, get over it! How long have you met the Queen? Two days?" Lily asked, "You shouldn't still be weeping for her. Besides, she got turned to a snake. She is not dead."
It was not just the Queen. I was in a very dark place. It was not easy for me to take in my life story, but Lily's life was tragic enough that I didn't want to add to her burden.
"Stop yelling, you guys are so loud," I whined, "You are making my head hurt."
Lily looked at the sleeping potion bottle next to my bed, "Oh god, are you abusing drugs again? I am going to tell my mother to cut you off!" She picked up the bottle and poured it down the drain.
"How dare you?" I sat up from the bed, "Good that your mom already taught me how to make the sleeping potion."
"You have missed work for a whole week!" Tinkerbell said, "Do you want to get fired?"
"Don't you get it? I don't care about work. Nothing matters to me anymore," I pinched the bridge of my nose, "Just let me self medicate. It's not like I will get overdosed or anything. Just let me get high and sleep."
"If it will make you feel better, you can feed off from me or Tinkerbell," Lily proposed.
"It won't help. I am an addict and I am hooked on the Queen's blood. Everything else tastes like nothing now," I wrapped my arms around my knees, "Just let me sleep. Dig a hole and bury me in a coffin."
"No, you can't behave like this. I understand you. I was in a very dark place when I lost my wings," Tinkerbell sat down on the bed next to me and put her hand on my shoulder, "All you need are friends who listen to you and support you."
"Give me time," I glazed into Tinkerbell's eyes, "I missed the Queen. I really like her and I can't believe she is gone before I even get to know her. I blame that we were not strong-hearted enough to stop her. We shouldn't have let her go that night."
"How much time do you need? I miss you already," Tinkerbell rubbed my shoulder.
"It took me a hundred fifty years to get over Laura and I had been with her for two months. Just give me five years," I did the math in my brain.
"That's too long," Lily grabbed the one of the paintings of the Queen. I had painted around ten paintings of the Queen so far, "Get out of bed or I will set this on fire."
"I dare you to!" She took the dare and burn a hole in the painting, "I don't like that one anyway. I hope your mother is proud of you." I lied. That was one of my worse ones, but it was still a decent piece of art.
Lily rolled her eyes, "Let's go Tinkerbell. There is no hope for her."
"No. I will never give you up, I will never let you down and I will never run around and desert you," Tinkerbell said.
"Are you trying to Rick-roll me?" I smiled for the first time in days, "Do you guys want to go steal a snake? I have always wanted a pet cobra."
"NO!" The two said in unison.
"Let's binge watch Orange is the new Black!" Tinkerbell suggested, "TV always makes me feel better."
"I have a feeling that you only stick around because I have Netflix and Hulu," I gave her a suspicious look.
"They don't have wifi or cable in the nun house," Tinkerbell gave puppy eyes.
"Ok, fine," I grabbed the television remote, "But I am picking the show. How about Stranger Things?"
"Yay!" Tinkerbell cheered. She put out her arms to welcome Lily to sit down on the bed with her.
I had a feeling that these two would not leave me alone for a long time.
