SOL 111
Honestly, Liv should have known that this day was coming.
It was only a matter of time before her emotions got so bottled up, that they spilled over. She normally had a good hold on them, but being stuck on Mars, 45 million miles away from home had been slowly getting to her.
That morning, it hit her.
There was that chance that she would never make it home.
She would never see the green grass again.
The Blue sky.
Rain.
A sob worked its way out of her throat.
She could only allow herself to be strong for so long.
Thankfully she was alone, as Mark had left not that long ago to read some messages from NASA. So for a bit of time, she was allowed to sob in peace and quiet. Sobs escaped her, tears spilling down her face. Shakes racked her body, as she buried her head into the pillow.
She fucking hated Mars.
How much longer could she go for?
How much longer before she wanted it to be over?
She cried out harder, unable to keep quiet any longer.
She missed the sound of the airlock opening.
Feeling arms pulling her up and resting her against something, made her sob harder.
She wanted to be home.
She wanted this to be over.
Olivia could feel a hand on her back and on her head, trying to comfort her. A sense of familiarity and calm came over her.
"You're okay Liv, you're okay." Mark whispered softly to the blonde. It pained him to see his bestfriend like this. It hurt him, that he couldn't take the pain away. He was surprised to see that she had gone so long keeping her emotions bottled up.
All he could do for now was comfort her the best he could.
"I just want to go home." Liv spoke, tears slowly starting to taper off.
It took roughly twenty minutes for tears to stop completely and for her to feel well enough to sit up by herself. "I don't know what i would do without you here Mark." She breathed out, as she wiped her face with her hands.
"Trust me, I'll find a way for both of us to get home."
