To the Addek supporters: I was all Team Addek! until Mark came along, and then I really started hating Derek around the Prom episode. So until they make Derek less annoying, I'm afraid I can't support Addek. Twilight and Silence, thank you! But then again, I'm still in school, so I guess I have to find a use for learning all the literature.
NOW we're getting into my favorites. Angsty Addek. It's almost as addicting as Maddison.
Fire
She's never really liked red, and it's almost entirely because wearing it makes her look like a flaming torch, the sort used to hunt opera ghosts and such.
So she sits, staring red-eyed at the flickering candle on the kitchen table, wondering exactly why she has bothered lighting it.
She won't blow it out, though, because some sort of twisted symbolism in her mind has associated the flame with Derek, and if she blows it out, then he'll really be gone.
But she exhales once, too shakily, and the candle goes out, and she can't breathe anymore.
Reference: Phantom of the Opera. By Gaston Leroux. Opera Ghosts are always hunted with flaming torches, though the effectiveness of the said torches is...questionable.
Note: I love you five or six people who review every single drabble. It really makes my day. BUT, it's the same five or six every time, and I'm really starting to think that I have a very limited, yet very darling, range of readers. So. If I can get two or three new people to just review every once in a while, that would be awesome. Please, cater to my non-existant self-esteem!
