*Age 19*
If Margo is completely honest with herself she really misses him. All this is so strange and new, she has no idea what to do. He's always been around to help her adapt to whatever she needs to adapt to, and now he isn't there. It's like being lost at sea, you want to do something other than swim, but you can't until help arrives.
She looks out the window of her apartment, she hasn't talked to him in a while, and she thinks it's been at least a week and a half. Rain rolls down the glass of the window and Margo is suddenly reminded of a time that seems so far away.
She grabs her phone, fingers itching to dial all too familiar numbers. She tosses the phone back down, she can't. She's determined to go a little while longer without him. This is stupid and she knows it, all this to prove a point. She fingers her phone again, dying to just call and get it over with.
Thunder crashes outside and Margo winces. She grabs Tony the teddy bear off her bed, bringing the bear close to her chest. She buries her nose in the soft plush of the bear, smiling at the familiar sent. More thunder crashes and Margo hugs the bear tighter, trying to ward off the feeling of needing to call him. He's so far away right now, but one phone call and he'll be here as soon as possible. She can't call him though; she's trying to prove something. Prove what? She can't remember exactly what it is she's trying to prove, but she's trying to prove something all the same.
More thunder crashes and odd shadows dance across the walls. She buries her face in the old teddy bear, hiding from all the strange things. This is all so strange and new, she doesn't like it, it's not what she's use to. Strange shadows dance across the walls, mocking her. Scaring her just so she'll call him, but she isn't giving in, she's got something to prove.
Her grip on the bear tightens when lightening strikes and rain starts pelting the window. This is all so new and she just needs something familiar to calm her down, to let her know she's safe. She feels out of place and doesn't like it; she isn't supposed to be here.
She really does miss him, she really and truly does, but she's proving something. She touches the phone again, fingers searching for all too familiar buttons. She shoves the phone away even further, she's proving something here, and she isn't going to give in, not now. It's been so long, too long to give up now.
Violet eyes glance out the window, watching as rain falls outside. She's never seen it rain like this, she has but not alone like this. Thunder crashes and she jumps slightly, squeezing the life (if it was alive) from her old teddy bear. She needs something familiar to calm her down, she's almost afraid.
Thunder rolls over and over again, it's like a never ending sound. Strange shadows dance across the walls again, mocking her. Even the familiar teddy bear seems new and strange. She tosses the bear down, no longer comforted by its familiarness. She knows what she needs to calm down, to be happy, but she's got something to prove. She hates this, fighting like this, but they're too similar not to fight.
Shadows dance and thunder crashes, she reaches for her phone. Fingers swipe across familiar numbers, dialing a number long forgotten in her mind but memorized by her fingers. She places the sleek black square to her ear, listening for any indication they've picked up the phone.
"Hello?" It's a familiar voice and Margo silently wonders if she should've tried to prove anything in the first place.
She bites her lip, still wanting to prove something, she's come so far. But everything is strange and new and different, she doesn't like it. The familiar voice brings tears to her eyes and she doesn't even know why she's crying. "I'm scared." She mutters, thunder crashing and shadows dancing. There's a familiar sigh and she's back home, home where she belongs; but home is so far away right now. "I miss you." She finally says, it's barely audible but she says it all the same.
"I miss you too Princess." Tony's voice floods her ears and she's home, where everything isn't so strange and different.
She's given in and called him, but who cares? Sure she had something to prove, but she doesn't now, she's given up on proving anything. She really does miss him (along with everyone else), and she just needs the lull of that familiar voice.
"I'll be there tomorrow Princess." Tony says and Margo's happy, much too happy for such gloomy weather.
"Promise Daddy?" She questions, hands grabbing her teddy again, bringing the bear to her chest again.
"Promise."
Suddenly everything isn't so strange and new and different. Everything is familiar and safe, it's home.
