And that was it, right there, the day that everything that had happened before ended, and our futures seemed suddenly to stretch out before us, like long, unexplored pathways...
And there was no reason not to smile, no reason not to look forward to tomorrow...
Because everything...at last...was alright.
Almost everything.
There was still stuff that, to be honest, just sucked.
(You've only JUST conceded that suck is probably the best descriptive word in the universe... it took me a long time, though)
Like...there was your father.
I think (I hoped?) you felt better about it all after we had that talk and you realised that, at last, you weren't COMPLETELY alone.
But I knew better than anyone that just because you happen to feel better about something, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's completely fixed. Or that the problem won't come back and screw everything up for you another time.
I mean, I would do pretty much anything to help you...but I still couldn't do anything about the fact that you had a completly narrow-minded moron for a father.
I didn't pay a lot of attention to you, at first, although after a few months, I gradually realised that you weren't close to your father and didn't have any sadness about leaving home for the first time, but it wasn't until you opened up to me that I realised how bad things were.
After the initial shock I felt at the idea that your father could disown you so casually without the slightest provocation, the signs were so obvious to me, I wonderd how I could've missed them before.
Like Nessarose. I know sisters don't technically have any obligation to like each other or talk or anything...but they usually have SOMETHING to say to one another. But when you passed in the halls, no one would've guessed you were related if they hadn't already known. You didn't even seem to dislike each other that much...instead,there was just nothing.
A complete vacume of emotion between the two of you, and it actually freaked me out a little bit.
Not you. Nessarose.
That was something EVERYBODY knew about you, right from day 1, due to you throwing that fit on campus, that you had always cared for Nessa, almost your whole life.
And maybe nobody else thought about it, but I did... How could you go from completly depending on a person all your life...to just acting as if she didn't exist?
Didn't she see how isolated you were without her?
Although that's just a guess on my part, because for all I know, you might not have been bothered about it at all.
But she didnt seem to ever give you a chance to push her away and tell her you were fine by yourself...
