Drift Queen (ON HOLD)

Chapter 45 Haircut

READ AUTHORS NOTE AT THE END

Third pov

The nightmares doesn't go easy on her after finding the car.

The flashes are still faster than she can properly see, but the noises and crashes and overall feelings are there. Bright and raw like they'd happened the very same moment.

She wakes feeling like her heart is about to beat right out of her chest.

There's a pounding headache in the back of her head as she makes her way to the bathroom and promptly looses everything she's eaten in the last 24 hours.

She closes her eyes to the harsh light that comes when she flips the bathroom switch.

There's a tingling feeling in her fingers and her eyes look sunken in, there's- no, she blinks, there's no red in her hair.

There's no red.

There's no red.

And yet, her hand inches towards the scissors that she knows Reiko left in the drawers beneath the sink.

Chunks of white fall to the floor as she evens out the cut. Making sure it's finally at the same lenght as the hair that had been cut when she came to the hospital.

It hadn't been a lot that they had to cut, all of it easy to hide, but can't- can't

She just wants the red to go away

Fuck, what's wrong with her?!

Everything's just so- so wrong! She can't remember important stuff, she can't remember herself and what little she does remember is coated in pain and panic and she can't deal right now.

It's hard.

It's so damn hard.

"Fuck it."

********************************************************************

Han is the first one awake for the day, or well, he thought so until he found Elise looking through one of several car manuals in the garage. She's dressed like she just came out of bed, sweatpants and hoddie with the hood up.

There's two stacks beside her, one he assumes she's read and one yet to be read.

"Mornin' Han."

She sounds too awake to not have been so for a good while.

"Good morning, sunshine. Been awake long?"

She makes a humming noise. "Yup, not gonna say how long though."

He chuckles. "Want something to eat?"

She looks up from the manual, contemplating the question. "Yeah, I could do with something to eat."

The two went to the kitchen.

Han went for sandwich ingredients while Elise got some yogurt.

Han raised an eyebrow when he saw her pouring it into a cup instead of a bowl.

"What?" She sounded a tad defensive when she saw him looking at her cup.

"Nothing." He smiles and goes back to making sandwiches for the both of them.

Elise looks a little surprised when he hands her one. "Thanks."

He's already got his mouth full so he settles for patting her head affectionately.

It's shorter than i would have liked, but the ideas have been fighting me.
