can't shut my heart up

house of memories

Maxine POV

                 I relax a lil more into the chair and unbutton some of my shirt but not fair enough to show cleavage. I take a cookie and bite it. Iris takes a cookie and pours me a drink...man i need one 

M: thanks iris

I: mhm!

Daffodil POV

                I'm worried about Violet...i know i shouldn't be and i should focus on the movie-

K: *whispers* hey...you okay?

Daff: i'm alright Karen...just a little chilly

K: oh here then

               She puts the arm of the seat up and wraps her arm around me. I happily sigh and look at her...this date has been amazing really... she really does know how to pamper a woman i just...worry

K: ...you can't keep worrying about them

Daff: how did you know-

K: *chuckle* come on daff...i'm the oldest too...i think about them every day and yeah i worry sometimes...but i also have a life and they have their owns...just like you have your's

Daff: *sigh* i know it's quite silly

K: honestly it's not...the silly thing is how you speak if i'ma be honest

Daff: what on earth?

K: i don't care though aha i just find it funny how you talk all proper like that

Daff: i have no clue what you mean?

K: tsk...oh whatever...you're cute

                I feel myself blush as i lean onto her more for warmth. She leans her head onto mine...maybe they're...no...they are all right...i should allow myself to have what i want...which is her

Alanis POV

                   Gabrielle drives me to this house simple looking house at the end of the "singles" district...it's two floors and kinda looks big for one girl

G: *sigh* home sweet home

Alan: uh...cool

             We walk in and honestly...this place needs decor like damn. Has kinda pretty windows i guess. But the things in here are spread out...it kinda makes the place feel...feel lonely 

Gab: well um i assume you wouldn't be comfortable sleeping in that

Alan: honestly in not wearing a bra, the shirts chill i can just sleep in my...

                I pull my waist band forward to see what kinda underwear i wear and it it'd be chill...

Alan: huh...my boxers

Gab: oh uh w-well um where would you prefer to sleep?

Alan: uh...what are the options?

Gab: this sofa, the one i have upstairs or um...my bed?

Alan: *chuckle* i'm not taking your bed...wouldn't mind sleeping in the same room though...it just feels kinda lonely down here

                   She nods and leads me upstairs...what's with all the pictures on the walls? I walk over and some seem just random to me...i see one of a girl with stars on her cheeks...a bunch actually...there's even some with her and the mayor together...she looks so happy...these are memories...moments in time...one where she seems much happier then she seems now...or whatever anyways-

Alan: so like who's this?

Gab: hm? oh...*sigh* that was Astra

Alan: what the hell do you mean was?

Gab: well...s-she's...*gulp* s-she's just a ghost now

Alan: oh i...shit gabs i'm sorry i-

Gab: *sniff* it's okay...r-really i should learn how to get over it already

                I quickly spot her ring on her ring finger...wow

Alan: she uh...really was something wasn't she?

Gab: oh she was everything to me...funny, beautiful, kind, a *chuckle* m-much better cook then i was...she gave the b-best *tears up* h-h-hugs

                Welp i'ma making a bitch, heck the mayor cry and i haven't even been here a day...what do i fucking do? She sits on her bed and starts hugging herself as she cries...do i uh...do something?...maybe i should um...hug her? i walk over and kneel down awkwardly in front of her. She looks at me sorta confused as i open my arms...what to i do-

Gabrielle POV

              I accept her offer and hug her. She big muscles are oddly comforting to have around my waist. I cry into her shoulder and she tries to figure out what to do. Eventually...she does something only one person i knew ever did to help me feel better-
