meredith crash- sequel to highway to hell.
"remember when we got into that car crash
the sight that flashed before my eyes was your face
engine killed, lying there, battered and bare
the only rhythm i could hear was, "we are going to be okay."
and that ride to the hospital
i think that was when i forgot your name
sirens wailed, dawn air, teary eyes holding foreign despair
must have had you thinking that choosing me was your truest crime."
um, this was better in my head?
probably should've done this before. you're already familiar with ivy nightshade, she's from the 'picture in her locket' series.
so in my mind ivy finally moves on from her past and starts a new life, and you know similar to how every other story has that nice character who randomly shows up and magically makes everything fine- rheum oleander is that character.
rheum has got his life sorted out. he's fine. everything's perfect, and then he just had to meet ivy. ivy's got a lot of emotional baggage. she's trying to live and learn- both at the same time.
the thing about characters like rheum is that they are always there somehow. need a shoulder to cry? they are there. need someone to talk to? they are there. need a friend? they are there. a friend to meet after work? they are there. a friend to run errands with? they are there. need a stranger with all your secrets? they are there.
they are always there, but they are temporary. especially in ivy's case. even though she has moved on from her past, there's this feeling that bothers her all the time. the feeling of being not enough. the feeling that reminds you that you can never be happy. the feeling that reminds you that you can never make someone else happy.
rheum was there for everything, but everything was temporary. he was trying to build a home in ivy's life and it was for nothing.
the line, "and that ride to the hospital, i think that was when i forgot your name." explains how insignificant was rheum in ivy's life. ivy was rheum's centrefold, but to her, he was just a page in the book of her life.
it doesn't mean ivy's a bad person. hurt people, hurt people. as much as it is unbelievable, it's true.
