Mariana's POV
"Stop drinking" I advised "Oh leave me Mari, you fell off the deep end when you lost your girl" she said "No. I... I don't think I've quite fell off the deep end for Charlotte yet. I'm just... getting along with things... until it takes me" I said
"So you were fine?" "No. Of course not, I just didn't... I didn't implode, which confused me... it makes me feel guilty, for not blacking out, crying, spiralling like I've done with everything else in my life but I... I wanted to be strong for her, for Laurence. I didn't want to disappoint her I guess" I said
She finished her drink "I hate the house. I hate being there. I hate her room. I hate hearing Charlie call me mum. I fucking hate it" she let out "And I shouldn't. And it makes me feel like a bad person. A bad mother... a bad wife" she drawled out
"You've been nothing but the best for that man. For that little boy, for Ruby. But I get it... it's understandable to hate that house. I hated it when he bought it" I said, making her chuckle sadly
"He doesn't let me in... in there" she said, pointing to her head before she lit a cigarette "Do you think he ever let you in there?" She asked "Honestly? Because Grace... he was so happy with Grace, he was so easy with her" she went on
I shrugged "I thought I understood Tommy but he... he was a different Tommy back then Lizzie, you saw it. He wasn't as troubled" I said "Mm, but now he is troubled. Trouble and business, it's all I ever fucking hear" she snapped angrily
I patted her arm, unsure of what to say that would make it better Everyone warned her against marrying Tommy Everyone warned her for taking a chance on him
Yet I couldn't bring myself to tell her so To tell her how she chose this path And yet she also didn't She didn't choose a life with someone so distant from the world and everyone in it.
