✮ eyeliner ✮

✩°｡ ⋆⸜ 🎧✮

"How're you feeling?" Malia asks me as I help her with her eyeliner in her dressing room.

"Hm?"

"You said you felt sick last night."

"Oh, yeah. Fine now, thanks. It was just a headache."

Mal just nods and I frown.

"Don't move your head."

She stifles a laugh at my tone. "Sorry, mom."

She's been... off today. Not her usual energetic, make-fun-of-everything self.

"How are you feeling?" I ask with a raised eyebrow as I finish the eyeliner and gesture to the mirror so she can see if she likes it.

She gives me a nod and I move onto her other eyelid. "What do you mean?"

"You're not yourself today. You okay?"

"I fucked Theo."

"What?!" I yelped, my hand jolting to convey my shock and consequently spreading eyeliner over her temple. "Shit! Sorry!"

Malia can be blunt about things, kind of like Tom. They just say things as they are.

She lets out one laugh before returning to her more sullen face. "It's fine. Could've warned you."

"You had sex with Theo? When?"

"At the party. You and Tom had left."

I nod slowly as I try getting rid of the eyeliner mark. "Was it a drunk thing or..?"

"Oh, it's always a drunk thing."

Always?

"We have sex almost every time we're drunk and every time I regret it because he's..."

I expect her to say he's a dick or something like that because it's Malia and she and Theo are always arguing. Instead, she hits me with-

"- the love of my life." She scoffs. "Not that I can ever say that to him."

"What?" I stop wiping away the eyeliner and look at her. "You love him?"

"Mhm." So blatant. "Since I joined the band. He'd already been in for a few months and I had the biggest crush on him. Thought it would die down, but it didn't."

"Why don't you tell him?"

Why don't I tell Tom how I feel?

"Because it's not what I do. Not what we do."

"But-"

"Priscilla, it's just... I can't. And I won't. Because I'm content."

I shut my mouth, not wanting to argue with her, and just finish up her makeup.

"Well, I'm on in twenty minutes so I'll see you out there." She grins at me as if we didn't just have a whole conversation about her thing - no, love - for Theo.
