TW: suicidal intentions?
as i reach my childhood bedroom, which was on the other side of the building to all of the rest of them because dear old redgie thought i was too much of a menace for his 'masterpieces' , i remember one of the last times i was in there. it was a cold night. maybe a few years after five disappeared. about a week after ben died. i felt like i shouldnt wake up everyday. vanya had stayed up most of the night with me whilst i was crying. she was the only one to truly lift me up out of one of the darkest times of my life. if it wasnt for her i dont know what i wouldve done. every time i cried vanya would be there at the drop of a hat. i loved her for that. i still do.
i opened my old creaky door to reveal the light pink walls, white curtains, plain white bed and again white desk. i liked my plain room only having a few posters and a rug. it gave me a nice sense of control, which was always nice in a house run by a big narcissistic man. i look to the floor to see the clothes zach and i mustve taken off the night before i moved out. disgusting but oddly sentimental to the moment. i remember that night like it was yesterday. it was two days after zach had invited me to go live with him which i had happily accepted, eager to get out of this house and live my own life. everything was perfect that week except from the fact that vanya would refuse to talk to me. she got mad at me when i told her i was moving out with a guy and said i 'didnt know him enough'. im still confused but its vanya and i couldnt stay mad at her for long.
he died in 2014 just 5 years after i had moved in with him. we were constantly on and off. vanya was right i didnt know him enough but i learnt to love him as a friend more than a lover. after his death his family hated me, blamed me even. so i never knew how he died, as his parents wouldnt tell me. even though the apartment had me as a owner on the papers for about 2 weeks after his death vanya had forced me to move in with her because she was in my apartment and found the letters i was going to give everyone. i spent around 3 to 4 months round vanyas trying to make myself better. vanya was literally my saviour those weeks i dont think id be here if it wasnt for her.
i lay on my bed and close my eyes. for a few seconds. i owe a lot to vanya. i owe my whole life. and with that being said i sat straight up and ran downstairs to see her. she was the only reason i decided to come so i do owe it to myself to see her. i felt this eagerness to like i was attracted to her or something.
as i get half way down the stars i see vanya sitting at the bottom of them and i smile to myself "hey vanyaaa" i say sitting next to her as she smiles looking over at me.
"hey ria. you okay?" she asks, her voice gentle, as i lean my head on her shoulder.
"yea im good. have you found anything else of mine in your apartment?" i ask laughing slightly. i always accidentally leave stuff at her house. books, pills, clothes you name it.
she laughs a my question slightly before answering "not that i can think of no.." she stops as we start to hear music so we just stare at eachother silently
"holy shit.. i remember this one" i say getting up and starting to move my shoulders to the beat.
"children behave"
i sing along with the lyrics whilst reaching my hand out for vanya
"thats what they say when were together"
she shakes her head and looks at me with pleading eyes
"and watch how you play"
i look at her practically begging her to get up
"they dont understand, and so were running just as fast as we can"
after a few seconds she gets up to hold my hand
"holding onto one anothers hand"
i start to dance wildly still holding her hand
"trying to get away into the night"
and then she starts dancing with me for the rest of the song
"and then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground and then you say i think were alone now there doesn't seem to be anyone around i think we're alone now the beating of our hearts is the only sound look at the way we gotta hide what we're doing 'cause what would they say if they ever knew? and so we're running just as fast as we can holding on to one anothers hand trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground and then you say i think we're alone now there doesn't seem to be anyone around i think we're alone now the beating of our hearts is the only sound i think we're alone now there doesn't seem to be anyone around i think we're alone now the beating of our hearts is the only sound running just as fast as we can holding on to one anothers hand trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the grou-"
theres a big crash as me and vanya fall to the floor next to each other looking around confused.
"you okay?" we speak at the same time before again replying at the same time as well with a quick "yes" before letting out a sigh of relief and pulling myself up then turning around to help vanya to.
we rush outside where we see a big blue electric surge sort of thing and look at each other wide eyed. not long after luther, diego and allison come out. "what is it?" vanya shouts over the static noise whilst getting closer before i grab vanyas arm to put her behind me and allison shouts "dont get too close!" whilst grabbing luthers arm back.
"yeah, no shit" diego replys as luther gives him a dirty look and answers vanyas question "looks like some sort of temporal anomaly" he pauses for a second giving it some thought "either that or a miniature black hole. one of the two"
diego looks at him like hes crazy before saying "pretty big difference there, paul bunyan.." being interrupted by klaus shouting "out of the way!" and spraying a fire extinguisher into the the vortex looking thing. after he realises that wont stop it he just throws the whole thing in there.
"whats that gonna do!" i say keeping my arm in front of vanya he turns around and looks at me "i dont know. do you have a better idea?" he says to me before the vortex thing crackles loudly so i cover my ears. "whoa, whoa, whoa. everyone get behind me"
"yeah, get behind us" diego shouts quick as i feel vanyas arm go around my waist and pull me into a hug "its okay" she repeats about 3 times hushing my fears away.
"i vote for running come on!" klaus shouts from the back of us before vanya looks at him and he stops yelling and comes over to rub my back. i take my hands of my ears and brush their hands off my waist and back. "im okay now thank you." i thank them with a small smile on my lips.
i turn to face the vortex and see a figure hanging out of it. the figure struggles before finally falling through and onto the dead leafs on the ground. the sun replaces the vortex as we all walk closer to the person whose slowly getting up off the ground. "does anyone else see little number five, or is that just me?" klaus asks suspiciously
"holy shit" i reply within seconds. "its him" i say with a smile on my face.
five looks himself up and down. "shit."
