"Ron is your depression, Maia. This sad story. What he did to you not only reminded you of how you lost your step mother Stormie and watched her die as if you knew the process, but somehow his brother came back to kill you and your family. And you seem to ignore that it was him. You seem nonchalant about it. But to much loss can make a person feel like they have no surface to recovery, and Ron is that feeling for you time and time again. You were in an environment where you felt safe in, where Ron's brother Sam engulfed the building into flames with your kids inside... harming your sister and friends. You're scared to believe in good again."
You don't have to educate me on goodbyes. I thought I knew what that felt like, actually. I do know because I remember I watched Ross' tour bus drive off with the dust filling my nose. But I just didn't know I would have to feel that again with someone else.
"Maia - this is so hard to do." Nina had frowned to early; fore I didn't know what I felt. But I saw Nina's face and it hadn't given me a reason to think that she had good news or atleast news that wouldn't tear me apart after she was done.
Instant flashbacks come back in the most quick and horrifying flickers. Flashes just going through my mind at a certain rate I felt dizzy. You feel finished like you did in those moments that come back in. Remembering the positions I stood in when my life changed and I was thinking, where did I go wrong?
"What is it? Is everything okay at home, what is it?"
Dark Flashbacks
"The carousel never stops turning you can't get off."
"I was swimming... I was fighting and then I thought! Just for a second! I thought, what's the point? Some days I just feel like absolutely nothing. When I look in the mirror sometimes I see nobody worth fighting for."
"I drowned Riker. There was nothing more I could do."
"But the fact that your legs stopped swinging in that damn water - disgusts me. You didn't have the right to give up!"
