The rooftops

Sometimes, after the playground,
They would go up high.
They would climb a tall staircase,
Up and up
And go sit on the rooftops.
"Little kids shouldn't go up there! It's not safe!" People tell them.
They aren't a safe bunch, however.
And so they do it, anyway.
Lana liked it most because she felt free. The wind was always blowing and she could see everything. She felt like a queen. She felt dangerous.

They all sit together there now, legs swinging off the edge.

Lana lays her head back in Electra's lap. Her eyes flutter closed. The air is humming and the tree's ruffling leaves are comforting.
Troye brings his knees up to his chest. He rests his head on them. He hums something quietly. His doll sits beside him on the cold concrete.
A/N: he is humming once upon a dream from sleeping beauty because yesss
Crybaby pulls off her shoes and places them lightly behind her. She lets her feet dangle again. She stares down at her socks. They have white lace on the rim and are pale pink.
Suddenly, a flashback hits:
Johnny's eyes, staring into hers. She had on a yellow dress that fluttered around her legs.
They had stood on the same rooftop. Far below, two little bikes were parked parallel to each other. There was a small silver wrench and and a pair of training wheels on the ground nearby. Crybaby vividly remembered  his flushed cheeks and small smile. She had leaned in. Closer, just a little closer- her eyes closed, her hand reached forward, her heart fluttered, she whispered
"I love y-"
then suddenly-
The memory ends.
Crybaby snaps back to reality.
Her heart stings.
Everyone is the same as they were before.
Lana is asleep in Electra's lap.
Crybaby grips her dress in fistfuls and  stares up at the sky, just trying to hold back tears.
They roll down anyway.
A/N: kind of a filler/vent chapter. I want to do tronnor and I also want to have more Electra stuff, so if anyone has ideas for this, please tell me!
Also just so you know, Electra and Lana don't like each other romantically they are just v good friends.
XOXO
