In her mind ~Watty's 2018~

~5~

(The song I listened to while writing this, it's pretty good, check it out. Blackbear is daddy.)

Karen seemed to try her hardest over the next few days to break Maria, it was a constant battle for the last pieces of her sanity, and at times all she wanted to do was give up. the constant mental pain was too much for her weak soul and body to handle. The sleepless nights and constant inner wars were enough to make her crumble to the ground and give in to the malicious voice that whispered in her ear at all times of the day and night.

There were times when Karen seemed to be too much for even Kevin to handle, and he didn't even know everything she said or showed Maria. The stress was immeasurable and impossible at times but they both leaned on each other and supported the other one through this. Kevin did most of the work but he relied on Maria to tell him the truth and help him help her to push through these feelings.

These feelings and thoughts were overwhelming, It had been bad before but Karen had never been this bad. Deep down Maria knew that she was just scared. She'd never felt like this before, she never had someone care for her this much or be this dedicated to her wellbeing, and to someone, as damaged as Maria, new had always meant bad.

Kevin sighed for what seemed like the thousandth time that night as he watched Maria mumble to herself. It was heartbreaking to see this happen to her and it had been a lot for him to get used to in such a short amount of time. Still, he guessed that no matter how long he would have to get used to this he would never get used to seeing Maria suddenly go silent and cold as if her mind was worlds away with her body stuck here on earth. He hated how she would get this faraway look in her eyes before she mumbled under her breath, it scared him to his soul.

Despite her want to get help and how open she was to her feelings and thoughts, Maria seemed to be more hesitant to repeat all the words Karen spoke. Often opting for lying or giving Kevin short and summarized versions of Karens whispers. Good days and bad, she never felt comfortable enough to let go that part of her mind. So many years of hiding things and shoving feelings down had made her innermost walls become harder than steel. At times even she didn't know how to get them to come down. Her mind had become a maze of glass and steel. One wrong move could knock her down and shatter her in ways she would never recover from. 

AN: Sorry it's short. I've got bad writer's block and I'm trying to write my chapters on paper before typing them so it's easier for me to edit and notice mistakes. Anyone have any ideas or guesses how this story should progress?
