quarantine was getting on the nerves of many, and the idea of it never ending was worrying to say the least. people were advised to stay home, to stay six feet apart from friends, and to wear masks if going outside. in new york, the virus was growing at an exceedingly average rate, and their entire country was on lockdown. all of america has been in lockdown for a couple months now, and it seems as if the virus is decreasing in size. still, one cannot be so sure.
before this global pandemic, vinny and valarie enjoyed spending time outside of the house. whether it be the mall, the movies, or even just a walk around the park, they found it refreshing. however, due to rules they've been following, they haven't had the pleasure of doing so. vinny didn't find himself complaining too often since he knew just how much other people were struggling, and it made him feel awful for being so inconsiderate. (even though he wasn't) valarie found herself becoming overwhelmed with constantly being at home, and somewhat alone in her head. vinny started to notice how valarie wasn't eating as much as she use to, and how she didn't really come out of bed most mornings until 3pm.
it was a sunday afternoon, and vinny sat downstairs by himself with the constant nagging thought of why valarie was always so far away. if there was something he could do to fix her sorrow, he would... and he's tried, but valarie was confusing on what she wanted most times. gazing over to the stairs, he finally found the courage to climb them, and make his way to the hallway.
"hey, you okay?" vinny inquired as he entered the bedroom valarie was laying in. criminal minds played in the background as she nonchalantly watched an episode she's seen millions of times.
"peachy," she grinned and rolled over to face him. her died black hair was a mess, and her dark green eyes were bloodshot. he just knew that she wasn't okay. even though vinny felt like shit for not being able to help her through her sadness, he felt even worse because he considered the thought that overall, he wasn't doing enough.
"do you want to go for a drive?" the girl nodded, and threw off the white comforter that blocked her from the fans cold air. he smiled as she pulled on one of his cardigans from the closet. "it's not even cold outside-"
"i know." there was silence between them as they readied to go for a drive. it wasn't much, but valarie found herself over ecstatic to just get in the car and go wherever vinny took her. two bottles of water sat in the cup holders of his car, and off they went from their house. "thanks."
"you don't have to thank me, val. really." vinny glanced over to her as he drove, occasionally noticing her half-smile she wore. it was the little things that excited her, and he knew that. "i just can't believe how fucking empty the streets are."
"i know, it's crazy." new york was a busy place to live, and valarie never worked up the courage to go anywhere by herself. grocery shopping was one thing, but anywhere else was another.
"i'm sor-"
"don't apologize for something you didn't cause. i know you," valarie says, interrupting vinny before he could even make out two words. "it's just the shit that's already happened within this lockdown. y'know? and i... well i guess feeling helpless is what's making me feel shitty."
"i know i just... i don't want you to feel that way." of course valarie knew he didn't want her to feel hopeless, and he didn't want her to be alone in this situation, but it was an inevitable feeling. it always has been for her. "i love you, okay? we'll get through this." she smiled over to him and nodded her head to his words. yeah, she'd get through this. his efforts were all that really mattered to her at this moment. not like she cared before, but right now it was beautiful to her.
upon returning home, valarie went through with ordering a pizza for dinner. vinny was a little surprised since she didn't tell him before ordering it, but he was just happy she was actually eating. if pizza was what it took, he was alright with it. "today is gonna be the day that we order a large pizza for two," valarie sang to the made up lyrics of wonder wall with a laugh breaking through.
"oh god," vinny sighed, amused by her awful joke. "that's... i really don't know what to say." the woman laughed to herself and opened the fridge to grab herself a la croix. vinny didn't like them, so she had the whole pear flavored box to herself. somehow a singular car ride had the girls good spirits on blast, and she was living her best life. (for the time being) life seemed to always do that though, drag you down, and then give you a free day.
"what're you streaming tonight?" valarie liked to sit on the couch downstairs, and listen as vinny streamed. she'd often look at the screen when she heard him having a giggle fit. overall, she was glad he found something he liked to do, even if it was something he found ten years ago. still, she liked that he streamed to this day. shrugging, vinny glanced over to his monitor with question written all over he face.
"i'm not sure. it's sunday, so probably some corruptions. why?" the woman didn't have a reasonable answer for her query, she was just curious for some reason unknown.
"i dunno. just wondering." valarie, with her chapped lips, kissed his cheek, and stood from the couch with poise. "you're sweet sometimes."
"i try," he says softly. the woman wore a genuine smile at the memories they've shared over a course of five years.
