doomsday - cscoop

the aftermath

the heaviness that she felt when people made promises. she didn't know if they were being honest, or just trying to get what they want. the fear and uncertainty was so familiar.

i couldn't move, in Cooper's embrace at least. i was petrified. what if it's the happy ending i've always wanted? or am i thinking too much into it?

"You okay, Iza?"

he spoke softly, putting his chin on top of my head. i could only nod, i couldn't talk at all. its too much like my mom and dads "love story".

i didn't want it to be anything like them. i don't want the fighting, the bickering, the hellish treatment. god i'm so fucked. why him? why me? why?

"Y-yeah. I'm sorry."

you could hear me choking up, trying not to start crying again. cooper pulled away and looked at me before sitting on my bed.

"So am I..."

he mumbled, looking at his hands.

"Just, don't be like the rest please?"

i can give him a chance. i can. it's not like i'm a piece of work anyway. it can't be so hard right?

i was so wrong.

(hey! thank u all so much for the wacko support on Verbatim! no one asked for a sequel but it bothered me how i left it on a cliffhanger. please enjoy!)
