LAUGHTER WARMS THE AIR, FILTERING THROUGH MAXIMALIST WALLS. NO AMOUNT OF SILENCE COULD BE FOUND, THROWN TO THE WIND AS WOMEN BECOME GIRLS AGAIN—A MOMENT OF CHAOTIC CONTENT, STARS PLAYING PRETEND FOR THE HELL OF IT. It’s sweet , the childlike nature that find them, how judgement (OF EACH OTHER ) flees the bones and the body. THERE IS BEAUTY IN EXPOSURE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN THIS— ECHOING VOICES AND A BOTTLE OF WINE BETWEEN CLOSE FRIENDS.
[ BEGIN SCENE ]
❝ I can’t help it, you’re BREATHING ON ME. Do you HAVE to be so close ? You’re practically in my skin. IN. MY. SKIN ❞ Complaints surface teasingly , followed by a rapid blinking as BRUSH PASSES TOO CLOSE TO THE CORNER OF HER EYE. ❝ god how did I let you convince me to do this ??? WHY did I let you convince me to do thi—CAREFUL THIS FACE PAYS THE BILLS! ❞ WHINE. WHINE. WHINE. It’s harmless , endearing really. ( MAYBE WE’RE MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME, A CHILDHOOD THAT NEVER WAS. WE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN GIRLS TOGETHER, BUT WE STILL GROW.)
❝ Okay okay let me stop , I’m serious this time. ❞ A STRAIGHT FACE, SMOOTH AS STONE IT ONLY LASTS A MILLISECOND BEFORE AN ERUPTION OF LAUGHTER OVERTOOK HER, CAUSING HER TO LEAN FORWARD FINGERTIPS DIGGING UNCONTROLLABLY INTO HER COMPANIONS SHOULDER before pushing herself up , A TEAR OF BLACK SMEARED DOWN HER CHEEK. stomach still hurts from the force of air she released only seconds before, and the fits yet to come. A TAUT LAUGH, TEAR INDUCING, AND CAREFREE ( SAVED JUST FOR YOU . )
KATIE catches her breath, manicured mail swooping below her eye to catch the escapist, unknowingly smearing the shadow even more. ❝ Please stab me in the eye , I’m actually begging. DO IT / NILLA / I DARE YOU. put me out of my misery ❞
