We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We’ll have Halloween on Christmas
Jack and Sally had always been, and forever shall be, once secretly, my favorite couple. Even through my anti-love days, they had always played a role in my head. I wanted that. I wanted a crazy relationship–feh! It’d be more then a relationship, I would never belittle myself with something called a boyfriend, it had to be so much more–it had to be one. And I wanted that stream of togetherness, the entire world as one person when we were together, to be the dance at the tip of sanity, where reality played in the background. I wanted Halloween on Christmas, I wanted to break free.
I had unwittingly found what I’ve been searching for. And while my main reason for existance seemed to fit all together when I slammed myself into Molly’s life, laughing and pissing myself as I went, I tripped over someone else along the way and tumbled down a hill I didn’t think I could find. It became something I forgot I needed.
When I found Molly, I felt a sense of ease, you know? Like I was put here to watch after her, make sure she’s happy. And then I stumbled into Will.
Laura tells me not to make him my entire world. My pride fuels up and I scoff, sticking my nose up, when something dark inside of me stirs. I had unwittingly made him my world when I glanced at him, I had doomed myself. I remember the horrible sense of dread I felt when he first drove me home–I remember sitting in the car, one foot out, my fingers clutching the handle, my eyes flickering in his direction. I laughed nervously. Please don’t let me go. Please take me home with you.
School days revolved around the end of 3, the end of 4, sometimes the end of 5th, and 7th period, along with 9th which was spent outside with you, where I’d stammer and try and make small talk.
Snarf once mention she knew how passionate I was about time with Will–I hadn’t realized I was until she said so. I don’t mean to be, but it’s just… I’ve never met anyone before where I needed to be near them every second. It’s as though I’m racing against a clock, like I may never see him again. It’s unhealthy, I hear people say, and it must be if it hurts so goddamn much when I spend a moment away.
I almost hate myself for what I’ve become–I loathe the realization that something is missing when I’m by myself, that when I’m not with him and I laugh to something funny I have to keep myself from looking around to see if he found it funny because he’s not there. Everything I argued against has happened to me.
Since the beginning, I had followed him wherever he went in his house. He soon started saying I’m like a little puppy dog–and I noticed that half the time, I don’t even realize I’m following him. It’s gotten to the point where we do everything together–even go to the bathroom.
Frankie told me that I was like Bella and I became devestated at the notion.
There’s a place I tend to go to when I become sad. I can’t explain why, but it’s always been my secret hiding place. The bathroom. I lean against the wall, bring my knees to me, and sit there–preferably in the dark. I also have to be near the door–of course, I’ve been hit in the face a few times.
And that’s how Will discovered yet another one of my secrets. And just like how Nathan used to, he sat down next to me, and glanced down. He asked if I was hungry, I said no, not anymore. Then I told him I felt sad–I’m always beating him up. He tells me that he deserves it because he eggs me on. And then he said,
“Sarah, we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together. What do I care of scratches and punches?”
Sometimes I have trouble believing he really wants to marry me, but then I note–I really want to live with him for the rest of my life as well, so what’s so odd about it?
What I can’t get over is how… I just seem to feel like I’ve known him all my life. That I’ve kissed him before I knew him. What I can’t seem to wrap my mind around is how well he seems to just know me. And what bothers me is the constant need to be around him.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always held my own hand whenever I sat down. My fingers would just lace together, it was a habit that was near impossible to break. Then came Will. And suddenly I didn’t need to hold my hand, it felt fine.
I believe in reincarnation. And things are swaying in that direction, and I’ve admitted to things I never really wanted too.
My reasons for being massively in love with Tom Riddle. It wasn’t the fictional Harry Potter’s Tom Riddle, but the Tom Riddle version that I made up in my head, the one Nathan and Vincent both come from. The Tom Riddle who only has Tom Riddle’s name, Hogwarts, the time period and nothing more. The Tom Riddle that Jayden broke off of and turn colder.
That boy. That boy that had lived inside my head since I was younger. The one that used to be Sirus. Maybe I’m just delusional, maybe I’m trying to connect things that aren’t there.
Maybe everything that has happened inside my stories are happening now and I’m too proud to admit to any of it. I’m watching scenes replay before me. And all my habits, and all my secrets, and the things I’ve hidden from even Molly…
Oh and sweet Molly.
I had been thinking about it a whole lot more, and I couldn’t lie to myself. While Will may make the world fade and reality play, I’d always need my Molly. I’m a whole lot more unstable without her. And while Will can make me laugh and make everything wonderful, he can also make me angry or sad, and Molly’s always a breath away to make me forget my unhappiness. She’s always a breath away to heal whatever damage has made me stumble.
And while hurting over something–maybe Dennis, or just an anxiety attack, it isn’t Will who comes to mind first, it’s Molly, and I go searching for her, because she knows how to make it all better just by popping up and going, ‘o.o’ on aim or in messages, and relief trickles followed by her knowing, almost motherly, ‘Are you okay?’ and out spills whatever bothers me.
And then ‘ ‘_’ wat’
I wouldn’t be well off without Molly. I think I’d be a lot more broken up and ruined.
And my lovely Molly, love Doug, love him with everything. You and I have a special love, you know, different then romantic love, or family love. You and I… we’re just faggots. We have fag love. So love him, love him more then the world, it’d make me happy if you did. It’d make me happy if he realizes it and returns it.
D:< But I’m tellin’ you right now, he better beware, because whatever involves you, involves me, and I’ll be lurking in the shadows. Doug isn’t allowed to hurt you. And I wouldn’t attack him ever, because that would upset you, but he’ll become aware of my warth. And he’ll know and fear it.
And Snarf, you warm me with your happiness. And your love. And your FAJ. I don’t have much to say, you’ve been doin’ better from what I can see, but I’m biast, and to me everyone is happy. FOREVER. -STARES AT EVERYONE EVER.- o_o;
But you, you are my sister, my best friend, and I love you. And while I may go on and on about bizarre things dealing with Will, and my faggot love for Molly, I will never have anyone like you in my life. You’re my family, and I’ll remind you of this for always.
I remember when we had creative writing, and you’d tell me of this game–FUCK I LOST–and FAJ and Kami and Jason and vent–is it called vent?–and the video games… I knew. There was something about FAJ. And when you told me he won the game–SHIT AGAIN–and you respected him, you were sad, and you wouldn’t admit it, and I wanted to beat him up because he tricked you.
BUT NOW I WANNA BE ALL, “HA HA YOU GUYS LOVE EACH OTHER YOU BOTH FUCKIN’ FAIL FOREVER”. But that wouldn’t be nice and I think he’d be angry you told me such activities.
But, yeah. I could totally take him in a fight. I COULD TAKE HIM ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL SO HE COULD PAY MY BILLS. -Sobs violently.-
You, Snarf, you’re an amazing friend. You’ve dealt with more then I’d ever ask of you to handle. My crazy rages, Jayden coming out to be a bitch, mortal kombat in the computer lab over an essay, me telling you to go kill yoursefl… Jesus Christ. And not to forget my lost in interest with reality and being out of it for a few months.
And still, you take my hand, and lead me down the halls like the protective older sister, and pat my head, and make me feel happy. I always want to hear your stories, I always want to know the joy you feel, and I always want to be there for you.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it until you get it through your head.
D:< YOU’RE NOT FAT, OKAY? You’re lovely. You’ve got this kickass attitude, you’re spunky, you’re so outgoing, you’ve got this ease about you, you’re mega cool, you’re so very beautiful, and your hair is so pretty and soft. You’re AMAZING. And you deserve the world.
