can we just get lost?

“What did it feel like,” he asked, “to hold a storm in your hands?”

I didn’t even have to think about it. “Limitless.”

“Will you let me feel that, just this once?” he whispered. “Just once.”

Chubs: Literally no difference he is the mom of the whole gang no doubt. He’s that friend that has the hand sanitizer handy 24/7 and hands you a tissue the second he even heard the echo of sniffle across the house. Makes everyone practically bathe in sun screen when it’s above 80 degrees. Also carries around a pocket planner that has everyone’s appointments and such.

Ruby: the chill one but talking back to her is basically suicide on your behalf

Liam: in charge of entertainment and food. And as we all know a soccer mom. Like no one even dares to open the trunk because they know—they know that fold up chairs will be tumbling out and crushing them. Also you can hear him cheering on everyone’s kid at any sports. And those chairs? He never sits in them no he’s too into the game. And no one ever knows who’s game it is the Liam want to go to like they don’t have kids yet and even if they did sports would be a disaster

Vida: late but doesn’t give fuck about it.

His expression was one of pure wonder. “You looked like a star.”

Lightning streaked over us, and my heart gave that little kick again. He looked flustered, suddenly fixing his attention on his hands. “I don’t even know what I’m saying. I’m sorry.”

“You thought I looked like a star,” I said softly. The words hung in the air between us, and not even thunder was powerful enough to erase them.

“Charlie Boy’s going to kill me, but we don’t give a damn what boys think, do we, girlfriend?”

We deserve to be free.

We deserve more than this.

We’ve inherited the darkest legacy.
