people always spoke of the moments of clarity prior to a crash ; the helplessness , the slow motion and the rapid speed at once ; the inescapable knowledge of what’s about to happen ! when green hues settled on evie hunched , blood dripping from her side , a vindictive member of uma’s crew towering over her , she know how it felt . legs can’t carry her fast enough , kicking down barriers and barely managing to retain composition . ( evie’s blood is on the seat of the limousine - nausea overcomes her . ) bickering with jay and carlos when they return , when evie’s losing consciousness . hands stained red . mother’s voice echoes - TOLD YOU LOVE WAS WEAKNESS ! SHOULD HAVE HEEDED MY ADVICE ! ( mother always knew her better . )
never felt fear in such volume , witnessing evie dragged away into the infirmary . they’d just gotten together ! one night spent exploring their new privileges . ( turning into an auradon girl - fantasies of happily ever after . ) it was her fault - was the reason for their rescue mission ! evie would be fine if not for her selfishness - should’ve told her to leave ; should’ve insisted . too stubborn for her own good . insists upon seeing evie first , insisted upon remaining there . sat in an uncomfortable chair , half asleep with the weight of the day . ( using evie’s blood stained jacket as a blanket . had insisted upon that too . ) eyes snap open at the first sound of a voice , isle instincts aiding in how quickly she was alert. “ E ! “ louder than necessary , drowned in relief .
“ you were worried ? “ light breath passing through lips , on the edge of her seat , enabling a better view of her girlfriend . jacket falling from chest in the shifting , splashes of blue crumpled on her lap . small , relieved smile starting . “ i thought you were going to die . “ first time has uttered the words out loud - heart beat picking up measurably . fear re-emerging .
