@HeartOfALuthor moments after the sounds of gurgling were heard, she stumbled out, walking slowly to the bed before lying down

“…Lena? I…know this is an awkward time. And I don’t know what the…future holds. For me or for you. I’m terrified. But no matter what happens, I…want to face it with you. You make me stronger.”

@HeartOfALuthor she called out from the bathroom door, her voice shaky

“M-Maybe we should take a break…oh god…uh…for today. Just…sleep. I…my brain can’t deal with all of this…

…do you have any mouthwash?”

@HeartOfALuthor she slowly stood up

“This is going to take a while. I…just need to run to the bathroom. Pardon me.”

she calmly walks off to the bathroom and shuts the door. Moments later, the sound of loud vomiting can be heard

@HeartOfALuthor “I…just want this all to end…but I need to see all of this.”

she stares at the computer

“…I deserve the whole truth. I want the whole truth.”

@HeartOfALuthor “…if he wants me? Maybe he’ll listen to me…it’s a terrible idea. But he can’t force me to go with him or obey him…right? I’m my own woman…I was…”

she frowned, muttering quietly

“…I still am for now, at least. Is there anything else I should know about before…well, before I inevitably lie in bed unable to sleep?”

@HeartOfALuthor “……what if he has the ans-…”

she cleared her throat

“…What, I mean to say is…if he does come here, we should make sure he doesn’t get away. To…question him. I…have a lot I want to ask him directly. I want to hear it coming out of his stupid mouth.”

@HeartOfALuthor -c- mind ever since she learned the truth. A thought that just can’t escape her mind. Possibly the dumbest idea she’s ever had

“…Lena? That copy of my father. Any idea where he is now? I’m assuming he’s still out there.”

@HeartOfALuthor “…brave face. It’s…funny. You know all those times we’d get in trouble? How I always had a brave face back then? I mean, she had the brave face…

…the point is, it was a lie. All those times we got in trouble or close to danger? Terrified of the consequences. But I…she still pressed on, even if she wasn’t sure how it would turn out…

…but now? I…don’t know what to do unless I have all the answers…”

she looked over at Lena, a guilty look on her face. She’s had a thought on her-c-

@HeartOfALuthor she stopped at one page in particular, staring at a photo of her when she was younger

“…that bracelet that’s on my wrist in that photo…is that the really expensive one you got me for my birthday?”

she spoke in monotone, being careful not to give off any emotion. As she read through the files, a thought entered her mind. A crazy thought. She knew if Lena knew what she was thinking, she would try to stop her

“…he probably still has it. My…fake dad, I mean.”
