There is a scar on her knee from when she was seven years old and reckless and had limbs far too long for her small, thin body and she fell off her bike trying to show off for Oliver and Tommy. She was always falling for her brother, coming up blood and tears and an aching pain. There's a first time for everything, but she thinks there isn't a last time for this.
She sleeps with a boy who has Oliver's sardonic wit and Tommy's sparkling eyes when she's fourteen and he's seventeen and when she cries he asks her did I hurt you?; her heart breaks when she has to whisper back, no. She cuts herself with a knife while making breakfast the next day and Tommy wraps the bandaid around her finger carelessly, as if his skin upon her skin wasn't a prayer. She bruises her shin in volleyball practice and sits at Oliver's feet while he rubs the pain away in her neck carelessly, as if his skin upon her skin wasn't a blasphemer's ruse dragging her into darkness
( ... )
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WANTED IT, BUT I DID AND NOW ITS HERE AN ITS AMAZING.
THEA AND HOW SHE'S ALWAYS FALLING FOR HER BROTHER(S) AND HOW SOMEHOW BLOOD IS MIXED IN WITH EVERYTHING. WITH WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY MEAN AND HOW IT MAKES HER SEE OLIVER DIFFERENTLY IN HER EYES AND HOW THEY BITE INTO HER SKIN AND SHE TEARS INTO THERE'S. BECAUSE THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS JUST AS MUCH ABOUT PAIN AS IT IS ABOUT LOVE.
AND AND AND-- SHE LETS MALCOLM TRAIN HER BUT THEN SHE KILLS HIM HERSELF (THE STUDENT DEFEATS THE TEACHER) AND HOW SHE TAKES ALL THOSE THINGS SHE'S LEARNED BACK WITH HER TO GAIN OLIVER'S ATTENTION. SHE'S DONE WAITING, SO SHE DRESSES HERSELF UP IN WHITE, WHEN IT SHOULD PROBABLY BE IN BLACK, AND THEY FIGHT AND THEN THEY KISS AND THEN SHE'S CLIMBING THROUGH THE WINDOW (A FAMILY TRAIT) AND SHE FORCES EVERYTHING INTO THE LIGHT.
AND I JUST LOVE IT ALL.
YOU SHOULD WRITE ALL THE THEA THINGS EVER. if you know all the capslocks didn't you know, prove that.have i mentioned i love
( ... )
THE WAY YOU WRITE THEA (AND TOMMY AND EVERYONE ELSE) NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME HAPPY.
YOU CAPTURE HER SO PERFECTLY.
I'M HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT IT CAN STILL HAPPEN, THAT THERE'S TIME AND THAT ITS BASICALLY REVEALED THAT HE HAD AN EVIL PLAN ALL ALONG AND THAT HE USED THE GOOD GUYS TO GET WHAT HE WANTED. SO YOU KNOW THERE'S NO MORE HANDWAVING VIA THE WRITING IMO. OR THERE SHOULDN'T BE. SO YOU KNOW, ONE DAY THE STUDENT WILL APPEAR AND SHOOT THE TEACHER DOWN (THREE TIMES) AND THEN GIVE THE RING TO NYSSA TO TAKE OVER AS LEADER.
