For Priestly

Aug 28, 2011 20:36

It's been a few days, now. Rachel's finally crawled out of her own ass long enough to wonder about Priestly. Brooke was Rachel's rock. Her best friend. Her savior. Her minder. But Priestly was in love with her. She's not sure who's grieving harder but she knows that when she lays down at night, she's got strong arms holding her together and ( Read more... )

Priestly hears her, but it takes him a few moments to respond. It takes him a few extra moments to do anything lately, the whole world around him feeling dull and distant without Brooke in it. But he does finally get up and kick the ladder over, because it's Rachel. There are only a handful of people who were allowed to breach his seclusion right now, but she's one of them.

It takes a bit of maneuvering to haul herself, the food, and her potential fetus up the ladder but she manages, even if she's a bit red faced and puffing by the time she reaches the top.

She actually does have him cornered, now that she's up in the treehouse, and Priestly's not even sure he could outrun her right now even though the climb seems to have taken a lot out of her. So he just shrugs and sits back down on the floor again, like he's waiting for something to happen that'll make everything right again even though he knows there's no such thing.

It probably looks a little pathetic, but he's having trouble motivating himself to do anything else.

"Right," she says, settling down across from him. She pulls out a hunk of soft bread and some cheese, easy to digest but with like, nutrients or some shit.

"Priestly, you don't have to talk to me, but I'm going to stay here until you eat something. I know you don't want to but you can't just fade away."
