He’s making his way up the stairs to find @tenebrisheres.bsky.social. “Dad, I’m gonna need you to make some kind of noise so I know you’re still alive.”

He’s slipping into the house to visit his dad, and he’s immediately examining the blood stained tissues and handkerchiefs, before he spotted @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social in the kitchen. “What’s going on here…?” He asked her out loud.

Please don’t kill his dad . .

He’s going out for a drink, and he probably won’t come back . .

He knows he can’t begin to imagine what his father did to her, and knows she’s not ready to talk about it or to be touched. But he’s worried about how much she’s drinking, he thinks maybe she needs to go see someone . . @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

As soon as they got home, he went straight up to run her a soothing, but steaming hot bath. God knows she’d need it after that time with his father. @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

She better tell Edward that if he ever runs into him, he’s a dead man. @darkinterlude.bsky.social

Finding a locked room upstairs, he forced the door open with his shoulder and burst inside. “Annie? Baby? I’m here, I’m going to take you home.” He called out quietly so he didn’t startle her. @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

There’s a gun in his back pocket, and a knife in his hand, he’s bursting into the new house in search of Annie. “Hand her over and no one gets hurt.” @tenebrisheres.bsky.social

Can she meet him for lunch? He needs to find know if she knows where Annie is . . @darkinterlude.bsky.social

He’s starting to worry because she hasn’t come home yet . . @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

He’s got that bad feeling again . .

“So . .” Mischievous smirk, as he pounced on @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social. “Should we start trying for a family before or after the wedding?”

Sighing as he picked up the phone to call @tenebrisheres.bsky.social .

He’s sitting anxiously in the waiting room, he could use her presence right now. @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

Putting @tenebrisheres.bsky.social down in a wheelchair once they were inside the emergency department, he just shook his head. “You know you brought this on yourself? You can’t just terrorise someone else’s girlfriend without there being consequences.”

He’s hated this house ever since his mother died in its walls, but he’s walking in and making his way up to @tenebrisheres.bsky.social’s quarters. “I know what you did to her.” He simply stated as soon as he shut the door.

That’s all he fucking needs . .

He needs her right now . . @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

His hands are shaking in anger over the letter he just received from his father.

He’s quietly coming in to sit beside her. @darkinterlude.bsky.social “Annie said you need money to keep your useless father happy.”

He’s window shopping for . . Jewellery, but he has no idea where to start.

He’s nervously preparing for his surgery.

He’s storming in and going straight for a drink. “I hope you’re happy.” He muttered as he walked past @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social to get to the kitchen.

He can’t pretend he isn’t missing Annie, he he hasn’t seen her since he went out to drink . .

He just wants a break from the constant headaches, so he’s wandering into a rundown bar and sitting in the dark corner.

His headaches are flaring up again, and he can’t find his pain meds. So he’s sitting in a dark corner of the living room with his head buried between his knees because she’s not here to help him. @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

He can’t be, he just can’t be . .

He knows that face . .

He can’t remember, there was someone . .

He’s trying desperately to move his fingers and open his eyes, but nothing’s happening.

He doesn’t know where he is, but he can’t move . .

He knows where she is. @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

He hasn’t moved from a chair he moved to face the front door since he found out what his bad feeling was about. And he won’t move, not until she comes back . . @darkinterlude.bsky.social

He’s had a bad feeling all day, like his world is going to fall apart . .

Why is she so determined to see him off with the girl his father is paying to be with him? @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

He just wants this day to be over . .

They’ll be talking about this later. @forbiddenfeels.bsky.social

He needs another party, and he doesn’t care if they trash his new mansion . .

Just know if she ever tries to darken his mother’s name again, she will regret it.

Only Annie understands . .

Don’t talk about his mother, she would actually be proud he’s not letting himself be pushed into doing something he doesn’t want to do.

That’s the smartest thing she’s said since he met her.

Just don’t be surprised if his useless father contacts her offering more money. He thinks it solves everything.

Good, he doesn’t need her anyway. He doesn’t need anyone.

Only Annie knows about the dreams where his mum is still here . .
