Brienne O'Dale ⚜ Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head, Dredging the Great White Sharks, swimming in the bed, And here comes a Killer Whale, to sing me to sleep, Thrashing the covers off, it has me by it's teeth. And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said? I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did? Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build this ship to wreck? ⚜ | ||||
Brienne finds herself struggling to breath, it feels as if a vice is wrapping around her neck and it's being tightened with every passing second. Anxiety, Brienne didn't want to feel happy, she didn't want to feel better. She wanted to wash herself in the pain she felt with every second of every waking moment; it was demanded to be felt, so she wanted to feel it. But sometimes, the pain would become too much and she'd drown it with alcohol. Booze which she'd stollen from her foster mother, booze she had brewed herself in the bathtub, it mad her dreadfully sick and drunk but Brienne didn't give a damn. It was on days, where the pain drowned her, that she just wanted to forget it anyway. Today- oh today- the pain was worse than any day before- but Brienne had yet to touch the booze- since the funeral, since she'd watched her baby sister take her final breaths. The thought sickened Brienne and she tried to wipe it from her mind but today- Oh fucking today- she couldn't forget because here she stood, by the side of the stage in the square outside the college, waiting to meet this years victor. Some kid from 11, she hadn't cared to learn his name. She didn't care for anyone but Gabrielle, but she was gone. Tears welled in Brienne's eyes at the mention of her sister. A flash of that last breath crossed her mind and the tears began to slip down her cheeks silently. She knew that this kid didn't have anything to do with Gabrielle's death- heck she didn't even know he existed until he'd won and thats all everyone could talk about- but she still resented him. Why did you live and not my baby sister? Brienne took a shakey breath inwards and closed her eyes, hugging Buddy to her chest as the speech aimlessly continued. She blocked out the noise as best she could, in all truth she didn't want to be here, she didn't want to be anywhere except locked away in her room where no one would bother her. The crowd began to clap, signalling that the speech- the ceremony- was over. Thank fucking finally Brienne thought to herself, sourly, as she glanced at the other familes around her- those of Geo Venn and Wyatt O'Connor- who clapped gently too. Brienne didn't bother, she just continued to clutch her prized bear to her chest as tightly as she could; if she smelt him, she could smell Gabrielle. But I can also smell her blood. Brienne kept her distance, seperating herself from the other familes; she didn't want to talk to the victor if she didn't have too. | ||||
