melody didn’t even care to listen. NOT really. she had heard the same words from the day she and dimitri got caught for stealing medicine for their sick friend. she had heard the same words when they saw each other in the sky box. she shouldn’t be here. and yet here she was, like every other time, right besides her friend. “then where should i be? up there? confined to a place where there is no green like this? where the oxygen i breathe seems so FRESH that i can’t help but smile. the past is in the past, lettie. i’m here.” she reached out and laced her fingers with the other and smiled. “WITH YOU, like i always will be. “
she pulls her hand back, crossing her arms to secure herself from the other’s touch – she knows too well the comfort that they bring her, the familiarity of it. guilt shines brightly in her eyes, and she moves her head from one side to the other, not believing the words that come out of her lips ( she believes it though - no one other than melody could have such a passion for oxygen and plants ). “what about your mother? and your father? what about adam? you were sent here to DIE. we were all sent here to die and you—you shouldn’t be here, you shouldn’t have stolen that medicine, you—-you’re so much BETTER than this place.”
