LJ: (no subject)

After Will leaves Skylah's room after saying he didn't love her, she sat down on her bed. That moment - and I've been in that moment - sucks more than most moments in life. There's this piece of furniture that once may have been just a place to crash, maybe read a book, but general do very little in. Then it becomes a place imbued with an astounding intimacy. Then, the argument, the incident, whatever it was that caused them to leave, and you're full in the shock of the moment of them leaving, that awful empty feeling in your stomach? it's a physical pain. And your vision's blurry because you're crying so hard, and the lights are on and they seem awfully bright because just a few minutes ago things were perfect in the darkness, and now she's gone, and the light is hurting your eyes and you're not sure what you should do, and you see that piece of furniture. And you look at it and it's like you've just relived that awful moment again, because there you are back at the bed, where you were just minutes before, but now you have to sit there because that pit in your stomach makes it difficult to stand. But before you sit down, there's the moment where you see the bed, and where you were and what you've lost in the moments since you were last in it.
