rochelle huffs a breath out through her nose , a bitter little laugh catching in her throat as she leans slightly into claire’s touch—not enough to seem needy , just enough to acknowledge it . fingers twitch against the grip of her submachine gun , the safety already off . she’s trying not to grind her teeth .
" little bit ain’t enough time to fix how fucked this all is , " rochelle mutters , eyes flicking toward the barred window as thunder grumbles low in the distance . " but i'll take it . "
she pulls away gently , running both hands down her jeans to wipe the clammy sweat off her palms . posture’s tight—shoulders squared , jaw clenched—but her voice stays low , steady .
" i thought savannah was bad , but this ? feels like déjà vu with more teeth . "
━ continued from here for @levelhcaded .
OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW , claire is begging the weather gods to not let it rain. but there is a loose strand of hair falling in and out of her eyes simply because the wind is vicious -- A STORM IS BREWING . nothing like a horrendous downpour to really tie together the fact they are now surviving another outbreak. AGAIN .
claire's hand reaches up to cradle rochelle's jawline , mostly just to take a look to see if everything is good -- she just pauses. CLAIRE'S HEAD TURNS TO SWIVEL TOWARDS THE DOOR . then slowly turns back to the one window in the room. they're still relatively secure for now. that window has bars , that door is heavy metal. IT'S SORT OF A SAFE ROOM . until they leave.
" yeah , it's a lot. we have a little bit to find composure. "

𝜗𝜚 ⠀𝗕𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗙 𝗠𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗕 ﹔ enemies to lovers sentence starters . please like or reblog if you plan on using . don’t claim as your own .
I wasn't expecting you to be you.
did we just have our first fight?
aren't you tired of all of this?
do you think you're the only one capable of getting hurt?
please, nothing frightens you.
aren't you tired of all of this?
most of all, I hate you because I think of you. often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop.
you can die slowly cut into a thousand pieces.
i could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.
have I told you how hideous you look tonight?
if you hurt me, I wouldn't cry. I would hurt you back.
i am going to keep on defying you.
i hate you so much that sometimes I can't think of anything else.
my sweet nemesis, how glad I am that you returned.
you really are terrible, you know that? I don't even understand why the things you say make me smile.
these violent delights have violent ends.
kiss me or kill me, you can't do both.
if i cannot have your love, i will have your fury.
you can't do it. you can't kill me.
you know what the worst part was? pretending I loved you.
you are cruel even in love. i ought to hate you.
I'd spend a lifetime at the tip of your blade, and it would be worth it.
so that's why you so readily agreed. know your enemy, right?
the most worthwhile and difficult lesson is to love your enemy. they're often a reflection of you.
i'll take anything over days of silence.
you may not think I can feel, but that doesn't mean I can't see feelings in others.
you’ve changed me for the better, and even if you left me, I would still have that.
how swiftly you dismiss our love.
i am not the love you knew before.
would you fall in love with me again if you knew all I've done?
hurt more lives than I can count on my hands but all of that was to bring me back to you.
I couldn't let you sacrifice yourself for me.
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he could be wicked and wouldn't.
as sick as it sounds, i loved you first.
do you think that I want to be in this position? contending with these thoughts of wanting to be nowhere except with you.
even when I didn't like you, I lusted for you. It's the most maddening, beguiling, damnable thing, but there it is.
you are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires.
I have never met anyone like you. It is maddening, how much you consume my very being.
all the horrors were for love.
what are you going to do to me?

rochelle exhales sharply through her nose , closing her eyes for a second as she gathers what little patience she has left . she loves ellis—truly , she does—but adding another hyperactive boy into the mix ? it’s like putting gasoline on an already raging fire .
she pinches the bridge of her nose before cutting keith off . '' keith , '' she says , voice firm but not unkind , '' i am real happy that you two got your reunion going on , but i swear , if you don’t keep your voice down , we're gonna have more than just zombies crashing this party . ''
-- @nostalgicmemcries liked for a starter .
'' oh my gosh . . . '' rochelle sighs , pressing a hand to her forehead in exasperation . ever since keith had reunited with ellis and joined their group , it felt like her headaches had doubled in intensity . dealing with ellis's antics was one thing , but adding keith into the mix ? it was almost too much to handle .
taking a deep breath , she steadies herself before speaking , '' keith , can you please calm down ? '' she asks , tone patient but firm , hoping—perhaps in vain—that he would actually listen this time .

“Will you stay with me? Just until I fall asleep?”
“I’m sorry, I’m just—I’m just really tired.”
“I don’t need a break. I’m okay.”
“It was my fault. It was all my fault.”
“I think I need help.”
“So, I don’t think I’m dying, or anything, and it’s probably not that serious, but… I’m kinda bleeding. A lot.”
“Is the room spinning right now, or is that just me?”
“No, I’m okay, I just… I hit my head. Really hard. I’ll be okay, just give me a second.”
“I’m not sick! I’m fine!”
“No, I don’t think any of my bones are broken, or anything like that. Just bad bruises.”
“Yeah, but you should see the other guy.”
“I’m fine. This just happens sometimes. It’s normal for me.”
“I’ve got a headache.”
“Seriously, though, I’m fine! Stop making such a big deal out of it!”
“I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time. I don’t need your help, and I definitely don’t need your pity. Fuck off.”
“Please tell me I don’t look as bad as I feel.”
“I think I’m running a fever.”
“So, what’s the prognosis, Doc? Am I gonna live?”
“Stop fussing over me! I’m not a baby!”
“Can I stay with you tonight? I just… really don’t want to be alone right now.”
“No, I-I’m okay. It was just a nightmare. Go back to sleep.”
“I… can’t actually remember the last time I had something to eat.”
“You shouldn’t be here. You’ll get sick, too.”
THE COMFORT:
“Honey, have you been crying? What is it? What’s wrong?”
“I think you’d better take a break.”
“It’s not your fault, sweetheart. You did everything you could.”
“You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m right here for you if you’ll just let me in.”
“There’s nothing wrong with you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Don’t ever let yourself believe that there is.”
“You really don’t realize just how many people love you, do you?”
“If you’re not going to take care of yourself, at least let me do it for you!”
“I’m sorry. I know it hurts.”
“You’re not alone, baby. You never have been.”
“Let’s get you some food.”
“You’re dead on your feet, poor thing. Come on, you need some sleep.”
“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.”
“Tell me where it hurts.”
“How many times have I told you to be more careful?!”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m right here, okay? I’m not gonna leave you. I’m never gonna leave you.”
“Oh, honey, you’re safe now. I promise. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”
“Go ahead and take a shower. I’ll fix you something to eat.”
“What happened to you, baby?”
“I’ll kill that bastard. I’ll kill him for what he did to you.”
“You look like shit, man.”
“Whoa, whoa, take it easy! You got pretty banged up back there, and you don’t want to go making yourself worse.”
“I’m not trying to baby you. It’s called taking care of my friends.”
“Sweetheart, you’re burning up! Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were sick?”
