i'll  stay  until  you  fall  asleep.

you're  not  a  burden.  not  to  me.

you  don't  have  to  act  tough  with  me.

let  me  help.

if  you  need  to  cry,  i'll  look  the  other  way.

you  don't  have  to  talk.

let  me  handle  it,  just  for  a  minute.

rest,  i'll  watch  over  you.

i  don't  care  if  you  think  you're  fine.  i'm  staying.

deep  breaths.

just  lean  on  me.

you're  safe  now,  okay?  just  breathe.

i  know  it  hurts.  i'll  sit  here  as  long  as  it  takes.

i'm  not  leaving  until  i  know  you're  okay.

you  don't  need  to  hide.

let  me  take  care  of  you  this  time.

shh.  i'm  right  here.

you  don't  have  to  put  on  a  smile  for  me.

i  don't  think  less  of  you.

i'll  be  here  when  you  wake  up.

you're  allowed  to  lean  on  me.  that's  what  i'm  here  for.

you  don't  have  to  be  okay.

scoot  over,  i'm  not  letting  you  sleep  alone.

your  hair's  a  mess.  let  me  brush  it.

don't  apologize.

cared  for.

i'm  tired,  that's  all.

please  don't  go.

i  don't  know  what  i  need.

you  didn't  need  to  come.

you  shouldn't  have  to  see  me  like  this.

i  hate  feeling  like  this.

i  was  trying  to  push  through.  i  think  i  made  it  worse.

this  is  so  embarrassing.

can  you  just...  stay  a  little  longer?

i  didn't  think  anyone  would  notice...

i'm  not  safe  in  my  own  head  right  now.

why  are  you  being  so  gentle  with  me?

i  don't  want  you  to  fix  me.

today's  just...  one  of  the  harder  days.

i  didn't  know  i  needed  to  hear  that.

can  you  stay?  after  i  fall  asleep?

sorry.  i  didn't  mean  to  flinch.

i  don't  always  know  what's  going  to  help.

this  is  the  nicest  anyone’s  been  to  me  all  week.

i'm  sorry.  i  know  i'm  a  lot.

i  don't  even  know  why  i'm  crying...

i  think  i'm  broken.

you  didn't  have  to  do  all  this  for  me.

i  don't  want  to  be  a  burden.

i  didn't  think  anyone  would  stay.

*    ━━     A   HITCH   OF   BREATH   ON   CUE,    then   painful   silence.    MAGNOLIA   found   herself   at   a   loss   of   words,   mouth   agape   as   if   compelled   to   immediately   answer   him   though   none   formed   outside   her   head.     she   couldn't.   wouldn't.      it   was   too   much   of   an   open   wound   to   even   consider   doing   so.

                      PLEASE   DON'T   SAY   YOU   LOVE   ME.

the   plea   stands   on   the   tip   of   her   tongue   again,   and   again;    trying   to   force   its   way   out,   especially   once   she   closes   and   turns   her   head   away   from   him.    eyes   half   lidded   while   staring   at   the   vast   field.   they've   been   meeting   here   in   private   early   mornings,   she   can't   go   through   this   song   and   dance   anymore.   no   matter   how   many   times   he   offers   the   chance.    exhaling   with   closed   eyes   leaves   a   bitter   taste,   an   unspoken   broken   promise   from   an   even   more   broken   woman.

bury me at makeout creek sentence starters

THE WORDS BLINDSIDE WALLY. Confused hurt pangs his chest, derailing his thought process. What implied he loved Maggie? What implied he didn’t? Her rejection stings for reasons unbeknownst to him. His wide eyes flicker across Maggie’s face for a reason, a clue, but he doesn’t understand.

THAT IS WHY THEY’RE IN THIS PREDICAMENT. For all his efforts, Wally simply cannot predict Maggie. Her sad eyes filled with another emotion he can’t name, her tight smiles, her gentle words, all pieces of a jigsaw he doesn’t know. Yet he still finds pieces in the most unexpected places. Is he a piece? Is love a piece?

“What . . . is love?” He asks, tilting his head slightly. “To you?”

SOIL   AND   VARIOUS   LEAVES   CAKE   HER   HAIR,   HER   CLOTHES,   AND   HER   FABRIC;   IT   WAS   A   SICKENING   SIGHT.   a   kicked   dog,   scared   and   trembling,  she   stares   down   at   the   floor.   watching   every   particle   of   dirt   leaving   her   puffed   and   now   beyond   wrinkled   dress   with   each   shift   she   made   on   her   feet.     those   same   sad   eyes   lift   up   to   her   husband   upon   his   unneeded   apology  ..   she   shakes   her   head,   violently   brushing   a   hand   against   her   eye   as   if   deserving   of   such   pain;   solely   to   wipe   them   before   any   more   tears   threatened   to   fall.   a   sniffle,   and   a   dejected   glance   to   the   world   around   them   before   landing   back   on   him.   looking   past   him,   unable   to   meet   his   eyes.

❛   I   called   you   a   coward   ..   ❜      another   sniffle,   maggie   quickly   wipes   her   nose   with   her   hand   despite   the   lack   of   any   substance,   cringing   at   every   memory   she   had   before   they   parted   ways,     ❛   I   lashed   out   at   you,   and   I   hurt   you--   more   than   i   should've  ..  I   just..  ❜

regardless   of   her   previous   attempt   to   avoid   crying   more,   magnolia   lets   out   a   sob.   shriveling   up   with   a   dusted   hand   flat   on   her   mouth;   beginning   to   tremble   even   harsher   than   before.    she   looks   up   at   the   sky,   cursing   under   her   breath   to   whoever   may   be   listening--   if   they   were   listening   at   all.    then   she   pulls   herself   together   enough   to   continue,   ❛    I    don't   understand   why   you   even   remotely   still     ..   ❜

HOW   COULD   YOU   STILL   LOVE   ME   AFTER   WHAT   HAPPENED  ?

the   thought   was   enough   to   crack   her,   covering   her   entire   face;   unable   to   stifle   any   sobs   that   leave  her   body   wracked   with   grief..     ❛   I   should   be   the   one   apologizing,   I   caused   this  !   I   caused   all   of   this..   ❜

THEY TRIED TO BURY HER. Under dirt and stone, encased for as long as they pleased, disregarding her, soiling her—Wally wasn’t made with a heart, but it pounds between his ears. There’s no blood soaking his stuffing, but it rushes to his head. He’s enraged, so angry he could hear static. This feeling is foreign, unlike any passion he’s felt before.

YET IT DIMINISHES AT MAGGIE’S WORDS. In an instant, his furrowed brows and hard eyes soften. “Maggie . . .” His voice breaks along with his heart. He missed her. His pounding heart pangs with her loss. Over the years in the void, he thought he made peace with leaving everything behind, but seeing her . . . How could he be so blind? Gently, as if she were made of glass, Wally cups Maggie’s face.

“I’m sorry.”
