Date: 2015-01-26 03:18 pm (UTC)I know you wouldn't. Your friends are your strength, right? And that strength shatters when you think they've been taken from you.
But they haven't been. You've sill got them right here.
[places a hand over his heart]
And as long as you don't forget, then they'll continue to give you strength. As long as you don't forget. . . nothing can ever take them from you, no matter how hard it tries.
[he's never really been one for friendship speeches, and that sound cheesy even to his own ears. but he believes it]

There's new rules, Roxy. But if you give up believing now... you'll never know. And I believe you can save them. This part of you wouldn't be here right now if there wasn't just a tiny bit of that belief left. I'm here to give you whatever you need to keep that part thriving. Not just existing.
Remember, there's more of us now, Roxy. Can't you feel them? All of the people who will stand with you and support you when you try again. We'll make it different. Together.

Date: 2015-01-26 03:23 pm (UTC)That's all it was for over fifteen YEARS. It was all I had, that hope that....that I would GET them, have them. That I could be happy. That I would have people who wanted me, who loved me, cared for me, actually SAW me, and valued me.
I had it. I had it, I had them, but then they were taken away after what? A few months?
[She sobs.] Even my mom...I had her in my arms. I thought....I thought I saved her, I thought I had her in time, but it was just a few more minutes.
Over fifteen years for a few months, a few minutes....

No one can blame you for hurting. For being angry. You have every right to yell and scream and cry about it.
No one will take that from you.
But you said you would never deny their existence. . . so as much as you cry, as much as you hurt. . . don't deny their existence by giving up.

Yeah. Me. Everyone else here. We're all ready to go the distance for you. I mean, this place is seriously fucked up. But we haven't given up on you. So you can't either.

How many.... [She looks towards where the ladder was.] Why?
