Depression didn't suit her. She didn't like the feeling of darkness seeping into her heart. But there was no pushing this away. It wasn't going anywhere no matter how hard she pushed against it. The lust still clung on with tooth and nail too, but it was taking back seat at the moment.
Was that all there was for her? One rejection after another? Jake, Pike... Robin. Three strikes was a little much for the little school teacher to handle. She hadn't cried over the first two, she could understand them to an extent. She understood Robin's rejection too, but for some reason it hurt worse than the first two had.
What was so wrong with her? Sure she was boyish, but enough so to be unattractive? Was it the fact that she was nice? Was it the frankness? Someone had to have the answers. There was no one to ask. They were all busy screwing each other. Before she would have begged for a drinking partner. The fact that Eliot was gone stung that much more.
So there she was seeking refuge away from them all. Her capris were rolled up almost to her knee, though the tips of her toes barely stroked the surface of the water, as she swung her legs. The plain tee shirt fit snugly, and had been washed enough that it was soft and one of her favorites. Her long dark chestnut hair was hanging free in her face.
She buried herself into her thoughts, it wasn't the first time she had wished Claire and Pike would have let her bury a few of her friends rather than burn them. She could have stood to talk to Johnston, even if he were underground. Now she'd just be talk to herself if she tried, crazy was up there on her list of why she was unattractive, so she didn't want to show it to anyone who hadn't seen it just yet.
Though she couldn't help but mumble. "Maybe I should just become the crazy cat lady of Ridgeway and just give up."
