Stitching
Her father arrived shortly after she did, her ears pressing to her head as she looked at the ground. Yes, she had tried...but it wasn't enough. The question that rang in her head was why? After her father told her she tried, the question burst forth. "Why did she do it? Was she not happy with us?" That question was said with a cracked voice, the thought that her mother wasn't happy with them...was that why?
Then what her father said shocked her. She listened quietly, even when her brother and sister spoke. Riv was against the idea, and Eponine was on her father's side. Holly returned her gaze to the ground, her body shaking as she tried to hold it together. Why did he feel the need to do it? Mom had been the one to challenge, not the other man. And her mom had done it, knowing she wouldn't win with her disabilities. "Why!? Mom challenged him, and because of her you're going to go and do the same thing!? That's not fair! I...I can't..." Her voice shook and cracked, tears falling. Why was her father going to leave them too? She couldn't bear it. Without a second glance, she got up and ran past him. She couldn't do it...she couldn't watch her father kill himself too. As for staying in going? She couldn't think about that now.
