My Head Was Under Water

Indy spoke softly to her, explaining himself gently as he tried desperately to turn her attentions around. To soothe her without descending back into self destructive tendencies. As he looked into her eyes though, Duchess rejected it all. She didn’t want help she wanted relief and Indigo couldn’t give that to her. He wanted her to build herself back up, and this wasn’t the way. To his sorrow Duchess pulled herself away from him.

She turned. From soft, sweet, and needy, to coarse and upset. He could hear the strain and hurt in her voice as she pulled herself away from violently. She didn’t need him. Indigo reached out for her as she turned to flee but she was already gone. Indigo had already lost her a long time ago, now they both knew it. Indigo wanted to help her, he wanted to heal the broken girl he’d met, But Duchess wouldn’t let him. He’d failed the first time and he wouldn’t be given a second chance.

Indigo watched her go as tears filled his eyes. It wasn’t so long ago that they had been so happy together. Now all that was left between them was pain and heartbreak. Indigo mourned for who she could have been, instead of the broken creature that left him there. The massive maned brute put his head back on his paws and sighed heavily as he blinked back his emotions and tried not to let himself get swept away again.
