i. schlatt left her. he's gone.
                          
not without a bang, of course. no, he's careful to shout and scream and tear down every bit of self esteem she's been clinging on to desperately in the past months. but, after the deed is done, he scarpers. coward.
                          
he was kind enough to leave behind her heart, though. trampled and broken and cheated out of happiness more times than she can count. her parents always told her she'd never keep a man and as bitter as the ancient bastards are, minx is worried they just might be right.
                          
after the door slammed for the final time, her knees finally gave and and she fell to the floor, shaking and crying and pleading to a forgotten god to take away her pain. her vision was spotty, her limbs cold and, for the first time, minx wondered what death felt like. 
                          
she lay there, beaten and decaying with a halo round her head, for eons. schrödinger in state, she is slowly phasing in and out of reality, dead and alive and nothing and everything all at once.
                          
at some point, she becomes aware of a soft, fuzzy noise hovering at the edge of her consciousness. it gets gradually louder until the shouting is practically unbearable and she groans slightly as it assults her brain relentlessly. she just wants to sleep, goddamnit. just let her sleep.
                          
"becca, if you don't let me in right now, I'm breaking down the fucking door."
                          
somewhere in her sluggish brain, the deep voice registers and she chokes a little when she realises because shit, fate really isn't smiling on her today.
                          
alastair is going to see her like this. lying in a puddle of her own spit and tears with melted mascara crusting her eyes to the point of blindness. she's lost everything that meant anything to her today, bar her dignity. and now she's not even allowed that.
                          
she sobs, quietly, mourning. there's a sickening crunch as her best friend rams their shoulder into the door and a muffled curse at the bright burst of pain they must have endured. they're injuring themselves, all for her and it makes her want to slap them and kiss them and never talk to them again. she's not worth it.
