35 [Accidental Voice/Text]

[somethingspecial]

[There is a tinkling of piano -- a few stray notes -- a few casual scales -- before Rachel tries to sing softly to herself. It's obvious that she's crying. Her breath keeps hitching as she tries to hold back sobs, but Rachel, being Rachel, tries anyway.

The opening chords should be pretty familiar to anyone who has any taste in theatre who knows Rachel.]

Oh, my man I love him so -- he'll never know... all my life is just despair, but I don't care...when he takes me in his arms, the world is bright... alright...

[Her breath hitches and Rachel abruptly stops singing, drawing in a shaky breath, before she tries to continue -- but it just ends in another sob and the feed shuts off abruptly.

There is, however, a text sent afterwards.]

Jesse went home.

In French, we say 'je suis désolée'; 'désolé' originating in the verb 'désoler' which literally means to destroy or to torment. As such, Mademoiselle Berry, I am pained on your behalf.

[somethingspecial]

That is oddly fitting.

[text]

[unreadability]

Quite. It is how sorrow affects us, isn't it? Indirectly as well.

I may never see him again.

[genkireaper]

I'm sorry. Do you want some company, Rachel?

[Text]

[somethingspecial]

No. Not this time.

[Text]

[genkireaper]

I understand. Maybe he'll come back? I heard people do that. There was that Katara girl, after all.

Rachel...

[If there was ever a time she wished her Grace back, it would be now. At least then she could intrude on the girl and offer comfort- because Angels intrude and that's always a good thing. ... Right?]

[It's only because there is a filter that Rachel does not text Anna. That and it's Anna. Texting her would be more than mildly rude.

But Rachel is struggling to catch her breath. When she cries, she cries. She's not really the sort of person to hold that kind of stuff in.

Which is why Rachel suddenly becomes angry.]

It isn't fair!

[There's a hiccup and the ugly sound of mashed piano keys as Rachel tries to get a grip on herself.]

Why did they both have to go home and leave me here, I would never do that to them!

[She doesn't flinch, although the piano slam is a little jarring.]

I don't think anyone chooses when to leave. [And more than ever, she wishes she still had the power to do what she liked. She could send Rachel home with her friends, her family. But she can't.]

Rachel...

I'll come over if you want to be with someone.

[She lost someone, too, recently; she knows how Rachel must be feeling.]

[Text]

[somethingspecial]

I think I would rather be alone.

I'm sorry to hear that.



-=Yep. Happiness only happens fleetingly.=-

text

[somethingspecial]

It was doomed from the start.

[Even the very, very, very start. Rachel isn't stupid. But that doesn't make the pain any less.]

text

[saintedsinner]

Yes, it was.


-=Not one to coddle people.=-


As long as you move on, it won't be such a bad thing.

[Have a sad Bubbles, Rachel :(]

I'm sorry, Rachel. I know you liked him a lot.

[Text]

[somethingspecial]

I loved him.

[Voice]

[serenadesdragon.livejournal.com]

Would you like some company, Rachel?

[They're both dealing with the pain of losing the one you love. They can help each other through this.]

[Voice]

[somethingspecial]

[Blaine gets a public voice feed.]

... I suppose.

That's it. I'm coming over and I'm bringing my flask.

[Rachel is so startled by the request that Hanna actually gets a glimpse of what Rachel looks like -- which is, quite frankly, sort of terrible. Her hair is something of a mess and her eyes are bloodshot and puffy from the sobbing she's been doing since discovering Jesse's PCD was offline.]

... your what?

[thelonegenin]

[MOARPIANOWHUT-- Oh.]

... Sorry.

[somethingspecial]

Me too.
