Drowning ✔

17

That night, Lola was particularly lost. So, she was finally able to put a name to her face. The red haired girl was Victoria.

She closes her eyes as she recalls Riley's pleadings of not becoming protective over him. He knows that she will go into best friend mode within a second and start viciously barking at her to make sure she was suitable for him.

Only the best could be with her brother.

However, she still couldn't help but feel off. It's always been the two of them. She was always supporting him with his problems as Riley was the only one who knew about her death anxiety. Not even her mother was aware she was having this issues.

She remembers all those nights Riley bawled his eyes out and came to Lola for comfort. What if that will change? Will Victoria replace her? Will the only person who ever cared this much leave her?

The demon flies into her mind, gently caressing her as they throw any distracting thought away.

This time, she welcomes him like an old friend and submerges beneath the water willingly.
