vi. whiskeys supposed to drown the memory

[ tw// underaged drinking mentioned in this chapter! ]

"and the thing that really
gets me is how your memory
drowns the whiskey."

DIPPING HER HEAD BACK,
AND TAKING THE SHOT OF
WHISKEY,

finley flagged over buck to
pour more into her glass.

her finger skimmed the rim
of the shot glass, thinking about
how christmas was in two days
and she wasn't prepared for it.

"what are you doing here two?"
finley's voice was hoarse as she
glanced over, seeing twobit next to
her.

"i could ask you the same thing
finny."twobit shot back as he flagged
down buck for a beer.

she pressed her lips to the glass,
letting the burning sensation go down
her throat, and into her empty stomach.

"whiskey drowns the memories."
she told him, "if whiskey helps the
memories go away, then i drink the
whiskey."

"that's not gonna help and
we both know that."two sipped
his beer, looking dead ahead.

"if the memories of dal and i,
and that night are gone then it
helps."she muttered, and two sighed.

"i aint got nothing left two."
she looked over at him, "everything,
everyone i've ever loved is dead,
and so am i."

"you don't mean that finny."
two bits eyes softened, and
she nodded.

"dallas was the one person
who made me feel something
after my parents died. and now
he's dead."she explained, while
buck brought over a glass of whiskey.

"someone once said that death
isn't the greatest loss in life. the
greatest loss in life is what dies
inside of us while we live."she finished,
and twobit gave her a worried look.
"i was there, it was rare, and i
remember it all too well and i
don't want to anymore."she whispered,
feeling tears come to her eyes,
"i'm sick of waking up in the middle
of the night after having a memory
of dal and i and him not being there."

"don't let him or his memories
haunt you like that anymore.
you're the only one who can
control that."twobit told me,
and i shook my head.

"it's not that easy two."i whispered.

"dallas had a death wish and now so do i."
