𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 clementine beniot has an astonishing amount of love flowing out of her at all times. and all she wants is to give her affection away.
unfortunately for her, her shit bag of a boyfriend broke up with he...
"what the fuck are you doing to make him not trust you?"
"did you flirt with your male friends without even knowing?"
these thoughts would float through her head, making her pull her hair and crawl up on the plush couch just wanting to be better. and the part that always made her heart break and salty tears flow down her cheeks, was that he would always confirm the outlandish beliefs.
he doesn't trust you. "i don't trust you, clem."
why doesn't he trust you? "i just- cant. alright? it's all your doing and i don't know how to start."
what the fuck are you doing to make him not trust you? "you just hang out with that stupid dylan friend of yours too much. he's always looking at you in a way that i don't like, and you never do anything to stop it!"
did you flirt with your male friends without even knowing? "and you're always batting your eyes at them! you're such a fucking attention seeker, that it's crazy, clementine."
this would always happen, it was not new. a cycle of wounding words, sharp as knifes, aimed at clementine with the intent to hurt her. and they always did. because clementine was a weak little girl who needed others in order to function.
well, that's what he told her at least, and she believed it. because even though the toxic phrases that he would spew to make her his puppet on a string were all wrong, she didn't know that. he was just that good at being a manipulator. he could fool anyone.
anyone except the pretty woman named sage naff.
she had always been suspicious about the horrible man; that he wasn't what clementine described him to be. for a while, sage believed that he was a good guy. until one day when she was lounging on the couch, and just barely heard the delicate and heartbreaking pleads of clem to her boyfriend; practically begging him to quiet down his yelling so that sage wouldn't hear.
a couple minutes later, she decided that she had heard enough, and barged into the room nearly spitting venom at the man to get his ass out of there, and never come back. after an intense yelling battle between the best friend and the boyfriend, he eventually left.
sage then turned to her defeated best friend who had broken sobs running throughout her body. her eyes were puffy and red- looking like glass- with a thin layer of tears coating them. brunette hair that was usually fixed in neat waves, was frizzy and notty, from her fingers running though it, in hopes of letting go of built-up stress. it seemed that if you gave her just one sympathetic look, she would break.
and she did. she practically crumbed in sage's warm arms, haven't been given affection in such a long amount of time, longing for the feeling of love and finally feeling it in sage's fragile hug.
and then finally clementine comes back to reality.
apparently, while she was reminiscing on the bad times of her life, her roommate found her frozen up on the floor. she was heaving, trying to find air in her lungs whilst having a panic attack. sage kept trying to help clem breathe, trying the breathing exercises that they've practiced with her. they didn't work though, because clem was mentally in a different world.
after a few more rounds of box-breathing, clementine was finally able to find oxygen in her lungs.
"what happened clem?" sage asked hesitantly with a caring undertone, careful not to send the girl into another panic attack.
"i don't know, but please never leave me again," clementine begged, whilst tightly gripping onto her forearm.
and in that moment, sage made a silent promise to always be there for the girl, through thick and thin. she's always been there for her, but now it was a promise that she never intends to break.
