Conveniently Flawed (Drista Content) Complete

Crazy

"Well if you and Sapnap genuinely think she might kill herself, the vacation is over. She will need to be monitored." Dream started to become worried as well. He knew Drista had implied suicide multiple times during treatment. He had just assumed that it was empty phrases that didn't hold any meaning. Now he wondered if she was actually at risk.

"She deserves this vacation. I'm just saying...maybe you should come and keep an eye on her. I'll have to go to work again soon and honestly, I'm a bit nervous trusting Sapnap alone." Karl admitted that he didn't think Sapnap could keep her safe.

Dream took a deep breath. "I'll bring her home with me tonight, and talk to her. We'll be back tomorrow morning, and I guess I'll stay with her for the next week until you can take over again."

Karl nodded slowly, knowing it was probably a good idea. He and Sapnap would just need to come up with an excuse to tell the boys. They didn't need to know their adult concerns. "Sounds like a plan."

They went back to the car, and Dream opened Drista's door. "Hey, You're going to come home for tonight."

Drista looked confused. "Why?"

"I just want to talk to you. Me and you will go to the lake house tomorrow morning. It's getting late so I bet the boys will just go to sleep and not realize you're still gone." Dream reached for Bruno's leash and took him out of the car.

"No..." Drista absentmindedly covered her wrist, assuming this was about her tattoo.

"You're not in trouble." Dream assured her.

"Why do you want me to come home then?" Drista wasn't buying it.

"Just want to talk, okay? Nothing too serious, and you're not in trouble." Dream reached over and unclipped her seatbelt.

"Just get over my tattoo already..." Drista stayed stubborn.

Dream gave her a warning look. He was getting annoyed. "As upset as I am that you got a tattoo behind my back, it's not about that. Come on."

Drista got out, wondering now what else this could be about. "Goodnight and goodbye Karl..." She told Karl as he got back in the car.

"Goodbye, I'll see you tomorrow your majesty." Karl smiled to let her know no one was mad at her.

"I'm not crazy!" Drista shouted at her brother, while clearly in a bad episode that he somehow triggered.

"I never said you were crazy!" Dream shouted back, while holding her arms so she couldn't grab anything. She had threatened to grab a knife and cut herself.

"But you think I'm fucking insane, so same thing!" Drista kept trying to get away from him.

Dream restrained her tighter. "I never said that, calm down and I'll let you go!" He was terrified of letting her go, and then someone getting hurt. Most likely it would be herself.

Drista took some heavy breaths before calming down and allowing her brother to ease his hold on her. "You want to send me away, you think I'm crazy."

Dream shook his head and sighed at her. "Psych wards are for all kinds of things, not just 'crazy' people. Which is a bit insensitive by the way, considering I've been to one." Dream had suggested she spend some time in the mental hospital in the near future, if she was truly feeling suicidal.

"You might as well send me to jail! I'm not even suicidal!" Drista whined and tried to get her brother's hands off her.

"Look at me and tell me the truth." Dream all of a sudden let go of her completely, not wanting to continue to cross her lines.

Drista turned away from him completely. "I wasn't going to drown myself, Karl is dramatic. I just slipped and fell in the tub."

Dream nearly laughed. "I'm not stupid sis...look at me, it's okay. I'm here and I only want you to get better. I only suggested the mental hospital. You don't have to go, I was just recommending it. I know how scary it is to not want to live, so can you let me know a way I can help you?"

Drista turned around slowly and hugged him. "I don't know...I'm lost."

Dream wrapped his arms around her protectively. "I'm lost most days too, but it gets better eventually. I know you have a lot sitting on your chest. A lot has happened to you, so I understand why you might feel suicidal sometimes."

"I'm so ready to die...but so scared to die." Drista struggled to wrap her head around it.

"I was too. I was so scared, but I was ready to die. Thankfully I failed. If I didn't, I wouldn't of been around during your treatment." Dream was thankful that he lived to help his sister through her sickness.

"But I'm going to die one day anyway...and I'd rather take my own life, then let something else kill me." Drista shoved her face into Dream's chest as he leaned down to give her a better hug.

"If you die, Bruno won't understand why you're not coming back." Dream purposed that thought to her.

"He'll forget, dogs don't have complicated emotions like people." Drista shut the thought down pretty fast.

"You shouldn't leave him behind." Dream guilted her.

"Are you this worried about Lani's cat? Or her siblings?" Drista proposed something to him next.

Dream fell painfully quiet for a moment. "That's different...that was out of her control."

"Well her cat doesn't know that. Go guilt Lani's dead body instead!" Drista got out of the hug and went upstairs with Bruno.
