Room 406, after Caritas

[izzyalienqueen]

Today had started out meh and went downhill from there. Class had a few good moments, but Isabel did spend most of it reminding herself that TKing the teacher would be bad. A trip to the gym and an afternoon of brooding did little to lift her mood, which was why she wound up at Caritas contemplating drinking for the third time ever. And then she talked to Jack.

Isabel flopped onto to her bed and her soundtrack, which had been blissfully quiet for a bit, suddenly started up again.

Mama, why am I so alone?
I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home
I'm alive but I'm sinking in
If there's anyone at home at your place
Why don't you invite me in
Don't try to bleed me
I've been there before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lying
I've been sinking
And I am the Rain King

"Oh my god, I've become Max." Isabel buried her head under her pillow and whimpered.
