we live, we love, we forgive and never give up [PERS]

[rachelle danica carnes]

Waking up to another dark morning
People are mourning
The weather in life outside is storming
But what would it take for the clouds to break
For us to realize each day
Is a gift somehow, someway

----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------

And get our heads up out of this darkness
And spark this new mindset and start on with life cuz it ain't gone yet
And tragedy's a reminder to take off the blinders and wake up
(to live the life)
We're supposed to take up
(moving forward)
With all our heads up
Cuz life is worth living

There was one thing worst then eleven missed calls from mom. It was Pers’ angry facebook status’. She never knew if she wanted to come home those days but knew her friend was going to need a talk down. A it’s probably not as bad as you think or something along the lines. Let’s just saw Rach was pedaling her bike extra slow today. She had just gotten off of work and was on her phone when she saw the angry status. Her mind was racing with possibilities but she just wasn’t quite sure what it could be. Something at home maybe? Something with a friend? There was Jack but Rach wasn’t aware of them talking recently. Rach had the whole night planned. She would pull at the finger nail polish and a decent movie and hope that Pers wouldn’t rip her head off before talking. The roommates made no sense and then again every sense as friends. It was a lot like Sterling and Vincent. Sometimes it seemed like their lives would be so much easier if they weren’t together but then again they needed each other. This was Rach’s approach in her mind as she pulled up to the curb outside of the house. She pulled her bike along the side yard before bouncing towards the stairs. She took a deep breath and opened the door. Silence. Well either Pers had left or she had decided to stay in her room for the moment. Rach pulled her backpack off before disappearing into her own bedroom.

Superhero and random organization posters covered the wall with the occasional band and autographs from book signings. She yanked the green apron over her head tossing it over the frame of her bed. She quickly found her favorite pajamas; batman boxers and a bright yellow tank. She pulled her hair to the side as she continued to listen to the house. Pers maybe had stepped out? If she had been in her bedroom wouldn’t she have stormed out? Of course she could be sulking? Rach wasn’t quite sure but the silence was worse than the screaming and pouting. Rach grabbed the large basket of nail polish and disappeared into the front room. She grabbed the remote flipping on their DVR finding the last episode of whodunnit?;Which she recorded Sunday night. She flipped around on the couch so her feet hung over the back of the couch and her head dangled off the side. She then dug around in the nail polish bag finding the TARDIS blue color smirking as she also dug out the Impala color. She grinned nodding at herself at the choices she had made before quickly painting her left hand, upside down while watching whodunnit. She knew the moment Pers either came out or come home the TV would be turned off and she would play the listener but in the mean time she was going to live-well Rach stylee.

We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love
We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

The day's events had no doubt taken a turn for the unexpected. When Persephone had accidentally found herself at the park earlier today, she had planned to quickly maneuver heself out of the park before she had got caught in any sort of crowd. Unfortunately, what had happened instead was almost just as bad as getting lost in a crowd of tourists: Pers had ran into her ex boyfriend, Jackson Peters.

Jackson had broken up with Persephone just before the summer began because he no longer "felt the same." Persephone was never good with being left, especially with those she cared about. It was such a surprise to her when it happened. She had spent the majority of the summer wondering just exactly what had gone wrong. Persephone never had a change of heart. It occurred to her that it was probably a problem that she had never realized when Jackson started losing interest. She was blinded by love and when he had finally opened up her eyes, she was nothing but heartbroken.

Now Persephone was nothing but bitter about the whole relationship. They had dated for almost two years and it was proving to be harder to get over him than she initially thought. She wanted to really show him that what he had done was a mistake but right now nothing was going through her head except pure, hate fueled anger. When Pers had ran into Jackson in the park, they had gotten into an argument. Neither of them were very public when it came to affection, much less dramatic relationship fights so the fact that Jackson had lost it on her at the park took her by surprise. She was embarrassed, she was mad, and she wanted to get him back. She was tired of being quiet about her feelings on the relationship.

She was now stalking down the streets back to her apartment, both her heart and mind racing. When she had updated her status in an attempt to vent, her roommate and best friend, Rachelle, had written uplifting lyrics on her wall. The fact that she had someone she could actually count on to love her when she got home calmed her down. She let out a heavy high when she finally stepped in her apartment door and leaned back against the door as she closed it. She frowned to herself. She didn't want to admit anything she was about to.

Persephone walked into the front room and saw Rachelle on the couch. She dropped her bag around her shoulder to the ground and crossed her arms. She didn't want to cry, she really, really didn't, but now that she was in the comfort of her home and Rachelle, she couldn't stop the tears from forming in her brown eyes.

Rach had gotten bored of the current position on the couch and decided it was time to change. She knew it had to be said female that did it. There was no way Giles could have or Kam. But those were spoilers she couldn’t even talk about with anyone else but hardly anyone watched the show. She flipped her legs over and grabbed for the remote. She changed to the latest episode of the walking dead before retreating back to her spot upside down on the couch. She continued waiting for Pers, wondering when the sometimes quiet greek girl would come back. Should she be worried? People didn’t just get that upset and then not come home? Maybe she was home all this time. Rach sighed flipping over to her feet once more before walking down the hall. Pers’ room was silent. There was no way that she could be home even if she did have her quiet moments. Defeated, Rach returned back into the kitchen pulling out the popsicles molds while listening to the tv blare gunshots. She had already seen this episode three times but didn’t have the heart to delete it off the DVR life sucked when you were in between seasons of shows. She poured Dr. Pepper into each mold before shoving them into the freeze before retreating to her backpack in the room pulling out the code of conduct book before retreating back to her spot on the couch. That’s when the door opened.

Rach let the book fall to the side before sitting up slowly to see Pers walk in quietly and silently. Well that was never a good sign. She sighed watching Pers drop her bag and then lean on the couch. Rach already knew what was going to happen and she didn’t like it. She stood up disappearing for a second before bringing out a bag of mini recess and green tea kit kat bars before using the other hand to slip around Pers shoulders. ”I think that facial expression deserves an explanation, I’m deeming this night a girls night in, so go grab your pillow and comfy clothes because we have a lot of talking to do,” Rach stated in a matter-of-fact way before throwing her arms around her roommate giving her a tight squeeze. ”Now I mean it, the nail polish is already out here and I’ll even let you pick the movie since you hate tv so much,” Rach grinned before walking and picking up the remote and going back to the list of recordings stopping the zombie in its tracks. She disappeared around the corner grabbing her own pillow before dropping it on one of their couches. ”Do you feel like eating? I could have Sterling drop by a pizza, only if you feel like it though, Rach felt like if she possibly could give Pers sometime to walk around maybe the tears wouldn’t flood as badly? Who was she kidding the moment they started talking she knew Pers was going to explain things that would probably bring them back.

We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love
We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

Just the thought of a night spent in with just Rachelle sounded like exactly what Pers needed, and when Rach had officially declared it to be a girls night, Pers just nodded before she slowly dragged herself to her room. Her mind felt empty now as she slipped off her flats and undressed herself. She looked around her room for her pajamas, which she knew she had left on her bed. She felt a relief, suddenly, that she had quickly gotten rid of any sort of reminder of Jackson shortly after he broke up with her in a fit of rage. She was glad she had.

She grabbed the gray capri sweats that were thrown on top of her bed and slipped into a plain white t-shirt before walking back out to the front room, hugging herself. "Me? Pick the movie?" Persephone didn't have to fake a smile; Rach really knew what it took to cheer her up. "Well then," she quickly took a skip over to the tv set and scanned through their movie choices before she spotted one of her favorites: The Graduate. She slipped it into the DVD player and sat down on the couch next to where Rach had sat her pillow.

"I think my stomach feels too weird to eat anything just yet," she said, warily. Then she corrected herself, "but that could change, so I'd keep him on speed dial," she let a little one sided smile appear upon her face. She pulled her knees up to her chest and let out a sigh. Pers wanted to tell Rach what she was really feeling, but she wasn't even sure that she wanted to hear what she was really feeling. She hadn't even figured it out for herself yet.

Rach smiled as Pers was excited to pick the movie. Any one that even remotely knew anything about Rach knew that was a sacrifice on her behalf. But if it helped in the process of helping Pers conquer…whatever she was soon to learn she was conquering well it was always worth it. That was just how Rach was. She watched her roommate scan the movies before picking one. She continued to watch for signs that would give her even an inkling of what was wrong but she couldn’t quite place it. The only thing that would make her that upset had to be Jackson but she wasn’t aware of them meeting up anytime soon. Unless they just ran into each other. Which was totally possible. She couldn’t exactly cross that off the list. She sat with her legs crossed watching as Pers joined her on the couch.

She nodded as she stated that she may just change her mind about pizza later. ”Sounds like a plan!” Rach leaned back on her pillow turning to stare at the screen before looking back to Pers. ”So, background ‘music’ check, pillows to cry on, best girl to say ‘Oh no he didn’t’, TARDIS blue Aphrodite pink nail polish, and you’re best friend. So spill, what was with that angsty status, and the almost waterworks, chica?” Rach asked turning on her stomach so she could face Pers. Sometimes she would attempt to prove something didn’t hurt her but Rach was convinced that that was exactly the opposite of what needed to happen in moments like this. Just like Vincent…gah, she sat up slowly crossing her arms over her chest waiting for Pers to respond.

We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
