♣ OOC note: Thank you so much for the RP! I hope Miren and Angel will meet again at some point!
This was hard. Trusting someone enough to let them see who she was behind closed doors, when no one else was watching. Perhaps it was even impossible… Did Miren even know herself? She knew who she wanted to be – who she should be, but now… Something about Angel made her feel almost bad for the way she’s been treating the kind girl from the start. And that wasn’t how this- how any encounter was supposed to go. But then again, her fear of vulnerability and her own emotions were stronger, and not even the sense of guilt could make Miren lose her sharp edge.
Scared of the sudden surge of emotions swirling in her heart, she hid behind the mask of cold distance again. “My day?” she repeated after Angel as if the girl had just said a bad joke. “Wake up, Dayes. Most people ain’t lucky enough to only have one crummy day every once in a while.” Miren’s words were sharp, stone cold, and bitter. She wasn’t one to live in pretty lies. She preferred reality, always, no matter how harsh or painful. Because falling into another pit of misery hurt less when there was no dandy place to fall from in the first place. Happiness was a delusion, and Miren didn’t want that, couldn’t let herself have that. Because she knew deep down, she might not be able to withstand another fall. Not again.
That. That was the very reason she kept her feelings under control at all times, or tried to do so at the very least. The reason she always ran away from any sense of vulnerability. And Angel’s next words gave her the perfect opportunity to do just that. She gave her a curt nod and stood up, ready to leave herself. However, just before she disappeared between the trees, she stopped and turned her head slightly, speaking to Angel over her shoulder one last time: “You shouldn’t live in a pipe dream, Angel. One day, all of it will come crashing down, taking you with it.” Then she left without looking back.
