( don't mind her stuffing a bite of pizza into her mouth first )
Stayed in New York instead of running away, moved in with a friend, went back to therapy, worked... few months later took a trip to Switzerland, stayed for a month, started realising maybe I'm not happy in New York for a reason... few months later I have the worst and longest day I don't understand and then we're at today.
[ Her turn to stuff pizza in her mouth as she marinates on all that. ]
Yeah, so that's definitely a mindfuck. It's like...you mentally went home? [ Which is definitely some Star Trek shit. ] But also stayed here at the same time.
Well, if my brain would like to remember that we don't have to mentally bring across the injuries too that'd be great.
( she should probably ice her shoulder even though it doesn't actually have an injury. here anyway. but maybe it'd mentally help?
or she could just do the typical adrienne thing: avoid it! )
At least most of what I went through was positive? Like they're good memories to have even if it's confusing and it's not like I can make any life decisions now.
There's that, at least. And sometimes I think that being here it's like...I
dunno. A break? Even if it's all fucked up. At least here I don't have to
worry about my man-child of a Dad. [ Said with all the affection in
the world. ]
[ Yeahhh like there's trauma there but it could be so, so much
worse. Juvie was no picnic. ]
Yup. He didn't get as severe of a sentence because I didn't rat him out,
but he still went. [ Mikaela's record is actually expunged thanks to
her dipshit ex, so at least she got that out of the relationship. ]
He's been out a year or two but it takes time.
( this is not an area that she's good at advice on, though you could argue that adrienne's never good at advice, though parents? she lost hers as a teen and their relationship was definitely not what mikaela's was )

[ There's certainly plenty of it in this household. ]
I think I've heard it in passing, but I've never actually talked to anyone about it that's had it happened. Til you, anyway.

Like everything was both last week and last year, and I don't know what to call it.

So what all happened? Or do you not wanna talk about it?

[ So, y'know. ]
We run the garage together, but this is also the man who took a kid with him while he was playing real life GTA.

Was the prison because of cars?

[ noooooo no no no. that would be traumatizing. ]
Brain bleach, please. [ Like a shot of whiskey. ]
