" i'm fine , don't worry about it , " she replied then smiled .  " here are some of the clothes , " she picked up the various articles of clothing and handed it to him .  " go ahead and get dressed , darling , " she gave him a quick kiss then bent down to pick up the rest of the mess .  her hands shook slightly as she put away the photographs and mementos .  they made her sad .  incredibly sad .  so sad that it took affect to the plants in her room , making them grow a bit wild .  she missed when things used to be so effortless between them .  when he used to braid her hair and when they used to trade lip gloss .  when she could tell him anything without being hesitant .  she knows they'll be like that again someday but right now they were being careful with one another . she took a deep breath and silenced her mind .  she really needs to stop overthinking about these things .  she calmed herself then picked up a photo .  it was them as children , in matching tutus and horrible makeup .  she showed him and laughed ,  " oh my god do you remember this ? "  she kept laughing as she remembered the memory , tears rolling down her cheeks .  she laughed herself breathless then wiped her cheeks .

Hands gently taking the mug when she handed it back, taking a sip as he listened. Nodding as he swallowed the liquid, “ Okay, I'll be here ” he said in response. As if it was reassurance to her that he wasn't going anywhere, not going to run off like he used to. Not anymore. “ I'm won't be uncomfortable ” he said softly as he watched her walk over to her bedroom. When she went in, he finished off the last bit of coffee that was in the mug. Sighing quietly as he stared into the empty mug before getting up, making his way over to the sink. Turning on the sink to warm to wash up the mug, zoning out slightly as he cleaned the mug. He wasn't really thinking of anything, just.. nothing. This kind of thing has been happening a few times recently, he would just zone out for a few seconds for a minute. Inhaling sharply as he came back to his senses and finished washing the mug and placed it on the drying rack. Flinching at the noise that came from the bedroom, drying his hands on a cloth. Placing it down quickly before he went over to see what it was. Eyes flicked to the box then her, quietly rushing over and crouching beside her. He placed his hand on her back and looked at her face, worry filled his. “ Are you okay? It didn't fall on you did it? ” he asked, worry was clear in his tone. Eyes shifted to what was in her hand, his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he knew exactly what it was. Swallowing thickly before he looked at her face once again, eyes scanning her face. 

she took a few sips then handed back the mug .  " alright let me get that box for you , " getting up , she started to walk to her room .  " well i don't mind sharing a bed ... i just didn't want to make you uncomfortable , " she admitted , flipping her bedroom light on . her room definitely changed .  the walls were no longer covered in wallpaper but are now painted a pleasant green with fairy lights adorning them .  of course there were plants but now instead of the old rickety bed there's a bigger one with various stuffed animals . she had grown out of her vintage phase so it only made sense for things to change .  except her vanity .  she couldn't bring herself to get ride of it .  opening her closet , she sighed .  another thing that didn't change was that her closet was overflowing with clothes .  she got on her toes to reach the box on the shelf , muttering cursed as she reached .  her fingers brushed the underside , making it teeter towards her .  briar gasped and took a step back , not want to get crushed .  the cardboard fell and spilled the contents inside . " great , " she groaned and got on her knees to pick up the mess .  in said mess were some old clothes and pajamas which was expected but also some photos .  some were from when briar and ronan we're children , playing dress up and having tea parties . others were of them kissing as teens and holding hands .  but there was one that made briar pause .  it was a picture of the day they broke it off .  they had gone to an amusement park that day and went into a photo booth .  they looked happy until the last frame .  it showed her storming out and ronan chasing after her .  briar frowned at the memory .
