Trigger Warnings: panic attack? First: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1154371538/ Previous: Next: soon Lizzie: Chapter 34. Oli pushes the door open, leaning heavily against the wall when he gets in. ”Liz? Hey, dragon, you here?” I wave from the dining room table. ”Hey, Oli.” I say through a mouthful of ramen. ”Did you do alright while I was gone?” I froze. We need to tell him. “Uh… about that…” His eyes widen. “Did something happen? Are you alright?” He rushes into the dining room, dropping his bag. ”I’m fine, me and Jim are fine, nothing… bad… happened. Just… we made a day trip for ourselves…” As if by magic, Jimmy steps into my house at that moment. ”Oh, Hi Oli, you're back.” ”Where did you go?” Oli asks, alarm rising in his voice. Jimmy hesitates, looking at me. When I nod, he continues. “Uh… we visited Crystal Cliffs?” He says it like a question. “Wh-“ Oli sits on the table. “You went to Crystal Cliffs? Did you-“ “Yeah.” I say. “An old friend, at the Academy. We weren’t there all day. The train ride there and back was longer than the amount of time we spent there. It was… fun.” Jimmy scowls and mutters under his breath, something about me not having a panic attack. “Wh- and you didn’t tell me?” He looks hurt. “We went there looking for answers, isn’t that what you wanted?” Jimmy says bitterly. “Gem was an emperor with us.” I say softly, thinking about the wizard. “And Sausage.” Jimmy’s jaw clenches at the name. “Jimmy, seriousl-“ “Yes, seriously! You don’t even know half of it!” He says, frustrated. “Because the whole war, you were off in the middle of the ocean, messing around with axolotls and being a queen-“ “Are you blaming me?” “Guys!” Oli shouts over us. “Come on, I just got back!” I push back my chair and storm off to my room. I flinch as the door slams. My knees feel too weak, I fall to the floor, sobs working their way through my chest. “Why?” I moan softly. I hug myself, and almost laugh at the pathetic-ness of it. There’s a knock at my door. “Lizzie?” Jimmy’s muffled voice comes through the wood. “‘Wanna be alone.” I mumble, wiping away my tears and sitting up. “Go away.” “I’m sorry.” He says softly. “You were a great queen.” Footsteps recede, and I’m alone again. I’m hit with another overwhelming wave of grief as I try to get to my bed. I remember whenever I was sad back then… she would comfort me. “Katherine…” I moan softly, my breath catching. “I’m sorry…” “Hey, dragon, me and Jimmy are going down to the beach, we’ll be there when you’re feeling better,” Oli calls through my door. “I love you.” “Love you.” I whisper. And then I’m alone. Just me, myself, and I. Just Lizzie and her depressing memories.
