Author's note: This story was inspired by Champagne Challenge #163, Moonlight Song Stories, and specifically by "Let it Go," by Fauxliage. (Song lyrics here.) It's in the form of two drabbles, one from Mick's POV and one from Beth's. The quote is from Fever, written by Jill Blotevogel.
Maybe it was her blood in my veins that let me feel her. The beating of her very living heart. Or maybe, we've always been connected. Either way, being near me puts her in danger. So it has to stop.
Let It Go
Just avoid her calls for a few weeks, don’t answer the door. She’ll give up after a while.
Yeah, right. No, she’ll never let it go, it’s not in her nature. So I have to do it.
Why did I tell Leni to call her?! I should have let myself die in that tub. Ah, who am I kidding? I’d have drained Leni if Beth hadn’t come. And I’d have her and the baby on my conscience, too.
Oh god, I can feel her. It’s like her warmth is soaking right through the door. Go away, Beth. Please, go away.
-----
I know you’re standing right there, on the other side of the door. I can feel you. Let me in. I need to understand what’s happening to me. What’s happened to us.
I can’t sleep. I can’t look Josh in the face without feeling like a fraud. He’s been so great about everything, but I cringe every time he touches me there. It’s like… he’s trespassing. Why?
I wonder if you feel this connection the way I do. I wish you’d stop putting up walls between us, Mick. I saved you… I gave you my blood! Don’t you even care?
