bennett is young and brilliant and she’sstupid stupid stupid. she’s in love with caroline (because, as that girl in her neuroscience class keeps reminding her, her infatuation with caroline is obvious to anyone with a brain). sometimes, bennett isn’t sure she has a brain, but caroline likes to remind bennett that she is the smartest person caroline knows and everything feels good in the world again. bennett loves caroline more than anything, and will follow her into the sun if she asks. bennett would do anything for caroline, because caroline is the person that she loves most in the world.

“we’re in this, together, right?”“till the end,” caroline replies, grabbing bennett’s hand and squeezing it tight.//
“leave me. leave me and run,” caroline insists, and bennett won’t. she can’t. she’s never been more in love with anyone in her life. she can’t leave caroline alone. it would break her own heart, and probably caroline’s aside. she just
can’t can’t can’t
leave caroline alone here to possibly die.

bennett is young and in love and she’s
stupid stupid stupid
how could she ever think that caroline loved her like she loved caroline? she’s trapped and she’s hurt and there’s more pain than she’s ever felt but it’s not from her arm. it’s from caroline who abandoned her (abandoned her and left her alone and cursed her to die). how could she ever believe that caroline
love love loved
her? god bennett is so stupid to think that caroline could love her the way that she loves caroline.
//
everything in bennett’s world after that is just
pain pain pain
andhurt hurt hurt. there is nothing more than she wants then to hurt caroline; she wants to stab her until she dies and she will never forgive her because caroline was the person she loved most and she left her and now caroline is the person she hates most in the world.

echo, or caroline, or whoever the hell she is this week and she’s going to hurt her and it will make her feel better because she wants to make caroline feel what she felt than when caroline left her and if she fixes caroline for topher and echo, echo’ll hold her down and let her make caroline
hurt hurt hurt
and topher is nice (even if he did hit her that one time) and his lips are soft but he’s nowhere near as good as caroline even though bennett

her and she will make her pay and maybe she could
love love love
topher if given enough time and dr. saunders thinks she’s amazing (she looks so much like caroline
why why why)and then —
