[JP] Titanic quote
Jul. 29th, 2009 03:20 am“They've got you trapped, Rose. And you're gonna die if you don't break free. Maybe not right away because you're strong but, sooner or later that fire that I love about you, Rose. That fire's gonna burn out.”
Life wasn’t a fairy tale.
Felicity knew that, she’d know that since she was nine. It was painstakingly obvious in the world they lived in, and while she had her big brother and sister who still tried to shade her from everything else, that didn’t stop the pain she felt when she lost people close to her. It was another example of how her father wasn’t the hero that she thought he was. He didn’t have magic hands that could save everyone and that cut her to the core more than anything else.
It didn’t mean she didn’t stop searching for it, though. She tried her best to do all the right things, shoving the person she was under the person she was supposed to be, like the bulky sweats that her parents would make her wear under her Halloween costumes when the New Jersey autumns got too chilly. The beautiful façade on the outside covering the bulges that weren’t supposed to be there, and she knew, she just knew that if she could just push through the bad stuff, she could get that happily ever after and all would be well again.
