drabble challenge: 100 drabbles - table #2

#36 EMPTY @ muserevival

Ian was feeling empty inside. It was feeling like his life was a waste. He didn’t want to say it out loud, but he knew why he was feeling like this. Mickey was gone. It would be fifteen years before he ever saw the outside of a prison wall again. Not eight. He had priors, he wasn’t getting out in eight.

Now, Ian was all alone. He had nothing and no one. He had to try to figure out who he was without Mickey. He was just scared to try to look, only to realise he was nothing without him.

#85 FURIOUS @ muserevival

Ian was absolutely fucking furious at his sister. He was so fucking sick of the only interaction with her was being told to take his meds or hurry the fuck up. He didn’t need his family. For the briefest of moments, he had a family of his own, and now it was all gone.

Being constantly hounded about his medication was only the slightest of steps up from being constantly compared to his nutcase, drug addict mother. That all he was to anyone now. White noise on a backdrop of a mental illness label. That was never going to change.

@ muserevival : 115.1. Lyrics Prompt

"Maybe we were meant to be lonely, lonely
Maybe we were meant to be on our own
Loneliness has always been with me, with me
But maybe we don't have to be all alone."

8 YEARS ON: It was eight years since Ian last saw Mickey Milkovich. He had just seen his 27th birthday come and go, but that day, inside he was feeling like the same fucked up 19 year old he had been back then. The kid who had been feeling so numb and empty when the one thing that had a stab at making him happy was thrown in the slammer. He had already been losing his footing with life. Mickey had always been an anchor for him, a way out of the shit life he had been raised into. Then he was gone.

( He had made Mickey an empty promise the last time he saw him... )
