Wynonna's Story: A Day At Home

Superior Essays
Her sisters are gone. One dead, one evil and disappeared. Her partner 's gone. Doc and Nicole gone, too, to look for evil Waverly or good Waverly or both, and they 're all gone. Wynonna figures she 's on hour number too hundred of this god-awful, wretched day and she can only think of one thing to do.

So she sits in the dark corner of the bar and she drinks. And she drinks. And she drinks. And nobody stops her from drinking, (as if they could), and when the bar finally closes it 's just as well because there 's a song on the bar radio that her Daddy used to play in his truck and that 's the last thing Wynonna really needs. So she cradles a cold bottle of something right out the swinging double doors and drinks all the way home.

After slithering to the bathroom for five minutes of fruitless dry-heaving over the the toilet, she flushes- the noise offensive to her many-layered headaches- and even the mirror looks furious with her.

"I 'm not that quiet, you know. You shouldn 't be this easy to sneak up on at 2:30 in the afternoon." And then Dolls is standing behind her in the mirror and Wynonna nearly falls over in shock and relief and still-exhaustion, before turning to fall into his arms. Carrying her to the couch last night had been the easy part for him; watching her while he was getting driven away, finding her on her own porch, booze-snoring- that had been hard for him. Carrying her to the couch, her unconsciously snaking her arms around his neck, that had been easy. This would be hard. The red-rims of her eyes told him that.

"But you-" Her voice came out croaky and hollowed out, and she pulled back from him for a second to just look at him.

"BBD and I were able to work something out." It 's vague and it 's very Dolls, but he pulls her back into his chest, hands settling on her

"Why? I mean, all the bad shit here-" She pulled away from him without even realizing she was about to cry; about to crack. "I 'm sorry, Dolls."

All the feelings Wynonna had spent good money drinking away came back, only with more teeth. Guilt and pain and of course, guilt. Guilt had been beating her over the head since she stepped one bare toe back into Purgatory, and now it had her pinned down and strangled.

Dolls realizes in a second that he 's watching her fall apart. That probably to the town or at least the bar, last night looked like losing it, but for Wynonna Earp this was it.

"My baby sister 's a demon, or something- a maybe demon, cause jesus christ, I don 't even know- my older, dead sister, who I thought was dead because I shot our Daddy, was actually alive, but now she 's dead, actually dead, because you killed her so I wouldn 't have to, to protect the whole world from crazy demons that nobody can know about and then you were gone-" He realizes her fingernails are digging into his shoulders she 's gripping so hard, and when she lets go, she let 's herself sink to her knees, visibly shaking. "I should 've never came back, you know, Dolls. Because so what if I 'm the fucking heir now, huh? I blew every chance I had to fix anything and you know what

    He was filled up with emotions, kind of hiding his face from me, but I caught sight of a tear rolling down his face, and he quickly wiped it away. "Let's get going, it's getting late."

    Wynonna turned back to her Homestead. Those other plans, stiff malt liquor promising to hit her like a ton of bricks, was calling her home.

Hell, she could drink for…

    In the aftermath of Winnie’s eventful life, she soon found herself wrapping up high school, seven years later, and beginning her preparations for college. She had guiltily decided on her 17th birthday that she wanted to pursue an educational life.

She loved the Tucks very dearly, but what would become of her whole life if she chose to drink from the spring?

    If my friends bothered to notice how different I looked, they didn’t say anything about it. I only wore giant, comfortable sweaters, I had large bags under my eyes, and I had stopped wearing makeup after that first week. I could barely sleep because all I could see when I closed my eyes was the shadow. I was a walking corpse powered by coffee and energy drinks. The one positive change was that I had started listening to My Chemical Romance again, which was the one string of sanity I had left.…

    It was just after one in the early hours of the morning, just outside the small town of Cooksville in Texas. Gregg scanned the lake to make sure there were no fishermen or late night swimmers. It was imperative that no one would see him. He nervously made his way towards the water, constantly looking around to make sure he was not being watched, wishing now he could turn back the clock. What a fool he’d been; stupid not even thinking about the consequences of his actions at the time.…

    Kurapika had no idea how long he lay in Leorio’s arms, winded and trembly, listening to the soft whir of the ceiling fan overhead. It couldn’t possibly have been for more than a minute or two — and yet, to him, it was as if a probable eternity had passed, and in that eternity Leorio had shown him that there were stars lurking just behind his eyelids. Kurapika propped himself up on one elbow, a little alarmed by how tired he was, and raked his sweaty bangs off his face with a strengthless hand. Everything had gone low-lit and hazy in the aftermath, and he felt — not different, exactly, at least not in any concrete way.…
