📱⇢ faith's voicemail

cassia: "hey... this is selfish of me." she laughs softly. "i just... i don't know what's about to happen and i want to make sure that if by some disgusting twist of fate, this is the last time i talk to you -- your voicemail, not even you, that i know i told you how i feel.

cassia: you've been the only constant in my life since i was a kid. twisted my ankle at dance? go to faith's, she'll watch movies with me. kids picking on me? faith will be there. crush on liam? tell faith. it's always been you, okay? up until the day i died like. literally in your arms.

cassia: i'm so sorry i did that to you, faith. i'm so sorry that my own selfish needs traumatized you for life. i know you struggle with it. i'd be surprised if you didn't, but i just want you to know how sorry i am, because you didn't deserve to see that.

cassia: you are a good woman, faith campbell. you are so good. you are kind. you have a fiery attitude that makes me laugh every fucking day. you do what you feel is right, even if it seems hard. you love with all your heart.

cassia: you are the last person to deserve what's happening to you. i am doing everything i can which... granted isn't a lot. i'm looking at the screen right now..." her sobs are muffled, but she pulls it together.

cassia: "i love you. you're my best friend."

Faith’s heart was in her throat, she couldn’t breath. She had never been so scared in her life. The person waving around the knife, and the distorted voice. All she could think was- this was it. Feeling the blade run down her cheek, more tears followed. She’d be seeing Ro soon.

he didn’t hesitate for even a moment to pull faith into his embrace. gage locked his arms around her, holding on tightly, almost as if he feared letting go of her. she could disappear just like the three people who had in the past two weeks. “hey, hey, hey, let’s go,” he whispered into her hair, before quickly kissing her forehead. “c’mon, someone else can man the station. the kids will survive,” he reached down and linked his fingers with hers, tugging lightly to pull her away from the crowd. “i drove here,” he announced, though he wasn’t sure why. why else would he be pulling her through all the parked cars hanging out in the grass? as he approached the black vehicle, he unlocked the doors, then fell into the driver’s seat, allowing himself to lay his head on the wheel. “what the fuck is going on?”

“She can’t be gone!” Faith sobbed. Locked into his arms, she couldn’t breath. Her chest was on fire and the noise from the fair was suffocating, she needed Gage, she needed her Cass’, she didn’t even wanna look at her parents. She didn’t want hear them even mention God. Their God let her friend get hurt, one of her favourite humans. Feeling Gage’s lips on her forehead, she eased a bit. It was going from an 11 to a 10.5. She nodded in agreement allowing him to release from her body, and took his hand, their fingers laced together. She would go wherever he led her, he was control right now while she maneuvered through autopilot. They got to the car and she sat in the passenger seat, she tried to breath in and out steadily but her thoughts kept running in circles. Who could do this, why would this do this? Not Ro. Not Ro. Not Ro. Hearing Gage speak, she was reminded she had somebody going through this with her. “I can’t believe this is happening,” Faith sniffled. “She didn’t deserve that.”

         it took, literally, all her strength to move herself apart from faith, taking a look at her friend. she looked like shit, and she was a hundred percent sure she did too.      ‘ i can hold them and — and you can punch them. ’     her sadness tears quickly became tired ones, and a deep breath took place as she tried to control the emptyness inside her. cass moved her hand, meeting faith’s face to softly wipe her tears. with a whisper, she said ::   ‘ you’re NOT allowed to leave me too. ’

Faith felt Cassy move away from her, she sighed. She didn’t want that but if they were gonna move the car anywhere she was gonna have to get it together a bit. “Deal,” she whispered. Faith was taking deep breaths to try and calm herself down long enough to drive to Gage and Cassy’s place. “If I have anything to do it, we’ll grow to be 100 together,” she smiled softly. Faith fixed her body to sit properly in the driver seat, she rested her head on the steering wheel taking another deep breath before starting the car up again.

there was no escaping the truth at this point. everyone had read the article or watched the news. gage couldn’t just put blinders on and go on with his life, like he’d done had this been someone he wasn’t close to. he was a master of ignorance, so excellent at pretending circumstances were different. that would be hard to do given everyone around him knew that rosalie had been his roommate – had been. past tense. ro isn’t coming home. that statement just kept repeating itself over and over in his head. if he was honest, he wasn’t sure how he’d ended up back at the fair. it wasn’t a great idea, but now that he was there, he was going to find faith. he’d popped over to the balloon booth a few times, so he knew exactly where to go. he was standing by the board, watching a kid try to hit the balloons. unfortunately, the kid was taking too long. a minute just to aim? gage stepped in front of the board and ran his hand over the balloons, most of them popping. “well golly, i won,” gage said, a grim look on his features. while the kid cried, gage reached into his pocket and tossed the family a ten. “go play something else,” he turned to face faith, his face contorting. “ro isn’t coming home.” @faith-campbell​

Faith had seen the article after the Ripper texted her, she was so confused so she had to google it. She was still at the fucking balloons, listening to the popping sounds as the kids still threw the darts. She couldn’t breath, Ro was gone- that didn’t even make sense. Ro wasn’t coming to the fair, she wasn’t going to be able to do anything. No- no, it didn’t make sense. Her brain was spinning, she almost didn’t even realize Gage had hopped the booth until he started popping several balloons. She was relieved to see him, once he tossed the money at the kids she turned to face him. He spoke and all she could do was fling her body into his arms. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, it was a nightmare. “I can’t believe this,” she muttered into his chest.

         both hands grasped faith, desperate to hold her closer in an attempt to make everything stop. it was irrational to think it would actually work, but cassandra was too much of a mess to think of anything else. in her head, as long as faith was holding her, nothing worse could happen. several minutes passed before the dark skinned woman could actually mutter a word between all the sobbing.      ‘ im gonna — i’m gonna kill — that son of a bitch ’

Faith squeezed her tight, it was like the tighter she squeezed she hoped that having her close would someone how cushion the feeling. The new hole that belonged to Ro in her heart. She could hardly speak, she just needed Cass to keep her arms around her before she completely burst. “Not if I do first,” she bitterly spat.

casshxffman‌:

           all the time while she waited for faith, cassandra had been quietly crying, ignoring whoever walked past her. a few had stopped to ask what was wrong, only to be met with rage and sorrow. but after seeing the familiar car pull over, the girl ran at full speed to the passenger’s seat, throwing her backpack to the back and wrapping her arms around her friend, the sobbings starting once again.         ‘ please tell me this isn’t happening. ’ 

Faith was amazed she could even sit behind a wheel of a car, let alone move it. But Cass needed her, and she needed someone- maybe that’s where the strength mustered up from. When Cassy got in they made eye contact and Faith burst into tears for the second time that day, wrapped her arms around the girl. Pulling her tightly into her, she couldn’t breathe. Ro didn’t deserve this, she didn’t deserve to die so young. Not like that. “She can’t be- just gone,” she sobbed.

Cassy didn’t have to ask Faith twice to go and get her, after the news there were only a few people she could stand to be with right now. Cassy and Faith were both fairly close to Ro and the news hit hard. Faith still couldn’t believe that Ro was gone, she had tried texting and calling her after the news as if it had to be fake. Then the dumb text from the supposed Ripper made her skin crawl. She pulled up to where Cassy was and looked over at the girl. “Hey,” she softly spoke.

            IT WASN’T A LIGHTEN up vibe he needed. his feet were literally no cooperating with him as the couple in front of them moved, leaving them ready for the next cart.   ❝ if i throw up, you’ll owe me a burger to refill my sick and empty stomach. ❞  

Ew, was the thought that popped in her head. She couldn’t handle puke, if the boy was gonna burst into tears that would’ve been fun- but vomit. Dear God that she is unsure that exists, please do not let this boy puke. “If you throw up, I will be certain to fill your tummy back up, Beauchamp,” she promised. Although if she would follow through was up in the air. The gate closed, meaning they were gonna be next when the ride did finished it’s thing with the first group. “Why are you scared of the coaster anyway? Isn’t bravery in the Beauchamp genes?”

“Alright, I can do that”. Landon’s eyebrows raised up, she was a very honest girl which he always admired. Just not used to hearing those things from a complete stranger. “Yeah… sorry you lost his dick?” he said after busting out laughing, he wasn’t quite sure what to say, but that is what came out. “I’m Landon” she said holding out his hand.

“Oh not my dick,” Faith denied. “Honestly thank God for that, but I’m sure if you bump into any other girl here, they would appreciate that apology.” Faith shrugged. Nate was dead and he was literally nothing to her except some dude she banged a couple of times, she would take that secret to the grave though. Although Cassy knew- but she was a solid vault, like a walking diary. “I’m Faith,” she took his hand and shook it. “I think I’ve seen you in church. I should’ve introduced myself sooner. I’m the Preacher’s kid.”

“It’s fine,” he assured. He couldn’t blame her. It seemed like all of Rosefield was having a rough week, and while he liked it well enough spending the day behind a fair booth wasn’t exactly anyone’s idea of a good time. “I’m Jesse, nice to meet you. So why’d you decide to help out this year?”

“I promise I’m more fun than this,” Faith added, hoping he wasn’t gonna dread next to her. Which was true, Faith after dark and high enough was a riot. Faith just on her morning coke- she was just alright. “I help out every year, it’s kind of a family tradition. I should mention I’m running for Mrs. Rosefield, if you like me by the end of this game day- don’t vote for me please.”

casshxffman‌:

       ‘ me ?!   girl you’re the one that should’ve joined me. the ring toss is ALWAYS empty, you have no idea how much weed is in my system right now. ’        there was a particular way of enjoying a fair when you were high as a kite. not only the people seemed less annoying and therefore cassy was in a better mood, but she was REEKING excitement to go to the funhouse.    ‘ i’ll buy whatever m’lady wants as long as you take me to the mirror house. ’

“You may be correct but I am not going to say it, and instead will blame you for my misery!” Faith nodded. Being high helped though, head in the clouds while people flung things near hr made the threat seemed like fun video game. “I will endure the creepy mirror maze for food. But if I see the back of my head- I’m out. I’ve seen Us.”

“it’s not a surplus of energy,” she says, deflated. she is a wilted flower, set too long out in the sun. isla unhooks herself from the girl and opens the cash box. searching through its metal intestines for gold. “it’s the inevitable insanity setting in.” then clank. the box is closed and she comes bearing gifts. her hand extends, waiting to drop the change into faith’s palm. “i’d kill for some excitement.” admittedly, she could have chosen better words, if she hadn’t believed every ounce of them. night, she knew, was when the fun would truly begin.

“Hey now- I was just joking, no need to turn into a pumpkin,” She said handing the girl the money and waited for the cash to be exchanged. It seemed everyone was anti-fair, maybe it’s one of those things that are way more fun as a child. She took the cash from Isla and offered a smile. “Be careful what you wish for," Faith cautioned with a wink. “I’m sure you can take a break- let’s grab food. This is a volunteer position, not work,” she mused. Faith stuck out her hand offering it the girl to take so could hop out the booth and go on a walk with Faith.
