The Caverns Beneath The Earth By Lauren Hern (aka lozziepops.)
It was a day like any other day. With the sun streaming in from the open window, I would open my eyes to a world of nothing but pills which brought about a sense of normality to my normally messed up world. Leaning on the counter just across from my bed, was a woman who was not overly skinny nor overly plump, with bright, vibrant, shockingly, gloriously faded blue hair which was turning blonde at the ends. Heavy, slept in eyeliner framed a deathly pale face which was neither pretty nor ugly. More of a happily bland complexion, if that was really such a thing(?) A tongue flicked out with each laying out and turning of the cards in her hands, each face being placed down in the shape of the Celtic cross, lip rings furiously clicking against teeth. My sister made it a regular habit of hers to do her own readings this early in the morning until her clients started showing up, each wanting the cards to govern their own lives.
Outside, the city was slowly coming to life, with the usual traffic slowly trudging through the streets of Cardiff as shop owners began to slowly set up for the day. We lived on the main shopping street which was neither quiet nor loud. Instead, it was a happy form of chaos to our mostly boring lives. This was days after the quarantine had slowly been lifted after the pandemic of Covid-19 and the world itself was trying to move on from the damage the virus had caused. That hadn't stopped the clients coming in in droves however. In fact, we didn’t care long as the clients were willing to adhere to social distancing and wear protection in the forms of both disposable gloves, and face masks. 
My sister and I had been doing this for a long time, and were well versed in Tarot thanks to our mother who had used the cards to channel her own spiritual powers. What kept people coming back however, was that the cards were always right (and it made more money than mediumship ever did for us.) 
“Three of swords...” A rasp of a voice spoke, bringing me out of my own reverie, “...positive start to the day I suppose...”
“You know mother told us not to use the cards for our own personal gain, Mina,” I scolded lightly. This kind of talk was too much for me this time in the morning. In fact, all I really wanted right now was a cigarette, “turn that one card and its all over. You know this.” 
My sister looked up at me, away from the cards. The impatient clicking of her lip rings had stopped, replaced by the sound of a small sigh from her too thin lips.
“You know you’re a bright fucking ray of sunshine every morning, Lorelai,” Mina replied, her voice showing signs of chain smoking for most of her life. Only 41 years of age and still dressing like the young goth she was at heart with her long dark acrylic nails which were starting to grow out, “I do not use the cards for my personal gain. I practice my craft unlike you and you’re mediumship, little brother. When did you last take on a client or explore a place with spiritual energy?” 
“Whatever. I’m going to take a leak and then get a mug of Joe...” It was a term which I hadn't been able to shake since our visit to the states several years ago. A year before our mother disappeared from our lives, stating before she left ‘that we had a purpose and she would do nothing but hold us back from it.’ That was what she said before she had disappeared, completely vanishing without a trace. 
Finishing my business, I washed my hands in the porcelain sink before looking up into the mirror. A young man of 32 looked back at me with tired, almost bloodshot eyes and very light freckles hidden beneath a layer of crusted over old makeup. Reaching for the cleanser, I quickly removed the traces of white foundation and black eyeliner, watching as the makeup slid from my skin into the basin below, revealing more of the freckles beneath. Something which I had got from my father, along with the naturally blonde hair which had been freshly dyed black. In every way from the pronounced bump on my nose down to the shape of my jaw, I looked like my old man except for my eyes - I had my mothers deep muddy brown eyes. Washing off the rest of the cleanser, I turned off the water and headed into the kitchen, only to find a steaming cup of Joe waiting for me, along with Mina who was microwaving a ready made meal. 
“I’m going to the castle soon as it opens you know?” I spoke nonchalantly after thanking her for the coffee, “...something about the caverns beneath that place keeps drawing me in.” The microwave pinged soon as I finished speaking but Mina didn’t open the door. Instead, I could hear her nails deliberately clicking against the work top, the charms hanging from them clinking together. 
“...what makes you think you will even find her in those god awful caverns?” Her voice was rigid, her teeth gnashing together, “we haven’t been able to find her all these years so why do you think this would be different, Lore?” 
A part of me couldn’t help but think this was the truth. Truth was, we had moved to this particular part of Cardiff after she had disappeared based solely on the feeling I got from the castle itself. It loomed over the city itself and yet refused to reveal its secrets which if my senses were correct, were more than forbidden trysts of lovers in the centuries that it had remained standing. 
“That place is concealing something,” I replied simply, not wanting to further share my thoughts for the time being, “I will find out what it is, even if it kills me. And before you say, not even the fucking cards will stop me, Mina.” I pursed my lips and sighed with irritation, downing the strong mug of caffeine goodness in one go. 
After some time of silence between us, in which the small kitchen felt even smaller than it was, she let out an almost despairing sigh. Though she was only ten years older than I was, my older sister knew when it was best to drop the conversation - especially when I was being my usual stubborn self. After a while when she had carefully placed her ready meal onto a plate, chicken curry with fried rice, she sat back down at the counter with a fork in hand, idly playing with the food on the plate. Mina’s diet was awful in the eyes of most but food was where she showed her true stubborn side. No matter how many times, I offered to cook for her, she refused, stating that the energies would just affect her readings. She just doesn't like home cooked food, which was the truth and the thought which came to my mind every time I saw her with a new ready meal from our local Sainsbury’s. Or she’s just being her usual weird self. That was also a possibility.
“What’s to stop you from entering those caverns now, Lore?” She asked between mouthfuls of food, “I mean no ones there so why not just sneak in?” 
“...that wouldn't be what she would have wanted,” a snap, the plate itself almost broke in two with the force of her fork hitting the delicate ceramic.
“Do you hear yourself Lorelai Matthews?” My full name. I knew I was in trouble when she used my full name, “I swear if you weren't my brother, I would have poisoned your mug with cyanide, you stupid idiot! This is our mother you are talking about here...” Mina was trying not to spit her food all over the place as her voice began to rise, “we at least need to know why she wanted to disappear in the first place. Stop being so fucking blasé about it.” 
“Mina, she disappeared for a reason and you know this. I’m sure destiny or whatever it is can wait for us to catch up with it. Besides the place is heavily guarded at the moment to stop the tourists getting in still,” despite the lift in lockdown, the castle itself had remained closed which was odd in itself, “what do you think they would say to me if I turned up saying I can sense spiritual energy coming from the caverns and I need to enter immediately? They’d ship me off with the men in white coats, like they threatened to last time.” Last time, when I had stupidly opened my mouth about the Ellis Estate being haunted. That was how I had ended up on the pills in the first place for the psychiatrist they had assigned to me wanted to keep me on medication and though they made everything seem normal, they weakened my powers. Spirits weren't able to communicate with me as clearly when I had taken a dose of prozac that day.
“Life isn't like that stupid show on television. You know the one. That one hosted by that lady who used to present Blue Peter,” Mina had told me after that incident, “so don't go shouting about what you saw, little brother.”
The silence had grown under the pretence of our little outburst (a fun fact but our neighbours used to complain about us arguing. That is especially if we were arguing for most of the night and whenever Mina had taken to a bottle of vodka for divine retribution but now they had given up complaining. As if they were used to it or had just given up complaining to our extremely lazy landlord,) and the clicking of cutlery was distinct in the silence along with the sound of the throngs of people beginning to slowly pick up on this glorious Saturday morning in Cardiff. When she had finished her food, Mina idly picked at a loose thread which was hanging from her long nightie, smearing some of the eyeliner on her eyes as she pressed her hand to her forehead, one of her telltale signs of a headache coming on. 
“Look, I’m not going to argue with you but opportunity might not drop on our doorstep you know? The cards aren't always one hundred percent accurate,” she stated, confirming my suspicions of her using the cards for her own personal use but before I could question her on this, she continued to speak, “I was with a client yesterday afternoon when you had gone out to the shop to get your usual Lambert’s and he had confirmed one of my suspicions about that place by saying that on a dare, his fiancé had gone into the caverns at night with a group of his friends. What they found when exploring in the darkness with their torches was that the caverns connecting to the main cavern more than looked the same. They were the same. Not only that but at one point, he could hear the sounds of what he could only describe as a typewriter, the keys themselves being hit in rapid succession.” 
“He could have just been making that up you know?” I countered her, the story itself seeming a little farfetched to me. Then I thought of the Ellis Estate and immediately pushed the memories of that incident to the backs of my mind.
“That was what I thought so I asked the cards during his reading. He was speaking the truth, Lore. Apparently his fiancé had been in a state of panic, babbling about how it was the gateway to hell and all sorts of nonsense. Just like the caverns in Paris,” Paris. Another place I wanted to explore to confirm whether the ghost stories had a sliver of truth to them or were the result of overactive imaginations. After all, there was no gateway to hell. That just simply wasn't possible, “I know that look. Stop being so cynical. You’re a natural born medium for Christ’s sake!” 
“Fine. Fine. I’ll take a look next Saturday once we got through our appointments. In the mean time, I’ll consult my notes and spirit guides on the place itself but I want you to ask the cards something for me, big sister...” I replied back, running my hands through my short black hair, “ask them why it was that Lady Ellis had killed herself in the first place.” I bit my tongue as memories of blood covered walls and words came to my mind along with a horrendous, oppressive atmosphere which had driven every single owner of the property to selling it off as soon as possible, “and what connection her death, and our mother’s disappearance has to those caverns.”
-
The time soon came. I was prepared to meet somewhat with the tormented souls of the dead who lingered on the streets as well as under the earth. Reaching the tiny gate after slipping through the old iron gate which bared the general public from access (though it didn’t really stop people who wanted to sneak in. Such as myself,) I unlatched it before turning my torch on and entering. If there was any security to be found, no cameras could be seen in this cavern, nor in the entrance. Following the steps downwards, I immediately felt the chill along with a sense of dread which I managed to quell. Occasionally a vision of figures descending the steps with me would catch my eye but unless the spirits themselves wanted to show me something, I generally ignored such visions of static energy taking form. Continuing my descent further into the darkness, I eventually felt my feet hit the ground. 
The cavern itself looked small but it turned off into so many different little paths. The spiritual energy I was feeling here however, was off the charts and was getting stronger, the more I continued to walk. Until I felt a small hand grab my own.
“Where are you going, Lore?” An odd voice spoke in the darkness. Where there should have been a reverb off the cavern walls, there was nothing save for a normal sounding voice, “down there is nowhere. Nowhere and death. Like Ellis.” Turning, I felt a familiar pressure in the middle of my forehead. One of my spirit guides, a young boy of about nine who had died during the First World War, who called himself Zac, was standing before me, holding onto my hand.
“I have to go...” I said stupidly, knowing full well that my guides would try to stop me from landing myself into trouble again. Just like Ellis, “my mother...”
“...you will die if you go down there. Go back to Mina. Down there is nowhere and death...” The boy spoke, pleading with me not to go. I stopped for a moment, rubbing my forehead a little, my third eye quite firmly open. 
“What is down there?” I asked then and sudden chill went up my back at the thought. What was really in the centre of the earth itself? The boy didn’t reply however, instead when he opened his mouth, he began to make the clacking sound of what sounded like a typewriter’s keys being hit in rapid succession. Turning around, a vision assaulted my senses. A woman in a long dark coat was heading into the cavern. Shaking free of Zac’s grip, I followed after her, calling out to the woman as she disappeared further into the darkness. The light of my torch began to flicker the further I went in and the feeling of strong spiritual energy, along with something else was now assaulting my senses. A pure sense of dread. Just like Ellis. 
“Nothing is down there,” I heard once again behind me, “nothing and nowhere, and death.” I called out to the woman once again, knowing that there was no way she would be able to hear Zac with his oddly cryptic words. This time however, she stopped and remained stood still. As I continued my reassurances however, I approached her from behind slowly and placed my hand upon her shoulder. She didn’t turn around and it was only now did I notice the colour of her hair. Dark in the dim light of the torch, the cavern itself unlit for centuries (there were bracers on the walls) but it looked blonde which had been - to my horror, caked with mud, blood and other bits of gunk. Slowly, the woman began to laugh silently and as she turned around, I let out a terrified scream before I felt the tugging of Zac’s insistent hand and this time I followed him up, and out of the cavern. Where there should have been a face on the woman, there was none save for a burnt, featureless mass of flesh which was indistinguishable. And the laugh. It sounded like the clacking of keys on a typewriter! 
It was something which I would never forget for as long as I lived. 
The End.

- therapy #1 -
This place is a lot less... clean, for lack of a better word, than the pictures they put online. The building this therapist is in seems newer, but the waiting room is dingy, latticed aluminum ceiling holding up popcorn gray panels and yellowing fixtures for fluorescent lights. There’s a rack in the corner holding worn children’s books and a tired-looking wooden train set abandoned behind a set of threadbare office chairs.
There’s also no receptionist behind the front desk, just a window with a sign that says, in both English and Spanish, “PLEASE WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE.” The lights aren’t on back there, but there are forms and a sign-in sheet waiting for you on the ledge.
This is stupid. You scratch your name and the time, take the loose leaf papers, and get started.
Yeah, yeah, basic demographic information. Insurance—well, technically you’re still on your dad’s, but he doesn’t even live in this country anymore, and fuck if you can remember the information. Family history? You don’t know anything about this. Personal medical stuff? The only time you’ve been in the hospital was for rehab. They want to know what medications you’re on, too, which is awkward, because you don’t know the name or the dose of what Fucker gave you, you just know it’s not working.
Underneath those basics are questionnaires, Becks something or other. All of these questions are stupid. You score a 31 on the first one (kind of depressing) and a 22 on the second (not so bad, really). After circling all the numbers and x-ing all the boxes, you don’t really have anything else.
So you wait.
Click the pen a little bit in your hand, twirl it around your fingers. Your dexterity got thrown off a little bit again by last weekend’s events, but you’ll get it back eventually, right? You jiggle your leg, crack your neck. One of the lights is humming obnoxiously. There’s a fly trapped under one of the busted metal quarter-inch blinds. With this much time, you let your eyes trace out patterns in how the dirty linoleum peels up from the floor at the seams.
You’re almost nodding off when the door to the office opens. “Oh!” a female voice says softly, keys jangling. “Are you early, or am I late?”
“Are you Alex?”
“Yes, hello!” She’s already looking in her phone. She might be a few years older than you if you had to guess, brown-skinned with long black hair, wearing floaty clothes in neutral colors with long gold earrings. Damn it. You had been hoping for a dude—and that tiny expectation takes you by surprise. You make a mental note of it for later. “Oh, I was late, I’m so sorry. Please, follow me.”
You stand up—had your feet really fallen asleep?—and get ushered into a tiny side room, only just wide enough to fit a full-length overstuffed couch with too many tasseled throw pillows. When you take a seat, it wheezes. The corduroy feels crumbly under your fingertips.
Alex shuts the door behind her, blocking out the dead, clinical light of the waiting room. It’s much darker in here, only lit by a nightstand lamp with maybe a fake candle bulb in it. Alex sits down in a large armchair, her bag landing heavy on the floor when she drops it and starts looking for something. “You’re a new client, right?”
“Yeah. I filled out all this paperwork.” You offer her the stack.
“Oh, yes, thank you.” She apparently had been looking for a pen and a clipboard, because your papers get neatly pinned and she starts taking notes immediately. “So, John, how did you find out about us?”
You shrug. “I did a Google search. This was the only place that had an appointment this fast.”
“Oh, that’s because I had cleared my schedule for Good Friday.” Shit, you’re so out of it that you forgot it was a holiday weekend. “I’m glad you came in. Now, what brought you in to see us?”
You freeze.
You were expecting this question, yeah, got dogged by it for four hours last night while you were unable to sleep and worrying about Dolch. That doesn’t mean you have a good answer for it. You’re pretty sure you filled out a thing online for this place (or maybe it was for one of the ten other places you tried to get ASAP appointments). Why can’t she look on there? Whatever. You pick the simplest answer first. “I went to rehab and they said I needed to keep doing therapy when I got out, so I thought I would start.”
Alex’s pen stops. “Rehab? For a... drug addiction?”
“Alcohol.” Dead and clipped off.
“Oh, right.” Like it wasn’t as serious as Percocet or heroin. “Well, we don’t really do addiction counseling here—or alcoholism counseling, whatever—but I can see what else I can do to help you today. Maybe get you a referral. How does that sound?”
Something in that guarded, hopeful part of you deflates, an already-drooping Mylar GET WELL SOON balloon destroyed by a dart. “Fine.”
“Oh, you didn’t fill out this section of the form.” She tilts the clipboard towards you and gestures to it with her pen.
“That’s because I don’t know.”
“Don’t know your family medical history?”
“Not really.” Is it that surprising? “We didn’t really talk about that stuff a whole lot.”
“Ah, right, gotcha.” She sounds like she got a bunch of insight about you out of that last sentence. “Did you bring your medications with you?”
“Just the one.” You were careful to bring this in your jeans pocket, so no one would have to see you manipulating your sylladex to get to the goods. The pills you got from Fucker look pathetic in this little snack baggie, but it’s all you had. “I lost the bottle, sorry, I forget what this is.”
Alex peers at it under the low light, then draws back into her own space. “Looks like a low dose of sertraline.”
“What now?”
“Generic Prozac.” Oh, wow. Fucker really put you on an antidepressant. Like that’s supposed to help with whatever has your brain this rustled. “Just a baby dose,” she says, like that’s supposed to make you feel any better. “How long have you been taking it?”
“Just since Sunday.”
“Any side effects?”
“Not much of anything, really.”
She clicks her tongue. “That’s too bad.” What the hell does that mean? She flips over to another piece of paper in your makeshift chart, tapping her pen down the page until she turns to the next one. “Thirty-one, yes, same number. Oh, dear, that’s not good.”
“What does that mean?”
“That’s in the range for severe depression, Jonathan.” Ugh. You hate it when people try to get cute with your name. “And the anxiety inventory, this is in the moderate anxiety range. Good thing you got an appointment!”
“Yeah, no kidding.” There’s no mirth in your voice, yet no sarcasm, either. No one told you therapy would be this boring.
“Well,” And Alex jingles her wrist to shake her bracelets away from her watch, “that might be all the time we have for an initial appointment like this. I’m sorry we can’t take you on long term, but if you’d like, I can send on your name to another practice. Oh, and, credit card, please.”
She plugs a chip reader into her phone port as you fork over the plastic. You feel a little nonplussed. You’re pretty sure you scheduled for an hour, and you’ve been here for much longer, but you could have sworn this whole thing in this room only took a few minutes. “I guess,” is all you really have to say.
Alex is focused on her phone again, then smiles as the app resolves the transaction. “Great!” she says, far too chipper. “Well, check your portal, and by the end of next week, you should have a message from us about next steps.”
“End of next week?” Full offense, but you’ve already been waiting long enough for an appointment when you’re in so much emotional pain it literally feels like it’s cracking your sternum in two.
“Yeah, all referrals take at least 72 hours and it’s a holiday weekend. Thanks for your time!” She’s already standing, opening the door to usher you out.
Good. You don’t want to be here any longer. “Thanks,” you tell her, an automatic politeness, but as you leave the office and take the elevator down to the building lobby, all you feel is confused. And kind of laughing at yourself for how seriously you took it. If it’s all going to be bullshit, at least you know what to expect for next time.

When You’re Lost, I’ll Lead You Back Home
A/N: Ok I was trying to write a heart wrenching one shot adorable Elounor fluff, so I don’t know where the hell this even came from, but there is fluff in it somewhere (At the end mostly. So I apologize in advance if your heart breaks a little). Also, both the title and the quote/caption at the end are from the acoustic version of “Lighthouse” by Hearts and Colors. 
Trigger warning for descriptions of depression and slight mention of self-harm.
ANYWAY. 
Eleanor waited in the pharmacy line impatiently. She hated being here. Confidentiality be damned, if anyone heard her say her name and recognized it, no doubt they would listen just a little too carefully to see if they could hear the name of her medication. Perhaps she was just being paranoid, but she didn’t like giving people new reasons to antagonize her.
            “Next”, the technician at the counter called her forward.
            “Hi, I’m here to pick up Prozac?” She said the name of the antidepressant as if she were picking a real drug deal.
            “Okay, first and last name?”
            She swallowed thickly, “Eleanor Calder.”
The tech punched it into his computer and returned with a bag containing her bottle of pills. “That will be €12.00, Ms. Calder.” El swiped her credit card shakily before grabbing her receipt, stuffing it all into her purse and returning to her car where she locked the doors and recomposed herself. What was so scary about some pills? She had been on them once before and it had helped.
She pushed her thoughts aside and drove home, heels clicking as she opened the front door to Bruce jumping up on her and barking. “Oh shush you, I’ve only been gone for an hour!” Maybe if Louis had been here to entertain the dogs, but he was always gone at something. Sometimes he didn’t get home until one in the morning, and she would have a brief recollection the next morning of hearing the shower on, and then callused fingers gently moving her fingers off the pillow she was snuggling against in her sleep so he could crawl in next to her.
Eleanor hated the pills but she hated the numbness even more. Sad wasn’t even a good word for it. It was like someone had turned down the volume on her life or reduced her from a blazing fire to the fragile candlelight of a single wick. Sometimes she wanted her fire back so much that she let every awful emotion in her take over, entertained horrible thoughts.
Like how Louis had left her for a year and a half without barely a word, except to tell her he knocked someone up exactly two months after they broke up. Or how people didn’t stop the hate then like she thought they would. Her Instagram comments usually had very little to do with her, even months later. She wasn’t stupid enough to leave commenting enabled this time around. The only twitter account she used now was locked and unverified. She was getting worked up over this particular problem when Louis had the misfortune of coming home early.
“El? You home?”
She was laying on the couch with Bruce, simmering with frustration about hundreds of pointless situations. “Yeah.”
“You alright? You forgot to feed the dogs again, Love,” He said to her from the entryway as he took his jacket off.
“Well sorry if I don’t remember everything!” She said rolling her eyes.
“Whoa, chill out. I’m just trying to make sure the dogs survive.” He said it lightly, trying to joke with her.
She didn’t care. “What do you think the dogs are going to fucking do? If Clifford is anything like his owner, he’ll just go find somebody who gives him all the food he wants, maybe knock up some bitch without even realizing it, and then he’ll come back a year or two later when he realizes just what it was he gave up.” She shots at him without even bothering to see his reaction.
“Fuck it. I’m not doing this again. What is with you just being straight up… I don’t even know…mean? It’s like you’re fine and then one day you have to remind me of every single thing I ever fucked up in our relationship.” He sat on the couch across from her.
“Well, it’s a long list. And if you want kindness in the girlfriend contract,” She began sarcastically, “Tell them I want a yacht and a boyfriend who comes home before two in the morning.”
Louis just shook his head. “You want a fight from me? Fine. You knew what you were getting into when we started dating. You didn’t have to come back.”
“Right, because you weren’t begging me to?” Eleanor feels guilt in the very back of her mind tugging at her to stop.
“Is it such an awful thing that I wanted you back?”
“Depends on the day.” She said to the ceiling.
“Screw this, you are fucking impossible, I have more important things to do than argue about this.”
Eleanor was enraged now. “Is there ever going to be a day when there isn’t something more important than me in your life?” She stands up as she speaks and throws her empty mug of tea across the room, where it shatters against a wall. “I hate you right now”, and with those words, she grabs her blanket and runs up the staircase to the bedroom slamming the door.
******
Louis rested his hands on the counter and shakes his head in confusion. That’s when he saw the familiar tiny bottle. He picked it up to confirm his suspicions, and it’s exactly the medication he assumed it to be. Shit. He remembers Eleanor now, how tuned out of everything she has been, how he was the one who encouraged her to at least see her doctor a week or two ago. The seal on the bottle is still there, meaning she hadn’t actually taken any yet either.
His brain floods with images from the last time she had needed the meds. He remembers with searing detail that night in late 2014 when he came home from the tour to his Mum’s house, where Eleanor had been staying for the week. Lottie caught him at the door.
“Something’s wrong with Eleanor, Lou.”
“What do you mean something is wrong...is she sick?” Louis had demanded at the time.
Lottie looked at the ground, “Not the kind of sick you’re thinking of. I think it’s all the things people have been saying lately. It’s gotten worse. People are all over us lately.”
“Us? What do you mean?” He asked with eyebrows furrowed in concern.
“It’s not just El, Louis. They are everywhere, saying your relationship was never real. All of my social media accounts, Fizz has a twitter inbox filled with DMs just pertaining to that subject, even the comments on Daisy and Phoebes’ Instagrams.” She said solemnly. 
Louis hugged his sister tight. “Thank God you and Fizz don’t subscribe to any of that shit. You always stood up for me Lots. Swipe the twins phones and put filters on their comments if you can.”
“Got it. And we always have Mum here too. I think she’s with El right now actually.” 
“Where is she?” Louis had found her laying on the couch staring off into nothingness. He had bent down and spoke to her quietly about how a doctor was going to come see her, explained that she had to eat something, and told her how much he loved her. Later that night, he went to the guest room to check on her and found five exhausted girls asleep in one queen sized bed. Eleanor was sandwiched between Lottie and Phoebe, who laid next to Daisy, curled up against Felicity. He realized every single one of these girls had dealt with something because of his fame and his heart broke a little as he closed the door.
He had gotten through it, though. She had been put on antidepressants, fed an endless amount of food by his mother, gone out with Lottie, watched movies with the twins, and held in his arms every night until it slowly but surely got better. He had cried with her in the middle of the night when he had caught her without a sweatshirt on and seen the remains of a jagged inch and a half long cut on her left arm, that was nearly healed by then.
He never wanted her to feel like that again, and he had tried so hard to protect her. He should have realized sooner. Eleanor was never angry. She only used anger as a bodyguard for sorrow. All at once Louis came to his senses and ran to their bedroom where he was met with a locked door.
“El?” He knocked on the door. “El, just let me in.”
“Fucking leave me alone”, she shouted meekly at him.
He sighed and leaned on the door frame before reaching up to grab the hex key that opened the door in case of emergency. He popped the lock open and found Eleanor in a sports bra, laying on her back on their bed staring at the ceiling, hugging a pillow to her chest.
“You’re not very good at listening, you know that?” She remarked without looking at him. He laid down next to her, watching her face, devoid of animation as she searched the endless expanse of white ceiling above her.
“That’s true. Sometimes I’m a shit listener. But I don’t think that’s the problem here. If I’m going to listen, you’re going to have to talk." He dared to touch her then, pressing his fingers against the almost invisible scar on her left arm. She turned toward him then and he silently took her pillow and placed his other hand on her face. She closed her eyes and leaned into his hand, hinting at tears.
“Why do you put up with me?” Louis’ smiled sadly as her façade finally faded away.
“That one is easy,” he brushed her hair back behind her ear, “You put up with me, so we’re even.”
“I’m so sorry Lou.” She whispered through tears.
Louis shushed her then and sat up leaning against their bed plush headboard, gathering El into his arms, noticing just how light she was, realizing how little he had actually seen her eat lately. She had broken into sobs. He saw her phone laying on the bed, presumably from earlier, opened to Instagram. He knew exactly what she had been doing. Scrolling through comments on her older photos, where people still came back to verbally torture her since she had disabled commenting on her newer photos. Hatred strung through the vomit of text, asking her how much she was paid to show up and look pretty, how she was ruining Louis’ life, that she was ugly and things far worse. “It’s okay, Love. Screw them. All that matters is that I love you.” He held her tight against his chest and let her cry.
“I’m so fucking done, Lou. What’s going to happen if we get married, or I get pregnant? You know I’m not Brianna’s biggest fan, but there’s a whole group of people who say her baby isn’t even real. That your child isn’t real.” Her frustration and fears poured out now.
“I know, and I hate it just as much, but what can I do? El, they find a way to twist everything around. If I barely touch you, they say you’re some contracted girlfriend, and if I talk about you and hold you close, they say I’m clearly trying to put on a good show. We could make a fucking sex tape, and they would say management made us do it.” He smiled a bit at her.
She smiled for a moment too, before shrinking back into herself, whispering again. “I hate those stupid pills. It makes me feel like I can’t handle my own life.” His hands enclosed hers, warming up her cold fingers.
“Love, you didn’t choose to be this way any more than Mum chose her cancer. There is nothing to be ashamed of about taking pills to help any part of you that’s gotten a little mixed up or broken along the way. I’m sorry that being in a relationship with me comes with so much pain.” He pushed a strand of her hair back behind her ear then.
Eleanor went silent for a moment, “No. It’s not the relationship. I could be living the high life with the money and the fame. I could brush off every stupid comment easily if all I was doing was wearing the label of Louis Tomlinson’s girlfriend.” She wiped the tears away with her with her wrist. Louis looked confused.
“It’s when you come home from somewhere late at night and kiss me while I’m half asleep until my lips are swollen. It’s when I wake up from nightmares and you pull me against you until my heart rate slows down. It’s when you call and check up on me and kiss my neck and make sure I’m okay in the middle of sex. Being in a relationship was never the painful part, Lou, it was loving you that had consequences.”
Louis didn’t know how to respond. He pondered over her statement. “So you’re saying life would be- “, he swallowed thickly, “Life would be easier if you didn’t love me?”
E tilted her head back. “Hell yeah it would be easier”, She hesitated then looking at him again, “but I would take you over an easy life any day. I would have never come back if I thought I could live without you. Fuck, I need you. Don’t leave me.” She didn’t care one bit how that made her sound as she buried her head in his neck. Louis kissed her temple.
“Hey, look at me. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Yeah?” Eleanor held his gaze.
“Yeah.” And just like that, she was kissing him, both crying gently. She didn’t care. Louis kissed her through the tears. She finally pulled away to breathe, inhaling the familiar scent of cologne and cigarettes. Right here in this moment, she felt safe.
“You are freezing, Love”, Louis commented as he combed his fingers through her hair gently, “Here, you go and get a jumper and I’m going to get you some water and Tylenol, and I don’t want any complaints about it, deal?”
El nodded as they separated and Louis left the room. She changed into warmer leggings than the thin joggers she had on. Designer clothes were cute, but often very impractical. She stepped over the mess of their walk-in closet, searching through her endless high-end sweaters, nothing really looking comfortable as she looked further back into her older things. She laughed as she pulled her selection off its hanger, the sweatshirt was ridiculous, and she had no idea how it had survived. It had been an exclusive white hoodie from the Take Me Home tour that had “Live while we’re young” written on the front in a graffiti font and the tour name much smaller at the bottom. The back was supposed to have all the boys’ last names down the back, but being a girlfriend meant she had somehow scored one that just said, Tomlinson. When she had jokingly asked Louis to sign it, he wrote both of their names above his last name. She smiled, pulling on the heavy, real sweatshirt material.
Louis was equally amused as he returned to the room with water and saltines, laughing at the memory as he walked back to their bed. “Where did you find that?” He took her hand to help her up onto the bed and grabbed his phone. “Here, pull your hair to the side, I really need a picture of the back of that.” El groaned.
“Saltines now, photo op later.” Louis complied with her demands, letting her binge on crackers and water while he told her mindless ramblings about the day. Eventually, her eyelids grew heavy and she curled up against him, using his chest as a pillow, her head tucked to the side under his chin. He combed her hair off to the side and kissed the top of her head. Bruce and Clifford examined the scene and jumped on the bed, Bruce laying down next to Louis so he could check on his girl. Clifford curled up near the top and off to the side, just barely resting his head near the two of them. Louis glanced around at his little family and took out his phone. Holding it up in selfie mode, he managed to get him and the back of Eleanor’s shirt, hinting at her face as she was tucked tightly against him, and both dogs just barely fit into the sides of the photo.
He pulled a blanket up over them as he did something he hadn’t in a while. He pulled up Instagram and found the photo he had just taken. Nothing he could post would prevent the world from analyzing his life, but he decided that wasn’t going to stop him from posting about his girlfriend. He clicked next and thought for a moment before captioning the photo.
Follow me when it’s dark out. I will be, I will be your lighthouse.
Louis hit post and pulled his girlfriend tight, turning to his side, while she subconsciously wrapped her arms around him from behind and he grabbed her hand, closing his eyes as he silently vowed to himself that he would never let her go.

On Hereditary Angioedema and Medical Marijuana
     I was born with this rare disease that only really started getting problematic when I was a teenager, and has been getting worse as the years go by. It is called Hereditary Angioedema (HAE for short). It isn’t very well known, and it has a number of triggers. The most notable is stress. Physical stress will likely cause a reaction in the area (say I get hit in the hand, my hand will be affected), while mental stress causes life to play a bit of a wheel of fortune game with me. I liken it to being deathly allergic to stress, even if there are other triggers and it isn’t an allergy really. Antihistamines and other medications for allergies just don’t do anything. Minus make me sleepy. Likely in too much pain to sleep, so my attempts to summon the Sandman and capture him in a cage to answer for ding dong ditching me is just added to the list. Comparing it to an allergy is just the simplest way to describe it.
Tumblr media
     Much like how a bee allergy is often depicted, my limbs, organs, and even more..sensitive areas can swell to 2-3 times their size. This is painful and annoying at its best, debilitating normally, and can be fatal at its worse. It seems to hit everyone differently, which isn’t surprising given that stress is a factor and everyone is unique in that regard, and with me the potentially fatal area that likes to torment me most is the gastrointestinal system. Annoyingly, I also have what some with HAE call ‘wandering swelling’. So, say my hand swells up. This normally lasts for 2-5 days. As the swelling goes down, it will ‘move’ to the forearm. As it goes through its process, it can them more to my bicep or, oddly, to my other arm.
     To add to this, I have ADHD. The variant that is especially prone to hyperactivity. You may be under the assumption that a hyperactive person is basically Daffy Duck when he has lost it. ‘Woohoo! Hoho! Woohoo!’ Running everywhere, interacting with everything. Robin Williams on stage is another way to describe it. I am the guy that meth addicts have mistaken for being on crack or meth. I have never touched anything harder than Pot, and that is for medical reasons. Stone sober people think I am one something and pissy, as I talk a mile a minute.
     Here is the thing, least with my type, even when we are calmly sitting down, our thoughts are pumping. Our minds are going a mile a minute. Every sound, every bit of movement. We might not make a visual note of it, but somewhere in our minds, we have examined every aspect of it. Stressing out over it, freaking out about it. To put it simply, I am not 100% certain I know what it truly means to chill. I know being relaxed, but I know ME being relaxed. Which still tends to involve my mind ripping some subject apart. Just depends on what I feed it. I am always stressed.
The kicker is because they are afraid that I am going to go off and sell ADHD medicine instead of, you know, use it for the disorder it was invented for, I have been unable to find someone who will prescribe an Adult like me medication. I have trouble even finding someone who will diagnose me. I was diagnosed and treated with countless ADHD medicines as a kid. It was just one I became a teenager that the medical profession decided my mental health did not outweigh the potential they couldn’t trust me not to sell my medication. So, as of writing this, I have been unable to find official assistance on ADHD for nearly a decade, if not more. Not without lack of trying.
     Going to the doctor has proven only helpful in these cases where I could potentially die from my body’s overreaction to stress. The only medication they will offer me are these steroids that drove my birth mother, with the same disorder, mental. Kinda happens when you have to take steroids for the rest of your life I hear! Luckily, as with most people on the west coast, I had friends who smoked pot!
     Turns out, with my mixture of ADHD and traumatic childhood/adult experiences, that shit evens me out. Instead of countless different medications flung at me with side effects including: Sparking my HAE like crazy, that lovely feeling of being a mental zombie, feeling claustrophobic in a meadow, INTENSE CAPS DEMANDING IRRITABILITY, and potential organ failure; I get the munchies. Maybe more into Steven Universe and Adventure Time than is healthy at my age.
     Problem is that in order the get this magical medicine I have to go through all these forms and pay quite a bit of money (sometimes they quote $85, sometimes $500. I get fired from jobs for this disability before I can even remember my manager’s name, so that ain’t happening. Don’t even get a discount off the meds! Just the POTENTIAL to not be fired for the medication. Yet I can easily get a prescription for this medication that’ll make me gain possibly 5 new mental disorders in the process and go postal and medical insurance will pay off every bit of that. Doctors even agree with me on this, but they can only apologize that they aren’t allowed to give a prescription. Only recommend it. That isn’t their fault, the fact it is still considered more dangerous than cocaine. I consider it far safer than Prozac. Especially if mixed with other medicines.
     Now it is recreationally legal! Hooray. You can’t read my tone. Let me try again, Hoo-fuckin-ray.
     You see, a problem with it being legal, yet still being unable to afford the cost of that ‘recommendation’ then you are just another guy wanting to smoke up. The deals for medicinal weed painted everywhere while you still can’t afford the subscription fee for the price.
     “It is worth it in the savings!” The counter said. Tell me, would you feel comfortable hearing that when the context is the medicine keeping you stable both physically and mentally? When you still have to pay for the medication but at a discounted price, why doesn’t all the evidence showing this would assist me get me that card? That card that would have saved me a world of stress when I had to hold the label of criminal just for waiting for a business minded self starter (we give our dealers many names to make it feel less horrible. I am partial to medicine man!) in an alley or a parking lot hoping no one has realized you have been sitting in that car an hour, and have done so every week for months. That is, if you are lucky enough to find a dealer who won't ghost you, cancel at the last moment (as in an hour after when you were supposed to meet them), or just run out.
     When it was made legal, I sat in lines with others who couldn’t afford the medical card while the more vocal, the ones here just to get high, talk about all the amazing stuff they can afford. How shatter and dabs are fantastic, how all these different edibles and strains work. While I, thanks to my incredibly understanding and supportive Dad, have $20 for that week, and the next, and the next. I have to string that $20 out as long as I can. Not for any fault of my Dad’s, there are still other bills that must be paid. The help he has given me so far is enough the guy deserves a medal or a statue in my eyes, but taxes can really make something that is already rather pricy quite high. So it is depressing, frustrating, and potentially soul destroying to see your medication evolve from political punching bag to cash cow, while still falling into the cracks.
     But those munchies are gonna just destroy America, right guys?

On Chronophobia and ADHD – RB with Hestia Peppe
RB: hey, i think i just self-diagnosed with ADHD, am i right in thinking that's something you know about? would welcome any recs you might have for reading/resources
.
RB: (it would explain so muchhhh)
.
RB: (also wondering about the rel between ADHD and trauma)
.
HP: Oooh yes! ADHD is definitely the errr paradigm I am working with right now if that's a way to think about it.
.
HP: I am actually amazed by how practically useful it has been to think in these terms.
But I will say in terms of research/resources stuff is thin on the ground and mixed up with a lot of neurocognitive research which i find quite dodgy in places, not to mention the (very american) pharmaceutical agenda.The best stuff i found has been self advocacy descriptive personal account stuff, and that has been very much a process of reading between the lines.
Basically, people with ADHD tend to at least appear quite ‘high functioning’ (not an ideal phrase because hierarchies) so go undetected often, and then its very very stigmatised, i would say, in that often symptoms or traits are judged in moral terms. The most important sort of secondary ideas i have found are about Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, and anxiety as a hugely comorbid secondary issue which is more likely to be treated than the ADHD itself.
The relationship to discipline and goal-setting is formative, as is chronophobia or a traumatised relation to time, and sometimes memory. The neurocognitive hypothesis is that it’s a problem in the dopamine cycle, so process is more fulfilling than completion of work; but i am super skeptical about neurotransmitter theories.
.
HP: As far as its relation to trauma goes, i would say it probably renders us more vulnerable to CPTSD. Lack of diagnosis or 'management' of ADHD leads to problematic coping mechanisms, leading possibly to abusive or addictive behaviours or on the other end vulnerability from a lack of or funky interpersonal boundaries. But whether anything is causal/symptomatic or comorbid seems always particularly hard to tell with ADHD, partly because of the non-typical relation to time.
HP: The neurocognitive hypothesis is that it’s a problem in the dopamine cycle, so [that] process is more fulfilling than completion of work, but i am super skeptical about neurotransmitter theories.
.
HP: On the plus side, [my] university and NHS [practitioners] have both been really encouraging about seeking help for it and getting a psychiatric diagnosis, which i am interested in, tho will no doubt have its downsides.
Most important, i think, is that mental health problems are treated in the context of ADHD as a constitution, rather than [in isolation], and i think that would go for trauma stuff too. Apparently ADHD folks have less success with SSRIs than others.
I think a body focused/somatic approach [is] v. v. productive, for both ADHD and trauma.
Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria [also] seems key. It’s the idea that the emotional impact of rejection is almost irrationally high in many ADHD folks, but [then again] this may be a traumatised relation from the stigma of ADHD, and literally being reprimanded more often than neurotypical folks, rather than being an essential difference. So if there's an interaction with trauma specific to ADHD it might be related to emotional response to external stimuli being higher.
.
RB: gosh, yea.
.
HP: Sorry so much.
.
RB:  Wondering how receptive my gp would be to my requesting an adult diagnosis
.
HP: My GP was like ‘yes, will refer u immediately’, but that’s with a recommendation from an Ed Psych which uni paid for. *UPDATE: NHS maybe aren’t doing this as quickly as i thought, so it remains to be seen if they follow through; and university seems to just be sending me through as many hoops as possible, lots of assessments, minimal support systems.
.
RB: ok
.
RB:  i saw this on Twitter – ‘ADHD Explained Using Comics’ by Dani Donovan,1
and, like, so much of it is me. ,2So much. idk what chronophobia is but def. have weird relationship with time. Very weird.
.
HP:  I have sort of made up chronophobia but am sure its a thing.
..
RB: 'comorbidity'
.
RB:  i feel lost in time.
.
HP: It seems to me the best stuff around is DIY stuff exactly like the comics u link to
.
RB: also – trouble starting anything; trouble finishing without hard external deadlines – so me.
 .
RB: why i never write
.
HP:  I think these are like the defining traits tbh
.
RB: even tho i want/need to be writing
.
RB: + procrastinating
.
HP:  Comorbidity is the creepiest word
.
RB: as described ^^
HP:  Same!
RB: do u medicate for it, may i ask? seems like mindfulness / meditation cld really be helpful
RB:  i had an insane year on citalopram
HP: In America they see it as essential to medicate for it from a v early age but i am like v v v skeptical
.
RB: sertraline seemed better
.
HP:  I took Prozac for 5 years; it didn’t do much except make me sleepy and a bit ok with shit life, but for ADHD it’s Ritalin or Vyvanse, so treatment with low constant dose of stimulants (*sometimes also something called dopamine blockers, but I don't know the details).
RB: ok; so, like coffee? just on my risky 2nd cup.
HP:  I dont myself want this prescription.
HP:  Am sure mindfulness etc v. good, but i do think body-focused methods best.
RB: ok
HP: I read this Twitter by Erynn Brook (sp?), and she advocates meds but also talks a lot about building in good coping mechanisms like how you organise yrsrlf in space/time in ways that work for u.
RB: yea; more interested in strategy
HP: So yeah strategy v. key.
RB: hey thanks so much, also in as much as i may unconsciously have posited u as gatekeeper. couldn’t have hoped for a more helpful reply.
HP: No worries! It’s good talking to other people about it cos the grand narrative of it is well shaky
HP: One thing i have worked out is that it’s all just emerging now so u can’t really gatekeep it, thank fuck. Glad to be helpful always. Check out Erynn Brook and remember being kind to yourself cos probably u havent been being if u just got to this point.
[time passes]
RB: hey, i'd really like to hear a bit more about your thinking on chronophobia;
it stayed with me as a strong motif.  felt so 'full' when you said it it took me a while to realise i hadn't asked u to describe it.
HP: Yes I would love to see you and talk about all this stuff. I have thoughts tjoughts thought ... Google searching ‘Chronophobia’ brings up this book from MIT about art in the 60s:
https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/chronophobia. It appears to be also a term in use in psychology/self help; is in wiktionary, and appears to mean the obvious: fear of the passing of time. Associations with incarcerated people, particularly, suffering from it and also anyone suffering from heightened stress and anxiety. Searching chronophobia + ADHD, there are plenty of hits, so, again, this seems a well-made connection. I’m also thinking about ‘Chrononormativity’, an idea i was first introduced to by my friend Helen Stuhr Rommereim, and which I think she gets from Elizabeth Freeman (possibly via Lauren Berlant), in relation to ‘queer time’ or a failure to achieve normative milestones in the time allotted, such as maturity, childbearing, marriage. Her paper on this is included in the documentation of a conference about Chris Kraus we both attended in 2013, which is where we met as we were on the same panel. 3
HP: Context in my work right now – all of this to do with ideas about speculation, past/present/future, chance/fate, resistance to goal/plan/target, not knowing what to do.
I’m currently doing some early/cursory research into the mythology of the fates (Ancient Greek and other cultures) as spinners, and thread as line; trying to parse linearity and how it might or might not relate to neurodivergence/neurotypicality. I like lines as a way of following or tracing, and also drawing as well as writing –thinking a lot about the work of Renee Gladman, who is interested in architecture and fiction (prose architectures), and works with drawing and writing and the relation between the two – so, also automatic and asemic writing. I also think a lot about Ariadne’s red thread in the labyrinth, and now that i am trying to learn to spin, how all threads are made of many tiny ones. This trying to spin has grown out of an old durational performance work i have done for years – so, durational performance, as a form, is part of this, maybe, for me. I always like the durational form, as it is more about setting up boundaries in space and then letting time happen than [it is about] existing in linear time. Chronophobia as anxiety about mortality, and control, or volition/agency; or the trace of subjectivity in the world (cf maybe tim ingold). Also, there are two types of time in the classical sense: Kairos (the now) and Chronos (history), or something like that.  None of this is fact-checked, I must say.Tarot cards relating to time are: wheel of fortune, temperance, death, the hanged man.
HP: Not sure i am doing this right, but thought some context to the earlier conversation might be useful for orientation, at the same time as thinking about my own self-diagnosis of ADHD and how it relates to knowledge and action and intention and access. Not sure if you saw this on my Twitter, but I thought it was a very good overview of neurodiversity discourse as it stands: https://www.janinebooth.com/content/two-and-half-cheers-neurodiversity
RB: Thanks. You’re doing this very right, I’d say.  Like somewhere back in the transcript there is a ‘gosh, yea’ of mine which stands in as a marker for the point at which my mind was blown, began to make new neural connections, bathed in a sort of speechless radiant awe for what you said; and this feels the same only more so, galaxy brain in mandelbrot – only grounded in and by your efforts to verbalise it and connect it with your work and that of others. That this is what you’re working on for your doctorate – I am awed and excited to know it. I would really like to be present when you perform.  I’m really impressed by your articulation. I feel such a relieved shock of recognition for chronophobia as you describe it, as something I had begun to acknowledge and articulate internally, but never outside myself, verbally or otherwise; nor had any inkling that it might be tangled up with ADHD ... nor that it is something other people experience or know about, nor that you are working on it in this profound way. I feel less alone and am honoured that you shared this here with us.
RB: Also – ehheh!  I saw today that we both liked this tweet
RB: Another highlight, for me, of today’s feed –
RB: I’m always keen for writers’ writing on technique, scanning in case I find a key there to my own outward articulacy and/or the means to vanquish distraction/avoidance. Just remembered when the poet Lucy Mercer said to me that as a writer, I’m a weaver. I was happy with that then and I am happy with it here, in this context. 4
HP: Hey! This is all so kind of you to say I am sort of overwhelmed. I can't believe i have even been paid for this already, so shout out to that. I made up chronophobia because  i wanted a way to describe my fear of time. I dont think it was really to talk to anyone else about it. I looked it up afterwards when I mentioned it to you I guess i have really let you have it with the inner monologue. I looked it up after I mentioned it to you. I figured that this had, you know, happened before, that other people would already be using this word. And they are. As a sort of intra-post-script, it is important to say that in terms of ADHD I came to this knowledge or understanding after like 12 years working as a private tutor, and without the students I worked with in that time I don’t see how I would have got to this articulation, so immense gratitude and respect to them for the thinking we did together about how thinking and learning work for different people.
HP: I was going to email you and ask for a deadline today but in the end i didn't write any emails because i was just spinning yarn on the wheel. It’s an amazing process learning to do it. Like a truly never-has-to-end embodied action. I think it could be the best way to replace some obsessive Twitter scrolling. My dad totally gets it. He says singing while spinning, that's the thing, he's heard. I learnt how to learn things from him mostly. I think maybe both my folks have ADHD. It’s supposed to be super heritable.
HP: My mum's a doctor. That's maybe where I get the cavalier attitude to discussing stuff like this you are supposed to be an expert to be allowed to think about. I am absolutely not an expert except perhaps of my own experience. Which this is, but but i push it, i know that. tho I don’t want the meds, I absolutely want to stress i am not like totally against meds. Chemicals are fine and good. Like coffee or you know whatever works. I am just in favour of people being given the best possible understanding of any treatment they undergo. I feel like i wanna unwind my own coping mechanisms like manually. Maybe that's a perk of late diagnosis – for me, anyway.
HP: I have to stop now. I am in a park and it’s dark now. I was sitting in the park cos i was an hour early to get a lift from my friend because i was so worried about being late. It’s perfect timing though. If you like sitting in parks watching orange street-lamps through blossom as if they are the sunset like some kinda shook moth. Which I do. And then type super fast into a phone cos you know someone asked.
HP: Thanks xx
RB: <3
RB: Thank you

High Insurance Rate for RX-8 05'?
I'm 20 years old and have been driving for 4 years now. As of recently, I own a RX-8 05' (1st Car), No prior accidents, never gotten a ticket. Nothing negative what-so-ever with vehicles or finances. I'm paying $1600 and change every six months including discounts such as Military, anti-lock brakes, etc. Insurance company is Gieco. I took in to account that I am in fact a young male with a race car but with no intentions to drive reckless. Its a car that I plan to have for a few years and enjoy driving it before I get something more economically sufficient. My question is... Is this a reasonable payment? Do perks and lower rates come the longer your with a company and continue safe driving?""

How much will my car insurance increase?
I went for over eight years without getting a ticket and got one over a year ago and one recently. I accepted and paid the fine--improper-turns--learned my lesson the hard way. Anyway, I have been with the same insurer or 6 years and saw a decrease in my rate last year, despite the ticket. My insurer only views records at renewal and mine is not up for almost a year. By then, my first ticket will be about two years old--if they notice it next year. I am middle-aged and get a multi--vehicle and home discount and don't live in the city. My car and truck are about 150 a month or both, with full coverage. How much do you think it might increase to? Thanks.""
