it's better to be fake

life hadn't quite been the same after the car accident. felicity thought this rather dryly - because this wasn't really life, not in the sense that most people meant it. she hadn't even expected to go anywhere when she realized she was dying. it had been one of those car accidents - the damage had been bad, but not bad enough to kill her instantly; no, felicity remembers laying there, unable to move, and she remembers every excruciating minute of waiting for the ambulances to come and save her because she had thought she actually had a chance at surviving.

she hadn't.

a lamenting sigh escape the blonde's lips as she stepped into the building that morning. she didn't know why she even enrolled in the college. maybe because she didn't think she could cut it as a teacher? she wasn't really cut out for either - the only thing she saw college as good for was finding excellent parties, and that was something she had yet to run into just yet. she wasn't necessarily here to study, or learn something, or become a better version of herself like all of that bullshit college recruiters told you. she was mostly here because she had nowhere else to go.

why did i end up in this place, anyway? she wondered as she flipped through her phone to check the time. i wasn't really on the fast track to heaven in life - so does this mean that heaven doesn't even exist? felicity wasn't sure whether this fact bothered her or relieved her - whatever it was, at least she wasn't burning or something like that.

unfortunately for her, it seemed that the fates were not on her side that day. whilst she was flipping through her phone, she wasn't really paying attention to where she was going and before she could look up, she was running into something, nearly loosing her books in the process.

"oh, gosh, i'm sorry!" she exclaimed, hurrying to gather her things without even looking at the person. "i'm so clumsy!"

[/color][/font] has been completely bored for the past while. She had absolutely nothing to do other than go to her classes. The most recent parties that she had been out to have all been sucky parties so she wasn't at all pleased with that. She didn't even have her close friends here with her and she honestly missed them. But maybe since Damon hasn't arrived here, that meant that taking the bullet for him might've saved him. So in that light, she was happy to be dead. The rest was a complete drag though. So she would just go on day to day with these fake friends and would be buds.

But Sarah was lonely and she kinda hated it. She wasn't exactly popular in life but she had a handful of friends that seemed to be around almost everyday so she honestly did miss them. But she had to keep on going. And that's exactly what she did. How long had she been dead, she had lost track a while ago. All that she knew was that it had been a while. She sighed and continued walking, forcing all those sad and negative thought from her mind. She didn't need them bringing her down at the current moment. At least she had the rest of the day to herself since she was done with her classes and things so that was good.

She stopped for a moment and brushed some strands of hair from her face. That's when she felt someone bump into her from behind. Of course, Sarah wasn't really upset. It was an accident, right? "oh, gosh, i'm sorry! i'm so clumsy!" Her eyes went wide as she turned around to face the one that bumped into her. She burst into a wide smile when she saw who it was. "Fee!" She squealed in delight as she wrapped her arms around her best friend. And Sarah was now in a very pleasant mood.[/style]

[FELICITY CLAIRE ST. JAMES]

it's better to be fake

so much of felicity's life had gone downhill since sarah had died. truthfully, she'd hated life without sarah - who was going to keep her in check? who was going to watch out for sarah, warn her about boys that said they loved her but didn't really mean it? oh, fee hated that she'd become so cynical so young, but she didn't regret that it had kept her out of some sticky situations - and sarah was her very best friend, the kind of friend that you never wanted to see have her heartbroken, and felicity had been intent on keeping her red-headed bestie safe.

that hadn't worked out so well. somewhere along the lines, felicity had missed something; there had been a loop that sarah had slipped through, just in time for felicity to look away, and then she'd been dead. her stomach still clenched at the memory of receiving the phone call explaining that sarah had been killed by gunshot. she'd dropped her phone right onto the floor; she'd curled up on her couch and sobbed into her pillow, and yet even when she called her mother, there had been only a heartless response. "i've raised you better, felicity claire," her mother had said, "now quite that crying of yours and do something good for the world."

in a way, her mother's words had made sense. now that sarah was gone, it was up to felicity to make herself better - there would be no more sarah to watch over her. it seemed, however, that the message didn't quite stick; felicity's life had become even more of a whirl, crashing parties and kissing boys she didn't even care about and getting wasted. it had been the easiest way to cope. she'd told herself that it was easier because now she could make out with whomever she wished and not have to worry about someone stopping her, but the very thought had made her heart ache - because she'd wanted someone to stop her. she'd wanted sarah to stop her.

these thoughts were plaguing her mind when she first heard that voice. felicity thought perhaps she was mishearing things; she was grieving, for losing her life twice, for missing her best friend. but it wasn't true. arms were thrown around her and that gloriously familiar voice was squealing her name, a nickname that only sarah had ever called her - not even own her mother had deigned to give her a nickname as affectionate as fee. but she and sarah had grown up together. the two of them might as well have been sisters.

"s-sarah?" felicity stammered, unsure - but she let out a joyous noise and hugged her friend back tightly, utterly relieved. "oh, it is you!" the blonde cried, laughing and tearing up all at the same time. "i scarcely hoped - but i did, i did hope i would find you here, and here you are!" she pulled back from the hug and sighed pleasantly, taking in the sight of her friend. "it's been too long, i should think! you really gave me a scare - i thought was hallucinating or something. the different stages of grief, and all that. well - well, tell me how you've been! please, i've been dying to see you again."

[/color][/font] couldn't really believe her eyes. Was this really her Fee? The one she was so incredibly close to and could tell her deepest secrets to? Or was she just so bored and lonely that she was beginning to hallucinate seeing her old friend? She wasn't that crazy yet, well, she hoped she wasn't. "s-sarah?" That voice definitely sounded like her Fee and Sarah's heart pounded from excitement and happiness. When Fee hugged back, it was confirmed in Sarah's mind. This was her Fee, the best friend that was pretty much her sister. She hugged Fee tighter and couldn't help but let a tear fall. She was thanking all the powers that she wasn't gonna be alone here anymore. And that was the best thing that Sarah could ever ask for. Now, she just needed Damon around and it would be perfect here, absolutely perfect.

"oh, it is you! i scarcely hoped - but i did, i did hope i would find you here, and here you are!" Sarah chuckled and nodded, her happiness growing by the second as she held her best friend tightly. "I'm so glad that you did find me and that I found you too. God, it's so great to see you again, Fee. I missed you so much." She was so very happy to have her best friend back in her life, she just couldn't believe it in all honesty. She was a little upset that Fee pulled away but her face didn't show it at all. "it's been too long, i should think! you really gave me a scare - i thought was hallucinating or something. the different stages of grief, and all that. well - well, tell me how you've been! please, i've been dying to see you again." Sarah couldn't help but chuckle a bit as she listened to Fee.

"You're telling me. I thought I was hallucinating too. But I'm so glad I'm not. I've honestly been really bored here. The parties I've been to thus far have been a total drag. But I did find a rather cute guy when I went out one night. We aren't together but we are friends so it hasn't been a total loss." She gave her friend a wink before she started to laugh. Sarah had a way of failing for the tough bad guys and Thor definitely had that look to him. "But what about you, how have you been?"
