Love on a Post-it

On a hot, humid day Sookie has all the windows open throughout Gran's house. Finally, a day to try and clean up the mess that Maryann left behind. The rustling sounds and delicate scent of  nearby honeysuckle vines fill the house as they dance in the occasional breeze. On her knees, Sookie is scrubbing the floor with a soapy sponge, her relaxed and rhythmic motion in tandem with the swaying of the large tree in the front yard. Deliberate and methodical it appears as if she's coaxing the dirt, along with Maryann's spirit, out of the hundred-year-old wood foundation of the home. If only burning sage could get rid of the blood, the dirt and the memories of what happened here. As Sookie reaches for another bottle of cleaner, she notices a small yellow doll made out of paper. Oh no. Not another one of Maryann's devil dolls. How did she miss it? Sookie picks it up and studies the figure. The doll is actually made out of post-it notes, all have been written upon and some are in Tara's handwriting. Sookie peels each post-it note off and reads it before sticking them on the warn kitchen table. Tara, we left some breakfast for you in the dining room. I'm making a run with Maryann. See you when I get back. –Eggs Eggs, thanks for the breakfast! Come down to Merlotte's tonight and I'll buy you dinner! See ya there! -Tara Tara, what the hell happened last night?! My body is killing me! We need to talk when you wake up. –Eggs Eggs, Maryann is so crazy! Last night was fun. Where did you guys go? -Tara Tara, sorry didn't get to see you yesterday. Been thinking about you.  How about breakfast? See you there. –Eggs Eggs, I'm not so sure about Maryann. What do you know about her? Tell me at lunch okay? –Tara Tara, I'm glad you have been with us these few weeks. I feel like our family is growing. –Eggs Eggs, I'm not so sure about us living in Sookie's house. It doesn't feel right. And why is my bra hanging from the roof?? Please get it down! –Tara Tara, I really feel like we're a family now. We look out for each other. Don't worry me and M. will always have your back. -Eggs Eggs, I woke up with the scent of you all over me, but I don't remember being with you. What's going on? -Tara Tara, Sorry I missed you again. Let's not smoke anything tonight, I feel like I got holes in my head too! -Eggs Eggs, I cleaned up as much as I could before I went to work. Sookie would kick us all out if she saw this place. -Tara Tara, my jaw is KILLING me and my body aches. What the f@%k happened last night? Can't wait to see you. –Eggs Eggs, some crazy shit is going down around here and I DON'T like it AT ALL. I'm going to talk to Maryann. BTW, Sookie's gonna kill me when she sees her house! –Tara Tara, let's chill for a second and figure out what happened before we talk to M. You both are all I got and I don't want to lose either of you. Promise me, Tara. Please. –Love Eggs Eggs, Slept at LaLa's last night. Had to take Jane Bodhouse home. She was so drunk she barfed all over the place! NAST! -Love, Tara Tara, Hope you can get outa' work early tonight! Maryann says she's making us a home cooked meal. -Love, Eggs Eggs, Sometimes I'm so confused. It's like my nightmares are coming to life. But everything's okay when I'm with you. –Love Tara. Tara, It's all good. Maryann is sending me to pick up 300 lbs. of meat. Should be a great B.B.Q. tonight! We'll sort it all out afterwards! -Love Eggs Sookie reads the last post-it and puts it on top of the others. The doll is completely disassembled now and Sookie's hands are empty. She realizes that Tara's relationship with Eggs has evaporated just like the post-it doll. For the first time Sookie truly realizes what her best friend has lost. She finally lets the tears fall as she clasps her hands to her chest and gives into her mourning, not only for Eggs, but for the future that he and Tara will never share.
