Jason stopped at the request surprised to see her, “ Oh sure of course.” He smiled, flashing his usual grin. “What is it? Something new you made, or just something new you’ve heard?” He ask curiously taking the earbud. He’d listen regardless because he liked her taste in music.

aaliyah smiled back at jason. she had always appreciated the energy that he exuded, especially because being such a happy go lucky person wasn’t in her nature. “it’s this song i’ve been working on called dentist,” she explained, with a nod. “it should have been out much longer but you know me, the queen of procrastination and doubting herself.”

“yo, do you mind listening to this?” aaliyah was basically asking anyone who walked by her and offering them her earbuds. most people so far had politely ( or some impolitely ) told her that they just weren’t interested. she was hoping this case was different. she had been working on this song for MONTHS and it was hopefully going to be her next single, so it had to be PERFECT.

           teeth tugged && worried supple lips as she stared at her phone.          it’s days like this when she realised that she was in a tough industry,        fresh out of drama school,         a waitress uniform adorned her tiny frame,     splattered with remnants of her past day.          the missed call.            but soon that worried lower lip was released && a smile so bright adorned her features.         SHE’D GOTTEN THE PART.

aaliyah looked around the room, thinking that maybe the redhead had seen something that made her smile so bright. “is there a reason you’re smiling? or are you just one of those cheery people who smiles for no reason?”

aspen felt light on her feet twirling & humming to herself. she had been working ALL day in the studio the night before and was ready for the next couple of hours off. she had dark sunglasses decorating the bridge of her nose & a baseball cap with the yorker’s symbol. her little handbook f e l l from her grasp without the blonde noticing. as she was about to enter the coffee shop, she noticed that she wasn’t holding it anymore. aspen looked around trying to find it.

it was a late night for aaliyah, she was usually the type who liked to be in her room by ten. but she had so many things to do in order to promote her new single, dentist, that she was going to be in her bedroom around midnight. she decided she needed a little pickmeup in order to keep her awake and sane for the next few hours. before she entered the coffee shop, aaliyah found a little book, and she initially assumed she had dropped her moleskine. but after tapping the back pocket of her jeans, she realized she already had it. she flipped it open to see if it had a name on the inside, but it unfortunately didn’t. she was, however, in luck when she found someone who looked like they had lost something. she approached them and asked, “sorry, but is this yours?” showing the little book in her hand. “i found it on the street, outside of this coffee shop.”

“i’m just having trouble writing it now,” the boy clarified. “i mean, things are going pretty good for me. i mean, they won’t be in 12 hours if i don’t turn this song in, but right now things are peachy.” he grinned. “you are a talent on this earth. i’m serious - i need your help.”

“your local resident sad girl, here to help you out,” aaliyah joked, raising her hand. “what kind of sad song we talking, friend? sad about a girl? sad about a boy? sad about life? sad about death?” aaliyah took out the moleskine she always kept in her back pocket and said, “let’s brainstorm.”

jackie playfully rolls her eyes and then flashes a humorous grin. “tetrahedrons. at the very least, we’re all just different shapes and sizes of star tetrahedrons floating around in space, trying to connect to one another and complete our purpose.”

aaliyah let out a laugh and said, “bro, that’s deep. you should write a song about it. it’d be dope.”

“Skateboarding it is!” She grinned. She loved that she actually had things in common with her, and that she wasn’t totally alone here in LA. She loved her cousin like the big sister she never had. “I’ve got some spare boards in my closest!” She chimed.

“Nice, I can’t wait. Hopefully I don’t fall on my ass,” she joked. Aaliyah had always enjoyed spending time with Nala and came to view her as more of a sister than a cousin. “Do you know any good parks or are we just skating the streets of LA?”

“They easily can, instead they choose to be shitty about it. So annoying, not to mention it looks dumb as hell. The appropriation stuff isn’t even high fashion, it’s just stealing. Diluting.” Amelia agreed- though she wasn’t the most knowledgeable on the subject, she did her best to understand it and not sound like a total dumb ass talking about it. “Totally.”

“Like it’s so ridiculous though. I get that they get inspiration from different cultures, but there’s a way to do it without being a total dick about it. If I go to a job interview with dreadlocks, my hair is distracting, but if a white girl does it, she’s edgy? Like what kind of upside down bullshit world are we living in?”

“well, how old are you?” elodie asked with a small tilt of her head. “i do have an assistant and she typically types out my replies and sends them but i like to do the reading myself and tell her what to say.” the blonde gave a shrug alongside a loud sigh. “i don’t know.”

“twenty-eight although some people say i have an old soul,” she replied. “that’s nice that you read them though. i swear i sent like...a million letters to some of my favorite artists as a kid and i don’t think they personally read a single of them.”

“D’you ever read something about yourself that’s so untrue you wonder how they managed to come up with that shit- but at the same time, you kinda wish it were true? Like, my friend just sent me a link to this half-assed article that said I’m ‘trying to hook up’ with Cardi B, when all I did was say that I bump Bodak Yellow when I’m driving during an interview last week, which I mean, who doesn’t?”

[aaliyahisms-blog]

“Don’t really think I’m at the point where tabloids are posting such weird things about me,” Aaliyah admitted with a laugh. “Although, yeah, I bump to Bodak Yellow too. Cardi B is great.”

moments from having a panic attack, jackie grins and nods, more so to herself than anyone else. “just gotta remind myself this is all temporary and that we’re all just clusters of tetrahedrons floating around and minding our own business.”

[aaliyahisms-blog]

“we’re all just a cluster of tetrawhats?” aaliyah was completely lost, having no idea what the other was talking about. “you gotta dumb that down for me.”

wtfamelia:

“No shit, that bothers me so much. Like I’ve been in New York the last week, don’t get me wrong, but that icks me out.” Amelia agreed, “On top of it being offensive it’s just lazy, you know? It’s lazy on the part of the designers, shows a lack of creativity on their part.”

“For real, I mean I see these white girls in dreadlocks and it’s like, why couldn’t you just hire a black model for this?” Aaliyah let out a scoff. “I once legit just walked out because it was so blatant and disrespectful.”

nalaxtomboy:

“What do you think of roller skating? Or skateboarding, doesn’t matter to me.” She chimed. She liked to be active…well most of the time. She was either antsy and needing to do something or a lazy couch potato playing Overwatch or Destiny for hours. There was sadly no in-between. 

“Skateboarding could be cool, haven’t done that in a while,” she reasoned. Aaliyah used to skate a lot more when she was in high school, going through her ‘rebel phase’ as her father called it, but she hadn’t done it much since.

[nalaxtomboy-blog]

“Come on have a little fun with me! I’m taking a break and I think you should too.” She grinned at the person beside her. She’d been working non-stop and knew she needed to just let loose and do something or else she’d go crazy. Plus doing things with others always makes it more fun. With her career finally feeling like it was takng off, she was grateful, but she needed time to just be herself.

[aaliyahisms-blog]

“I guess I could take a break,” Aaliyah said, closing the music program on her computer. If she was being honest with herself, she really didn’t need to take a break - she was the world’s biggest procrastinator. But Nala’s offer seemed too good to pass up. “What are we doing?”

“My twenty second birthday was four days ago and I’m still in birthday wishes in the form of letters sent in from fans.” A small and subtle eye roll could be seen from the girl’s eyes. “It’s not that I mind. I love hearing from them and reading all the sweet things they say…” she trailed off as she let out a breath in the form of a huff. “We are in the crucial parts of filming this movie and I really don’t have time to look at all of those and do my absolute best while looking like this.” She pursed her perfectly tinted red lips for a moment before sighing. “I only don’t want them to be upset but I have to do my work before anything.”

“your twenty second birthday? gosh, i feel like an old fart or something,” the singer said, with her eyes widening as she realizes it’s been over half a decade since she turned that age. “don’t you have an assistant or something that can read them for you? isn’t that what most celebrities do now?”

romeo sits, chewing on his lip, guitar tucked under his arm. “tell me,” he sighs, looking up at the other. “how are you supposed to write a sad song if you’re not sad?” the boy runs a hand through his hair, frustrated. “i’ve been trying for hours, but… nothing.” he frowns, gesturing to the blank sheet music in front of him. “help a guy out - i have to turn something in by midnight.”

[aaliyahisms-blog]

“you’re having trouble writing a sad song?” aaliyah raised her eyebrow. “i can help you, writing sad stuff is kinda my thing.” she let out a chuckle and added, “not to brag or anything, but my songs have made lots of people cry, apparently.”

[wtfamelia]

“I’m so jealous of anyone whose schedule allowed them to do London Fashion Week this year. I got invited to walk in three different shows and had to turn them down because I have shit booked in LA this coming week- which is cool and all but like, I love London. And the weather is just getting all cute and autumn-y there.”

[aaliyahisms-blog]

“I’ve only ever been to New York Fashion Week and I didn’t really like it,” Aaliyah replied to the other girl with a shrug. “There was so much cultural appropriation, it was kind of disgusting.”
