Take Me Away || Maddisyn & Ada

[maddisssyngregg-deactivated2015]

  Almost like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, Maddy relaxed back down onto Ada’s bed and looked up at the roof above her.  Her bottle of booze tightly gripped in one hand and the other hand resting on her stomach, Maddy let out a soft hum.  She listened to Ada speak, hearing small hints of hatred in her voice.  

"I know this entire town is a hell hole… But why all of a sudden have you turned on it?" she asked taking another swig and leaning back up on her elbows.  "I mean I have never once heard you complain about this place? What changed your mind?" She asked genuinly.  

[ada-pritchett]

Ada laughed at Maddisyn's question. "All of a sudden? Please, Mads. I don't remember a time where I didn't want to leave Portland." She said, throwing Maddy a look before taking about swig of her drink. The inside of her mouth was beginning to tingle slightly, and the alcohol burned slightly as it trickled down Ada's throat. "I always complain about Portland; you must never be around when I do." Ada said with a smirk. 

"It's basically a dead-end. There could be potential, but...I don't see it. The faster I am out of here, the better." She said, downing another mouthful. She suddenly stood, looking over at Maddisyn. "I'm starving; I've got some chips and shit in the kitchen, if you're hungry." She said, strechting her arms up toward the ceiling as she waited for an answer from Maddisyn.

  I’m sure that would’ve made living with them a lot easier.

[Caspian raises one eyebrow then, the amusement on his expression now replaced with curiosity.] You’re from England?

[ada-pritchett]

     [Ada shakes her head] I'm not, but my dad is. I haven't seen any family from there since he left.

Happy Birthday, Miss Valentine || Audrey and Ada

[lastcallforlovers-blog]

  A soft laugh bubbled up in Audrey’s throat and she couldn’t help but smirk mischievously, shrugging slightly. “All I’m saying is the offer’s there should you choose to take it.” But no one ever does. She moved her hands up and under Ada’s shirt, sliding her hands up the other girl’s back as she lifted herself up slightly to resume kissing Ada once more. 

Audrey brought her leg up and hooked it over Ada’s own, her nails dragging along Ada’s spine and side as she kissed her hard, pulling the girl tightly to her. There were far too many layers of clothing between the two for Audrey’s liking, and she tugged upwards on the hem of Ada’s tank top.

[ada-pritchett]

Ada was sick of talking, so as soon as Audrey's lips touched her again, Ada kissed her once again with no less ferocity. Her skin tingled as Audrey's hands found their way under her top, and Ada smirked against Audrey's lips. Ada felt Audrey pull herself closer, and her leg hook around her own. Ada moaned softly as the red-haired girl's nails dragged down her back. 

She felt her tank top being tugged upwards, and Ada didn't waste a second lifting her arms up and helping Audrey with her top. It was a weird sensation, being almost naked in front of someone new for the first time, but Ada tried not to think about it. Ada looked at Audrey for a moment, trailing kisses down her neck, until she got to the top of the dressing gown Audrey was wearing. "I hope you have nothing on underneath that." She moaned softly.

  [Caspian looks ahead with another short laugh, noticing the strips of businesses and little stores coming into view.] He’s not a complete shitty sibling, per se. Our age gap just makes it hard for us to find anything in common. […] He did take me to a couple of R rated movies before I was twelve and gave me my first shot of vodka when I was fifteen— Though, I guess the cool factor of those would depend on your definition of shitty.

[He moves on, turning slightly toward her.] You don’t have any extended family members or anything?

[ada-pritchett]

     [Ada nods, impressed] That sounds like a cool older sibling to me. Being an only child is fucking awesome, but...it'd been nice to have someone who hated my parents as much as I do. 

    [She shakes her head] Not in Portland. Most of my family stayed in England. 

[ada-pritchett]

{ somewhere on the school grounds }

[caspiantrner]

  If all they’ve done is disappoint you, I don’t think they’re worth the trouble, nonetheless deserve it.

Yeah, I have one older brother. [Caspian thinks about him, realizing they haven’t spoken to each other in months now.] He’s a lot older— by twelve years, even. [He laughs a little.] You can imagine just how close we are.

[ada-pritchett]

       [Ada chuckles lightly] Yes, you must be two peas in a pod. Having an older sibling would be alright, if they were cool. But, having a shitty older sibling would suck. 

[phillip-emerson-blog]

  It’s not my business. I just like it when people enjoy things.

Why so cranky, Pritchett?

[ada-pritchett]

      Aw, well aren't you sweet? 

     Hm, well my 'bad mood' increased when you started talking, so... my answer is you. 

[ada-pritchett]

{ somewhere on the school grounds }

[caspiantrner]

  Ha. [Caspian chuckles, relieved that she hadn’t expected him to comfort her or anything of the sort.] I like the way you think— Caring always costs too much effort.

[But as he continues walking, Caspian wonders what it’s like to have a parent who doesn’t act like one.] Do you have any siblings?

[ada-pritchett]

    [She sighs loudly]  It really does. I'd rather spend my life reveling in contempt for my parents then actually caring. That's probably a really shitty thing to think about the people who created you, but...fuck it. 

    [Ada lets out one, sharp laugh, before shaking her head] One little fucker was enough for my folks, I think. [She raises her eyebrow slightly, as she begins to take more of an interest in Caspian] What about you? 

[ada-pritchett]

{ somewhere on the school grounds }

[caspiantrner]

  [Caspian hadn’t expected anything this personal, so he takes a moment to let the information sit, his smile slowly dropping.]

Well, that definitely matches the ‘bad news’ criteria, though not so much on the ‘weird but cool’ part. [He pauses, wondering if he should be upset for her.] You don’t seem too bothered.

[ada-pritchett]

        I think it's weird but cool. I mean, it's weird how they had such an amazing daughter, and cool that I am actually pretty fucking amazing. So... ha-ha to you. [Ada looks at him for a moment, a soft smile tugging at the corners of her lips] It used to, but why should I care? They don't, so... 

[phillip-emerson-blog]

  Well, I’m just saying, you never seem to enjoy these things.

[ada-pritchett]

     And why do you care if I enjoy things or not? I didn't think that was any of your goddamned business, Emerson. 

[faithfully-persia-blog]

  [A mere wisp of a chuckle escape her lips] I won’t deny it, I’m sure that will be crossing my mind now the next time I speak with him, but I guess we’ll simply have to see for ourselves if it truly is only an act he is carrying, or not. 

[ada-pritchett]

      [Ada nods curtly] It's probably not true, but my fingers will be crossed. 

[paxtonofschool-deactivated20141]

  [Paxton didn’t move when she brought her lips to his again. Instead, he returned the kiss with more ease as he relaxed, wrapping his arms hesitantly around her waist. He smiled to himself as he dipped his head away from hers. He lingered while his eyes were still closed and he opened them, looking at her with a smirk on his own lips.] Weirdly good at this? I don’t think that’s exactly what you say to someone. [He chuckled and stole another kiss before he took a step away from her.] I can’t say I didn’t like that, though.

[ada-pritchett]

     [She grinned wildly, shaking her head] Really? You're judging me? [She smiled against his lips as he gave her one last kiss, and she smirked, crossing her arms] Good. Otherwise, my reputation would be on the line. 

[paxtonofschool-deactivated20141]

  Right… [He cleared his throat and took a glance back at the bar behind him, contemplating whether or not to grab more water or to just stay put. He felt like he needed to distract himself, but he couldn’t bring his fee to love to where his brain told him to go. Instead, he looked back to her and chuckled nervously.] I mean… You’re not that mean, I guess. I’m just… surprised, is all. [He shrugged, rubbing at the back of his neck.]

Eighteenth birthday and I hadn’t expected to be kissed at all. That kind of thing… it just doesn’t happen to me, y’know? Don’t get me wrong! I’m not saying I didn’t like, but I just didn’t… expect it. Not from you… not from anybody. I mean it was good and all but I just — [He realized he was rambling and frowned before he closed his eyes. Better now than never, he thought and pulled Ada towards him, his lips meeting hers once again. After he realized what he had done, he pulled back slowly and felt the blush already on his cheeks grow.] I— I’m sorry…

[ada-pritchett]

         [Ada scoffs, the feeling of Paxton's lips on her still playing on her mind] You still don't know me very well then, do you? [She watched him curiously as he spoke, frowning slightly as he did. But, her frown disappeared as Paxton pulled her closer and pressed his lips on hers. She closed her eyes until he pulled away. She tilted her head and smirked] Why are you apologizing? You're...weirdly good at this. [She pressed her lips on his again, this time, she wrapped her arms around his neck]

[paxtonofschool-deactivated20141]

  [Paxton widened his eyes when he was pulled to Ada, the feeling of her lips to his so foreign to him. When she pulled away, he blinked away his confusion and took a step back.] You’re drunk. [The assumption was far from what he meant, but it was the only explanation he had for what just happened. He looked around them and then back at her with furrowed brows, trying to hide the blush that rose to his cheeks.] And I’m not being a little bitch.

[ada-pritchett]

      [Ada laughed, and let go of Paxton's shirt] I'm not drunk, yet. If I was drunk, you'd certainly know about it. [Ada pouts playfully, before rolling her eyes] Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so mean to you on your birthday. 

[paxtonofschool-deactivated20141]

  Oh? You had a marathon and didn’t even invite me over? [He rolled his eyes playfully and smirked.] Some friend you are, Ada.

[ada-pritchett]

     [Ada rolled her eyes, grabbed Paxton by the shirt, and pressed her lips on his. After a short moment, she pulled away, giving him a smirk of her own] Quit being a little bitch. 

[paxtonofschool-deactivated20141]

  [Paxton covered his mouth as he nearly choked on his drink, laughing while it was in his mouth. He swallowed it and laughed with his hand on his chest.] Landlubbers? Did you research pirate take before you came or something?

[ada-pritchett]

    If by research you mean having a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon, then yes. I am not ashamed. Not one bit. 

[faithfully-persia-blog]

  [Persia hadn’t thought of it in that manner, about Paxton, but then again, she was never one to judge a person ahead of time unless she got to really know them] You think so? I never got that vibe off of him… but then again, I don’t know him that well either.

[ada-pritchett]

      [Ada shrugs, the ghost of a smirk on her lips] Neither do I, but it's really fucking obvious. And now that I've told you, all you're gonna be thinking is 'Was Ada right? Is this all an act? So... have fun with that. 

[faithfully-persia-blog]

  I’m not even sure if this many people dress up for Halloween. [she laughs] I can’t really picture Paxton drinking in an excessive amount of rum.

[ada-pritchett]

     [Ada scoffs] I can see through that awkward, cute boy, thing in a second. He knows what he's doing, and in my opinion, he's doing it well.
