hello hello guess who’s back from the dead bitches (   aka:  trying to recover from a really stressful moment of life   )

[aengelicsoul]

& sam.

i don’t get it . you seem worthy of getting to know better. 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 , 𝐬𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐱 . he hadn’t been told that before , so it surprised him when she did or that she even thought it . he let a small huff escape his lips and his gaze dropped to the ground . “ that’s sweet of you to say , ” he said and moved a hand to rub against the back of his neck . “ not everyone thinks so , though , ” he said , talking about his dad who hadn’t really bothered to get to know him . mmh . you said you like rock , right ? you know muse ? any song would work . “ muse ? ” he said and chuckled softly . “ i know them , ” he said and thought about it for a second .  “ okay , so…  wait , i have an angelic face ? that’s definitely a first . i don’t think i’ve ever been told i have an angelic face before .” laughing , he looked at her and cleared his throat a little bit before he started to sing the song that had come to his head first . “ i , i can’t get these memories out of my mind . and some kind of madness has started to evolve . i , i tried so hard to let you go but some kind of madness is swallowing me whole … ” then he started to laugh and shake his head . “ that’s it . that’s what you get . you’re just gonna have to come tonight if you wanna hear more . ” was he flirting with the girl who he had found in his dad’s kitchen ? 

alyx is not a sweet girl  —  or, to be more specific, she is not perceived as one. during her lifetime, twenty-two long years, she has been called many different ways, never sweet ; she’s blunt, inopportune, straight-forward and a big flirt, everything she says turns out to be the wrong thing at the wrong time. clearly, this is not how sam sees her, though  —  not yet. she figures how, when she reflects on this, that he could be her chance to be different  —  and not just for a night, like it happens with her clients. no, no, what the hell am i thinking ; she can’t be seriously considering to befriend him, to have him in her life for hopefully a long time, right? she just shakes her head, both to his statement  (  how can people think otherwise?  ) and to her own thoughts. “ and nobody has ever said i was sweet. we’re even! ” she smiles, for what feels like the hundredth time. she’s glowing  —  not thanks to sam’s father terrific shower ; it’s all sam. when he starts singing, she opens up her mouth, without saying anything  —  she would, but she doesn’t know how. he’s good, so good the song seems made for him  (  and it’s not an easy one, not everyone could pull it off  ). “ wow. ” she doesn’t mind sounding corny, it’s her first reaction. “ i’m impressed! again! you keep... doing that. you keep surprising me. ” oh yes, she’s definitely flirting with him now. maybe she has been doing that from the beginning, without being aware. “ and that’s a really good one too. solid choice! how could i miss tonight’s show after this? ” she chuckles. she has to go, it’s clear now  —  she wants to, and alyx always gets what she wants. “ i guess it means... i should give you my number. so, you know, you can send me the address. ” and hopefully text me, anytime.

[aengelicsoul]

& nikita.

nikita’s skin begins to itch, her breath caught up in her chest as she listens to her best friend, her rock and the one person who has been there for her since she struck out on her own when she was eighteen. alyx is interested, but what if she is right? alyx has serious commitment issues, ones they are both extremely well aware of. and nikita has commitment issues of her own, she is attachment barbie and they both know it. she would scare alyx off in no time at all. nikita bites her lip, her chest tightening as she can feel an anxiety attack washing over her, slowly at first, but then all at once in a wave so tall she is worried she might collapse and drown beneath it. “can we go outside, get some air and maybe some privacy?” she asks, her voice low and shaky. 

“ yeah, sure. ” she immediately replies, but it takes alyx a moment to actually make a move  —  the wall behind her so comforting she’s not sure she’ll be able to stand without it. “ it would be too crazy. right? ” she asks once they’re alone, in a corner of the garden, behind the house. some fairy lights are hanging above them, making the setting way too romantic  —  considering how confused they’re feeling at the moment, how everything has changed in just a few minutes. “ we would be a terrible match. ” it doesn’t sound like a statement, at all, alyx is almost seeking for a confirmation  —  for niki’s opinion.

[aengelicsoul]

& leo.

olivia has to laugh because of his question and it’s fucked up, she’s well aware of that. sometimes she just can’t help herself and the fact that she’s clearly under the influence of alcohol and drugs isn’t helping either. “do i ever want to hurt people? fuck, who do you think i am, leo?” but the truth was that she’s never thought about physically hurting people. causing emotional damage to others? she’s guilty of that. “sometimes i do.” the smile faded, lips forming a thin line as she stared into the darkness. “sometimes i want people to feel pain because i’ve been through so much shit and it’s only fair that others feel it too, right?” she grimaces at her own words, shrugging her shoulders. “but at the same time i don’t want anyone to go through what i had to endure. it’s so fucked up.” she’s yet again being her paradoxical self, making her exhale through her nostrils deeply. “i feel lonely too.” she admitted without ridiculing him for once, nibbling onto her bottom lip. “but being lonely is better than letting someone in only to watch them leave again.” and that’s exactly why she’s being so cynical yet honest during this conversation. she wants to let leo on, she really does, but how can he ever guarantee her that he’s not like the others? 

he has never thought about olivia as anything before. to leo, she was just a hot girl, fun to hang out with at parties, he wouldn’t stop to think about her  —  her backstory, personality, the reasons behind her coldness and bitterness. now, that they’re having the first conversation involving actual topics, he sees her with different eyes  —  curious ones ; he’s suddenly intrigued, eager to know everything she’s willing to tell him. “ i think we all do. or maybe, the real good people, are the few who don’t. ” who hasn’t fantasized about punching the guy who made fun of them so hard he would finally stop? or get some type of revenge on the girl who broke their heart? for leo, it’s hard to believe people as spiteless as that exist. “ i get that. ” not a single day goes by without leo thinking about hurting his father. he wouldn’t wish what he went through on anyone, not even on his worst enemy. “ my dad, i... sometimes i wish he was dead. that he died, years ago, instead of just leaving me and mom. ” that’s the most fucked up recurring thought of leo. he swallows, only partly ashamed of his confession. “ that’s why i always leave first. or give them a reason to do it. so that i'm... in control, i guess. ” he doesn’t know that, by saying this, he’s only confirming olivia he’s like everyone else  —  except, maybe, it could be different with her. you can never know until you try something, until you love someone.

[aengelicsoul]

& kalani.

kalani trusted people way too much, always saw the good in them no matter what the situation was, which was why she ignored all the red flags her friends tried to remind her of about leo. the two had spend enough time with one another to the point where she let him in and let him know about all her family problems, how she came from a broken home and he did truly help her though it. but to find out that it was all fake made her sick to her stomach. the guard she let down for him instantly coming back up. “don’t call me that,” her voice was soft, her voice rasped from her scream moments ago. “what do you mean it’s not like that? it is exactly like that. i really thought that we had something really good going on here, but our entire relationship was fake.” her eyes began to water as she glances away from his face. “you should of thought about that before you decided to play me.” 

leo usually goes for people whose hearts are used to getting broken or to break others ; he dates girls, and sometimes boys, with bad reputations, so that, when they break-up, it’s not a big deal. nobody feels guilty, it’s how it always is. when leo cheats, or lies, or betrays, he feels awful for a minute  —  then he does it all again after two. this time... everything is different. kalani is different. “ ani... ” he can’t help himself, that’s how he always calls her. the fact that nobody else calls her that makes leo think ‘ that’s my girl. my ani ’. nicknames are special, especially for leo, he doesn’t use them with everyone. “ we do have something! ” he yells out, feeling a surprising amount of her rage by her thinking that it’s all been a lie. yes, he lied to her, at first, but then kalani became the realest thing in his life. “ i didn’t play you. everything i said, i did... who i was with you. it’s real. i just... i was obsessed by idea of her and i thought i could win her back, pretending to love you. i didn’t expect not to pretend, not once. ” his tone more calm, controlled  —  leo doesn’t want to be rough with kalani, not with her. “ please... what can i do? ”

@aengelicsoul​ based off of [x] ! 

kalani knew that it was too good to be true, why would someone like him go for a girl like her. she chosen to ignore her gut feeling and throughout their so called relationship she had convinced herself that it was real. her friends mentioned to her that leo wasn’t exactly a great person, yet she didn’t listen.  the thing about kalani was that she was fair too innocent and naive to realize that she was getting played, so when she found out the truth, that big heart of hers completely shattered. “i was just a toy to you this entire time, wasn’t i?” kalani scoffs, trying her hardest not to cry in front of him. she couldn’t be reflected as a weak individual, that wasn’t who she was. “were you ever going to tell me that you were using me or were you just going to dump me out of nowhere when your ex comes begging on their knees for you?” 

[aengelicsoul]

leo keeps making all the wrong choices. he has good intentions, he really does, but he is uncapable of turning those into reality  —  all he does, every single time, is disappoint and hurt the people he loves. with kalani, though, it’s different. real feelings weren’t supposed to be involved, with her  —  he only needed a distraction, someone to keep him warm at night who would make his ex girlfriend madly jealous at the same time. when they met, he immediately realized she would be perfect for that ; she’s sweet, loving, trusting and innocent  —  everything leo’s lovers are usually not. not being his type at all, he was confident he would be okay, untouched, if she found out the truth, but now... now she knows and he feels absolutely horrible. “ ani... please. ” her words hurt like hell, and she’s simply stating facts ; leo is currently being hit by the realization of how much he fucked up. “ it’s not like that— it’s... i needed someone and i found you. and yes, you made her crazy jealous, but i’m not back with her. ” these are not all lies, the ex called leo and he didn’t answer, just a few days ago  —  maybe already conscious she wasn’t worth leaving kalani. “ i thought i needed her to be okay for so long... i was wrong. you make me feel great, ani. i don’t want to lose you. ”

#me when i look at other rpers talented writing skills and their well developed, thought out muses:

[aengelicsoul]

& olivia.

“good.” she repeated, “what does that word even mean nowadays?” she hadn’t expected to reflect on life when she first arrived at the party, but sitting here with leo on the steps to the garden was the most fun she’s had all night. far away from all the dense and dull partygoers. “you’re a good person if you’re kind to other people. if you call your parents regularly. if you smile to strangers on your walk back home from the subway.” olivia is just rambling at this point, no idea where she was going with this. “i think you’re good if your intentions are, and i’m pretty sure you don’t actually want to hurt people on purpose, right?” hopeful eyes looked back into his, nibbling onto her bottom lip as she shook her head. “never. it’s better that way.” she’s tried to convince herself of that, but she’s not quite sure. olivia has been feeling really lonely lately, but she doubted that the void could be filled with the presence of someone else.

he doesn’t know if she is seeking for an actual answer, it’s likely she meant it as a rhetoric question, but leo can’t help it  —  considering the way he’s feeling right now, he starts obsessing over olivia’s words immediately. all he discovers, looking for some logic in his beliefs, is that he has no idea what ‘ good ’ means. “ fuck if i know. ” are you good if you always do what people expect you to, if you work hard, are kind and always hold back? that’s probably how half of this planet’s population sees it, he assumes  —  and it’s almost exactly what she says a second later. she lists similar things, comfirming to leo the most common point of view. one she clearly doesn’t share. “ no... i don’t. i don’t think so. ” leo’s problem is that, when he starts liking someone, he lets this new relationship consume him. he thrives right into things, he doesn’t know how to slow down most of the times  —  but, when the most serious point is reached, he freaks out. he’s aware his own choices lead him to this kind of moments, but he’s not brave enough to stick to them  —  and he screws up whatever is good, every time, then blaming it on his daddy issues. “ you? do you ever want to hurt people? ” not a question he would ask in another moment  —  once again. “ but don’t you ever feel lonely? i do, all the time. ” and he’s never alone, people to fill his time and mind are easily found — for leo.

[aengelicsoul]

lucien’s morning couldn’t be more ordinary, he’s working on some rich men’s precious car  —  or, to be more precise, he’s working under it ; laying down on the creeper, tools in hand. he’s aspecting his boss so, when he hears steps coming from the front of the oficina, he’s not surprised  —  he keeps doing his thing, waiting for the man to reach him. instead, a girl shows up  —  lucien can see her heels, short and comfortable, definetely not five inches, if he tilts his head backwards. when the mysterious girl says hello to him, he finally slips out of the dark  ;  a beautiful, small, blonde is standing behind him. “ oh hello there. ” he’s immediately interested, way before realizing who she is. he swiftly gets up, turning to face her. “ you. hi. ” his smile grows bigger when he recognizes her. “ the boss’ daughter. long time no see. ” he’s still holding a wrench in his right hand, that is stained with oil just like most of the fabric he’s wearing. “ how have you been, princess? ” he has only met a few times, and never recently, but the nickname came to lucien’s mind the first time he saw her. she looks like one, gentle and elegant ; and, most importantly, she is, in a way, a king’s daughter  —  it’s fitting.    /    @hcpefell​.

“ hey , it’s 𝑜𝓀𝒶𝓎 . honestly , and … i like that you ask questions . i’m not – i’m not used to it , ” he said and shrugged , before pressing his lips into a thin-lipped smile . good . chuckling softly , the young male let his gaze drop to his feet and he shrugged , when he noticed her dropping the cup onto the smooth surface . i mean , i’ll be there . i can’t wait to hear you sing ! oh wait … i have an idea . “ an idea , huh ? ”he said and looked at her with a grin that grew , while his tongue swiped quickly across his lips as she left her spot at the end of the counter , before she reached to where he was standing . clearing his throat a little softly , he realized just how little clothes she actually had on . why don’t you give me a little sneak peek of tonight’s performance ? pleaaase . “ a 𝓈𝓃𝑒𝒶𝓀 𝓅𝑒𝑒𝓀 ? ” he answered and laughed while thinking about it for a good minute or so , “ okay , sure . what do you want to hear ? ”

alyx is always the one asking questions, never the one answering  —  it’s not that today is different, because everything he wants to know she can’t tell ; it’s how it’s always been, alyx avoiding getting too personal. “ i don’t get it. you seem worthy of getting to know better. ” and she can tell when someone is interesting, right away  —  she never knows how, she’s not that good at reading people, she’s just conscious that something is different. and something is different about sam  —  in a good way, she hopes ; the last thing she needs in her life is another bad influence  (  she is her own  ). his positive reply to her proposition makes her come back to planet earth, letting go of any thoughts about this boy who’s still a stranger  —  and who should’ve never entered alyx’s life. “ mmh. you said you like rock, right? you know muse? any song would work. you just have this little angelic face, it would be cool to hear you sing their lyrics. interesting. ”

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐚’𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 a little to the side as she kept her eyes locked with nelson’s . keeping her gaze on nelson the whole time , nora felt her heart skip a couple of beats every time nelson spoke and every time he looked at her . want to go shopping together ? oh , wait – is prom like weddings ? should i only see you in the dress on prom nigh or ? nora giggled softly and shook her head . “ no , it’s 𝓃𝑜𝓉 like weddings at all . i would love to go shopping with you . i – i think we should definitely go and find something . that way we can look the best , ” she replied and smirked as she got up from her seat and walked over to sit down next to nelson . as she sat down , she reached out and grabbed his hand ; squeezing it softly , “ i’m really happy you asked me . i’m gonna do everything i can to make the night as perfect as humanly possible , because you deserve it . ”

nelson lets out a sigh of relief, when nora reassures him they can go shopping together, that it’s not a problem, because he has no idea how to dress for a dance. where should he buy the suit? how much should he spend? he doesn’t know this sort of stuff, it’s the first time in eighteen years he has to worry about something like this  —  he’s incredibly glad he has nora by his side to help him ; asking his mother would be too awkward. “ oh, good. ” now that the hard part of this lunch is behind him, he can start enjoying his food again. he takes a bite of his burger, as nora surprises him once again. she wants to make sure the night goes perfectly? that’s supposed to be nelson’s job  —  but he loves this about her, that she doesn’t care about conventionality. he swallows and smiles, slightly embarassed. “ oh, nor... it’s you. you deserve it. without you, these last four years would have been a living hell. ” they clearly think of each other the same way, so nelson puts his pride aside for a moment. “ but thank you. what about... we call this our night? ” his smile grows bigger, confident the choice of words is perfect  (  for once  ). “ we both deserve this. and it will be perfect... for both of us. ”
