[alison-haynes]

Jae didn’t instantly recognize the blonde, but when she finally did, it made all of the sense in the world why the man with her was looking so concerned. Not that he had anything to worry about, because while she liked the other’s music, she wasn’t some crazed mega fan that was attempting to stalk her. Still, she understood the need to be cautious, being well-known herself. Granted, she wasn’t so famous she needed a body guard, yet, but being an author was different than being a singer, as she was starting to learn from experience. She’d only just released her first song a little over a week ago and it was already blowing up. “Oh, I’m good. I’m great. I swear I’m not hiding here because this is your car… I was kind of attempting to dodge someone and jumped behind the car that was closest to where I was standing at the time,” she explained, as she stood. She would understand if she wasn’t believed, but, well, it was the truth regardless. 

Alison often did things that were against what her body guard or management would want. But, at the end of the day she was more than a singer. She was a person, with human emotions and connections and enjoyed that connection with other people. Alison knew they were looking out for her, trying to protect her. But, she sometimes just needed to be just like any other normal person, if that meant ducking behind her car, having a chat with someone, then so be it. “Attempting to dodge someone?” The blonde asked, “Do you feel as though you are in danger?”

“I was thinking of maybe pairing it with a floral or plaid skirt? I don’t know, I’m just really into mixing patterns,” she admitted as she eyed the sweater once more. Wearing sweaters and little mini skirts were some of her favorite combinations ever. Even though she got cold easily, it was worth wearing something she felt good in. Her closet was filled with some, odd things, but it made her happy. 

“I think it would pair real well with a floral skirt. Plaid might be a little too much with this pattern.” She said. Alison wasn’t a huge person that was into mixing patterns though, so maybe she was completely wrong. But, she also didn’t know this other girl all too well, so maybe she was one to pull off those eccentric outfits.

Alison was so sweet, and Ro really did appreciate her. She cared about others more than she seemed to care about herself, which was a lot more than he’d noticed about certain people in this town. “Eh, I’m just a protective asshole.” He admitted before straightening himself out, and crossing one leg over the other. “I’ve always been able to bite my tongue when it comes to anyone other than my sister, and I have no idea how to turn that off.” 

Alison always wanted to make sure people around her were feeling good about themselves and their choices. She was still getting to know Roman, which sometimes made it hard to read him or how to help him make feel better. But, Alison knew that she could talk to someone to try and help them feel better. “Hey, there isn’t anything wrong with being a protective asshole.” She could call Aaron the same thing. “If someone is worth protecting, you shouldn’t want to turn it off.”

Kami looked at the blonde with shock when she challenged the evidence, like she might as well have slapped him across the face, that’s how he felt about it. Why was he so passionate about aliens, you ask? I have no idea, but this man really did put a lot of time into something that didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. “Alison. You’re giving the government more credit than they deserve. They’re not good at hiding everything. They’ve let so much shit slip in our lifetime and beyond, they can’t always hide everything.”

There was no doubt in Alison’s mind that there was other human like species out there in the galaxy. But, if the government knew about it, she was sure they would do anything and everything to hide it from the general public. It wouldn’t be as easy to discover as Kami made it seem. “Oh, Kami, I agree that they aren’t great at hiding much. But, they aren’t going ot make it this easy to discover them. Let me ask you this, do you think there are aliens living among us?”

[krismusings]

“I’m sorry.” Roman muttered when he realized he must’ve been zoning out, lost in his own thoughts, and not at all present in the current conversation. He couldn’t stop thinking about the night of the Valentine’s party, and how much he always managed to make a mess out of any group event. “I don’t mean to be so distracted, I swear it’s not anythin’ you’re doing, I’m just a bloody mess lately.”

[alison-haynes]

So Alison didn’t exactly understand what it was going on with Aaron, Roman and Q. But, Aaron was her friend, her best friend at that and she was trying her best to be supportive. If that meant getting to know Q and Roman better, that was what she was planning to do. Alison sat up slightly on her couch, “It’s fine.” She said, “Are you okay? Do you wanna talk about it?”

[kamidesai]

“I am serious. Watch this, and tell me you don’t think it’s fuckin’ real.” Kam held up his phone to the person next to him, lost in yet another rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. This week, he’d found a whole slew of new evidence surfacing online of otherworldly beings, desperate to share his findings with anyone who would listen. “This looks too real to be edited, look at that light just zipping across the sky - it’s a full on UFO, and people aren’t even taking it seriously. Think of all the technology the government is hiding from us under wraps, we could be leaps and bounds ahead of what we are currently with science, and yet selfish people are keepin’ that shit on lock down. I dunno, it bothers me.”

[alison-haynes]

Alison loved conversations with Kami and maybe this was the reason why. His thought process was far from hers and he always had something interesting up his sleeve. She took his phone from her, eyes focused on the picture in front of him. “Okay, so its really well edited, but I don’t think it’s real.” She said, “I mean, I do believe that there are other human like creatures out there, and I’m sure in someway the government does know about them, but I think they’d be more careful then this.”

“i don’t know…we’re not into this shit, you know?” jude sighed, staring at the aisle in front of him. “i don’t want to do something big, just like a little something so he knows i’m thinking about him.” not that he really needed to tell cillian that, they were still in that lame-ass honeymoon phase everyone talked about. but for the first time, jude was with someone he loved on valentine’s day and he wanted to show it, even if traditional means seemed really stupid. “a bear maybe…but nah…chocolates but, we could just steal that shit.” he shrugged, “any suggestions?”

[alison-haynes]

Alison wasn’t typically shopping at a place like this, but she had been exploring lately new places to go, even if it meant Diego, her body guard taggged along to every place she went. The truth was, Alison hadn’t bought a regular Valentine’s Day gift in years, even her kids got elaborate gifts for love day. “Is this a very new relationship?” She asked, raising an eyebrow trying to feel out what Jude was looking for. “I’d say write a song, but I don’t think it comes easily for everone.”

While she realized she looked like someone who had lost their mind, Jae-in couldn’t find it in herself to care as she hid behind someone’s vehicle. Looked like she needed to add her favorite café to the list of places to avoid, because her ex had taken to visiting any place he thought she might stumble into. She hadn’t a clue why he was even bothering, when she had made it clear that there was no forgiving the way that he had just walked out on her after something so… Jae couldn’t allow herself to finish that thought, and didn’t have to, since it was interrupted by footsteps approaching beside her. Plastering on what was undoubtedly a not-convincing smile, she lifted her head, to look at who was possibly the owner of the car she’d chosen to hide behind. “Um, this isn’t what it looks like,” was all she had to say for herself, though she wasn’t certain what the situation even looked like. “Is this your car? I can just, uh, move out of the way so you can go…” Despite her words, she didn’t move. It was unlike her to come off so awkward, but this wasn’t her finest moment. 

[alison-haynes]

Grabbing coffee was something the international popstar did often but usually she did it at The Grind. This morning though, she happened to be running late from meeting to meeting and needed the caffeine boost now, so the nearest cafe had to do. It was a cute little shop, she just hoped the coffee would be up to her standards. She followed her body guard back out to the car, surprised to see someone crouched behind it. For someone known around the globe, Alison was a pretty down to earth person, and tried to keep it that way. Especially for the sake of her kids. Much to the dismay of her body guard, she crouched next to the girl by the car. “Are you good?” She asked softly, “Because if you’re not, then you probably shouldn’t be here.”

Aurora was currently in the midst of doing one of her favorite past times, shopping! She had gotten off from work not too long and she thought she’d spend the rest of her day getting a coffee and looking for some new statement pieces for her closet. Looking through the winter apparel, she noticed one that she thought was pretty cute. Glancing over, she asked for the person closest to her. “Hey, can I ask for your opinion on something? Do you think this would look cute with a skirt and some converse or something?” she spoke.

[alison-haynes]

New York was a big place. You’d think for the celebrity running into people wouldn’t happen as often as it did. But, this was the second time she ran into this girl while shopping. The last time she saw her, it was about super squishy stuffed animals, this time clothes. “I think it could be pulled off.” Alison agreed, running her fingers through her hair. “But you have to have the right type of skirt to go with it.”

Landon was grateful to be out of the hospital but he wished he could move around by himself without wincing in pain with every step. As much as it sucked, he tried his best to focus on the positive side. He was alive, back home with his daughter and he had a lot of help from his friends which was keeping him going. And at least his injuries weren’t as bad as they could have been, considering how serious the accident was.

Things would be a lot easier if his friends weren’t being overly protective and not giving him the chance to move. He thanked them for the glass of water and pain medication, swallowing them down in one go. “You know I can get up to get stuff myself as well? It hurts a bit but I’ve got to get used to moving on my own again at some point. Besides, I broke my arm not my leg.”

[alison-haynes]

Alison was very worried when she heard about Landon’s accident and had spent the following day helping Aaron take care of Elle. But she was glad that he was out of the hospital and was glad to come over and help for a little while, even if he exclaimed he didn’t need help.

“I know you can do it.” She told him, “But, you will have plenty of time to do it yourself when I’m not here. So, while I am here, why not take advantage of my help?”

[natevanderbilt]

He was rarely clumsy. Okay, perhaps that was a bit of a lie since he sometimes tripped over his own feet when he was in a rush. Or when he had something on his mind. Or when he was on his phone checking an email. As per usual, it was the latter’s fault as he bumped into someone, even as Nathaniel constantly told himself to not multitask while walking home. “I’m so sorry.” He apologized, repeating the words a couple of times as he made sure the person he’d bumped into was okay. “I, uh…” he trailed off, sliding his phone on the front pocket of his khakis, “– was distracted.” Nathaniel cleared his throat, deciding against apologizing again. “There’s a shop nearby if you want a smoothie or coffee or… anything.” 

[alison-haynes]

Alison usually wasn’t alone on the streets of New York, as she was a worldwide celebrity. She was often accompanied by her bodyguard Diego, who may have had too much coffee this morning. Alison promised him that she would be okay if he slipped into a nearby store to use the restroom. But less than a second after he disappeared, someone bumped into the star. She laughed softly, pushing some of her blonde hair behind her ear. “Please, don’t apologize. It happens.” She promised. “No need for a coffee or anything.”

[alison-haynes]

Alison was worried about Landon, it was easy to worry when your close friend was in an accident. But for now, she was just going to go over and help Aaron keep their daughter and Landon’s daughter entertained for the day. Keeping Elle’s mind away from where her dad was right now was important. Thankfully, the blonde had a sitter for the twins today, and was able to drop the rest of her planned out day. She let herself into Aaron’s pent, and headed up to the kitchen. “I brought pizza, and wine for us.” She said, setting the goodies down on the counter. “Where are the girls?”

Bradley was always grateful for his parents gifting him the company. He never spoke about the truth, though. If he told people, they’d just know he was a spoilt brat.

“Uh, around about two years. I’ve only really been visiting and working on site for the last year, though,” he explained, perching on one of the flip seats. 

The gift of the company provided him stability. A steady income of money and his parents’ knowledge that he’d be okay. Alison seemed like the person who wouldn’t judge, but he still decided to tell a little white lie and keep the truth from her. 

“My parents met here before moving to Ohio, so they encouraged me to buy the company when I moved away. What about you? How long have you been playing music for?” he asked, curious about the woman.

“Oh, well you must be really proud of what has come out of here in the past couple of years. I’ve come to a couple of productions here, they are. always great.” She told him. She ran fingers through her blonde hair as she turned on the bench to watch him take a seat.

“I’ve been playing music for as long as I can remember.” Alison said honestly. “Singing came first, but I got my first guitar in elementary school. I used to drive my brother insane, following him around and begging him to watch what I called my talent shows.”

[alison-haynes]

“Yes, they do! They make them in all sizes and inches. The smallest are 4.5′ or 5 inches I believe? They also go all the way up to 24 inches, it’s crazy,” she giggled. “Personally, my favorite sizes are 12 or 16 inch one’s. They’re not too big and don’t take up too much room on my bed. I like to keep a few with me to cuddle with at night.”

“I will have to find some of those smaller ones.” She mentioned, “My daughter is six, so I think if I got her a bunch of these sized ones,” Alison shook the one she was holding in her hand, “They might drown her in her bed. But, a couple of these ones and then more of the smaller ones couldn’t do much harm.”

[alison-haynes]

Quentin had wondered into the theater looking for Roman. He was suppose to meet up with him for dinner, but strangely he couldn’t seem to find him anywhere. He started to second guess if this was even where they were supposed to meet. But he was pulled from his thoughts as he heard Alison singing. Her music, and her voice, God!! They had always been one of his top five favorites. He couldn’t help but to listen, her lyrics were some of the best poetry he had ever heard in songwriting. He moved closer, coming up behind her before taking a seat. “Oh, no. Not me” he smiled. “Please continue. You’re voice is so beautiful and those lyrics. Wow!”

Alison didn’t know Quentin all too well. She knew the things that Aaron had told him about him, she had also met him a handful of times thanks to Aaron, but she didn’t know him well at all. She also wasn’t too fond about whatever it was going on between Aaron, Quentin and Roman, but she wasn’t going to let Quentin know that. She needed to figure out her feelings to this whole thing and talk to Aaron about it. She smiled softly at the other, “Oh, thank you.” She said. This song was really important to her, it was something she had been trying to put onto paper for a while and could never quite get it. “How have you been Quentin?” She asked, recalling the last time she had seen him was at Chrismtas.

[alison-haynes]

Dorian had always admired Alison’s work ethic. He’d like to think he was also a rather hard worker, but the way he worked hardly rivaled the way Alison did. Even with twin babies at home, she still was putting her mind, heart, and soul into her music. It was amazing. “Yessss,” He cheered, grinning brightly. “I’m so excited for you to put new music out.”

Alison was a workaholic and there was no denying it. Though the blonde loved her family and spending time with them, she also loved her music and loved being on stage, performing for the world. There was nothing quite like that feeling. “I am too. And this by far is my best album yet.” She said proudly.

Aurora was so happy to explain the wonderfulness that were Squishmallows. It was no shock that she was so obsessed with them, back in her youth she had a huge love for Webkinz and pillow pets. She had just slowly progressed her love for stuffed animals and she would probably never be sick of them. “Oh yes, these are called Squishmallows! They are super soft and are supposed to feel like a marshmellow, hence the name. They make them in all sizes and types, mostly animals and some fruits or other types of foods! They’re super popular and for a good reason.”

These stuffed animals were interesting the singer, as they looked far squishier than a normal stuffed animal. Plus, it was quite cute and she thought Destiny would love one of them. “A marshmallow? I’m intrigued.” The blonde admitted, picking up one of the large ones from the shelf, “Wow, they really are soft.” She said with a soft laugh. “They have smaller ones than this? I think my daughter would love to add a few to her stuffed animal collection.”
