TASK FIVE | MAKE THE WORLD YOUR RUNWAY

I try to keep my tasks in order of who I applied with first but Allie’s obviously a lot more fun when it comes to how she dresses compared to Brandon who lives in his paramedic uniform and Danny who only knows 5 colors and they’re all different shades of black.

Anyways, Allie dresses like she wants to give Malibu Barbie a run for her money. Lots of pinks, lavenders, and baby blues. She’s 100% the type of person to actually own a mint colored Yankees cap and wear men’s shirts that she’s stolen with bright bikinis. Jaw clips to put her hair up, a little gold necklace with an A pendant hanging from it. There’s comfort in being casual, Al’s just extra and would wear a basic USC crewneck every day but 9/10 you can find her in shorts and a top that shows off her midriff instead if she’s not running errands or at work. You can find her more dressed up when she’s at Elite since the environment calls for it and it’s very noticeable that it’s the only place she’ll ever be seen wearing black.  

Hopefully, this fake lookbook does justice lol

Bella: Tell me you're not physically hurt at least??

Bella: I know A, I know.

Bella: Trying to figure that out. I'm on my way to meet Vas. Please don't blow me up for it, I just need answers. We all do.

Bella: Let me know when you're home safe.

Allie: Physically, no, not really. A few cuts and bruises but nothing I can't handle. Promise.

Allie: Wait ― Bella, no ?? You cannot be serious right now... You really want to see Vas? Right now? After all that?

Allie: Are we forgetting what just happened?

Allie: Did we both suddenly have two different experiences just now?

“I didn’t say anything.” Anton said, taking his position by the door with an obvious smirk on his face. She looked like she couldn’t tell her ass from her elbow in this shop, a complete duck out of water. But instead of pointing out the obvious he only eyed her, amused, partially because she’d been the fifth person today to walk through those doors looking completely lost yet suddenly determined to exercise their second amendment right and strap themselves to the teeth. 

He glanced behind him, eyeing the sales clerk with a shake of his head. No she was not dangerous and not a known member of the Scorpions (that he knew of). Would’ve been pretty crazy if she was, seeing as he recognized her and if that clueless expression on her face was any indication, it was clear she still hadn’t ventured very far from that blissful, ignorant bubble of hers. “You have a permit, ma’am?” He stressed, polite as ever. “You seem lost.”

ALLIE WAS ALL smooth skin and rosy cheeks, an East Coast girl who rode horses and played tennis. To say she was in over her head was an understatement, and she knew that. It’s why she had been pacing the shop to begin with, so she didn’t need the other smirking at her doing that thing guys do when they thought they knew more than her. Especially if it was coming from this guy.

It didn’t take long to register him the closer she got to the door and that was enough for Allie to slip back into her usual ease once she faced him,  letting her voice tune into something solicitous like there was no one in the world she’d rather talk to. ❝ Well, aren’t you official. ❞ Allie pulled a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes and smoothed a pink fingernail over Anton’s collar. ❝ Don’t be a dick if you aren’t going to help. ❞ She wasn’t sure why she was surprised to find him here, sketchy places did have habits of attracting sketchy people, but the feeling that came over her was bordering on something akin to being grateful, damn near thankful to have crossed a face knew rather than one she didn’t. Allie took a step back and folded her arms back under her chest while she giving him the short answer. ❝ I heard you can sign up for basic firearms training courses. Maybe I’m interested. ❞

ARMS CROSSED AND face steeled, Alison looked like she had been standing outside of Locked n’ Loaded for a good long while before she took the time to notice a figuring approaching. Had this been a couple weeks ago and maybe she would have laughed at the thought of her being here, on this side of town, staring into a shop that sold adult - sized toys to those with a very specific need. Now whenever she thought about how unprepared she was for the wedding while people had similar objects strapped beneath the folds of their formal wear, she just got angry, like she had missed the fine print somewhere that said to conceal and carry. So while she had awoken this morning with the intent of storming down to OPD in a whiskey - induced rage after coming to terms with all that had happened, she instead found herself lingering outside a shop she had no real business being at. 

❝ What? ❞ Allie broke her gaze to look over at the other with a careful lift of her brow, she didn’t have time for any judgment. ❝ Baby can’t find interest in getting a gun? ❞

hayesevans​:

Hayes could tell he was doing better with everything happening around them than Allie was. Perhaps it was because he’d experienced death and horror before, maybe it was because every time he closed his eyes saw the dead bodies of his parents. Having to identify his own parents corpses at the age of fourteen was something he had never managed to come to terms with but maybe it had made him numb to seeing bodies drained of life in front of his eyes. Maybe all of him inner demons and darkest trauma were finally good for something, and maybe the things he was seeing just hadn’t sank in yet. There was a significantly higher chance that the adrenaline and need for survival that he felt was numbing everything else around him. There was still the chance that as soon as he took half a second to pause and think about things that everything would hit him like a train but he didn’t have time to think about that. He couldn’t have an mental breakdown at all if he and Allie died in that room. Surviving had to be on the forefront of his mind, they didn’t have the time to stop and think about what was happening. 

Hayes had never considering himself brave or strong or heroic. His whole life he had been the nerdy skinny kid who was innocent and unassuming. Loud sounds made him flinch and if they were loud enough they made him jump, a man like him wasn’t cut out to be in a room like this. And yet, there was no other option. He could see Allie crumbling before his eyes and if he needed to be strong enough for both of them that was exactly what he’d do to get them out of there. There was a dead body next to them, the third he’d been that day. He was starting to get horrifically familiar with the sound dead bodies made as the hit the ground. He was getting even more horrifically familiar with the sound bullets made as they hit someone. It was a sound he never wanted to hear again in his life. Hayes avoided looking down at yet another dead person among the chaos. He had no idea if he knew them, if they had blonde hair or brown, if they were young or old and he had no intention of finding out. As soon as he heard those words leave her lips he knew he had to do something. He lightly slapped Allie on the face, hopefully not enough to hurt but enough to get her attention and force her mind from the body that she was staring at. He knew at that moment with a level of determination he’d never felt in his life that he would get Allie out of that room unharmed. He was going to need her help to ensure both of their safety, but he knew they could do it. People like them didn’t deserve to die like this. All they’d been trying to do was have fun, they’d done nothing to warrant the bullets raining down around them. 

Without another thought he pulled her to her feet, knowing that as soon as they stood they were more at risk than ever. Without waiting for the next round of gunfire to find them he ran, pulling Allie with him through the room. The first exit he spotted was a broken window that had either been broken by a person or a bullet. Whichever it was, he didn’t care, it was their way out. Hayes stood by the window waiting for Allie to crawl out first. She was his priority. “Go! I’m right behind you.”

ALISON DIDN’T REALIZE IT at first but her eyes were closed and she was whispering something under her breath, soft lips mouthing a quick count to ten in a sort of a technique she’d made a habit of whenever she began to feel like she was drifting out of place. A trick on how to stay calm, be present, and survive when her body didn’t know how to. She tried to think of chilly football games and overheated parties. Christmas in the city, the warmth her sisters’ hugs at the dinner table. She thought of graduation with Bella, summers spent in Lacoste skirts and headbands. Any memory that felt golden enough needed to wash over her within the moment or else she’d be focusing too much on the dead body that was now slumped in front of her, the feeling of Hayes hands light on the cheeks of her skin. Only she never registers much of either since coming out of her trance. She could hear people yelling but it took her a second to remember why. Allie blinked between Hayes and the shouting, her eyes dropping down to the body before backing up away from it until they were both running again. It didn’t take long before she was letting Hayes pull her around in all sorts of directions and forcing them over by a window explaining this to be their way out. 

So, without thinking, Allie dropped to the ground and grabbed the biggest shard of glass she could find since didn’t know what else could be waiting for them outside of this if this is what it looked like in here. She had already come to the terms with the fact that she wasn’t cut out to be here experiencing any of this but that didn’t stop the nagging feeling the back of her mind of wanting to be able to do something if anything else happened regardless of what. If Hayes could bring himself together to get them out of here safely, then the least she could do was try to be helpful considering her last moments weren’t her finest. She’d still be stuck behind a chair crying, alone, and feeling weak instead of minutes away from escaping if it wasn’t for him so she had to give him the satisfaction of knowing she was trying just as much as he was despite the freeze ups. The realization of just how close they were getting to being out of here filled her with a sense of urgency she didn’t know she had, but before she found herself prepping to exit, she found herself at the mercy of another idea. Allie took the very limited time they had left to be here to take a step forward to Hayes and brought her lips close enough to his into the form of a kiss. Only before she could enjoy much of it, Allie had pulled away and backed up towards the window.

❝ That was for not leaving me. ❞ She put a leg over the ledge. ❝ Now let’s get the hell out of here.❞

Who: @alliejdrake​​

Where: cressino farm wedding / post plot drop

It wasn’t the first time Hayes had found himself with a gun pointed at his head, a fact which only disturbed him more rather than bringing him any kind of comfort. He was a normal guy, he followed the rules, did his job and he paid his taxes. There was no way he should have been held at gun point as many times as he had. Not only that but everything going on in the wedding hall seemed to be moving in super speed and slow motion at the same time. A group of people he didn’t recognize had seemingly taken over the wedding and started shooting at people. Maybe Hayes shouldn’t have attempted to move when everyone was clearly told not to, if he hadn’t he might not have been gifted with the special treatment of having a gun pointed straight at his head. The screams were deafening, covered only by the sound of gun fire that didn’t seem to end but all he could focus on was the gun. 

People said that when you were about to die your life flashes before your eyes but for Hayes everything was blank. Even as he watched the man’s trigger finger start to move there were no images of days gone by or the good times he’d had. All there was was screaming and the gun. He took a deep breath in having no doubt that it was about to be his last and as he exhaled he finally heard the shot ring out. Much to his surprise the pain didn’t follow the gunshot and as he began to pay more attention to his surroundings he noticed that the gun was no longer pointed to his head. Instead it was on the floor along with the man that had been about to end his life.

Hayes wasn’t sure he believed in god or any kind of all knowing being, but he silently thanked whatever or whoever had just saved his life. He made a silent promise to do more with his life and become a better man but before he had too much time to pray another bullet whizzed past him head making him duck. He stayed low to the ground, he needed to find Allie and get the hell out of there. He knew the last time he’d seen the blonde she was in the hall not too far away from him so she had to be close by. 

He took in his surroundings, trying to ignore all of the blood and dead bodies surrounding him to focus on any strand of blonde hair. It took a couple of seconds but he finally managed to find Allie crouched behind a chair. In a rush a courage he’d never had before he ran over to her, standing over her to shield her from any possible disasters. “We need to get out of here. I think I saw some people running towards an exit with less of the people with guns. We need to move.” He yelled over the battle, adrenaline and the need to protect Allie kicking in. A part of him knew when they were safe and he stopped moving he’d be a wreck but he didn’t have time to think about that. First he needed them to survive. 

SHE HAD BLACKED OUT the moments between having a gun pointed to the back of her head to when she found herself down by the tables on her hands and knees, blood caked in her nails and glass bits in her hair. Her timeline of things was starting to get fuzzy the more her mind worked on sorting out the details, still unable to process the night’s first points of issues while failing to remember how she managed to get tucked down here in the first place after being threatened by someone twice her size like she did something to them. Only every conclusion kept coming up short thanks to her train of thought being harrowed by images of Kate, the sight her body being stripped of life in front of everyone she knew by some man who fancied himself something special. The realization of how haunting a body became after being touched by death came over her in waves of clarity with the more energy she put into replaying the whole thing, letting all that anger she felt crash over as she forced herself to hyperfocus on the now instead of letting grief grip at her in distraction. She had no intentions of dying tonight. So while she could feel the heel on her left shoe had become broken, the strap at her ankle to remove them was the least of her worries as she shifted low between chairs and tables, her breath hitching in her chest as she felt the floor beneath her shake with people falling from wounds and blasts going off overhead. Every scream, every choked out word for mercy made Alison’s stomach flop and cause a wave of dizziness to roll over her. More screams erupted to her right and she could see bullets rolling and hitting the floors like pennies. 

She needed to get out of here.

In what world did people like her deserve treatment like this? She was a good fucking person for the most part. Glitzy at twenty six and she was supposed to be thriving, drunk on life to celebrate the people she loved, not hidden under a table at a wedding on a farm like a mouse being trapped by a house cat looking for slaughter. 

Allie had crawled behind once last chair before a shadow loomed over her and it took her a few seconds to let her eyes adjust to Hayes just standing there, the sight of him looking so surreal she hadn’t realized she wasn’t breathing until she felt herself gasp, tears stinging in her eyes because just for one second she thought someone was coming towards her again. However, she didn’t need to be told twice. They had to get out of there and Allie was happy to oblige by hiking the hem of her dress over her ankles with one hand as she stood up, the other reaching out for Haye’s. . .only before they could make moves to turn, someone not to far from them managed to get clipped right in their chest in and then Allie felt herself stiffen like she had just gone frigid, hand squeezing his as she looked at the body drop on in horror.

❝  Hayes. I need you to get me out of here. ❞

   if there was one person she knew she could always count on for a good time, it was alison. no matter if that was out at elite or in the comfort of their own homes, wherever the blonde was, there was a promise of a fun time. “ what a good friend you are. “ she beamed with a cheeky grin in place on her lips, a small laugh quickly falling when she started walking backwards. kiara followed allie’s footsteps, a look of approval coming in to play on her features. “ you see, i knew there was a reason why i love you. “ the playful note in her voice one that easily mimicked the others. “ i’m thinking tequila. “ as if there really was any other choice.

ALLIE NODDED HER head in approval. She had to agree; she was a good friend and no one could tell her otherwise. More importantly, however, was the fact that so was Ki and that made their loyalty to one another stronger than the average. ❝ Oooh, you want to do tequila shots? ❞ She loved to hear it. So with brows raised, Allie stopped her backward footing and regarded Ki with keen interest, the idea sounding more and more appealing as the minutes ticked on. Allie looped an arm around the other’s shoulder once they both fell into a proper stride and began to direct them towards the bar. ❝ Good plan and good choice. You think I’ll be lucky enough to warp Hayes into doing some? ❞ She wasn’t betting on it, but the night was still young. She took a sideways glance to Kiara and lifted her brows. ❝ How’s your night been? You came with the redhead, right? ❞

sage is sliding the rings off her fingers as she fixes her makeup, changing her lipstick to a brighter red , due to her outfit changed. it’s not like she didn’t like her bridesmaid dress,  because she did : she adored it. yet her and allie went shopping for this occasion and she needed to look her best along with her other half. walking out with a champagne flute In her hand, she couldn’t help but shake her head. ❝ I’m telling you, we haven’t spoken. look at the end of the day, william can honestly shack up with a damn rock and I couldn’t care less .

❝ HAVE YOU SEEN him, though? ❞ While her head might have been ducked, the pads of her thumbs pressing rapidly over the screen of her phone, Allie’s primary attention was still on Sage. ❝ With Winter, I mean. ❞ She personally had at the beginning. Will being one of the few people Allie wanted pictures with before the reception went into full swing, but she hadn’t thought anything of his choices in dates since she was still wrapping her head around all of this. Just talking about it now made Allie look up from her phone after sending out a last string of messages, a different thought quickly popping into her head. 

❝ Speaking of drama, was that He Who Shall Not Be Named I saw earlier? ❞ The refusal to mention Ivan’s name felt necessary. ❝ Like, why is he even here? Can we please focus on that instead of who my boss ends up shacking up with by the end of tonight? ❞ She didn’t want to cringe but she felt her shoulders give off a faint shudder.

❝ YOU LOOK LIKE a dream, babe! ❞ The words that fell from Allie were said in a singsong, a melody formed from champagne and whisky, as she looped an arm through Julia’s. ❝ An absolute dream. ❞ The blonde was almost positive that the bride beside her had heard these words in a multitude of variations from off the lips of family and close friends, guests and their dates, but there was no harm in indulging the beauty of her friend with some more sweet words while they maneuvered the reception area. Cressino Farm was undoubtedly getting more packed as the hours threaded on. Faced blurred past them and Allie made a mental note to ask later how long did it take Julia and Gabe to go through the guest list and whether or not they intended for all of Oceanside to arrive. Then again, if you’re going to have a wedding, it might as well be big. She stopped them short at one of the dessert tables and unhooked their arms, a free hand going to a fruit tart first. 

❝ Sooo, ❞ Allie began, dragging out the small word as she pulled a raspberry off the pastry.  ❝ do you feel any different now that you’re hitched? ❞

SHE WAS ON the hunt, the glass neck of a stolen whiskey bottle tight in her grip as she weaved through faces with the target of a certain blonde friend on her mind. Music blaring and heart racing, it didn’t take Alison long to spot Aspen through the sea of guests that seemed to be doubling with each passing hour. ❝ Surprise, surprise. Look what I got, ❞ Allie raised the bottle higher the closer she got to Aspen, ❝ and before you say anything, I absolutely did not steal this from the waiter who was following us around us earlier and no, I didn’t give him Holden’s number instead of one of ours. ❞ If the waiter happened to call someone who sounded like Holden instead of them then it was entirely out of her hands, she must have gotten the numbers mixed up when she wrote them down on one of those monogrammed wedding napkins. Bare shoulders shrugged and Allie felt her grin spreading Cheshire cat like.

Location: Th Dessert Station Status: Open to all

To be honest, Gabe was feeling pretty great about the day. Sure, it was never going to be a surprise that he was getting married some point soon,  but the fact it had actually happened was a wonderful feeling. He honestly was happy and the fact he had essentially allowed himself to relax for the first time in a long time was a huge indicator that he was riding the high of just walking down the aisle. The groom was making his rounds talking to people, enjoying the freedom of being able to have a drink in his hand and not even the fact that he had noticed some familiar but unwelcome faces was pushing him off his high for the day. He took a break and grabbed something else to eat from the dessert bar before noticing someone approaching him. “ I swear I’ve been thanking people all day that I haven’t had a chance to eat. Do you think I can make a bouquet of donuts and bring it back to my table?” He asked out loud more to himself before realizing. “Oh Shit, hey are you having a good time?” He added course correcting his thoughts about how to structurally make a food bouquet. 

IT FELT AS if all of Oceanside had cracked open and spilled out all over the venue, faces blurring past her as she weaved through guests expertly with the hem of her dress balled carefully in her fists. Who would have thought the newly weds to be so popular? Though she was expecting a large party, nothing in her mind, she felt, could have prepared her for all of this. Allie cut through the dance floor and let the skirt of her dress flow back onto the grass, feeling the material swoosh against her heels as she made way to tables displaying something of actual substance. Treats of all kinds appearing in forms of small cakes, donuts, and fruit tarts. She was just about to reach for a pink macaroon before she heard him, her attention quick to find Gabe’s as he circled around asking if whether or not he could make a donut bouquet. She flicked her gaze down to the plate and then back to him, ❝ It’s . . . possible? I think. ❞ Maybe? The thought had honestly never crossed her mind until now, only thinking about the logistics didn’t last long before the conversation moved. Allie stood a little shocked at his question.❝ Gabe, this is your day. Who cares if me, or anyone else, is having fun? This day is about you. ❞ And Julia, but she felt like that was given without saying. She picked up a plate of cinnamon rolls and stuck it out in his direction.  

❝ Here, take a sticky bun. ❞
