damn your love, damn your lies

I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

Grace shivered and grimaced, “I love the outdoors, but if one more fucking spider crawls over my foot and surprise tickles me, I swear I’m gonna go on a spider killing spree.”

Robecca nodded absently, not even bothering to look up from the notebook she was writing in.

“Yeah, can’t say I’m a fan of that. Also, ants keep crawling on me and it’s freaking me out.”

“Introductions are a two way street. I didn’t introduce myself either. I’m Fiona,” she said reasonably. “And you don’t talk too much. Trust me, there are people here who I wish would shut up sometimes. I’m gonna say that you’re not one of them.”

She nodded, attempting to (and failing) to fight the pleased expression off her face.

“That’s a pretty name. I’m guessing it isn’t after the Shrek character?”

In all honestly, that had been funnier in her head.

How awkward. “I like a lot of different things, but nothing super unified. I was very into Cris Williamson last summer. I’m on an Ingrid Michaelson binge now, interrupted by a lot of Jacob Collier,” Fiona said, wondering if she needed to provide more examples. “We don’t have to talk about music if it’s uncomfortable. A lot of things make me uncomfortable.”

Robecca wasn’t really sure of who any of those people were, but she nodded as if she did. She could just google them later.

“Oh yeah, we can definitely change subject, no problem! I’m sure I talk way too much.”

She paused.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t introduce myself did I? I’m Robecca.”

“Oof.” Katie laughed, not at the girl, but because she was the last person on earth to understand most pop culture references. “I think it’s some app that kids make short videos on.”

She nodded, a giggle escaping to her surprise.

“Okay, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who isn’t sure what it is. That makes sense.”

“i’m so totally happy to be in the sunshine and fresh air! there’s literally no place like camp.”

She closed her eyes and took a breath before nodding in agreement and opening them again.

“I’ve never gotten to do the whole “camp” thing, but the weather and the view are amazing.” It’s so much better than I expected.”

[beckseverly]

“Yes, yes– exactly!” Brielle exclaimed excitedly, finally able to tape the poster into place. She grinned at it for a moment, before looking at the other girl. “You are a lifesaver.”

She waved a hand.” 

“It’s nothing. Anything else you needed me to do?”

[beckseverly]

fionacoynee‌:

“Yeah, I know those. I don’t think you can go too wrong with those bands. They’re all pretty popular, I think. To my understanding, Queen’s the most likely for you to get good responses of the bunch,” Fiona said, not really sure if this was the sort of music that she wanted to discuss either. But it was better than messing up an explanation of Kesha. “I like Stevie Nicks a lot in general, if that helps…”

She nodded eagerly, more confident that she wasn’t coming off as an idiot.

“Yeah,Queen’s super popular right now! My da-”

‘He is not your dad’, she reminded herself. She hated having to remind herself of that.

“Um, yeah, so do I! I’ve always looked up to her. Is there any other music you like?”

[beckseverly]

fionacoynee‌:

“Yeah, I think that’s one of her songs. I don’t think she uses the dollar sign in her name anymore, though. She might have done some songs with that Macklemore guy,” Fiona said, a little baffled that she was not the most obviously uncomfortable one in this conversation. “I’m not supremely into most mainstream pop music either, but her stuff from a couple years ago sounded pretty cool, I think. What do you listen to?”

She nodded.

“Oh, gotcha.”

She mentally kicked herself. She probably already sounded super lame. Wait, did people in their 20′s worry about stuff like that? She sighed, then remembered that she’d been asked a question.

“Oh, uh... Mostly older stuff. Y’know, The Beegees, Queen? I’m a huge Fleetwood Mac fan too.”

[beckseverly]

fionacoynee‌:

Fiona was definitely taken aback by that, wondering if she had been pronouncing Kesha’s name wrong or something. Very possible. “Pop star known for autotune? Recently made a Grammy nom comeback after a whole lot of drama with her nasty producer? I don’t know if I’m explaining this right.”

She nodded slowly, racking her brain for a memory. Then, it hit her. She laughed, covering half her face in embarrassment. 

“Oh! She made Cannibal, didn’t she? I’ve been calling her K Dollar Sign this whole time. I haven’t listened to a whole lot of modern stuff, so I figured she was a rapper.”

[beckseverly]

fionacoynee‌:

Fiona tilted her head to one side, not having expected that question at all. "Oh, I don’t have that app. It’s like Vine, with short video memes, but worse and more censored… Unless you’re talking about that Kesha song that got stuck in my head for a while in high school.” She put a hand to her forehead, exasperated. “Crap, now it’s stuck in my head again.”

She nodded.

“Okay, I gotcha. My sister told me to look out for the dances that come from it, I guess.”

She paused for a few seconds.

“...Who’s Kesha, again?”

[beckseverly]

“Okay, listen, I know I’m gonna sound old as shit, but-”

She laughed, so it would sound like a joke. People responded better to questions if it was funny, in her experience.

“What in the hell is a Tik Tok?”

Brielle sighed, watching the other side of the banner fall down again. “Darn.” She sighed, not wanting to get off the latter again to rehang it; however, she heard someone come into the cafeteria from the door behind her. “Oh thank God!” She called to whoever it was, making sure to stay facing her side of the banner to hold it steady. “Can you help me with this? Please?”

[beckseverly]

She quickly sat down her bag and hurried over before pushing it up until it was level with the other side.

“Like this, yeah?”

Ollie was excited to be back at camp, it was a time when he could get away and forget about things bothering him. “i’m really excited about this summer, what about you?” he smiled at the other. 

Robecca smiled and nodded eagerly.

“Oh, definitely. This is really the first time I’ve ever been away from home for more than a few weeks, so I’m super excited. Anything you’re looking forward to in particular?”

[beckseverly]

“...you would never break the chain...”

Meet Robecca Everly.

Robecca is quiet and a little sheltered -- A lot of the things people did growing up (concerts, sleepovers, parties) she never got to do.  That popular thing from ten years ago? She’s just getting into it. It’s like she’s been under a rock.

She’s also not really used to people her own age, and tends to come off as cold when she isn’t sure how to react. She didn’t leave the house very often after she started online homeschooling, and was only allowed to play in the backyard when her dad was home.

However, she’s friendly and incredibly excited to meet new people. Becks had a pretty lonely childhood, and is ready to make up for it as best as she can! Just...don’t pry to much into her past.

                                        TW Kidnapping, abuse

At the age of ten Robecca was kidnapped by a man named Ron Geiger, who dragged her from town to town in California for about six months before settling them in Lovelock, Nevada. He managed to change their names to Ron and Rebecca Glassman and keep it hidden for nearly ten years that she wasn’t her daughter, and kept her hidden away from the public for nearly eight. In fact, if not for Roger Smith she may have never found out the truth.

Roger was a twenty-two year old co-worker of Ron’s who met Robecca when she was eighteen, while dropping something off for him. The two began a secret relationship, and ran off to get married in January 2015. However, Roger soon began to resent his just barely not-a-child bride, and began to spend as little time as he could with her, and was verbally abusive when he did. She eventually had enough and filed for separation in June, and the two were divorced in November.

Before her marriage, she had been attending college online, and a classmate named Megan Braff reached out to make sure she was okay. When Robecca explained, Megan offered her a place to stay in nearby California. When she arrived, Megan’s boyfriend Trevor was shocked to find his younger sister that had disappeared ten years ago. She eventually got back in touch with the rest of her family, and has been living with her parents ever since.
