— an embarrassing voicemail ;

“ please ignore the text i sent you last night. i was drunk. . . and maybe a little lonely. but that doesn’t excuse the fact that i shouldn’t have hit you up. it’s best to keep our distance from each other. think about cora. she’s my friend. and i don’t have many so, there’s no point in messing with that over a bit of fun. look, i like you, casper. thanks for being a friend but for your own sake, let’s not think of it as more. trust me, it’s not worth it. just delete the text. okay, darling ? ”

— a loving voicemail ;

“ hey, red — great fuckin’ job tonight. you deserved that standing ovation. i could never do what you did onstage tonight. seriously, you were magnetic. any director would be lucky to work with you. uh, you don’t need to call me back if you don’t want to. just wanted to let you. hopefully, you’re celebrating right now. i bet everyone’s asking for your autograph. but they gotta get in line, you know ? i’m first up. or. . . maybe second. don’t want to piss off mari. i’ll see you tomorrow, yeah ? text me when you’re in bed. okay. great job again. later. ”

— adam ! ( @dcmeterwrites​ )

     evie huffed as she collapsed onto the bench in front of the luxurious venue, glowering at the valet attendant giving her a “you don’t belong here” glance as he walked by. she was far too tipsy, far too furious to contend with another asshole today. she’d already ripped two of them a new one mere moments before. there was a part of her that knew she should feel mortified by what just went down, but she didn’t — she simply felt rage. the lockwoods had always been notably hinted as dicks but nothing could have prepared her to actually witness that.

     so yeah, the blonde popped off and called them on their bullshit. what the hell else was she meant to do ? just sit there and listen as they pierced their children with every cruelly veiled word ? no fucking way. those narcissistic, heartless assholes were going to get a taste of their own medicine.

           “ this wedding sucks anyways. . . ” she blurted out to no one in particular, grimacing as she hitched up emerald gown to kick off one of her heels. god, those motherfuckers hurt like a bitch. as she reached for the other, evie heard the footsteps and realized she wasn’t alone. her eyes flitted up in time to meet adam’s gaze. great. he was never going to let her live this debacle down. “ don’t worry. i’ll spare you the embarrassment of going back in and get an uber back to the hotel. ”

— newt ! ( @salvctions​ )

          “ i think it’s coming along nicely ! ” mari piped up excitedly. she knew helping her cook probably wasn’t a high priority on her boyfriend’s list, but she so appreciated newt doing it nonetheless. hosting friendsgiving for five was certainly a task the brunette was prepared for, but it helped to have all hands on deck. that was precisely why cora had been in charge of the decorations and evie was at he store right now, braving the holiday mass to buy cranberry sauce. they all had their part to contribute.

     slowly, she stirred the gravy with a large spoon. the consistency was perfect and all there was left to do was taste. ladling a bit onto the spoon, mari held it up to newt’s lips with a nervous smile. “ mind tasting it ? and promise me you’ll tell me if it’s bad. ” there was still an hour until meal time. if she had to remake the gravy, she would certainly remake the gravy. “ blow first. i don’t want it to burn you. . . ”

— elene ! ( @salvctions​ )

          “ babe, c’mon. ”

     the two words were said with a mixture of exasperation and amusement. but he knew his fiancée like the back of his hand and he could see the wheels turning in her brain. it was his own damn fault, ty supposed. he was the one who suggested that they take the scenic walk home, which meant that they had to pass the dog pound a block away from the apartment.

     ty followed elene’s eyes through the full length display window, taking note of the array of dogs of many sizes and breeds playing around their concrete playground. one in particular, a golden retriever puppy, was pressed against the window, tail wagging like crazy as he kept his gaze zeroed in on her. 

      with a sigh, he wrapped his arms around elene. a quick kiss was pressed to her temple before he murmured in her ear. “ i know he’s cute, but puppies are expensive and hard as hell. . .”

— @dcmeterwrites​ ! ( adam )

     teeth sliced harshly into the inside of evelyn’s cheek, repressing a wince as she took slow steps into the infirmary. she wasn’t just good ; she was the best there was. it came to no bigger frustration than to herself that one scum of a mutant had gotten a brief one-up on her. it only lasted for a moment but a moment had been long enough for the man’s claws to sink into her ribcage, the thick armored top now stained by pierce marks and her blood. 

     oh, well. she would live. the same couldn’t be said for other. his surprise attack had been exactly what the blonde needed to wrestle him to the ground, her blade eventually slicing into jugular like butter. mission complete.

      silently, she headed for the medicine cabinet, shoving it open to retrieve the bottle of antiseptic. not even glancing behind her, her fingers quickly wrapped around one of the neatly folded towels, chucking it behind her and in adam’s direction for him to use at his own discretion. they had never needed words to communicate. oddly enough, he was perhaps the one person on this planet that she felt in tune with. had been for the past decade. 

          she eyed the roll of gauze that laid on the counter, presently closer to adam than herself, but didn’t speak a word to ask for it. instead, she lifted the armored top carefully, not even hesitating before she poured the antiseptic onto the wound. her teeth deceptively gritted together to mask a grimace.

      sure, she couldn’t die but she sure as hell could still feel pain.

     today had to be the most thoroughly unpleasant experience that evie had gone through — and this was coming from a girl who had been in the hospital twice, fighting for her life. 

     okay, that was pretty dark. even for her. but god, rich people had to be the worst kind of species to roam this planet. ironic how much the lot of them seemed to boast about their shiny ivy league degrees and comfy high-powered jobs when she was pretty sure she’d yet to hear an intelligent thought from any of them. everything about this was an absolute joke. this whole ordeal wasn’t even about love. it was about flaunting wealth and status. 

     and even though he was the most irritating man — no, person — on the planet, evie could safely say that adam didn’t deserve this kind of energy in his life. at all.

            “ gross. ” she murmured seconds after a sip of champagne, scrunching her face up in disgust. all of this money, and they couldn’t even make the alcohol taste good ? 

     she set the glass aside on the table, running her fingers through her blonde tresses ( fucking weird to be in her natural hair color ) as her gaze swiveled to the only other person still at the table. adam was off, forcibly schmoozing, cora and cam were god knows where. that left her with astoria lockwood. evie had to admit: she was still quite wary about the older woman. even after she came in clutch with a quick hem job back at the hotel. maybe it was osmosis from what adam had mentioned about her.

           “ do you even like the cousin getting married ? ”
