Lilah was brimming with excitement, she always was at weddings but this being a close friend of hers, she was all the giddier. When she was asked to perform with her troop at the wedding, she didn’t think twice before accepting however now more than ever she was questioning why she’d requested professional dancers in the slightest. But being given the opportunity to dance, she wasn’t going to turn it down. Taking a deep breath as she stepped away from the dancefloor, motioning to the others that she was going to get a drink before trailing away fanning herself.

Staten Island was one of Lilah’s favourite places in all of New York. When she was younger her parents told her countless stories of their trips to the district and the fun they got up to whilst they were there. But with her parents’ anniversary nearing, she had ventured over to do what her Dad had done before his passing. Walking through the streets, she caught sight of the store, she quickly suffled through the door, muttering a greeting to the patrons she’d become familliar with, as she perused the display cases.

The fact a strange woman was witnessing his uncontrollable rage was a stressing factor from where he was standing. Eyes were still staring at her hand, until the moment she served him an unexpected comment, so… out of the blue. Because of that, a scoff slipped through his lips, nodding his head as if he was challenging her. “You should be,” he was quick responding, still pinning the man to the wall. The guy’s hands were working to push Jax away. However, since he was fighting for breath, his body lacked the strength to make his way out.         “Does it look like I care?” he frowned at her while turning his body towards her as she got closer. “Listen, I don’t wanna know, alright? Just get the hell outta here - I’m not fucking asking!” His eyes burned through her in anger; not sure what to do with himself in the middle of the mess, which was why he chose to push the guy to the ground before facing the newcomer.

Lilah couldn’t stop the roll of her eyes at his response as her eyes zoned in on the two figures in front of her. Her eyes trailed over their bodies, immediately scanning for any injuries that would resort in more trouble than she really needed to be wrapped up in but if there was one thing she was bad at, it was not getting involved in situations she clearly shouldn’t be in at all. Even if it was just giving her two cents, it was a curse but one that had served her well from time to time. “Kid, you look infantine” She retorted finally once was assured they were both somewhat alright, the victim in need of some TLC but coming out of it as a member of the living nonetheless, “If it wasn’t for the bloody mess you’ve made this poor guy, I’m sure even he wouldn’t be bothered by your presence,”

“Didn’t your mama teach you any manners?” She uttered, hands falling to her hips as she raised a brow at his anger. She could tell she was adding fuel to the fire, in fact, she was thriving off of it but there was an issue here that could easily be dealt with without fists - that’s what she wanted to achieve. “Well honey, I’m not going anywhere until you do ask,” A smile sitting gleefully on her face as she gave a short delighted sigh as she completely closed the distance between them, dropping to check the pulse of the body now sprawled on the floor, “You sure can pack a punch, can’t you? Where’s all that ferocity coming from in such a young boy?”

Liam relaxed immediately when the woman didn’t seem offended by his words, it was one of the first times he had ever actually tried to explain why he wasn’t interested and it was more relieving then he knew how to explain that she had taken it so well. “That, um, that sounds pretty good. I don’t even drink much myself, so we can get you some water and … I can see what they’ve got that non-alcoholic for me?”

The smile, that had seemed to become a permanent fixture on her face that evening, waned every so slightly so it was a soft curl as she gave a distracted nod at his words before offering out her hand as she began to scan around to find the beverages, the images around her still ever so slightly blurred as Lilah tried to focus herself, “Umm, you might just have to take the lead over there.”

Noah shrugged, “I’ve got water.” he said, lifting a bottle to show her, “And Chan’ll probably make me eat something when we get home.” he added, knowing it was true, and certainly a reason to avoid anything else now. “He loves to cook, I think, I think that’s half the reason he wants me to eat more.” he added. It was what he tried to convince himself of, anyway. Chandler worried too much, and he wanted people to cook for. There wasn’t really a problem.

“Okay,” Lilah hummed as she quickly placed the plate down, her arms going to cross over her chest. Focusing on the boy’s face, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly as she listened to him. A part of her began to worry, without knowing detail she knew something was wrong. Who knew exactly what apart from him but if she could find a way to help or at least find out enough to direct him towards help, she’d feel a whole lot less tense than she was feeling that moment.

Aleksi gave a small shrug, blushing slightly. “I’ve just … never exactly been a party person?” he admitted. To him it felt like something always went wrong at parties too, but he might just be reading too much into things. “And all the white … I mean, I know everyone’s wearing it, but it just… seems more like it makes everyone stand out then it makes you blend in.” he added, a little uncomfortable. He knew that it was probably good for him, to get out, do things. Not just spend all his free time mourning and obsession over caring for his sister, but he still felt awkward here.

Humming softly at his response, Lilah bobbed her head up and down in understanding as she listened to him speak. Her eyes turning back to the crowds of people, scanning their surroundings as she thought about what he was saying. Her lips pursed as she thought it all through before she went to respond, ensuring she was careful with her words as things normally got lost in translation on their journey from her head to her mouth, “That’s an interesting observation and not completely false,” She began, pausing to take in a deep breath, “But it’s an opportunity, I guess, to step into the shoes of a more confident you, no?”

Bree nodded, quickly pulling out her own phone, “Definitely! Can you put your number in?” she asked happily before grinning again at the compliment and twirling once to show off the dress again. “That actually sounds really good, you have good taste in drinks too!” she agreed before frowning slightly at the question, “I don’t … actually remember. Which is a shame, cause it was good.”

Pulling out her own phone from her clutch, she extended it out as she took the other woman’s phone in her own hands and making to type her number in. Grinning wide as she watched the girl twirl, waving her hand in slight dismissal at the comment sent her way, “I just know how to keep myself enjoying the party,” Lilah joked as she offered her new friend a reassuring smile and gentle nudge, “Oh well, I’m sure we’ll find out what it was somehow.”

“I think parties can be fun, but I prefer to watch from the sidelines rather than be in the thick of it.” He glanced at the people standing around them with a raised eyebrow. Things seemed to be getting consistently further from the refined event it was originally intended to be with each passing minute. and god if it wasn’t hilarious “You look good, though I don’t think I’ve seen you dancing tonight.”

Lilah hummed at his response, her eyes looking around the both of them as he spoke. Her shoulders rising in a shrug before she shot him a smile, “Thank you my dear, I had to try my hardest to fit in with this crowd,” She spoke graciously as she pointed over her shoulder before she let out an amused hum, “The music wasn’t right before and I didn’t have the right partner,” She mused, raising her brows at him as she felt her smile grow, “But that’s not a problem anymore.”

Jax had been following this piece of shit for several blocks. The man was behind with his payment, so Jax was about to give him a nice warning not to fuck with him, let alone anyone else. As a starter, he’d approached him, pretending everything was fine, only to bring him between two buildings when no one else was looking. His clenched fist served the guy a quick punch to the face, the knuckle duster doing twice the damage, if not worse. “Where’s my money?” he asked, and as soon as he didn’t get the response he wanted, his arm swung once again. Blood was dripping down the druggie’s face. Dude should’ve known better than to get high on his own supply, and Jax should’ve known better than to trust him.

With the other’s bloody hands on his face, he pushed him hard against the brick wall. The sound of a voice stealing his attention for a mere second. It wasn’t until he lay eyes on the girl that his eyes widened. “Who the fuck are you?” he spat out while pressing his forearm against the man’s throat. “Call the police and I’ll fucking kill you!” The sentence had dropped through his lips the moment her hand had dipped into her bag.

Her eyes narrowed at the assailant as his words processed through her ears. Lilah’s eyes trailed away from him despite the threat that was directed towards her until they landed on the body he was holding against the wall. She felt her fingers twitch at the top of her bag, letting the tips just graze the object she was reaching for before pulling it out and holding her hands out in his view to hopefully appease him, before taking a step forward. “Sweetheart I’m not afraid of you,” She finally responded softly as she looked back over at him noting how youthful he really was.

“So why don’t you let the poor guy go, he doesn’t exactly look entirely with it so that’s not such a fair fight,” She spoke, her steps towards the pair not faltering until she was only a short while away before crossing her arms in front of her with a small smirk on her face, “And then I’ll let you know who I am.” She knew there was two ways this could end but she doubted anything too bad would happen, she’d dealt with worse than scuffles in alleyways.

Noah shrugged lightly, “He worries too much.” he insisted before sipping at his drink. “But he’s not here!” he defended, drunk enough at this point to be much less stealthy about the matter then he usually was. “He’s still way over there, so I don’t need to eat anything.” he added confidently. It might be worth a bite or two of something to keep Chandler from worrying too much, but if Chandler wasn’t there, he didn’t have to bother.

A hum flowed lightly from her lips at his response, she knew something wasn’t quite right and yet she still didn’t want to pry. Lifting her small plate that still had a few bite sized snacks on it, taking one in between her own fingers before holding the plate out for him, “That’s true but with the amount of alcohol you’ve had I think you might benefit from some food.”

[cxptxinrivers-blog]

officerliambarrett‌:

Liam’s brain was on overdrive as he tried to figure out how to get himself out of the situation without offending the woman. She seemed perfectly nice and he was sure most people would be loving the attention, but he still felt nothing but awkward which only further confirmed his recent musings on that matter. His eyes widened a little when she kissed him he involuntarily stepped back slightly, “I’m just… not a dating person? Or a … dating-related-things person? Not, not with anybody I don’t think.” he managed to say. “It’s not you, really. You seem great. It’s me and I, ah, I mean that in the most serious possible way?”

The smile on Lilah’s lips didn’t fade as she stepped back, sober this would have had her all kinds of embarrassed but right now, she couldn’t quite grasp what just happened. Yet through all of the haze she would never go further than where she already was without explicit consent. A light giggle left her lips as she looked over at him, letting her arms drop off his shoulders, “Don’t you worry about it button,” She cooed softly, giving his arm a gentle pat before taking a step back herself, “It’s none of us sugar, why don’t we forget all this happened and grab a drink.” She offered kindly before stopping abruptly, “Of water for me.”

“That would be awesome!” Bree exclaimed, “I just hired an assistant manager so she could take over the bakery for the day and … that would be so awesome!” she said again, bouncing in place slightly in her excitement. “I’m so glad! I really wanted it to look nice!” she added before leaning over to hug the other woman, “Lilah, awesome! That’s such a gorgeous name. What are you drinking? I just had a cocktail somebody said was good.”

“We should exchange numbers so we can sort out the details,” She suggested, giggled lightly as she watched the woman bounce, suddenly feeling the excitement bubble inside her at the other’s joy, “Oh trust me you achieved above and beyond nice, absolutely stunning.” Lilah gushed, a burst of happiness flowing through her at the compliment, “I could definitely do with a Tom Collins right now. That sounds cool, what was it?”

It was amusing enough to just watch all the chaos and laugh his ass off at peoples’ drunken antics rather than joining in himself, and he’d settled for leaning against a wall with his arms folded, occasionally glancing at his watch to check the time. Chris was slightly startled when she landed in front of him, jolting back a step before regaining his balance as he recognized who it was. He couldn’t help but laugh at his own reaction after a second. “Well if it isn’t my favourite dancer. I didn’t know you were here tonight.”

She couldn’t stop the smile that formed on her lips, a chuckle following at his reaction, keenly watching him as he spoke. Her hands landed onto his crossed arms as she gave a shrug at his comment, “I would never pass up the opportunity to dress up and have a good dance,” She answered gently as she bounced on the balls of her feet twice, “Speaking of unexpected appearances, I didn’t expect you here either.”

charlotte gets in the car and waited as she typed her location before helping her with the seat belt. “okay, this is your place, is this right?,” she asks her, then brings her car to life, driving off the place. she didn’t speed up that much, knowing it wouldn’t help the fact that lilah was drunk. “it’s no problem really,” she glanced at her with a smile. “is there anything else you need? food? because i do get hungry whenever i drink a lot.”

Her movements were all languid as she allowed her head to hit the headrest, muttering a quick yes at the question before turning to look outside the window, the excitement weaning as fatigued started to fill her body. Yet she couldn’t help the smile that filled her face as she heard the comment Charlotte made had her quickly agreeing, “I actually would love some food now that you mention it,”

Person A is uncomfortable in the formal attire and was regretting the party from the start, Person B is trying to convince them that they look fine and should relax.

@cxptxinrivers

Aleksi had thought the party would be a good way to get his mind off of all that had happened lately. Karolin was spending the night with her best friend, whose parents Aleksi’s parents had trusted completely - and that took a lot - so he wouldn’t even have to worry about her. However, showing up dressed in all white formal attire made it hard for anyone to really blend into the background, even if everyone else was dressed the same way, it felt to Aleksi like everyone was drawing attention. That was never really his goal, even as he worked to overcome his shyness, he was still a wallflower at heart. “Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.” he muttered, tugging nervously at one of his sleeves.”

[cxptxinrivers-blog]

Lilah had spotted the discomfort on the brunet’s face when he had first crossed her line of sight but she chose not to make any comments about it. It was probably just someone uncomfortable at the volume of uninvited guests at the party. Yet she found herself situated beside him as he fiddled with his sleeves, only just catching his mutterings. Choosing to bite the bullet to face any potential snide comment she face, she turned to him softly posing her question,  “What was a bad idea?”

itsbreehenderson‌:

Bree shook her head, “Oh, come on. You’re gorgeous. I’m sure everyone here is jealous!” she exclaimed before beaming in excitement as the other promised to show her where she got her dress, “That would be amazing! Yes, you definitely have to show me! I can show you where I got mine too, if you want?” she added happily. “I don’t get to dress up like this that much, not with work, but this looked too cool to pass up.” she continued with a grin, completely thrilled to have made a new friend. Bree was always friendly, but she didn’t get to go out quite as much as she would like. “Do you want to go get another drink … oh! I don’t know your name yet. I’m Bree!”

She couldn’t help the joyful cheer that came from her lips at the compliment, quickly sending thanks the other girl’s way, “Oh yes please! We could make a whole day of it!” Lilah agreed, her head nodding at the words that followed. She knew very well what it was like to not get the opportunity to just dress up and have a little fun so she was all for it. “I feel you entirely, you smashed it out of the park though,” At the offer of another drink, she excitedly agreed, “Nice to meet you Bree, I’m Lilah!”
