dying to see how this one ends,

[maggielawrences]

It was one of the days that she decided to venture out of bed. But the vacant expression still wasn’t far from Maggie’s face. Curled up on a grassy patch that she found a block away from the Loft, she picked up shreds of grass only to chuck them aside. It was a childish task but it kept her distracted.

[dealerqueen-blog]

“What did the grass do to you?” Casey asked, walking toward Maggie and sitting on the grass next to her. She looked over at her before leaning back on the grass, “Need an ear?”

[tamara-hartley-blog-blog]

“Hey.” Tamara was finishing her shift, shrugging on a jacket before she faced the freezing cold night. “You good?”

[dealerqueen-blog]

Casey looked over toward the voice, nodding when she saw Tamara, "Yeah. I'm fine. Just... dealing with this." She looked at her, "How was the shift?"

[ginnysarver]

Ginny grinned when she heard Casey’s familiar voice, letting out a sigh of relief. She paused where she was, waiting for the brunette to catch up with her. “Thanks, Case,” she smiled softly, linking her arm with the other girl’s as she started walking towards the Hollow again. “Were you working tonight?” she asked, an eyebrow raised as she took another drag from her cigarette. She couldn’t remember seeing her at the Fairy tonight, but she could never be sure.

[dealerqueen-blog]

Adjusting to this job was a lot for Casey. She'd been doing it for a little bit now, but it was still so much for her. She didn't know anything about what she did. She had always thrived as a drug dealer, and now suddenly she didn't have that anymore. She shrugged as Ginny linked their arms, "No problem," She began walking with her, looking over at Ginny before looking straight ahead, "No, I was off... I was just wandering around. Trying to get used to all this... change."

[emmatiptons]

“My mother taught me to be polite.” Whether that had meant saying please and thank you when ordering a drink, she wasn’t sure, but it was a carry over. “Do you want something? I mean.. Can I buy you a drink?”

[dealerqueen-blog]

Casey nodded when Emma spoke, "Sounds like your mother's a smart woman," She said, leaning on the bar before shaking her head, "No, you don't have to do that. I'm fine. Just need to make it through the night without getting too sloppy."

[artfulathena]

“You okay?” Athena asked as she walked towards the Fairy. “Are they being extra handsy tonight?” She’d thought about grabbing a drink but if the patrons were being rude, she’d have to rethink that. At least there was always the Black Sheep.

[dealerqueen-blog]

Casey shrugged, looking over at the blonde, "I'm fine," She said, making herself smile, "They're only handsy if Mary pays you. Everyone else seems to be fine." She pushed off the wall, standing on her own feet instead of using the wall to support her, "So you should be fine too if you want a drink."

[ahopefulpippa]

Space was the tool that worked in most situations, but sometimes — sometimes didn’t know if it was the best method. As she saw Casey exit, she waited for a few beats before softly excusing herself to follow. She didn’t rush, didn’t try to catch up; she made her way to Casey at her own pace, and when she found the other girl, Pippa clasped her hands together.

“Casey? Are you alright?”

[dealerqueen-blog]

Dealing and crashing had been Casey's self destructive cycle. She'd already gone through it twice, and it had led her to where she was now. She knew she had to adjust to all of it, but that was easier said than done. She quickly pulled herself together when she heard Pippa's voice, and she plastered a smile on her face, "Yeah... I think," She bit her lip, "Just... adjusting."

[ginnysarver]

Lighting a cigarette as she left the Fairy, Ginny took a drag as she walked towards the Hollow. Feeling a chill, she drew her sweater around herself, pausing when she thought she heard the crunch of gravel behind her. “Hello?” Ginny called out, squinting in the dark as she looked around her. “Someone there?” She’d always tried not to think of herself as jumpy, but given the situation as late, she couldn’t quite help herself.

[dealerqueen-blog]

“Just me, Gin,” Casey said with a small smile. She made her way toward her friend, “Figured you shouldn’t be out here alone...” Ginny had always been a friend to Casey, but since everything changed they had relied on each other more and more. Casey knew she needed to be there for Ginny, just as much as she had needed Ginny.

[emmatiptons]

“A cosmopolitan, please and thank you.” Emma twirled a little on her stool, smiling at the bartender.  

[dealerqueen-blog]

“You always have the best manners...” Casey looked over at the other girl, “Has that been a forever thing?”

[dealerqueen-blog]

A quick dismissal was all it took before Casey made her way out of the Hollow away from the guy who seemed to think all the girls were call girls. Her shift was done for the night, and she didn’t want to be there any longer. She bit her lip and leaned against the wall of The Fairy, closing her eyes and trying to collect herself.

→ BEFORE

As far as Casey Queen was concerned, she had a great life with the Lost Boys. She had a roof over her head, food, protection. Even better was the makeshift family that she found there. She finally felt like she had a place where she belonged, with people who cared about her. She would spend nights out in alley’s selling dust with Lily, and she would spend her days with Chuck, laughing and fooling around and playing video games as if they didn’t have a care in the world. Everyone in the loft knew that if any couple was meant to make it, it would be Chuck and Casey. Unfortunately, they never got that chance; Chuck was killed in a job gone bad. Casey turned to dust to get by, using up more than she was selling. The a point came where she couldn’t even lift herself out of bed without doing a line. Finally, Peter turned her in to George, who sent her to a drug rehab outside of the city. After eight months, Casey returned hoping to prove herself and earn back the respect of her teammates with her future resting on her sobriety. If she’s was caught using again, she’d be out of the Lost Boys for good.

→ AFTER

The pain and bad memories the war brought was too much for Casey to take, and she coped with it the only way she knew how. She didn’t know how to handle things and the dust was the only thing she could think about. It made her stop feeling. It made her hurt less. She had the numbness she craved. She went back to dust, despite knowing the consequences and it wasn’t long before her using was found out. Casey didn’t get a third chance; she was out of the Lost Boys. She tried fending for herself, she tried traditional jobs, and she tried to get her own life set up but it was harder than expected. Casey had luckily gained friends in her time in Neverland, and she began crashing at the Hollow. She was surrounded by the Fairies, but she felt like she had lost that sense of family that had been so strong in the Lost Boys. Eventually, Casey was taken aside by Mary and offered a position within the Fairies. Though her stomach knotted at the idea of getting paid to have sex, she agreed to becoming an escort. She needed the feeling of family she had lost, a place to go… Casey may not have wanted to admit it, but she needed the Fairies.

[dealerqueen-blog]

“Just keep them coming,” Casey made herself comfortable at the bar, “I... need a distraction.”

[wendyclosed]

“A Batman theme birthday party is alright for a one year old, right? I mean, he’s not old enough to know what’s going on anyway, plus it’ll seem really cool to him once he’s fifteen…”

[dealerqueen-blog]

“Sounds like an awesome party.” Casey said with a shrug, “I mean, when the kid turns one, its more a party for the parents. Isn’t it?”

[slightlyintouch-blog-blog-deact]

“Hey, the girl got a free drink out of it. Someone got out of that event with something, so I say more points should be rewarded.”

[dealerqueen-blog]

“You’re stretching it a bit there.” Casey said with a shrug, “Points for effort though.”

[silvercarlton-blog]

“I remember you being less sassy, what happened?”

[dealerqueen-blog]

Casey shrugged slightly, “I’m sober. More observant.”

[maggielawrences]

Maggie relaxed a bit at the familiar face, placing a genuine albeit tired smile onto her face. She can’t say she’d really gotten the chance to speak with Casey properly, especially with all the things piling up. “Hey, C. Sorry.” Maggie piped up sheepishly as she offered a small wave. “Didn’t mean to snap. Just a long day.”

[dealerqueen-blog]

Casey relaxed as soon as Maggie did. She didn't like feeling like people didn't want her around, and she knew how tense things had been since she had gotten back. She just wanted to shake that feeling, and with Maggie... She thought that might be possible. "It's okay, I get it." She said with a nod, "Want to vent?"

[peterfxckingpan]

“I don’t know where you’re getting confused on this, to be honest.” Peter snapped, a little exasperated that he was having to go through his idea all over again.

“You get on my shoulders, we wear a really long coat and then we’re one giant person. Like, nine feet tall. We’ll be worshipped and feared.”

[dealerqueen-blog]

“Hey, I’m down.” Casey said with a grin. “I get to be a giant. It’s a lifelong dream.”

[unjollyroger]

"You can apologize to the lady, or I can make you," Tobias threatened, his eyes narrowed. He did have his occasional moments of chivalry. "I’ll let you decide."

[dealerqueen-blog]

“The lady can handle herself.” Casey responded immediately, looking up at the guy she had never seen before. That meant he was probably a Roger, and that immediately put Casey on edge. Especially after Chuck.
