[ EZRA BEST. 38. MALE. HE/HIM] is here! They’ve lived in Silver Lake for [ FOUR MONTHS ] and are originally from [ COLUMBUS,OHIO ]. They are a [ NURSE ] and in their downtime love [ FAMILY TIME ] and [ PLAYING FORTNITE ]. They look a lot like [ MATT CZUCHRY ] and live [ ON REDCLIFF ST ]

Although Ezra’s upbringing was strict and in the hands of God, he had the best childhood he could have imagined. He can always remember his mother, Abel, teaching him how to bake cookies and they’d always read passages from the bible together every Sunday with church. Ezra attended Worthington Christian School and graduated May 2000. After then, he was lucky enough to land a job with the church, and set up groups for youngsters before he decided that nursing would be his career of choice. Ezra loved nothing more then to help others and figured that this was his calling. In 2004 Ezra qualified as a registered nurse and kick-started his career with Mount Sinai Hospital, working within their Emergency Department. Although the work load was pressurized and stressful, Ezra absolutely loved his profession and planned on working his way up to Consultancy. However, his plan came to a hault when he met Heather.

In February 2019, Ezra met with an old friend of his, Heather, and she blew him away within the first few seconds of their interaction. He’d known Heather through a mutual friend of theirs but had never had the chance to get to know one another. Ezra was smitten. After a month of chasing, the nurse finally swept the love of his life off of her feet and into his arms. There was nothing that could possibly jeopardize their relationship, but on the 19th August 2019, Heather dropped a huge bombshell. She was four weeks pregnant. How could this be? Why hadn’t they been safe? Ezra was in shock and absolutely terrified.

However, he’d finally come to terms with the fact he was due to become a father as Heather fell into her third trimester. This was happening.

On April 12th 2020, the world welcomed their sweet daughter - Easter Tallulah Best. It was love at first sight. How incredible.

Trying to learn how to parent was difficult, others would judge you and tell you how to do things correctly, it was confusing and made Ezra incredibly doubtful, but to make matters even worse, Heather made it known that she needed to move to Silverlake in order to save her aesthetics clinic. Shit. Ezra knew his notice period would be a long stretch and unfortunately, he was without his family for two months while readying to leave his home in New York City.

But in June 2020, Ezra finally settled in Redcliff Street of Silverlake City.

Jimmy remembered it well. All three rounds of teething with his children had been difficult: late nights, days without sleeping, pulling your hair out at the sound of the constant crying. There was, however, one thing Jimmy found that tended to work, but he wasn’t sure how much Ezra would like it.

“Scotch,” he told Ezra casually, sipping on his coffee. “Dip her pacifier in a glass of scotch. Or rub it on her gums. The alcohol content helps numb their gums a lot better than teething gel from my experience.” Jimmy looked back down at Easter, reaching out to rub the tip of his index finger against one of her rosy, chubby cheeks. “I can’t wait to have the teething phase all over again. You know if you want a few hours to sleep I’m happy to take her for you?”

“Scotch?” Ezra repeated almost immediately. The only source of alcohol they had stored in the house was the odd bottle of wine that Heather would drink, and to be quite honest, rubbing alcohol onto Easter’s gums didn’t sound all that appealing to the nurse. “I’m not so sure about that, man. Alcohol isn’t something we usually have available at home.” But who knows.. maybe Ezra will reach a certain point where he will be willing to try anything. 

Did Jimmy just casually announce that he was looking forward to experiencing parenthood again? Or had Ezra completely misheard him? His glance shot up to meet with the other’s in a look of shock, his brows suddenly pulled together. “Are you expecting?” Ezra had only seen a glimpse of Jimmy’s new relationship through his instagram feed, but with his busy life schedule, it was rare he really caught up with his new friends. Still, who was Ezra to judge? Heather had fallen pregnant within the first month of their relationship. 

It was an incredibly nice offer from Jimmy to take Easter off of his hands for a couple of hours, but Ezra was reluctant to give in. “I appreciate the offer, Jimmy, but I’m not one to fob my daughter off so I can get some rest. I’ll just sleep when she goes down for her nap a little later on...”

With everything that had been taking place in her life lately, being optimistic was the last thing in Ophelia’s mind. Frankly, the girl walked around like she was about to punch anyone in the face because that what she wanted to do, and she wasn’t good at hiding her emotions. “Yeah, my daughter.” the blonde explained, “Then maybe you should go have that. I’m still going to be bitter and have coffee, with some whiskey in it.” 

“Does your daughter have a name? How old is she?” Ezra asked with interest. Talking about babies and children seemed to be a new hobby for the nurse. He’d proudly show off Easter to everyone and anyone who’d listen. “My daughters seven months.. and to be quite honest.. she’s the most beautiful little human being I’ve ever had the fortune to lay my eyes on. I know it’s incredibly biased but.. it’s true.” There was definitely something he couldn’t quite work out with this young female, however, he wouldn’t let her abrupt attitude put a dampener on his late night coffee. “I’ll head off once I’ve ready to. It looks like you could use some company.”

Coffee was absolutely needed today. Holland hadn’t been able to sleep, complaining about his snoring, and had woken Jimmy up in the middle of the night. Again. After that, he’d struggled to get back to sleep again which meant he absolutely needed caffeine more than ever before. It seemed he wasn’t the only one.

Jimmy had spotted Ezra in the queue for coffee, and tried to get his attention but hadn’t seemed to be able to. He didn’t quite remember how they became such good friends, but here they were a few months down the line. It didn’t help that Jimmy was absolutely in love with Ezra’s little girl and seeing her, despite the crying, only made him more excited for the newest addition to the Shore family. 

He’d got his coffee before Ezra, but stopped to add too much sugar to his coffee before heading out, going to grab the door but Ezra beat him to it. 

“Ezra, hey,” Jimmy smiled, coffee in hand, before he looked down at Easter. He leaned down a little to meet the tot’s eyeline, and although she wasn’t looking at or listening to him, he still spoke to her.

“Hello sweetheart, aren’t you a grumpy girl today?” He cooed with a little pout before straightening up. “Everything okay?”

Hearing his name being called, Ezra glanced over his shoulder to be met with a very sympathetic looking Jimmy Shore. In one way, he was relieved to see the man but, in another, he just wanted to get back home without any interruption. It was unusual for the nurse to feel so stressed, but maybe these long shifts and lack of sleep was really starting to take it’s toll. Ezra offered Jimmy a warm smile, before exhaling a sigh when questioned if everything was okay. “You know how it is, man.. Easter’s teething and.. no matter how many times I put teething gel onto her gums or hand her a teething ring that we’ve placed into the freezer, nothing is working for her today. I’m exhausted.” He informed, though really disliked surrendering to his true emotion. Ezra hated letting other’s know how tired he was. 

As she was being cooed over and spoken to, Easter’s cries slowed to more of a sob as she finally laid eyes on Jimmy, and though she was a little more quiet for a few seconds, she soon burst into tears again. 

“You’ve had kids, man. How’d you handle this stage?” Ezra asked as he soothed a hand over his daughter’s head and tried once more with her pacifier.

Aspen sighed and slid into the seat beside the guy. “Well that just says everything about this night is going to be then isn’t it..”  running a hand through her dark locks. “Lemonade boring when all I need is one night to just.. go a little crazy.” she couldn’t believe it - the first night she decided to brave being a social, single girl and she was met with the plain-Janess of something like lemonade, not that she was going to hit on the first guy she saw, she had was more class than that. But to be met with something so simple straight out the gate. Didn’t give her any faith as to how the night would end.

“Sorry.. That came out so blunt. Maybe I should start with a soda.. Clear my head.” giving him a little smile. “Sorry to have bothered you..”

It wasn’t unusual for other’s to comment on Ezra’s lack of drinking habits, though he was taking back by this strangers remarks. A glass of lemonade might be boring to some, but for Ezra, it was refreshing and light - What was so fun about becoming extremely intoxicated any way? “You’re looking for a night of craziness? May I ask why?” The nurse asked, before offering the girl a slight nod as he accepted her apology. “No offense taken, it’s okay. I understand that a lot of people look for a care-free kind of night but, you’ll only do something that you regret. Can I get you a soda?”

Favorite people in town? Anyone you want to get to know?

“Considering I only moved into Silverlake four, nearly five months ago, I do have a few I have grown rather fond of. Does my beautiful girlfriend Heather count too? But in terms of friendships, I really value Noah, Mila, Aaron and Jimmy. Thanks for welcoming me, guys.”

Do you want more kids?

“If God thinks that I’m destined to be more of a father then a workaholic then, sure. But.. I don’t think I’d purposefully try for another child.”

“look at you, a man who has got his life together.” the dark haired boy chuckled, nimble fingers fumbling to remove the plastic coffee lid. aroma from the hot drink wafted upwards.it would cool a lot faster like this. “a baby and you work in the ER, the exhaustion is understandable. how you manage to juggle all of that, i’ll never understand. when left to my own devices i lived solely off of hot cheetos and protein shakes for like, 2 and a half months, so kudos to you.” a short laugh followed.

pulling out two napkins from the stack that he’d grabbed, aaron divided out the questionable donut, listening to the other speak. “gee, you’re like a character out of a nicholas sparks book, handsome and selfless. gross…” he admitted after hearing the other’s reply, almost wanting to roll his eyes playfully. “well,” the boy started, pushing the half donut towards the other. “i basically make video games,” which was the long story short in the explanation of what he actually did. “hardly holds up to your superhero qualities. i just give females everywhere a reason to get mad at their male counterparts.” shrugging the dark haired boy lifted the donut up to his nose, giving it a quick sniff. it was sweet with a weird, kind-of cheesy undertone which was surprising for something that held no diary. “we’re doing this on the count of three,” he told the other, waiting for him to grab his half. there was no way he was going first.

Ezra dipped his head slightly as Aaron spoke of having his life together. Funnily enough, a family life wasn’t what he’d always had planned. A relationship had been far in his thoughts before he’d met Heather. Ezra had always wanted to climb the career ladder and accepted the fact he’d probably live alone for the rest of his life, but God had swung him a massive curve ball. “If we’re being honest, man.. I don’t know how I juggle half of what I do either. I just.. Do it.” He shrugged. “But I can’t comment much on your hot cheeto diet. I’m sure my body is solely made up of coffee and redbull.” Ezra laughed. 

He then watched as Aaron started to prepare their quest, pulling one napkin forwards before thanking the other for the piece of donut they’d divided between them. “Video games.. That’s interesting. I used to play a lot of fortnite back in New York.” Ezra informed and proceeded to pick up his donut half. He daren’t sniff the food again, though he was starting to grow curious of it’s taste. “I always think, if you know you’re dating someone who plays video games, then expect them to be playing for hours on end. You know? Whose counting?” He then asked, bringing the donut closer towards his mouth.

Almost every day (if he wasn’t working a day shift) Ezra would take Easter on a stroll out to their local coffee house and back again. It was always healthy to breath fresh air into your lungs and it meant that Heather could have an hour or so for herself at home, but today was so different. Easter had not stopped crying due to her teething and Ezra was so exhausted after deciding to work a straight forty eight hour shift in the emergency department at the hospital, that he was feeling rather stressed. He’d tried everything with his daughter but nothing was working. 

He watched as his coffee order was slid across the counter with relief, now eager to escape the crowd of other caffeine addicts. Thankfully, other’s gave way to Ezra with his daughter strapped onto his front in a baby carrier, though as he went to exit, another body was also walking in. He politely held the door open for the man and offered them a tired smile, before glancing down towards Easter who was still sobbing. “Please.. stop crying.” Ezra pleaded.

Mila: Yeah. she also has a macbook for school too. she had more than I have... to conduct actual business.

Mila: come on old man, keep up with the times!

Mila: just quietly I hate it.

Ezra: ...Wow.

Ezra: We still use pen and paper in the hospital for a lot, although we record vitals on iPods now. It's crazy but, it works.

Ezra: Sometimes I feel like I'm born into the wrong generation. I know I see the world differently to most thirty eight year olds.

Noah: "Sure. But, I will need to look at my schedule before we arrange on any sort of date" Ew 🤢🤢🤢

Noah: God, sometimes I forget you're like an actual adult grown man. That's fine, check your schedule and get back to me.

Noah: Yes!! Wimpy, that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable and very sweet but it's still wimpy.

Noah: OMG you know what's wimpy but also fun, horseback riding. now that is something i should ask him to do with me! thoughts? opinions??

Ezra: You know how hard it is for me to juggle work and home life.. and social arrangements, apparently.

Ezra: Sure, horseback riding sounds fun. Suggest that to him? I think it's a good idea.
