“Please  take  me  with  you,”  Waverly  all  but  whined  out  at  the  fellow  actress,  not  wanting  to  be  left  to  her  own  devices  here.  “I  could  use  a  good  drink  and  some  fun  conversation.  If  I  have  to  hear  about  a  possible  strike  one  more  time  I  may  lose  it.”

“Do  we  actually  need  that  elephant  tranquilizer  now?”  Micah  called  from  his  place  on  the  leather  couch  in  the  studio,  not  really  moving  when  the  other  man  joined  him.  “I  have  my  camera  charged  up  for  this  occasion.”

A  sentiment  that  Caspian  could  in  fact  get  behind,  the  blonde  male  nodded  his  head  in  agreement.  “I  feel  like  I  never  know  what’s  going  on  and  I’ve  turned  out  just  fine  that  way.”

Her  nuisance  of  a  brain  refusing  to  rest  in  the  light  of  all  that  was  going  on,  Maggie  had  already  been  at  the  coffee  shop  long  before  she  had  texted  him  to  meet  her  if  he  was  free.  Part  of  her  was  intrigued  by  him,  wanting  to  know  why  his  people  thought  a  fake  relationship  would  fix  all  his  problems  in  the  first  place.  Even  more  so  as  to  why  they  thought  she  was  the  perfect  girl  to  do  so.  Eyes  trained  on  him  as  he  sat  down,  always  analyzing  the  world  around  her,  she  felt  her  own  breath  leave  her  as  he  finally  seemed  to  relax  around  her.  Nervousness  she  didn’t  even  realize  she  possessed  until  now.  “It  sounds  like  you  want  me  to  ask  you  the  '50  questions  on  how  to  make  someone  fall  in  love  with  me',”  she  teased  right  back,  tapping  her  fingertips  on  the  notebook  in  front  of  her.  “Oh  we’re  absolutely  doing  those  ‘is  my  crush  compatible  with  me’  quizzes  found  in  teen  magazines,”  her  eyes  hiding  playfulness  behind  them.  “I  just  don’t  know  anything  about  you  and  I’m  a  terrible  actress.  I  figure  if  I’m  supposed  to  be  madly  in  love  with  you  I  should  know  something  about  you  other  than  your  name.”

knows   he   should   have   left   the   door   vacant   ,   should   have   pretended   to   be   knocked   the   fuck   out   in   his   bed   so   that   he   could   avoid   this   inevitable   day   of   reckoning   .   yes   ,   he   was   that   dramatic   .   but   if   freya   could   be   dramatic   ,   then   so   could   kels   .   such   a   super   philosophy   only   worked   within   the   walls   of   his   own   mind   ,   but   he   still   answered   the   door   ,   didn’t   he   ?   “   i   know   you   didn’t   bring   a   waffle   maker   here   just   to   prove   a   point   .   ”   door   is   shut   as   she   enters   ,   urge   to   roll   his   eyes   present   as   ever   while   kels   lifts   a   hand   to   run   through   his   hair   briefly   .   “   just   the   regular   kind   .   what   other   kinds   are   there   ?   ”

When  her  mind  was  put  to  something  there  was  little  anyone  could  do  to  change  it.  So  hearing  that  he  thought  that  frozen  waffles  were  as  good  as  the  real  thing  had  lingered  in  the  back  of  her  head  for  weeks.  Lucky  for  him  she  had  been  distracted  with  matters  that  didn’t  involve  him  and  Kels  could  escape  for  a  bit.  But  not  now!  Now  she  was  going  to  prove  her  thesis  to  him  once  and  for  all.  “Yes,  I  brought  a  waffle  maker.  How  else  would  I  make  waffles  without  one?”  Head  tilted  in  confusion  at  the  very  obvious  statement  made.  “I  could  put  blueberries  or  chocolate  chips  in  them!  Like  pancakes  with  stuff  in  them!  I  brought  all  the  stuff  so  you  don’t  even  have  to  lift  a  finger.”  As  long  as  he  didn’t  mind  her  turning  his  kitchen  into  an  explosion  in  the  process.

he tried to hide the exorbitant grin that had taken over his face , but absolutely failed . he really hadn't expected emilia to say yes . and for once he was going to give into himself and let it happen . he'd pretend for one night that he and emilia existed in a world where they could be together . he took her hand and brought her out to the dance floor with him , bringing her in close to dance with . " i've missed you . " he whispered to her , letting the alcohol cloud his better judgement .

One  day  she  would  stop  giving  in  to  the  back  and  forth  between  them.  Just  when  she  thought  she  had  escaped  it,  Luca  managed  to  worm  his  way  right  back  in.  Dancing  wouldn’t  hurt,  she  promised  herself,  as  long  as  she  didn’t  let  him  convince  her  to  go  home  with  him  everything  else  could  be  managed  later.  She  could  put  herself  back  together  after  this.  “Did  you  really?”  Her  own  words  uttered  in  disbelief,  body  melting  against  his  own  as  they  fell  into  their  own  little  world. " I missed you , too. "

" lila ! " he was always joyous to see one of his closest friends , another little sister type to him . that was until he realised just what state she was in , arm wrapped around her , he brought her closer to his side , reaching down to pull her skirt down to protect her modesty . deciding that wasn't enough , he pulled his jacket off to wrap it around her . " shots of water , sure . " he told her . " did maiya bring you here by any chance ? " he asked . the two girls would be the death of him .

[frcstdfae]

Having  lost  Maiya  in  the  crowd  to  a  pretty  girl  that  turned  the  heiress’s  head,  Lila  was  so  pleased  to  find  Oliver  hanging  around.  Even  though  their  relationship  was  strained  at  first,  it  didn’t  take  long  for  him  to  become  like  the  older  brother  she  had  always  wanted.  Despite  the  groan  escaping  her  as  he  tried  to  cover  up  her  outfit.  “Come  on,  Ollie,  this  is  tame  compared  to  my  usual  fits.  Also,  we  are  taking  tequila  shots,  you’re  not  pussying  out  on  me  now.”  Drunken  giggles  erupted  from  her  lips  at  the  mention  of  the  other  half,  confirming  his  own  suspicions  without  verbal  confirmation.

attitude was arya's thing . that and just messing with people for fun . if you were in her inner circle , she was sweet as pie . but anyone outside of it was free game . it probably wasn't fair to fuck with freya . she was the one who'd royally fucked the relationship and freya over in the first place . but arya had never coped well with guilt . it made her worse if that was even possible . " oh cute honey , that you think i was the one who'd lost anything with the breakup . who left who again ? " low blow and she knew it , but she said her words to sting . " i wouldn't trust your pointers ... they couldn't keep me around could they ? " another low blow . freya had once been part of arya's inner circle . she had been sweet with her then . and really nothing should've changed . after all it was all arya's own doing that she wasn't part of that anymore .

[frcstdfae]

If  she  had  been  in  a  better  mental  state  upon  walking  into  that  bar  she  would  have  turned  around  the  moment  Arya  approached  her.  There  was  little  to  no  reason  she  had  wanted  to  sleep  that  woman  ever  again.  At  least  the  shots  fired  back  and  forth  were  helping  her  forget  the  more  hurtful  things  being  thrown  her  way  right  now.  “And  yet  here  you  are,  offended  that  I  don’t  care  if  you  speak  to  me  again.  How  sad  is  it  to  be  low  status  around  here?  Haven’t  seen  your  designs  in  a  show  in  a  while.  Don’t  worry,  if  you  want  the  clout  again  all  you  have  to  do  is  ask.”  Not  that  Freya  was  even  sure  of  that.  She  made  it  her  mission  in  life  to  avoid  anything  that  had  to  do  with  her.  “Please,  you  can  pretend  all  you  want  that  I  was  a  shitty  girlfriend  who  did  nothing  but  drag  down  your  independence  but  you  can’t  hide  the  fact  that  the  one  thing  we  both  know  I’m  good  at  is  between  the  sheets. That's one thing I get no complaints about."

" i will be incredibly mad and it'll take a cream soda to cheer me up again . " she told her , not a real ounce of anger in her voice . it'd take something very serious and drastic for amelia to ever really be mad at maggie . missing a movie wasn't something she'd fault her for . " more than anything though , i'll feel sorry for your ears and them not having been blessed by my dope ass singing . " she frowned . " mags are you kidding ? you're absolutely gonna get published and you're gonna be incredible too . " she told her with absolutely no doubt at all that it was gonna happen . " i'd love a snippet , absolutely ! and i cannot wait to read the whole thing when it finally is published ! "

“I’m  sorry!”  Maggie  whined,  fully  prepared  to  pay  the  piper  for  being  a  bad  friend  so  far.  It  wasn’t  that  she  meant  to  not  see  it,  she  just  hadn’t  much  time  to  do  anything.  It  was  a  bad  excuse  but  the  only  one  Maggie  could  offer  at  this  time.  “I’ll  buy  you  all  the  cream  sodas.  Then  I  will  get  to  hear  your  ‘dope’  singing  as  you  so  delicately  put  it.”  Relieved  to  see  that  her  friend  wasn’t  upset  with  her,  Maggie  made  a  mental  note  to  go  watch  it  as  soon  as  she  had  the  time  open  up.  “I  know,  I  know,  it’s  already  guaranteed  to  be  published  but  not  that  it’ll  be  a  hit.  But  I  won’t  dwell  on  that  right  now.  Tell  me  what’s  been  up  with  you!”

nico blushed slightly at that . " yeah , if i ever am dominating control of the movies please just tell me off . i never mean to i'm just so passionate about it . " he would always and forever feel like the av geek . even if he was a multi - award winning director now . " no they'll get the hint , they just like to be assholes sometimes . " his friends were the absolute opposite of him . " do you wanna exchange numbers ? you know ... just so it doesn't all have to go through our agents anymore ? "

“Hey,  we  all  know  our  own  crafts.  There’s  nothing  wrong  with  that.  Plus,  I  could  always  use  a  little  more  cinema  culture  in  my  life,”  Teddy  assured  him,  not  wanting  the  other  man  to  feel  bad  about  it.  It  would  be  like  him  going  on  and  on  about  different  games  he  liked  to  play  –  a  trait  he  was  sure  he  possessed  but  had  yet  to  fully  expose  to  the  man  before  him.  “Yeah  we  can  do  that.  Gimme  your  phone.”  Always  down  to  have  someone  else  to  hang  with,  feeling  lonely  ever  since  Ronan  moved  out  and  he  was  redoing  the  guest  room  into  a  filming  studio,  it  would  help  to  have  someone  to  help  keep  him  sane  during  the  process.

oliver knew this was all his fault . but he also knew that he'd rather her hate him and be alive than to love him and die for it . she deserved so much better than he could give her . so he'd forever have to sit back and let her go . he'd simply decided he wasn't meant for love or any real happiness . instead he'd help the people around him that he cared about find their own happiness . " thank you . " he said with a small nod of his head . resisting the urge to reach out and take her hand , provide her with the explanation she deserved , the truth . no more secrets . that would be the dream . but he couldn't . " what ? wow , magpie that's amazing i'm so happy for you ! when are you gonna publish it ? " he asked , old nickname falling past his lips without permission , a habit that was hard to break . he wanted to give her a tight cuddle , and so much more that he'd given up any rights to the day he'd walked away . " you deserve the best , i'm so glad you've done it . i'll still be the first to buy a copy . like i promised . "

Part  of  Maggie  wasn’t  surprised  by  Oliver  coming  up  to  speak  to  her,  knowing  that  it  had  never  been  in  his  nature  to  be  cruel.  At  least,  she  hadn’t  thought  so  before  things  ended  with  them.  It  was  part  of  the  reason  she  had  been  drawn  to  him  in  the  first  place.  So  when  she  allowed  herself  to  be  led  away  from  the  crowds,  Maggie’s  entire  body  relaxed,  only  briefly,  before  she  put  back  up  her  guard  around  him.  Magpie,  the  nickname  struck  a  chord  within  her  that  she  hadn’t  realized  was  still  there  and  her  lips  pursed  as  she  calculated  a  reply  to  him.  “Yeah,  within  the  next  couple  of  months  it  should  be  published.  I’m  getting  ready  to  send  in  the  final  edits.  I  took  a  night  off  for  this  event  –  my  agent  insisted  and  it  was  one  I  could  stomach.”  Hands  folded  in  front  of  her  as  a  barrier,  Maggie  reasoned  with  herself  that  they  were  being  civil  and  that  was  something  she  could  manage.  Yet,  without  warning,  the  words  slipped  from  her  lips  that  she  had  been  wondering  about  since  he  walked  up  to  her.  “I’m  not  going  to  lie,  Oliver,  I’m  a  little  confused  as  to  why  you  wanted  to  speak  with  me  at  all.”

not what she'd planned to be entertaining herself with today , but she couldn't exactly say no. after all , it was her turn to deliver on a favour he's asking for , it's bypassed her chance every other time. she's sure he's keeping a tally somewhere. she didn't like she was his final option , something she'd pick apart later on in the day , possibly when the camera was rolling. " i'm offended that you thought i wasn't coming , what kind of monster do you think i am ? " she's going to need a large glass of wine to tolerate this session , but she wouldn't disappoint him last minute. " you're already giving me a headache , we can discuss the terms of service later. remind me what i'm supposed to do ? " she's certainly someone to keep her cards to her chest , he wouldn't get to know the plans she'd develop for his returning favour just yet.

His  relationship  with  Dahlia  was  not  one  he  would  necessarily  call  a  happy  one.  She  often  spent  her  time  making  his  life  as  complicated  as  possible,  so  when  he  asked  her  if  she  wanted  to  be  in  a  stream  he  was  surprised  that  she  showed.  Maybe  there  was  more  to  her  than  he  originally  anticipated.  “You  may  have  found  something  better  to  do.  I  wouldn’t  have  blamed  you,”  he  muttered  more  to  himself  than  to  answer  her  question.  Shrugging  it  away,  Teddy  moved  through  the  room  until  he  got  to  the  bar.  “I’ll  at  least  let  you  drink  so  you  can  have  some  fun  with  it.  I  do  appreciate  you  helping  me  out.”  A  moment  of  sincerity  leaving  him  as  he  spoke.  He  would  deny  he  ever  was  nice  if  she  mentioned  it  to  someone  else.

stretched onto tip toes to reach the opening of the food truck , she's able to grab her own order without drawing much attention from other customers , laminated brow perks up to respond to her dancer partner's inquisition. " what kind of petty crime ? it's gotta be believable , do you think she'd have any albis ? surely , she doesn't run in big circles or any for that matter. " look of distaste touches features , their coach was the last person either of them would likely save from a burning building at this point. mind had been elsewhere lately but she owed it to gideon to attempt at engaging in a conversation that's not about her life falling apart.

It  seemed  like  all  Gideon  was  doing  as  of  late  was  distracting  his  female  friends  from  the  trauma  that  seemed  to  be  blooming  around  every  corner.  It  had  become  a  full  time  gig  as  far  as  he  was  concerned.  Distracting  Flo  came  as  naturally  as  dancing  with  her  and  his  topic  for  the  day  was  their  blasted  coach.  At  least  torturing  Zoya  would  bring  a  smile  to  her  face.  “I  think  i'm  traumatized  by  the  idea  that  she  may  have  a  life  other  than  looming  in  a  corner  contemplating  our  demise.”  An  exaggerated  shudder  following  his  statement  before  he  took  a  bite  of  his  burrito.  “I  do  think  we  could  frame  her  though,  it  should  be  pretty  easy.  I’ve  seen  her  enter  her  phone  passcode.”

this was stupid , she'd hit a quarter life crisis for certain , why'd it taken so long to reveal mother's character was never altered after the loss of pete ? she'd always been some kind of monster. the two were somewhat strangers , mutually connected through other parties such as her boyfriend and his aunt. aware of one another's existence but not knowing the person behind many facades. " uh , yeah. flo , florence , flossie , whatever really. " never had she'd experience this level of anxiety , certain she was about to come across insane. " you might have to bare with me , it's going to sound crazy and i'm still wrapping my own head around it all. . . but my brother , dylan , made us do a dna test together for fun and your name came up as a relation in my results. " scenic route for context setting.

While  he  had  known  Flo  in  passing  for  ages,  since  her  relationship  with  his  aunt,  he  had  never  anticipated  her  reaching  out  to  speak  with  him.  They  may  have  had  people  in  common,  it  wasn’t  enough  for  Micah  to  truly  connect  to  her  in  a  way  that  warranted  a  coffee  exchange.  “Uh,  okay,  I  can  just  call  you  Flo?  Florence  seems  too  formal.”  At  least  he  assumed  so,  since  she  named  about  three  different  ways  to  refer  to  her.  He  let  her  continue  to  get  out  what  she  needed  to,  realizing  that  the  hit  was  likely  connected  to  his  own  DNA  being  in  the  system  from  the  time  period  that  he  had  been  searching  for  his  nameless  father.  “Oh  god,  please  tell  me  you’re  not  related  to  us  on  our  mom’s  side.  I  don’t  want  to  deal  with  the  amount  of  family  therapy  Issy  is  going  to  have  to  go  through  if  that’s  the  case.”

               the  absence  of  yasmin  hit  hard  for  many  individuals,  including  himself,  despite  them  not  being  as  close  prior  to  as  they  are  now.  yasmin  was  always  an  individual  that  elijah  found  themselves  protective  over,  wanting  to  make  sure  she  felt  safe  and  secure  when  out  and  having  fun  —  willing  to  stand  in  a  corner  and  forego  his  own  adventures  for  the  night  to  make  sure  she  got  into  a  safe  vehicle  and  was  in  her  own  bed  by  the  time  sunrise  hit.  “  might  need  the  voice  memo,  your  stern  voice  gives  me  the  fuckin’  chills.  ”  not  a  total  lie,  both  levy  women  caused  elijah  to  second  guess  many  of  their  choices,  making  him  apologize  without  a  moment  of  hesitation  if  provided  a  specific  look.  “  okay  —  so  maybe  not  here,  but  if  you  finish  that  drink,  we  could  go  get  some  street  tacos  and  not  have  to  listen  to  the  horrific  karaoke  they’re  setting  up.  ”

[frcstdfae]

“I  can  be  stern  when  I  need  to  be,”  Yasmin’s  lips  forming  a  pout  at  the  very  thought.  It  wasn’t  something  that  came  often,  her  current  mindset  was  to  enjoy  life  as  it  came  to  her  and  not  think  about  all  the  terrible  things  that  had  happened  to  her.  “And  I  will  be  for  my  sister.  She  needs  protecting,  after  all.”  Yasmin  had  always  been  the  baby  of  the  family,  Gaia  the  closest  to  her  in  age,  but  recently  it  felt  as  though  she  had  been  aged  a  decade  in  the  last  year  and  everything  inside  of  her  just  wanted  to  go  back  to  normal.  “I  am  only  agreeing  because  you  mentioned  street  tacos,”  head  tilted  back  so  she  could  down  the  rest  of  her  drink  before  standing  and  waiting  for  him.  “Do  we  even  have  a  food  truck  nearby?”

               tongue  darts  out  to  coat  their  lips,  attempting  to  keep  a  calm  demeanor  rather  than  allowing  every  atom  of  fear  and  anxiety  take  hold.  despite  neither  of  the  two  having  a  closely  bonded  friendship  to  one  another,  there  is  a  common  denominator  that  provides  elijah  with  some  sense  of  safety  and  assurance  that  there  would  be  help  without  judgment.  “  at  all.  ”  the  silence  that  filled  their  apartment  was  enough  to  drive  them  mad,  cause  him  to  take  endless  walks  to  just  fill  the  ringing  in  their  ears,  but  never  prod  into  the  business  of  his  girlfriend.  clearly  suffering  from  a  trauma  large  enough  to  impale  her  ability  to  explain  herself,  he’s  thankful  she’s  been  home  and  in  bed,  rather  than  rushing  out  to  drink  and  get  stoned  as  previous  weeks  had  been  dedicated  to.  “  weeks?  going  close  to  a  month,  i  think?  it  wasn’t  always  silence,  she  would  stutter  and  get  out  short  answers  but  now  it’s  just  —  it’s  nothing.  ”  hands  grip  onto  each  other,  resting  on  his  lap  where  a  single  leg  continues  to  bounce.  “  i  —  is  that  too  much?  i  don’t   think  she’s  doing  anything  dangerous,  i  just  —  fuck  man.  something  happened  but  i  can’t  get  through  to  her  to  talk  to  me.  ”

[frcstdfae]

Knowing  there  was  little  they  could  do  to  support  her,  Felix  figured  his  job  could  be  to  help  Elijah  come  up  with  a  way  to  support  her  through  this.  His  attention  dedicated  to  listening  to  him  explain,  only  taking  his  gaze  away  to  take  a  sip  of  his  drink.  “Okay,  so  she  started  out  just  skipping  words  and  then  went  fully  mute?  That’s  gotta  be  a  mental  block  somewhere,  right?”  But  what  would  be  big  enough  to  cause  it.  “She  didn’t  even  go  mute  when  she  thought  Yasmin  was,  ya  know,  so  it’s  gotta  be  really  bad  to  fully  cause  her  to  shut  down.”  He  did  like  to  hear  that  she  wasn’t  back  to  using  drugs.  That  was  progress.  “Maybe  she  needs  to  talk  to  someone,  like  a  professional.”
