I FEEL IT ALL.

WHO: @hannahgrvce​ ! WHEN: unsure ! substances, no power, & out of control tubers will do that to ya ! WHERE: inside the event… a quiet corner !

Well… the night certainly wasn’t going to plan that was for sure. What had started as a surprisingly fun and festive evening had deteriorated rather quickly for the eldest Everly sibling. With no cell phone capabilities, not only was Forrest unable to get in touch with his younger sibling and father but also unable to call any sort of medical help. Taking to the corner of the rather large event space, Forrest did what he could to not think about the pain as he lay waiting for Emilia to return with some sort of semblance of first aid materials. 

Head rolling to the side, his eyes register an friendly face. He forces something that he hopes looks like a smile and tries his best to wave her over. Forrest knows from personal experience that mentality can help to some degree with pain management. Surely a chat with a friend could be just that for him, right?  ❝ Hey, Hannah. You hanging in there alright? ❞ 

—

Had Hannah been in a more sober state of mind, the current no power, no cell reception situation would have had her in a panic. But her foresight, smoking with Jack, had been a happy mistake. The single mother was someone who was always in control, always ready for situations like this, always responsible, but tonight- tonight with no worries, responsibilities, a room upstairs and Niko with Alec’s parents, Hannah could let loose. Instead of worrying, the brunette had wrapped herself in a table cloth to keep warm and wandered around the growingly crowded hotel in search of a friendly and familiar face. She’d thought she’d been following Jasmine but the woman had turned around and the flashlight on Hannah’s phone that had been lighting the way for her revealed that she’d been sorely mistaken. The realization caused laughter to bubble up from within the brunette at the ensuing staring contest that began with the stranger who was understandably shaken at being followed. It wasn’t until she had to look away, her laughter becoming too much, that she noticed Forrest waving her over. 

“Forrest!” She declared excitedly as she approached, plopping down on the floor next to him with a lopsided grin on her features. “What’re you doing sitting in the corner by yourself? Are you hiding from someone?”

FRIDAY, JANUARY 22ND, 2021 —  At the Rockwater Resort with @hannahgrvce​

It was the glitzy type of event that Alex didn’t find himself at much anymore, not now that his mother was more than happy to either not go or go with her group of girlfriends. With Mina occupied with some of her friends, Alex had one goal, to find his best friend. Picking up two glasses of champagne from the bar, the author began a slow walk around the main room. She was easy enough to spot in her red dress but it was the look on her face that struck Alex the most. He hadn’t seen this side of Hannah often before, but high Hannah was truly one of his favourite memories.

Walking over to her, a grin on his face, Alex couldn’t help but chuckle as he held a glass out to her. “I know it’s a good event and all, but you almost look like you’re having too much fun.” Leaning in to kiss her cheek, Alex chuckled again. “You look stunning, Han, you doing okay?”

—

There was a lazy smile on Hannah’s features as her red eyes watched a waiter move almost effortlessly through the crowd, the tray of hors d'oeuvre her main focus. She’d been snacking ever since coming in from the cold, the warmth of the room enveloping her cold skin like the hug of an old friend, but she couldn’t seem to get enough. And as she watched the waiter stumble backwards in order to avoid a collision with an unaware pair of guests who decided to stop in their tracks without warning, not so quiet laughter began to roll past her lips. The laughter consumed her until Alex walking towards her pulled her attention away, the laughter dying down to quiet giggles as she took the glass and set it on the table in front of her, stepping forward to wrap him in a tight hug. 

“Is there even such a thing as too much fun?” She questioned, a kiss of her own landing on his cheek and leaving a faded red mark there, which pulled some more laughter from the brunette. “Thank you. Maddie and Jasmine dressed me. If it weren’t for them I’d probably be wearing my old prom dress right now. Remember that?” More laughter left her lips as she caught sight of the waiter again, attention pulled to the food once more, turning and snatching a couple of plates from the tray. “I’m good, so good. How are you? Where’s your girl? I think it’s about time we finally meet for real, don’t you?”

Maddie & Hannah

▬ at the rockwater resort charity event. ▬ january 22nd, sometime after 7 in the evening. ▬ closed starter for jasmine and hannah.

     With so much of her family around it wasn’t uncommon for Madeleine to feel unnerved. She had attempted her very best to stray away from her sisters, older brother and mother, but the latter seemed to find her at every turn. She had pulled Maddie by the arm to criticize her from head to toe ▬ which was pretty common when it came to Raquel ▬ and tell her to keep an eye on Clara, as if her youngest sister wasn’t out there somewhere overdrinking or snorting something out of the bathroom sink. Maddie was stressed, so she gave the bartender a hefty tip for him to give her a bottle of their best bubbly and a water bottle and chased down both of her best friends until she had successfully pulled them by the arm onto the nearest available balcony. “Okay, I just need five minutes in here with both of you before I absolutely go mental,” she smiled a bit too manically and exhaled a bit too forcefully as she gave Jasmine the water bottle and served some of the alcohol for both her and Hannah, taking a much needed sip. “God, this is gross,” Maddie made a face before turning down the rest of what was left in the glass and filling it up again. ( @hannahgrvce​ & @jasmine-mousavi​ ).

..

Jasmine was and always had been a social butterfly, something that made events like this as easy for her as when she went to work. Standing by the bid table, looking over some of the bids and trying to decide if she was brave enough to do a joke bid, or just find something she liked, the young girl was animatedly chatting away to the man next to her, even adding in a little flirt every now and then. “I mean, the trip to Mexico would be great, but I am not risking over forty five..” As she felt the pull on her arm, Jasmine glanced to her left and instantly scurried along next to her best friends. “Oh, hi, hello. What’s up?” Stepping outside onto the balcony, Jasmine quickly hopped up to sit on the ledge, her feet swinging through the air. “What’s going on, buttercup?” Taking the water bottle, the girl nodded her thanks as she cracked the bottle open. “I have to ask, if it’s so gross, why do you drink it?” Looking at the both of them, Jasmine pulled her phone out to snap a picture. “You two both look so hot, it’s almost a crime that we’re staying together tonight. Having fun?” ( @hannahgrvce​)

—

No matter how long she’d been away from Fremont and the small, close knit community, Hannah still found herself uneasy in crowds this large. That coupled with the harsh and curious stares she’d been on the receiving end of ever since she’d walked through the doors with Jack and her two best friends. So after she’d had a rather cold run in with her older sister, Hannah found herself a quiet corner to hide away, choosing to observe the festivities before her rather than participate- that is, until Maddie had found her and ushered both her and Jasmine into the cold night air. “Did your mom find you?” She asked with a knowing smile, arm coming to rest snake Jasmine’s waist after she hopped up onto the balcony to ensure she didn’t fall as she took the glass from Maddie and took a sip. Her nose crinkled at the taste, the familiar sweet taste tingling her tastebuds. “This is Prosecco... aren’t they saying this is champagne? Did they give you the wrong bottle?” She was sidetracked for a moment, head tilting to try and look at the missing label on the bottle in Maddie’s hand. “It’s a means to an end, Jas. A means to an end... and usually tastes better.” She chuckled. “Well I just saw Brooke and her family of fishing robots so that was fun. If looks could kill I swear to you I’d be sliced up into a million pieces right now. How about you guys?”

GAVIN: I wrote on her grocery list what I took the last of? And I put the containers back in the fridge?

HANNAH: Sorry but the boy with half my genes will always be #1

HANNAH: Oh hush, you know you're a solid top 10 friend. Who else do I check to see if they've eaten on a daily basis, hm?? If that doesn't say near and dear to my heart idk what does.

HANNAH: But I have an 11 year old here I cannot leave alone. And I have a feeling your place isn't exactly child friendly 🧐

HANNAH: ..... Have I taught you no manners? You should at least pitch in for some grocery money, c'mon hon. But I am proud of you for putting the containers away.

She couldn’t believe how packed and busy Alibi’s was tonight and although it was expect, the blonde was happy it was getting some business even though the beverages were free. Lucy was also happy at the fact she found a spot to sit down, the women hated wearing heals for a certain amount of hours and Lucy was able to rest her feet. Lucy looked up when she saw Hannah and smiled “Ugh, vodka soda sounds so good right now but I think vodka is a little to strong for me” She looked at Hannah and then continued with “Rum and coke I could do, that’s at least better than beer and not that strong.” She laughed a little but then shook her head “When I don’t want to get drunk I usually just get hard cider, so beer basically.”

—

Hannah couldn’t help but to chuckle at the fact that the two women had very different plans for the evening. Hannah had set out to get completely smashed, something she hadn’t done since her wedding night, and while the champagne was flowing freely it wasn’t doing it for her. She’d needed something stronger, which was why she’d found her way to the bar. “You could always do a hard seltzer? I was completely against it until I tried a lemonade Truly. My whole life was changed. And it’s much less filling than a beer or cider so you can drink more.” Slightly lopsided grin on her features, Hannah leaned towards the bartender once they approached. “Hi hon, can I get a vodka soda with a lime and a rum and coke for my friend here? Thank you.” Pulling some cash from her cleavage to slip into the tip jar, Hannah gave Lucy a bashful smile. “The only downside of this outfit... no pockets.”

Amelia would never admit out loud that she was jealous of the relationship her sister and Hannah had with each other, but it was certainly the simmering sensation she felt inside her chest every time she saw the two together. Not because she needed a best friend, no she had Ophelia for that and truly the two were growing more like sisters everyday, but when she looked at Hannah and Maddie she got a crystal clear look at what things might of been like between herself and Maddie if they’d truly had a sisterly relationship. It showed her what she didn’t have with her older sister, and probably never would. Still at the sound of her nickname she grit her teeth to give the other a winning smile, hugging her back gently, before looking down at herself. “Well thank you, I try. You look nice as well, it seems people have really put in an effort tonight which is nice. It’s a lovely evening. Are you having fun?”

—

Hannah’s friendship with Maddie was one neither of they (nor their families) could have ever predicted, but the brunette was grateful for the woman and her siblings. Maddie had grown to be more of a sister than Brooke, her own blood and biggest bully; and as the McIvy’s turned their back on her, Hannah had found solace in the Rockefellers. They were a stark contrast from the fishing family she came from, and while the warmth- or lack thereof- was the same, the fact that way they’d always been there was comforting. "You have to give your sister and Jasmine credit for this.” She said with a chuckle, motioning towards her dress. “The only thing I had a say in was which shade of red lipstick I was going to wear... and it took me four tries to pick the one they wanted me to wear.” Another laugh left her lips as she took a sip from the champagne flute in her hand. “I never did have your style.” The smile on her features was warm as she nodded her head at Mia’s question. “I am, yeah. How about you? Are you going to bid on anything at the auction?”

     The embrace was welcomed; the male’s arms extending to go around Hannah’s small frame. Meeting up with the woman always felt familiar, as though no time had passed since he’d last seen her, and those were the kind of friends Otto treasured the most. Even during those years when she’d been in Seattle and Otto had remained on the island, they’d kept in touch. He’d easily consider her one of his closest female friends, if not the closest. “You’re tellin’ me.” Agreements were shared and before he knew it, she was pulling back. Even as they stood there, the people walking behind him were shuffling to get through, pushing into him ever so gently. It was irritating as hell. “Er, please.” The light hint of sarcasm was paired with a soft chuckle, leading Otto to place a hand on the small of Hannah’s back as he led her through the gathering. Once outside, her words rung true. The cold hit his face instantly, enough that even the black blazer he’d chosen didn’t exactly keep him warm. Perhaps he should have brought a bigger jacket. Still, he could breath. It was crowded, yes, but less so. “Right — that’s a little better. How’re you, Han?”

—

She could see how irritated he was at the crowded room, her own cheeks flushed a slight shade of red at the body heat being put off of by the plethora of people and the emotional roller coaster she’d gone through as her sister not-so-gently brushed past her only a few moments ago. A light chuckle left her lips at his quick agreement, nodding her head as she allowed him to lead her outside. Once the winter air hit her face she took in a deep breath, it stung a bit in her lungs but Hannah didn’t care. She loved winter, more specifically, she loved snow. And the mountain was covered in it. “I’d much rather breathe in the cold mountain air than fifty different designer perfumes.” She chuckled, arms coming to wrap around her body as a welcomed chill ran down her spine. “But I’m good, actually. Alec and I finally got the lawyers together and got a separation agreement drawn up and we didn’t kill each other so... I take it as a win. How are you? It’s been too long since I’ve seen you, which is kind of a friendship crime.”

Shea was absolutely not going tubing or ice skating. There was no way. So instead, she entertained herself with endless champagne, causing a tiny hiccup to erupt from her chest, shaking it off. Maybe she needed to move to something else — less bubbly. Shea moves from her area to the bar, placing donation money on the counter in order to order two shots, one for her and one for… Someone else. Turning to look beyond the bar, she nods at the bartender, taking the shot to the other with a scrunched face, at least for the moment. “My mother always said that taking shots alone was unlucky,” Shea says, handing it to the other person, insisting they take it with her. She lifts hers closer to her mouth in-between sentences. “Or maybe I just think it’s fucking sad. Either way, drink up so I don’t have to be  unlucky or sad. Everything rests on your shoulders. How does that feel?”

—

Her cheeks were still flushed from ice skating outside and both her ego and her backside were bruised from the amount of times she’d fallen, her dress proving to be an ill advised choice for the activity. She needed to warm up and curve the embarrassment she was feeling, so naturally she found herself gravitating towards the bar with a small plate of canapés she was munching on. She’d paused to search for a napkin, unable to swallow the bite she’d taken as her nose scrunched up with distaste, when Shea approached. “Mm.” She nodded, taking the shot and using it to aid in swallowing the unappealing bite, face only twisting more at the flavor combination. “Oh god, that was... not pleasant.” She coughed out, clearing her throat as she shook her head. “What was that?”

It was a night out on the town and Lucy hasn’t done this type of thing since her college days in the city that never sleeps. Sure that’s when she was younger and would call going to the bars and clubs an event with her friends. However this event felt bigger than the ones she had been to in New York, including a lot fancier and Lucy decided she was going to relax and have fun tonight. With the type of week she had last week, the blonde realized she needed to take a chill pill. The event was semi formal, and even though Lucy hated getting dressed up the blonde decided to do it anyway. Putting on a purple long dress, her back was open & it was tied in a bow the Chicago native kept her hair down and threw on her heels. Little make up and her favorite necklace, the thirty-two year old grabbed her clutch and checked herself in the mirror one more time. Taking a breath, she did a shot of whiskey before leaving. 

 Once arriving, the blonde took a deep breath. She hated crowds, always have and always will. For some reason they just bothered her but the blonde kept her promise and decided she was going to have fun. The cold wind hit her skin and she instantly felt chills, heading into Alibi. She walked around for a few minutes and then pushed her hair back behind her ears before finally moving towards the bar. Standing at the bar now, Lucy turned around to the person standing next to her “Please tell me what your choice of alcohol is.. I need some options.” @elisabethstarters​

—

Leaning against the bar, Hannah waited patiently for the bartender’s attention. The fundraiser was busy, busier than she’d ever expected, and she wasn’t in a hurry. They were doing their best and she could only imagine how stressed everyone working must be feeling. She’d been glancing around, looking for friendly faces among the crowd only to glance down at the sight of her sister- the icy blue gaze cut through Hannah like a knife and sent a shiver down her spine. It wasn’t until she heard the other woman’s voice that she looked back up, sucking in a slightly shaky breath as she plastered a warm, unshaken smile onto her features. “Oh! Um... I usually go with a vodka soda and an extra lime wedge or a diet cuba libre- you know, a rum and coke? Well, diet coke. Cuba libre just makes it sound fancier to me.” She chuckled. “What do you usually get?”

Not going to the 2021 Volunteer Fundraiser was never an option for Amelia, hell it was never an option for any of the Rockefeller children, even if Kit would no doubt make his own rules as per usual. Still it would go against her nature for Mia to resist, so wearing a slinky black dress by her favourite designer Balmain so had shown up (slightly late thanks to getting caught up on a work call and refusing to leave until she was sure she looked impeccable and nothing less) and once she’d fended off the wrath of her best friend towards another partygoer and helped her change the blonde returned to the main ballroom to mingle with other attendees. Taking a glass of champagne from a nearby tray when it was offered she gave the waiter a cool smile, enjoying the sensation of the crisp bubbles as she took a small sip from the glass. Her sister was no doubt here somewhere, but as she scanned the room there were so many people it wasn’t the easiest thing to pick certain people out of the crowed. Seeing someone walking towards her she lifted her hand to wave in greeting, winning smile switching on, she might be exhausted but it was showtime.

Hannah was already three drinks deep and in search of some food, knowing that if she kept going at her current rate she’d be curled up in the corner passed out and snoring- something she knew she’d never live down if her friends found her. So instead she weaved through the crowds of people, changing course only when she saw her best friend’s younger sister. “Mini Mia!” She grinned, enveloping the younger Rockefeller into a hug. “You look gorgeous, as usual.” She said, grin never faltering as she pulled back from the embrace but kept her hands on Mia’s shoulders. “How are you? Are you having a good time?”

jack-rowe​:

Jack took a deep breath, not sure whether to say yes or no. Honestly, he didn’t really know what he was doing “I’m, uh.” He nodded. “Yeah, I guess I am.” Chewing his lip, he looked at her. “Not sure if this is really an ‘appropriate’ situation, but.. I definitely feel like this night would be better if I was high.” He dug into the pockets of his suit coat, and then swore to himself. “Shit, I left it in my jean pockets…” 

—

Hannah’s eyebrows raised as he hesitated with his answer, a soft laugh escaping her lips as she nodded in understanding. It seemed like the pair were in the same boat and she was no longer surprised she’d found him outside in the cold, finding solace in the frigid night air. “I know I may act like it sometimes, but I’m not your mom, Jack.” Chuckling softly, Hannah watched him dig into the pockets of the jacket she’d given him, grin slowly growing on her features. “You left what in your jean pockets?” She asked with raised brows, grin never faltering as she reached into her cleavage and pulled out a joint. “This?”

FRIDAY, 22ND JANUARY 2021. at ROCKWATER RESORT with @hannahgrvce.

     The atmosphere was electric, hyped up by the presence of a community coming together for a generous cause. Otto wasn’t usually the one who’d be seen swaggering around in a suit and tie; smart shoes clung to his toes. Yet the principles behind the event were charitable, and Otto wasn’t about to deny his presence due to the required attire. He did, however, find himself loosening his tie as his feet shuffled to get through the crowd. His eyes were set ahead of him, cemented on Hannah, who he hadn’t seen since Christmas. He didn’t want to lose the position his eyes had on her, which was easily doable with the growing masses surrounding him. Otto did just about push his way through before he made it to her, an easy smile growing from ear-to-ear. “Hannah,” he announced, somewhat breathless. “So happy to see a familiar face — I know they warned us about crowding issues, but this is just insane.”

—

She’d lost Jasmine and Maddie about ten minutes ago, the trio getting separated amongst the crowd as they each went to find alcohol, food, and something fun to do. Hannah had been in search of the booze, but the crowd of people made it difficult for her to see where anything was. While Hannah had spent the better part of her life in big cities like Vancouver and Seattle, she was still a small town girl at heart. Fremont had less than 400 people and it was painfully obvious the Rockwater Resort currently housed at least double that amount. And as she stood in the middle of the crowd, trying to get her bearings and catch her breath, when a familiar voice caught her attention. 

“Otto!” She waved, smile coming to her features as she waved him over, waiting for him to get to her until she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. “You and me both, I swear I’ve been swimmin’ in a sea of people for like, fifteen minutes.” Chuckling softly, Hannah pulled back from the hug and nodded in agreement. “You wanna go outside? It may be cold but at least there’s fresh air.”

[hannahgrvce]

WHO: @jack-rowe​ WHERE: Rockwater Resort

The harsh slap of the cold mountain air had Hannah inhaling a sharp breath as she stepped outside, wrapping the black faux fur stole tightly around her as she moved further away from the noise of the party inside. It wasn’t that she was having a bad time, but Hannah was tired of the stares and the whispers, the chatter about her family putting a damper on what was supposed to be a fun evening. But when she’d spotted a blast from her past she’d been recently running in to she’d had to get out of there. So after grabbing a glass of bubbly off of the nearest waiter’s tray, she’d made her way outside and began to search for a quiet place to gather her thoughts. She hadn’t expected to run into Jack, but she wasn’t surprised. Instead, she found herself leaning up against the wall next to him. “You hiding out here, too?”
