living on regrets.

helena "hell" soares 23 nanny.

[helenasoarcs]

[cis female + she / her ] Welcome to Aurora Bay, [HELENA SOARES]! I couldn’t help but notice you look an awful lot like [JULIA DALAVIA]. You must be the [TWENTY-THREE] year old [NANNY]. Word is you’re [ADVENTUROUS] but can also be a bit [CALLOUS] and your favorite song is [MAN! I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN by SHANIA TWAIN]. I also heard you’ll be staying in [OCEAN CREST APARTMENTS]. I’m sure you’ll love it!

name: helena soares

nickname: hell

age: 23

gender: cis female

sexual orientation: pansexual

occupation: nanny

residence: ocean crest apartments

death tw: helena soares was the second child to marisol and diego soares. due to a complication after childbirth, marisol didn’t accompany her child home to her family. there was many speculation about what happened for the years to come, a lot revolving around malpractice on the hospital’s part which was why they moved quickly to cover up the incident and offered a large sum of money to marisol’s husband. 

despite taking the money, her father worked as if he had none. he became a workaholic and left his newborn child in the care of his oldest and family members. for most of her life, hell can only remember her older sister dressing her, caring for her, and being the one to make sure she got to all her appointments.

death tw: nothing was missed financially but she did miss out the relationship with her parents. her sister kept her under her wing and prevented her from going down the wrong paths, apart from the few instances where she was found underage at parties or the time she got caught shoplifting. she graduated from high school and had a plan to become a teacher until she got a call that her father had collapsed at work and never made it to the hospital alive. 

loss/depression tw: the heartbreak was instant and she missed her entire semester of school, eventually leaving her studies behind. leaving school was the easiest choice but picking herself up with the aid of her sister was a process that took multiple years. her sister and hell grew closer together and she clung onto for every aspect of her life, which was why her sudden move felt like another loss entirely. caught between feeling happy that her sister had met someone and was going to be with him, she also felt heartbroken that she wouldn’t have her support system.

they keep in touch as much as possible but helena has felt a little loss without her the last year now that she lives on her own. despite loving her job as a nanny, she isn’t motivated to do much other than that for the time being. at this point, her life feels more like it’s on a downward spiral.

"That's pretty much exactly what I mean."

Two adults in an empty playground together was spontaneous, whimsical even. One was suspicious and borderline ominous. He shifts the bag of food he's holding so he could carry it under his arm on his hip after agreeing to share whatever caught her fancy in it.

He makes his way into the park then, opting to take the path instead of cutting across the grass so they didn't end up separated if she decided to skateboard her way inside with him.

"I ordered hungry and I can already tell I way overdid it."

@helenasoarcs

[helenasoarcs]

She's a foodie.

So naturally she doesn't think twice and just follows him into the empty playground.

Surely she wouldn't have been so inclined if it was a stranger but Helena wasn't so sure. Maybe she would have taken a few seconds to scope out the person but she figured in an open space like this, someone trying to kidnap her wasn't going to lure her on a play structure of all places.

But this was Mack. She knew him. They had their own wild stories and this was quite fitting.

"That means you got carbs. I'm excited." The scent that wafted from the plate smelled divine.

"I would suggest you work on your pitch, though. It would be a little sketched out if I didn't know you. You know, in case this situation happens again and I'm not here to feast."

She rises to the main level and sits down. "Try it again but more... excitable this time."

"Level with me here," Thea said as she turned a piece of black tourmaline over between her hands. "You don't actually believe in any of this, do you?"

[helenasoarcs]

"I think it's more about the power of manifestation. Like you believe it's bringing you protection or calmness so you manifest it. Does that make sense?"

[easyhenderson]

Spatula in hand and with an egg frying on the grill, Easy blinks at the woman who had appeared in his space, momentarily worried that she might have been the patron who's order he was cooking losing her patience.

Before he can respond, he realises the egg was close to overcooked and he sprang into action to try salvage it.

"Shoot," He says under his breath as he shovels it off the heat and drops it onto the plate to finish off the order, placing it to be picked up with a ring of the bell before he turns his attention to the intruder.

"You're welcome to hide out here for a little if you need," He assumes she must if she was offering manual labour in exchange for refuge, "Is everything alright? Is there something going on out there?"

@helenasoarcs

[helenasoarcs]

It dawned on her how this might look.

The way she rushed in and then demanded refuge to the point where she'd clean up bits of grease or whatever those stains could be on the ground.

Was it better to let him make up his own scenario or fess up to the truth: that she didn't realize she was on a date and when the guy she randomly accepted dinner with was now turning into a stage five clinger to the point of asking her to change her facebook status from single to in a relationship? Probably a lose lose situation.

"it's complicated."

Not much better. "I mean, for me it's complicated but not for you. Like there isn't anything going on with the establishment and the food itself. Just one guest that I was eating with."

She could have easily gone back and told him she wasn't interested but that seemed like the worst plan and last thing she wanted to do.

"Just please let me stay because I'm at the point where I'd scrape the grease traps with my bare hands." She showed him her short but cute manicured fingernails, hand painted flowers that took her ages.

"Bare hands. So, it's bad. But also, I can cook up a mean hard-boiled egg. Put me to use."

sternum. what makes their heart pound hardest ?

"I'm not good with sleeping on my own. Someone tried to break into our apartment when I was a kid and that always freaked me out so any weird noise will usually keep me up for most of the night."

[helenasoarcs]

maroon: do you care for clothing brands?

"Not really. I appreciate things that are done well but I tend to thrift a lot and most of my clothes are from smaller brands or some that aren't super popular. I love a cotton, oversized t-shirt."

[helenasoarcs]

who stands by them no matter what ?

"My sister has always been in my corner and taken my side. She'll tell me if I'm in the wrong but ultimately will make me feel better and guide me on how to make things better. I owe her the world."

"Oh my god, I remember the biggest thing that happened my junior year was that one of the seniors caught her man here with her best friend! It was insane. I forget who texted her the picture to begin with - but it was a whole thing!" Celine said, vividly remembering the big argument that broke out that night. Although she was not close friends with anyone involved, at the time everyone sort of knew of each other. "That is adorable!" the woman said as she grabbed the lighter and inspected the small little details. "I need one like this. Even if it's just to keep around the house." she chuckle lightly.

[helenasoarcs]

"Now that would ruin a whole friend dynamic. That must have been interesting to watch and all the drama surrounding it." In her experience, it never quite encompassed the people involved but there were always other group of people who got involved and made everything much bigger than it needed to be. "I can totally order you one, though I kind of feel like I could make them. It's been on my tik tok for a while now. It's clay and then you use some kind of nail polish that goes hard and an UV light to finish it off. —Maybe i'll make you one!"

[darcyxanthonyx]

"You're so right. We should get something. I mean, what's even so cool about being in relationships anyway? It's lowkey annoying. And thats not me being bitter that I'm single, I just think the whole PDA and ooey gooey stuff is gross."

[helenasoarcs]

"The whole PDA thing isn't what bothers me. I've had one too many friends who wrapped their entire lives around someone they just met a month ago. They stop hanging out, suddenly like things they've never enjoyed and change so much. I hate when that happens. But yeah, I fully agree."

[edenxoconnell]

The woman’s words had Eden’s stomach twisting, because she knew there was no hope for her and Robbie. Sometimes she worried that if soulmates were real she’d ruined her chance with hers. She always hoped there wasn’t just one person for her. But then again, she and Robbie were even younger than they are now when they started dating, so maybe she’d fallen too hard too fast, which only made her feel more insane.

“No.” She shook her head. “It’s over. It’s been made quite clear, and yeah, I think I have to just hope for someone else.” Eden hated how pathetic she felt when she spoke about it.

“Anyway, enough about all that, it’s depressing.”

@helenasoarcs

[helenasoarcs]

Helena flashed her a sympathetic smile and then nodded her head. She'd never been someone who believed in soulmates because there were too many people in this world but she did know that as long as two people continuously chose each other, they could be happy and have a long lasting love. "That's exciting, too." The idea of dating and the potential that could become with someone else.

"It's nice to have something to look forward to and once you get over the nerves, dating is kind of fun. You meet new people— get some drinks and food." But maybe she was more like her who didn't put much pressure on things.

"Or you just don't bother about it and things fall in your lap when you least expect it."

milk:do you have any allergies?

"None! I'm sensitive to perfumed lotions and certain fabrics give me a rash but not actual allergies."

"I love someone who doesn't take themselves seriously, who can laugh at themselves and a situation. There needs to be a love of adventure and being able to go with the flow."

"I usually feel most at peace by a body of water somewhere. A lake, river, the sea."

Robbie falls back into step beside her, lifting his arm to push a low hanging branch up and over her head so it doesn't smack her in the face. Helena's answer about her birthday only provokes a frown out of him, and he can't help but look mildly offended at the principle that she spent it at someone else's party.

"How about, if I'm not already being too smothering, I take you out for a belated birthday thing? Just you and me, or I can coordinate with some friends, I just need some help rounding them up, because I don't know them."

It's worth a shot, anyway.

"Realistic or cool answer?" Robbie asks. "Actually, no, because my cool answer is a sugar glider, which is highly unethical, so my realistic answer is—" He squints up, thinking over the answer. "A chinchilla, because I already know how complex they are, and I would make sure half my room is set up for one to get its exercise and be happy, and I can get really super meticulous about routines and schedules."

His grin returns with a nudge to her side, "I'd UNO reverse that one back at you, but how about— what useless talent do you have that you're really super proud of?"

[helenasoarcs]

Helena peers up at him pushing the branch from her face and then back at him with a thankful smile. It saved her from the embarrassment of having to fend off a branch that got tangled up in her hair and stalling them for another ten minutes.

"That's super sweet and you don't have to do that. I'm not usually someone that loves to be fussed over." But she didn't want that to sound to self-deprecating or like she wasn't thankful. "I'd be down to hang out just the two of us. Not necessarily for my birthday, but in general. Like I don't need a cake and all of that is what I'm saying."

His answer surprises her and she can't help but laugh at the randomness of it. "How do you know so much about them? Was it some kind of weird obsession as a child and you've always dreamt of owning one?" She'd had those in the past but never a chinchilla of all things.

"I watched pitch perfect and as every young girl, needed to learn and perfect the cup song so I know it— and somehow, after all those years, and despite never practicing— I can still do it perfectly. I've been told it's both impressive and embarrassing."
