We’re okay? I— [ That had been a kind way of putting it. She’d needed space… But Sapphire knew that wasn’t true. The last thing she’d needed was space but once she’d set her mind to it- to pushing almost everyone away- there was no going back. If she stopped calling Jake when she was in trouble, she’d get into bigger trouble and then for one night only the music would be so loud she wouldn’t be able to hear her own insufferable thoughts. There would be no one there to save her. No one who would always be there, no questions asked, every time. Sapphire had wanted to spare him from it, from her worst but now he was here. Now she could touch him again and find comfort in his overly-concerned eyes. ] Jake. You- Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. [ With that, she’d leaned ever so slightly, ever so gently into the hand in her hair. She closed her eyes, her head starting to shake as she willed herself not to cry but… Sapphire pulled away from his touch enough to look at his arm properly, almost reaching out to touch it. Toxic attraction. ] You are. And I- I don’t deserve it. I’m not… I am a terrible person. Oh my god, I- I just— I don’t. So please, just… [ But she couldn’t ask him to stop being there for her. ]

Of course we are... We’re Sapphire and Jake. We’ll always be okay. [ He kept his hand against her face as she leaned against it, wishing there was something more he could do to make her feel better- to stop her looking so sad. ] Hey, don’t ever say that. Don’t ever talk about yourself like that. [ She had moved away from his hand, but he returned it back to the side of her face, his other hand joining it on the opposite side. ] You’re one of the best people in my life and you- you deserve the world, Sapphire. You deserve so much more than-... I-... You-...

… Mm, is someone talking about the aura in this room? ‘Cause after mom put up the fairy lights- fire hazard be damned- I think it got pretty damn positive. Man, I think Bruno himself would be proud of that attitude alone. But I’m totally blaming hearing you mention William on the drugs.

Hey bro.

Bro! You’re awake!

It’s okay, I watched her change ll the bulbs and check the wires before hanging them, so I wouldn’t worry about a fire breaking out any time soon. Man, if I could’ve, I would’ve flown Bruno himself out here, and that’s fair about William. Anyway! Have you seen this poll? I voted for myself before reading the question, so be careful of that, but yeah... Alex Vandervort is pregnant. Congratulations, you’re gonna be a father. [ grinning ] Well, you or one of these other guys.

“Sapphire, come on! I know you’re in there!” Jake called through her bedroom door, having been told by Scarlett that she was upstairs. “Please talk to me, Saph.” He pleaded, a hand on the door. “I’m coming in, okay?” Opening the door and looking around, it was clear that she actually wasn’t here, but the running of the shower next door was a good indicator for where she was. “Saph? Can I please talk to you? We can talk through the shower curtain, you don’t even have to look at me.” Jake cracked the door open a fraction, “Saph?”

TEXT: ALL

Jesse: Enough is enough. We have to do something about Gossip Girl and we have to do it now. It's time she was taken down, for good.

Jesse: Will you join in my crusade?

Jesse: ....Yes I did watch Les Mis to get pumped up for this but still. I'm taking Gossip Girl down.

Jake: Normally I'd be asking if you were sure about this, but you're right

Jake: If we don't stop her, who will?

Jake: Vive la France!

[Without even really turning to address the person sitting down next to her–her eyes are fixed on her compact where she’s checking her lipstick–she waves them away with her free hand] No.

[ No words. Legit just turning in his chair to give her this look. ]

spenceking :

Yes ma’am, I’ll be back on the field before you know it. Alright, thank you. Thank you for the invite. Great party, really. I’ll- I’ll see you [ with an added awkward little wave at Angie Hunter (a big ole football fan) before making his exit ].

… Gonna need another mocktail.

Guess we’ve both been benched, huh? That tackle was way harsh, man. Someone should’ve at least been given a penalty for that. [ laughs a little, but almost too much cause GOD this is his hero Spencer King! ] I think a few people have managed to sneak in alcohol.

Hey, you don’t happen to know who chose the code word ‘Chanandler Bong’, do you?

[jaunty-jake]

At the #springfling event, Jake has chosen the codeword "Chanandler Bong". What he doesn't know just yet is that his match is also known as: Sutton Valentine!!

I’ll be there for youuuuuu.

[jaunty-jake]

                      I’m sure I can make Mr Hunter more than laugh.

                      Ohmygod.

                     Aaaand we’re done with the finger food.

“The sandcastle building competition is calling to me. I don’t think I’m particularly good at sandcastle building, but let’s be real…how good are the rest of you likely to be, anyway?”

“Uh... yeah. I mean, who’s been out here practising? Just lucky I- the number one sand castle builder- am out of commission on account of not wanting sand to get stuck in my cast.”

[jaunty-jake]

sophiavandervort :

I’m going to take a wild guess and say you are also headed towards ‘hug a pug’.

What? What are you talking about? If there was a ‘hug a pug’ station here, I think I would know about it.

[jaunty-jake]

So, did you see that William was here? What as that all about? Can’t the nurses kick him out or something? Speaking of, do you think that they would be chill with me playing Uptown Funk over the P.A. system? Positive energy, people! Logan needs the aurora to be-... wait, no, the aroma? Aura! The aura needs to be positive, and relaxed, and alive with the sound of Bruno Mars.

[She hardly noticed that they’d moved until he was sitting her down on a bed, hand still in hers and suddenly she was so terribly aware of how she felt. Scared. Lonely. Furious. With her father, with herself. How could she have let things get like this? How could she have pushed Jake away? Jake who had always… Sapphire stared at him. He’d asked a question but it took her a minute to hear it, her grip on his hand instantly tightening when she did. ] No. No, don’t. I just- I just want— [ The word got caught in her throat. ‘You’. But she didn’t know, she didn’t know. ] Jake, I’m sorry. For… This past month, before that even. I- I’m sorry if you needed me and I couldn’t- I wasn’t there.

[ Jake’s grip tightened too as Sapphire squeezed his hand, silently reassuring her that he wouldn’t go anywhere. He was shaking his head before she even finished speaking, smiling a little as his free-- and bandaged-- hand came up to move the hair from her face. ] Hey, hey... It’s okay. We’re okay. You don’t have anything to apologise for. You needed space and that’s okay. [ Honestly, not having her around had sucked, but she was dealing with things too. Whether he had been angry or upset with her didn’t matter. She was here now and the last thing he wanted to to was make her feel worse. Jake just wanted to be there for her. Whatever she needed. ] My arm broke and I can’t study for shit, but it’s okay that you weren’t there. I mean, I would’ve liked to see you and hang out and-... But you’re okay, right? You know I’m always here. [ His hand was still kind of hovering in her her hair-- not quite resting on the side of her face, but tentatively there. ]

[jaunty-jake]

suttonvalentine :

Yep, like a hair pact instead of a pregnancy one. [ Sutton started to move along with the music. It really wasn’t all too hard, but man would it be easier if they could play some, like… Drake instead of this stuff ] So you came with Alex? That’s cool. She’s cool. The shrimp puffs are cool, too. What a, uh, cooool night.

Well, thank god. [ He laughed-- at her joke, not her dancing. He loved her dancing actually. Jesus. ] Hm? Oh, yeah. Just as friends though. [ He felt compelled to mention that ] But yeah, she’s cool. Shrimp puffs are okay, like would it kill them to put out some of those tiny pizzas? [ Some more grinning on his part and a head tilt that almost lead to him falling over. She was so cute ] You said ‘cool’ like four times, you good?

[jaunty-jake]

shinebrightlikea-sapphire :

Yeah. [ Sapphire couldn’t help but smile before he sighed. He always tried to make her feel better. He kept everything so light and good and happy… It was actually really hard to turn away from that, to distance yourself and looking at him now, she couldn’t remember why she’d ever tried to. ] I think she’s just had one too many appletinis. They start to really go to your head after what? Eighty, ninety years. I— [ There it was. She really wanted to say yes. She wanted… She wanted to be taken care of like that. To be cared about like that and she could finally see it now with undeniable clarity, the way he looked at her. But she was heavy and wrong and sad. She was trying to not be selfish but when she was looking at him right back, it was too hard to be anything but. ] I do. Jake I— No, I don’t need… Don’t go, to get me anything. Just stay. Wherever we go just… Stay.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. I won’t go anywhere. I promise. [ Jake couldn’t hide the concern in his eyes- he didn’t even try to- as he helped her to her feet and walked her out of the main hall. There was surely a room of sorts nearby where she could rest for a little while and, after checking a good few doors, they finally found a bedroom. He sat down on the edge of the bed as he lowered her on to it too, his hand remaining in hers as he spoke. ] Are you sure there’s nothing I can get you? I’d only be a minute.

fkblair-waldorf :

“Well since I am not welcome, definitely means I do not need to repay you a favour. I’m sure your date is missing your stone wall conversations. You should go find her. Why did you save me anyway?”

“I’m sure you don’t... doesn’t mean you won’t.” The smirk locked itself in place on his lips as she continued to speak. “My date is hanging out with Jesse, but I’m sure Alex appreciates your concern.” He shrugged, “Who says I was saving you?”

[jaunty-jake]

suttonvalentine :

[ legit calling back and probably earning some stares ] Yeah! Yeah, I– [ quiets down and walks a helluva lot closer ] I did. You probably don’t wanna get stepped on, but also I’m not wearing those knife lookin’ stilettos.

It’s nice! Alex cut her’s too. Did you guys like... do some weird hair ritual thing? [ he laughed, lowering his voice as she got closer ] Lack of knife shoes is definitely a bonus for my feet, but nah, come on. I trust you. It’s not like this is the tango.
