[ lennon knox ; ] ( ◤ ✕・— hey angel, tell me, do you ever try to come to the other side?

“I suppose it doesn’t help that they all practically adored you, anyway. You were like this little angel compared to me and my friends. Singing at school plays, putting the rest of us to shame. No, no, it was good though, especially when I was teaching myself how to play the guitar. You were the first girl I ever performed with. Kinda miss the guitar some days. It just reminds me too much of Evelyn now.” He wasn’t aware of what happened to Lennon when he left for London and fell in love with the illustrious Cassie/Evelyn who broke his heart all those years ago when he was 18. But then again, Logan never really did pay much attention to anything that wasn’t spelt out to him. He was always dumb that way, never really did see what was happening in front of him. “And then there was Scarlett. No, I think the guitar holds too much lost memory for me, I always end up playing the same stupid songs I used to sing them.” The man chuckled and drew his hand through his hair. “I’m much better at it now, you’ll have to see the furniture I made for my new home. I even made Isabelle a jewelry box for Christmas. Yeah, she hated it when I spent time with you but it wasn’t like she ever really won those arguments - she was too scared Alex would tell me to break up with her. Nine times out of ten it usually worked. Can’t be with someone my mates hate. Well, there might always be a hot tub situation… Great! I’ll give them a call and see when I can come over next.”

      “How could they not have adored the little sunflower in the spring program? Or Cindy Lou Who during Christmastime? I always nailed my performance of Where Are You Christmas, it was always a showstopper.” Her face lit up, she always tended to get that way when he talked her up. Though, her face slightly fell when he mentioned Evelyn. There was an eye-roll that always followed when he said her name, the occasional groan. “You’re stopping because of Evelyn? That’s pretty bogus, Lo. Especially for someone as talented as you are. You shouldn’t hold back your talent for her, she isn’t worth that.” Watching Logan get his heart broken over those girls was enough to drive her crazy, watching the boy she’d always been crazy for. Her little school crush that was always something more -- for usually just her. There had always been different girls, she’d always seemed to go un-noticed. “I haven’t played in a while -- but how about we learn a new song together? You shouldn’t stop playing music because of some silly girls.” Who was she to talk? She hadn’t played a note or sang a tune since the passing of her biological mother. “You’re a craftsman now too? What can’t you do? -- And yet you were still with her even when you knew that I didn’t like her. Mm, a hot-tub. Maybe in the near future. I’ll be sure to clear my overly-abundant schedule for you.”

“Damn, maybe my grandmother does like you better than she likes me. You always were the good one, I was always too busy sneaking off with girls. Somehow she still thinks I’m pure – not sure where she gets that idea from. No way, she didn’t? I had enough of that with my mom, now I gotta deal with her showing them off too? What else has she been telling you? Oh geez, Sophie in The Valleys? No way – she’d be eating these boys alive. She already liked teasing my friends when we were younger, now all my friends are old and I don’t want to know what happens then. That shed was the bomb, remember when I tried building that shitty treehouse when we were 15? And I ended up breaking my fucking arm because I was using rotten, stolen wood from my dad? Honestly… well, at least I’m better at it now. I’ll try again some day, build a proper treehouse, really big one that we can have parties in and everything. She was a bit of a bitch, wasn’t she? I think even I hated her. We only dated for like a month, though. I don’t even know why I liked her, she just never left me alone and because she was popular I felt like I’d be ostracized if I said no. That and I guess she did have pretty nice boobs. It’s a shame we’re in London, not too much excuse to take my clothes off here, you’re gonna be missing out, Lenny. Fine – we should go to a petting farm or something. Come with me to the shelter some time to see the pups.”

     “There’s no maybe to it, buster. She loves me much more, I mean, she has every right to. I talk to her, help her with tea, make sweets with her, and laugh with her about her grandson. What else would she want? You? Pure? Not that you’re some sexual maniac, but you’re certainly not pure. Little Logie in the bath tub will be one of my favorites, with your little bubble Santa beard. Sophie would never be safe with these boys around, Styles would try and make moves on her. The rustic shed was such an eye pleaser, wasn’t it? That damn treehouse, you were so determined that you were going to make it and all I ended up with was helping carry your books to class for the next month and a half. You milked that for the longest time, I swear I wanted to hate you for it. We can purchase brand new wood and actually do it right --.. or we’ll just get half way through and get too tired. I always want to see if that she is still there. She was such a pain in the ass. Trying to get you to spend less time with me, looking at me like I was some red-headed step child. She did have some pretty tits though, I was jealous. I don’t think it’s fair how I always had to watch you with all these girls and boys didn’t even like me enough for you to be bothered with watching me have an obnoxious boyfriend on my arm. How will I ever get a chance to see your six-pack now? Guess I’ll just never have another opportunity, what a shame. I’ll have to find a way. Please, that would be so great.”

Layla: I'll be in the house

Layla: I just need a place to get away when things get too much I guess

Lennon: oh okay, that should be good for you

Lennon: you definitely need a place for that.

[loganpls]

“You been taking advantage of my grandmother without me around? I hear you’ve been hanging out with Sophie, getting into all sorts of trouble with my sister now, are you? I actually need to stop by and visit her before she ends up here instead. Still innocent as ever, are you Lennon? It was - I remember that round of truth or dare we forced upon each other. Shit, I miss being a kid, don’t you? That fuckin’ farm in Holmes where we used to drink frosty jacks and think we were ‘cool kids’. I always had some random girlfriend – do you remember Jennifer Balington? What a chin she had on her. I’m disgusted with myself, the photos on my facebook are horrific. What, was that you watching our previous season in Hawaii? I do recall being topless an awful lot over there. What if it was an adorable yet rabid little bunny? Heh…I mean, yeah, I suppose I aged pretty decent. Haven’t had complaints, yet.

[lcnny-blog]

  "Oh, absolutely. We get together all the time, didn’t you know that? Share some tea, talk about little baby Logan, and even if I’m lucky, she brings out the old baby pictures. Your little baby bottom is the cutest. Speaking of Soph, I hate to let you know that she’s moved ahead of you in my list too. I think I might invite her on over here, I need my partner in crime back by my side. Maybe not too innocent, I do like to walk on the wild side.  Have both tea and coffee, have dessert before dinner, y’know -- crazy stuff. Being a kid was so much simpler, right? Sitting on top of the roof of that old shed, thinking we were something special because only we knew how to get to the roof. You always had a girl, never remembered a time when you weren’t single for a longer period of time -- If I’m being honest, she was my least favorite of them all. That’s what I focused on the most, didn’t you know? Your smokin’ hot body on my television. That’d be cruel, don’t you think? How about a less rabid bunny? Oh yeah, just decent. Y’know, not too shabby.”

That I am. Still got eighteen months left. Well currently the effect of renin-adenosine compounds on the kidney. There’s been more interesting things I have to admit. You strike me as a latte kind of girl.

[lcnny-blog]

     Eighteen months? I don’t see how you can do that. --..That sounds mighty complicated, but I don’t know much about that topic. I am definitely a latte kind of girl.

Layla: can you maybe get back to the house? and help me move into my new appartment?

Layla: i literally have no upper body strength

Lennon: sure, yeah, i can help

Lennon: new apartment? are you not going to be staying in the house?

The “cafe au lait drinking, scarf wearing, black and white Instagram filter hipster” mood? I’ve seen it cling to some of our castmates.  I have yet to try the coffee here, but I’m betting it’s not going to be strong enough. I’ll tag along, though.

[lcnny-blog]

       “Not particularly -- just the “I’ve not written a piece of music in at least three months and I’ve suddenly got the urge” kind of mood. Tea is the strong suit, but I am craving the taste of coffee so tea just won’t cut it.

“I wouldn’t want to impose on your artistic moment here, Lenny. You sure you’re for a break? I’m most definitely up for a cuppa if you can really tear yourself away. Besides, I still think we’ve got lots of lost time to be making up for.”

[lcnny-blog]

     “Impose as much as you’d wish, I don’t mind at all. I think I need a break for a while, I’ve just been jotting down certain lyrics here and there. We do, there is plenty that we’ve both got to catch up on.” 

[fckaustenarchives]

“Confidence, Lennon, cocky is such a harsh term, don’t you think? That’s exactly it, I’ll always be around someway or another. Should’ve thought about this more carefully before you signed up, y’know. Damn, hopefully you get past it soon, it’d be a shame to lose out on too much of all that potential you’re hogging –.. Now now, Knox, if I didn’t know any better I would say it sounds like you’re trying to flirt with me. You gotta be gentle with this fragile heart of mine.”

[lcnny-blog]

    “Cockiness is a hard term to escape when it applies to you so well.  You’re going to be like that Geico commercial with stack of money that stalks everyone --..except, well, you’re no stack of Benjamins. I don’t know, I -- who knows? Maybe I’ll get back t oit someday, it just doesn’t feel right. You think that I am flirting with you? You’re so full of yourself..”

So this is what this show has converted people to - from shot glasses to pens. Either you’re completely out of character for this kind of show or I’ve whisked myself up to some ‘dead poets society’ meets ‘the sleepover club’ twisted fantasy. I think I’ll pass. I’m afraid you might mistaken a chapel for a coffee shop and have us roll our several Hail Mary for my sins.

    “For Christ’s sake -- I am a musician, I write, and I certainly don’t see anything wrong with that. Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t give a damn about that.” 

[alexmorganjfc]

“Just for your slick little compliment right there, I suppose I can forget about the fact that you never even told me about hopping on a plane to London. C’mere, Lenny, I’ve missed your ass —”

[lcnny-blog]

     “I wanted to surprise you, Al. How could I miss out on spending time with you now that you’re in London? It’d be so uncalled for -- God, I’ve missed you so much -- You have no idea how much I’ve missed you.”

[lutomlinson-blog1]

“How cliche. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you’re quite the intelligent girl, but being a writer in London isn’t exactly the most original thing. Yawn. Could this day get any more boring? I’m glad you offered that cup of tea because I was feeling my brain slowly turn to mush whist watching the camera crew try and figure out how to screw in a light bulb. Where are we headed? Perhaps the most popular cafe? You seem like a sweet girl, really. But I’m caution of whom I’m going to be seen with. After all, this is a reality television, correct? Majority of the people here are the bottom feeders in the entertainment industry looking for a little screen time. I’ve been used in the past. So if you’re looking to swirl dating rumours or land on the cover of some desperate magazine than I’m your man.”

[lcnny-blog]

    “ --..I’m a musician who lives in London. Who gives a shit about it being original? Why does it even make me unoriginal? That’s bullshit. --..So, wait, are you wanting rumors to come about? I mean, I could really care less, I know what it feels like -- but, if you want to get tea at some popular cafe, I don’t care.” 

[hfsgrazia]

“Really? That’d be fucking awesome, I love you. Oh, that’s a bit disappointing. Is there any way I can help out?”

[lcnny-blog]

    “You and I can get up to some mischief of our own for once. I love you too, my darling. Just keeping myself busy and distracted, as poor as that seems sometimes.” 

[loganpls]

“She doesn’t see you all the time, come on now, it’s not like you live in a hidden spare room in my grandmothers home. If she doesn’t know about me being on a TV show, then she doesn’t know about all the naughty things I’ve seen you get up to. Or about that time we stole alcohol from our parents. You don’t think I’d rock a dad-bod? You been looking at me without a dad-bod, then? Hmm, curious. I totally do, I can set animals on my enemies. I know, it feels kind of like an eternity. You certainly grew.”

[lcnny-blog]

    “Who knows? Maybe we shared a monthly visit together while we’ve been living in the same place. You never know, Lo, you never know. Naughty things? I’ve not been the naughtiest person around here. God -- that was a good time, wasn’t it? I am not sure how you would handle a dad bod. -- You’ve got me backed into a corner now, haven’t you? I might’ve glanced maybe once or twice, it’s only human nature. Set some sort of animal on me and you’re dead meat, Logan O’Connor. Life did me pretty well, didn’t it? And you? You look -- you look good, really good.”
