TAKE FLIGHT.

LEYLA HAAS   The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear. var fhs = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id = "5600599"; var ref = (''+document.referrer+'');var pn = window.location;var w_h = window.screen.width + " x " + window.screen.height; fhs.src = "//freehostedscripts.net/ocounter.php?site="+fhs_id+"&e1=&e2=&r="+ref+"&wh="+w_h+"&a=1&pn="+pn+""; document.head.appendChild(fhs);document.write(""); ❖ rockford newbie, twenty-eight

LANA.

“I suppose so. It’s just strange. You go your whole like thinking you want one thing and then you get it and find that it’s something else you want entirely. I’m wondering if it’s just humanity that’s never satisfied, or if it’s me.”

“Oh trust me, it’s not just you. It’s the burden society has to bare. If we were always truly satisfied there would be no riots on the white house lawn, no failed marriages, nothing. We’d all be living in Utopia and I don’t know but Utopia doesn’t sound all that great if you ask me.”

Brennan: It's just a beautiful thing.

Brennan: Wait for the season to come back.

Leyla: I've never really gotten into it, so I can't relate there. Hell, I don't even know how most of it works and what the terminology is.

Leyla: You base your whole life around this game? Do you play?

LANA.

“Because when you get down to it, I don’t have a bad life here. I shouldn’t want to be going off to wherever. What is it you miss?”

“Just because your life is good doesn’t mean you can’t miss something. Or want something more. Isn’t that the point of life? To grow and to go after what you what? Or else why bother, right? Then you’re not fully living.”

LANA.

“Mmm, I’m beginning to think something might be wrong with me.”

“What? Why would you say that? Because you miss something?”

Brennan: One of my hockey teams is on a bye week and the other one sucks dick this year. I mean I'm still watching hockey. And college basketball if I bet it. But it's not the same. I need football and it's not even close.

Leyla: Damn, you're really passionate about your football, huh?

Leyla: What do you do when the season is over?

“Candace, Candace get back here!” The brunette called out as her mini-me zipped straight passed her and in the direction of a dog who was across the street. Unfortunately, Candace wasn’t a good listener and she was the definition of having the terrible twos, but when you were still three years old. Luckily, her rush to the flurry animal was interrupted when someone walked out of a store on the street and she colliding straight into their legs. “Dangit, Candace!” Finally, Leyla was able to catch up and rather than noticing the man her daughter ran into, she went straight to scolding the little girl. “Candace Sharon Haas! What did I tell you about running away from mommy in public? What did I say?!” Her voice got louder as she spoke, and it was clear the girl wasn’t about to start crying. “Gosh, I’m... I’m so sorry about that. She didn’t hurt you did she?” The brunette questioned just before looking up and noticing who was standing in front of her. @greysonastor

BRIANNA.

“Hey,” Brianna started and held out her hand for the other person to see the tremors in her hand. “Do you see that?” she asked. “That’s the result of five cups of coffee and I can’t seem to stop drinking more.”

“Holy moly... wha—what are you thinking? Hmm? Seriously, we need to get the coffee away from you. If it’s energy you need, we can find you something else. This can’t be healthy. Have you not been sleeping or something?”

LANA.

“Have you ever missed something so much that you can feel it in your bones? Like your very soul is trying to tell you something?”

“Yeah, all the time, actually. Why? You feeling that way right now?”

AMBERLYN.

“I’ll give you twenty dollars if you pretend to be my significant other. It’s just, my mom is walking up this way and I can guarantee you the first question out of her mouth will be ‘why are you still single’ if she thinks that I’m actually single. I don’t have the time or energy for that conversation today.”

“First off, you don’t have to pay me anything, second... do you think she’ll fall for it? I’m all for playing the loving girlfriend, but I have a three-year-old hanging off my leg and you’re way, way too hot for me. But hey, if you think she’ll believe that you’ve settled for someone not as cute and has a kid, then let’s do it.”

Brennan: How do we wait two weeks between games for the super bowl every year? I wanna die.

Leyla: Oh come on, I'm sure we can find something for you to fill your time with.

Leyla: Hockey season is still going. Or watch old super bowls to prepare for this one? Or the new Punisher season came out and I gotta say, it's pretty great.

TABITHA.

“I accidentally activated my Bumble account –okay, it wasn’t accident; I was bored. Anyways, I activated it just for fun to swipe through all the duds with awful bios, but… This guys is kind of cute, right? Maybe I should actually consider it.”

“Maybe I’m biased but these things never work in my opinion. Not to be all negative nancy here, but from my experience, most of the people on these apps are just after sex—and I mean, if that’s what you’re looking for, then go for it and no judgment from me, but how many people do you know having a successful relationship after meeting through a free dating app?”
