breathing in snowflakes

Olivia Childs. Liv, please. 23. Aspiring model. Don't judge me based on my nerdy past. 

[stephanie-hart]

OK then… if you change your mind and want help figuring it out, hit me up.

[livchilds]

I wouldn’t wait by the phone.

[stephanie-hart]

It’s a part of you. It shouldn’t matter to anyone else, but it should matter to you.

[livchilds]

Well it doesn’t.

[stephanie-hart]

You should know who you are.

[livchilds]

I know who I am. Olivia Childs. 23 year old aspiring model. I don’t see why my sexuality matters to anyone, let alone you.

[stephanie-hart]

Then do it sober.

[livchilds]

... Why does it matter.

[stephanie-hart]

And?

[livchilds]

It was at a party, I was drunk and I barely remember it.

[stephanie-hart]

Have you kissed a girl or anything?

[livchilds]

Yes. I have.

[stephanie-hart]

I’m just saying, if you can’t change it, learn to love it… trust me, I’ve been in your boat before.

[livchilds]

I’m not sure if I‘m gay to begin with.

[stephanie-hart]

Exactly.

[livchilds]

... Did you want something?

[stephanie-hart]

Why care?

[livchilds]

It’s not something I can turn off.

[stephanie-hart]

Why hide it?

[livchilds]

I’m not really big on people frowning down at me for who I am.

[stephanie-hart]

Well are you gay?

[livchilds]

I don’t know. Maybe.

[stephanie-hart]

Beard?

[livchilds]

The guy I’m dating to keep people from thinking I’m gay.

[livchilds]

well, you’re fucked when your beard was caught making out with his boyfriend.

[stephanie-hart]

Looking out at the dance floor, Steph caught glimpse of Liv, biting her lips when she saw the girl’s eyes on her.

[livchilds]

The guy was kissing down her neck when Liv smirked, fingers tangling in his hair. 

[stephanie-hart]

Steph was lost in the music at this point, her body moving with the music even though she claimed she didn’t dance.

[livchilds]

Liv settled on someone’s lap, kissing them but paying more attention to Steph.

[stephanie-hart]

Steph couldn’t help but laugh. Now she remembered why she didn’t party. Starting to feel uncomfortable, she made her way to where the guy was DJing, asking if she could take over for a few songs.

[livchilds]

Liv pulled away after hearing the music stop for a song, turning to see Steph DJing, biting her lip.

[stephanie-hart]

Steph kept watching her, crossing her arms over her chest.

[livchilds]

After a moment, Liv found someone new to make out with, cup spilling on the floor.
