“You are amazingˆ,” she clasped her hands together as a large smile overtook her lips. Hannah was almost done with teaching her first full year in Fallbrook and she wanted to continue to make a good impression on the students, parent’s and school staff. The last thing she wanted was for complaints to filter through and for her to have to leave Fallbrook. The small town had quickly become her home in more ways than one. “I’m so glad we have become friends,” she smiled softly over at him. There was no shortness of genuineness coating her words. “I am doing good, yeah,” she nodded her head, “I’m really looking forward to all the festivities upcoming this spring and summer.”

...

Marcos chuckled. “I appreciate that,” he had been doing pretty much everything he could to keep a certain Morrison off his mind and if that meant volunteering for anything that came across his lap then so be it plus this was for a good cause and he knew it would excite the kids. He smiled as he leaned his arms down against the surface of the table. “You going to tell me what’s really going on inside of that head of yours, Sanderson? You are only half telling the truth right now.”

The desire for normality in her life was growing stronger each day. Why couldn’t her parents be average? Why couldn’t she be like the other girls? It wasn’t regret for becoming who she truly was, but the absolute disdain for keeping up appearances in front of the entire town of Fallbrook, knowing they were on the edge of losing everything due to their inability to get along. “We’ll see..” with a slow nod, she bit her bottom lip and rolled her shoulders back some. “How have you been?”

...

Marcos let his eyes rest on her, tilting his head to the side a little as he reached out. His hand gently resting on top of hers, brushing his thumb along her knuckles briefly before pulling back and wrapping his hand around his glass. “Well... Whatever you need. I can help.” He said as he turned his head to look back at his drink, picking it up and bringing it to his lips. “Doin’ fine.” Although not seeing Abigail the last few months, things being weird with Tia because she lied to him and trying to work through everything in therapy... It was a lot. “Looking forward to the Cherry Blossom Festival.”

Marcos had been feeling like a shit brother lately after Tia ripped him a new one a few months ago. He still was side stepping her at every turn because she didn’t want to admit what had happened between her and Abi. He shoved his hands into his pockets, walking along the sidewalk path when his head lifted up to see... no way. He broke out into a grin and pulled his hands out his pockets, jogging to close the distance between them. “Penny?!” He laughed, swiping her off her feet and spinning around as he gave her a bear hug. “What the hell? How is this the first time I’m seeing you?”

MARCOS REYES | CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL 2022

“That would be absolutely amazing,” she clasped her hands together in front of her, “the more the merrier, I think the kids would really enjoy it. No, I know they would. I have a lot of little boys and girls that dressed up as cops and firefighters for Halloween. I know they’re still young but I think it’s good to get them involved in things they might want to do early on.” Hannah had been involved in education from a young age, learning from her closest friend and mentor, Jane. “I can see that,” she nodded her head, “I am hoping that this continues to make a good impression on them to get me in their good graces.” She smiled at Marcos with his words, “I know, but I’m still going to thank you anyway,” she hummed in response. 

...

There were already a few people he had in mind of asking and the paramedic he would ask to help him recruit those individuals. “You got it, Hannah. I’ll compile a list for you once I have gotten the answers from the people I want to ask.” He told her, knowing he could invite some other professions like business owners, newscasters and all sorts. “Well we will get a bunch of people together so they can know what really helps build a community.” He knew without most of the hard-working Fallbrook citizens they wouldn’t have half the stuff they did. “You’re doing great. Don’t doubt yourself.” He smiled. “How are you other than all of that?”

Becky had her lips poke out as she listened to Marcos speak. It was a sub-conscious move because she was still a tad tipsy and he had a captivating way of speaking. She wished that everyone would have the same level of patience that he clearly did for her. “I think you’re probably one of the only people who doesn’t think I’m a spoiled bitch with a shit attitude.” she spoke candidly as she tucked her hair behind her ears with a shake of her head and sigh. “Anyway, I need to move out… and find a place.. to totally get away from my parents.”

...

Marcos turned his head to look over at her, cupping his hands around the glass in front of him. “I think we all have demons we face despite our... class.” It was the best way he could describe it but it wasn’t that long ago where his parents had been well off until his father blew it up. He brought his glass up to his lips, taking a sip of it as he kept his eyes on her. “Maybe that will be the best thing for you. Nothin’ wrong with being on your own.” He remained at home to help keep the roof over his mother’s head.

“Do you want me to stop?” The thing about Marcos was, they hadn’t really waded into deeper waters beyond a late night escape. They flirted back and forth, a dance she loved to do. Though it wasn’t that she didn’t want to get to know him better, she just wasn’t sure what he wanted out of this so she just tended to stick to the status quo. Her eyes narrowed as his response, deciding she should try. The woman leaned down against the table, eyeing ball as released it attempting to make a shot. Pool wasn’t really her game so she’d missed though, not by much. “Why did we decide on games and bets to settle this? Games are silly–for kids.” A tinge of sexual frustration laced her excuse for the missed shot as she huffed.

...

“No.” Marcos voice was soft, tilting his head to the side as he watched her. Maybe he shouldn’t be openly flirting with someone else while pining for another woman, a woman who had embedded herself into his brain and the likelihood of the two of them ever becoming a thing was slim to none if Tia had a say in it. Plus he knew Abi still had conflicting feelings for Jay and as much as the officer didn’t like the man it seemed like he was trying to work on himself. At least in the short amount of interactions he had with the Hawkins man it sure seemed like it. A low chuckle left his lips as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Isn’t that the fun part? The chase?”

“Oh, really?” Her brows raised, eyes widening as he mentioned being able to get a few others to come into the school for career day. “That would be amazing, Marcos,” she clasped her hands together in front of her. “I don’t know if it’s cause I’m a new teacher and the parent’s haven’t totally accepted me yet or what, but I feel like no one really signed up so I am scrambling last minute.” And it was not a feeling Hannah liked to have. “I owe you, whatever you want. Drinks, dinner, whatever.” Hannah said, smiling at him. “And your friends. I’ll buy them all drinks too. I don’t think my teacher salary would allow us all dinner but drinks, definitely.”

...

“Yeah.” Marcos chuckled. “As much as television shows like to say it’s cops against the firefighters in this town we try to get together as often as we can. I’m sure I could pull a few strings and get them to come to the career day.” After the fireman’s ball last year, the emergency teams all agreed to have each other’s backs no matter what. He lifted his eyes up towards her as he shook his head. “The parents will accept you. Some people always side-eye the new people in town especially with how much bigger it’s getting.” He shook his head at her words with a smile on his features. “You don’t owe me anything, Hannah. I’m happy to do it.”

Ruby gave the officer a grateful smile when he picked up the books she dropped. “Thanks, Marcos.” she released a sigh rolling her eyes at the thought of his question. “Well, a little bit of both. “ she explained. She stepped back to let the people she had cut off in line pay and muttered an apology again.  She gestured top her stack of books and shrugged “Who knew that Curious George was a bad influence? Or that having Barbie dolls in a daycare perpetuates gender role stereotypes and give girls unrealistic body goals?” she sighed. “Not that I totally disagree with that last one, as an adult. But as a kid, I had suitcases full of them, and didn’t care about any of that.”

...

Marcos gave her a smile as he nodded his head. “Of course,” he held the plastic bag in his hand, turning his head to look over at the woman. Pressing his lips together at the woman’s words about what was going on at the daycare with the books and toys she had. “I wouldn’t know a single thing about any of that. I don’t spend any time with kids and I’m not a parent.” He chuckled. “If you need any help though with anything. Just let me know I can get stuff donated if you want.”

It wasn’t common for Rebecca to confide in Marcos at all. More often than not she was simply living her life on a separate trajectory from him. They were friends at least and because he didn’t know every little detail of her life and everything she was going through, he could offer a somewhat unbiased view on her thoughts. “My mom hates me, Marcos.. she won’t even look in my direction. My father acts like he doesn’t see anything, Maria is a bitch who goes along with everything our mother says… I’m just tired.” her rant had finally begun, tears finally lining her typically very dry eyes. “I went off on  Stevie when she really didn’t deserve it and Javier hates me because I kept a secret from him that I should have stayed out of in the first place. I’m fucking tired.”

...

Marcos kept his gaze on the woman next to him, listening to each word that left her mouth. Sometimes he wondered if every family started out good and went downhill. Life had a way of kicking people down and it was something he had learned a lot the last few years. He brushed his tongue along his lower lip as he cupped the glass between his hands. “I doubt people hate you,” he said softly, glancing over at her. “Stevie will forgive you if you talk to her and I’m sure Javier just needs some time to understand why you did what you did. No one ever understands someone until they are forced to walk a mile in their shoes.”

Rebecca, like anyone else in the world had her fair share of ups and downs. It seemed as though her life decided to take an express downward plummet as of recently though and she was growing physically tired. It had begun to show as her fashion was falling off, her hair didn’t have that perfect wave she spent hours putting into it every morning and her makeup was nearly gone. Some would say she was starting to look ill, but it was definitely just the lack of sleep and carelessness in which she’d been applying her makeup that was causing the look. All she wanted was for her mother to love her, her cousin to forgive her for keeping such a secret and for Stevie to understand where she was coming from. If anyone deserved an apology from the bunch, it was Stevie and Becky was well aware. 

As she took what was probably her fourth drink to the head, she looked over at the person beside her at the bar with a clearly under the influence smile and tilted her head to one side. “You know… I work so hard for my family to get along..” Who exactly did she think she was fooling? Anyone who knew the de la Fuente’s would know that Rebecca was often part of the problem and her sister was always there to fix it. But let’s blame it on the four lemon drops she consumed within an hour. “And I just feel like…. they don’t appreciate my hard work. Don’t they understand that I am… the star of the family? I can’t get stress lines!”

[marcosreyes]

Marcos turned his head to look over at woman sitting next to him, pressing his lips together as she began to start talking about her family. Inhaling, the male nodded his head at her words. “I think we all play a hand in trying to make sure we keep our families together.” He told her as he brushed his tongue along his lower lip, picking up his drink and bringing it up to his lips, taking a sip of it. “Do you want to talk more about it?”

Open Starter: @fallbrookstarters​

Location: The Book Cafe

Ruby had spent the last hour in the store, trying to find wholesome books that parents wouldn’t complain about - she didn’t believe politics had any place in a daycare center - to update their collection. When she finally decided that she needed to stop she made her way to the front counter very cautiously. “Excuse me..” she tip toed past the person in line before her. “Hi. Sorry, I’m not butting, I swear. I just…need to put these down somewhere.” she felt a few slip from her grip but felt attempting to catch them was not a good idea.

...

Marcos held a few books in his hand, maybe it was time to find something else to do with his time as he kept his mind of Abigail. He lifted his eyes up towards the voice, muttering excuse me. He reached down to start grabbing the books that fell onto the floor. He put them on the counter, lifting his eyes up to look at the woman. “It seems like you needed a restock at the daycare again, Ruby.” He teased. “Those kids rip up more books or is it the parents this time?”

Chloe reached across to nudge Marcos playfully at the joke, clearly amused. “Oh the things you endure for this friendship!” she teased, “Did they make any jokes or was it just those smiling looks?” she asked knowing he heard quite a few jokes over the years. They were always appreciated by her though some were more clever than most. Chloe listened intently and nodded along as he spoke. She’d known he’d had feelings for Abi but figured it was in the past. She had to remind herself that not everyone was like her, all fleeting feelings and crushes, never letting anyone close enough to care for in such a way. “Yea I remember,” she mused remembering being glad that Abi had been able to convince him to go. Maybe she should’ve noticed something then at the very least. “Aren’t her and Jay like…” she trailed waving a hand to indicate over. Again she’d been so busy with work and classes all her info came mostly from eavesdropping. “No it doesn’t sound stupid, complicated yes but not stupid.” It was odd, how she understood Tia’s stance but also Marcos. “That’s tough…but I do think you should tell Abi how you feel. I know Tia can be tough but ultimately she cares about your happiness.” she offered as advice hoping it was the least bit helpful.

...

Marcos leaned down against the counter, chuckling. “All the jokes in the world came out of their mouths. Ones I have heard a million and three times.”  He teased as he let his eyes focus on the woman in front of him, glancing down towards the counter as he thought about the crush he had on Abi for years. “They broke up,” he cleared his throat. “And then she came over to my house... One thing led to another and we hooked up... started hanging out.” He lifted his eyes up towards her as he exhaled. “Tia caught her leaving and came in to rip me a new one. Told me I was being selfish and if I love her then I won’t see Abigail anymore so I have hard time believing that she cares about my happiness.”

Hannah nodded her head as she took her shot on the dart board, missing the mark on which she wanted. “Yeah, that’s exactly what it is.” She said with a smile as she stepped to the side to make room for his turn. When it came to career week, she was falling short in the parent’s that wanted to come forward and wanted a diverse variety. “No, no you do not,” she laughed softly with his tease. “it is welcome to anyone and everyone, so that’s why I’m asking you. We don’t have any officers coming in and I know the kids will love it.” 

...

Marcos let his eyes rest on the woman in front of him and the male waited patiently for her to tell him about all the information. “No officers are coming to the thing? Have you been able to get any firefighers or paramedics in? I know a few people who would probably love to come in and talk to the kids as well especially about fire safety. Safety is extremely important.” He asked as he brought his cup up to his lips, taking a sip of it.

Rori echoed him as she licked her own lips, eyeing his butt as he leaned over the table to take his shot, making a point of dropping her head as she did so. “Hmm, oh sorry, I got distracted. How many did you get in?” Her eyes blinked innocently. Rori leaned against her stick for a moment before taking her shot. Though she did want this game to go as fast as humanly possible, she needed some information from him first. “And all of this handling I’ll need to be doing, is this something I get if I win, or lose. I need to know how hard I have to try.”

...

Marcos turned his head to look over his shoulder, noticing the way she was watching him. “Are you objectifying me?” He mused as he brushed his tongue along his lower lip as he stood up straight, taking a few steps away from the table as he let his eyes shift over towards her. “I don’t know.” He chuckled lowly. “What would be the fun in letting you get it easily?” He teased as he tilted his head to the side, watching her as she took her next shot.

Marcos shoved his hands into his pockets as he stood in front of the dart board next to Hannah, listening to her idea about him coming in for career week. “Isn’t that when the parents go in and talk about their careers?” He asked, turning his head to look over at her. “Don’t I have to be a father for that?” He teased, thinking about when he had parent career week at school and how excited he had been for his parents to come in and talk about their careers. At least more with his mother than his father especially since it was around the time his dad lost his job and used their house for his gambling addiction.
