dirty paws

the truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

Look who decided to drag their ass back to Palos. I saw your sister earlier, but I didn’t think I’d see you back. Stupid of me to think the Moore siblings would ever separate. Hey, who needs Mila Kunis when they’ve got unlimited drinks at the O’Connor villa? We have much catching up to do, brother. Didn’t know how much I missed you till now. How was Europe?

[nckmoore-blog]

MAN, I missed you. You know what I missed more? Unlimited drinks at the O’Connor villa. I’m gonna take you up on your offer, and I’m gonna say this.. you better have enough drinks, I’m ready to welcome myself home.

You were always handsome. Now it’s just - nevermind. Oh, you’ll live. You think it would but it doesn’t. And you couldn’t take me with you? What kind of a friend are you?

[nckmoore-blog]

YOU were always a mysterious little one, Pushkule. I see that hasn’t changed. What? Take you with me? You should have come! Could have bunked with Charlie, kept her company.. might have given me a little break. Next time, yeah? I think my parents want to go to Germany in a few months.. won’t you join us?

            “IF I SAY PASS DOES THIS MEAN THAT THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER?” Charlie mumbled as she elbowed her brother softly, before groaning. “What the hell is a double date Nicky? You’ve been watching too many chick flicks. Get out there, get laid, but don’t fall in love. You fall in love and I kill the bitch.” Her voice despite the threat was sweet a trait that she never would be, but pretending was all that more fun because of it. “—— Excuse you. I like old rich men, perhaps I’ll marry one that has terminal cancer and he’ll die in a year or two. Leaving me even wealthier than I’ll be once I inherit my trust fund. Money, Sex, Booze, Drugs, more money.. I think I’m good with that.”

[nckmoore-blog]

“SO, you’re saying I can never fall in love or you’ll kill the woman? Great, amazing, awesome.. ---- That’s just.. that’s disgusting, Char. Come on, you don’t really like old men, do you? Realistically, you want to fins someone a little closer to your age.. right? Maybe not one of my friends this time.”

A girl can change her mind. I used to think bangs were a good idea, then that turned into my awkward ugly phase. But you’re not totally wrong this time, if I haven’t punched you yet there’s a 95% chance it won’t happen. Note the 5% missing. 

[nckmoore-blog]

YEAH.. those bangs were not your best idea, but hey, you live and you learn. --That 5%? Doesn’t scare me, kid. I know you. You would never.

“Not everyone misses where they came from. Most people spend their life running from where they came from. Maybe I’ll feel differently if I were to leave.”

[nckmoore-blog]

“I think those people are lying to themselves. I’ve been around the world and back, and let let me tell ‘ya -- there’s no place like home.”

[valxn-blog]

“What can I say? I’m indecisive?” Val joked, her smile turning into one much softer and more genuine. She truly had missed both Nick and Charlie, just in different ways but the little ache in her heart they’d left behind them was dulling. “Come on, don’t just interrogate me. Tell me about what you’ve been up to all this time, Nicky!”

[nckmoore-blog]

“I was in Europe, like you’re aware.. spent most of my time chasing after the sister which I sure you could have guessed as well. Now, tell me about you, Val. What have I missed, I want to know everything.”

[kennedvs-blog]

I’m going to punch you in the nose one of these days, just you wait. 

[nckmoore-blog]

NO you won’t and you know you won’t -- if you were going to, you would have years ago. Just give me a hug instead.

[theawallace-blog]

           HUGGING HER BROTHER BACK, Charlie held on tight despite her usual games and attempts at annoying him if there was something the blonde feared it was exactly that her brother leaving her life forever. “Ugh, can we not dive into the subject of Taylor Swift again? She plays the same three chords and has a squeaky little voice. You wouldn’’t like her anyway Nicky. Trust me. —— But ditto you dork, I love you too.”

[nckmoore-blog]

“OH, I think I would like her.. I’d like her a lot.” Nick smiled, knowing the way to annoy his sister just the way she did him. “One day, you’ll see. I’ll bring home a pretty girl and you’ll love her. We’ll be the three best friends!” He pulled away from the hug, resting his arm around her shoulder. “We’ll go on double dates.. you’ll have a new sugar daddy by then, right? I’m sure it won’t take you very long now that we’re home. Palos is full of those old, rich men you seem to love so much.”

[lilcamden-deactivated20190307]

Yes! It is i! Lissandra Taylor Pushkule in the flesh. Thanks, Moore. You got handsome. It’s going well. Living the Palos Verdes life, you know? How were the years away? 

[nckmoore-blog]

I wasn’t handsome before? Talk about a blow to my ego, thanks a lot. -- I get it, Palos never changes. Ah, well.. spent most of the years in Europe. How could I complain?

[iohlaisms-deactivated20160616]

Nicholas, I’m twenty-two. I can’t believe this, I’m so old. I may as well buy myself a stroller and start dressing for comfort before my cankles get the better of me and I can’t walk anymore. — Did Europe drug you? Did you go to a cult? Did they put the power of Satan in you? Of course I want it now. I could barely wait this long, let alone ‘til midnight!

[nckmoore-blog]

YOU’RE only twenty-two? You really are a little one, aren’t you? --- Alright, alright. I won’t make you wait, despite the fact that I’d love to see the look on your face if I did. Here, no complaining, can’t take it back even if you don’t like it.. got it in France, no gift receipt. [ Nick hands Lily a picture of a street in Paris. ] We’ll have to go visit this summer.. seeing as this is your street. I had it named after you, there’s a sign and everything. [ He shows her another photo, with the sign in view -- clearly showing the Lily Ave sign. ]

[lilcamden-deactivated20190307]

– When life gives you lemons make lemonade but what if life gives you an entire fucking watermelon? I am livid.  Has anyone seen Sofia? Lily? Have they killed each other yet. I’m going to end up throwing myself off a building so tell them I love them. They can both have my shoes. One can have the right foot and the other can have the left foot. 

[nckmoore-blog]

LOOK who it is.. Lissandra, or do my eyes deceive me? I know it’s only been a few years but you’re even more beautiful than I remember. How’s it going? Other than carrying around that watermelon, that is.

[iohlaisms-deactivated20160616]

It’s my birthday, it’s my birthday, I’ma spend my moneyyyy… Except oh wait, no I’m not. You’ll be spending all your money on me! So, where’s my present? Is it good? Is it a teacup pig? A pony? I already have two but more will be accepted. Just remember, anyone who ‘forgot’ is NOT excused, Twitter has been your guide all week and your houses will receive some very horrible presents in the form of flames that will engulf them and burn you and your family if your gift doesn’t appear in my house in the next 24 hours. Kay?! Kay! Happy birthday to meeee, wooo!

[nckmoore-blog]

HAPPY birthday, little one. How old are ‘ya no? Thirty? Thirty-five? I can’t keep count. You’re gonna have to remind me, after all, I am an old man myself. You want your present now.. or later? I’m thinking later.. how cool would it be to open it right as the clock strikes midnight and your birthday ends?

[theawallace-blog]

          STILL POUTING CHARLIE SHOOK HER HEAD AND SNIFFLED. “No. No. Don’t hang out with me because you feel sorry for me. I don’t want your pity. It’s fine Nicky really. I’ll just find a new brother put an add out on craig’s list and get murdered by a serial killer. And then you’ll realize what an awful mistake you’ve made but it will be to late you won’t be able to get me back.”

[nckmoore-blog]

“CHARLIE..” Nick sighed, pulling his sister in for a tight hug. “Come on now, stop it. You know I love you, you know you’re my favorite. Let’s not make this a thing again.. remember last weekend on the plane? You got us kicked off with the little fit you threw and all because I mentioned I thought Taylor Swift was cute and you can’t stand the thought of another blonde in my life.”

[kennedvs-blog]

Yeah, I think I can agree that you’re wrong on this one. Okay but! You’re a better person than I am, we’ve already established this. That’s why you don’t brag, because you’re basically a saint and it’s a little bit annoying. Although I would say that was a humble brag there but… whatever. I actually don’t know, I’m just a smart ass who trains nonstop. Beats me. Maybe because I’m adorable and charming?

[nckmoore-blog]

ADORABLE and charming.. eh. I don’t know about that.

“I met Mila Kunis once, she punched me in the face. It was awesome.”

[nckmoore-blog]

“YOU serious? I envy you, dude. I do -- I would trade places with you in a second.. man, I wish Mila had punched me in the face..”

[theawallace-blog]

           "YOU… YOU TAKE THAT BACK. —-  That’s hurtful.” The blonde brought her hands to her face and a pout formed on her lips, tears in her eyes forming instantly. She had perfected crying on queue during her teenage years. “Trying to get rid of me? How dare you… Nick I will smother you in your sleep.”

[nckmoore-blog]

“ALRIGHT, we talked about this -- come on, Charlotte.. stop. You know I can’t deal with the tears.. STOP! God.. you’re the absolute worst. We don’t have to spend any time apart, alright? I promise.”

[valxn-blog]

“I didn’t want you back yet, just your sister. You can go back to your wild times in Europe if you want,” Val shrugged, playing it cool before breaking into a grin. “Kidding, you obviously came back to save me from this disgusting hell hole, right? I’ve been dying out here without my favourite siblings, I don’t like anyone else that much.”

[nckmoore-blog]

“OH.. so you go from you don’t want me back yet to I’m the favorite sibling? What’s the truth, Val? Let me know.. I’m waiting.”
