numb

the lower i get, the higher i'll climb and i will wonder why, i got dark only to shine. and i'll light up the sky, stars that burn the brightest. fall so fast and pass you by, puff like empty lighters.

viennadcvil:

a brunch with the dean would mark the first day in almost a week that vienna would show her face to the public, keeping herself occupied at kappa by finishing up projects weeks in advance, pulling numerous kappa meetings to discuss their society agenda, and other such activities to distract herself. the pristine kappa exterior hid a raging vienna that morning as she tore her room apart looking for a specific pair of heels. once downstairs (and having to compromise by putting on her pink pumps instead of signature reds) she met up with carmen and gave herself a quick check in the hallway mirror before linking arms with carmen and stepping out. no matter what trouble they had managed to get themselves into, you could always count on these two to enter battle with their war paint well in place. “remember, the dean can only get us in so much trouble” she muttered as they made their way to the car, keeping her eyesight locked on the door. as she entered she gave wesley a quick glance before looking over at carmen and scooting in further. “i’m sure i can be capable of some questionable deeds while out, but i doubt i’ve done anything worthy of the dean’s attention.” she gives ethan a quick smile and leans on the side of the seat, putting a face forward towards carmen and wesley the cold shoulder. “i have no sins plaguing my conscience.”  @ofcarmens

it was as if her makeup was conspiring against her this morning. the liquid eyeliner refused to align itself into a symmetric wing and carmen couldn’t be more irritated. perched on the edge of one of the breakfast stools in the kappa house, carmen gazed into a compact mirror worrying the end of the wing on her right eye with her finger hoping it would decide cooperate. once she heard vienna climbing down the stairs, however, she shut the mirror with a frustrated sigh and got up from the stool, linking arms with her friend and allowing her to lead them to the car. she was sure everyone was just on edge because of the meeting they had, however, she wished her entire academic career didn’t depend on this. “i’m sure we have all done more than just ‘questionable deeds’, i’m surprised he hasn’t called us into his office sooner” she replied as she climbed in the car after vienna. smiling warmly at ethan and wesley, she took a seat next to vienna, “good morning, you two, ready to meet our fate?” she turned back to vienna without waiting for their reply, “you may dress as an angel, vi, but trust me, you are far from.”  @ethens

“it’s not me, it’s you, love.” he chuckled, rolling his eyes playfully. “you really are hungover, huh? sober carmen would kick me out herself.” wesley teased, pulling his arm away from hers and folding his arms. “do you want me to take you out to breakfast and ask for heart shaped pancakes for you, carmen? that can be arranged if it’ll make up for the number of times you’ve been gracefully awoken to me in the house.”

“i would hate to go out to breakfast, you’d only aggravate my headache.” she replied as she got a cup from the cabinet and moved to the refrigerator to get a cool glass of water. “i’m just worried about the couch, you know? i’m scared it will start smelling like you. that is the absolutely last thing this place needs; your potent Ax spray stinking the whole place up.”

ellieshh:

“maybe not everything, but i know enough to be certain that you never drinking again is a huge lie,” she couldn’t wipe the grin from her face as carmen stood in front of her in her truest pouting state, like a four-year-old deprived of a cookie before dinner. “as much as i would love to see you have at it with her, i think you might lose that fight in your current state,” she laughed, straining to keep her voice down. “mm, the proposal is always a good one. or crazy, stupid, love,” she sighed and pulled an hdmi chord out of her backpack, “or if you really want, even though i’m not a big fan, we can take the classic notebook route.” ellie rested her head on top of carmen’s momentarily, feigning an over-sympathetic tone, “you poor baby.” she stood up and hooked the hdmi chord to the tv, and turned to carmen. “on second thought, maybe we’ll just stick with saltines and gatorade until the threat of throwing up on ellie is gone. i’ve already had that happen once this week. no need for round two.” 

“i can change, ellie,” she repeated matter-of-factly, but certainly less confident in her words this time. She thought about the movie options for a moment, “i think i’ll go with crazy, stupid, love.” she stated finally, “watching steve carrell’s misfortunes will probably lighten my mood. and then maybe i’ll think about writing my paper afterwards.” she nodded sarcastically at the other girls fake sympathy, “why do you find this so amusing? what if i were an alcoholic, huh? would i still be hilarious to you then?” she couldn’t even get out the full statement before she started giggling, with protest from her headache, at the image of ellie getting a lapful of puke. “it must suck to be the mom friend, huh ellie? you should come out with me tomorrow night. i don’t know if caught on earlier, but i was totally exaggerating when i said i’d never go out again.”

who are u most jealous of and why

people who have it all. i think we all know why.

[ofcarmens]

what is the color of love to you?

blue… like the eye color. or maybe pink, because of valentine’s day. i’ve never actually been in love so i’m probably wrong.

[ofcarmens]

are you still crushing on wesley?

was i ever? where’d you hear that? it seems like the rumor mill is up and running again.

[ofcarmens]

if you had to choose someone who would you want to be in a relationship with?

someone who’s sweet. i’m done with fuckboys. if you know anyone that fits the bill, give them my number.

[ofcarmens]

what are your honest opinion on vienna and wesley together?

I honestly think they’re so cute together, but they’re kinda a rollercoaster and it tends to give me motion sickness so I try not to be too involved. I love them both though.

wesleycaro:

having slept over at the sorority house last night, wesley chuckled as carmen made her way down the stairs. sat in the sofa with his legs propped up and his bare arms hanging off the sides, wes chimed, “oh look. sleeping beauty finally left her bed.” he smirked, his eyes glancing at her attire. “and miss another second without being in my presence? what sorcery.” wes teased, pushing himself out of the sofa to walk towards the hungover girl. throwing his arm over her shoulder, he lead her to the kitchen, “we can have breakfast together, car-car!” he laughed, enlightening the mood that she was in.

carmen shook her head groggily, “can you not be so loud, or is it just in your nature.” she stopped and thought for a moment, “or is it me?” she asked, partially to herself. her thoughts wandered for a moment, but brought them back to the noisy boy leading her into the kitchen, “and how many times have you stayed at the kappa house in the past month alone? i’m gonna call campus security on you. you’re eating all of our food.”

[ofcarmens]

ellieshh:

“mm, how many times have i heard that line?” ellie tapped a pen at her bottom lip, not even bothering to look up from her spot on kappa’s couch. after a few more moments of silence, she finally looked up, grinning at carmen in a rare, disheveled state. “tell me you didn’t turn to buzzfeed listicle’s in a tempt for a fast cure for a hangover,” she said, tilting her head to the side just barely. hungover carmen was a girl ellie knew quite well; living together freshman year got them acquainted very quickly. “you know, macy might not appreciate a limp body blocking her yoga mats,” she said, bringing up kappa’s notorious health nut. she moved her notebooks and backpack to the coffee table and patted the soft cushion next to her, “c’mon. i’ll pull the curtains closed and put on a movie or something.” she rested her chin in her hand, “and if you ask really nicely, i’ll get you something to eat– if you’re feeling up to stomaching it.” 

carmen put her cup of tea down and threw her hands up, “you don’t know everything about me, ellie, i can change.” she pouted and crossed her arms in the typical carmen fashion, except now her words came out slower and her eyes somewhat droopy. “and i don’t care what macy appreciates, i’ll fight her, headache and all.” she replied boldly, however allowed the girl to persuade her into taking a seat. “i’ll only watch a movie if it has ryan gosling or ryan reynolds.” she slumped onto the girls shoulder, allowing her hungover state to get the best of her, as she usually did. “you know i’ll never turn down food, el, what kinda question was that. but i may through up on you, no promises though.”

carmen is here so u KNO vienna has to make an appearance ;-)

bae come through lmao

[ofcarmens]

“ugh, i’m so tired of partying. i’m never going out again, mark my words.” carmen complained in regards to her raging headache. the tea wasn’t helping either, although countless ‘home remedies for a hangover’ articles listed it as a foolproof cure. nor was the glare of the twelve o’clock sun helping and she was seriously questioning her decision to get out of her comfy bed this morning. maybe it was the dire need to expel every ounce of alcohol in her body into her waste basket. clad in Hollister sweatpants, oversized t-shirt, and house slippers, she was sure she looked like death to the other person and everyone around her, but the need to care had evaded her. “i think i’m going to go to the meditation room and sleep in there for the rest of the day. what do you think?”
