the attack had taken its toll on riley. while they hadnât been there themself, almost everyone they cared about had been â and almost all of them had gotten hurt. feeling guilty that they were even thinking about complaining, riley knew that it was much worse for the ones who were still in hospital. after some sleep and making sure saiya was okay, hux had texted them â not so subtly mentioning that elliott might want some company. figuring it was the least they could do, especially with how el had always been willing to led them her expertise, riley made their way back to the hospital. bursting into elâs room, riley dropped the three notebooks they had carried under their arm onto the side table and plastered on their best smile. âso â please tell me whatever it was didnât chomp on the part of your brain that knows music.âÂ
âhello, welcome, please come in, did you bring snacks?â el listed off with a surprised chuckle as riley entered her hospital room and dropped some notebooks down on the side table. âyou okay, kid?â she asked, despite knowing that riley was an adult, it didnât stop them from being 19 years younger than her. and as such âkidâ. her eyes flickered over to the notebooks before gliding back to riley. she chuckled. âplease, itâs in my bones. youâd have to do a lot more than drag me around by the collar by your claws,â she uttered. âso what have you got for me?â she asked.
barreling down one of the hospital hallways, hux had one thing in mind â el. while they hadnât been together for a while â she was still one of the most important people in his life â and one of his best friends. not to mention the mother of his children. she had to be okay. he needed her to be okay. the second the call came through from the hospital, hux had made sure to put mathew in a cab and made him promise to text him when he got home before making his way to the hospital. at least mathew would be safe that way â whatever was going on in the dark had done enough damage as it was.
hux had already found the kids and placed them with his mom when one of the nurses finally figured out where his ex was. it didnât take long for him to make his way to her room, soon skidding to a stop in the doorway. as soon as he laid eyes on her, he sighed a breath of relief, seeing that she seemed to be â somewhat okay at least. she was breathing, and at this point â that was more than he had expected. âelliott.âÂ
sheâd had her eyes closed when huxâs familiar voice entered her room. but she hadnât been sleeping, she was struggling to do that, despite the crushing fatigue she felt. a smile cracked upon her lips before her eyes fluttered open. âhey,â she croaked before she tried to sit up a little more. however, the plumped pillows below her bandaged back didnât leave much room for moment. probably done purposefully so that she didnât irritate or reopen any of the wounds on her back. her right wrist ( the dominant one that she did everything with ) was also bandaged up, but was luckily just a sprain. she turned her head to look at her ex-partner, who was somehow her best friend now and it felt so much better than when theyâd been together romantically. âwhere are the kids?â she asked first of all. theyâd been separated in triage, after it was established the kids were physically okay, but el wasnât. âdid you give them a squeeze from me?â she asked, her tone pitching a little higher than it usually would. the blonde exhaled heavily, pitching her eyes upwards to the ceiling and blinking away tears that began forming in her eyes.
âyou should see the other guy,â she joked, although it didnât quite hit.

          abby  always  thought  about  how  her  life  turned  around  since  she  had  arrived  in  town  .  feeling  happy  was  not  something  she  had  been  used  to  in  quite  a  WHILE  and  she  owed  it  deeply  to  the  people  who  surrounded  her  daily  .  it  was  a  good  thing  not  to  feel  like  the  divorcee   (  even  though  there  was  no  divorce  actually  in  sight  for  her  )   or  to  feel  like  someone  whose  life  had  to  fall  apart  for  her  to  find  her  way  around  .  it  was  almost  strange  the  whole  feeling  good  ordeal  ,  and  yet  ,  there  she  was  .  the  full  moon  fest  helped   ââ   she  wasnât  gonna  lie   ââ   but  it  was  more  than  that  .
          walking  around  where  the  fest  was  being  had  ,  abby  watched  from  afar  as  the  children  ran  around  ,  mouths  covered  in  chocolate  and  powdered  sugar  ,  and  desperate  parents  after  them  .  the  scene  inevitably  tugged  at  her  heart  .  thankfully  ,  though  ,  as  her  eyes  wondered  ,  her  lips  widened  in  a  smile  at  the  sight  of  a  known  blonde  whom  she  decided  to  approach  without  a  second  thought  .    â    i  was  wondering  where  you  were  ,    â    she  greeted  elliot  with  a  brief  hug  and  a  kiss  to  the  cheek  ,  she  doesnât  remember  when  she  last  had  felt  this  comfortable  around  a  friend  ,  definitely  not  back  in  washington  .    â    are  you  having  fun  ?  where  are  the  kiddos  ?  grandma  asked  me  if  theyâd  be  around  and  told  me  to  tell  you  to  absolutely  have  them  indulging  in  just  about  every  food  available.  â
it was a usual sight to see el with either kid around her or near, but at this precise moment, she stood alone, watching a ride as it went around. the delighted screams of children and adults alike ( she was sure she heard some less than delighted screams also ) shot past, loud and intense one moment, and quiet as it turned the corner. el's eyes flickered away for a second, and as such fell upon abby. a fond smile sat on her lips as the other woman approached.
"you found me," she told her, holding her arms out to say 'i'm here?' and then wrapping them around her friend for a hug. she chuckled, her blonde hair bobbing as she nodded her head. "yeah, I am. it's not bad," she admitted. she pointed to the ride in front of them. "on the coaster. jax insisted on taking beau. something about responsibility and independence? i don't know-- i think they're winding up to asking me and hux something they think we'll say no to, so they're demonstrating how trustworthy they are," she told abigal. her words were followed by a warm smile. "it was sweet actually. i just hope what they ask is something we can say yes too or think about at least," she added. el laughed at abby's words about grandma. "well of course i am, you tell her, i just knew i'd be instructed to. i'm ahead of the game today," she said with a wink.
Why did bars never have a fucking menu? She had no idea what was in a margarita or what on the rocks meant â her experience with alcohol was limited to the beers she stole from her dadâs garage fridge and shots of jaegar and cheap vodka in whichever of her friendsâ dorms were furthest from the RA. She needed a nice menu that said what was in what and what certain types of alcohol tasted like. Â
Usually she just got a beer. They all tasted lowkey disgusting, but at least she knew what to expect. Today she was tired of lukewarm piss though, so she turned to the nearest person who looked older enough than she was to have sufficient bar experience. Without really looking at them she let out a profound sigh.  âWhat the hell is amaretto? Or a Long Island Iced Tea? Iâm from New York, let me tell you â thereâs not a lot of iced tea drinking going on.â
laughter tumbled from her lips before she turned to look at the woman close by. her nose wrinkled a little as she smiled. "amaretto is a sweet liquoir made from almonds most of the time," she answered first. "which is gross," she added afterwards. okay, so that was personal preference but oh well. "and a long island iced tea is... five different spirits, lemon juice, shaken, and poured, or 'layered' over cola. it's actually quite nice. but a more tangy taste." she explained.
elliott was actually quite partial to a long island iced tea. but if you had a sweet tooth, you were better off chosing something else ( and not amaretto! ). "are you struggling to choose something?" she asked.
âyou guys be good for mama, hey?â hux all but yelled as the kids made their way into their motherâs home. it was a welcome thing that they seemed to be just as excited to be there as they did whenever they came around his place. the last thing he wanted was for the kids to be choosing sides â especially when there was no sides to pick. el was still one of the most important people in huxâs life, and he was sure it would stay that way forever. thankfully, it seemed like the kids knew that too. âhow you holdinâ up?â he smiled when he laid eyes on elliott, soon making his way over to her and planting a kiss on her head. âjax has a spanish test on monday, so just â keep an eye on that. and i finally signed beau up for ice hockey. they start in two weeks. heâs been out of his mind about it. so we need to get him some pads and stuff.â
the thundering of feet across hardwood floors caught elliott's attention. she'd been leant against the kitchen island, reading through a setlist for her next show. but upon the sound of her children's entrance into her home, she'd pulled herself up and moved to greet them. a chuckle pushed past her lips as jax came flying in, long limbs trying to coordinate with one another, beau not far behind with pictures he'd painted clutched in his hands.
"and when are they not?" she asked, a jest. she took beau's pictures and ruffled his hair with her hand. "my god bud, my fridge isn't gonna have any space left at the rate these masterpieces are being created," she told him. she was rewarded with a giggle.
"go on, put your stuff in your rooms," she told them.
"hey hux," she greeted her ex with a smile, snaking an arm around his waist to side hug him when he leaned in. "alive and thriving," she joked. an old thing she'd always said, even when it wasn't true. but she didn't say it with any underlying tone today. "why'd they have to pick spanish when we speak french and italian?" she said. "i'll make tacos and we'll make it the theme of the weekend," she decided. that was a fun way to impose revision on her child right? el smiled. "he's been talking about that for weeks. i'm just dreading the first bloody nose or missing tooth. we should add decked out first aid kit to that list," she admitted.
In spite of her meteoric rise to fame, Samantha was always a family gal. In fact, the only reason sheâd come to this resort was at the behest of her mother, who felt that Sam needed to follow her gut regarding the whole Evangeline debacle. So, ever the dutiful daughter, she found herself dropping her bags off and running to the nearest sweet shop she could find. Her entire family had a penchant for sweets, so Samantha had a decent idea of what they might like. Sheâd already nabbed some pralines for herself and her dad, but she was overwhelmed with choice for her mother.
Sheâd been rifling through the shelves when another person entered her peripheral vision. Turning to them, she gave them her brightest grin as she asked, âIâm so sorry to bother you, but could I ask for your opinion? Iâm gettinâ some sweets for my folks back home and Iâm a bit overwhelmed with choice. Do you happen to have a favorite among all of these goodies?
el looked up at the sound of another voice. beau, her son, was clinging to one of her legs with one arm, and was elbow deep in a sweet jar with his other. someone asked for help. she wasn't sure how helpful she could be, sweets were a personal preference weren't they? it took her a moment to register that the fact she was looking back at was familiar, more familiar for someone who was a stranger to el. and then it took her a moment longer for the name and context.
"samantha parks, right? what are you doing around here?" she asked with a smile. el didn't tend to get starstruck, but that was probably due to the fact she'd been in the public eye herself when she was younger. but she did get a kick out of it. it reminded her of when she'd met wynona ryder on a talk show.
"as for sweets, i'm sure beau and i could help with that. do your folks have any particular likes or dislikes?" she asked.

BIOGRAPHY
TW: DEATH MENTION TW: INFIDELITY
el was born in montreal in canada to tobias and eloise evans. she is the eldest of three girls, all of whom have, for lack of a better phrase, boys names. this wasn't because her father had wanted boys and never got them, or anything like that. just simply that her parents were a little alternative and wanted strong names that were a bit different and made their girls stand out.
for the first four years of her life, she and her parents lived in a van and followed bands around on their canadian and american tours. this stopped when el's paternal grandfather grew sick and needed extra help.
the family moved to taos, new mexico just as elliott was moving into her last year of middle school. they moved for a warmer climate for her grandfather and his health, but mostly because there was a good doctor in colorado.
el joined pretty much any club that was about music, or performing when at school, and took any opportunity to practice and hone her craft. obsessed didn't quite cover it. music was in her bones, and writing helped her understand and work through her emotions.
el met hux when she came to taos, but they only really got to know each other in highschool. high-school sweethearts, is what other's called them.
when they broke up, el was gutted, but it did lead to amazing song material, and eventually an amazing song, which started the band she was in, off-piste's journey to stardom.
el went to college at usc which is where she met and off-piste was created. upon graduation they had a good following in california and were spotted by an agent.
off-piste gained representation and began gig-ing, and recorded an ep, which caught alight when the title song was played on the radio and later asked to be in a popular film of that year.
off-piste recorded a full album and began touring. this eventually lead to international fame and acclaim. they did world tours.
the tragic loss of a bandmate lead to the bands ending and el moved back home, with plans of putting out her own music once she'd come to terms with the loss of her friend and ending of her legacy. however, she reunited with hux and the pair became an item once again. this time, it was more serious, and more fun. they were adults now. and magnetic to one another. it seemed like neither could get enough of the other and this lead to their first child, jax. however, as fun as their relationship could be, it was also problematic and flawed. unhealthy for the pair. hux travelled a lot with his snowboarding and honestly, if he hadn't they'd probably have separated far earlier.
however, they had a briefly reunited when hux came back to town in retirement which is how beau came to be. but it finally became apparent that they weren't destined to be and much better as friends.
they've had the occasional backslide every now and then when they've been lonely or wanting something familiar and comfortable.
a few years after beau was born, el was asked to host a show on a local radio station; them believing she'd bring in new listeners. she accepted because music had been lost for a little while in her life and she missed it.
it became popular locally before picking up interest online.
HEADCANONS
el has an extensive doc marten collection, you'll very very rarely see her in any other footwear.
during hux's travelling for snowboarding and amongst the rumors of infidelity and one night stands, el had an affair ( though hux and she never married ) which started out emotionally before becoming physical. however, she ended it just before hux came home as she developed insomnia from guilt.
she still suffers from bouts of insomnia but mostly when she is stressed or worried about something.
enjoys snowboarding and it was a thing she used to do with hux, but prefers a hike or a lounge in a hot tub these days.
released one solo album after her bandmate died, which was a response to her grief and healing from it.
favourite band is led zepplin.
she actually majored in sound design at the usc school of dramatic arts.
still has complicated feelings about the person she was had an affair with.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
bandmates from off-piste ( 0/2 )
ex who she had affair eith ( 0/1 ) whether they're still friendly or there are still feelings there is totally utp. they may hate el for breaking things off.
