All good things must come to an end...

and, unfortunately, my time in this rp is one of them. Don't get me wrong, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I'll miss you all so much and my characters, but, honestly, it's time to let it go. With exams drawing ever closer and the amount of free time I have decreasing - seemingly - exponentially, I just don't have enough time to dedicate to this rp anymore. I've been thinking about this for a while and, although I'm very good at procrastinating, I know that I need to prioritise school and exams right now. I'm sorry to all those who I had ongoing plots with, and I'm sorry to spring this on you all, but it really is time to move on. I have made a lot of good friends here and I'll remember this rp fondly; please, don't hesitate to hit me up for a chat - preferably after June ;) - but I need to focus my energy on school now. Thank you for being so great! <3

What is something you are looking forward to?

I don’t know. Is there even anything to look forward to, anymore? Getting out of Deering, I guess. Getting my GED… maybe.

[liammarseilles]

If you ever need anything, you know where to find me. He’s…he’s hanging in there like a champ.

[oliver-jacobson]

Yeah. If.

Good. If you ever need someone to take him off your hands for a day, you know I will.

[dyl-westwick]

Oh hey, Oliver!

I’ve moved here from Winchester to um finish here at the beginning of the semester.

[oliver-jacobson]

Hey.

You moved to Deering? Why?

[natehawkins]

Well, the one thing in this moment. I don’t know if he was a foreigner, but the guy in front of me had trouble staying on the right side of the road.

[oliver-jacobson]

Maybe he was drunk or just being reckless. People are stupid.

[oliver-jacobson]

Private

[raime-marseilles]

Something already has gone wrong, horribly wrong! What? I don’t think I’m invincible—why would you say that? I’m sorry? I sort of ran into her when she was having an off day…

What is so screwed up about trying to stay out of your life, so that you don’t suffer the repercussions of my actions? Okay…I’m not good at…talking about things and I have a really bad temper—you knew I was a headache from the beginning, but I’ve apologized, and you can either forgive me or not, but I’m not going to stand here and try to convince you what I said was just to make you leave—you either believe it by now, or you don’t. 

[oliver-jacobson]

I know that. Yeah, well, you're acting like it. Going after Blake, acting like you don't need anyone. Don't you get that if something happened to you people would care? Wait-- What do you mean by 'off day'?

That you think you need to protect me. I don't need protecting, Raime. Fine, I believe you. I think you're an idiot, but I believe you.

[abbileeharcourt]

They do say we’re our own worst enemies. But really, stop taking a leaf out of your own book and learn from others. 

[oliver-jacobson]

By others you mean you? Because there's really nothing I can learn from you. Except how to act like a know-it-all.

[abbileeharcourt]

How creative, Jacobson. You’re really bad at nicknames, you know that?

[oliver-jacobson]

Learned from the worst. [Shrugs.]

[natehawkins]

If there’s one thing I cannot stand, it’s terrible drivers. 

[oliver-jacobson]

One thing? There are plenty of things I can't stand.

[dyl-westwick]

My host mom is so sweet! I was talking to her in passing about how my favorite candy during Easter time was Reese’s eggs. She came home today with five bags of them.

[oliver-jacobson]

Lauren?

What are you doing in Deering?

[nina-marseilles-blog-deactivate]

Every damn time I go to The Bean I find another reason to never go there. Why can’t they get it right? I’m Nina, not Nora. 

[oliver-jacobson]

Are you sure? Because you look a lot like Nor-- Oh, wait. You're twins.

[isobelfischer]

I’d offer a free “Punch Isobel” card but I think I have enough bruises to last a lifetime. Next time you have a pillow though.

[oliver-jacobson]

Bruises? And I don't hit girls... or people, generally. Usually.

[reed--lombardo]

"Yes you are. You always push me out when you need me the most. I know you do. And now you’re twisting my words around. I never said you were going to do something stupid. I just want you to know that you have people who care about you and how you’re feeling!"

"Fine. Don’t care. Be a little shit. See if I give a damn. But I’m still going to be here. Because that’s what friends do. I’m not going to just go away because you don’t know how to appropriately show your feelings."

[oliver-jacobson]

Do you ever think that maybe it's because I don't need you to feel sorry for me? Yeah, well, it sounded like you were trying to talk me down from doing something stupid. Like I was on a roof, or something, about to jump. I'm not jumping, or falling, or whatever, Reed. I'm just... whatever.

What? This isn't showing my feelings? Because I thought it was. Am I holding back? Am I burying all my little emotions inside? Not really.

[isobelfischer]

But they say April showers bring May flowers

….Wow I hate myself, feel free to toss a pillow at me or something.

[oliver-jacobson]

Believe me, if I had a pillow, I'd toss it.

[reed--lombardo]

"Dammit, Ollie, stop pushing me out like this. I’m here for you in your time of need, okay? I don’t know how you’re feeling; I get that I don’t understand. But think about all the people that care about how you’re feeling. Think about Bella."

"Of course you’re allowed to be sad. But you can’t let it overcome you. You can’t let the sadness win."

[oliver-jacobson]

I'm not pushing you out and this isn't my 'time of need'. You make it sound like I'm going to do something stupid. I'm not.

Right now, I don't really care, Reed.

[reed--lombardo]

"Alright, no, you don’t. But…I’m just trying to help."

"I’m not trying to make you feel like it doesn’t matter, Ollie. Of course it matters. It will always matter. But you have to think of the positive things, too. Look at how far you’ve come in the last three years."

[oliver-jacobson]

That didn't help.

So now I'm not allowed to be sad? You know, I've heard all this positivity bullshit before.

[reed--lombardo]

"Like the ending of this seemingly eternal winter, flowers, sunshine, school coming to a close. I know April is always tough, Ollie, but you can’t let it get you down."

[oliver-jacobson]

I don't even go to school anymore, Reed.

Can't let it get me down? Seems pretty blasé when my dad died three years ago.
