all the worlds graces

I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty.

Braxton: so I know I'm supposed to be professionally sad when people drop off abandoned puppies. But that just means more puppy time for me, so am I terrible? Probably. Anyway, down to help feed some little fur babies?

Olivia: I don't think it makes you terrible? At least the way you're talking about it makes it seem like you're at least caring about the puppies!

I aim to be lionhearted, but my hands still shake and my voice isn’t quite loud enough.

“Well I guess I picked it up a few years back. Didn’t do it too often around here till I moved to California for a while. More like I just don’t like to sit around too long, hence why I’m closing my source of revenue for the day.” He shrugged lightly. “Well it’s sort of my job to remember names and drinks so don’t worry about it. I’m Seth.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“I can’t imagine Tree Hill compares much to what you experience in California then? It’s pretty awesome that you got the chance to try it out there. I get that, I like to keep moving, always trying something new.” She replied. “Well, it’s nice to properly meet you then Seth.”

[andreacamilacastro]

“Yeah I’m more of a participator than a spectator. But I’ve caught a couple of competitions in California. Although I guess its sort of built in to the participation because you gotta wait your turn for waves but anyway–” He rambled away. “Yeah well I mean I’ve poured plenty of your drinks. Olivia right? Kinda a whole different perspective in the daylight I guess.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“I wish I could participate, but I guess it just wasn’t my sport. How long’ve you been doing this for then? Because the way you talk about it, it sounds pretty damn important to you.” Olivia asked curiously. “Yes, Olivia that’s me. And now I feel even worse, because you recognised me and knew my name. For the purpose of being on the same page, what do I call you?”

[andreacamilacastro]

“Yep that’s the one.” The board sport, he thought to himself fondly. “Sounds good to me. I’ll see you then, then. So you like my place then?” He asked, always looking to hear ways in which he could improve it. Aside from his dad, the place was essentially his whole life. 

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“I used to try it out when I was in high school. No good at it unfortunately, it’s a fun spectator sport though.” Olivia smiled wistfully. “I do, actually. Very much. Kind of embarrassed that I’ve been a frequent visitor and didn’t know who owned it.”

[andreacamilacastro]

“Sorry we’re closed for the day, there’s supposedly a huge swell down the coast a bit and with the weather getting colder I wanna catch it while the catchin’s still good. But we’ll likely be open tomorrow.” He said, locking door outside Quincy’s.

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“I assume you’re talking about surfing, right?” Olivia asked curiously as she peered into the windows of the bar. “Well, as long as you’re open tomorrow I guess I’ll just go find somewhere else to partake in my vices and just come back here tomorrow.”

[xtwcghcsts-deactivated20200223]

“Yeah we did, what were we even thinking? Playing with Legos when we could have been ruling the neighborhood with puppies. Everyone would have been jealous.” Owen mused. “Alright, whatever. I’m funny and you know it.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“Clearly we had our priorities all skewed. We’re much older and wiser now.” Olivia suggested. “I don’t think I would’ve trusted child us with like an army of any animal.” She laughed. “I’ll admit you do have a pretty good sense of humour on occasion.”

[xtwcghcsts-deactivated20200223]

“I could have gotten a puppy for Christmas every year if I would have known. We could have been swimming in puppies, Liv! What a shame.” He sighed, shaking his head. “I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one, sis. I am hilarious, thank you very much. I did comedy sketches for film classes at school and everyone loved them. People think I’m funny.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“Man. We really wasted our time when we were younger didn’t we? We could’ve started some sort of puppy family mafia. Nobody would’ve messed with us.” Olivia exclaimed wistfully. “Yeah, yeah. Humour’s subjective and what not.”

“Um yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s how it works. You get everything you ask for as long as you say please.” Owen teased, smiling triumphantly. “Oh, growing up with you has taught me so many things. Many of them unwanted lessons, but lessons nonetheless. What? I could make a comedy if I wanted to, I just don’t have the desire.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“If only I’d known that before today. I think you’ve just unlocked all of lifes secrets there Owen, manners, they key to everything we’ve ever wanted.” Olivia grinned at him. “There’s going to be a time when you look back and think, oh wow, that Olivia, what a great influence on me she was -- I owe her everything. It may not be soon, but that day’s coming. Could you make one though? Are you really funny enough to handle it?”

        The daze of the alcohol made this entire conversation bearable. “It kinda is – life dictates everything. But you’re going back to the egg or chicken question.” There were times she wished her Harvard education didn’t show but that had always been Tess, always fucking smart. Too smart for her own good. She shouldn’t have left Tree Hill. She should’ve just died in Tree Hill. But she was not going to utter that here. “No really let’s see what game you have maybe if you suck so much I’ll take some pity and give you some classes so you don’t become pudding to males.” 

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“Well, I don’t have time to get philosophical tonight, I’m not that kind of drunk -- and even if I was, I’m nowhere near drunk enough, so I’ll just nod and agree.” Olivia rattled off, she’d just wanted to cut loose tonight, forget about everything and everyone, but that became particularly hard when the person currently occupying your time obviously had some thoughts bigger than what she was ready to deal with at the moment. “Pudding? Well. I appreciate that.”

            “Then next time I suppose I am going to go to another bar. Cause life doesn’t give people chances. You gotta take it and make it the best.” And lord did Tess know that. She came from the poor sides – and even became dirt poor when her father died. So poor her mother sold her dignity and started sleeping with any rich dude that looked at her – until she clawed her claws into a fat juicy senator. And even then Tess was on her own she started dating her girlfriend so she knew to never expect anything. “You can have the table. Gotta locate Barnes anyways – so get a kick of it.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“I’m pretty sure life’s not the one dictating my chances at this pool game right now. But surely this game itself would count as taking and making the best of the situation, though?” Olivia shook her head. She knew what it meant to just deal with the life hand had given you, but she rarely let that on to other people so she couldn’t blame the girl for insinuating that’s what she needed to be doing. “Right. Okay then.”

[almagnoliasprings]

        “Then I guess you can go back to doing nothing and I can take someone else that is going to pose a real challenge, right?” Tess had become rather blunt with the past incidents in her life. So she didn’t bite her tongue back anymore. Besides, she would be out of this town within a couple of days anyways. 

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“Nobody here is ever going to get to be a real challenge if you don’t give them a couple of chances to practice. Besides, it’s like you said, we’re not exactly betting anything major and I don’t pose a real challenge so letting me have a quick few go’s isn’t going to lose you anything.” Olivia was used to this kind of attitude, saw it with a lot of the girls she coached at school. Who knew cheerleaders and bar go-ers had so much in common.

[xtwcghcsts-deactivated20200223]

“Please shut up? I asked nicely that time.” He counter offered with a sarcastically kind smile before she slapped his arm and it turned into a frown. “I will accept your offer, I’m your brother and I feel like I have to. Just the town in general, mostly focused on the history and how far it’s come in terms of urbanization and the culture diversifying. All that good stuff.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“Oh, well, I mean as long as you’ve asked nicely how can I not comply?” Olivia beamed at him, pretending to zip her mouth shut. “You are my brother and you do have to. I’m glad our long lives together have taught you at least that. Trust you to be all serious with your topics Owen.”

[xtwcghcsts-deactivated20200223]

Owen rolled his eyes at his sisters comment, had he noticed it was her he hadn’t even asked as she was used to being a subject in his work. “Shut up.” He chuckled, capturing her faces before lowering the camera after he stopped recording. “Wow, it’s really amazing – right as you said that, I actually saw your head grow three times bigger. You better be careful. It’s about Tree Hill.”

[olivia-mcfadden-blog]

“I will not shut up. How dare you.” She laughed, before leaning over and swatting him on the arm. “I offer to be a subject in your documentary, I put up with the fact that you look like a weirdo carrying that camera around right now and you insult me. Anything specific, or just the town in general?”
