i'm the bad guy , duh.

now there’s gravel in our voices; glass is SHATTERED from the fight, in this tug of war you’llalways win even when I’m right ‘cause you feed me fables from your hand -- with violent words andempty threats; and it’s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied

HOLDEN & TESSA.

‘YEAH, well, first time for everything. ’ His brows raised, an incredulous look appearing on his features as if he were trying to find a decent mixture of nonchalance and warmth. A warmth he often didn’t bother with. He finds it difficult to converse with the brunette, not only after the events of recent weeks, but the events that had been transpiring ever since he’d set foot back in their hometown. ‘ What you workin’ on? ’ He pulls out a seat opposite her, sliding into it as he feels the odd stare or two from clients that consider themselves too friendly. He shoots looks back, ones that are the polar opposite to the way he looks at the girl in front of him, a subtle duality most would fail to pick up on.

By the time his eyes meet hers once more, he realises the gravity of the situation at hand. He’d come to the library initially to study for his upcoming resits, yet here he was, distracted from the true task by Tessa Lancaster. He slips his backpack from his shoulders, placing it with liberal thump! on the chair next to him. Again, he gains a few glares, this time for a much different reason, to which he only replies to with a aggressive scowl.

‘ This place is full of fucking losers. ’ He hisses under his breath, bringing out a stack of several books, the original of the loud thump. The subjects within them are emblazoned proudly on the front, words like ‘coding’, ‘cyber-security’, and various other buzzwords within the computer science industry making themselves known. He brings out a notepad and with it a pack of neatly organised, coloured, fineliner pens, flipping open the book to reveal a menagerie of meticulously neat notes, all unexpectedly colour-coordinated.

‘ So… ’

He retains his air of nonchalance despite the dull thudding in his ears, dark hues piercing the paper in front of him, barely affording Tessa a glance as he speaks. He loves her. But love, for the young Dyer boy, has never been easy nor simple. Bringing love into his world was something he had never accounted for. He began to run over the countless scenarios in his mind, gently laying them all out, detailing their consequences – to the world, he was simply another student doing diligent work, to him, he was delicately assessing his situation. His situation with her. He finally takes a moment to look at her, eyebrows creasing ever so slightly in uncharacteristic concern.

‘ How are you? ’

“ exams are around the corner , thought i would get my notes in order. want to keep my gpa up , gotta make sure my looks aren’t the only thing keeping me going. ” she said in a teasing tone , shocked at how easy it was to fall back into her old self around the male. despite the constant toxicity that came from them prior to this conversation , holden forever held a place in her heart , a place that no one would ever be able to take over. first love would be the excuse that her brother would have used if he was still alive , would’ve told her to smarten up & that she deserves so much better but as he lowered himself in the chair across from her , she felt goosebumps move up her body & her mouth get dry. 

his voice echoed , almost not making sense as she just stared at him , remembering their last encounter as though it happened the day before. clearing her throat , she reached fro her tea in hopes that it would keep her occupied than just sitting there in awe at the male , in awe that he was willing to sit with her after everything that happened. he loved her , loves her , he admitted it ---- although , with holden’s past of feelings , he could’ve been lying in the moment just to make tessa grow up & get out of a relationship that was killing her from the inside out.

“ oh ---- oh , sorry. sorry , you asked me a question. ” she said , coughing slightly on her tea before wiping at the corners of her mouth , praying she didn’t look like an idiot in that instance. “ i’m alright. sleep is still a struggle some nights , although i like to blame that on my roommates extremely loud snoring & how hot the dorm rooms are here. what about you ? are you ready for exams ? i’m happy to give you a few study tips if you need any , been swearing by them since high school. ” that’s it , tessa , act like a bigger loser in front of him.

MASON & ELLIE.

Everyone knew that the park was the best place in town to get a view of all the stars, it was true, but that’s not what led Mason there in the middle of the night. He hadn’t yet tried to call asleep, only because the mere thought of it had him antsy, needing to get out of his flat. He could go to the pub, sure, perhaps find someone to give him some company, let him buy them a few drinks, and then take her home. But the thought of doing so wasn’t nearly as exciting as it had once been. Mason felt like being alone, just him and the stars, so he walked out of his flat and found his way to the park.

Ellie being there was a welcome surprise. Giving her a small smile, Mason shook his head.  “Mind if I join you?” he asked tentatively as he looked down at her in the grass, not wanting to ruin her alone time – or if she was meeting someone else, god willing. 

blue hues looked towards the male , thin blanket wrapped around her tiny frame to cover her from the light breeze that was brushing against her , slivers of blonde locks moving across her face to indicate the direction of said wind. “ of course not , there’s a lot of room here for the both of us. you might be able to help me find the big dipper , too , been struggling for the past hour & it’s just getting out of hand , ” she said with a small smile finally showing on her face.

if it had been a year prior , ellie definitely would have told him no , terrified of the outcome but also terrified of her ex finding out that she was still doe-eyed for her high school sweetheart ; if you could even call him that , as they never officially dated. the memories of london still lingered in her mind , causing her heart to race every time she looked at him , knowing how his hands felt against her skin & how his lips moved in sync with hers in such an effortless rhythm. “ couldn’t sleep ? i find that i don’t sleep well anymore , unless it’s raining , which usually isn’t uncommon around here , just unlucky these days. ”

        the break-up had been messy. of course, it was expected with how ryan was. he guilted her multiple times, made her think that she was being unreasonable when in realityhe was the one that was causing her so much pain that she hated herself every time she looked in the mirror. despite the hate she had towards the male, she was almost gratefulthat he was the way he was - grateful in the fact that because of him, she managed to feel the lips of her true love once again, managed to hold his hand and have him beg for her to stay, despite her heart belonging to another. managed to have him admit that he loved her – loves her, or at least she had hoped the feelings didn’t disappear within the few weeks that contact was all lost between the pair.

       it was mid-term week. constant studying and constant stress. tessa usually found herself in the library, hiding behind her computer screen or behind a book. the desk was usually cluttered with multiple books and highlighted notes and bright coloured flash cards, but today it was quite clean. a check list beside her and all the dates written out neatly in her easy-to-be-read handwriting, indicating when all her mid-terms and projects were due and a simple check beside each other. the clock read three in the afternoon, close to dinner but not close enough that she was ready to rush down to the cafe and get in line before it got crowded.

        her last mid-term had been psychology, brain and behaviour to be exact. quite simple for the woman, her mind should’ve been turning about what mark she could’ve gotten. should’ve been going through her text books once again to look up the answers that she second guessed herself on during the testing hours but instead she sat there with her eyes glued to her computer screen, her thumbnail in her mouth between her teeth and her bright eyes staring at holden’s name on the facebook screen, praying and praying that the little green circle would appear and he’d message her.

        had she gone too far? had she managed to mess it all up with the simple kiss? was there a line that was drawn on the floor in that moment and did she step over it to the point of no returning back to the side of the line where he was with her? hearing a shuffle of feet, she quickly looked up to see the face of the man she had been praying to talk to since she left that night. realizing she had been staring at his name on a damn social media site for longer than she should have, tessa quickly shut the laptop and cleared her throat, her mind searching for something witty to say.

        ‘ never thought i’d see the day that holden dyer stepped foot in a library, ’ she said with a hint of a smile before sitting back in her seat, her heart pounding against her ribcage like an animal wanting to be free.

there was nothing more that she wanted than to be home. after spending a few days in new orleans to, as she called it, face her fears. it was finally time to do just that. go home. she had put the past behind her finally after so many years. a sigh escaping her lips, she watched as she plane descended. finally touching down on the runway. every part of her couldn’t wait to get off the plane. she missed her home, her bed. but most of all, she missed jamie. as the plane pulled up to the gate, she was fast to unbuckle her seat belt.  after a few minutes, she found herself leaving her seat to get off the plane. “finally.” she whispered to herself. from walking off to the walkway that was connected to the plane, to going down to the baggage claim, she  looked around for a moment before spotting him. a bright smile formed on her face as she saw him. running over to him, her arms wrapped around his neck instantly. “god, i missed you.”

              he hadn’t been the best boyfriend in the world , but he was also jamie knight , & no one expected him to be. at least no one that knew him , that is. he would probably be labelled most likely to die before the age of twenty five , or most likely to be in jail after graduation. with his addictions , it was common for many to believe what was told , but with thalia away at home , he managed to get himself as clean as he could. alcohol was still a struggle, the male relapsing almost every second day due to the craving , but he was excited to explain to his girlfriend that he was holding onto his three month sober button from narcotics. the moment he saw the hair , he couldn’t help but have the bright smile form on his lips , rushing towards her , picking her up into his arms , face buried in her neck to take in every inch of her. ‘‘ fuck ---- sake , i missed you more. ’’ he grunted , his grip tightening around her.

[princessxrps]

               eyes scanned the male , almost confused as to what was going on in that moment. it wasn’t as though it should be a shock , he had kissed her not long ago , although it was angela that had fled as quickly as their lips had met in that moment , always confused as to her feelings towards people. jessica was always the person that got the attention , angela was in the background , she learned to love the shadows & to not argue when it came to the spotlight. all she wanted was her book , an oversized sweater & some tea to go along with her readings. but then there was nicky , nicky freakin’ mendes , who was now standing in front of her with his lips moving & words coming out , but his mind elsewhere , her mind focused on the anxiety coursing through her veins , reminding her that she would never be good enough.

              ‘‘ why me ? ’’ she cut him off , not even feeling a tinge of guilt for making him shut up almost instantly , eyes finally moving up to connect with his , honesty behind them as she waited for an answer. ‘‘ out of everyone here ----- why would you pick the girl you met curled up in a ball , reading her mystery novel at the diner ? ’’

camila knight.

                          once   the   panic   set   in   ,   she   was   overwhelmed   with   it. she had been putting off telling her best friend for so many reasons. but since finding out about quil imprinting on her sister, she knew she finally had the chance to tell her again. cami knew it’d cost her, she knew how freaked anna would fill before the betrayal set in. “ she’s gonna hate me. ” she mumbled to herself. but i can’t keep hiding this from her. with a loud sigh, the female started banging on the door she stood in front of.  “ open up quil, it’s time. ” she yelled though knew he would of heard him without her raising her voice. 

they hadn’t planned it. well, cami did, she planned on grabbing the male and dragging him to anna’s. he knew he wouldn’t be too against telling anna. it had to be done. when the door opened she sighed in relief. “ finally, q. it’s time to go. ”

@scgarcoated

               ‘‘ is this like the thing now ?! waking me up at the crack of freakin’ dawn ? ’’ he muttered to himself , although it was probably halfway through the day by the time he got out of bed , sulking his way to the front door where cami was standing on the other side. taking a deep breath , he opened the door & instantly regretted it by the words that were being thrown in his direction , eyebrow raised in curiosity. the hell was she talking about ? quil was still fighting to get anna to himself , fighting to get his imprint to even like him enough to stop staring at other guys , but she wanted to go tell her that he could jump & shift into a freakin’ werewolf ? ‘‘ we don’t even have a plan , we can’t just show up at her door & throw all this on her without a plan , cami. even i know that’s stupid. ’’

               he wasn’t against it , hell he was totally there for it , anna needed to be aware of not only himself but also cami , but going in without a plan never worked out for the male. he kissed anna without a plan , did gestures without a plan , & look at where he ended up , worried that someone else was grasping her attention. ‘‘ tell me the plan & i’m down , ’’ he said , lowering himself down on the closest piece of furniture.

“Since when does the one & only Mason Reeves enjoy star gazing?” The question came out in a teasing tone, Ellie focusing more on the stars that were above her than the male next to her, in all honesty. Star-gazing had probably been the one thing that always kept the blonde woman calm, seeing that there was much more to life than the demons that were inside her head. It had been a week since their last encounter, both of them shockingly able to keep their hands to themselves despite the constant talk down memory lane & Ellie wanting nothing more than to just grab the male & relive the experience. She knew better, if Mason Reeves wasn’t ready to settle down, then she was just jumping back into the vicious cycle of getting herself hurt. 

Biting down on her lower lip, Ellie finally turned her head towards the male with a small smile radiating on her lips, mind running a million miles a minute until her eyes connected with his, calmness taking hold before she moved a few strands of hair out of her face. A nice night with no clouds in Darlington was shocking to most, allowing her to not take advantage of the situation. “Couldn’t sleep?” Seemed like the only explanation to her at the moment, she knew she couldn’t.

She stopped dead on her tracks when he decided to slide in the sly remark, only causing more anger to radiate off her entire, although small, body towards him. “You obviously figured it out when I was going towards a truck that I don’t drive and someone else in the fucking drivers seat,” she swore, knowing very well that the moment she looked back on this moment that she’d be completely shocked at how many times she used a curse word to explain her feelings and emotions. Rolling her eyes came next as he pointed out the obvious, her arms finally crossing over her chest as she looked over at the male. “Good for you, want a gold medal for thinking?” She asked in a tone that even surprised her. Atlas was never someone that was on her rough side, always getting the best treatment as her best friend; someone she even fell for despite his constant refusal for her to do so.

“——Fuck,” she finally swore as she ripped off her sweater to reveal her simple attire of skinny jeans and a white t-shirt. Her apartment was a small one, nothing special, especially for a basement condo, but it was enough to make her happy and in moments like this, she was grateful for the good insulation as she wouldn’t wake up anyone above her. Sitting down on her love seat, she looked up towards the male with wide eyes, gesturing her hands impatiently. “Are you gonna talk or just stand there?”
