I should come b ack here and just drop everything and start over. But, I also don’t want to make people upset by dropping what I owe. So we’ll see. Y’all should follow Brody though.

“If this is you dreadful, you’d probably kill me at your best.” He chuckled, “I’ve been alright, keeping busy. I’m actually working with your uncle a lot more but, I didn’t think I’d run into you–especially stateside.” Callum nodded, “So, your art? I’d love to see it sometime if you’d be alright with that.”

“If you say so.” She commented, with a shrug of her shoulders. She had never thought of herself as beautiful. “That’s great. I love my uncle. He’s one of the few family members who isn’t completely bonkers.” Her parents? Well they left something to be desired. “Oh, I’ve lived here for years. Did he never mention that?” Her art? He wanted to see it. “Sure. I’m working on a few new pieces.”

“What can I say, the rumors were true this go around.” He smirked, “Ho-how are you…” He bit his bottom lip, “Sorry, I’m staring, but, it’s been so long–you look…wow, um,” Cal smiled, his cheeks flushing just a touch. It was rare for him to become speechless, he always had a smart line or witty come back but this caught him off guard. The brunette chuckled, “You look fantastic, as always.” He finally was able to compliment her.

“I’m good. I’ve been busy with work and my art.” She smiled, softly. “Oh thank you. I think I look rather dreadful at the moment. You know, not sleeping well and all will do nothing good for you. How have you been?” She questioned, tucking some hair behind her ear.  “And you look wonderful, as well.”

I’ll get a few replies out tomorrow. Sorry for sucking.

Callum hung up the phone as he exited the law firm, he hadn’t been expecting to come into today but Hugh had called with an interesting case. He was already Stateside so when Hugh asked for him to check on something he didn’t see why not. The Brits eyes lifted and he froze in his spot. “Aria?” He had assumed she was still in England, at least Great Britain. They’d both grown but god she looked fantastic. Suddenly Cal felt like that skinny, wanderlust filled teen who he’d been when they first met. 

@refinedtragedy

Aria had gotten a call from her uncle to meet him. He wanted to have lunch. But, she wasn’t sure why he had called yet. She was going to figure that out while they ate lunch. She was just about to enter the law firm when someone came walking out. It had been awhile since she had seen him last. But, she couldn’t forget that face for anything. “Callum?” She questioned, as though he weren’t the person in front of her. “It’s so funny that I would run into you. I’d heard rumors that you were working for my uncle. But, this just proves it.”

Now that kinda took him off guard. Despite the fact that he did not had a perfect childhood, it had obviously been different from the one Aria had. He thought it’d be simply incorrect to try to give her some advice just because he didn’t know what she had gone through. He wasn’t born in a wealthy home, but he had to get through a lot. But even then, he was aware his parents loved him. He couldn’t imagine how hard it’d must be for her to grow up feeling not enough, not even to her folks. “Have you ever tell them the way you feel? Do you - do you even want to keep in touch with them?” he asked, frowning a little, concerned about her. “If they don’t love you -” he started, looking directly into her eyes, “it’s because they’re stupid. You’re not wrong. You are beautiful, and intelligent, and talented, and strong. You gotta be aware of that. It’s - it’s okay to feel like shit, you know? But you gotta know that.”

“Do I want to keep in touch with them? Not really, no. I’ve tried to cut them off over and over. I tell them that I’m done and that I want nothing from them. Then they call and find a way to weasel back in.” She sighed, heavily. “They never wanted my brother and I. We were just extra after my older brother. When he died, it was suddenly Alaric’s fault and by extension, mine.” She paused, taking a moment to steady herself. “Yeah, I know. It gets harder to remember that when things like this happen. But, I do know.”

Heart raced just a little bit, hearing the news.  Once again, Jitters had been the center of an attack, and all he could think about, was that he just wanted to get home.  It was the first night that he and Aria had had together in a few days, just them.  No one else in the house.  The joys of having people come and go as they pleased.  

Turns out though, the ‘bad guy’ was an ex employee who went a little crazy.  Then waited for the cops.  As they hauled him away, he headed to his car, and home.  The patrols could handle things.  Pulling into the driveway, he headed inside, and slipped off his jacket.  “Aria?”  He let out a breath, listening for sounds she was home.  “Babe, you home?”

Aria had been home all day. She had the day off from the cafe where she was working and she had no classes either. It was a rare day when nothing much was happening.  She’d gotten some chores done around the house and settled onto the sofa with some popcorn and a dvd set. It was nice to unwind without everyone around.

The place seemed busier than ever with the way that everyone had come and gone. She was just about to toss some popcorn in her mouth when she heard his voice. She put the bowl of popcorn down on the table and met him in the other room. “I’m right here.”

“I don’t know.”  He had to be honest with her.  It wouldn’t do any good if he lied to her about things.  They didn’t know yet, what was going on with the baby.  They wouldn’t until the examined her.  That scared him.  He couldn’t lose either one of them.  As they slid her out of the ambulance, and into the hospital, he moved with her, never letting go of her hand.  Wanting to be with her, every step of the way.

She could feel her fear growing with each passing moment. Nurses were asking her questions that she didn’t have the answer to. She couldn’t help the guilt that she was feeling for her having been so thoughtless. It wasn’t just her body, anymore. She had a child to consider and she could have killed the baby. She felt a pain in her stomach and let out a yelp of pain.

“Ah.” Winn nodded. He wished he dated, but then again the last few times he’d tried had turned out completely horrific. So, he was now scarred and friendships were the thing that he was trying to focus on at the moment. That and his job. “I’m just saying, because people take advantage when others are drunk. Not that I would, but there are creeps out there.” Not that she needed to be told.  

“Ah yes, creeps. I’ve met my fair share. Glad to know that you aren’t one--I mean since you’ve made that clear.” Aria at times had poor taste in people. It wasn’t always. But, it was more often than not. “And I’m eternally single unlike my brother.”

Claudia blushed when she heard his voice, “I’m sorry if I woke you up.” She timidly said, her voice soft and sweet, her face in his chest.

“Nah, I was going to wake up soon anyway. Are you hungry?”

he can tell something is bothering her. but, he hasn’t the slightest idea of what and he doesn’t want to ask if it’s that bad. he just sits there and holds her letting her sniffle and cry as needed.

      ✦    fingers tap upon his knee lightly,     grin unmoving from cherry lips as she shrugs softly,    ❝        what can i say   ?   i’m a mysterious girl.        ❞    cue another giggle,    one that causes body to shake gently and hair to fall in front of her eyes.     once she had calmed down,    she looks out over the view they had found,     ❝        don’t ever leave me,   okay   ?    even if you do find the love of your life.        ❞

“That you definitely are.” He offered in reply. He caught the giggle and couldn’t help but crack a smile as he listened to it. “I guess I’ll just have to take you with us. It’ll be an interesting honeymoon for sure.”

Ivy looked over at the man when he spoke, a small smile slipping across her lips. “Yeah, sure,” She agreed, nodding her head. That sounded like a much better way to spend the night than at this party. She’d mostly wander around aimlessly until she got bored and went home, anyway. “A milkshake sounds good.” The girl stood and tossed her empty cup into a nearby garbage bin. “I think it’ll also be a lot quieter, too.”

“That’s for sure. I was only really waiting til one of these idiots flew off the roof or fell flat on the ground for a laugh. But, I’m done with waiting. I know a great burger joint that serves excellent shakes. Did you bring a car or I have mine.”
