I told someone today that they are important. It broke my heart when they told me "no one has ever told me I am important before." If no one has told you, you are important. You specifically, are important. Your existence matters. Your life matters. You are important.

a couple days in and she’s getting pretty darn good at this fake dating thing. it’s impressive how easily the pair got on. there were many times where their relationship felt totally believable, even to her. and for someone she didn’t really spend much time with before, atlas was growing on her. riley feels a tinge of disappointment when his hand falls from its place on her waist. was it weird that it felt so good there? like it was somewhere it belonged? “did you see his face? fucking priceless.”

[ivygrcws]

atlas was not a relationship guy. he didn't allow himself to get that close to others, so this agreement with riley was perfect - - fake dating, so he didn't have to get close. no strings attached and every innocent touch meant nothing, right? except, feelings had begun to claw at his chest, desperate to get out. but he had to put them to rest ; bury them if he could. the brunette should take a step backwards and put space between them, but he remains in her orbit. "yeah," gives a half-hearted smile, "he's pissed. i'm sure you'll be getting a text soon enough." which meant atlas' work here was done. expression scrunches in thought before words tumble from his lips before he can stop them, "he doesn't deserve you, you know. it's not my place to say…but he's not worth it, riley."

[scftlys]

riley is able to catch the change in his eyes and how they fell once she mentioned her ex. forces herself to think nothing of it, she knows their agreement and knows how atlas is. she wouldn’t be the one to change that. “a text i’ll be ignoring—we’ve only just begun.” teeth dig into her plush lower lip in excitement, she couldn’t wait to see how far they could milk this. his next words aren’t ones she sees coming. her smile falls, a crease appearing between her brows. he doesn’t deserve you. something she’s already heard from others around her. the countless amount of fights he started, flaunted other girls in front of her face, made her feel small and insignificant. everyone saw it and of course she did too, only she forced herself to believe that it wasn’t who he truly was. came up with so many excuses for him that she struggled to think of new ones. “you’re right, it isn’t your place to say. it’s not like you’re going to have a good opinion of him anyway, you’re not exactly his biggest fan.”

[scftlys]

this is the closest she’s been to the other in weeks. the breakup was messy and the wound was still fresh, the last thing she wanted right now was to be crammed next to him in the backseat of their friend’s full car. every bump sends her closer to him, the brunette fighting to stay on her side of the seat. she’s staring out the window trying to figure out how she’s going to play this thing off when her phone buzzes.

✉ saige ⸻ it’s better than ruining the trip. it’ll be more awkward than it already is and they’ll never shut up about it

✉ saige ⸻ it’ll be fine. just relax

[scftbound]

his gaze drifted to her ex as he read the messages , knowing she was most probably right . it still sucked , knowing they'd be expected to act all couple-y and cuddly . the breakup had been hard enough without the added pressure and yet here he was . the trip had seemed like an amazing idea when all of them came up with it . he'd been looking forward to spending a week with his girl and their friends until everything went to hell .

✉ alex ⸻ i could just come up with some work emergency and go back to the city ✉ alex ⸻ that way the trip won't be ruined and you can actually enjoy yourself

[scftlys]

saige imagined this trip going so differently when they first planned it. she couldn’t wait to spend some much needed time with alex and their friends, especially given how busy they’d both been with their own stuff. it felt like the answer she’d been hoping for—now it feels like anything but. she isn’t naive enough to think this was going to be easy but doesn’t feel like they really have any other choice at the moment. maybe they could find a way to only be around eachother when absolutely necessary?

✉ saige ⸻ it’s too late now, it’ll look weird. just smile and act like you’re enjoying yourself and i’ll do the same

[faustique]

just a reminder in case your mind is playing tricks on you today, you matter. you're important. you're loved. and your presence on this earth makes a difference whether you see it or not.
