“i’ve never seen you off your game like this.”

James took a deep breath as he tried to get his bearings or at least look like he had them. "Hey," he said, attempting his usual smile. It felt hollow even to him.

He let it fall under the scrutiny of Amelia's gaze. "I've never seen you off your game like this."

"Yeah, well," James grumbled. "I'm working a lot and... not sleeping well." He didn't tell her it was because of the confusion and sorrow that filled his dreams, nor the red hair filtering through it.

He waved his hand as she opened her mouth to argue. "I'm fine. Or at least, I'll be fine."

“i wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, or anything, but the door was wide open.”

"I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, or anything, but the door was wide open."

James let his head fall back scrubbing his hands over it buy himself time before answering. "Sorry you had the hear that."

He didn't argue with his parents often, but naturally it would happen when he'd finally talked Amelia into joining him for dinner. He should have known better than to bring her here, even if he had wanted to cook for her.

James looked at her directly. "I'm sorry you heard them say all that. Look, I know things are a little tense with your family, but I can't believe my mother would be that judgmental about it. She has no right to care about someone else's business like that."

“Fight Me”

@ameliajbones || fight meme || accepting

Alice has nothing against Amelia. In fact the likelihood that they would legitimately get into a fight is slim. However, if Alice invited Amelia over for a movie night and she ended up crashing on Alice’s couch. And when she woke up in the morning the LAST chocolate chip cookie was gone because Amelia used it as a midnight snack, she might be inclined to fight. All I’m suggesting is to not eat the last cookie without proper notice.

“Confess!!”

“I act like I have it all together, but secretly I constantly feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. I plunge headfirst into things because I need to feel like I’m doing something, there’s this fire inside of me demanding that I be productive, that I put effort towards trying to make a difference. I take pride in my work and on the outside, I want people to think that I love my job and that everything is great. But the reality is I’m still struggling to figure out what I’m really supposed to be doing with my life, and how to get people to listen to me and take me seriously. It’s incredibly frustrating.”
