Maddie had been eating at Rousseau’s with her headphones and was reading one of her textbooks when she suddenly saw someone’s hand suddenly go in front of her face. “Holy crap, you scared the crap out of me.” Maddie gasped as she pulled out her headphones and looked up at the person who distracted her.

“Okay... so I stupidly allowed one of my old friends to set me up on a blind date... and she was the worlds worst conversationalist... I know that is not a nice thing to say...but it’s true... seriously... I just want to forget the thing ever happened.” He admitted to the person who had just joined next to him.

Today was another ordinary, boring, uneventful day for Ryan. First he had to drag himself out of bed and get ready, which was never all that bad, but when it came to going outside.. he hated that the most; he liked being somewhat invisible. And the only way he knew how to be invisible was walking with his head down, earbuds in, blaring music. And thats exactly what he did. Of course he had to be pulled out of all of that when he bumped into something, better yet someone, sending his phone flying out of his hands and hitting the pavement. “Fucking really..” he mumbled, bending down to get it. He hoped, prayed, the screen wouldn’t be shattered. That would be the cherry on top of his day.

Harmony couldn’t remember the last time she had taken time for herself. It was intentional, and she knew that, so many shifts at the cafe and nights spent reading to stay awake so she wouldn’t be stuck in her own mind. It was undoubtedly not healthy, but she had done it for months anyway. Finally having a day off, she grasped coffee in her hand and wandered into the Quarter, trying to decide what to do with herself.

Juniper downed a shot of vodka and slammed the empty glass back down on the bar, gesturing to the bartender to send another her way. It was a Saturday night and she was achingly bored. She rolled her head, neck cracking satisfyingly as she did and she sat up straighter, surveying the other patrons in the bar, trying to decide whether or not she was hungry for a little snack while she waited for inspiration to strike.

Jake still didn’t know what had happened to him, but he couldn’t seem to let it go. The pain had been one thing, but the lack of control for the first time in two years was something else, and it scared him. He knew he was beating himself up, but he couldn’t help it, sitting in the back of Rousseau drinking after his show was over for the night.

Hayley had spent the past few day’s off t spend the holiday’s with her family. Heading to work in the early morning, Hayley headed to the cafe to grab a coffee to go in order to full come around before starting through the massive amount of paperwork she assumed would have built up while she was out of the office. Standing in the queue, she was called up before placing her order. “A large mocha with cream please.” she admitted with a smile and soon paid for the drink before taking a sip of it.

Ivy sat in the square, closely examining the binder on her lap. She began furiously erasing and re-writing, putting together the next week’s rehearsal schedule for the theater, balancing what needed to be done with everyone’s availabilities. It was often a tedious task, but it was one that Ivy had always strangely enjoyed, she liked bringing order to the chaos. And, with everything that had happened in the last few months, Ivy needed any control or order that she could get. She felt a shadow pass over where she was standing and looked up, smiling softly, “Hi! I hope you weren’t standing there for too long...”
