Dieter frowned when she said she had a headache, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a bottle of advil. “I have some advil, here take 2 of them” he said, holding the bottle out for her and pushing his water bottle toward her as well, “Have some of my water, please. Staying hydrated helps”

Verity looked down at the ground, not wanting him to make her. Looking back up at the advil when he handed it to her. “Thanks.” She said, taking it, before accepting the bottle of water as well. Even though she did not need it, she still took it. Giving him his bottle back after taking a couple of sips. “I, um.. I should probably go. Take a nap or something like that.” She said, looking back up at him, biting her lips together.

“You have nothing to apologize, don’t worry” he said as he unlocked the door, leading her inside and over to Ryan’s couch before putting a blanket on her. “You’re not stupid, you could never be stupid” he said, sitting down next to her and holding her hand. “Do you want to tell me what happened first or do you want me to get you some wine?” he asked, wanting to do everything he could to make her feel better.

Verity followed him inside as soon as he had managed to unlock the door. She took a seat on the sofa, wiping her tears with the sleeve of her jumper, sending Brendon a thankful smile when he gave her the blanker. “Thanks.” She spoke. “No, no wine. Not now anyway.. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop and neither of us need that today.” She told him. Knowing very well she was not the most responsible drunk. “Well.. Its Dieter. He’s um.. met someone.” She said. “I just feel so stupid! He was so nice to me, like so nice! He was even offering to take us out on my 21st for drinks!” She told him.

“I mean, ideally that is what I would like to do.” Harmony added, feeling she had to wait and see what happened. She’d love to get back to the city as soon as possible, but she couldn’t promise that she would. “I am sure it is. I just need to figure out ways to fall in love with Portland like I had with New York.”

“That would be amazing if you did. I’d love to see you perform on Broadway!” Verity told her. “I know my sisters would too, to be honest.” She added, knowing both her sisters loved musicals and such. “So far the food’s been okay, and I’ve found a few coffee shops I love.”

[theveritysinclair]

harmonyandrews​:

“Yeah, there is a lot to miss about New York, so I don’t blame you. I miss it a lot too.” Harmony said, wishing she could go back there. But it wasn’t in the cards these days. “Yeah, you are right. They are different ones, but they are still nice ones. We all just need to take advantage of them.” 

Verity nodded. “Are you going to try to get back there you think? To Broadway once the baby is older?” She asked her out of curiosity. “I just like how diverse it seems.” She smiled. “Portland is also apparently very up and coming according to a few articles I read.”

“Yeah, she’s really cool I think you’d like her” he nodded, noticing that Verity’s mood seemed a little bit off. He wasn’t sure if she’d want him to comment on it or just leave it alone, so he tried to ignore it. “No bowling, that sounds easy enough I can avoid bowling” he said, not being able to ignore the look on her face has she kept talking. “Hey, are you alright?” he decided to ask, in a soft and sincere voice. “You seem upset- and obviously I’m not going to push you to talk about something if you don’t want to. But if you want to, I’m always here to listen” he offered, hoping she’d take it.

Verity bit her lips together. Like her?! Right now, at this moment in time she probably hated her more than her old teacher. “Great.” Verity responded, adding what she attempted at being a smile. Verity looked up at him when he asked if she was alright. Great, he had noticed that she seemed off. she wasn’t sure what to do. Every bone in her body just wanted to scream at him, tell him how she felt and storm off, but she decided against it. instead she put on a brave face. “Me? Yeah, I’m fine.” She told him. “Its just.. I have a headache.” She lied.

Brendon could hear how upset Verity was when she called him and knew how serious the situation must’ve been. Rushing over to Ryan’s, he got there just as she was trying to get the door open. “..Hey..” he said cautiously, in a hushed tone. Looking at her, he could tell she was about to cry. “C’mere” he said, stepping closer and pulling her into a hug. “It’s going to be okay… I’ll get us inside, we’ll get you comfortable, I’ll grab us some drinks and snacks, and you can tell me everything” he said softly, pulling away from the hug but keeping his hands on her sides and looking into her eyes. “Does that sound alright?”

Verity looked at her friend as he appeared up behind her. She gave him a weak smile, as she was too scared to even open her mouth until they got inside. Once he pulled her into a hug, she rested her head on his shoulder. All of the emotions were getting a bit much now, so she let herself go and began sobbing on his shoulder. Without a word, she handed him the keys, nodded when he suggested they go inside. “Sorry. I’mm a mess.” she managed to force out in between the sobs. “I am just so.. stupid.”

“I don’t think I’m the person you want to go to for dating advice. I’ve only had 2 official girlfriends and they were both drug addicts, so I don’t think I’m really great at that sort of thing” he shrugged, “But I don’t think you’re going to find ‘the one’ on tinder” he said, looking back at her. “I don’t know, just try to meet people. Friends of your friends, people in coffee shops, just put yourself out there. You’re very attractive and you’re one of the best people I know, people will definitely be interested in you”

“I mean, that is fair.” She told him, aware that Ryan had a dark past. “But still, you are practically my older bother, so it is only fair that I ask you if anyone about dating advice.” She added, shrugging her shoulders. “Fine, I’ll get of Tinder. Maybe Match.com or something is more up my alley.” she responded with a light chuckle, obviously joking as he suggested for her to get off online dating in general. “Thanks Ryan.” she said. “I will keep that in mind.”

“Yeah, New York has more people than the entire area of Canada that I lived in.” Harmony admitted, knowing New York City had one fifth of Canada’s total population. “It was pretty great, because I was always meeting someone new.” 

Verity nodded. “I miss it, you know. The big apple.” She said. “Things were different there.” She added, thinking back on her time in boarding school and all the stuff she had been up to. “But I feel like Portland has the opportunity to be great as well.”

dieternolan​:

“I really don’t have time to date, but I can try to make time if it works out. She’s studying to be a nurse so she doesn’t have a lot of time either so I won’t look like an asshole if I’m busy all the time” he shrugged, “She works at the hospital- she stopped by the other day to bring me a coffee on shift so if I’m able to see her when we’re at work that might make up for it too. I don’t want to be hopelessly single for the rest of my life so I’m really trying” he looked back at her. “That’s alright, your input is still of great value to me, I care what you think. Like what would you want to do on a first date, like what’s your ideal first date?”

“A nurse, huh?” Verity said, not really questioning it as much as it might have sounded like. It seemed like only yesterday she was lying on the hospital bed dropping subtle hints that he’d probably meet a nurse, and here he was. Having done exactly that. She bit her lips together in a attempt to hold back the build up of tears that was building up inside. She was taking deep breaths in order to try and calm herself down. “Yeah, you sound like you are really trying. Like you have got it all figured out.” She told him, adding a slight smile. I care that you think. She scoffed. ‘First of all, I’d like it to be a date with you,’ She thought to herself. “Um.. Honestly Dieter, I have no idea. Just don’t take her bowling. Girls normally hate bowling.” was all she managed to say.

Verity had called Brendon and asked him to come over to Ryan’s place the second after her conversation with Dieter had finished. She could not believe he had met someone. A nurse someone. Just like she had said the first time they had met. As a joke! She was struggling to hold back her tears as she felt frustrated with everything. She had reached the front door and was fiddling with the keys to unlock it when she heard something that resembled footsteps behind her and turned around.

“That must be a pretty long list though, to be fair” he joked, but not really. Ryan’s confidence was always higher than most peoples. He let out a loud laugh when she said she was on Tinder, “Oh my god, you’ve got to be kidding” he shook his head, “You? On tinder? Every guy on that app is just looking to hook up, they don’t want real dates, trust me. I don’t think Tinder’s for you, you deserve better than the people on it” he said before sighing. “That makes me feel better about it, thank you”

“Oh it is.” Verity responded with a smile shaped across her lips, knowing Ryan had been nothing but good to her all the way. “Yes, me on Tinder.” She responded, crossing her arms in front of her chest as she sat up. “Well, I have needs.” She simply responded, before shrugging her shoulders. “Then how do you suggest I go about it, because I have not been lucky in love so far and I am sick of being single.” She admitted. “Well, I am only telling the truth, Ryan.”

[theveritysinclair]

ryancotter​:

“I don’t lie to make people feel better, you’ll never have to worry about that. If I don’t like it, I will definitely tell you. You haven’t been able to get a hold of Brendon?” he asked, looking back at her. “I’m going to end up buying you something, we both know it” he nodded. “Exactly! And it pisses me off that she thinks I’m so terrible for Connor”

“That is one of the things I love about you.” She told him with a smile. “Well, I haven’t actually tried that hard.” She admitted. “I have been trying this whole.. Tinder thing. Remind me again why men are pigs and does not know how to treat a woman?” She said, knowing she had not been on many dates but the once she had been on had not ended well. “Well as long as Connor know’s you are not, screw her opinion of you. You know yourself better anyway and of she bothered to get to know you she’d know too.”

“It got pretty lonely when I was really young, honestly.” Harmony replied with a small shrug. “But I moved to New York at fourteen, and it didn’t really matter much after that. I sort of met someone there that was like the sister I never had.”

“I can imagine..” Verity said. “That is good! I mean New York is amazing that way, it has so many people you are bound to meet someone you get on with.”

[dieternolan]

“Okay- this is going to sound super weird but I don’t have the best track record with dating and I don’t want to mess this up- but” he paused, sighing. “How do you ask someone on a date? I’m not usually this nervous, I swear, I’ve been on plenty of dates and they go alright but it doesn’t really lead anywhere and I don’t want that to happen this time so…” he shrugged, “Help me? Please?”

[theveritysinclair]

Verity tilted her head a bit to the side, knitting her eyebrows together a little. Even though she did not want to admit it, she had been crushing on Dieter since they had met. He had saved her life, and also been so kind to her afterwards. “I thought you didn’t have time to date?” She responded at first, mostly out of curiosity. “I haven’t had much luck in that department myself, so I won’t be of much help. Sorry.”

[theveritysinclair]

harmonyandrews​:

“I hope so.” Harmony replied with a smile, already imagining how Ellie would be when she was older. “See, since I am an only child I don’t really have siblings to miss. Which is good and bad I suppose.” 

Verity looked at her. “What was that like though?” she asked her. “I mean, I always wanted to be an only child when I was younger, but I am also glad I have my sisters now even though they are far away.” 

[theveritysinclair]

ryancotter​:

“Ooh, new clothes” he smiled, “You’ll have to do a little fashion show for me, I like new clothes. I should go shopping soon, wanna come with me? I’ll buy you stuff” he asked, looking back at her. “Exactly, she doesn’t know me so I don’t know why she thinks she fucking does” he shook his head. “My prior occupation and drug addiction, I would assume.”

Verity chuckled. “Oh you know I am all for a good old fashion show, but only as long as you are honest and tell me if it actually looks ok or not, because some of the stuff I am not too sure about and I have not been able to contact Brendon for a while.” She told him. “Oh I’d love to! And no pressure on buying me stuff, you already spoil me with a bed and snacks.” She told him, which she forever would be grateful for. “Yeah well, people change.” Verity said, knowing very well that Ryan had. He had always been nice to her, even with her being a moody teenager, and yes he had a dark past, but he had changed. At least she thoughts so.

[theveritysinclair]

harmonyandrews​:

“I agree.” Harmony replied, feeling that Brendon was just the type of person who didn’t really dislike anyone, unless they gave him a really good reason to. “See, I was an only child myself. So I was used to a fairly quiet upbringing. I don;t want that for my daughter though, I always want for her to have someone to play with.” 

Verity smiled. “I am sure she will make a great big sister one day then.” She told her. “I miss my sisters sometimes, even though it could get a bit much sometimes.” She said, shrugging her shoulders.
