 (—) ★ spotted!! nicholas lehoy on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid! many say that the age 28 year old looks like keith powers, but i don’t really see it. while the ex nfl player / actor is known for being straightforward, my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be manipulative. i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song power by kanye west 

 (—) ★ spotted!! joseph alpen on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid! many say that the age 22 year old looks like tom holland, but i don’t really see it. while the reality star / race car driver is known for being motivated my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be narrow minded. i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song seven nation army by the white stripes.

 (—) ★ spotted!! julietta arias on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid! many say that the age 26 year old looks like eva de dominici, but i don’t really see it. while the actress / model / onlyfans star  is known for being dedicated my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be standoffish. i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song scary part of me by sody.

“understandable, i’d be jealous too if i wasn’t me.” bianca commented dryly with a shrug of her shoulders as she looked at her nails before looking back towards him. “a murder charge? do i look poor to you?” she said with an arch of her brow. “if i were to commit murder, i obviously would never, ever get caught. nobody would ever believe that this pretty face could be capable of something so gruesome.” 

           “  if  there  was  one  person  i  would  think  was  capable  of  something  so  gruesome  ,  it  would  be  you  ,  “  no  need  to  use  his  charms  or  powers  of  persuasion  on  bianca  ,  the  two  cut  from  the  same  cloth  ,  capable  of  stroking  each  others  egos  or  being  straight  to  the  point  .  “  all  these  pregnancies  are  ruining  the  atmosphere  .  i  can’t  turn  around  with  seeing  some  pregnant  idiot  carrying  the  spawn  of  someone  even  worse  .  “

he wonders what he’s doing here. the text from the other had been unexpected  but the other couldn’t deny that it had warmed a part of his chest that had been severely lacking in love these days. archie had screwed things up with him in the past, not something he had even realised until after the fact and he had never quite been able to mend what had broken between the two of them but having the male parked out in his door way now gave him some hope that they could at least mend some sort of friendship. if he could make up with micah then surely he and joey could make things work? “messy seems to be my thing lately, i’m sorry about that.” it had been years ago now, when archie had managed to mess things up for the first time with him but that didn’t mean it hurt the other any less. “do you wanna come inside…you kinda might need to sit down after all the time out here if we’re gunna talk this shit out.” 

       he  hadn’t  came  there  with  the  intention  of  talking  things  out  ,  years  had  allowed  the  memories  of  their  friendship  gather  in  every  corner  of  his  life  like  dust  .  fists  had  flown  enough  time  ,  his  even  temper  easily  stirred  when  he  became  irate  but  that  energy  was  gone  now  and  dark  eyes  trail  to  the  ground  only  momentarily  before  refocusing  on  archie  .  “  if  i  come  inside  then  it  really  is  time  to  talk  ...  “  he  says  ,  humour  interjected  lightly  into  the  comment  despite  how  true  it  was  for  him  .  joey  was  never  a  person  that  was  good  at  talking  ,  in  the  end  maybe  that  was  what  had  led  them  here  ,  that  there  were  so  many  moments  when  he  should  have  said  exactly  what  was  on  his  mind  or  swallowed  his  pride  but  they  remained  locked  in  stale  mate  ,  the  angry  words  spewed  over  the  years  meant  to  cause  superficial  wounds  to  avoid  the  crushing  reality  that  their  friendship  had  shattered  into  pieces  .  his  hesitancy  seems  to  waver  ,  normal  uncomfortable  attitude  as  he  lets  out  a  sigh  and  then  nods  ,  unprompted  motion  as  he  walks  through  into  the  doorway  that  the  other  is  standing  in  ,  warmth  of  inner  home  radiating  but  he  doesn’t  seem  to  make  it  too  far  ,  lulling  against  the  next  connecting  doorway  ,  back  against  wall  .  “  i  thought  that  this  stuff  with  micah  would  make  me  hate  you  more  .  it  seemed  like  the  perfect  fuel  ,  that  i  could  finally  say  aha  ,  i  was  right  !  “  it’s  strange  ,  the  irony  of  it  all  ...  joey  waiting  forever  to  prove  himself  right  that  his  best  friend  was  destined  to  be  awful  ,  to  fall  into  the  moral  pot  holes  that  he  never  would  and  all  along  ,  it  had  been  that  which  had  made  his  facade  of  not  caring  come  crashing  down  ...  even  if  it  was  mainly  to  people  who  didn’t  seem  to  make  a  big  difference  .  he  swallows  ,  “  it  didn’t  ,  though  .  it  made  me  feel  worse  because  i  was  worried  about  you  .  and  that  ...  makes  no  sense  .  after  all  this  time  ,  i’m  still  just  a  loser  who  can’t  let  go  of  you  .  “

               sensitivity  is  a  personality  trait  many  masculine  individuals  took  as  an  offensive  term,  however  tobias  relished  in  it.  his  sensitivity  was  well  known  around  california,  especially  around  his  fans  who  witnessed  the  tears  he’d  shed  on  the  field  after  a  big  win  or  the  tightly  pulled  strings  of  a  hoodie  hiding  his  face  after  an  intense  break  up.  nick  had  initially  been  someone  toby  enjoyed  being  around,  actively  would  sought  him  out  in  a  crowd  and  buy  a  round  for  them  both  without  hesitation,  now  the  idea  of  him  caused  his  skin  to  crawl  and  insides  to  ignite  in  a  resentful  fire  he  wasn’t  used  to  enduring.  “  huh,  funny  how  that  works.  ”  words  are  cross,  eyes  refusing  to  meet  nick’s  as  he  raises  his  drink  towards  his  lips,  wishing  that  he’d  requested  company  for  this  evening  but  stuck  by  his  lonesome.  “  how  could  i  forgive  you  when  you’ve  given  me  absolutely  no  apology  for  it?  you  slept  with  my  fuckin’  girlfriend,  nick.  like  what  the  actual  fuck?  ”  feelings  for  ivy  had  been  dismissed,  but  the  hurt  still  resided,  especially  when  looking  towards  someone  he  thought  was  his  friend.

     slithers  into  gap  ,  the  presence  of  some  poisonous  creature  ,  although  despite  how  he  injects  negativity  into  all  his  interpersonal  relationships  ,  he  is  honest  in  his  own  way  .  somewhere  in  his  life  ,  perhaps  before  he  was  even  born  ,  nick  seemed  to  have  been  left  without  those  receptors  for  feelings  that  allowed  you  to  empathise  or  even  sympathise  with  others  .  his  fingers  tap  against  cool  bar  surface  as  he  sighs  ,  “  you’re  right  ,  tobias  .  from  the  bottom  of  my  heart  ,  i’m  sorry  ,  “  dark  eyes  focusing  on  the  other  whom  had  known  him  long  enough  to  know  that  if  he  was  genuinely  apologising  then  something  must  have  been  seriously  wrong  .  there  is  barely  a  pause  or  breath  before  he  opens  his  mouth  again  ,  “  that  you  thought  that  you  should  make  a  thot  like  ivy  your  girlfriend  and  then  were  surprised  she  cheated  .  if  i  was  a  bad  friend  then  i  would  have  allowed  you  to  continue  your  relationship  ,  i  was  clearly  doing  the  right  thing  by  sleeping  with  her  and  freeing  you  from  the  binds  of  your  toxic  relationship  ,  “  commendable  in  nick’s  opinion  ,  not  that  he  much  cared  for  loyalties  to  begin  with  .

Enzo would much rather be at home resting than at the event, but he was happy to smile with fans and answer questions. After all, that was the biggest reason he played the game. It was so much bigger than just him. Still, he was confused by the man that approached him, but his ears peaked when he heard what he was saying. As the words registered, it nearly set him off. It would have been so easy for Enzo in the past to say ‘fuck it,’ and go fuck with some girl. But, it was Ardy. She would never do that to him. If she even felt she’d crossed a boundary, she’d be rambling at him and in tears before he even knew what was happening. He knew her, and that was what he needed to keep telling himself. “That shit’s crazy man,” he said as he shoved his hands in his jacket’s pockets. “It’s fucked up what happens in this city, you know? What’s worse is how we feed off of it. We all clamor to see someone crash and burn. Still, not being able to trust your girl? Couldn’t be me, man.” 

       realising  his  initial  plan  wasn’t  successful  and  innovating  to  meet  the  idea  that  the  man  in  front  of  him  seemed  far  too  trusting  ,  nick  wondered  if  he  had  under-fired  and  should  have  been  playing  the  long  game  .  his  compulsion  for  drama  seeming  to  be  what  he  fed  on  and  in  his  experience  ,  it  was  the  betrayals  that  took  the  longest  that  had  the  biggest  pay  off  .  he  turns  his  phone  screen  off  to  save  ruining  the  long  term  surprise  .  “  i  know  .  i  thought  that  when  i  came  to  la  it  would  be  all  glitz  ,  glamour  ,  fun  ...  but  this  is  truly  the  city  of  heartbreak  ,  “  thank  god  he  had  gotten  into  acting  because  he  deserved  an  academy  award  for  his  performance  as  a  regular  human  being  &  now  heartbroken  -  ex  -  nfl  player  -  number  -  one  ,  “  when  i  first  moved  out  here  i  was  just  messing  around  with  all  these  different  girls  but  i  found  one  ,  she  seemed  so  different  ...  we  were  dating  for  eight  months  and  then  i  found  out  through  tmz  that  she  was  fucking  the  director  the  whole  time  ...  it’s  the  ones  you  least  expect  .  at  least  the  rest  are  upfront  about  how  untrustworthy  they  are  ,  “  this  probably  seemed  like  a  man  who  was  over  sharing  due  to  his  trauma  rising  but  nick  was  just  making  things  up  .  his  experience  with  heart  break  just  the  many  women  he  managed  to  scorn  on  the  way  out  of  the  door  .

       there  was  only  one  nicholas  lehoy  .  that  was  a  good  thing  for  humanity  and  a  terrible  thing  for  dilys  who  had  fallen  foul  to  being  his  only  one  true  hinge  in  life  ,  the  focus  of  all  his  attention  &  energy  .  of  course  ,  for  periods  he  lapsed  and  ran  around  ,  entertainment  sought  through  his  normal  behaviours  but  he  returned  ,  the  most  loyalty  he  had  shown  to  another  human  being  in  his  life  .  pinched  features  as  if  experiencing  real  emotional  turmoil  ,  just  a  little  but  still  enough  to  show  when  he  says  ,  “  it  hurts  me  that  you  think  i  need  to  tell  lies  to  get  women  to  want  to  sleep  with  me  .  i  just  have  to  tell  them  that  the  woman  that  i  want  keeps  turning  me  down  and  their  legs  come  undone  as  quick  as  their  sympathies  ,  “  still  ,  that  look  of  defeat  ,  depression  ...  emotions  that  he  has  never  felt  despite  his  inability  to  regulate  his  competitive  nature  ,  his  fall  from  grace  epic  and  leaving  him  thudding  to  the  ground  and  yet  he  lacked  any  relationship  to  the  disappointment  of  his  short  lived  career  besides  rage  at  everyone  who  refused  to  allow  him  to  make  the  quick  recovery  that  he  wanted  .  "  oh  ,  really  ?  “  he  asks  ,  tilting  his  head  with  mock  interest  (  although  his  interest  in  her  was  always  real  ,  the  sentiment  was  entertaining  )  ,  “  are  you  scared  that  i  won’t  still  love  you  when  i  see  who  you  really  are  ?  “  he  asks  this  question  already  knowing  the  answer  ,  she  doesn’t  care  about  his  affections  and  he  doesn’t  care  that  she  doesn’t  care  .  it’s  beautiful  .  “  don’t  worry  ,  i’ll  still  love  you  when  your  halo  falls  off  and  shatters  .  that’s  the  difference  between  me  and  all  those  other  guys  ,  “  he  bites  his  tongue  ,  not  to  stop  any  further  talking  but  to  restrain  his  grin  as  he  lifts  his  index  to  gently  poke  her  on  the  tip  of  her  nose  .

“now now, darling nicholas, are you jealous?” bianca asked, pout of her lips as head tilted to the side - voice drenched with sarcasm because she knew that if anyone was as soulless as she was, it was the male in front of her. “when a man asks you to ruin his life forever, how could a gal say no to an offer as delicious as that? besides. this is only my first marriage and on one’s first time is ever memorable.”

     “  jealous  ?  i’ll  always  be  jealous  when  it  comes  to  you  ,  bianca  ,  “  they  both  know  he  is  lying  ,  the  underlining  emotion  of  his  always  being  perversion  ,  entertainment  ,  seeking  excitement  .  he  listens  to  her  reasoning  and  it  doesn’t  raise  an  eyebrow  ,  unconcerned  by  the  nature  of  her  reasoning  .  “  just  don’t  waste  a  murder  charge  on  this  one  .  you  need  to  save  that  for  the  real  thing  ,  “  sage  advice  .

               “  shit  man,  social  anxiety  ain’t  a  joke.  ”  elijah  grew  up  with  an  extrovert  personality;  introversion  would’ve  caused  irrevocable  damage  to  their  adventures,  being  alone  and  navigating  the  real  world  before  legally  considered  an  adult  by  the  government.  “  i’m  sure  you’d  have  fun,  though!  just  gotta  like  —  find  your  crowd  and  all  that  shit.  ”  hand  moves  to  lightly  clap  on  joey’s  shoulder  with  a  smile  cascading  over  features,  always  one  to  try  and  make  individuals  feel  welcome  and  included.  “  and  if  that  doesn’t  work,  well  liquid  courage  always  seems  to  do  the  trick  and  silence  all  the  nasty  voices  in  your  head.  ”  hand  falls  to  their  side  before  taking  another  sip  of  their  beer,  body  now  fully  turned  towards  joey.  “  —  but  you  don’t  gotta  go  out  of  your  comfort  zone  to  make  people  happy,  either.  if  it  isn’t  your  scene,  don’t  force  it,  dude.  ”

           unusually  entertained  ,  not  by  the  speech  or  encouragement  about  him  finding  his  people  but  by  the  thought  of  introversion  being  an  unattractive  option  .  it  seemed  to  him  that  the  best  thing  that  had  ever  happened  to  him  was  his  unique  interest  in  minding  his  own  business  and  keeping  the  peace  .  the  chuckle  frees  ,  smile  large  on  his  face  ,  “  liquid  courage  never  ends  well  ...  haven’t  you  seen  tv  ?  i  mean  ,  that’s  what  i  base  all  my  social  interactions  on  &  tit  always  ends  in  embarrassment  or  puking  ,  “  he’s  joking  about  observing  through  tv  ,  being  a  reality  star  giving  him  enough  observation  of  real  human  interaction  for  a  lifetime  .  he  did  imagine  drinking  ending  horribly  for  him  ,  though  ,  the  thought  of  bearing  his  soul  and  not  remembering  it  the  next  day  earth  shattering  .  he  enjoys  the  encouragement  ,  it  reminds  him  of  his  siblings  ,  older  brother  specifically  .  “  what’s  your  comfort  zone  ?  “  he  asks  ,  making  conversation  but  also  teasing  ,  “  i  might  need  to  make  a  list  so  i  can  start  testing  them  out  ...  find  my  new  scene  ,  “  he  laughs  .
