bitter;

with old tunes jammin on my walkman, and some sour patch kids and a coke can.

No you won’t! Uck, here. Here! Take it! He wouldn’t want us fighting over it, so, you can have it.

Ugh! You ruined it. It already smells like you. You’re the worst Leah.

[waverlysimmons]

[waverlysimmons]

leahsimms​:

Okay if you wanna say it like that then I’ll say you had more time with him than any of us! 

I’m not taking it off! 

That’s not my fault, Leah! He got here before you! I made none of those decisions!

If you won’t take it off, I’ll take it off for you!

[waverlysimmons]

waverlywhite: “wavie, i can’t believe you got married. that’s disgusting.”

[waverlysimmons]

waverlywhite: oh little boy...

[waverlysimmons]

[waverlysimmons]

leahsimms​:

No. No, I remember him wearing this one. Not for a few years, at least, but I remember. It’s special and I barely have anything else of his. Why are you being so mean? 

-

That’s not true. You have more of his stuff than any of us. 

I’m not being mean! You’re just being a baby. Take it off!

[waverlysimmons]

leahsimms​:

Um…No!? It’s not yours either! It was in his storage box. It’s Christmas-time. I miss him. I’m going to keep it on.

You asked me if that’s all right, and it’s not! Take it off!

[waverlysimmons]

notwaverlyplace: Rooney White, you are my everything and I am honored to be your wife! I’m officially Waverly White!!

[leahsimms]

Oh yeah. I got it from his clothes storage bin. I hope that’s alright? I just…want him close to me during the holidays.

[waverlysimmons]

W-What? No! Leah!! Take it off! Take it off, Leah! Now!!! That’s not yours. 

[raecunningham]

Oh my God, I know! I don’t know how I didn’t suspect anything either, but I genuinely didn’t! The second I heard his voice up there and then saw my face, I legit froze. It’s all a blur, but, like, the best, surreal blur in the whole world.

[waverlysimmons]

I thought my proposal was romantic, Atti really topped Rooney.

[waverlysimmons]

notwaverlyplace: handsome boyyyyy

Agh, sure…You know…there’s a million different types of parenting. I try to look up one thing and Google has me feeling like my kid is fucked from the start if I don’t do this or that. 

Listen, I’ve been raising my siblings since I was like... thirteen. Keep ‘em alive, and they’ll be fine.

Broadway is either your thing or it’s not, so no offense taken. I’ve heard of Apollo too. I had a dude–Gage, I think? Banging on my door this morning pitching me this head to head studio rivalry but I don’t know if I’m about it. I’m trying to step away and just chill for a while. Plus, I know my teams would kick your asses, so, I don’t want to do ya’ll like that in your home town.

Uhh, yeah, probably Some of our best dancers graduated last year, so... I guess a new group of kids is rising but they aren’t quite at the top yet. I teach mainly rec classes and a few competition solos here and there if requested, but I’m not super competitive.

gagemarcello​:

I can’t believe it either! But let’s be honest, you two are great together. I can tell you’re both genuinely happy. So, how did it happen?

Rooney and I decided to take a trip for our anniversary. I had Leah watch the little ones, so it was just the two of us. We had both always wanted to go to Arizona, so we decided we would rent a little house in the desert, and just chill for a few days. One evening, we met up with a few friends we had made through the dance world and went on a hike, and at the top of the mountain, he stopped. He kinda took my waist and pulled me in close and he told me he loved me. But I could tell by the sound of his voice that he was nervous. He was like shaking. And he looked at me, and I could see him starting to tear up, and then he got down on one knee. I immediately started sobbing, and he goes on with this big speech about how he loves me and how he wants to be with me forever and how he can’t imagine his life without me. And so we’re both sobbing and I finally made him stand up and put the ring on my finger. There was never a doubt in my mind about saying yes. 

[waverlysimmons]

I can’t believe we’re getting married!

…I wish Koby were here to give ‘em the talk like a dad would. “Don’t you ever disrespect my sister” and all that stuff. Could you imagine him trying to be serious with Rooney? It makes me smile. He’d try so hard, but end up breaking down and hugging him anyways.

Oh, please! Koby gave him that talk back when we first started dating, but it definitely ended in just straight laughter. And I heard once that all of the dance guys were hanging out at the diner after a practice, and they were all talking about sex stuff, and as soon as Rooney opened his mouth to add onto the conversation, Koby plugged his ears and sang over him so he wouldn’t hear anything. God, I miss him, but I know he approved of Rooney, so I’m happy that they at least knew each other and that they were friends. You’d never know it by looking at him, but Rooney had a really hard time after Koby passed. He stayed strong for me, but when I was feeling better, he completely broke down. He’s such a cheery guy on the outside, but behind closed doors, he’s a gooey, emotional kid.
