Dear next reader, whoever that may be,
It's the day after Halloween, and quite frankly I couldn't be happier. First of all, cheap candy. Who doesn't love that? Second of all, going by store logic, it's basically Christmas right now. I like walking through the city and seeing all the...
"Eh..." Lexi shrugged, frowning. "I don't know. Everyone's been talking about it. No one really seems happy about it, honestly, though I don't know why. I'm not sure what to think." Neither Russell or Autumn had told the two teens what exactly had happened. They had heard some bits and pieces...
Autumn sighed. "....No. I mean, I trust you, and I trust Russell, just... Not his judgement? You should have seen him when he saw the room - it was like he had found his second home. And you did see him at the dining room. He was stuffing his face." She sighed. "I just kinda wish he'd see...
Lexi just rolled her eyes. "I know, I know. I'll be here for a couple days, though, starting tomorrow." She finished her braid, crossing her arms. "I was just out with a friend, that's all." She was purposefully vague, not wanting to reveal who she was with, or where. Even though she could pay...
It felt nice, to not wake up with a nightmare. The other side of the bed was empty when Autumn woke up, though for once she did not worry. A sleepy smile graced her face, feeling warm and comfortable under the blankets. The sun was shining, and the room was warm and inviting. She laid in bed for...
Autumn calmed down at Gage's reassurances, though she still felt worried. "N-no, it's okay, I mean, supplies are already scarce enough," she said. She sighed, collapsing on the bed that she had slept on the night before. "I don't. I really don't know, Gage." She rubbed her head, her headache...
"No, nothing like that," Autumn muttered, glancing around as she slipped inside Gage's room. "It's just that, they found the supplies I hid in the vents. I had a little bit of food and some medicine, but if they were searching the suite, they somehow found it." She swallowed thickly, looking...
Roxy stood up, suddenly feeling anxious about what would happen. He wanted answers, and the ones she could give she was not willing to tell. Though she wanted her own answers, but she wasn't sure how she would be received at the building. From what she remembered, it could go one of two ways...
Gage wasn't there, though she hadn't really expected him to be, anyway. With a sigh, she unlocked the door and peered outside, deeming it safe. Though it was still too bright as she squinted, looking around. "Never again." Looking around, she exited the shed, closing the door behind her. She...
"Yeah. I stayed in his room, but we didn't do anything." Her face flushed as she said the words, remembering her little chat with Gage when they were just about to leave. "There were two separate beds." She just felt relieved that he didn't want her to leave, though she had noticed how he had...
Autumn had though about leaving, thinking Russell wasn't there, when he opened the door. She seemed a little disappointed when she answered, "He had to get some fresh air." It wasn't that she was disappointed that Gage couldn't accompany her, it was that Russell didn't seem as excited to see her...
By the time Gage had finished telling her of her drunken adventures, Autumn's face was a bright tomato red. She buried her face in her hands with a muffled groan. "Oh my god. Gage, you have got to be kidding me." The amount of embarrassment she felt was indescribable.
She was speaking in a...
"...God." When the brunette woke up the next morning, a killer headache and a dry mouth and throat greeted her. Spotting the glass of water by the bed, she immediately grabbed it and started drinking. She didn't stop until half of the water was gone, though her headache still killed her. The...
She nearly fell, when Gage let go of her. For once, she was quiet, startled in even her intoxicated state. She barely realized why Russell was so angry, she hadn't known what she had said wrong. All she knew was that Russell was speaking loudly, too loudly, and she winced. Autumn would not know...
Autumn felt miserable as she heaved, struggling to get a breath in between. It took her a whole fifteen minutes before she was finally able to stop and sit up. "A little." Her words slurred still, but they were coherent. Gage helped her up, and she was still unsteady, her balance off. It took...
"I think it's been a second by now," she mumbled, face pale. Him shaking her didn't help her sick feeling, in fact, it only made it worse. "Russell, stop that." She drank more of her water, feeling sicker by the minute. "I don't know what you're talking about. What papers? I didn't put them...
She let out a sound of protest when he took the cup from her. "Nooooo. Gage give it baack." Even sitting down, she was swaying slightly, she was that drunk. Gage came back, giving her another glass. It was clear, like what she had been drinking previously. It looked similar to her if she had...
"I'm fiiiine." Autumn swayed a little under the weight of his hand, the drink sloshing around in the cup. She giggled. "The wha-- OH." Digging around in her pockets, if she didn't make immediate contact with it, it wasn't there. "Nope!" she said cheerfully, her words slurred. She looked down at...
