Interactions: Mentions Cas & Aubrey
This week had gone in no way as Shayla had planned. To start off she had managed to find herself waking up the morning after the party with Cas in bed beside her. At first the sight made her smile but all too quickly reality plunged its knife into her heart and reminded her of what fate had in store. She could not let someone get close like that again because even casual hook ups risked emotional attachment that Shay didn’t want to become tangled in. For the rest of the week she had been on top of avoiding Cas like the plague. If they ended up in the same room together for any reason Shay would avoid her, ignore her, and if forced to interact she would be as cold as the void of space. Avoiding Shay became a slightly easier task as the week went on though for one reason Shay never would have expected…Aubrey. Early in the week Shay had come across the young woman acting recklessly and despite the fact that Aubrey hated her, for good reason, Shay found herself increasingly worried for the blonde. At some point this concern resulted in the ebony haired beauty making it her mission to observe Aubrey from afar and keep an eye on her to make sure she didn’t toss herself into the pit or get alcohol poisoning.
At one point during the week Shayla had been observing Aubrey from across a bar while keeping herself well hidden. When she noticed Aubrey was getting too carried away with the drinks Shayla stepped in and anonymously paid the bartender to start replacing the blonde’s shots with water since at this point, she doubted that Aubrey would notice. Several nights Shayla lingered behind Aubrey as the girl wandered around the compound, making sure she got home safely and knowing that if anyone caught her, she would certainly seem like a stalker. While the two of them were no longer friends, Shayla didn’t want Aubrey’s recklessness to result in her dead or hurt. She had no clue what was causing the blonde to act in such a way, but she found that it had been keeping her up at night. What was wrong with Aubrey? She was always brash, charging headfirst into everything put in front of her, but this was different than simply being brazen…it was bordering suicidal at points. Shay was at peace with her fate, but she was in no way at peace with the idea that Aubrey would go before her and would do everything she could to help avoid that. As always though the dark haired girl was cautious to make sure Aubrey never caught her helping because she knew that it would only make matters worse for the girl who used to be her best friend.
Little sleep was something Shay was familiar with at this point so as a new day of training rolled around she was already awake before the sun rose having been out late. About two hours of sleep had managed to find her during the night and the rest of the morning was spent cuddling Lev and trying not to dig her nails into her head to relieve the pain that came and went in harsh waves. The meds helped a bit the pains were getting worse and more frequent as they had for several years now. It was almost like a countdown that was growing more and more intense as the numbers grew smaller. When the time came for her to make her way to the training center the Dauntless-born girl quickly threw on some black jeans, a sports bra and tank top, as well as the classic pair of Dauntless boots everyone seemed to own. During her walk she managed to weave her hair into a thick and long pair of Dutch braids on either side of her head. The morning air had a slight chill to it that briefly left her skin covered in goosebumps before she adjusted to the temperature and quickly she warmed up as her body moved towards her destination.
Entering the training center Shayla watched the initiates trickling up the stairs from the barracks and followed them. It seemed that a good amount of them were headed towards the roof. On her way she noticed a few people going a bit slower than others and for a seconds wondered why before realizing that heights might be an issues for them. No one seemed to be retreating down the stairs at least which was a good sign overall. After many flights of stairs Shayla found herself pushing the door open and stepping out onto the roof. At first the sun caused her to blink a few times and squint her eyes, a slight pain shooting through her skull. A few seconds passed along with the pain and the dark-haired girl looked around the roof, searching for Cas and Aubrey, one to avoid and one to keep an eye on.
