Sawyer
​

Sawyer's hand still stung slightly but Grace grabbing it and inspecting it made her feel a lot better about it happening at all. With Doctor Grace's inspection and passing of her hand injury, Sawyer was left with a warm feeling churning about in the pit of her stomach. She knew Grace wasn't ready to tell anyone yet, but Sawyer was about ready to burst. It was very hard for her to hide her affection for the people she loved in general, but this thing with Grace was a whole other beast. Sawyer found herself just sitting there staring at her super top secret girlfriend. The fire dancing across Grace's facial features didn't make anything better because it just made her want to stare even more.


This was probably at the point where it would be weird to anyone else around them, but she couldn't make herself drag her eyes away. Faint conversation about alcohol could be heard around her, but Sawyer had no interest in drinks when just sitting here staring at Grace was making her drunk enough. Ryan started talking about songs and somehow produced a guitar when Sawyer finally managed to pull herself out of whatever reverie she had just been in.


"Ohhhh, campfire songs, how....aesthetic of you." Sawyer laughed and looked to Ash in waiting for whatever she might suggest. In the sand, Sawyer's hand scooted just close enough to Grace's that she could wrap her pinky around the other girl's and not have it be glaringly obvious, "Kumbaya, my lord! Kumbaya!" Sawyer practically yelled up into the air, laughing as she did.

A sleepy smile sifted onto Nova's features at their permission to leave, nodding her head as she placed her hand down to push herself up from the sand. The day was dimming fast, and the breeze was only getting colder, biting at her bare legs and threatening to get her sick. She instantly regretted standing up and away from Jace, she missed his warmth already and reaching down for his hand with a small whine. She got like this when she was cold and tired, a little pouty and needy. Not wanting to wait, she grabbed his hand and pulled him up and towards the direction of the truck, not wasting any time in snuggling back into the blonde's side with a small hum.

"You ask a good question my dear," The small girl rubbed at her hazel eyes, both hands softly gripping Jace's arm as she stole warmth off of him. She really didn't want to spend time at her house, she was almost embarrassed of it after seeing the West residence. But then again, showing up in no pants to the blue eyed boy's place didn't sound great either. Nova's parents were pretty relaxed when it came to boys... sometimes. But she decided that she didn't want to have to deal with introductions tonight. Maybe tomorrow... or next week. "That couch of yours sounds pretty great right now," Nova smiled up at Jace, as they reached her the truck, unlocking it and opening the back seat. She quickly grabbed her shorts, only semi damp instead of soaking now, that had been air drying on the rim of the bed and threw them in before turning back to her date. "Although I am sort of without pants... which creates a problem in it- wait!" Nova quickly grabbed her emergency bag and dug through it, pushing past tank tops and jeans that didn't fit and pulling out a pair of white sweatpant-material jobbers. She knew they would be loose, and maybe not the most flattering, but none the less, they were warm. "Thank God," Quickly, Nova pulled on the pants, nodding her head and looking back up to the cutie before her. "Your place," She decided before hopping into the truck, waiting for Jace to do the same.

"Oh, no I'm good. Thank You." Kanen answered after Martin asked him if he wanted anything to drink. Truthfully, Kanen would kill for something to drink, but he didn't want to take anything from Stu or his father. He'd already taken enough from them.

"I just thought it'd be nice to stop by.." Kanen spoke, taking a seat next near the bed. He took the nuggets, but only set them to the side. Food didn't sound all that great right now.

Kanen smiled to himself as the smaller boy allied about the party. "Yeah.." He laughed. "I think ou and me both won't be having anything else to drink for a very long time." He paused for a moment. "You shouldn't totally abstain from parties though. Alcohol sure, but parties can be a good time. Just gotta be a little more careful...Don't take any stupid dares."

Dang she was strong when she was tired. Jace was pulled up so quickly, and then used again as a personal space heater even faster. We're all girls this handsy? Eh, he didn't really mind. It made him happy, and special, to have Nova all cozied up to him like this. And for some reason, he wasn't cold at all from the cool night air.

"Sounds perfect." Jace grinned, laughing a bit when she mentioned his couch. It was comfortable, and he'd spent many a night passed out there instead of in his bed. As she started ranting about her lack of pants, Jace instantly thought about offering to loan her some of his, but she'd already pulled out a pair of sweatpants and was pulling them on. "You look like an attractive punk freshman." Jace said with a grin since Winona went to school with sassy freshman who wore those all. The. Time. Little punks.

Anyway, he climbed into the car, rubbing his hands together as the cold finally started to freeze him. "Let's go." He said, thankful.

Ash had been carefully considering what song to suggest when out of seemingly nowhere, Sawyer started yelling to play Kumbaya. She laughed, looking over at Ryan's friend. "You heard her. Kumbaya it up, Ryan." Ash said, laughing again as she let go of him so he could actually play. To be honest, she'd had no idea he could play the guitar. It was nice to learn something new about him.

She looked around the fire at the others gathered, and was glad that she'd decided to come. And what a way to now spend the night, with her date, and her best friend and Sawyer. For once, Ash felt complete.

He nodded his head. "Of course," Mason said, and glanced back towards Georgia before hopping closer to June, almost like a protective dog or something. If he didn't have the crutches, he probably would've out his arm around her. But sadly, the crutch was, of course in the way of that.

"Wanna go sit by the fire or something?" He asked. No, Mason wasn't going to bring up earlier, and no, he wasn't going to apologize. He was still peeved, and wished that she'd at least asked for his permission.​

Ryan had let o.j ut a little laugh when Sawyer had given her request. "How am I not surprised you say something like that yea dork." He said as he slowly started to play kumbia. He started to sing along g. After that was done he slowly started to play the campfire song song. He knew both, just like he knew that Sawyer would ask for that song after Kumbia. "I got one that I think I got one that you guys might like." He said as he slowly started to play a song that a few of them should know.

June
​

She looked over at him and wanted to smile, but she couldn’t help to keep on thinking about his face when he yelled at her and the hurt she felt. “Thank you.” She said softly before looking to the bonfire. “Yeah let’s go back to the fire. I think I see Ryan with a guitar or something. Also, you probably need to rest your leg.” She said looking down at his cast and started to slowly walk with him.

She wanted to bring up the argument again, but she needed him or her not to storm off. Maybe later, she dreaded talking about it a second time. So she sat on the log and looked at him. “Is there, like, sand in your cast by now?”

Grace​

Grace didn't ignore the looks from Sawyer, she caught her eye and smiled brightly at her. When Ryan brought out the guitar, Grace practically bounced from excitement. She blushed when Sawyer subtly held her hand, she was glad Sawyer distracted everyone from noticing her cheeks by yelling out the song. She admired her as she did so, how did she care so much about one person?

She shook her head, in disbelief. and laughed hard at the antics from her friends, and her girlfriend. It was still so incredibly amazing to call her that. She slipped on the rest of her clothes as they were dry about now. But still took her seat next to Sawyer, clasping their secret hands together.

"As long as I'm still attractive," Nova cooed with a grin as she turned the nobs on the AC, blasting the heat and shivering just a bit. She hated the cold, but at the same time it was making Maine feel like home, like her rainy Washington. As long as Jace was around while it got cold, she would be fine.

Bringing the car to life, the brunette made the trek from the beach to the trail and back to the main road. Headlights dotted the night road and Nova turned on the same Alec Benjamin CD that the two had listened to on the drive down, '1994' coming through the speakers and bringing that signature smile to her face. It was one of her favorites on the album, and she couldn't help but softly sing along. "Do you wanna grab anything to eat while we're out?" She asked as the bridge of the song came, looking over to Jace. Her eyes widened then, watching as the blonde sat shirtless in the passenger seat. Nova looked down at herself at a red light before squeaking in slight embarrassment. "Oh my god!" Quickly, the brunette stripped off the button down that she had been wearing, tossing it gently to Jace before the light turned green again. "I totally forgot I was wearing that, I'm so sorry, you must be freezing," Cheeks flushed bright red as she spoke, her eyes darting over to the blue eyed boy apologetically. It didn't last long though, as her features softened and she cooed "But when we get to your place I'm taking one of your t-shirts."

Ryan had just finished playing when his phone went off. It was his mother's phone. He put the guitar down and stepped away before answering it. His mother was crying. He asked her what she was crying. Through the tests and sobs he could only make out two words. "Father and dead." Ryan fell to his knees. His dad was dead. He had only spent a couple of days with him. He felt a pain in his heart. He lost someone that meant a lot to him.

He got up and hobbled over to his bike. The only thing he put on were his coat and his helmet. He got on his bike and pulled out of the parking lot. In seconds the rumble from his engine was gone. He was gone for a few minutes.

He didn't notice the mini van, just like he didn't notice the red light that he had. What happened next was graphic. Ryan had ran the red light, and the mini van had full on hit him. The next thing he knew he was on the ground. At least both his legs and arms broken. He was lucky. If he didn't have his helmet on, he would have died. It had taken a couple of hours before anyone knew what had happened to him.

Sawyer
​

Sawyer was perfectly content to just sit there and listen to Ryan sing and play guitar, occasionally joining in when she knew what he was singing. At some point Grace and dried off and put all her over clothes back on, much to Sawyer's disappointment, and just out right held Sawyer's hand when she sat back down. Sawyer smiled at her and let out a rather content sounding sigh through her nose.


Ryan's phone went off and he marched away to answer it. Sawyer watched his silhouette in the distance fall to his knees only to get back up again and make straight for his bike. Sawyer frowned as she watched him go and decided that she wasn't about to just watch him storm away from somewhere again. They weren't going through the first day of school twice.


"I'm sorry. We gotta go." Sawyer apologized more to her girlfriend than to everyone else as she jumped up, pulling Grace along with her. "Something just happened and I'm not about to let him run away again."


Sawyer climbed into her car and once Grace was secure inside she took off after Ryan. Following his bike's tail lights through the dark, they came to a stop light. Sawyer slammed on the brakes and stopped the car right behind the light only to watch a minivan plow straight into Ryan in front of them. She couldn't hear if she screamed or not because suddenly everything just sounded like white noise as she stumbled out of the car. Sawyer told Grace to call the police over her shoulder and took off as fast as she could to the place where Ryan was laying. A few cars screeched to halts all around them but Sawyer wasn't paying any attention to those. Skin scraped against asphalt as Sawyer tumbled down next to Ryan on her knees. Broken in mangled in front of her was her best friend. Clouds fogged over Sawyer's vision and she could feel her throat getting raw from yelling words she couldn't hear. She could feel her lips forming his name but no sound reached her ears.


And here she thought things were getting better.

Grace
​

Grace was sitting down with Ash, when Sawyer told her they had to go, "Uh, yeah sure." She could tell Sawyer was shaken, she just wasn't sure about what. once Sawyer spoke again she realized she was talking about Ryan.

They followed Ryan's bike. When Sawyer slammed on the breaks, Grace put an arm out to protect Sawyer, out of instinct. Her eyes widened when she saw the car hit Ryan. She stood there for a second in shock, unmoving as Sawyer got out of the car. When Sawyer yelled back to tell her to call the ambulance. She fumbled with her phone for a few seconds.

"911, what's your emergency?"

Jace

"You're always attractive." Jace pointed out, as if it had to be something that was just common knowledge at this point. Obviously everyone had to know that she was good looking -- after all, I mean, *look at her.* And Ryder had thought she was good looking enough to steal his girl, which he was still mildly peeved about and would complain to Ash about later. Maybe he should call him out on Twitter or something. Bring Minuteman back into the light.

Jace had been bingeing some Alec Benjamin, mostly just so that he could understand Nova's love of the musician -- and she could see why at this point. He listened to the songs, humming to what he didn't know and singing the lyrics he did recognize. "I'm not hungry. Like, obviously we can stop if you want to, but I'm good." Right. Yes. Was that smooth, or panicky and awkward? Jace didn't even know anymore when it came to what he said. "No, no. I'm fine." Although he was shivering a bit, and his skin had broken out in goosebumps. He was grateful as he picked up the shirt, pulling it on but not buttoning it. It faintly smelled like Nova, something that he noticed and then felt like a creeper for noticing. Who recognized the scents of people? He quickly shook any of those creeper thoughts from his mind, and instead focused back on the conversation. "Go ahead. You can borrow whatever of mine you want." Jace laughed. He didn't really wear a ton of the clothes that he owned, after all. Just a few button downs and mainly skinny jeans.

Ash

She thought nothing of it when Ryan stood up and walked away on his phone. After all, Ash had ditched him twice for Ryder (bad decision on her part), and now he was gone. She stayed by the fire, wrapping her arms around herself since, well, the fire could only do so much to warm her in the cold. Every once in a while, her gaze would glance towards Ryan... and then he was gone. And before she knew it, she could faintly hear his motorcycle, and then she was alone. And soon after that, Sawyer grabbed Grace and the two of them left to follow after him -- which yes, she was thankful for, but now she was even more alone.

Wow. This had to be the record for worst date, and quickest that a night had gone to hell for her. Ash looked around the fire, for once feeling alone. It was strange -- she was popular, and had plenty of friends, but didn't seem to have any of those now. So instead she sat there, staring into the fire, and questioning why she had ruined this date.

Mason

"Oh please. If this stupid leg wanted rest, it wouldn't of gone and gotten broken." Mason grumbled, glaring angrily down at his leg. Despite his strong feelings about it, he was thankful for the break after struggling through so much of the sand. Walking through sand was annoying normally, but with crutches, it was absolutely treacherous. "But yeah, fires are nice." He agreed and hobbled his way over, taking a seat beside the fire and stretching his legs out in front of him, crutches next to him.

"Yeah, probably. I lost a penny in there, too, so whatever." He shrugged. The cast was such a hindrance, and every time he looked at it, Mason just found himself more angry at Kanen for causing such a thing. "You gonna tell me what happened with Georgia?" He asked, pushing his anger down for the time being.

Steven had been 4 hours into his 12 hour shift when he got the call about a accident. He flashed his lights and away he went. After a few minutes he found them. He quickly jumped into action. Within minutes he had the kid ready to move. He looked at the girls. "He's gonna be just fine." He said as he moved him into the ambulance. "follow me." He said rushing to a hospital.

Steven got the kid to hospital as quick as he could. He was in braces and it took him inside. After that he done. But he waited until the kid was out of surgery. He was sitting in the room when the doctor came in. The two girls were in there as well.

"Hello, I'm Dr.Swan lee. Are you both friends of Mr. Maxwell. Well I have good news and bad news." She said." The good news is he's out of harms way. The bad news is he's in a coma and we don't know when he's going to wake up. I'm truly sorry." She said walking over to his bed. "He'll remain here till he wakes up." She said sighing. That was all they could do.

She looked over at his leg too. She hoped it healed quick. She hated seeing him like this. But she couldn’t help with fixing it, obviously. She laughed a little when he mentioned he lost a penny in there. “Oh well that’s a shame.” She looked to the fire and frowned instantly when he asked about Georgia.

Everyone has secrets. “Oh that. I don’t know. But it’s not important right now in all honestly.” She said waving her hand around and sighing. She felt scared to open up to him again, even when she wanted to. She felt the desire to keep it to herself if she knew what was best for her.

She wasn't incredibly hungry, and more than anything wanted to go back to being under Jace's arm. His slight rambling made the brunette flash a quick smile before she nodded her head, turning the truck and heading more towards Jace's. They weren't far, and she couldn't wait to be out of the car.

Although one thing was good about the truck ride so far... and that was how spectacular the blonde looked. He was at least a little at ease, the unbuttoned shirt look suiting him well and whatever the ocean breeze had done to his hair was phenomenal. It still baffled Nova that someone hadn't taken him by the collar one day and just told him how cute he was, and while Nova didn't exactly do that, she figured someone would have at least mentioned it to him by now. He was talented, sweet, warm, kind, and that about fit all the qualifications for Nova. Now all she had to do was not bore Jace to death, and she figured she was well on her way to something pretty serious. "I'd be careful with saying I can borrow anything, Jace," She smirked slightly, pulling into the blonde's drive and parking the roaring monster she claimed as a vehicle.

Quickly grabbing her phone and keys, Nova rushed to the door, allowing Jace to open it before bolting to his room. She was freezing, her hands like ice and her teeth almost chattering. "Maine cold is so much colder than Washington cold," She grumbled as she tossed her things on the floor next to the couch before turning to Jace's closet. The yellow tank that had sheltered her temporarily was worn and old, and really, she just wanted to be comfortable. Unaware, and frankly, unashamed, Nova pulled the thin piece of fabric over her head and tossed it into the pile of her things, flicking through Jace's t-shirts that were hung and smiling when she found a plain black one, slightly faded, with 'Taylor Guitars' written in a vintage font. "I might steal this one from you," Nova winked, slipping the shirt on. Her smile only brightened as she realized just how big it was, meaning it had to have been at least a little big on Jace, right? The shirt fell to around her mid-upper thigh, engulfing her and showing off just how tiny she was.

Ignoring the fact that she was drowning in clothes, the brunette quickly grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch, plopped down and spread it over herself, tapping the space next to her for Jace to sit, her eyes wide and so incredibly happy. This was everything she wanted, just to be on a couch, boy's clothes, and a big blanket. "C'mere, handsome. I'm cold and in need of a movie," The words came so easy to Nova as she looked up at the boy who was still in the doorway, her comfort level around Jace increasing by the minute. And unfortunately for Jace, Nova rarely took no for an answer when it came to cuddle time.

Raven

​

Raven sighed heavily, her mother still wasn't answering the phone. Crossing her arms, she made herself comfortable. Waiting for a call back, God this woman was never dependable. Why did she even agree to the ride? Raven knew it was stupid. But she just wanted to enjoy a day without any drama. Was that so much to ask? Of course it was. Looking around the bonfire out of boredom, Her eyes landed on the cheerleader she talked to the other day. She didn't seem as cheery again.

"Hey, hermoso." She eyed the girl. "It's been a minute." She smiled towards her. "You good?" She asked Ash. It was her second time tonight asking a girl if she was okay. She hoped this time she'd get a real answer. Her gaze turned to the two that made their way near the fire, taking a seat a little ways from her. At least Mason and June made up.. Rolling her eyes at the two, she turned back towards Ash, waiting for an answer.

Sawyer
​

All in a rush Sawyer was back in her car following an ambulance carrying her best friend back to the hospital. Sawyer had always hated hospitals. When her grandmother passed away she'd had to sit in a hospital for hours on end waiting for the doctors to come out and tell them. Hospitals smelled like bleach and death and she hated their guts.


Some doctor came out and informed them that Ryan was going to be okay, thank god, but was comatose. They followed him back to the room Ryan was in and Sawyer took one look at him and couldn't hold it in anymore. She turned away and buried her face in Grace's shoulder, those ever so rare salty tears pouring down her face.


She'd seen him get hit. Seen him laying broken on the asphalt. Seen him get rushed away. And now she couldn't even look at him laying safe in a hospital bed. Fucking hell.

Grace
​

Grace sat with Sawyer, looking down at the hospital floor, an arm wrapped around her. Attempting to comfort her anyway she could've. She was shocked at what happened. But she didn't cry, she was trying to be strong for Sawyer. She looked up when the doctors approached. Hoping for the best. She nodded when they asked if they were Ryan's friends, being the voice for Sawyer when she was too broken to speak.

"Thank you." She said to the doctor that informed them, right when Sawyer threw herself into her shoulder, she just held her. Her heart was breaking in more ways then one. But she was glad to hear that Ryan wasn't dead. "I know." Grace told her, brushing Sawyer's hair back. She closed her eyes, as she held her tightly. a single tear falling. "I know."

[IMG='align:right;']https://i.imgur.com/03oIiJy.jpg[/IMG]Stu shrugged. ‘I don’t know. . . I wasn’t even planning on drinking but. . . I don’t know why, I just did.’ He looked at Kanen a little funny when he said something about a stupid dare. He didn’t remember any stupid dares. Then he said: ‘Well my Dad’s pretty upset about it. He doesn’t say it. But I’ve seen him with the bills. . . It must be so expensive to put me here for a week, and he hasn’t got much. He’s just started his new job. I’m so stupid.’

He tried scratching his back and he’d been itching to get out of the bed for several days. He thought hospital beds would be a bit more comfortable, especially considering how expensive it was to sleep in them.

‘But. . . thanks, for stopping by and stuff. You didn’t have to. Really.’

Stu glanced at the watch Officer Richards gave him. Either the watch was broken or it was really getting really quite late. But Kanen had just gotten here, and he thought it would be a lot less awkward if they were doing something, anything.

‘Um. . . would you uh. . . wanna see a film or something for a bit? I’m kind of bored. I mean, if you’re not in a hurry or anything.’

He passed Kanen the comic book and pulled Dad’s computer onto his lap instead, with a little grunt. They never came to fix the television so Stu and his dad had had to share the laptop between them for work and entertainment.

‘My Dad teaches history,’ he told Kanen as he scrolled through the movies folder. Gladiator and Ben Hur and all that came up right away. ‘We must have seen these movies a dozen times. . . Do you like the Lord of the Rings?’

Jace

Jace's eyes widened, and he was panicking for a moment over something completely different than usual. "Wait... wait, what's that supposed to mean?" He asked, wondering what else she intended to borrow. His hairbrush? Laptop? Toothbrush? His... okay, so that was like all Jace had of value that he wouldn't lend to someone. Or... what if she meant... his beanie. That was one thing Jace would never lend out, and his biggest desire was just to get home to have it sit neatly on his head again. Heck, Jace even slept with the damn thing. Him and that beanie had been through a lot together, and it was his favorite thing.

When they got to his room, Jace immediately rushed to his desk where he had left his yellow beanie. He quickly grabbed it and pulled it on, sighing in relief and letting his eyes drift closed as he just relished in the warmth on his head. Ah. A certain weight lifted off of him, and he glanced back at Nova going through his clothes, his hands still gripping the yellow beanie. "Huh? Oh, yeah, if you want. I don't really wear that anymore." He shrugged. That shirt had mostly been one for sleeping in, or when he'd sit home all day drinking pop and practicing music or playing video games. Yes. Jace played games.

Now reunited with his beanie, he smiled when he saw how comfy Nova got and so quickly. Jace returned to the couch, grabbing the remote and then sliding underneath the blanket with Nova. Ah. Now this was comfort, and this was the way to spend life. Cozied up under a blanket with movies, a beanie, and a super sweet girl. That bonfire nonsense was annoying, and he was glad that he'd decided that Ash would be fine and decided to leave. "Do you want to watch The Walking Dead? Or an actual movie?" Jace asked. Jeez. He must've really been feeling the affection today if he was suggesting zombies.

Ash

Ash glanced at Raven, not really wanting to talk or open up to someone she'd met once, when said girl had been with Ryan, and he had undoubtedly made moves on her. Heck, Ash was straighter than a ruler and she wanted to make a move on Raven, so she just shook her head at first, unsure of what to say. She was feeling lonely. She was feeling sad. She was feeling as if dating was a waste of time because one way or another, she fucked it up.

"Ryan ditched me." She finally admitted, and then sighed heavily. "And... he was my ride." So now she'd probably end up walking home, in wet clothes, alone. Well, at least once she'd made it home, she could cuddle her ferret. He would never abandon her, or cheat on her... probably because he was locked in a cage and couldn't run away. If he was a dog, he'd probably have left her for someone better, like everyone else did. "But I guess whatever. It was bound to happen."

Mason

He was glad that somehow, he'd managed to cheer her up. At least a little bit. After all, a good amount of the reason June was so upset was because about earlier. And as much as he didn't want to talk about it, there was nothing else happening, and he might as well air out his personal feelings about it. But ugh, feelings sucked. "So, about the hospital bills..." He trailed off, trying to think of how to word his, well, words. "Look, I wasn't mad about the whole paying for them thing. I was mad about not being asked. Like, I have so little control over my life that something small like that is all I get."

Mason sighed. Damn, this sucked, and he was still mad. But he could sweep that away to at least make amends. He was great at shoving away his true feelings in favor of something that others would find more palatable. "Like, I told you about the bitch." Adriane. That was Adriane. "She did that. She bought things for me without even asking if I wanted it to be done. And like, it made me feel..." he hesitated, again struggling with his words. "Stuck. Like I owed her something, and even when the relationship got bad, I couldn't leave her because I owed her for everything she'd done for me. And I don't want that with you."

June

She looked at him when he mentioned the hospital bills again, placing her hands on the log to pick at it as he talked. She sighed a bit, now understanding where his displeasure lied. “I’m sorry. You’re right I should have told you. But, I was afraid you would deny it.” She told him honestly. “You deserve a chance too in this world. To help others you care about and I just saw that and wanted to finally help too. But now I understand, I’ll tell you if I ever do that again. But I highly doubt I’ll pay for any more medicial bills.” She smiled gently before frowning once again.

“I want to be open with someone. I really hate keeping everything inside, it’s...” She glanced at the fire then back to him. “It’s like a fire that spreads in my chest. I just want someone to be there for me when I need them. And I’m sorry again for thinking that was a way to keep you with me.” She reached out and gently held his hand.

Ryder

The party had begun to wind down, people scattering about in small groups or leaving all together. After aiding his siblings in packing up the grill and some other stuff, the twins decided to sit by the fire and relax with their friends. It had been an exhausting day, but so far no one had gotten hurt and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

"He did what?" Ryder asked, having heard his best friend's sad confession as he walked up. The distraught look on his best friend's face made his chest hurt and he clenched his fists so hard he thought he might draw blood. Sitting beside the short blonde, he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close with a frown. "I'm gonna f*cking kill him." He grumbled, rubbing a large hand across the blonde's back.

Alaska

Alaska had joined the few people still gathered around the fire, frowning as she saw her brother go over to comfort Ash. The cheerleader was more Ryder's friend than hers, but she still enjoyed her company and felt protective of her. After the Lexi incident, Ash had been the only one to not hate her brother, even going as far as to confront him and ask him what had really happened. Since then the two had become almost sibling-like, it seemed the blonde was the only girl at Westbrook safe from Ryder's player ways.

"We can take you home if you'd like? Or you can come over and have an ice cream eating contest." She offered, smiling gently at the blonde. The hockey player had almost no friends besides Drake, and she could use someone like Ash to hang around with more.

"We could give you a ride too." Alaska turned to Raven, unsure if she even needed one but more than willing to spend more time with the flirty brunette.

The second Jace was under the blanket Nova's mood was soaring. This is all she had wanted for the past few days, to just lay down on a couch with another human being. Sure, she could binge watch by herself, be under a big blanket by herself, but what fun with that? Plus, she couldn't help but internally scream at how cute Jace looked in that yellow beanie. Nova loved how attached he was to the thing, and reaching up to tug it down slightly over his ears.

Taking in a deep breath, the brunette shrugged her shoulders at the question. Of course she loved The Walking Dead, but then again, she knew Jace wasn't a fan. "How about you pick a movie," She cooed lightly, slinking down and nudging her head into the crook of Jace's neck. She was exhausted, like pass-out-for-what-feels-like-a-week tired. But she would never let that show more than it needed. She really did want to watch a movie, she wanted to watch the blonde's face react to the screen, she wasn't to listen to his laugh, she wanted to start soaking him in because he was too wonderful not to. "Netflix just released a bunch of rom-coms if you're into that sort of thing," A small yawn filtered through Nova's lips as she moved her hand up to rest on Jace's chest, feeling more comfortable like this. His warmth was surely going to be a danger to Nova... or really good for her napping schedule.

Sighing, Nova tilted her head to look at the screen, not daring to lift it from it's comfy position. "You keep me warm, you pick the movie. Seems fair enough, right?"

Raven

​

Raven shook her head. Stupid boy. When she gave him advice she didn’t mean for him to leave her stranded at the bonfire. She listened as the girl doubted herself. She’d offer her a ride. But she can’t even get herself one at the moment.

“In my experience, boys complicate things.” She told her. Her eyes drifted to Mason & June. She noticed they were holding hands, alright so maybe girls complicated things too.

Alaska made her way over to them, offered Ash a ride. She felt relief for the girl. When Alaska extended the offer to Raven she was happily surprised when she offered her a ride.

“If you could, I’d be very appreciative.” She said grinning.

It wasn’t meant to be a flirt, but if it came out as one.. Who was complaining?

Jace

Oh no. Rom-coms were Jace's weakness, and also his guilty pleasure. And apparently, another weakness of his were cute girls up against him. Jace was almost afraid to move, as if any twitch of muscle would disrupt Nova and then he'd lose the comfy feeling he felt right now, so he stayed stone still. Well, except for his hand that found Nova's and he laced his fingers through hers, relaxing in the quiet comfort that was their relationship, no matter what that might be. Jace found himself growing more and more comfortable in her presence, and with each moment with her, he grew less worried about what she might think. So far, he was fairly certain that he'd done well with this date. "Alright. Netflix. The Kissing Booth it is, then." Okay, so he'd seen it already a few times. It gave him chills every time.

"So tell me, did I make good moves on our first date?" Wow, those words felt so foreign on his lips. Jace clicked on the movie, watching as it started up, although for once, he was barely even paying attention. His focus was on Nova, and knowing whether or not he'd done a good job of securing himself as a potential boyfriend. After all, Jace was sure that she had plenty of other guys taking her on dates and knocking down her door. How could she not?

Ash

She had been holding it together fairly well -- or so she thought, until Ryder came over, and wrapped his arm around her. And it was about then that Ash broke down, but she tried to keep it together -- tried being the keyword. Ash wrapped her arms around his broad chest, and quickly buried her face in his chest so that no one would see her tears. "Ryder you suck. You yeeted me and he was jealous." She said into his shirt. "But it's okay because I still love you, but gosh darn it, I had plans to make moves and you scared him away." Well, it was wrong to blame Ryder completely, but hey. She was sad.

Ash, with her head still in Ryder's chest, nodded in agreement with Raven. "Boys suck. Relationships suck. I'm done. I will be single for the rest of my life." Okay, that was a lie. She was too much the kind of girl that dreamed about fairy tales of finding a Prince Charming... or just making out. Hey, Ash might have been sweet, but she wasn't totally pure.

When Alaska spoke, Ash pointed a finger at her (but still refusing to remove her wet face from Ryder). "Yes. Ice cream, please. I'm going to eat so much until I get attractive and can actually keep a guy who doesn't leave me for some floozy. No offense to floozies. Guys are just tools." Here she was, complaining about dudes while hugging one. But whatever. Ryder wasn't even really a guy. He was... well, he was Ryder. "Raven, you're coming, too. Sleepover."

Mason

Well, that had gone better than he expected, and Mason's tense shoulders visibly relaxed. "Hopefully I don't end up back in the hospital." He grumbled. "But sadly, paying for my medical bills isn't gonna help. The break was bad." Mason hadn't told anyone this yet -- not even Drake. "They actually had to stick a metal pole in my leg or something to straighten it out. So like, I'll be in a cast for months, and then in physical therapy..." He sighed. This hadn't been some simple injury. Kanen had literally cost Mason his entire future. "So, no more football, no more captain, no more scholarship."

He was hesitant, but took her hand, giving it a squeeze, then dropped it and put his arm around her, pulling June into his side. Hey, Mason wasn't some pansy that played it safe with just holding hands like a loser. "I'll always be there if you need to talk. Promise. Even if we get in arguments and I act like I hate your guts. I don't really hate anybody, just seem like it." It was true. Even if Mason seemed like he wanted to rip someone's head off, he'd grudgingly be there for them, no matter what.
