Angelina Nikki


Angelina had woken up this morning with itchy eyes and a tickly nose, as well as an irritated throat. She knew what that meant as she turned on the TV, putting her glasses on, switching to the Weather channel. Getting changed into a quick but sleek outfit, she sighed as she heard that the pollen count was high today and expected to rise further tomorrow. Great. Rory was going to see how bad her allergies can be, although he didn't know that she had allergies in the first place. Well he was going to see now, Angelina knew.

As soon as she left the house, she had a sneezing fit of four and allergic tears running down her face. Walking her usual route to school, Angelina had to redo her makeup a few times due to her allergies messing it all up. Eventually arriving at school, looking around for Rory, she headed to her locker to see if there were any tissues in there; she needed them.

Rory Quinn

Rory spotted Angelina with her face tucked away in her locker. After finding the therapist it felt like a big weight lifted off his shoulders. "Hey, Angelina. I just wanted to apologize about yesterday on our date", he took a deep breath remembering the appointment after school. Finally he was going to get some relief and feel confident in himself in more areas than one. For starters dating wasn't as easy as he originally thought. At least it wasn't when he had so much emotional baggage attached to him and couldn't even sit through a date without crying. He hated that he almost let his brother take control of his emotions.

He could almost taste the freedom he would have once he stepped in that office. "I just had a lot on my mind. I want to be prefect seeing as you went through such awful boyfriends", he said. "you okay in there?"

Grace

“Well..?” Grace eyed Sawyer as she played with the teddy bear. Waiting for her to continue, Taking a seat on the bed. She raised her eyebrows, excited to see the impression. “By all means..” she pointed with her hands, indicating her to continue.

She couldn’t help the childish smile on her face, watching the impression, laughing softly while she admired her, Sawyer was so tough with everyone, but she was such a sweet dork with her. “Okay, okay. Don’t murder the bear.” Grabbing the teddy bear from her, as she was laughing. Shaking her head in disagreement when she said it was terrible. “No! I loved it. An amazing talent to have.” She told her.

Grace laid back on the bed beside her staring at the ceiling. “I’m glad you could be yourself with me.” Turning her head towards Sawyer to give her a genuine smile, staring at her for a long moment, she sighed as her smile faded, she looked back up at the ceiling. It couldn’t be like this forever, at some point she was going to have to face reality. Talk to June... her mom.

“Do you ever think about leaving westbrook?” Hugging the bear to her chest. “Like moving somewhere else, away from all the drama, the people that aren’t worth it?” Looking towards her for a split second.

“I thought I’d live here forever.” She shrugged, “but i don’t know..maybe my dad had the right idea, maybe leaving would be best.” She didn’t mean leaving now, she could leave after school.. but it just seemed so far away. She mentally argued with herself, Grace doesn’t run away from her problems. But after today, she wasn’t so sure.

Ryder

Ryder was caught off-guard when Ash grabbed his hand and started dragging him away from the guy he'd punched. He was even more surprised as she shoved him into a small supply closet and stated that they need to talk, concern growing as she began to yell at him. Maybe he'd been wrong about things going back to normal. It seemed no matter what he did he continued to ruin things.

"Maybe I do really like you." He argued defensively, still a little worked up from the adrenaline pumping through his system. All he'd done was protect his friend, it's what anyone would've done. Other people's opinions didn't mean shit to him, but apparently they meant a lot to Ash. Nothing else mattered to him besides his friends, but it seemed Ash was more concerned with her reputation.

"God-forbid anyone thinks minuteman likes you." He chuckled sarcastically, shaking his head as he reached for the door-handle to leave. The last week had been complete shit, he wasn't going to stand here and be yelled at even more.


Alaska

"If you sleep with my brothers I'll just get revenge by sleeping with yours and no one wants that." Alaska joked, shoving her younger friend lightly as she followed him out of the room. It was amusing to the brunette that everyone had a crush on one of her brothers, she had no idea what they saw in either of them, but no one was usually stupid enough to do anything about it. Ryder especially was bad news, Chase at least had actual girlfriends while Ryder had never taken a girl seriously.

"He's okay...it's been pretty awkward at home lately." She admitted, not daring to look her friends in the eye. The twins weren't actively trying to kill each other anymore, but they still tended to avoid interaction to prevent another argument. Alaska still felt guilty about everything, but the twins had talked it out and Chase had reassured them that they were both stupid and equally at fault.

Angelina tensed as she heard Rory's voice speaking to her. She kept her head hidden in her locker, now, somewhat, panicking. Her makeup was still smeared from the tears and she was starting to feel a sneeze brew. She didn't want Rory to see her like this. "It's fine, babe, honestly. Whatever it is... we'll get thorough it together". She pinched her nose shut between her fingers, trying to keep from sneezing.

"I just had a lot on my mind. I want to be perfect, seeing as you went through such awful boyfriends", he said to her rather sweetly. Angelina nodded without realising. Gathering her composure, she tried to reply whilst searching for some tissues.
"That's very sweet of you, baby, thank you. But you don't need to be perfect; I don't want you to be. Just be yourself and remain honest". Finding a few tissues, Angelina started gasping as she was about to sneeze.

"You okay in there?" Rory asked, Angelina now getting her head out of her locker. She covered her lower face with her tissues, bracing herself."I have to..." She started before doubling over as she was launched into a loud sneezing fit of four.
"HA'CHOOOO! HI'CHOOOOO! HI'CHEEEWWW! HI'CHHHEEEW"!

Each sneeze was loud and deep, barely containing themselves in her tissues. Her hair was flown over her head as she doubled over. More allergic tears ran down her face, her glasses barely hanging onto her face. After the fit was over, Angelina looked up at Rory with a red face. She was beyond embarassed. She felt humiliated.

Sawyer
​

Sawyer turned over on her side to look at Grace as she spoke. The mood suddenly shifting to a more serious tone after Grace's assurance that her impression was good. The topic shifted to one Sawyer had thought about many a time during her life. To be honest, all Sawyer had ever wanted to do was get somewhere and grow some roots. Practically her whole life she and her dad had practically been a two man gypsy band. Moving from place to place constantly could take a toll on a kid.


To Sawyer, finding Westbrook had been a a god send. This town became a place where the both of them could finally relax, where Sawyer could make friends and her dad could hold a steady job. The thought of leaving the one place that had finally made her feel at home was an odd one. Of course, she might end up leaving in her later years but she had no want to do so now. Even if this town had its....many drawbacks it
was home in the end. And so then came her answer to Grace's question.


"My whole life has been nothing but leaving places." Sawyer started, frowning slightly, "Packing up and saying goodbye became a monthly ritual for me and my dad. I hate the word goodbye. I don't like leaving, I guess that's why it's so hard for me to make friends. People leave and I'm afraid of that." Sawyer had no idea why she was turning such a simple question into an analysis of herself. Yet here she was wearing her heart on her sleeve.


"You were different. It was easy with you, like second nature. I've never made a friend as fast as I did with you." Sawyer laughed a little, "But that has nothing to do with what we're talking about." Sawyer shook her head, trying to get herself back on track.


"I guess my answer would be no. I mean, eventually maybe but I'm in no hurry to leave." She mulled over her next words for a second, "I guess I just don't feel like leaving a place that made me feel at home after such a long time not having one. I'm tired of saying goodbye." Sawyer's smile returned, "But I think I'd follow you if you decided to up and leave one day. I'd rather say goodbye to everything else than to you."

"No!" Ash snapped, quickly moving in front of the door and leaning back against it to glare up at him. "Gosh dang it, Ryder Dean Vaughn. You are not leaving until this is sorted so you better just... just make yourself comfortable." She said gesturing towards the obvious numerous seating options available in the small supply closet. Hint: there were none. Just boxes of pencils or something.

"Now, you know that has nothing to do with it. I don't care if people call you Minuteman. Like, now I know that that rumor was literally just rumor and not fact, and--" Ash realized she was getting off topic and groaned, slamming her head back against the door. "It's not that at all. I like you, too. A lot. Obviously, but I..." Ash hesitated, her mouth still parted as if she was going to continue speaking, but all she could do was shake her head while she thought.

"Look. If we were hypothetically going to date, I don't want you punching guys for me. My boyfriend last year did that." And then his parents, who were hardly ever home, had sent him to live with his grandparents, and that was how their relationship met its end. Fun times. "Like, I need you to accept that I can handle myself. And like, it was very of you to punch a dude for me, thanks, but I also don't want all of that... drama surrounding punching. Punching people is not nice."

"And..." This was the hardest part of this entire situation to try and explain. "If we dated, I wouldn't want it to be so soon after what happened to Ryan. People know that we went on a date, and they think that what happened between us was just... well I'm not saying it, but you know what I mean. Anyway, I don't want people thinking that I'm just some blonde bitch that ditches dudes who end up in wheelchairs to date their best friend, who they slept with on the night that previous date was in a car crash." Wasn't that the truth, and it was the hardest part of this situation. By a long shot.

"If we were to... date or something right now and people knew, I would never hear the end of it." Ash explained, thinking over how she already had some people saying cruel things in regards to this situation. A lot of cruel things, actually. "But I like you, too, and if I had known you liked me, I probably never would've gone on a date."

Rory Quinn

Angelina turned to him. Her face was red and stained with tears with her hair almost covering her face. "But you don't need to be perfect ". Even though Angelina reassured him it went through one ear and out the other because he had to be perfect. He tried not to let him mind get obsessive like this but this was test he couldn't under any circumstance fail like he did all the other ones. He felt possessed like a robot given a mission and there was no way to stop him. Rory was slowly loosing control and gripping on to the last part of his sanity. Why was this happening to him and how did he make it stop?

"No. Just tell me what your other boyfriends did to you so I won't do it to you", he begged. "You know what. I'll get you medicine instead. Where do I get it from?"

Angelina stood there, tissues against her face. She was a little disappointed that Rory didn't, at least, bless her or something. But, at least, he wasn't repulsed by her allergy attack. At least, as far as she could tell right now. He didn't looked fazed that much. Adjusting her glasses, quickly, Angelina rubbed her nose against the tissues before pocketing them.

"No. Just tell me what your other boyfriends did to you so I won't do it to you" Rory seemed to blurt out, catching Angelina off-guard there. She cleared her throat quietly, wiping her eyes gently.
"Excuse me? I don't recall talking about my exes today" She tried to blow off the subject, not wanting to talk about that right now.

"You know what. I'll get you medicine instead. Where do I get it from"? Rory asked, Angelina surprised by his question yet again.
"Medicine? I'm not sick; I have hayfever. And I'm sure you know where you get antihistamines from. Rory, what the hell is going on with you? You're having a breakdown or something. It's okay, Rory, there's nothing you're doing wrong in this relationship".

Ryder

Even though he could have easily picked up the small blonde and moved her out of his way, he didn't want to piss her off anymore so he just sighed and turned back to face her. For such a little thing she could be incredibly annoying. He knew he was in trouble when she used his middle name.

He couldn't help the grin from spreading across his face as she admitted his nickname was just that, a nickname with no factual basis whatsoever. There was no chance of hiding his grin as she admitted she liked him, relieved that he hadn't admitted his feelings for nothing. Their friendship complicated things, he never wanted to lose Ash as a friend and if they happened to date there was always the chance they could break up. Then he'd have no one.

"Fine. I know you can handle yourself I just...I don't like just standing by and doing nothing." He huffed, rubbing the back of his neck as he tried to phrase his words correctly. Ash was already mad at him, he didn't want to aggravate her more. "Not to mention your pipsqueak brother wants to fight me."

'I get it, Ash. I do. Now is probably not the best time...but you're telling me there's a chance?" He asked shyly, placing his hopes into her hands and hoping she wouldn't shoot them down. He regretted not telling her sooner, if he had maybe this whole situation would have never happened.

Grace

Grace listened, propping herself up on her elbow. She reached out to hold to her hand as Sawyer told her story, it wasn’t fair that she never had a stable home until now. She deserved so much more. Grace was happy that she was opening up. She couldn’t see herself ever being with someone who didn’t.

She smiled at her softly when Sawyer told her it was easy with her. Squeezing her hand, urging her to continue. She shook her head when she said it had nothing to do with her original question.

“No, it’s okay. I like hearing more about you.” She told her. Nodding when Sawyer said she wouldn’t leave, and it made her seriously consider if she’d leave herself, now knowing that Sawyer would want to stay. When she told her that she’d rather leave everything else behind. It took her a moment to understand what she said. “You’d follow me?” Grace said in awe. “You’re incredibly sweet, but you don’t have to.”

She released her hand from Sawyer’s, gently caressing her cheek. “Because i wouldn’t ever leave you.” She smiled softly at her, and leaned down to kiss her. It lasted a little longer than the first one. She pulled away, laying her head on her shoulder, and wrapping an arm around her waist.

She sighed as she just held her. “Thank you again, for today.” Grace wasn’t sure what’d she do without her. This morning felt like a total disaster, she saved her. To be a total cliche. Grace considered her as her own hero.

[IMG='align:right;']https://i.imgur.com/5Mi2tyB.png[/IMG]Neck Tie was thrilled that Jace agreed to give him music lessons. He didn’t care if others thought Jace was the biggest coward at Westbrook. Jace was a pretty cool guy in his book. So what if he was cowering behind that girl and bawling his eyes out earlier? Sure it didn’t look too pretty. But Neck Tie thought it was because he was so broken up about what happened to his sister. If he was a real coward he wouldn’t have tried to protect Ash at all. He didn’t deserve Kanen calling him a weak sorry sack-of-shit or Nova walking out on him like that. He felt really sorry for him.

‘I mean, I’m not actually that hopeless,’ he told Jace. Neck Tie had been a chorister since the tender age of 6 or 7 so he was pretty comfortable with sightsinging in the treble clef. The bass clef was a bit trickier but still not that big of a deal. ‘Just these chord things,’ he pointed out. ‘I guess I know what some of it means, but not all of it.’

Now Neck Tie was in a super focused mode. He pondered over the chord symbols as his hands hovered over the piano keys. He struck a few isolated notes but he was struggling to piece it all together, occasionally looking to Beanie Boy for guidance and confirmation that he was doing it right.

‘I think you’re pretty cool, Jace,’ he said, ‘you know, for letting me do the music and not kicking me out and all that. I’m going to practise really hard, I promise.’

Angelina was catching on to him. "I'm sorry...this is only temporary don't worry about it". All of sudden his emotions started spilling out of him either by of his tears or his words. He didn't want start wearing his heart on his sleeve because he didn't want to upset Angelina but it seemed that despite trying to fix the mess he cause he was only making it worse. The therapist hopefully will wipe his slate clean and he become normal once again. If that didn't help he would resort to his last option that probably wasn't even going to be given to him.

"You don't deserve any of this. Let me take you out. It can't be right after school though but anytime after that", he suggested.

Ash

She relaxed when Ryder seemed to calm down, and even smile. Ash couldn't help but smile, too. "Don't worry about Jace. He's not going to fight you, even if he acts like he wants to. You understand protecting sisters. You punched Kanen. Jace is just upset, but it'll be fine." She reassured him. All Ash would need to do was have a nice talk with Jace, followed by some threats if he wasn't nice to Ryder. Like stealing his beanie, or threatening his instruments. Jace was easy to upset.

Ash rolled her eyes at his question. "Of course. There's more than just a chance," she promised him. "Just.. I don't want to date with all the bad stuff between me and Ryan. Especially since I told him not to worry about because we were just friends..." Ash trailed off, realizing how stupid that had been, but shaking that thought from her head. "And you'll actually have to grow a pair and ask me out, so, there's that." She smirked at him, moving away from the door.

"Now come on. Class is probably starting soon," Ash said, glancing up at Ryder one last time before she opened the closet door and stepped out, followed by Ryder... only to then hear a very upset, very not alright comment.

He helped him out for a bit, doing the good music stuff, until it started to get late. Jace smiled at Stu as he thanked him for helping, and said what a cool dude he was. Wow. Jace had never been called cool before, and now look at him. "Thanks, Stu. You're not too bad yourself. I'll help teach you how to do all this cool music stuff, and then you'll be able to get any girl you want." Like Jace, who'd gotten Nova through his mad skills... kind of. He needed to talk to her, probably tomorrow.

"I'm heading home now, but we can practice like more tomorrow. And I can probably get Nova to help out, too. We're going to make this musical a total hit." Jace had already started practicing some of the music. Some night he was so wired on the idea of music that he couldn't sleep, so he'd stay up late into the night practicing things and getting almost no sleep. Like... well, like last night. And the night before. And basically every night he'd been excited about the musical and Nova.

With that, he packed up his things and headed out of the music room to his house.

-------

After Jace had returned home, his dad had set him and Ash down and explained that he had lost his job. Well Jace had been like whatever, he'll find a new one, Ash had panicked when their father admitted to having to fire the cleaning staff and that the kids would have to do the cleaning. Yeah. Literally panicked.

The next morning, Jace wasn't in the best mood. All night, he'd been laying in his bed wide awake, thinking over Nova, Ash, and the fact that now, so many things could happen without their dad having a job. Would they lose the house? What if they pushed and tried to arrest him? Jace was a legal adult, so their dad being arrested wouldn't be a huge deal, but Ash was still a minor. Would they send her to their wayward mother? She would hate that.

So by time school came around, Jace was sleep-deprived and also on a mission to make things up to Nova. However, well looking for her through the hallways, he stopped in his tracks to see a supply closet door open... and to see Ash and Ryder coming out of it, and they both looked way too happy. Through all of his pent-up confusing emotions, all Jace could manage to say was one thing.

"Really? You slept with Minuteman again? At school?"

Oh yeah. Eyes definitely turned.

​

Sawyer was content to just lay there with Grace wrapped around her and a hand stroking through Grace's hair, but there was a question nagging at the edge of her mind. It went quiet for a moment as Sawyer debated internally on whether to actually ask or not. The last thing she wanted to do was pressure Grace, but she couldn't seem to get it out of her head.


"Are you gonna....are you gonna tell your parents?" Sawyer questioned quietly, "Because, like, I don't want you to have to go through that by yourself. I remember when came out to my dad and it was literally the most nervous I've ever been in my life. I was literally sick to my stomach." Shut up, Sawyer. Stop rambling that is not helping anything.


"I just....do you want to do it by yourself? Because I will totally be there." Sawyer groaned a little, "Not that I have too. I mean, you don't even have to tell them yet if you don't want to. That's totally up to you. I'm really bad at this. I don't even know what I'm trying to do right now because you probably just want to tell them yourself and now I'm rambling and oh my god I literally suck at talking. Stop. Talking." Sawyer deflated and sucked in a much needed breath.


"Forget everything that I just said that was so weird."

"I'm sorry...this is only temporary don't worry about it" Rory replied, Angelina tilting her head a little. She was so confused right now. More so concerned and worried. Her lips started to quiver, Angelina biting them together. She was going to cry. This concern for Rory was overwhelming her, as well as all the confusion about Rory's state. She swallowed to suppress her sadness but her eyes were watering already.

"You don't deserve any of this. Let me take you out. It can't be right after school though but anytime after that" Rory added, Angelina now letting tears flow down her face and down to her tightened lips. She couldn't hold it back any longer and started, audibly, sobbing. "I don't want to be taken out until you've come clean with me". She couldn't get that sentence out without crying more. "W... what is the matter? Why are you behaving so weirdly? You're deluding yourself and hurting me. Please, baby". Angelina wiped her tears away against her palms, now getting the emotional waterworks under control.

He couldn't tell her about the therapy because he felt like a complete freak because of it. "Nothing is wrong...I just want to take you out". he confessed hoping it would be enough. Rory didn't want to end this off on a bad note. Once he got better things would go back to normal and they would the happy the couple they once were. For now he just needed to keep breathing and he would be just fine.

Things changed as soon as he enrolled into public school. No one taught him how to function in a normal setting and all he knew was the ridged ways of his prep school. On top of that it he had just turned sixteen which meant ten years without his brother. But things didn't start falling apart until the play when he talked to Raven. For the first time he started talking about his old life and his struggles and problems and he wasn't ready to share that with Angelina yet because he was supposed to be the she could go to when she was sad. He would hold her tight and carry her into the sunset just to make her feel better. But now it was the other way around which he didn't want at all.

Ryder

​

Relief filled him as Ash promised that there was a definite possibility of them dating, giving her a bright white smile as he wrapped her quickly in a hug. "Thank you for being so understanding." He spoke, releasing her from his tight grip. While he was still a little banged up from both of his fights, he was feeling much better emotionally. The two most important people in his life had forgiven him and that was all that mattered right now.

"Don't worry, I'll plan the best will you be my girlfriend moment." He winked, already plotting and planning to ask his sister for help. Though Alaska wasn't very experienced in the relationship realm, she knew what girls wanted more than he did. Following her out of the supply closet, he felt everyone's eyes turn on them as Ash's brother yelled across the hall at them like an idiot.

The quick to fight boy's immediate instinct was to beat the shit out of Jace for what he'd said, but Ash had told him only seconds ago not to punch anyone. Especially her brother. Instead he gave Ash a quick glance to make sure he was okay before trying his best to calmly approach Jace, stopping in front of the smaller boy and crossing his arms defensively.

"That's how you're going to talk to your sister? After the shit day she's had? At least I checked on her." Ryder tried not to yell, rolling his shoulders to use up some of his energy. His body was ready to fight, but he knew that would only make things worse. While he was ready to tell Jace just where he could put his opinions, he would let Ash handle this one, she had just told him she was capable of handling herself.​

Usually, Jace liked to think of himself as the kind of dude to not get into fights, or to even start anything. And definitely not to finish anything. But of course, two days in a row, he had a towering man made of muscle standing over him. First Kanen, now Ryder. And both times, he looked to a little blonde girl for salvation because there was no way that he would be able to handle his own in a fight. Jace was weak. He cried more than Ash did growing up, and even now.

However, he decided he needed to man up. Be the strong boy he was always meant to be, and stand up for his sister. Plus Ryder surely wouldn't punch him with Ash standing right there... right? Right? God, he hoped so. Jace had never been in a fight except for over video games, and that wasn't going to help him here.

"She wouldn't be having a shit day if you had kept it in your pants, Minuteman." Jace snapped back, and then his heart was pounding way too fast and he was fairly sure he might just faint. "Plus you don't know. Of course I already checked on her. I've already tried clean up the mess you made and make her feel better." Oh someone help him. He tried to look big and tough, his hands clenched into fists at his sides while he glared up at Ryder. Oh yes. He would die today.

Ash, well, she had been amazingly happy while still in the supply closet. A little secret domain away from the world and their judging eyes, and despite everything, yes, she was excited about the idea of even being Ryder's girlfriend. So of course, when they stepped back into the hallways and the first thing she heard was Jace's disappointed voice, all Ash wanted to do was snatch Ryder and take him back into the closet. But sadly, she couldn't hide away forever.

Yes, she expected Ryder's sass. But no, she hadn't expected Jace to challenge him and stand there, trying to challenge him. Oh lord, help her. Her brother was going to get killed.

"Jace!" Ash squeaked, and tried to move between her brother and Ryder before Jace inevitably got punched, but Jace simply shoved her aside, not moving his gaze away from Ryder. "Jace! Stop. You know it isn't like that and you can't blame Ryder for everything, or be mad, or..." But the more she talked, the more she realized Jace wasn't even listening to her.

Grace was playing with a loose thread on Sawyer’s shirt. She froze when Sawyer asked if she was gonna tell her Mom and David, biting her lip. Her shoulders fell, Grace was dreading it. She listened as Sawyer continued. There was a pit in her stomach, that was the best she could explain it.

She waited until she finished talking. “No, i-it’s fine.” Grace told her taking a breath, she didn’t move though. She just laid there with Sawyer, looking out the window to her room.

“I have to.” She told her. “Tell them, i mean. What if they find out by like.. i don’t know a parent or something.” She wasn’t sure, but she was paranoid that they’d find out themselves. “I don’t think i have a choice here.” She said. Looking up at her, “I think..i’d rather have you there.” Maybe emotional support would help, She dropped her head back down with a shaky breath. “I’ll tell them.” After a few long moments of slience passed, she thought of all the possible outcomes.

“I’m scared, Sawyer.” She admitted. Grace closed her eyes, shaking her head. Making it a personal mission of her own not to cry, she was done crying.

Chase

The last week had been insane. Not due to anything Chase had done, but due to his younger sibling's ability to get involved in an insane amount of drama. Violence followed the twins like a plague, honestly he had know idea how he was related to those demons.

It seemed his sibling's had gotten themselves smack dab into the middle of drama yet again, he could never catch up on what was going on with them. Some girl in their grade had posted a blog exposing a bunch of other student's secrets, Ryder sleeping with his best friend being one of them. Chase had rather liked the little blonde, she was pretty much the only friend Ryder brought over and she balanced out his temper nicely. It was too bad Ryder had ruined that friendship.

"Hey, you're June right?" He asked, approaching the petite red-head as he spotted her passing him in the hallway. It seemed neither of the twins had bashed her face in yet. Good. Chase wasn't mad about what she had posted, his younger brother probably earned it, he just wanted to ask her why she'd done it.

Nova
​

The question had made Nova somewhat uneasy... because in all honesty, she had no idea how her and Jace were. They had had a great first week of their relationship, and then things sort of just went downhill. They hadn't spoken, he hadn't texted her and attempted to call, and neither had she. Hell, she was even avoiding wearing his clothes at this point, and it almost made her sad to look down at the big sunflower yellow sweater that she had on, one shoulder dropped down to expose her skin. It was weird not interacting with her blonde boy, and she thought he would've at least reached out by now, but alas, she had been wrong. Maybe Jace wasn't all that different than some of the men she had decided to fall for back home. Maybe instead of physical damage, she would just be in emotional pain over this one. And although the change of pace sounded nice, Nova would've much rather had a broken head than a broken heart.

"I don't really kn-" Her answer was cut off by a loud yell coming from a little ways down the hall, her head snapping to the commotion. God, could they not have one normal day? Just one was all she was asking for, and yet, it seemed so far out of reach. None the less, her eyes scanned until they fell upon a yellow beanie, her heart sinking to her stomach and her shoulders dropping. Why was Jace yelling? What on earth was wrong now? Shaking her head, the brunette looked directly across from him to see Ryder and Ash exiting what looked like a janitor's closet. And while yeah, it seemed a little tacky to be coming out of a closet, all gooey and doe-eyed, it was starting to get on Nova's last nerves how controlling her boyfriend seemed over his little sister. Protection was one thing, but this? This was getting out of hand.

Without a word, face burning a flush red with annoyance, Nova took up a brisk walk over to the trio, leaving her friends out of sheer anger (not purposely, she adored them). Enough was enough, and while Ash and Nova hadn't spoken since the 'thirsty bitch' incident, she wasn't going to allow Jace to yell at Ryder. "What the hell is your issue with this?" Nova crowed, gesturing towards the tall tanned man and the blonde to his side. "God Jace, it's your sister's life! Ryder is my friend, and I'm getting really tired of you blatantly going out of your way to pin him as a criminal! If Ash wants to be with Ryder, then stay out of it!" The words weren't shouted, more pleading. Pleading for the fights to stop, pleading for the yelling to stop, pleading to just have a normal high school day. "It's her love life, Jace. Be happy for her, and if something happens be there for her. But for fuck's sake, let her have her own relationship."

June
​

She never noticed how loud shoes can sound when they are walking alone. She felt like everything around her was scratchy, for lack of a better word. She knew people were there, but she couldn’t look at them. They were the small remains of trying to erase something on the paper. She couldn’t get rid of it. But she had to endure it, all the while building up rage towards Georgia and the secret she couldn’t even expose.

She flinched when someone manage to break her eye contact with the floor. She thought it was someone coming back to successfully punch her. Until she recognized him and he didn’t seem to be wanting to punch her unlike everyone else. Despite this, she was slow to answer. Not sure if he will change his thoughts the moment she opened her mouth. “Yes. I’m... her.” She said almost tiredly and shyly. “What do you want? Look, I’m not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.” She was quick to turn him down, she had no choice. It wasn’t like she could tell anyone the truth.

[Dak]

Ryan had wheeled himself from his physical therapy back into his room. His life was now constricted to a chair. His mother's medical insurance wouldn't cover a prosthetic. It was barely covering his therapy. God what he would do for a smoke. There was no good or bad. He was stuck in a hospital taking care of his therapy. But he also wanted to see Sawyer and Grace and Raven and everyone. Except Ryder. He couldn't sleep the night before because of what Ash had said. She was done and he slept with her. He prayed on her when she was done. He was a vile person for praying on the weak. If he ever saw her then he was going to fucking destroy him.

Ryan balled his fist. He wheeled himself out of the room and outside. He needed a smoke. He raised the cigarette to his mouth. He flicked a lighter and lit the end of the cigarette a light. He took in a big inhale. He let it out and watched the smoke rise. He pulled out a notepad and pen. He quickly started to write.

As I sit here
I think about us
All that we fear
all that trust

As I sit here
I feel pain knowing she's gone
I can't stand the fear
I thought she was my home

As I sit here
I remeber my words
I can't stand at all
And You're gone

As I sit here
I am alone
and she is gone.

He quickly jotted down before putting out his cigarette. He flicked it and walked out. He had some work to do. He wasn't going to be going back to her. She lost that when she slept with Ryder. He was going back, to beat the living fuck out of him. God help anyone that's in his way. Man, women or child. He was on a war path, but first he needed to get out of the hospital.

Sawyer
​

Sawyer was glad that Grace wanted her to be there when the time came. The thought of sitting at home nervously pacing back and forth waiting for any call or text had her feeling sick. She would much rather be there where she could do as much as she could. Sawyer's hand curled into Grace's when she told her she was scared.


"Of course you are, and you have every right to be." She pressed her lips to Grace's knuckles, "This is a scary situation. I know I was terrified." Sawyer let out a hard breath through her nose, "That's the thing though, sometimes you just have to face your fears or just sit in limbo forever." Advice her father had given her after the stress that was coming out to him.


"I'll be there to face it with you though." Sawyer smiled down at her, "Always."
