Blue Royalty: New Blood

Her memory was often a curse. At least, she considered it to be. Even after decades - some moments felt as if they had just occurred yesterday. This was the reason that when Dorian wasn’t home for a game or trip, she mentally returned to the time when she was 18 - unable to sleep at night with an urge to run as fast as she could. To run until her legs would no longer work and her lungs burned. However, that habit had been halted with the birth of her first child… well technically, since the conception of her first child. As little as she cared about her own safety, she cared about theirs and she cared about being there for her family.

That being said, her memory was indeed a curse because even being here - years after Jess had been around Malachi Azure it still made her feel as helpless as she did when she was with him. He had a way of bringing back all the frustration and anger she had… and the sadness. But in a way, she had done to him like he had to her - in a different way. Both had hurt each other and maybe… just maybe Jessica had lied to herself when she convinced herself it was right to keep this from him. Seeing him now, however, made her double guess that decision. There was hurt in his eyes that she understood… especially knowing his dedication to his family.

Though that didn’t stop the softest of scoffs with his next words - clearly filled with frustration. Maybe it was frustration at the situation than anything else, but she didn’t need his hostility: not now, not ever. Throwing the dress in her hand down on the bed, she looked up at him. “Right, because the mental torture you put me through made it so fcking hard for you to forget? We both know it was better for the twins that you weren’t there to do it to them, Kai.”

Okay maybe that was a pointed remark - but could anyone blame her? The longer she stood in the room with him the more she felt like she was standing outside the patio on his birthday hearing the news that he was using her. Her anger dulled, however, with his next words - bringing her back to the reality in which they lived in. “You need to see them for you? Or for them, Kai? Because honestly, I don’t know if can tell the difference. Are you really thinking about the repercussions of coming into their lives now? Or am I and my family going to, once again, be there to pick up the mess you leave behind when you eventually hurt them? You know what - I can’t do this… I’m too fcking tried of doing this. You want to go? Go ahead, I won’t fcking stop you.”

Dealing with Mason for a few minutes wasn’t that big of a deal, he has to deal with such people every day but having to deal with yet another thing after he wanted to leave and have a drink was… Actually… That was interesting… Not the having to deal with idiots again side of it but what actually happened and that was Mason getting punched. By a girl. He wouldn’t mind doing that himself, he would love that but there are times when that is not an option so seeing this random girl doing it for him was… Well, he wouldn’t know what to tell you.

It was just something that would catch his attention and impress him so yes, this random girl he’s actually seen around the school had made a good first impression and it was damn hot. A subtle smirk appeared on his lips as he let himself check the girl out before looking back at Mason, ignoring her statement about finding something better to do which… If she was telling him to do that he does have a few options that are fun. In many ways. And they include both of them but there was plenty of time for that tonight, first he needs to do one thing - ”Seems like I’m not the only one tired of your bullsht. Taking punches from girls like that does not seem good for you.” It really was something worth seeing… Did anyone record that? Yes? Fin would very much appreciate if someone did so he could watch that over and over again and by the looks of it he got lucky - the group around them was still there, phones out, whispering.

[color="#b75548”]”That was a good one,”[/color] that smirk still playing on his lips, Finley looked back at Halston. And it was. Surprisingly, it was a good one. You don’t really see girls going around punching dudes like that… Not girls that look like that. Alright, find someone to waste the night with - check. ”But I think we should both find something better to do.” If she gets what he means but from the look on his face it should be very obvious.

The way Phoebe acts around people, her friends and especially guys is just the way she is. She never had a problem expressing herself, her feelings. She never had a problem finding a way to entertain herself and what she was doing to Diego was maybe her favorite form of having fun. There was just something in knowing you’re making someone nervous that makes you continue whatever you were doing… But maybe tonight she should just focus on… Trying to enjoy the night in different ways. It was prom after all.

Technically they were on their way to prom so a little more teasing would do no harm, right? She’ll behave when they get there. That innocent act she was trying to put on didn’t really last that long as she leaned towards Diego, fully facing him and letting her hand rest on his chest. ”What if…” Her hand was slowly sliding down to his belt, stopping there for a few second before moving it down to his thigh, her gaze pinned to his lips. ”I try to make it fun now… Why should we wait until we get there? What do you say?” No she was not expecting him to say yes. She wasn’t expecting anything would happen, she just wanted to see his reaction. See what he would do in this situation because they’ve never been alone and close like this before… If we forget about that one time he crashed Raph’s car.

”Keep driving, we’re not ready to get out yet,” with those words directed to their driver, almost yelling so he could hear them, Phoebe completely leaned forward only being inches away from Diego, a soft but still entertained smile playing on her lips.

For a second Halston noticed Fin’s attention on her, smirking as his eyes travelled up and down her body. Men, she thought to herself as she rolled her eyes. Why was it so easy to predict exactly what they wanted? ”Seems like I’m not the only one tired of your bullsht. Taking punches from girls like that does not seem good for you.” Somewhat turned to Mason, Hal smiled a little bit. Ouch Mas, really getting your as$ kicked tonight, huh? It wouldn’t be long before the many videos taken by the crowd surrounding them was posted on social media, Mason directly being in the line of fire. A girl punching a guy? Surely she was to get all of the good attention from it, but she couldn’t help herself to feel a little bad for Mason. Although they are friends, she wouldn’t purposely do anything to hurt him, but… this was a different circumstance. All she was grateful for was that he actually allowed her to punch him.

”That was a good one,” Fin was still smirking at the girl. Was it enough to catch his attention? She thought so. Turning towards him she smiled in content, “thanks.” This was going to be sooo easy. Winking at him, she quickly thought of something to say. “I don’t really like men who can’t take a punch you know? Gotta put them in their place” she stated, obviously referring to Mason.

Still smirking at the girl, Fin stated he wanted to ‘find something better to do’ just as she had previously stated. It was quite clear what he wanted by the look on his face, but would she really give into him on the first day? She knew better than that. He wasn’t called the heartbreaker for no reason. Every ‘relationship’ never lasted. He was a flirt, he used people for s3x, it was well known. In order for her to actually understand who he was and get to know him, she would have to play a little game. Catch me if you can Fin. What was better than getting someone who craves attention and sex, to not give them that? “I’m not so sure you could handle me” a smirk playing on her lips. Knowing he would want to test that theory, she proposed something else. “How about…” she dragged on, getting closer to the man. Everyone was still around them, but many were starting to leave after the fight was over and Mason left. She continued, “you and I…” Hals finger poked his chest, continuing to make direct eye contact with him. “go have a little… fun?” No, she wasn’t referring to what he wanted. Hal just wanted to have some fun, sneak into a club, maybe something a little more exciting.

“That makes sense.” They said, then looking down. “I always say something” Hera shrugged. “It gets me into trouble sometimes.” they raised their arms now. “It’s usually people projecting, though. And no I don’t do that anymore, yikes. So now I just have these as a little memento haha.” She pointed at her tattered arm. “I got lots of tattoos to cover them up. And more tattoos so the wrist ones don’t look suspicious. Also because I am a gangster.” They threw up a posed hand . Their statement was true, Hera strangely felt as though their art and thir scars coexisted in harmony. The question is, which fact is more important? That the drawings made the pain a little bit easier to forget, or that the hurt gave them meaning?

“Aww.” Hera pouted, their sensitive side coming out again. “That’s so sweet! I’m glad you got to bond with her over that.” they paused, listening closely to what Leon had to say. “I honestly do. It all feels so fictive now. Sometimes I actually wonder if I imagined all of it, because there’s no way it’s real.”

“Yeah, I try to think like that. I don’t know why it’s so difficult to stop. Maybe like toxic masculinity, I don’t know.” Maybe what Daiane said was true, maybe she did always have to be the hero. Maybe other’s struggles gave them meaning. But did that make her art? They could only hope so. “But thank you.” She made sure to be polite, even though she wasn’t sure if she believed him.

“Dude your relationship sounds like a whole episode story.” They chuckled. “Literally married at first sight. I can’t believe it actually worked.” The sister part didn’t really phase Hera, but they smiled in secondhand heart warmth. Strangely, they also felt this jealous devil on their shoulder. It wasn’t fair. How did all of that work out so perfectly? How is it that he found love within something so crazy, and Persephone is all alone. It was bringing out this more traditional side of them, realizing that the blood on their hands was thicker than any water that tried to unparch their dry. dry. throat.

Hera, as anyone who knows her is already aware of, never had a biological family. But you’re supposed to do anything for them, right? Everyone’s been saying that since they were born. When friends were dying in the hospital, their so called family were the only people allowed to visit them. No one Hera knew had that sort of family back then, and then she found cerulean high, and then she found Persephone. Could she be that person to visit her in the hospital? Could she be that person she can speak to about anything? Could she finally understand what Sammy and Allen never did? Hera wanted it more than anything.

Ohhhhh no. This was all becoming too real for them. THIS was the girl Leon chose over Persephone. This was the other woman. Persephone is cuter highkey. But this one is definitely more mature, at least if she knows Hera is P’s sibling. If she doesn’t, let’s keep it that way . Better yet, let’s run AWAY. Hera really wanted to, but this was also Leon’s wife, and Leon himself, so whatever. “It’s so great to meet you, y- actually, can you tell me how to say your name? I grew up in the foster system so I’m not very familiar with my culture.” They explained, acknowledging the contrast between their very asian face and very anything-else personality.

F*ck this. This wasn’t where Dorian wanted to be this night and this wasn’t who he wanted to be with. Girl, you’re at prom, go do prom things. To bad that’s not what he ended up saying or doing because while he was here he should be of some help, right? He should be the nice guy he is and keep the girls company… What else was there to do? Oh yes… Keep Andy and Riker away from their kids.

”Daniel’s, really?” But not everything was going as he planned. With a hurt teen sitting in front of him there was nothing else he could do but help the girl out and chat while he was at it. Can’t say he wasn’t in such a situation before, you’d be surprised what he had to do for fans… And her dad? Of course he knows the man, but instead of answering her statement about soccer players being so talented he simply nodded and smiled at the girl before shifting his attention back to her ankle that didn’t seem that ba- Okay, she’s acting like it really hurts…

[color="lightsteelblue”]”I hear that every time my wife has to do it and every time I say it can’t be that bad,”[/color] a soft laugh left Dorian’s lips as he replied to Emily’s statement about heels and mentioned his wife. Talking about his wife… That’s who he’d rather be with now, where he’d rather be now. So with his thoughts going back to his not so little family, wondering what’s happening with them now after Shay was expressing her desire to go to prom with him, he wasn’t paying that much attention to Emily or her hands that were on his shoulders. ”They were biased, I’m sure your dad knows a thing or two about it, but I’m glad to hear we have some supporters,” Dori returned the smile before getting up and letting her take care of herself as he sat next to her.

And this is where he was actually supposed to walk away, when she was supposed to walk away and have a fun prom night but once again - not everything was going as Dorian hoped it would. Does she not have any friends so she’s wasting her time here with Dori? Yes, that must be it, why else would she ask him to keep her company? But it was her next question that actually surprised him… She wanted him to massage her foot? To take her heel off? I don’t think so miss… That was clearly visible on Dorian’s features as he looked at the girl a bit confused, not sure on what he should actually do… There were many things he doesn’t mind doing but massaging a teen? Yes, that would be a no from him. The least he could do is help her take her heel off if that would really somehow help her so that’s what he did end up doing. That’s what would end up being the reason he doesn’t go back to his family earlier when his wife needs him. Why he would only later find out what was happening at Jez’s house.

[color="lightsteelblue”]”Oh, thank you,”[/color] and as he straightened up Emily doing something to his phone that fell out of his pocket and that she just gave him was the last thing on his mind. Of course for a short second he checked if there was something on it, if he had a notification for a missed called or anything like that but since there was nothing he just simply smiled at her and leaned back, putting his phone back where it was and listening to yet another question she had. [color="lightsteelblue”]”I never know how to answer that,”[/color] Dorian laughed lightly, shaking his head. [color="lightsteelblue”]”I’ve been doing this for such a long time and I had many games but I think I might have to agree with you on that one - London was pretty good. Those last 6 seconds really were something,”[/color] A proud smile appeared on his lips thought he tried to act as if it was nothing. ”I imagine you also play something? Or cheer? Jefferson would probably try to get you into that, huh?”

Even though her response told them otherwise, Athena could tell that Luna still had no idea who they were talking about. However, instead of pushing on and ending up confusing her more, they decided to let the matter rest. They didn’t return to their awkward silence though, because Luna had selected a game, offering Athena the choice of truth or dare. “Um…” They trailed off as they pretended to consider their options, even though they already knew which of the two they were going to pick. They’d had enough experience with games like this to know which one often led to something they weren’t going to like. “Truth,” They answered when they decided that they’d ‘contemplated’ for long enough, now waiting somewhat anxiously in anticipation of what she would ask them. They didn’t really know each other that well, which meant that there were endless possibilities.

“You’re right, that is nice.” They agreed, nodding their head. To be perfectly honest, they were still in awe of how positive Hyun-Ae was being. They stayed silent when she spoke about her parents though, not wanting to dwell on the topic of their families for too long because it would only increase their worrying. They nodded again when she answered their question. “Should we go back under the table then?” They questioned. If it was unsafe to be out in the open, then why did they leave the protection of the table they were under?

Ouijaloveletters · 18 June 2022 00:27

Niko asked if they should go back under the table, and Hyun-Ae shook her head. “As long as we stay inside, we’ll be fine. I really just meant it’s a bad idea to drive in case a tree falls on us. I may be a tree hugger, but even I wouldn’t go that far. If something fell on us here, we’d have a higher chance of being ok. If something outside fell on us, that could be deadly.” She explained. “There doesn’t seem to be too much damage, though. Let’s just wait for instructions. They may want to do a headcount to make sure we’re all ok.”

Starting the night this way was the last thing Katherine thought would happen. She was supposed to spend the night at prom with some of the friends she already had and made at the school and then find something fun to do after, but this was not in her plans. Not that she was complaining because she wasn’t, it’s just… Being in a car with a guy she only met once and having him so close to her to the point where she thought he might kiss her was not something she’d believe would happen if you told her it would. So you can say that this interaction, this little moment of him moving a stray hair behind her ear and saying how she’d have more fun with him was only another reason for her to blush a little. Could you really blame her?

And could you really blame her for forgetting all about milkshakes as they stopped in front of a huge, fancy house, similar to the one they were in only weeks ago? A part of her was joking about breaking into yet another house seeing how that went last time but there will always be that other part of her that would enjoy the excitement and danger that comes with it… That part was winning now. Being high was only adding to it. [color="#c0bed3”]”Is no one inside?”[/color] She whispered back, gently taking his hand to get out of the car and for a few second not letting it go as she looked around them. A big smile was spread across her lips, staring at the house she had no idea was actually his. ”Are you sure? What if there iiis someone? I can’t run… Are you sure? Are we really doing- Alriiight, follow me,” Finally letting go of his hand which she didn’t even realize she was doing, a soft giggle escaped her lips as she rushed to the door in her heels.

Okay soooo… How does she do this? What did he do last time? He… Looked for a key? Yup, that should be the first step but that’s not what she ended up doing. Katie giggled again, leaning against the door as she simply tried to open it hoping it was unlocked. ”It’s not working.”

There were multiple reasons for Paige’s frustration recently. After all, the elephant in the room was that she wasn’t even technically a fcking Pierce. Well, not in the way she had imagined for most of her life. No, she was Anna Pierce’s daughter - and clearly, even Paige’s conversation with Anna showed she never had any intention of treating Paige in that way. Hell, Anna barely ever treated Paige like a sister in the first place. But no… Paige wasn’t thinking about that bull sh!t. No… that’s… it’s fcking irrelevant.

Another cause of her frustration, at this current moment specifically, was the idiot currently standing in front of her who apparently had the audacity to talk to her? Really, Eddie? You’d think years of ignoring her would divert this attention - but no, here he fcking was annoying what was left of her mental sanity. “Not stopping me? Then get out of my fcking sight. I don’t feel like dealing with your sh!t, Eddie. I have enough of my fcking own to deal with and adding your memory problems on top of that isn’t a part of my fcking plans” . Was this the first time she had actually used his name? Maybe - but what could she say? It was getting harder and harder to keep her frustration bottled down.

With that, she moved her hand to his chest, bringing her eyes to his for a mere second - expressing a second of vulnerability before her eyes clouded over with hostility. “I’m done with this, and I’m done with you. Understand this, Flynn. Leave me the fck alone, and I’ll leave you alone. We’re not friends, we never were friends, and we never will be friends. Got it?” With these words, she used the position of her hand on his chest to push him backwards before lifting her middle finger and walking towards the exit. Yep, prom was a bust.

Flashback:

“Daddyyyyyy,”

The bright voice of the 5-year-old Emily Daniel’s echoed through the halls of her parent’s home, though it was quickly negated by the rowdiness of her older brothers who she could hear were in the living room. After all - how could anyone not hear 3 boys all gathered in one place? Trust Emily, they made quiteeeee a ruckus. Anyways, Emily still had her backpack on from preschool and found herself skipping toward the noise. Being the only girl in a family of mostly men, Emily didn’t shy away from rough play. ANND GUESS WHAT? Her dad was home. While her dad would usually be busy, off-season meant time with her dad… well if she could steal it away from her brothers but that’s what being daddy’s little girl is all about anyways.

As she reached the noise, the scene in front of her was pretty expected. There was pizza on the table and her brothers arguing about something or another, but Emily’s sights were on someone else. Her father was seated on the couch - intently watching a soccer game on TV. Running towards the man, Emily threw her backpack and climb up to sit on top of him. “Hi daddy, wh…what you watchin?” she said loudly.

A smile met her cheeks as the man wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer and placing a kiss on her forehead. “Miami versus Toronto.” She watched as her dad pointed towards the screen, “You see that kick? Damn, that Dorian isn’t half bad.”

End of Flashback

Watching soccer during off-season had become a tradition over the years with Emily and her dad… and fine, her older brothers watched too. And as little Emily turned into a woman, the awe of watching men play sports naturally turned into crushes. What could she say? Most of them didn’t look half bad - and with her dad’s connections, she had a knack for dating men in sports. And yes, that meant sneaking behind her dad’s back to have some fun with a new recruit in her father’s team. So what if they were a little older than her? Once again - older men = experience and that just meant a fcking good time for Emily.

Dorian DeLoughrey had been one of these crushes growing up - and one that only grew finer with age. After all… had you seen him? It was pure coincidence that Em went to a school with Dorian’s nieces and sure, she had tried over the years to be friendly to the DeLougrhey-Taylor’s but god, that geeky one was so annoying sometimes. Phoebe, Em could vibe with. But the other girl needed to loosen up - and giving her a vodka shot one time didn’t go well with her just heading it over to Phoebe.

The two were cordial, anyways. Not the best of friends, but close enough that Em would be invited to their parties and the other way around. Sadly, however, their uncle Dorian wasn’t often in town and by that, she meant quite literally never. It was sad, really. But clearly, her waiting was worth it because here the man was - definitely checking her out. And why wouldn’t he? Had you seen Emily? Just because she grew up with brothers didn’t mean Emily didn’t have style.

Another thing Emily knew how to do - was to get what she wanted. Perhaps it was the “daddy’s-little-girl” syndrome… or maybe it was the fact that she, indeed, got everything she wanted: From men, to friends, to parties. Perhaps it was a mixture of both. In either case: that was exactly the reason why she had a confidence around the man in front of her. A confidence that would end with him moaning her name in one of the back rooms: hurt foot or not.

Her eyebrow rose at the mention of his wife, and she knew what he was doing. Using an excuse - but she knew men like Dorian. He’d try, for a second, and when he realizes she’s not scared of a challenge, he’ll buckle (in more ways than one). “Your wife clearly has good taste… in shoes… and in men,” though the in men part was whispered down, more for herself to hear than anyone else. “But if you’d like to give them a whirl, Dorian, feel free to try my shoes for a spin,” . Look at her, already on a first name bases. Soon enough, she’d be using it more and more - over and over again. But some things take a little elbow grease - and this was one of them.

“You should have a conversation with my dad. I’m sure he’d talk your ear off about how biased they were.” she continued, her smile growing as he took a seat next to her. She could see his muscles peeking from his suit, and god did she want to say screw it and drag her hand across them. Man, she loved an athlete in a suit. Though, the conversation was getting dry - even if she was trying to keep him engaged by talking sports. It was another thing she had learned from her dad. Keep an athlete talking about his own game - it always brought their ego high enough that it felt as if they were on a high. Which, for her, meant it was easier to get into their good graces.

“Choose the sport. I’ve cheered since I was 6, Was in gymnastics since I was a baby - which trust me, helped with the flexibility…” she let her word linger there for a second, bringing her eyes to his lips before back up to his eyes. “Did volleyball for a bit, some tennis at the country club, was even in ice skating for a year or two. Can’t say I was the best at soccer though - but I’d love you to give me some pointers on my technique later on… if you have time that is? How long are you in town by the way? I know my dad would kill me if I didn’t invite you over to the Daniel’s estate for dinner… sometime this week?”

Scooting in closer to him, Emily placed her hand on his shoulder. “Anyways, I think it might be time for me to at least try and stand up. Mind giving me a hand?” Emily asked, letting her other hand guide his around her waist for the second time. Yep, this would be where she made her move. He’d help her up, she’d topple him over, and then she’d go for it… and if things turned out the way they usually did, they’d be in the back room soon enough.

When someone asks Fin, if that someone is a girl, if he wants to go have a little fun, what’s the first thing that comes to his mind? Sex, of course. So you can’t really blame him for thinking about that when she mentioned it even though he was the first one to do that and it didn’t seem like she was up for that - no, apparently she was just too much to handle. And let Fin tell you something… He can handle anything, but whatever you want miss throwing punches. If she had some better ideas, which she probably didn’t, he won’t be the one to say no… Does she really think that’s not how the night was going to end?

No, now don’t get him, he won’t try to make her do anything she doesn’t want, that’s just not what he does. The thing is… He doesn’t even have to try that hard, he doesn’t have to try at all, girls just know what’s best for them for the night and he will always be there to help them have a good time. So whatever this interesting girl had in mind he won’t say no, he won’t try to make her do anything she doesn’t want but he might tell you she’s wrong - is she really going to try that hard to resist him? [color=“#b75548”]”And what if we have a different definition of fun?”[/color] Matching a smirk playing on her lips, for a second he broke the eye contact glancing down at her finger poking his chest. See? She might change her mind later… But let’s first see what she had on her mind. [color=”#b75548”]”Whatever it is I’m sure we’re gonna get along. So…”[/color] Fin started, his arm finding a way around her waist as he moved to stand next to her, allowing her to lead the way. ”Shall we?”

@/Megan- Hal

Megan · 24 June 2022 04:57

As Halston continued to ‘flirt’ with Fin she noticed one thing in particular. You know that feeling when someone is staring at you? That’s exactly how Hal had been feeling for the past couple minutes of this… conversation. His eyes never left her, the eye contact they had been maintaining for a couple minutes was longer than she had intended. A few seconds later after she had poked him in the chest, his stare immediately dropped to the small finger that was pressed into him.

‘And what if we have a different definition of fun?’ Hal smiled a little, they really did have a different definition of fun. His mind seemed to always come back to s3x, getting in someone’s pants, and right now that fixation was her. Of course she couldn’t let that happen, that would be too easy. Someone like Fin needed a game. It was obvious after the many girls he was ‘with’ that having s3x meant nothing to him, those girls never meant anything. Hal did feel bad for them, but it was uncovering who Fin really is that she was most interested about. If she did the same as the other girls, she would be tossed away and ignored like the lot of them.

‘Whatever it is I’m sure we’re gonna get along. So…’ That sentence replayed in her head, maybe it will be a good night. Quick enough his hand snaked around her waist, a little jitter going through her body as he did so. She was not expecting that, at all, but clearly he noticed it as his fingers gripped her a little tighter.

‘Shall we?’ ”We shall” She smiled, walking towards the exit of the school. They weren’t going to stay here any longer, in fact, they were going to go somewhere fun. First they had to get to the car. Walking towards a black car, she looked sideways and up towards him as they approached it. ”This is me” She pulled out the keys she had… somewhere. ”I’m driving, get in” She slid herself into the driver’s seat, waiting until he was ready to go. It may be more fun to tease him as the pasenger, but who knows where they would end up if she let them drive.

Stepping on the gas, Hal sped out of the parking lot and down the street. Where were they going? Somewhere fun. Looking over at him and eyeing Fin up and down, Hal opens her mouth to say something. She stops herself for a second, but continues ”You look really hot.” Her gaze made its way back to the road after a few seconds. Hal was taking him to a club, one of her favorite places to be. Sneaking into the club was the best part.

“We’re going to a real party by the way. Think you can handle sneaking in, or is that another thing I’ll have to help you with tonight?” The side of her mouth lifted a little as her hand moved closer to his leg. Well, maybe it was a little closer than his… leg.

Athena had picked truth. Athena had picked truth and Luna was trying to find an ok truth question to ask. Luna could ask, ‘what’s your biggest fear.’ but that sounded way to personal and Luna was not the type to invade- this is of course ignoring, when she had acted like a fool in front of “E” she could ask ‘what’s your biggest fantasy’ but she didn’t want it to be taken the wrong way and for her to explain what she meant. “What’s the strangest dream you’ve had?” Luna finally asked, finding a ‘decent’ question to ask.

@Caticorn sorry its bad

Fin’s night might’ve started with him being annoyed with everyone around him and going to prom with Olivia only to p!ss off the person that annoyed him the most but things quickly changed, finally there was something worth sticking around for… or leaving this venue for. With his arm still wrapped around Halston’s waist, Fin followed her out with almost a smug look on his face. He had no idea what to expect, he was sure he would’ve come up with something better to do but seeing where they were headed his expression changed to something more… He was just intrigued, in a very good way. Meeting her gaze again for a second there was a very subtle smile on his face, letting go of her so she can get to her car. Alright miss… Not a bad start. Let’s just hope she’s not like a certain twin and he’ll be safe.

Getting in Hal’s car and leaning back, making himself comfortable, without a shame Fin kept his gaze on the girl, with a soft smirk watching as she sped out of the parking lot. His brow raising once she met his gaze and was about to say something but hesitated. ”You look really hot.” There we go… Resting his elbow on the arm rest between their seats, Fin slightly leaned forward, his expression not changing as he once again let his gaze travel down. You look hot and she wants to skip on his idea of fun? I don’t think so… But she can keep telling herself that. ”I’m sure you’re used to compliments… How could you not be?” He was and he really was sure she gets them often, have you seen the girl? How is it possible he never paid that much attention to her before? It’s not that it matters really, she’s here now, eventually he’ll get what he wants and then that’s it. End of the story.

As he was about to say something else, throw in a bunch of sweet words, he felt her hand on his leg which made him look away, look down. Wait… What was she saying? It’s a little hard to focus on that when her hand was moving up. Shifting in his seat to move closer to her if that was even possible, a smirk reappeared on his lips, looking back up at the girl. [color=“#b75548”]”To a party?”[/color] Resting his hand on top of hers, he slowly started guiding her… up. [color=”#b75548”]”How about we make a stop at… my place? And then we can throw our own party? That way I won’t need your help again and we can do whatever we want? Or…”[/color] Now moving his hand to her knee, he continued in a low voice. ”We can stop somewhere on the side and… Talk for a bit and then we can find a party you’ll have to help me sneak in?”

@/Megan - Hal

Car rides were a tough spot, it could either be super awkward or you could make it a very fun trip. In this case it was in the middle, well, for Hal it was fun. Hal never realized how much fun it would be to flirt with a guy and be able to stop him and herself from making a move. Though, she had to be careful of what she said.

After Hal had made her comment, she watched him out of the corner of her eye. His expression didn’t change, shocker, but he did look her up and down for probably the 5th time of the night. Actually, it was more like the 20th time of the night. Smiling when he mentioned that she would be ‘used to compliments,’ of course she was used to compliments, she spent a lot of nights in bars with older men… who… by the way like to creep on younger girls. Looking back at the boy beside her she smiled, ”Oh - I meant it looked like you were sweating. Nervous are we? But I appreciate the compliment.” Maybe it was a little much, teasing him and then drawing back the flirt, but all she knew is that it would keep him on edge. She wasn’t going to give in, at least not yet.

”Mhm, a party” trying to keep herself focused on the road, it was a little hard when Fin had grabbed her hand and was moving it farther up his leg. Shifting in his seat, Hal had to hold back a giggle. Man, he was desperate. When he continued to talk, she looked back over at him. Moving her hand back to the steering wheel, a few seconds later his hand found itself on her knee. Oh so they were doing this? She pursed her lips, “How about… you show me your moves on the dance floor so I can see if it’s worth it to check out your moves in the bedroom.” The longer his hand was touching her, the more she knew something would have to happen. Once he suggested that they should stop at the side of the road and ‘talk,’ Halston knew that she had to keep flirting with him but enough to entice him to want to spend the night with her. ”Or… If you follow my lead, you won’t be able to talk anymore.” Smirking, the girl quickly glanced at the man trying to gauge his reaction.

Driving for another couple minutes they finally arrived at the club. ”Anddd here we are” Putting the car into park, Hal turned it off and unbuckled her seatbelt. ”You ready to have some fun?” She smirked and pushed open the car door, stepping out of it. They may look a little… overdressed but who cares, they were going to have fun and get drunk anyways. Waiting for Fin to come to her side of the car she fixed the top part of her dress, exposing her chest a little more than it was before. Beginning to walk towards the club, Hal stopped for a second and looked up at Fin ”Back door.” As they reached the door, she pulled out her phone and began texting someone. ``We’re here, come let us in’ Within 30 seconds the door clicked open, a man looking at the two. “Hey Hal,” he shot out. Looking back at Fin, Hal smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the club.

Leon and his wife surprisingly didn’t seem that bad. Small talk with this new person wasn’t really amusing, but Hera was used to shallow discussion with people they don’t know all that well, so they thought they did fine. It was all perfectly fine. Until the moment that damn organization decided to open their mouths again. As soon as they released their announcement, they searched for their name. Blah blah blah, Hera is a dirty cheater, blah, whatever. They just had to explain this to their girl. Who’s name, actually was on the note too. F^ck. They exposed her too. About her dad’s clinical trial? That’s so f^cked up. With a hand to Leon’s shoulder, they apologized. “Sorry, I have to take care of this. It was a pleasure to meet you guys.”

And with that, they navigated through the crowd, shoulders and backs and the thick fabric of prom suits grazed against her lace covered arms. Eventually, she got to Daiane… and her… just- shudders. “Hey are you okay? Don’t let this get to you.” She wanted to explain herself, but they also wanted to make sure Ane was okay. They wanted to put her first, even if she found it annoying. Of course, Daiane had her own follow up responses that went something like “Hera, you didn’t tell me about what blue royalty said.” Which was true, and then Embry added on her little interruptions; “They’re not your partner, Dai, you don’t have to let her explain anything.” UGH. Why couldn’t she just shut up!? And for the record, no. They weren’t dating her. Ane wasn’t their girlfriend. She was much more than that.

“Please, come with me, Daiane.” They pleaded. Hera burned at the thought of Ane assuming things about them, things that would hurt her feelings, things that made her insecure. They didn’t want this to lead to another fight. It would all be so much easier if she could just realize that they broke up with her so she could focus on her studies and not become some washed up addict like they were, that they cheated on Ari because they never loved her because they still loved Ane, that all of it was because of her!! Or maybe she did. And it just wasn’t enough. Maybe it was, but maybe Embry is more than enough. THEY HAD NO IDEA. And that’s why they wanted to talk about it, and be honest, since that was what Ane wanted. Since that was what she lacked.

Fear. Fear filled Jezebel’s mind. She wasn’t alright, nothing was alright. Her mind was racing, yet everything happening around her was all blurred together. It was all happening so quickly. Jordan helped her out from under the table, before taking Aidan to someone else to get him to Jess. At his core, Jordan was as good of a person as could be, not even lost memories could change that. Perhaps that made the way he had been acting towards Jezebel hurt her even more. Though, there wasn’t time to think, not then, not as Jordan carried her to the car. Hitting other cars barely even phased Jezebel in that moment, even when Jordan had to carry her the final stretch of the way. The only thing on Jezebel’s mind as they got to the hospital was the babies.

Flashback

3… 2… 1…
Pregnant. It had been almost 20 years since the last time she’d seen that test result. She had been a mother for half of her life now, her daughter being an adult about to graduate high school, and there she was with a piece of plastic telling her that she was about to do it all over again. Had she always imagined herself having more than just one child. Yes, but over the years she had gotten used to the idea of it being just her and Laurel. Even then, she thought if she did have another, it would be a planned situation, and this was far from expected. Was she nervous, yes, but at the same time it was exciting. So much was a question, but there was one thing that was certain, she couldn’t wait to tell the love of her life that they were going to be parents together.

End of Flashback

When she first realized she was pregnant, she was overwhelmed with emotions. Panic, excitement, fear, hope, and everything in between. Every day she felt that same spectrum of emotion. Early on, the fear was less, comforted by Jordan, knowing they were in it together, both on the same page, but over time that changed so much. She had grown to feel alone, she had support, but she was without the person who she thought she would have with her every step of the way. Jordan was physically there, he carried her into the hospital, making certain that people were there to take care of her immediately, but that doesn’t mean that she felt like he was truly with her. She still felt alone, increasingly more so as the hospital staff wheeled her back to examine and monitor the situation. They asked a few questions that she tried to answer, but the next step was clear as they looked into the babies’ vitals. That was when Jezebel heard words that brought her right back to the day Laurel was born. One of the babies was in distress, meaning there was no more time.

Flashback

“It has to be now.”
It was too early. Everyone there knew that. 23 weeks. Many hospitals won’t even try to save the baby before 24 weeks. The baby wasn’t ready. She wasn’t ready. This wasn’t supposed to be for another few months. The doctors knew the baby likely wouldn’t survive, but they were clear that it was the only option. Jezebel barely knew what was going on, just that the doctors said if they didn’t take the baby right then, she wouldn’t make it. Jezebel would lose her child, again. She hadn’t done enough to protect her daughter, and now it would be in the doctors’ hands to keep the baby alive. Jezebel just needed to know her baby girl would survive, to know she would be able to give her all the love in the world, and spend the rest of her life trying to protect her. Jezebel needed to know her daughter would be alright when the overwhelming fear of any other possibility was already breaking her heart.

End of Flashback

Jezebel slowly opened her eyes, taking a moment to put her thoughts together of where she was. She couldn’t be sure of how long she had been out, but she knew she was in a hospital room and that they had to do an emergency c-section. That left only one thing on her mind, Jezebel needed to know her babies were alright. At that point, Jezebel looked to the nurse who happened to be in there checking on her. “Where are they? Are they okay?”

[color= Orchid]“The two girls are both fine, and they can be brought in here for you to see them, but the boy, he is in critical condition and being monitored very closely.”[/color]

@benitz786 - Wasn’t sure if Jordan would have been in there with Jez, or if he would’ve been somewhere else, like with the babies maybe, so that’s up to you.

Mason Mitchell:
Flashback

“Harder” Mason grunted, pushing Hal to her limit. Sweat was dripping from both of them - but at the moment, that was irrelevant. He gave her a knowing look, a cheeky smile as he let his eyes wander down to her form, and soon enough, he found himself pushing her against the floor.

Oh get your mind out of the gutter. We’re not talking about sex.

“Is that the best you’ve got?” The words left his lips as he got up, helping the girl up from their boxing match. Hal had been actively training with Mason for the past few years, and albeit she had gotten better, her form could still use work. The two were working out in Masons training room for the past hour - building her endurance in a fight. “Your stance could be better. You need to stop forgetting that you’re small, Hal. Not in a bad way, but come in, use it to your advantage. You’re faster than me. he found himself rolling his eyes at her snarky response before handing her a water bottle.

End of Flashback

Well, Hal did punch harder - he’d give her that much. Rubbing his chin, Mason displayed a degree of annoyance despite being impressed. His eyes wondered towards hers at her words before going back to Fin. “Need a girl to fight for you, Fin? Cute. We’re not done here,” with that, he walked away from the two wishing the girl luck. She had asked for an in, and Mason provided just that - along with a show for others. Maybe the punch was even a little self motivated but come on - he needed to stay away from Olivia… though technically, so did Mason. Keeping his annoyed expression clear, he walked away from the party, moving towards one of the empty hallways to be alone for a moment.
