Blue Royalty: New Blood

Annie nodded in agreement as Paige told her she clearly hadn’t been listening. It was correct, though she had heard enough to know it hadn’t been a compliment towards her costume, most of the conversation with them was a blur. [color= skyblue]“Yeah, kind of the point,”[/color] She muttered in response as she watched Paige turn to the rest of the group because, oh yeah, there were two more of them. From what she could see, their conversation didn’t seem any better than hers and Paige’s - probably some family issues or something.

[color= skyblue]“Well, clearly not annoying enough to make you leave, I should try harder next time - if the unfortunate case of there even being one,”[/color] Annie replied through a sigh and another eyeroll before Paige began a new point. Her head tilted to the side as Paige began and she wondered what she could possibly be saying now. Though her nonchalant expression faltered when Paige got to the point, and it only took the first sentence for Annie to stop listening completely to her. A baby? With Jor- her dad? And how the f^ck did Paige Pierce know about it before her? Was she lying? She didn’t look like she was lying though Paige wasn’t exactly someone she could trust. But after previous times- or even just the singular… incident, apparently neither was her father. And now he got… Jezebel, as in… reason-for-divorce Jezebel, pregnant. WHAT THE F^CK.

For a moment Annie was left standing alone as Paige, knowing exactly what she had just done, went to approach Enrique and Diego. But no, Annie couldn’t let her win this one, she wasn’t going to leave and… give up as Paige thought she would be one to. Her dad wasn’t here, and so she had to let the rant to him wait until tomorrow when he picked her up. Her eyes fell on the two that had now become a three, Paige proposed a way to make the group more interesting, handing a flask out to one of the brothers.

Before Diego had a chance to take it from Paige’s hand, Annie joined and intercepted the exchange, taking the flask with a forced smile facing Paige. [color= skyblue]“That’s a great idea,”[/color] She exclaimed before taking a long drink of whatever the f^ck was in the flask, then pushing it to Diego’s chest so he could actually take it. She couldn’t reverse the pregnancy, unbreak her mother’s heart, or even yell at her father about it yet, but Annie could drink it the f^ck away for one night. Or preferably more.

”The secret society of gentlemen” she read slowly from the plaque hanging on the dim lit wall. Seemed like a plot taken out of a Netflix series, a secret hidden historical cult buried in the ruins like a treasure or something like that. ”where the hell are we” she muttered quietly as looking at the paintings around.

It was an odd place, strange and unknown, and yet somewhat felt familiar at the same time, as if it reminded her of things she had seen before. She was definitely no gentleman to fit the club though, totally their loss for the record, she could have been a rad addition to the club. But oh well, gotta deal with it. hmph

”A secret society of old white men doesn’t sound too interesting to be honest, but who knows” she added as taking the hand he put out for her to grab. ”I think an infection is probably the last thing I’d want now” she chuckled, glancing at the boy as they walked on, not stepping on any rusty nails on the way (don’t worry mason).

”Oh sweet child, playing brave in the haunted cult hideout” she said jokingly ”im not scared, But it’s okay, boys can cry too” she smirked teasing him

He shrugged as she questioned the elephant in the room - where exactly were they? “Ever since I moved to beryl there has always been rumors about this house. That there were people murdered here, that it was the midpoint between this world and the ghost world, that there were vampires that lived here. A lot of nonsense, but rumors. I actually had to do an assignment on this building for History last year and there’s not much actual information about it. Almost like someone paid and made sure nothing ever got to print so to be honest, I have no clue.” It was true - this was always just… here. Part of Mason always felt that there was something connected to Blue Royalty and couldn’t help but wonder if this secret society had some connection to the game… the school… or even the winners of the game. Either way… it was an interesting mystery.

This house was likely built more than a hundred years ago, so it honestly was surprising that it was still standing. “I agree - 12 old white men in a room and you have to wonder if they were just hiding that they were gay or something,” he joked, smiling at the girl and attempting to lighten the mood as they went further inside the hidden hallway that branched away from where they came from. Mason never let go of her hand - there was a protectiveness over the girl that he held… thought it was simply in his personality to be protective with people he knew and at the moment, Olivia was alone there with him and he wasn’t going to let anything happen to her. “Who said I don’t cry? Any man who says they haven’t cried are either liars or have a masculinity complex so high that it’s toxic,” Mason added. He knew she was teasing him, but despite that, he was still responding with the truth. Men who “didn’t cry” were bullsht, “But this I’m not scared of - unless we find dead bodies because then, that’s a little creepy darling.” His voice slightly cracked at the end, and immediately, Will had to clear his throat - pretending that it was a mistake.

“Hey Olivia…oh…oh my god there’s something… do you see that?” Mason started, walking slower as he pretended his light went out. “Sht…” he whispered, situating himself behind Olivia as she tried to look at what he was originally pointing out - which was nothing, but he just wanted to mess with her. As she looked deeper into the darkness, he screamed “BOO” turning his light with a fake Muahahaha laugh leaving his lips as a michivious look appeared in his eyes.

She nodded, a bit faintly as her thoughts began to take precedence over Embry’s words. “Yeah, you’re right,” she murmured. “I just never really thought about that.” Well, she never really allowed herself to think about it. It was hard to think about her, and so she preferred to just… not. It’s not like spending the time pondering her life would bring her back anyway and so, she didn’t. It was easier that way. Her attention snapped back to Embry at her lil’ story about her grandma, an easy grin spreading across her lips. “What, really?” She laughed. “That poor man—but oh, she’s definitely terrorizing him in the afterlife, no doubt.”

Embry had been quiet, listening to Daiane talk, but Dai didn’t know whether this was a good sign or not. At least when Embry was yelling at her, she could clearly see that she was upset, but this silence was unnerving because of how not telling it was. Was she going to walk away? Slap her? She had no read on Embry whatsoever. And then… and then Embry was stepping forward—Daiane steeled herself—and pulling her towards her body.

A hug. They were hugging. She hadn’t… expected this, hadn’t ever thought Embry would ever want to even touch her again. But here she was, wrapped in her arms again, even after everything. Dai blinked fast, but the tears were properly falling now, especially as Bry started speaking again. She didn’t… know that Bry still felt that way. All Dai had felt was the ice, the hostility, and she truly, truly thought that there wasn’t a single part of Embry that still cared for her. So to hear the opposite of what she’d been thinking these past months—it undid her. Her shoulders shook with the force of her silent sobs. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was dimly aware that they were still in a public setting, Dai would have been full-out bawling—she was barely restraining the full strength of her emotions.

Daiane wanted that as well, wanted it to be like that again more than anything… but she understood, too, that no matter how much either of them wished for that, they couldn’t go back. They were stuck, here, holding the broken remains of what once was. “I want that too,” she said through the steady flow of her tears. “You were everything to me, Bry, like losing you- it f*cking sucked.” A sob escaped her lips. She wiped at her tears, pretty much having abandoned the idea of even attempting to salvage her makeup. Dai was a mess of emotions, and she was pretty sure the makeup reflected that. “But I didn’t even- like I got it, you had to. I never blamed you, but it still- still hurts, you know? I guess I just-” She laughed shortly, the sound resembling a gasp, the tears continuing to leave tracks down her cheeks. “I don’t know, guess I just thought it’d–we’d–eventually work out. I know better now, but. Yeah.”

Her tears slowing, finally, she looked at Embry, eyes sweeping across her face. “Can I kiss you?” Her words were soft, falling from her lips before she’d thought better of them. “Just- one last time?” Nevermind, she was thinking better of them, yes, she would like to take them back regret regret regret “Sorry I just, sorry”

Play Fix it to Break It - Clinton Kane

The silence was deafening between the two. It had never been like this. In the years they were together, there was laughter, love, endless talking about everything and anything… but silence? That was never something that occurred between the two. This wasn’t to say their relationship was perfection. No relationship was - they fought, they made up. But this… this was different. Was there fixing this? Fixing what the two had come to? Riker Alexander Taylor had absolutely no idea. After a long time, he heard a simple noise come out of her lips. A simple Oh that meant nothing, and soon they fell into silence once again - the only noise in the room being the sounds of Lexie drinking her milk.

Maybe what he said next was crude… the sentiment about what happens when a child’s mother leaves but what was he supposed to do? He was… hurt… everything hurt. It hurt that they weren’t… what they used to be. Riker still loved her… god he loved Elo with his entire heart. But it was love that was bogged down with all the pain over the last four months. And what frustrated him more was her answer to his statement… ‘yeah’… did see even fcking care? Why was she back if she clearly didn’t want to be? 20 years… 20 years meant… nothing?

“Yeah… she will. Will you be there for that or do you have another… business trip you need to take until she’s old enough to cook for herself?” he questioned, frustration dripping from his voice. But it was her next words that made his falter. Hate her? Riker could never hate Elodie. He just… wasn’t happy with her. But… how was he supposed to respond to that. Looking at her for a second, he didn’t respond. He just gave her an emotionless look as she asked if he wanted their daughter. Did she… did she really not even want to hold their little girl?

That was it… he said no other words when he carefully picked his little girl up - a smile on his lips when he looked at her. “Hello baby girl, how’s your day been? Good? Yeah, I know your momma hasn’t been around much but that’s okay. She still loves you,” Riker started speaking to the girl like Elo was no longer in the room - after all, if she wanted nothing to do with her than what was the point in trying… even if it pained him. After a few more seconds, he watched as she finished the bottle and slowly pulled it away from her. He pulled the baby against his chest and moved softly humming as he tried to bring her to sleep. “I don’t… do you even want to be a part of this family anymore or are you going to leave us too Elodie, because at this point, I rather you make a choice before Lexie grows up so she doesn’t have an absent parent for the rest of her damn life,” he whispered before walking out of the kitchen with his child in his hands.

”They’re hiding something” She said as he spoke about the house and the unknown history of it, and who other than her knew a thing or two about hiding something, this was just obvious. But what were they hiding? Was it something that changed the face of America? Or maybe it was supposed to but didn’t? Or was it related to the history of the city? Honestly, when people hide something it’s mostly interesting, so even though a gang of old white men didn’t sound the most thrilling, they had something interesting inside. But what was it?

”I don’t think thats what they’re hiding” she laughed lightly ”but who knows” she added with a shrug as she kept on looking around.
She nodded as he responded to her cry comment, agreeing with his words as it was something not many people would say, but it was the truth ”youre so right” she said and listened to him as he kept talking.

She may have imagined it, or maybe he was in fact scared, but something in his behaviour was weird. Something in the way he talked was weird. It caught her attention, but quietly. ”Yeah- as long as it’s not us who are dead, dead bodies can’t hurt me” she said trying to shake things off her mind, focusing on the creepy location they were in.

Then the light turned off with a mutter from mason, as if he saw something. As he went behind her the girl tried to see what it was he saw in the dark, but she saw nothing. Instead- BOO. The girl slightly jumped out of instinct (not because she was scared), as they boy tried to scare her. ”You piece of sh!t-” she called, lightly pushing him. ”see this is why the old gentlemen guys don’t take you into their club” she added jokingly pointing at him with raised brows

“I think I see something resembling bottles over there.” Leon pointed over to a table in the far corner of the room and Adonis gazed at it. “I see it too, so let’s go” Adonis began walking towards the table. . “Okay, you make a very valid argument.” Adonis chuckled, “Duh”

“Although, in my defence, I don’t have much of a choice in being around Jae.” Adonis shrugged, “True but the rest you did.”

After the conversation was over and Jackie didn’t know what to do for the rest of the night, and he noticed how most of people here have some interesting stories and inside jokes and drama that everybody comments on, but considering he’s new he knows nothing about any of this and couldn’t join them. He didn’t want this to go on forever so he realized he’d have to find out something that most people don’t already know to join a conversation and spill the beans. He can’t just join a conversation and say “Hey guys did you know this happened?” and state something the whole town has been talking about for weeks. Then he noticed a somewhat familliar person walking around … He wasn’t famous familliar, like he saw somebody from TV, he saw him somewhere and talked to him, but he can’t remember where or who it was or anything. And then … staring at this boy he remembered … ‘Ben - clinic’ just popped into his head and suddenly, like an amnesiac remebering his whole life, he recalled ever detail of their conversation … and he knew … it’s a secret … but not many people know about it. For the sake of his own enjoyement, some drama occuring and fitting in he decided to spill this to everybody and maybe improve upon the truth a little by overexaturating and making it sound better than it is. Jackie did think this wasn’t that big of a deal to spill, but then again it was his only hope, and because of all that and a little bit alcohol in him, he got enough courage to actually go trough with it, but the problem is, nobody would believe him if he just went over to somebody, cut into their conversation just to say that because people will think he’s lying plus he wouldn’t know how to turn the conversation his way. He wanted to do it online or over a text message but he remebered he’s new and he neither has anybody’s phone number nor does anybody from the school know about him and follow him on social media so it would be lost to most students … But he remebered that somehow he was in a SMS group where his Halloween group could chat. This was perfect because if they spread it around, people won’t know who started the rumor aka the truth and if he did it on Instagram people would see who was the first person to post it. Soon enough he could join conversations with at least this group friend.

OMG GUYS! I didn’t know Ben was going to this school!!

Okay so listen, tjis is the alcool talking but I have some teeeaa about himmmmn!

So, don’t judge me for being at the same plave as him, but here’s the story

A few years ago, I was a bit of a ladies man, okay? So, I had to get tested to see if some of them gave me anything. So, I had nothing but when I was at the hospital I met this guy and we started talking and it was Ben … Apparently he was there because he had seggs with some girl that was NOT his gf and he didn’t want her and his folks to know so he told me not to tell anybody (but since time passes I’m guessing it’s cool nw? )

Okay I couldn’t fit it all in that msgb ut let’s get back to the point … He had crabs, and I don’t know if he gave his gf crabs because if he did that would’ve been hilirius!!!

But don’t tell this to anybody lol, he might still be with the same girrlll … Okay I byeee!

{ six feet apart }

Do you know what was worse than feeling terrible? Someone so openly reminding you of that. And in such a… hurtful way. But that was exactly what she expected. No matter what kind of relationship they have… had, all those beautiful times, what she did gave Riker full rights to treat her this way. It just… hurt. And it was just a little reminder of why she still didn’t talk about what happened or tried to talk to him at all. It would lead to this and she was scared.

There was a tiny glimmer of hope when she finally heard Riker’s voice again but it soon disappeared hearing the rest of what he had to say. Her grip on the bottle tightening as she tried hard to remain calm and keep her eyes down on their daughter. Tried hard not to cry when that was all she wanted to and what she’s been doing behind the closed door of their bedroom… she’s not going to do that now. Not yet. This was her chance to finally say something, to almost defend herself and explain why she did what she did… that’s just not what happened. Hearing him ask her about another “business trip” in such a manner made her feel guilty and withdrew to herself all over again. So don’t judge her for assuming he hates her, she was allowed to assume things… it was not wrong to say such a thing… Because he did. How could he not, right? He didn’t deny it. He also didn’t say he doesn’t hate her but… he didn’t deny it. Staying silent was the worst thing he could’ve done and that’s exactly what happened.

Like I sad, this was a perfect opportunity for her to finally speak up but all she wanted was some alone time to collect her thoughts. He wouldn’t mind that… it didn’t look like he wanted her there so… No. She should be there and she wanted to be there but it was still too much. So that’s why she asked him to take Lexie… giving him the only thing that was making him happy in that room. But when he took her it was hard to walk away again, it was not right and luckily him continuing speaking made her stay… And made things worse for Elodie. That whole time she didn’t say a thing, as usually when things got hard she was silent. She was just looking at their girl he was holding, avoiding his gaze as she was tightly holding onto the counter that was behind her. All until she heard him whispering - the moment she looked up at him with hurt in her eyes but he was already walking away. [color="#e0ac8c”]”W-“[/color] her own voice barely a whisper, a fail to stop him. ”Wait… don’t… walk away.“

Standing where she was and looking at the same spot, where Riker was not long ago, was all Elodie did. Unable to move. For a while that’s really all she could do, her heart beating just a bit faster. Her hand still tightly gripping the edge of the counter, until she heard footsteps above her that finally made her move. Lexie was probably asleep right now so it was just the two of them… Slowly walking up the stairs, going over what she wanted to say, Elodie could still feel her heart racing. Going over what she wanted to say… okay, let me be honest. She had no idea what she wanted to or say, she just had to do it. [color="#e0ac8c”]”I…“[/color] turning the corner was when she almost bumped into her husband as he was closing Lexie’s door. Opening her mouth to say something, she almost froze again giving him a chance to just walk by her but she quickly mumbled the first thing that came to her mind. ”You can’t say that and… not give me a chance to respond… If you want to talk I’m waiting downstairs,“ it was hard to look him in the eyes that whole time but she managed. Managed to keep her voice sweet and then walk away like he did.

Silent tears fell from Embry’s eyes as listened to Daiane and she had to remind herself that the two of them were not the only people in the room. Get it together, Bry. She scolded herself as she attempted to regain her composure, swiping at her eyes. The reality of the situation was that no matter how she felt, she and Dai were done. They’d had their time and while it was one of the best times of her life, the unfortunate circumstances that led to the end of it couldn’t be ignored and they couldn’t turn back the clock, no matter how hard they tried. It was times like this when she envied Demi’s ability to carry on with Jae and Sato, acting as if the incident had never happened.

“Dai-” She cut herself off as she tried to find the right words to say. The feeling was strange as Embry usually knew exactly what to say, but seeing Dai fall apart in front of her threw her off. She took a deep breath to help her collect her thoughts as she put her hand on top of Daiane’s. “I still want to have you in my life.” She confessed, finally finding the words. Even if Dai didn’t agree, she thought that she might as well get it out there. “If not as my girlfriend, then as my friend.” She quickly added, in case the latter option was more appealing to her.

“Can I kiss you?”

Those four words were enough to leave Embry completely speechless. Of all the things she thought Dai would say next, that was not one of them and at first, she didn’t know how to respond.
She paused as she tried to process it, trying to figure out what Dai was thinking or if there was some ulterior motive. It was only when Daiane began apologizing that she snapped back to reality, seeing the look of regret on the other girl’s face. Despite this, she knew that she wouldn’t regret what she was going to say. “Yes,” She answered, looking her in the eyes, a reassuring smile on her face. “, you may.”

Had Quinn gone too far in what he said to Amelia, of course, and he knew he crossed a line. That being said, he was standing by his statement. She knew what it was like to have a twin, but in his mind, as long as Phoebe was safe and sound, Amelia would never understand what he was feeling. Quinn was someone who would say and do things, even knowing it would hurt them, anyway, and maybe it was grief or simply he didn’t have Finch to hold him back, but his tolerance was extremely low and he simply didn’t care about trying to soften things. “Don’t give me the f***ing speech about what you think my sister would say to me, DeLoughrey.” Though, Quinn knew better than anyone that Finch would be telling him to get his act together and at least try to be less of an a-hole to everyone around him, and she would most likely have told him to at least be nicer to Amie. “You really think you’re so special, and know how I should act. You have the perfect f**’ing life, a perfect family, and you’re just a goodie two-shoes, teachers pet, that doesn’t understand anything about the f**ked up s*’t everyone around you deals with. But I guess that’s because everyone walks on eggshells around you because you wouldn’t be able to handle it. You think you know so much better, try being someone who doesn’t have everyone look at them like they’re this perfect, innocent child.”

“People are talking about us?”

“No, It’s nothing like that. I just overheard a conversation that happened around me. That’s all.” Her face was starting to get hot from embarrassment, but she wanted to show that she was nonchalant. In her head she was thinking why did I bring that up.

The last thing Karen wanted was to be standing in a dimly lit hallway, talking about the paranormal, but it was Halloween after all.

“Only about 4 or 5 of them.”

“Okay, well that’s a lot in my book.” Karen took back the book from Luna and flipped through the pages. “I did play Three Kings Cross with a group of people when i was in middle school but…of course nothing happened. I don’t believe in these games but I still don’t want to take any-” All of a sudden, she heard a loud meow that sounded like it came from behind them. She quickly turned around and saw a black cat walking towards them. “Uh, what is this cat doing in here?” She smiled as she walked towards it and picked it up. She checked the other end of the hallway and noticed one of the doors that led outside were open. “It looks like I have a new pet. I hope this isn’t bad luck?” She said with a smirk.

Destiny couldn’t help but nod her head when Neveah listed the things that happened at most parties. “The last time I went to one was last weekend. It’s been too long. I’m just waiting to see who is going to get drunk and make a fool out of themselves.”

She wanted to see how people she has never partied with act in this setting. She was starting to think she will be disappointed.

“Well I’m glad I didn’t see that.”

“Oh God, he’s right there.” She pointed to the doorway, She doubted she would want to look because then she would have to get her eyes bleached. “sigh I don’t know why he couldn’t just check what size the shorts were before he bought them.” She whispered while looking away.

Neveah explained that people usually thought she was more reserved than she was. “Well, you’re well spoken and very poised. Maybe that’s why.” She said. “Me on the other hand, the complete opposite.”

Reuben entered the scene with that suave little smirk on his face, feeling rather manly on this fine hallow’s eve. He came dressed in a 20’s working class guy outfit, matching with Daiane the flapper of course. Mans looked corny as hell in this little get up. Good thing someone would probably take it off later. This will be so fun. Now, now, who’s sleeping bag would be on top of his tonight?? His question was soon answered when a beautiful woman with long, silky, brown hair by the name of Mireya walked in. The man stared down her skimpy little outfit.

Some might say that a man should be at least a little upset when the woman he’s in a sort of… situation with wears something revealing. Not in a way that he controls her every move, but enough for her to see that he cares. Personally though, Reuben’s never been that guy! He takes life in a very relaxed way, you know? He’s got it handled!! And he knows it. He is calm… in a way that makes him seem almost numb?? But he’s also way too soft to be like that all the time. If she were an ex that he still loved, yeah he’d be upset seeing her dressed like that because what if it’s for someone else? And he’d be sad. Currently though, this flame is just sparking up, and he’d be wrong not to enjoy it.

What was she?? A good clown gone bad?? Funny story, not so funny for Reuben, he’s always been terrified of clowns. Did he also wear a clown costume at the first party of the year that wasn’t halloween themed though? Hells yes. Don’t ask me to explain that man to you. He couldn’t even explain it himself.

Anyways, the costume would be kind of a mood killer if he didn’t just brush it off. His h0rniness trumps all of his fears. He also could not be the boyish scaredy cat, not tonight. Today, he’s got Mireya’s back. And will fight off any scary ghouls they stumble upon. I mean, not really, they’re just guys in suits, but his oblivious self will definitely wrap his arms around her when she pretends to be afraid of them. Be like “I gotchu, baby.” Cocky ass.

Soon, she started with the “Well, well, well” And Reuben knew it was about to get good. Their chemistry was quite impressive, if he does say so himself. “Not as much as it fits you, Miss Mischief.” He teased back. Moments like this make life feel so easy. Just the two of them in their silly costumes, farrrrr from their groups that Reuben totally forgot to check for because he got distracted by her highness, happy, connected, real. Reuben was gonna need these memories for later.

“No, It’s nothing like that. I just overheard a conversation that happened around me. That’s all.” So people were talking about her, great. Luna had tried her whole life to make herself invisible in this school, making yourself visible would just cause you trouble here and get you a let of enemies from people who loved the popularity. “S-so what did you hear?” She asked.

“I did play Three Kings Cross with a group of people when i was in middle school but…of course nothing happened. I don’t believe in these games but I still don’t want to take any-” Karen began to blabber, fortunately her blabbering was stopped by the sigh of a black cat. “Uh, what is this cat doing in here?” Karen picked it up and turned to her, “It looks like I have a new pet. I hope this isn’t bad luck?” Luna petted the black cat, she didn’t believe in the whole ‘black cats bring bad luck’ thing because after all have you seen black cats? They were adorable, small and her favorite breed of cats. “He doesn’t seem like he could bring us bad luck.” She said as she gently touched its fur.

“The last time I went to one was last weekend. It’s been too long. I’m just waiting to see who is going to get drunk and make a fool out of themselves.” Nevaeh smirked, “Hopefully someone makes a fool out of themselves soon, to spice up this bland party.” She put a finger under her chin, she was right about Destiny- well then again when has she ever been wrong about a person?

“Oh God, he’s right there.” Nevaeh froze, there was no way she would turn away. She stared directly into Destiny’s eyes and smiled, “Has he gone?” She asked. “ sigh I don’t know why he couldn’t just check what size the shorts were before he bought them.” Nevaeh shrugged, “I guess he enjoys to torture people.” What a weirdo the guy seemed to be. “So how long have you been in the school?” Nevaeh asked as she brought Destiny to a place for them to sit.

“Well, you’re well spoken and very poised. Maybe that’s why.” Nevaeh smiled, “Hmm you think I’m well spoken?” She arched a brow, “Me on the other hand, the complete opposite.” Destiny continued. “We are probably more similar than you think.” Nevaeh crossed her arms and gave her a bright smile, “In more ways than one.”

Karen gulped.“Umm, it was basically just a conversation at lunch… and I heard someone say did you see Luna and Benjamin together?..and the other person said yeah they’re probably dating or something.” She didn’t tell the full story because there were some snarky comments made by the people having the conversation.

Karen continued to hold the cat in her arms and surprisingly, it didn’t scratch her. It already seemed used to humans. “Yeah she…”
She looked under the cats tail. “Or he…Is definitely adorable.”
She wished she could keep it but she already had three dogs at home. “What do you think his name would be? I would name him midnight.”
There was no reason to name this cat since she wasn’t adopting him or anything, but the name midnight just stood out to her even though it was cliche. She put the cat back on the floor, who was now purring. “Awww, I don’t think he wants me to go.” Truly it was Karen who didn’t want to leave. “Luna, you must adopt it now or it’s going to go back out into the cold.” She dramatically gestured to the door where it came from. Being in too many plays has definitely gotten to her.

. “Umm, it was basically just a conversation at lunch… and I heard someone say did you see Luna and Benjamin together?..and the other person said yeah they’re probably dating or something.” Karen gulped. Luna could tell that wasn’t the full story but decided not to say anything about that, “Oh, I wonder what Benjamin thinks about the rumors.”

“What do you think his name would be? I would name him midnight.” Luna looked at the cat again, she ran her fingers through its soft fur “Your name sounds better than what I had in mind.” Luna told Karen as she stared at the cat, “I wanted to name him Onyx or Nightshade.” She carefully took ‘midnight’ into her arms, “But midnight sounds better” She laughed gently. Luna wished she could take it home with her but she was worried about her step family and what they would do to the cat. Luna gave the cat back to Karen and she dropped it on the floor, causing the cat to purr. Luna smiled at how adorable it was being, “Awww, I don’t think he wants me to go.” Karen said, “Luna, you must adopt it now or it’s going to go back out into the cold.” Luna’s eyes widened, “I-I w-would l-love to but… uh why cant you?” She didn’t want to leave the cat to die of coldness but she wasn’t too sure about bringing it home.

Hurt didn’t even begin to describe how Amie was feeling at his words… at his actions. Sure, Amelia and Quinn were never truly friends… even growing up after a… particular incident… but she cared about his sister. And as Amie cared for Finch, Finch cared about Quinn which meant that now… someone needed to do what Finch couldn’t and help him… lookout for him. But… god damn it… how could she do that if he always… reacted like this? She found herself flinching as he raised his voice at her. However, what hurt more than anything else was the fact that he was judging her for having a “perfect” family. Right… perfect… with her mother leaving for the past four months everything was… perfect. With the way men used her… like Maxon, simply because she didn’t sleep around. Right. Perfect. However, to anyone on the outside looking in - she knew that was how it seemed - even if it was far from the truth.

Amie tried to distance herself from his words - reminding herself that he didn’t mean it… hopefully. He was… after all… hurting. That didn’t mean that his words didn’t hurt… that it didn’t kill her inside to know that was how people viewed her… as someone who needed to be babied. But… she didn’t say anything, she simply looked at him with hurt in her blue eyes, waiting until he was done and the moment he was, she wrapped her arms around him and tightly hugged him. Was it a good idea to hug the man that was quite literally yelling profanities moments earlier? Maybe not - but Quinn had lost his twin… a person who was a piece of him and she had her doubts that anyone had taken the time out of their day to do so… especially with the way he acted. Attempting to ignore his previous words, she continued in a soft voice, as difficult as it was. “It’s okay to let your guard down sometimes Quinn… Finch wouldn’t want you to throw your life away because of what happened to her… so please… just… know that I’m here,”

”Okay, so we are doing this now,” Elio let out a laugh mixed with a scoff. ”What? is this not a good time for you? It never is I guess.” Elio was the type to talk things out and get things figured out, but he always seemed to just brush things off his shoulder and instead of finding closure, just ignoring. ”right, the game… He said back to her as she let the game be the excuse for this time. Who cared about the game when it came to real life and real feelings? ”seems like all this is anymore.” He stated under his breathe but loud enough that she would be able to hear. She may have broken their eye contact to look at the two boys who just couldn’t keep their eyes off of them, but Elio made sure to look at her the whole time.

”leave this alone” His familiar laugh left his lips again, this time more of a cocky tone mixed in. Leave it alone? always do. He was over this all at this point. He let his hand find his hair as he ran it through and finally looked away from her. ”Yeah, I’m actually sure they will, Elio, because that’s something they would always do, and something that you continuously fail to do,” Elio found himself biting the inside of his cheek at he comments. Was he supposed to be happy right now and just want her to go and hang out with two other guys when there were matters far more serious worth talking about? “Are you insane? What are you even talking about Lenora?” He asked her, his tone louder than before as his words were intermixed with his arms extending out. “You know what? Do whatever the hell you want. Go f^kkk them how about? Sure, that’s all they want. He wanted to turn and walk away but his feet seemed stuck to the ground, but he couldn’t look at her in the eyes anymore.
