Town Between Official Thread SAA/WNA

Holden mentions playing a song.

Kevin straightens just a bit. When Holden pulls his phone out and cues the song, Kevin shifts closer leaning into here over the blast of music in the background . Holdens music starts, low enough to feel private, like it’s just for them. Kevin listens.

His expression changes almost immediately—not dramatic, just honest. His jaw relaxes. His shoulders drop, eyes flicking between Holden and Kori once or twice, like he wants to see how she’s reacting too.

Halfway through, he lets out a quiet breath and shakes his head. “Wow,” he says under his breath, then a little louder, “yeah… this is really good.” He gives Holdem a nod, a new respect for him.

“Put some more twang into that and you’ll be making billions. I call it.” Wvwn though he’d been trying not to smile as he lowkey dangled…the corner of his mouth gave him away. He couldn’t hide the grin for long.

“Nah, seriously,” he says. “That’s solid. You write all your stuff yourself?” Kevin takes another sip of his drink, glances at Kori, and gives her a quick, playful look—like see? I can be normal. But inside? Yeah. He’s a little impressed by the other guy who’s been calling her pet names all night.

At Jax’s Party


Luke felt himself beginning to have a panic attack. It was something he never had before, and he could feel a shortness of breath coming on. “Wren, Excuse me. I need to go to the bathroom.” He said as he released her shoulders. He walked down the narrow hallway towards the bathroom, but he could feel everything twisting and blurring around him. He squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head but it wasn’t working. When he got into the bathroom, he immediately went into one of the stalls and closed the door and let out a deep breath. He gripped the walls of the stall and swallowed hard. He didn’t hear anyone or see anyone in the bathroom when he came in, so he slowly left the stall and walked to the bathroom sink and leaned against it.

Luke’s Inner Monologue:



Was gettin’ engaged a mistake?.. What if I really like guys…But that’s not true…just because it started after… Enzo…No, no no. I forgot all about him - that guy…Then the Jonas…and Artemis thing…this is so stupid… I’m already gettin’ cold feet. What will Wren think of me or everyone else? My mom? If I cut this off… But I love her…


Luke looked at himself in the mirror. Was he a monster?


The Day After The Parties


Luke was posting lovey dovey stuff about Wren on Instagram the whole morning. He also made love to her after the party ended in their hotel room and in the morning in her dorm, but he needed to go back to St Andrews. He got dressed and put on an outfit that looked like a cowboys get up but still subtle. He still wanted to fit into school and the way everyone dressed around him. He learned how to do that for the most part. While walking down the hallway, he spotted Albert sitting in the common room typing on his phone. Luke debated going over there since that was his friend but he also wanted to get back to school before class started. Then he remembered the fight he almost had with his cousin. He walked over to him and put his hands in his pockets. Then he sat down. "Hey man, how’s everything going with Piper? Did things settle down?"He remembered when they went on a double date with botb of their girlfriends and it turned out fun. He didn’t want them to break up but deep down he also wanted advice about his own relationship with Wren. He felt like Albert was one of tbe people that could truly understand. He couldn’t really talk about this with his other guy friends Tucker, Kurt, Elias, Jonas, Holden Benji and Cane. Most of them were also new to the school and new friends. Albert was the only one he could truly trust.

Kori smiled as Holden held up his phone. It was luckily loud enough for her and Kevin to hear, but she did have to lean into Kevin some. Which made her smile more. She just hoped nobody picked up on it. Once the song ended before she could say anything Kevin spoke up. She just smiled and brought her drink to her lips. She took a sip and felt the burn go down. “That is a pretty song.” She said between Kevin saying wow and yeah this is really good. She giggled some when Kevin told Holden to put more twang on it. “I think it was prefect.” She smiled up at Holden. Then Kevin went on to say seriously it’s solid. Kori wondered who the song was about. She could tell it had to be about an ex. However, she wasn’t gonna ask him all that in front of Kevin. She looked between to the guys as she talked to them. When she was talking to Kevin she would look at him and when she was talking to Holden.. Well she was looking at Holden, but could feel Kevin glancing at her every so often. She seriously wondered what was going through their heads at the moment. She was always calculating everything. Trying to see the mathematic or scientific side of things. Then Kevin asked if Holden wrote it all himself. Kori actually wondered the same thing, so she was glad Kevin had asked. She smiled and kept sipping her drink every so often while waiting for Holden’s response. She also would look at the guys as they were talking. She sure was happy they didn’t seem to talk at the same time but wait till the other was done. It did make it a little easier for her to keep up with that way. She smiled at them both. How could she possibly have a crush on Kevin… Kevin… The guy who she only met out of a moment of kindness on his part. He somehow knew she was cold in the middle of a fire drill and loaned her his hoodie. It was hard for her to believe that was two weeks ago. However, it had been fun getting to know him.



The girl leaned one shoulder against the wall as she asked Neveah how St Andrews has been treating her so far. Neveah giggled before responding. “Well… I haven’t even been to my first class… so… so far so good.” She said with a small smile. Then she said that it was a big jump to transfer in the middle of the year. “Yeah, transferring now sucked, but it is what it is.” She said with a shoulder shrug. Then the girl asked her for her name as she held out her hand in a lazy fashion. Neveah smiled and shook her hand. “Neveah.” She said with her confident smile. Then the girl said her name was Tracie. “Well… it is nice to meet you Tracie.” She said with a smile.



Jade sat in Enzo’s lap like it was nothing. Like it was the most natural thing for her to do. They talked and it felt… Familiar, easy, natural and like everything she had been missing since he went MIA. She loved how easy it was with him. She heard him say Last time like it was a question and she nodded her head as he brushed a strand of hair out of her face. She smiled gently at him. Then he apologized and this confused her. Why was he sorry. Then he told her she looked good and she giggled and playfully pushed his shoulder. Then he asked if she got a tan. She looked down at her arms. She giggled at what he said next. Then he said next time that they would go somewhere better and he would make sure he was always around. She smiled as she talked “I’m not sure about the tan.” She giggled out. “But the going somewhere better and you always being around… that sounds prefect to me baby. I missed you so much.” She said as she slowly leaned in to kiss him. She wanted him… All of him… Right here right now. All she wanted was them to get undressed and make passionate love to each other. She missed the way he felt to be touched by Vincenzo. His hands were softer, more gentle, and treated her delicately… While Ian’s hands were firm, controlling and sometimes a little rough. However, she liked both side of it. It just depended on her mood as to of which she liked better in the moment. She smiled as she felt her lips collide with his. This kiss wasn’t rushed or hungry, but still let him know she wanted him.



Liv felt Eve press the water into her hand. Then Eve told her small sips not a chug. She rolled her eyes some at this. She wasn’t a baby and she didn’t need to be taken care as such. She was a girl going through a whirlwind of emotions and just not sure how to express them. She could feel Eve’s hand hoovering over her back. Well the heat from her hand hoovering over her back. When she felt Eve’s hand touch her… It took everything in her to not flinch and move away. Not because she didn’t like it… Partially because she did like the way Eve’s hand felt on her back rubbing small circles. The other reason she wanted to pull away was because of what happened with Jason before Eve showed up. Then Eve told her to breathe with her for a second… even if she didn’t want to. Liv rolled her eyes once more. She wasn’t having a panic attack. Then Eve said it… Eve said she didn’t have to tell her what happened. She reassured Liv she wasn’t crazy for feeling whatever it was. This made Liv cry more. Then Eve went on to say abt how she was self-destructive last year and that was enough for both of them. She was honestly just mad at herself that it happened again. This time it was far worse then last time. Liv let out a small giggle when she said they were retiring form that. Eve’s hand still on Liv’s back… Then Eve said she got her. Liv broke and between the tears she was crying she managed to speak. Her words were slurred some from the drinks. “It h-happened again…” she sobbed, the words tumbling over each other. “Jason— before you got there— after Rylee left— I—I didn’t— he did it again…” She cried even harder as she fell to the ground on her knees in tears.

FinnForChay


Finn chuckled… "Who knows… I just wish she would admit her feelings for the girl already. " He chuckled out. Then Kayden asked if he was ready to leave. “We can leave whenever you want baby.”



Eli listened as Hazel spoke. “Yes, I am happy my sister is gonna be okay. My favorite food. That is a hard one between pizza and Mexican” He said being honest with her. “And not Taco Bell… Actual real authentic Mexican food.” He smiled as he looked over the menu some more.



He nodded along as she spoke. So she knew he was listening to her. He kept taking sips of his beer as well. “Switching at this time really sucked, but it is what it is. I get you.” He said with a smile as he looked her up and down. She was pretty, and maybe if he could score with a chick this hot… it would be a good rep. He shook that thought out of his head as he took a sip of beer again. “So, how old are you?” He asked really curious. She looked young, but not so young all at the same time.



Joy packed her and Heidi a bag. She went and put it in the car and started the car. Then she felt her phone go off. So, she pulled it out and read the message from Ana. She responded before placing the phone in her pocket.

I was shocked too, but I think she had too much fun with Diego, and she took a nap when we got home. She woke up not that long ago. Sounds good. Leaving the house now.

She got Heidi and went to the car. She thought about going check in on Madi, btu chose against it. She drove to the mansion instead.



Leo listened to her speak. “Yeah… My car is right over there.” He said as he pointed it out and smiled. They headed to his car then got in. “So.. where is this place?” He asked as he started the car and waited for her instructions.


Leo's Car



Nicky smiled as they kissed. The kiss grew more intense until the doctors came in. She pulled away and they both smiled. Then she said not bad and said she wanted to continue kissing him when they got out. “Yes. please let’s continue.” He said with a smile and then the doctors told them they were good to leave. A nurse had already came in and wrapped Nicky’s wrist up. He was just happy it wasn’t worse.



She smiled as they walked out the hotel hand in hand. Then he asked her… how she thought Nicky was doing with the girl. Kaylie put a pondering look on her face for a moment. “I’m sure they are doing fine.” She said with a smile.



Jax shook his head no when she asked if it was bad that she kind of wanted to follow her girlfriend. Then she explained why. “I mean… I don’t think it’s bad Ry… You are concerned.” He said with a shrug. He was sure that her girlfriend wasn’t doing anything wrong, but if she wanted to stalk her… Then that is what they would do.

As they listeed the the song it ended up ending and he took a sip of his drink as was Kori. He heard Kevin say it was good and needed some more twang to it and Kori said it was good. “Thanks guys and Kevi I wil remember that for next time.” He smiled and laughed a little. As they all kept talking and getting to know each other they also kept drinkig. Kvin then asked him if he wrote that all himself. “Yeah man I did, I usually write all my own songs if I am honest. But what do you two do for fun? Also how was your winter breaks?”

@Tiina
@ChayChay05



Kayde chuckled at Finn;s response. “Hey knew year, new semester, new start so maybe they will admit to the feelings even if the other girl has a girlfriend. You can’t help what the heart wants. And okay baby you wanna leave now and have us time in one of our rooms?”



They sat and looked at the menu and as she was looking Elias answered her question about happy his sister is ok. Then he anwered what his favorite food was and it was Pizza and authentic Mexican Food. “Both of those sounds good. My favorite is Pizza as well so we got that in common.”



Madi smiled when he said it sucked trasferrig but he gets her. She has not flirted and felt this good with a guy in awhile. They kept drinking and he then asked her how old she is. “I am 15 going to be 16 soon. What abiut you? You seem like you just turned 17.”



Okay baby just text me when you are here and I will come get you



They got out to the parking lot and he showed her his car and damn it was beautiful. “Dang your car is a beauty, and it is a spot I used to go to clear my head from everything. It is a private road that no one goes up and cops never drive up there and has a nice view of the full town. It is a really beautiful plac and quiet and a good spot to smoke.”


Hadley was happy that they were able to leave. They said she was fine and the burns would disappear in a few days to a week or two but if it hurts to take some advil or tylenol. And if the pain is unbearable or it looks worse then to come back and she nodded her head. The doctor left after that and after they wrapped Nicky’s hand. “Ready to head out? I jsut got to text my brother and tell him I am fine and nothing to worry about.”



Rylee nodded her head at Jax and took his arm and followed them. She was happy that he said it wasn’t bad even thouugh she feels like a jealous girlfriend and she is not even jealous, but she feels like something will happen and she needs to watch for it when she can. They follow them and see them in a hall and Evelyn was rubbing her back with a circle and then she saw Liv crying which made her feel bad. Ater a little bit she heard what Liv said and this made Rylee pissed, how could Jason do it again! And why couldn’t Liv tell her, I mean she was her girlfriend. She looked at Jax after they heard everything and she was debating on coming out and flipping out not at Liv but because of what Jason did again to her. It also did hurt her a little that Liv could tell someone else and not her. She was feeling a mix of emotions and not sure what to do.

She rested her head against his chest while he held her close to him. “. . .” Feeling unsteady and shacky, she took in a breath. Praying it would help settle her uneasy feeling. “No… I’ve already pulled you away from your party long enough…” She replied softly. After everything that had happened, she really just wanted to sleep the rest of the night away and pray when she woke up, it would be nothing but a bad dream.

She lifted her head up to look at hm, giving him a weak smile. “Go, try to enjoy the party you worked so hard to put together. I’ll… Get a taxi back to the school.”


Ash




He looked down at his hands, they felt clampy. “. . .” Piper Took a deep breath before speaking. “Yes… I am pregnant, Ian. No… I don’t know for sure… All I know for sure is that it is twins.”

Taking in a deep breath, he took the moment to think about each word she had said. “. . .” After a moment of silence, he got up from the couch and paced back and forth in front of her. Thinking about the ugly situation that they were now in.

He stopped pacing and looked at her as if he had found a solution to this unfortunate situation. “You could get an ab-rti-n! That would make this whole issue disappear! No one would even know and would just think it was just a silly rumor! Yeah.” A smile spread across his face. He had no intention of being a father nor having any kind of kids. That was just too much. He walked closer to her and got down on his knees in front of her, taking her hands in his. “Besides, being pregnant will have an effect on your singing career. And eventually people will put two and two together and realize that you are the famous rockstar.”

Finn listened as Kayden talked. “Yeah… maybe.” He said with a smile. He knew his sister wouldn’t. He smirked as he replied to the rest of what Kayden said. “Baby, we share a room, but yeah.” He chuckled. He guess Kayden forgot that they switched roommates since they started dating. Jasper and Brex wanted to be together.



Elias listened to her talk. He smiled as she said they had a favorite food in common. It seemed like everyday they found out something else they had in common. He liked that. He also liked how easy things felt with Hazel. “So, what you getting?” He asked with his charming smile.



Kurt smiled as they talked and sipped their beers. Then she said she is about to be 15. “I’ll be 17 in a few days.” He chuckled



Joy drove to the mansion. She didn’t look at her phone again till she got there. She smiled as she saw the message.

We just pulled up.



Leo was happy that Killian decided to stay at the dorms, but only because he was relieved that Killian was safe and away form the craziness. He did wonder however if Killian had heard about the shooting. Which he must not have since he hadn’t called or texted Leo to check on him. He smiled as the car said his car was a beauty. He knew she was. He nodded his head about it being beautiful and all that. Then he followed her directions ot the spot.


@bpalmer Killian mentioned



Nicky smiled and nodded his head. He wasn’t sure how they would get anywhere since his car just got totaled. “Yeah, Let’s head out.” He said with a smile as he grabbed her hand. “Well… text him first baby.” He smiled at her as they stopped in the hallway so she could text him.



Jax nodded his head. Then he followed Rylee. He wasn’t sure what to do. So, he just stood there acting causal and natural.


@Kate



Ash was a little frustrated that she didn’t seem to want him to come with her. Their plans were to spend this time together. “Baby… This is Jax’s party… not mine. Please let me bring you back. I don’t care about this party… I care about you.” He said being fully honest with her.



Piper sat there listening to Ian. She was shocked and angry about what he said. How could he want to k^ll the babies. She sure was glad that Albert hadn’t suggested that. She had got up and watched him pace before he spoke, but what he said… She wasn’t expecting at all. “Screw you Ian… You know me… or I thought you did. I would never do that.” She huffed out and then spoke again. Her voice calmer then the last bit she said. She looked at Albert then back to Ian. “I don’t need you Ian. I don’t want your help and I don’t need it. Let me worry about my career. I don’t want anything from you.” Now she wished she just said they were Albert’s… Then she wouldn’t of even had to deal with Ian.

Kayden chuckled when Finn said they share a room, he forgot all about it, I mean they were at his house back home for break so he fotgot that they were sharing a room here and switched roommates. “Right, I knew that baby, I was just testing you to see if you remembered was all and you passed the test.” He smiled at his man and took his hand in his, “I just hope your ister or little brother wo’t cause issues for us or cause to much trouble this semester.”



Hazel looked at the menu and Eli asked her what she was going to get. “Hmm probably a Cheeseburger with baco on it, and yourself? Also, for a drink I will probably stick with water.” She didn’t really want anyting else to drik like soda or anything and she felt like she was starting to get a little dehydrated since she does not drink water as much as she should.



Madi smiled at him. “Well happy early birthday then, and we are about a year apart so that is not bad.” She inished her last sip and put the bottle down next to her on the ground. “So what does mr mystery man like to do for fun?”



As she laid in bed waiting for her woman to text her that they were there was was thinking about how she got herself where she is today. She was also not sure how to feel seeing her sister Isabella who went MIA when she turned 18 and like ran away from home, also why was she back.

As she was in her thoughts she saw her phonen light up and she looked over and saw it was Joy and that they were there. She was already in her pjs so all she needed was to get on some slippers which she did and then went down and went outside to Joy’s car. “Welcome back babe, and hi again Heidi, you ready to see how big this house is.”


All Leo did was nod his head to her comment about his car being a beaut. They both got in the car and she told him where to go as well as listened to some music on the radio. “So how long have you been going to St.Andrew’s for?” She could tell he had an English accent so she figured he was not from around here and either was here for only a few years or when he was a Freshman. She felt like maybe she could get more answers on the new school she will be attending now before it started.

She still could not believe that she got expelled from West Notttingham, I mean what she did wasn’t that bad, the school and her dad blew it all out of proportion, making it a bigger deal than it was. Yes beig expelled was not good but the reason for it she did not think was that bad.



They walked out of the hospital and she heard Nicky say to text him first so she nodded and got her phoe out and went to her brother’s contact

Idiot:

Hey brosif, Nicky and I were just released. Doc said the xrays and tests they did on me all came back clear and I am ok. They said if I feel pain from the airbag burn then to just take some advil.

She then put her phone away. “well we either walk back to campus, or call a taxi or uber or something to drive us back to campus. And we still have to figure out what campus as well, probably yours since I can just call my brother to pick me up, where if we went to mine then you would have to get another ride back to your campus.”



Rylee and Jax followed them and hid behind a wall that was close but not that close to them and she could hear there convo. What she heard turned her face really red as she was steaming from what she heard about what the a hole did to her again. She understands that it is not easy to say or admit, as she felt the same way when she was in Canada and her last boyfriend tried to do the same thing to her at a party, but she got away, she had a hard time telling her friends but she did. She wanted to step out and freak our right now but she decided to take deep breaths and keep listening in a little more before interrupting them or like act like her and Jax were just walking out and did not know they were out there. She was not sure what to do or how to react right ow but she was trying to calm down a bit.

After the party had ended, he had taken Piper back to her school. But once they had gotten to the town, they didn’t want to part, so Albert had gotten them a hotel room for the night. The next day, Albert walked Piper back to the school. After talking for what felt like forever, she had led him over to the common room, promising she would be right back. So, he walked over to the couch and pulled out his phone. He opened Ista and was browsing to keep himself busy when he stumbled upon a post from Ian.

Ian's post

He felt a bit of annoyance with the post. Was Ian trying to get some attention or something with this post? His fingers began to move across the keyboard on his screen. He was going to give him a piece of his mind. “Hey man, how’s everything going with Piper? Did things settle down?” Albert looked up to see it was Luke. The dude sat down on the couch. “Things…Have been interesting to say the least.” He let out a sigh as he shut off his phone and slide it into his pocket.

“Anyways, what is up, man?”

Evelyn’s breath caught. Her arm had already started to move in muscle memory,m or maybe instinct but the moment Liv said again, it stopped. Her hand hovered at the middle of Liv’s back, fingers flexing once before freezing there, like she was suddenly afraid of doing the wrong thing.

“Hey,” Eve said softly, dropping down with Liv so she wasn’t towering over her. Her voice stayed steady, even if her chest didn’t feel it. “Liv… look at me for a second.” She didn’t touch her yet. Didn’t pull her into a hug. Didn’t assume what she wanted. “I’m here,” she said instead. “But I need to know—d do you want me to hold you? Or do you just want me to sit right here with you?” Her jaw tightened, not with anger yet but something more like restraint. Like she was locking something away so Liv didn’t have to carry it too.

“You don’t have to explain anything,” Eve added gently, slower now. “Not now. Not ever. I just need you to know you’re safe with me. Okay, Liv?”

She smiled faintly. “It may be Jax’s party, but you two usually plan these things together. I’d hate to pull you away from it…” Looking down at the ground as she spoke the last bit. *“I know you care for me… I just… I think I’m just done with this whole night.” She looked back up at him, searching his eyes with her own. “I love you, Ash Wiliams. Now…” Forcing a smile dispite the pain it caused her, she placed her hands flat against his chest and gave him a gentle push. *“Go having fun… Don’t let what had happen ruin your night.”


Ash




“Scr-w you Ian… You know me… or I thought you did. I would never do that… I don’t need you, Ian. I don’t want your help and I don’t need it. Let me worry about my career. I don’t want anything from you.” He could see the flash of anger in her eyes as she spoke. Taking a deep breath as he lowered his head and shock it gently before looking back at her. Placing his hands on hers and giving them a gentle squeeze. “I didn’t mean you should quite it or anything… Just some fans are crazy and some may even take it too far if they find out that you are pregnant.” Though he didn’t agree with his own words, he kept calm as he continued to speak. “I only want what is best for you. . . Anyways I want to be apart of their lives if they are mine.”


While they were busy talking, he had closed his eyes. Listening to the tone in their voices. “…ZzZz…” He ended up dozing off into sleep while still leaning against the wall with his arms folded.

Finn chuckled with Kayden. He laughed a little harder when Kayden said he was testing him and that he passed the test. “Whatever you say love.” He smiled as Kayden took his hand in his own. Finn interlocked their fingers before they started walking out the party. “I don’t care if they cause trouble, as long as they don’t involve me or you.” He chuckled out.



He listened to what she was going to order. He looked over the menu some more then she asked him what he was gonna get. “I’m thinking philly cheesesteak and fries.” He always did love a good philly sandwich.



Kurt smiled as she wished him a happy early birthday. He finished drink as well and did the same thing. He chuckled at her next question. “Mr. Mystery Man.” He chuckled “I like that.” He gave a smirk as he playfully thought as if he wasn’t sure what he liked to do. Finally he spoke again. “Well… for starters… I play basketball even when not playing for school. I also like to write… stories, poems, that kind of thing… I like to doodle… Nothing big… Just little drawings.. I love listening to music and chilling.” He shrugged his shoulders unsure of what else he could say in this moment. “You?”



Joy giggled as Ana came out in her pjs and said welcome back. “Glad to be back love.” She said as she got out the car. Then she unbuckled Heidi and got their bags. Then they walked back towards the mansion.



He listened as she spoke. The music was lower then he normally would listen to it. So, he could hear her directions. “Since I was a freshman… It’s the only reason I’m even in the states… My football scholarship.” He said with a shrug as he followed her directions and they talked.



Nicky watched her texting her scary brother, but did not read it. Once she slipped the phone into her pocket he smiled at her. He listened to her speak. “I can get us an Uber back to West Nottingham… I mean if your brother doesn’t plan on going back to St. Andrew’s tonight… Maybe you could stay the night with me… I could borrow Kaylie’s car tomorrow to bring you back.” He said with a smile as he reached for her hand, with his uninjured wrist, so they could hold hands as they walked out the hospital and waited for the uber. He really hoped she would agree to at least try and spend the night with him. He looked at her in the eyes “You’re beautiful.” He said as if only noticing it now. He smiled a little awkwardly before he turned to start walking out the doors.



Jax watched Rylee react. He could tell she was pissed about what she just heard. They just stood there watching the girls. After Liv reacted to what the other girl said. Jax looked at Rylee. “I know you said… y’all haven’t talked… but I think your girl needs you right now, Ry.”



Liv was crying and wrapped her arms around her knees. She heard Eve talking, but couldn’t react. Her chest was tight and it was getting hard to breathe. Then she heard Eve ***“Liv… look at me for a second.” *** In this moment Liv was relieved that Eve didn’t touch her. She slowly looked at Eve. It was a simple “I’m here.” How she didn’t know how much she needed to hear someone say that right now. Liv put her face back into her knees. Then what Eve said next… Well it sent tingles through Liv’s body. Just hearing Eve ask "d do you want me to hold you? Or do you just want me to sit right here with you?” Liv froze… She wasn’t even sure what she needed in this moment. Part of her wanted Eve to hold her, but the part of her that loved Rylee… well that part knew Eve couldn’t hold her. “Just sit with me.” She finally managed to let slip out through her tears. She didn’t look back up at Eve… She couldn’t… Her having to say just sit with me was hard. Especially when she wanted to be held. Just… well just not by Eve. Then Eve went on to say she didn’t have to explain anything. The last thing Eve said… Made Liv’s heart skip a beat. Liv already knew she was safe with Eve, but hearing the reassurance… knowing they could never be more then friends… well that was hard for Liv. Liv slowly nodded her head. Not lifting it or her eyes. She did make sure that Eve knew she was saying okay without speaking though. She couldn’t understand how… how could Jason do that again to her… He even tried to say he loved her in front of her cousin. That’s not love is all she knew. She just hoped… well she hoped the rest of the story wasn’t going to repeat itself. All she could think about was What if she got pregnant this time all because Jason had to take what he wanted. He wasn’t his to take though. The scars sure ran a lot deeper then anyone knew.

Ash listened to her say it may have been Jax’s party but blah blah blah. He watched her look down before she spoke again. She said some stuff then looked back at him. saying she loved him and forcing a smile. He knew it was a forced smile because he knew her. Then she placed her hands on his chest and gently pushed him away as she said Go have fun He grabbed her hands in his and held them against his chest as he moved closer to her. Making all space between them disappear. He leaned in and whispered in her ear. “I get being done with the night my love. The only way it will ruin my night… is if I’m not able to spend it with you. Look… a shooting and them my stupid fight…” He looked around still seeing cop cars. “Plus these cops… I’m ready to get out of here too.” He said then focused back on her and leaned in again. “I’m not worried about Jax… He is a big boy… All that matters to me is you. My nights without you are boring, plus this is the last night we have together for a few weeks baby.”



Piper watched Ian closely. She watched him take a deep breath. She as still shocked he even suggested it. That hurt her more then anything. She watched him lower his head and shake it as if he was shaking a thought out. Then he looked back at her and placed his hands on hers squeezing them gently as he spoke. She rolled her eyes again. Then he said he only wants what is best for her. She scoffed. The last part of what he said did shock her… However, she did know if either or both of them was Ian’s that he would want to be in their lives because he didn’t have his dad. She glanced over at Albert and watched him close his eyes as he leaned against the wall. She still couldn’t believe he could sleep standing up and leaning on a wall. It was a mystery to her. She looked back at Ian… “I knew you would want to be a part of their lives… if they are yours Ian… I know you… Just letting you know… if one or both of them are yours… I don’t expect anything from you… I won’t deny you to be in their lives Ian, but there will be rules that you will follow.” She wasn’t going to let him control her anymore. Ian and Lexi were the reason that her and Koda didn’t really talk anymore. Unless they were doing a concert and Koda came. “And again… I will deal with my fans Ian… I, Piper don’t have social media. Sasha only has an account for PR reasons. which my manager handles that social.” She wasn’t even sure when or how or if they could find out before the babies were born whose they were. She decided she needed to do research on that. Like did they have to wait till the babies are born, or is there some kind of test they could do while she is pregnant that would tell them who the dad was… Luckily she knew for sure it was one of them two. It was the only two guys she had ever been with.

Kevin nods at Holden’s answer, impressed but trying not to show it too much. “Thats cool,” he says. “Feels like a ‘wrote-this-at-2-a.m.’ song—In the best way though!!.”

Then Holden asks what they do for fun and about winter break, and Kevin laughs—short, amused, like he already knows his answer’s about to sound questionable. “Well…” he starts, glancing sideways at Kori with a grin that’s definitely intentional, “apparently I spend a decent amount of time texting her. He lifts his shoulders in a half shrug, still smiling. “Didn’t realize that until, like… halfway through break.” He tries to keep it oh so casual, but not accidental. He glances at Kori to see her reaction out of the corner of his eye.

“As for fun,” he continues, turning back to Holden, [color=#037d9c]“depends on the week. I hang out with friends, play pickup games, try not to get arrested—normal stuff.” He grins. This is usually good hook line when he’s meeting people. “…Okay, mostly try not to.” Kevin takes a sip of his drink, then adds, like it’s an afterthought, “I did get paid once over break to drive a box across town and not ask questions.” He raises a finger quickly. “Not illegal!…I don’t think. Definitely weird, though.” Kevin grins again, unapologetic. “Winter break was solid. Chaos, but solid.” He tilts his head toward Kori. “What about you?” he asks, genuinely curious.

Then, because Kevin can’t help himself, he looks back at Holden. “And you? Please tell me ‘famous YouTuber winter break’ is exciting.” He laughs, the energy lifting again. He starts to hope he can be friends with Holden.

“So… so far, so good.” That earned a quiet breath of a laugh from Tracie before she could stop it—more exhale than sound, the kind that slipped out when something amused her against her will. She tipped her head slightly, lips curling just a bit.

“It sucked, but it is what it is.” Tracie hummed softly, noncommittal, like she agreed but didn’t feel the need to expand on it.

“Well,” Neveah said, still smiling, “it’s nice to meet you, Tracie.” Tracie dipped her chin in response, amusement still lingering in her eyes. “Yeah,” she said. “Likewise.”

Vincenzo smiled when she laughed, that soft, crooked grin that only showed up when it was just her. “Hey,” he murmured, brushing his thumb along her jaw as she leaned in, his voice warm and steady, grounding. He kissed her back slow, unhurried, like he was reminding both of them they had time. Then rested his forehead against hers. “I missed you too,” he said quietly, like it mattered more than anything else in the room. It had felt like as soon as he got back, she had left for two weeks. They’d really only had a few a few hours to themselves before her flight. Even though they texted quite a bit on her trip, they hadn’t completely had time to work through their emotions. Plus, he didn’t want to bombard her winter break with his messaging.

His hands settled at her waist, familiar and gentle, holding her there instead of rushing anything, like the simple fact of being together again was something he wanted to feel fully before going any further.

Kori smiled as Holden thanked them. Then he asked both Kevin and Kori what they liked to do for fun and how was their winter break. She smiled as she let Kevin go first. Kori felt Kevin glance at her when he said well. She felt nervous all of a sudden. Then he said “apparently I spend a decent amount of time texting her. Kori hoped that neither of them could see the blush that she felt was creeping up on her face. She couldn’t help but let her smile grow some as she thought about it herself. They did spend pretty much the whole break texting or hanging out. Then he made it seem like a part of everyday conversation when he said “Didn’t realize that until, like… halfway through break.” Kori giggled lightly at it. Then she took a sip of her drink while he kept talking. Luckily for her both of them were looking at each other when she knew her face had probably went pink. She hoped when Kevin glanced at her after the halfway through break part… well she was hoping it wasn’t noticeable that she was blushing. She was shocked when he said he drove a box across town. It sounded sketchy. Then he said winter break was solid. Then he tilted his head toward her and said “What about you?” She smiled as she started to speak. She made sure to not look at one for too long. Instead she looked back and forth between the two as she spoke. Since she was talking to them both. “Well… Winter break… was winter break. I stayed here… texting with this goofball.” She said as she playfully pushed him. She couldn’t help but giggle. “For fun… Well honestly… I’m not sure what fun is. Between sports, and the clubs I’m in and all the other extra curricular activities… I don’t have much time for fun. However, when I do have free time…” She paused for a moment to think of what and how to say what she liked to do. “I enjoy reading a good book, playing tennis, playing violin, music… and texting or hanging with friends.” She said with a shoulder shrug. Then she looked at Holden “Yes, what do you do for fun?” She said since Kevin asked about his winter break.

Nevaeh smiled as they talked. She always loved getting to know new people. “So… tell me more about you Tracie.” She smiled at her as she stood there drinking her drink.


(I’m sorry… I feel it sucks… Hope to you)



She smiled as he said hey. Then he brushed his thumb along her jaw and it sent shivers throughout her whole body. She smiled as they kissed. It wasn’t rushed and just felt so perfect. Her smile grew bigger as he said he missed her too. They stayed in this moment for a little bit. Then she leaned in and kissed him again. After the kiss she pulled away just enough to put her lips next to his ear. Then she whispered seductively into his ear. “I want you.” Truth was she needed him. His touch and the way he knew just what buttons to push. Then she needed him to just spend the night and hold her.

She let out a soft sigh, feeling exhausted from everything that had happened from the night. *“Okay… Let’s get going..”

“I knew you want to be a part of their lives… If they are yours, Ian… I know you… Just letting you know… If one or both of them are yours… I don’t expect anything from you… I won’t deny you to be in their lives, Ian, but there will be rules that you will follow.” Ian bit his tongue to prevent himself from saying anything. In truth, he didn’t want any kids. Then a thought popped in his head. He glanced over his shoulder to look at Albert. If it wasn’t for the fact that Albert was snoozing, Ian would have thought the guy was just lost in thought with his eyes shut.

Turning his attention back to Piper as she continued to speek. “And again… I will deal with my fans, Ian… I, Piper, don’t have social media. Sasha only has an account for PR reasons, which my manager handles that social.” He took the moment to think her words over. If the twins were to be born and turned out to be his, Piper would set rules for him to follow… He didn’t like the idea of following some B.S. rules set by some b-tsh who didn’t even know if they were his or not.

He thought back to the idea he had a moment ago. It would take care of the problem at hand, but… He just needed to find a way to get rid of Albert. The dude was always with Piper like some bodyguard.

Ian took in a sharp breath before speeking. “Why don’t we go over the rules you want to set over dinner next weekend?” He smiled softly. “I will respect your decition if you want to keep the babies… Just… Please don’t cut me out if they are mine… I… Want to help raise my children and support you and the babies.”

He smiled at Finn knowing that his excuse did not work on him. “okay, okay I completly forgot and was not testing you, but I had to try. And who knows it could include you eventually but lets hope not.” Finn then interlocked his fingers with his and they walked out of the party and started to walk back to campus just holding hands and talking a little bit.



Hazel nodded her head as he said what he wanted and then a waiter came by and since they both knew what they wanted, they both ordered there drinks and food at the same time. “So you and Hazel seem very close, did something like happen to you guys to make you closer or where you always that close?”



Madi listened to hi intently and also gave a little chuckle when he said he liked her little nickname for him. “Oh yeah? You like to be a mustery?” She smiled at him. Then he continued to tell her a little about what he does for fun. Once he was done she just nodded her head “Gotcha, well that seems chill and fun. As for me I also, play basketball for the school and for fun, but this season I did not play. I also like to play piano and guitar, I like to watch movies, and listening to music. Also I just found out that I have a little sister so hanging with her is fun to, but she can be annoying sometimes.”



She smiled when Joy got Heidi out and then got the bags. “ugh ugh ugh I am getting the bags, you guys are the guests.” She smoled at them and took the bags from Joy and all went into the house. "So do you want Heidi to sleep with us tonight or would she be okay in her own room? I mean I can put her with my son to in the same room, but he is already sleeping.



Elena listened and nodded as he talked. She knew she has seen him before which was when West Nottingham played St.Andrews. “Oooo that is why you look familiar. We never talked but I have seen you when West Nottingham and St. Andrew’s played against each other. I went to west Nottingham, but got expelled, so now I am going to be attending St.Andrew’s since I guess my dad knows someone that works there.” She said and looked out the window. She then told him to turn right a little more ahead and when he did they went up and she told him to stop when they get to the spot and you can clearly see the town and the lights and it was pretty. There was also a bech to they could sit outside if they wanted but she was not sure if they should since it is Winter and it is cold but she was good either way. “Do you like it at St.Andrew’s?”


Once she texted her brother she put her phone away and then Nicky said they could go back to West Nottingham and she could stay there and then drive her back tomorrow if Eli was not goingn back to WNA. “Yeah that sounds good and works and if my brother asks I will say I am sleeping in Kaylie’s room.”

Nicky then reached over for her hand with his good hand and waited for the Uber. He the also complimented her saying she was beautful and her cheeks went red when he said that. “Thanks you are not bad looking yourself handsome.” She smmiled but her cheeks were still red most likely.



Rylee was silent for a minute and Jax said that even though they have not talked that Liv most likely needs her. Rylee took a deep breath, “Yeah you are right she does, I just hope I don;t fuck this up.” She said and looked back and watched or another minute then she walked out from where her and Jax were and walked over to Liv and Evelyn. She wanted to hug Liv but she knew it would freak her out if she was touched or hugged with surprise and not knowing who it was, Rylee was like that after her ex boyfriend tried to do the same thing to hear, luckily he did not succeed. “Hey Evelyn and baby, Liv baby, you can be mad at me but I heard what you just said to Evelyn about what Jason did. I’m so sorry that it happened and I was not there to protect you, or Evelyn wasn’t there. If either of us were you butt you cute as we would have beat the living sht out of him. I hope you know I want to fly back now and k**l him. Am I allowed to hug you? If not I get it.” She was trying to keep her cool about that and also how she was stil upset with Liv not being able to tell her but could tell someone else but that will pass.



Holden listened to Kevin and nodded his head to Kevin’s com;ilmet and how it sounded like he wrote that at 2AM. “Thanks man I appreciate it.” He then heard Kevin talk about his break and he raised his eyebrows as it did seem odd and he was surprised that he would do it but hey he was he to judge, Holden has doe things that he was not proud of. He could see that Kevin liked Kori in more than a friend way by how they talked half the break and didn’t relaie it to looking at her.

“Dang an that souds wild, you are lucky you did not get pulle dover or something, or like whoever asked you to drive thr box truck was ot lie an undercover. As for staying out of trouble that is normal, we all try but usually we end up getting caught or in trouble. But still sounds like a fun time espeically texting Kori.” He smiled at them and took a sip of his drink. Then Kevi asked him what he did. “Eh, nothing exciting like you man. I jsut went surfing, performed ar some places, went to the beach, skateboarded, cliff jumped, jetskied, fished, went boating. Nothingn too special.” He said shrugging his shoulders.

Kori then spoke about what she did and said she stayed around the school over winter break and texted Kevin. She then said that she does not know what fun was since she was so busy with school and and extra curricular activities, but does enjoy reading, tennis, violin and music, the of course the texting and hanging with friends. “Yeah sounds like you are busy, and tennis and violin sounds like family put you into that when you were little, am I right? or did you just randoly decide to do that when you got old eough you could.”

In West Nottingham’s Common Room


“Well, I just want to apologize on behalf of my cousin Austen. I know at the party he kind of interrupted the conversation you were having with Piper. That wasn’t right for him to do. And then this morning the blog post came out…” He scratched the back of his head. “I don’t know why he’s in so much drama lately. Me and him weren’t always on good terms, but recently we made up when I got engaged to Wren…So, I just want to apologize on behalf of him. I thought he was changing.” Luke felt awkward for some reason. Maybe it’s because he was inserting himself in someone else’s relationship when he was having his own relationship problems. “Are you and Piper still together? How do you deal with this love triangle situation? I mean, it’s gotta drive ya crazy and everything.” He leaned towards Albert even more, very interested in hearing what he had to say. Maybe it’s because he wanted his own advice on his love triangle situation even if it was one sided.

In West Nottingham’s Common Room


Austen was on the campus of West Nottingham because he wanted to apologize to Arya, but she blew him off and just walked right past him. He wanted to get her to understand. Now she was in Mr Lockhart’s Math class. His first class for St Andrews was Kevin’s language history class. It was stupid and he couldn’t follow that class to save his life. Or maybe he was the stupid one. He didn’t know or care. He decided to skip the first class and just sit in the upstairs common room of West Nottingham, feeling sorry for himself. He rested his elbows on his knees and ran his hands through his messy hair, letting out a deep breath. Then he finally got up and walked downstairs where he saw his cousin Luke sitting and talking to fish face Albert in the common room. The human ken doll wannabe. He probably thought he was the hottest guy at school when he just looks plastic. Hell, he probably even got plastic surgery on that skinny a$$ nose.

Austen looked to their left and saw Arya’s ex - boyfriend, Liam, sitting while typing on his phone. With a smirk, Austen decided to go up to him and sit down. “Hey Liam is it? It’s Austen. I don’t think we’ve ever met.” He stretched out his hand for Liam to shake. He figured that he might as well become friends with Liam just in case Arya decided to date someone else. At the very least, it would make her feel awkward which would be revenge for letting go of him.

New Banners - WNA, SA


At St Andrews w/ Cecilia


When Cecilia left his room at the Lockhart mansion, Jonas pretended to be okay with it but he really wasn’t. “Okay…” He kissed her gently, and then turned around again to finish buttoning up his shirt. He hated that her sister interrupted their… Private time… And now they were both going off somewhere and he was just left with his thoughts.


The next morning his mom, Lindsay Sharon, told him that the guy who was stalking them was an ex - coworker of her’s who was obsessed with her. She also told him that she was going to file a police report on him and do whatever she could. Jonas felt like a huge weight was lifted off of him. That creep would be behind bars in no time. He could barely sleep because images of him showing up to the party with Cecilia, possibly holding her hand and flirting with her. It was beginning to drive him crazy.


Classes were starting again. Jonas walked around his dorm room fully nude. His roommate was already going to his first class, so he had the room all to himself. He already finished taking a shower so he stood in front of the mirror and started putting some fragrant powder all over his body. Then he sprayed Cologne all around himself and put hair cream throughout his hair.

He decided to go for a pirate look today. He took out another button down dress shirt from his closet and put it on. That was his favorite thing to wear. He pulled up his brown slacks and buckled his belt. Then he took a selfie in the mirror and posted it to Instagram.


He drove to St Andrews. He really wanted to see Cecilia Laurent. He hadn’t seen her ever since she left the Lockhart mansion. She already told him that she was going to her language studies class, but she didn’t know he was going to surprise her.

Jonas walked through the double doors of St Andrews. He had to admit, it was a large school but West Nottingham had better architecture and just looked fancier in general.

Walking into St Andrews was like walking into a dark hallway as a blind ghost. Despite dating Cecilia for a few weeks, he still had never been to her school. As soon as he turned his head however, he saw Cecilia about to walk into class.

She was holding her books to her chest and her hair was curled and strawberry as always, just like he liked it.

“Cecilia…you look beautiful.” He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. Then he leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Mademoiselle, que diriez-vous d’aller dans un couloir isolé pour discuter. Je veux vous montrer quelque chose, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire."Translation: Mademoiselle, what do you say we go into a secluded closet and talk? I want to show you something, if you get my drift."
