Max rolled his eyes, heaving a dramatic sigh as he brought his cigarette to his lips for a drag. âHow many more do you have? Weâre coming up on the building, should we slow down our pace so you can get a few more quips out? Donât mind hanging back,â he mumbled, tossing his barely finished cigarette to the ground as the taste of nicotine began to turn his stomach. Max shook his head at Bradley, sniffing as he scuffed his boots along the damp cement. âI know you donât,â he said. âIf I thought you did, wouldnât really give you the time of day anymore,â he explained, chuckling as he glanced down to her for a moment. As she finished her thought, he cleared his throat, stopping outside of Green Buzz illuminated in that very colour, a green G reflected onto the pavement. âPart of me kind of wishes I could like⌠Go back in time,â he admitted. âAnd not to erase everything we did, because I donât regret any of it. I donât regret, you know, being with you or whatever,â he gestured between them, exhaling shakily. âI just â I feel like we fucked up by trying to make it work when we both werenât stable enough, you know? Just both crash landing simultaneously knowing weâd both inevitably fucking die at the end of it. Didnât make much sense,â he stated simply. âSo, I kinda wish I could start the whole, you know, romantic storyline a little later. Like fucking⌠now or maybe even when weâre more â I donât know. Not sure what Iâm saying anymore.â
Swamped in a jacket that didnât belong to her, Bradley fretted a thumb through a moth bitten hole in the cuff, hands growing agitated the second they fell still. She kept getting the urge to compact them into a tight fist, to grasp onto something so hard that her fingers trembled and her knuckles turned white. It was the urge to ground herself somewhere. She sucked in another drag instead f thinking about it. âItâs just fucking...â trailed off, words chased out by smoke. A strained breath of laughter caught in her throat like a silk thread on barbed wire, eyes cold as they investigated the toes of her boots. âJust a bit fucked, really, because I donât think I can even--... I donât think Iâll ever--...â She hated this -- trying to be honest. Whenever she did, it was like she could hear her fatherâs voice in the back of her head, see the quiver in his lips when he was trying not to smile, his incisors sharp like a shark catching a whiff of blood in the water. It was like she was centre stage in front of a thousand face audience, podium lights blaring, not a script in sight. Even with Max, who sheâd learned, steadily, wouldnât laugh at things like this. Itâd just been so long since sheâd allowed herself to say anything out loud. âYou think youâre better, then?â she asked finally, eyes flitting to find his as she swallowed around the tension in her throat. Balancing the weight of an elephant on a tightrope no thicker than a single human hair. That was what it felt like, trying not to crack when she looked at him. Trying not to tell him how bad things were. âYou feel... I donât know. Stable? Whatever that means,â came with a faint ebb of amusement, corners of her lips tweaking in a lame attempt at a smile. âNot trying to--... Not trying to say anything, by asking that, Iâm just... Guess Iâm curious. Genuinely.â Her gaze shifted towards Green Buzz at a drift of chatter from inside, door propped ajar to allow for a girlâs exit. Bradley paused for a beat before something inside her spewed up to the surface, a bad idea that she couldnât bite her tongue on. âWanna just come back to mine? Sask might be in. Got a bunch of free weed, from this gawky looking guy.â

When the manâs expression went from one of indifference to one of genuine regret at not being able to give her what she wanted, Alyssa knew that she had him. The same smile that got her the tips she lived off of tended to work off stage as well, especially in these moments now, with Bradley making snide comments off to the side. Under the bar, Alyssa placed a gentle hand atop of her friendâs, fingers curling around the otherâs in a silent plea to let her sweet talk him into allowing her a drink. Her comments hadnât seemed to turn him off to the idea of letting Alyssa order for them. She nodded sympathetically at his warning, about to order when Bradley cut her off, a soft sigh escaping her even as an amused smile played at the corner of her glossed lips. The man seemed to be ignoring Bradley in favor of staying on Alyssaâs good side, the cerulean haired girl giving him a bright, flirtatious smile when he asked for her name. At Bradleyâs words, she gave her hand a gentle squeeze. âJust a vodka cranberry,â she didnât quite feel like blacking out tonight. âAnd my name is Lola.â The ease of her tone was believable enough, and sheâd gotten used to using different names with various unfavorable men. The bartenderâs shy grin widened at the seeming lack of rejection, and Alyssa continued to portray the girl he seemed to enjoy. She was all but batting her lashes at him, teeth catching her lower lip in a bashful smile before he turned to walk down the bar to fix their drinks, Alyssa dropping the facade and turning back to Bradley. âYouâve got to stop with the projectiles. Not every man will bend to my charm,â she chides, pulling her hand away to adjust her top slightly lower than it had been. âGood job on the manager, though, that guyâs an ass.â
It felt like the jolt of a live wire in a full-to-the-brim bathtub, Alyssaâs hand on hers, no matter how gently sheâd placed it there. Sheâd been bad, lately, even at the slightest touch. A man bumped into her in the supermarket when she was pouring over labels, searching for the highest percentage proof that was small enough to slip into the back of her waistband, and sheâd started so suddenly that a bottle landed in a crash besides her boot. Cuffed ankle of her boyfriend jeans sopping, she held a rigid palm up to indicate that she didnât need assistance, violently sidestepping when he so much as steadied her elbow and asked if she was alright. It was her last trip home that was responsible. Sheâd been seeing it in her dreams, ever since, picturing that winding driveway and the all white walls, the gentle sway of the tulips in the back yard, so yellow it scorched something inside her. Looking at them left welts. âThanks for nothing, Mr. Brand,â Bradley called out to him as he retreated, ignoring the fact heâd just come up with an elaborate rouse that allowed her to drink. She hadnât moved her hand at all in the entire time that Alyssa had held it, too scared that a touch that gentle would trigger something volcanic, if she acknowledged it properly. Tony Milligan operated in a way that meant he set the cold compress to the skin before he inflicted the burn. âWorst fucking hairline Iâve ever seen. So low to the ground itâs winning first place in a limbo competition,â she exhaled, swivelling slightly so that she could pay her full focus to Alyssa. Beneath the bar, the hand Alyssa hadnât touched furled in on itself, fingers gauging crescent impressions against her palm. âYeah. He was eating this big plate of bolognese, in the back, one time. Always eats bolognese, like heâs living in a fucking Dolmio advert. Went black ops one time when he was having a piss and just... threw it, plate and all. Got a bit of the sauce on my face, when I did, though, and it was pretty good. Tongue flicking around like a salamander to get the rest off. Wouldnât have minded a proper bite,â she explained, thrumming with energy from both the adrenaline spike of physical contact and the bump sheâd had, earlier. Russell returned, setting down their glasses and shooting Alyssa an apologetic smile as he nodded to a far booth. Snatching up her vodka, Bradley raised it in toast, careless to the slosh she got on the counter. âThanks for serving me, Russell,â she said rather loudly to expose his plan, hopping up off the bar stool and making her way to the corner table.

bradley: anyway
bradley: idk i'd probably be the one that snaps and bites a girl's ankle in the middle of a fight. gets thrown off the show for breaking the No Violence rule bc all reality tv is pussy shit since jersey shore

âHey,â Teddy whined when he felt Bradley pat at his back, loose t-shirt rolling higher on his torso from the movement, âno free shows allowed. Iâm working on becoming a born again virgin and I donât think this is the right path to go down,â Flashing the bartender a largely cartoonish smile, Teddy held both beers in hand, refusing to break eye contact first. He knew that he was coming across as far too obvious, sure that the man working behind the counter was aware of what Teddy was going to do the second he turned his back, but after his comment and a put-out eye roll, he was moving away to take more orders, âSlam dunk! Ally-oop!â Teddy hollered, motioning the beer towards Bradley dramatic, imitating slam-dunking a basketball into a net without actually spilling any of the beer over the lip of the bottle. âUgh, vodka gives me, like, year long hangovers. Even though Iâm pretty sure clear alcoholâs supposed to be better on you hangover wise? Dunno, kinda ruined it for myself in freshman year either way,â Tapping the tip of his bottle against Bradleyâs, Teddy took a generous sip while Bradley spoke, making a noise of confirmation, âGot some pretty good blow, actually. This dealer Iâve never tried before, but my other one wasnât picking up and I always feel kinda bad bumming off Blake even though he says he doesnât care. Like, when youâre supposed to say you donât care to be polite? I think heâd just straight up tell me to fuck off if the circumstances were different but now that weâre dating I feel like he thinks maybe heâs obligated? Not that he says he feels obligated âcause thatâs rude too,â Teddy rambled on, gesticulating wildly as he did so. Even without the lines heâd done earlier, he was usually as energetic as they come, however the chemically induced kick in adrenaline surely didnât help, âWhat? Oh, yeah, no problem. Iâll get you, like, something with vodka next time. Iâm going to the washroom, you wanna come?â
Corners of her lips twitching with the urge to smile as he made a noise mid sip, Bradley lifted her eyebrows and maintained a neutral expression. âOh? Letting out a yiff, for the boys? Didnât realise this was a furry hot spot.â Nodding along, she took another swig from her beer as she listened. âRight, yeah, quite the predicament. Kind of like heâs an udder and youâre just... You know, fucking going to town, yoinking on it,â she explained, hand lifting up to make a jerking off motion like a farmer doing their best to juice out a fresh pale. âAnd heâs too lovesick to tell you heâs chafing. He knows the townsfolk need their calcium. Give the people their milk, I say! No matter the cost! Fuck,â came as her hand dropped, landing with a light thud against the counter. âSomebody get him the Savlon. Sounds kind of like a modern day vigilante. Putting those less fortunate first. Robin Hood, giving back to the poor.â In reality, even if her default sarcasm mightâve implied otherwise, Bradley actually found Teddy somewhat amusing. Heâd go off on one tangent after another, back to back, for what felt like hours compacted down into three short minutes. It was probably down to the sheer volume of topics that he managed to cover in the space of a few breaths. Sometimes, it felt like sitting next to a gremlin sheâd made the mistake of feeding after midnight, being around him, but sheâd always preferred the toothy monstrosities to the fluffy thing at the beginning of the movie. âNext time? Fuck. Hey, big spender! Absolute baller. Party rock is in the house tonight...â trailed off, amusement growing more obvious as he induced another round of whiplash, encouraging her towards the bathroom. âThis some voyeurism shit? You inviting me to watch you fire out a fat log, so we can stare down into the bowl, after, and name him like heâs our firstborn son? Wow,â came as she slipped up off the stool, already falling into step. âCount me in!â Completely ignoring the sign reading âMENâ, Bradley wandered in like sheâd just deposited the down payment and was perfectly entitled to sleep there, if she wanted, tips of her fingers investigating a dick graffitiâd onto the closest stall. âErm? You canât be in here?â a redhead practically gasped, prompting a limp waft of her hand in his face. âFucking relax, Ed Sheeran. Bitter âcause your Game of Thrones cameo was shit, perhaps?â He scuttled out like a disgruntled crab along the ocean floor, leaving them alone among the grime and soda spills. âI could sell to you, you know,â she informed, stuffing her hands into her pockets as she studied him. âSave you sponging, in future.â
saskiacvhenâ:
Saskia was looking for a certain person, tapping them on the shoulder as she popped the bubble of her gum, trying to dissipate the smell of vodka on her breath as she offered them a smile. âI have a favor to ask. My dealerâs outside, and heâs offering me some free weed. But only if I get you to talk to him. Apparently he has a crush, or something.â She ran a hand through tangled brown hair, looking at a hole in her fishnet tights, pulling at it with her index finger. âThinks youâre cute. Donât worry, heâs harmless. Just like⌠really awkward. Think he wanks every night to photos of people hugging.â
Perched up on a counter-top with a leg pulled towards her chest, Bradley sipped from a red Solo cup as a nameless boy gingerly applied a plaster to her freshly skinned knee -- sheâd stolen somebodyâs skateboard, held onto the back of a moving car and ended up rolling almost twenty miles per hour into a carefully pruned hedge. She had a matching cut along her cheekbone, a particularly gnarled bramble catching her off guard as she went catapulting. The ebb of blood didnât seem to bother her, though, fingertips poking so they could reach out and swipe a lone line down the centre of Saskiaâs forehead, in response. âSim-bah. Youâre welcome, for the christening.â It was obvious from the way she prodded the boy away with the toe of her boot that she was drunk, merely pulling a face when he took a second longer than necessary to extract his hand from her leg. âChrist. Evacuate. Hear that? Sirens. Get to the air raid shelter!â Once heâd scuttled astray, cool eyes pinged to land on Saskia. âSask, I genuinely think Iâd rather fuck Timothy Spall. Which one is he? Mousy, with the cricked neck? Always looks like heâs in the middle of the Thriller dance?â As if example was needed, she angled her head onto an awkward slant before letting it go slack again. âPussy bwoi.â She let out a sigh. âIâll do it, but heâs giving two bags, not one. If we graze elbows and he cums in his jorts, Iâll lose it. Iâll go fucking feral.â

THE  BRIT  QUITE  LITERALLY  CHOKED  ON  HIS  IPA,  a  stinging  sensation  tingling  his  nostrils,  eyes  watering  as  he  tapped  his  chest  with  a  curled  up  FIST,  attempting  to  regain  some  sort  of  composure.  he  blinked  a  couple  of  times,  curling  his  fingers  against  the  wooden  bar  before  turning  to  face  the  raven  haired  female,  âHANG  onâŚthatâs  for  real?â  charlie  questioned  in  awe,  captivating  chocolate  orbs  glistening  with  amusement,  âsaw  that  earlier  and  thought  it  was  likeâŚa  meme  or  something.  actually  wouldnât  be  surprised  to  find  that  plastered  all  over  instagram  and  tumblr⌠ âbeware  of  the  spaghetti  girl!  sheâll  haunt  your  dreams  and  overcook  your  noodles.â  he  snorted,  cocking  a  brow,  âalright,  how  about  this.  iâll  order  your  drink  for  you,  make  it  look  like  iâm  a  thirsty  motherfucker  and  when  the  cute  bartender  with  the  nice  ass  isnât  looking,  you  toss  it  back.  iâll  be  your  rigatoni  accomplice.â  the  guitarist  teased  with  a  smirk.
âShit, do you need a Heimlich? Can I get a Heimlich? Can I please get a Heimlich?â Bradley quoted the waffle Vine to nobody in particular, craning her neck to get a glance around the bar as if the request was genuine. Attention returning to Charlie at his question, she waited for clarification before the corners of her lips just barely tweaked, eyes averting elsewhere. âAlright, Christ -- settle down, class. Hands off my baby sweetcorn. Jerking it all around the place,â came accompanied by a sigh like she cared at all, black thumbnail chipping at a fleck of wood splintering off the counterâs edge. She gently prodded against the sharp point, playing Sleeping Beauty with the spindle, briefly stuck with the image of her slumping forwards like a sack of old potatoes, gone limp at the start of a long fairy-tale. It was a nauseating thought, really, given that sheâd always found Disney films irritating. They wreaked of the kind of ever-glowing optimism sheâd never witnessed, in person. âCute bartender with the nice ass?â Her eyes flit to test the theory. âReally? Kind of looks like a sock with two rocks jangling around in it. Something youâd whack a mugger under a bridge, with. Just fucking... Concave. Coming for Timothee Chalametâs brand,â she observed, gaze shifting once more. âYeah? Thanks. Iâd cry, but I had my tear-ducts surgically removed and sold on the black market. Hand delivered them, and everything. Hats off to Finn Wolfhard for the investment, I guess. Fuck knows, he needs the extra help turning on the waterworks. Watching him act is like a live action Pinocchio where he never becomes a real boy.â

Shaking his head, Max lit his cigarette, in need of a moment to calm down. He felt like he had to do that a lot recently, take a breather so not to snap. Exhaling with smoke on his lungs, he glared down at the ground. âYeah, weâre doing great as friends, youâre right. Super.â Swallowing thickly, he eyed her as he leaned against the brick wall of the bar, letting her rant and rave as much as she felt necessary. âWhen you want him to?â he asked. âDid the whole back room at No Angels thing just slip your memory? Pretty sure I wouldnât be letting someone like thatâs dick anywhere near me,â he mumbled. Nodding his head, Max wanted to believe that was true, but he wasnât entirely convinced. âFine, if you say youâre good, then itâs good,â he said, shaking his head as he dropped his cigarette to the ground. âSo, letâs drink,â he decided, nodding his head. âSomewhere else. Anywhere but fucking â Where I work,â he said, gesturing down the street. Max wanted for things to work for them, to keep in touch and to stay friends, but it was proving more and more difficult. They were too invested and it got in the way. âGreen Buzz is just down there, so⌠Might as well. If thatâs what you came to do.â
Bradley fell silent, at that. There wasnât even any reasonable justification that she could give. In fact, deep down, she agree, and she could tell by the way she felt slightly sick whenever Billy looked at her. But sheâd always been the kind of person to be drawn to touching a hot stove, to want to jab every button that had a label firmly stating âDO NOT PUSHâ. If something was bad for her, some conditioned part of her couldnât help but make grabby hands. Rather than commenting at all, she poked the tip of her index along a line of dried mortar, chasing the formation between the bricks as she sucked in another drag. âThought you just had to walk me home,â she cited the excuse heâd given Nicolette right back to him, eyes flitting up after a skipped beat to linger on his. âDangerous out there.â Eyebrows lifting slightly, it was with her cigarette perched back between her lips again that she attempted to ease her jawâs clench, still far too hopped up to function normally. Things always seemed to work out that way -- even if they were with somebody else, theyâd make up excuses to spend time with each other. âGood job youâre coming along. I mean, Christ, I could have been eaten by a wolf, on the way there. Approached by a troll under a bridge that wouldnât let me pass without solving a riddle.â Something lingered on the tip of her tongue as she studied him, stubborn nature meaning that she kept swallowing it back down again, stomaching it like a wave of nausea she wasnât prepared to cough up, yet. Falling into step in the general direction, it wasnât until sheâd laid a few more trudges of her steel toed boots that she exhaled to break her silence, stare lodged on a street lamp in the distance. âI donât mean to be a cunt, you know.â Her steps fell short, lingering at random on a spot of sidewalk. Catching the inside of her cheek between her molars, she grated pressure there once more, tongue flush with the taste of copper in a way that didnât even make her flinch. âI just fucking--...â trailed off, useless shrug providing nothing as she sighed at her feet. âJesus, I donât know. Do you ever miss when we were--... Like, normal? Feel like thereâs just all this shit, now, that I canât--... I donât know. Donât really know what Iâm saying, to be honest. Think I just... overdid it, a little, and now Iâm chatting actual shit, a hundred miles an hour. She needs some fucking... milk.â

âSounds like something Shrek would like to eat. Donât touch me rancid sea cucumbers!â Voice raising to practically a holler, spit flew unceremoniously from his mouth as he attempted a rather pathetic rendition of a Scottish accent, flecking and landing in Bradleyâs general vicinity, âOh, Jesus Christ. Land ho,â It was with a choked off chuckle that Mercyâs expression immediately turned sour when Bradley called him by his birth given name, an obvious jab at some sort of rare vulnerable bone, cutting through skin and oozing as grotesquely as the idea of him showing any sort of reaction to her words at all. âDonât be a moron,â he replied lamely, determined to keep his cool instead of letting her win and snapping in her face like a rabid dog like he really wanted to. Mercy knew that once he hit a certain level of aggressive anger, it was truly game over, but Bradley was the same way - and heâd seemed to have pushed enough buttons to get her there without even realizing it. Letting out an automatic gasp of shock, Mercy almost went lax at her grip, used to the person on the other side being his father twisting and turning until Mercy gave in. Instead, snapping himself out of his momentary lapse of reality, he moved to tug his wrist out of her grip, before letting out an astonished scream - an odd howl of anger mixed with something of genuine shock, once she clamped her teeth around his finger and chomped. For a second, he really thought he was about to lose the digit, hand still clutching the bottle raised to hit if he really needed to, when she was finally relenting. Mercy didnât waste any time on formally assessing his injuries, brain kicking into overdrive the second he was free from her grasp, scoffing incredulously as she dumped a mix of his blood and her saliva at his feet, âFuck is wrong with you, cunt? Canât believe no oneâs put you down yet,â Mercy spat, thumbing the cap off the bottle of scotch with ease and putting on a show of dribbling some over the dripping teeth shaped cut on his finger, âMight need something purer to clean this off. What, you hungry or something? Daddy finally give up on your basic human needs?â There was a glint of something in Mercyâs eyes in the next second, straightening up with a scowl over his features and shaking the bottle around like it was a bag of treats meant to coax a pet forward, âMight need to wash your mouth out after such a mighty chomp! Here,â In the next moment, he jerked the bottle roughly once, pointed in Bradleyâs direction, and smirking when a large dollop of liquor hit her square in the face. The girls thatâd started whispering in panic earlier once Bradley bit at his finger let out audible gasps this time, hearing one of them let out an astounded oh my god, âon me.â
Oddly enough, the rancid taste on her tongue reminded her of home. Of Marco, flashing a bloody grin under the fluorescent strobes of No Angels, Nikita shuddering with her hand on her mouth at the corner of the stage in a schoolgirl uniform as the entire room fell silent. Of Bradley, staring at the chunk heâd bitten from Kevinâs cheek just because, apparently, heâd looked at him like he was keeping a secret. âIâm not gonna tell you shit, pussy! Not, not, not. Not shit! Fucking pussy!â He liked saying things in threes. Heâd rolled his punches the same way, knocking him out shortly after the first lunge. Bradley was the only one in a room of twenty plus to walk up to him and gently shake her head, putting a cork in the bottle of wine heâd mentally sloshed all over the carpet. With a waft of her hand and a hard swallow, she indicated that somebody should clean Kevin up as she took Marco into the back to wipe the red from his chin. Stuttering back to the present like sheâd had her head dunked underwater, legs scrabbling, before finally catching a gasp of oxygen, Bradley composed her flinch into consciousness as much as possible, knowing by now when to expect it. Somehow, she managed to just keep it to a faint jerk of the shoulders, eyes blinking up to watch Mercy as he cursed. âYeah, I know. Iâm pretty scandalous,â came out sounding like she was severely bored, forced to sit in a classroom sorting through algebraic fractions -- like she hadnât just chomped on his finger and spat the blood back out again. An average evening. Mundane, even. Sheâd been planning on continuing that way, playing the role of a cat bored with the mouse it had bat to death between itâs paws, when the mention of her father flashed something unreadable across her face. Her jaw set. Lips parted. She wouldâve given him an earful, a threat so despicable it stained the back of her throat with the taste of stomach acid, when the scotch splashed her face and forced her to stumble a step. Fingers instantly swiping her cheeks down, Bradley let out a laugh that was completely cold. The beginning rev of an engine before it went barrelling out of the driveway, tires screeching as the exhaust spluttered with the brakes cut. Flicking a few droplets off her hand at the carpet, sheâd been a millisecond away from stepping right into his face when a broad shouldered nobody appeared besides them, hands erected high like a lollipop warden commanding traffic to a standstill. âYo, what the fuck? Guys. Guy....â trailed off, quick swallow coming as he directed the latter towards Mercy. âCool it, alright? Cool it.â He traded a glance back at Bradley, apparently having only come in to witness the end of Mercyâs expletives, the scotch thrown back in her face. âYou good?â It took everything she had not to laugh at him. That was the thing, about being a girl. It made you easier to kick around, but it also made it easier to play the victim. âI donât know,â she exhaled, gaze shifting so that it could perfectly align with Mercyâs as she swept the damp from her jaw. She looked smaller, somehow, shoulders sagged and tendrils of hair sopping. âThis guyâs just fucking... crazy. Throwing shit, everywhere. I donât even know why.â When their companyâs face swiftly turned, eyes wide with disbelief, Bradley took the opportunity to make a jerking off notion behind his back, knowing full well how infuriating of a situation she was setting up for Mercy. It was like the stranger couldnât believe his ears. âAre you fucking for real, man?â

Max laughed, the kind of strained chuckle that only ever came when he felt too many emotions at once to properly articulate his words yet. âIâm not â Iâm not saying itâs just that, itâs just⌠Fuck, Brad. Itâs not like youâre with a real gentleman either,â he pointed out, shaking his head. âI mean, how can you even fucking judge my situation?â he asked. âNic and I are like â Weâre barely even seeing each other. We fuck sometimes, thatâs it,â he stated simply, digging in his pocket for his cigarettes. He needed nicotine, but he also needed to air something out. âThis is just ââŚâ trailing off for a moment, he held his cigarette between two fingers, trying to find his words. âThis is fucked, you know? Trying to be friends. Itâs fucked. We shouldnât have these⌠these super invested opinions in each otherâs relationships. It shouldnât fucking matter, but it does,â he urged, running a hand through his hair as he shook his head. âBut⌠Fuck, Brad. Billy?â he asked, chuckling in disbelief as he practically paced, unable to stand still after the shift heâd had and the adrenaline setting in. âBilly? After everything heâs done? Like⌠Fucking hell. What are you even doing?â he asked. âWe should care about each other. Thatâs true. But â I mean, youâre not really one to talk on the whole romantic front right now.â
The cherry of her cigarette glowed amber once sheâd finally got it lit, cheeks hollowing with the sheer force of her first drag. It was a wonder she didnât splutter, on such a heavy inhale, but instead she just huffed it right back out of her nose again, unwittingly channelling a fableâs most ferocious dragon. Her nostrils twinged, slightly, still sore from the excess sheâd snorted. It almost had her eyes glossing, in reflex, but she squinted them in response, furious at her body for even daring to have a reaction so close to the territory of tears. âWow, and off we go!â she exhaled, rolling her eyes elsewhere when her situation surfaced. She knew it was hypocritical, really -- glaringly so -- but sheâd never been the best at applying the same logic to her own relationships as she did to other peopleâs. The way she reasoned, with herself, was that it wasnât the same thing. Just because sheâd been raised in the hearth of the fire, it didnât mean anyone else had to be. And anyway, it wasnât the same. It wasnât the same. It. Wasnât. The. Same. The four words bounced off the walls of her skull like a vintage Microsoft screensaver, breath baited as she waited for it to slot just right into the top hand corner. It wasnât the same, because it was mattered, now. It mattered, when it was him. âDonât know why youâre being so dramatic, about it. Iâm handling the friendship thing fine,â she lied, pointedly avoiding meeting his gaze for the fact that they both knew it wasnât true. Scuffing the toe of her Dr. Marten over some gravel, she had another drag. After, she let out a scoff. âItâs not a romantic front. I donât give a shit about Billy, I just get bored, sometimes, and feel like fucking someone. Just so happens heâs there, half the time. That okay, with you? Can I get an all clear for the sake of cumming, when I feel like it? Please, sir, can you spare me this orgasm?â She knew it wasnât fair, the tone her voice had taken, sarcastic in the way that bit chunks out of anyone in its near vicinity, but she was past the point of control. If she stood still, stopped talking and gave in to sense, sheâd be hit with the reality of her feelings like a semi truck. She probably wouldnât even be able to stand up. âYou donât have to see him. If you did, youâd say something. And fucking... And he only talks to me like shit when I want him to. When I ask, because itâs fun. I know what Iâm doing,â she stated crispy, chin jut high like her father often did when he wanted to seem in control -- admitting to the fact she wasnât, the fact she never was, was too much for her brain to process. âGod, fucking... I just wanted to come and have a fucking drink, with--...â The âyouâ got swallowed whole, too proud to admit how much she wanted to see him. It might have made it too obvious, the fact that whenever she got scared, she always seemed to come running with her tail between her legs, desperate to go home. âCanât even do that, without World War Three breaking out. Canât even--... Jesus, canât even do fucking anything.â

Sitting down beside her friend at the bar, Alyssa watched as Bradley was denied the chance to order her drink, eyes drifting to the poster the bartender pointed at. Her hand came up to cover the laugh she let out when she saw Bradleyâs silhouette on it, shaking her head. Thatâs where she had gone the last time theyâd decided to come to this bar. She knew it wasnât just an innocent smoke outside. âClearly this all a plan from the app to get your bones brittle enough to overpower your throwing arm.â She leans onto the counter, crossed legs bouncing slightly as she watched the bartenderâs eyes roll, shoulder shrugging with a mock apologetic look on his face. âNot even one little drink? We came all this way, weâll even make amends if youâd like. Though, thatâs not my friend on the poster. Sheâs got a little fan that likes to run around in cosplay of her. Some real Single White Female shit.â She shakes her head, feigning sadness and worry. âWonât you have a heart and let my friend have a drink in this trying time?â
The bartender -- Russell, as sheâd overheard a coworker referring to him as on many occasions -- seemed to have a large appetite for a sweet smile. He turned to mush like a wax candle in the firing line of a blow torch, regretful expression rearing once he noticed the way Alyssaâs face furrowed. Bradley couldnât help but scoff under her breath, resisting the urge to fake a wretch. Sheâd never been able to maintain a delicate persona for long, far too sharp around the edges to ever be mistaken as soft. âPwease, sir. Iâm Benjamin Buttoning. Thirstier, in my old age.â He shot her an eye roll before looking back at Alyssa. âI mean...â he trailed off, letting out a reluctant sigh. His eyes flit further down the bar, checking whether his manager was around to catch a slip up. âIâll get in shit, if I... What can I get you?â came with a pointed lift of his eyebrows, wordlessly trying to convey that heâd let her order whatever Alyssa wanted, for the pair of them. âYouâll have to take the drinks to a table, though. Got CCTV up at the bar. If Ray catches her drinking shit, heâll have my neck.â Perching her chin on the stoop of her palm, Bradley studied him with a vaguely amused expression. âBy the neck? Zoo wee mama. Kinky. Is there a red room, in the back, or..?â Not even giving him a chance to speak once heâd opened his mouth, she straightened and slapped the counter-top. âOne of her drinks is gonna be... A vodka, I think. With ice. Slap a few cubes in there and Bobâs your uncle. Promise not lob one at your forehead, again. Scoutâs honour.â She gave a firm salute, face serious. He ignored her with a sigh. âAnd you...? Can I get a name, too, maybe?â At the shy beginning of a smile on his face, Bradley let out an exasperated âJesus...â below her breath. âYeah, because thatâs fucking likely.â
