yara had her headphones on; she had been practicing in the little corners of her place designed for her to rehearse. yet she ended up getting distracted as she noticed pebbles being thrown to her window. "wren? what are you doing here?" she asked as she noticed and drew outside. "it's super late, you know that?"

" wren ? " the name falling from her lips with a scoff , " please i'm hotter and waaaay more fun than wren . " she grinned up at yara as she shrugged . " that doesn't answer my question babes , want to go for a drive ? i'm sure you could use the break . "

saiyr wasn't wrong and they knew that. indigo could either continue to make excuses or try to make things right between them. they decided on the latter. "i hear you, i do." they started with a sigh. "i've been fucking up. i can see that now. this is all new to me and lowkey, it scares me. what if we actually do this and i mess it all up? well, more than i seem to be doing already. i do want you and i'm sorry i haven't shown it better."

in this moment she knew that she had a decision to make . stay angry and defensive or try be calm and open . her first instinct is to shut down any sort of apology and storm out the door but she was trying to be different this time . if indigo could be honest than she could be too . " you're not the only one worried about fucking it up . " holding indigo's tattooed hand between her own mahogany fingers gently tracing the lines etched into the girl's skin , " how about this ... i will promise to be honest with you if you do the same . even if we're both scared about what'll happen next i think it'll be okay if we just like ... talk about it . "

it's good not to think about her own crap. listening and taking in the total stranger's words, but she furrowed her brows once the attention was shifted back to her. joyce decided to ignore his question. for now. "sounds like you've got a very bright daughter. how old is she, if you don't mind my asking?" she looks to him with a small smile. "and as for this date . . . do you at least know what she looks like?"

it wasn't lost on him that she didn't answer but he'd never been the type of man to push the limits . if she didn't want to say , he wouldn't ask again , " she's thirteen which still blows me away . " how he'd managed to keep a person alive for that long was beyond him but he was proud of his sprouting , " i have no idea , it's speed dating . " his eyes rolled at the thought of being trapped in a room with a bunch of desperate singles all vying for the one single doctor . " think i should cut my losses and skip it ? or give it a chance and go in ? "

a sigh escaped his lips as his eyes rolled heavenward, a touch of exasperation evident at her predictable quip. ❛well, it's pretty obvious.❜ he doesn't intent to be unkind, yet expressing the truth seems to carry the potential to evoke precisely that. ❛... and I overheard him with his mates joking about how you're just a distraction for him right now.❜

it stung more than she cared to admit to hear him say that . even if there was a part of her that always suspected her fling was short lived to think about him joking about her to his friends made her stomach churn . " he wouldn't do that . " she concluded , she had to , the alternative was too unthinkable . " besides it's fine . i was just about ready to break up with him anyways ... " lips curling inward eyes refusing to meet his .

“i’ve  had  enough  of  you  and  your  fucking  lies.”  the  truth  is  she’s  stayed  here  far  too  long.  much  longer  than  she  should  have.  perhaps  she’s  more  deserving  of  blame  when  she’s  brought  this  upon  herself  for  thinking  that  he  could  change.  “just  friends,  just  like  you  and  jessica?”  her  lips  twist  into  a  lightless  smile.  she  takes  a  step  closer,  a finger  pointing  at  his  chest.  “i  need  you  to  fucking  stay  away  from  me.  i  don’t  want  to  see  your  face  ever  again.”

auggie let out a loud sigh as she berated him . on the one hand he did have strong feelings for her , enough that he tried his best to cover his misdeeds to spare her feelings , but he'd never seen himself as the type of person that was faithful . never gotten the point of giving everything to one person , life is long after all and spending it day in and day out with anyone even june felt daunting and limiting . " oh my god , how many times are you going to bring up jessica ? i'm sorry bug . i fucked up but i didn't this time . " he did his best to stop his eyes from rolling as she told him to stay away . "no , i'm not going . i'm not going to give up on us ."

“you  don’t  look  so  fine,  sweetheart.”  jongin  coos  teasingly,  his  tone  fraught  with  amusement.  “didn’t  catch  a  fever,  did  you?”  the  rosy  hue  that’s  climbed  to  her  cheeks  looks  something  less  than  fine  and  he’d  love  nothing  more  than  to  fluster  her  more.  “well,  if  you’re  already  over  it,  i’d  be  on  my  way.” 

" shut up stupid . " she sputtered pressing her cool palms to her warm cheeks while shooting him a glare . " wha - don't leave . " annoyed glare quickly replaced with a pout . " i gave you permission to talk to the ugly girl . what more do you want from me ? i'm not a good wing woman . "

❛but what?❜ a sigh punctuated the air as she held his gaze for a fleeting moment. then, with a deliberate pivot, her eyes moved away to concentrate elsewhere. a habit she could not break. ❛I feel like it's something i should worry about.❜

he's never sure of how honest to be . for the most part , auggie is extremely self aware , he knows that he's abrasive and rude . that more often than not he'd step on the neck of his best friend to get to the top but he's also aware that those aren't attractive qualities to others so he tailored his reply . " but i can't help that i am annoying to certain people . i get it ; i'm loud , talkative , i think i'm the most fascinating person in the room because most of the time i am . not everyone likes confident people . " he shrugged , " why ? what does the opinions of others have to do with us ? why would it make you worry ? "

lauren's eyes widened in disbelief as the words hung in the air, her heart pounding in sync with the painful truth that echoed through the crowded grocery store. the sight of her ex, unexpected and haunting, had torn open wounds she thought had healed. "stop it," she hissed, her voice a desperate plea masked by frustration. her hands trembled, clenching and unclenching at her sides as if trying to grasp onto some semblance of control. "you can't just show up like this, saying things that should have been said a lifetime ago." the weight of the unspoken years lingered between them, a heavy fog obscuring the clarity of the present. her gaze flickered around nervously, aware of the curious glances from nearby shoppers who had become unwitting spectators to her unraveling emotions. "you loved me?" she shot back, her voice breaking on the words. "you don't get to waltz back in here and drop that bomb on me, not after everything. i moved on, or at least, i tried to." the pain in her chest was tangible, a visceral reminder of the vulnerability she thought she'd overcome. the ache of old wounds being pried open cut through her, and she fought against the urge to let the tears spill.

" no ! " she bellowed , " i won't stop it . why are you back ? " repeating her question with more force this time . she'd long ago gotten used to being a spectacle . one of the few queer kids in her town drew was used to stares , whispers in the dark and questions about her life filled in with ugly small town gossip . at least for once they'd actually have something factual to say . " lauren ... " the name a scalpel carefully ripping open every single wound she'd carefully stitched together . " i - i know that i wasn't a perfect girlfriend , " in fact she'd been petty , selfish , forgetful and all around careless with the other's heart , " but you were the only person that i have ever loved . " it wasn't until she'd said the words that it dawned on her that she'd never loved anyone else . holy shit . " i would have done anything for you and i - i don't understand why you're here . a-are you moving back ? "

noelle chuckled lightly, her hands lacing together behind her back. " don't be sorry, " she glanced over at noah's sister thoughtfully then back at her. " you sure she wouldn't mind?? " because although she wanted to be alone with the other girl, she wouldn't be able to help but feel a little bit like a jerk for making her sister leave.

" yeah i'm positive . i had to beg her to come along in the first place , give me like two seconds . " darting over to drew to tell her to leave , her sister shot her a knowing grin before nodding, ' don't do anything i wouldn't do ' she tossed over her shoulder as she walked away . " that leaves literally the entire world at my feet . " noah yelled back before returning her attention to noelle , " see ? easy . "

“ah,  that  explains  a  few  things.”  jongin  hums  with  a  slow  nod,  amusement  flickering  in  his  eyes.  “thought  we’d  agreed  that  it’s  better  if  we  keep  things  professional.  have  you  changed  your  mind already?”

" no . " she squeaked but it'd all sounded so much easier in her head . " it's fine , i'm fine . i just ... " her face warmed as embarrassment seeped through her . " i got jealous for a second but it's fine because i'm already over it and - " coughing before forcing herself to finish the sentence . " if you want to go talk to her i won't get in the way again . "

“oh,  i’m  almost  done.”  jia  hasn’t  expected  the  woman  accompanying  her  friend  to  suddenly  want  to  have  a  tattoo  of  her  own,  but  it’s  not  the  first  time  she  saw  it  happen  either.  she  looks  up  for  a  moment,  as  her  hand  reaches  for  the  cleaning  solution.  “do  you  have  an  idea  of  the  kind  of  tattoos  you  want?”

she'd never considered getting a tattoo before but she didn't want to leave before she'd gathered up the courage to ask jia for her number so she tried to think quick on her feet . " well i'm a marine biologist and i focus on shark conversation so maybe a cute little hammer head or a whale shark , they're my favorite . i'm pretty open to the style as long as the shark itself is recognizable .
