Im not shy, Ill say it

Fern had always been a free spirit. Growing up in Miami with a very political family she felt the spotlight from the young age, everyone watching her every move and it was something that she usually did not care about, but she wanted to not disappoint her mother. Fern went to college to try and get away from the eyes always being on her. She tried not to care, but fern is always worried about appearance, it was engrained in her. She has not had the easiest childhood but she and he mom were like best friends. Studying psychology Fern tries to be a good student, but the temptation of partying is too much and she never likes to miss out on a good time. She is short tempered and will tell you what is on her mind and can be a bit brooding, but she is normally a kind hearted soul who you could trust with your life if you become friends with her. She is a 22 year old who loves the beach, and playing beach volleyball. She loves to read but would never tell anyone that. She is still trying to find herself.

“  oh  thanks  ,  ”  her  sarcasm  flowing  through  her  words  as  the  conversation  switched  towards  madelyn. “  if  it  happens  ,  it  happens  ,  this  weekends  about  hallie  ,  not  about  me  getting  to  make  out  with  someone. ”  she  had  a  few  ideas  in  mind  ,  but  none  that  she  was  about  to  spill  to  the  other  ,  “  possibly  ,  but  we’ll  just  see  what  happens. we’re  not  about  to  whore  me  out  and  make  a  sign  or  whatever. ”

Fern chuckled, as she nodded “true true,I think it has been a good birthday weekend yeah? Not too much drama. do you think she will be making out with someone?” she asked raising a brow. she was curious and sometimes she felt like it was hard to keep up “oh come on you mean you don’t wanna do like a kissing booth?? Maddy kisses $1,000″ she chuckled just at the thought. 

 “  oh  right  ,  well  ,  i’ll  try  my  best. “  madelyn  knew  that  if  fern  was  about  to  do  something  ,  she  was  going  to  do  it  ,  regardless  of  what  she  said  or  tried. every  girl  night  they  planned  where  she  mysteriously  disappeared  was  proof  of  that.

Fern nodded with a small smile knowing that this same convo probably has happened before and didn’t end in great results “Anyway, we need to get you making out with someone this weekend I think, lets focus on that instead yes” she chuckled “Any ideas?”

laughter  spilled  out  from  her  ,  “  you  want  an  outdoor  rave  ?  no  ,  because  then  i’m  stuck  with  people  and  in  water  ,  it  would  be  way  too  much. wait-  who  do  you  want  to  be  distracted  from  ?  why  don’t  i  know  this  ?  i  got  you  ,  just  tell  me  who. ”

Fern pressed her lips to the side “You do know this. I think?” she laughed “the one I always can stay away from “ she rolled her eyes with a sigh “You know Eli..” she couldn’t help but slightly smile the mention “please, ah ” she begged smiling.

he  accepts  the  joint  with  his  off  hand,  holding  it  between  his  fingers  as  he  uses  the  other  to  twirl  her  around.  he  could  be  smooth  when  he  tried  to  be,  thank  you  very  much.  “  we  might  get  a  little  bit  lost.  ”    he  admits,  arm  settling  around  her  shoulder.  “  i  never  said  i  was  a  good  boy  scout.  i  just  started  a  lot  of  fires  and  tried  to  snipe  people  with  rocks.  ”

The blonde twirled happily with a grin on her face and a small giggle escaping her lips, her hand staying locked with his as it landed on her shoulder and she looked up at him as they walked “Well then at least I am lost with a boy scout” she chuckled “but if you burn down the woods, I was never with you” she teased the stupid grin never leaving her face “You sniped people with rocks?? Elias now I know you able to protect me too” she laughed 

he  can’t  help  but  laugh  at  her  words,  almost  mocking  himself  by  taking  a  bow.  him  ?    a  hero  ?    hardly.        “  if  we  don’t  get  lost  ?  ”    tone  is  thick  with  feigned  offence,  exaggerated  gasp  leaving  his  lips  as  he  brings  a  hand  up  to  his  chest.        “    have  some  faith  in  your  hero’s  navigation  skills,  fernie.  i  was  a  boy  scout,  you  know.    ”      he  says  playfully,  turning  to  face  her  properly.  

She smiled softly shaking her head at the taller guy “My apologies , I did not know I was in the presence of a boyscout” she teased laughed raising her brows moved her hand towards the trail “lead the way” she giggled taking a hit before handing back the joint. “I guess there are worse fates imaginable, but my fate is in your hands” she mused as they started to walk.

“  without  you  ?  i  would  never.  i  just  figured  you’d  be  busy  with  all  of  …  this.  ”    he  says,  gesturing  vaguely  towards  the  not  -  cabin.  there’s  plenty  of  things  for  everyone  to  do  without  ever  setting  a  foot  outside  the  place,  and  elias  can’t  think  of  very  many  who  would  venture  out.  finally  fishing  the  elusive  joint  out  of  his  pocket,  he  lights  it  as  he  listens  to  her  speak.  he  raises  an  eyebrow  at  her  last  question,  curiosity  piqued.  “  we  could. ”  he  says  slowly,  taking  a  drag  before  holding  the  joint  out  to  her.  “  what  would  this  adventure  entail  ?  ”  

Fern smiled hearing him say that and she shook her head “please, I need you to save me from all this” she stated moving her hand to gesture around the cabin knowing good and well the insane festivities that would follow every night. “My hero” she nodded taking the joint and putting it between her lips “um, well i was just going to wing it? probably end up by the lake honestly, that is if we dont get lost” she mused nudging him softly with a grin.

    ━━   her  words  caused  a  laugh  to  fall  from  his  lips  as  he  jumped  down  to  sit  beside  her .  ❝  of  course  i  can  live  up  to  them ,  do  you  know  nothing  about  me  at  all  ? ❞  he  replied ,  half  joking  half  serious .  ❝ so ,  you  having  fun  then ? ❞

Glancing over at roman she let the laugh escape as she nudged him gently “Oh i am not sure I know enough, we will see” she teased with a grin “So far yes, though I have a feeling tonight is going to be...interesting” She shrugged not sure what to expect.

eli  knew  there  was  a  good  chance  he  would  run  into  fern  at  the  cabin  ,  but  he  thinks  that’s  a  part  of  the  reason  why  he  showed  .  both  of  them  ending  up  at  oakmore  was  already  a  work  of  divine  intervention  in  itself  ,  so  he  feels  like  he  should  be  making  the  most  of  it  .  even  if  that  means  poisoning  fern’s  life  with  all  the  toxic  parts  of  his  own  .  “  aw  ,  were  you  waiting  on  me  to  show  up  ?  ”  eli  smiles  as  he  adjusts  his  hood  .  “  next  time  ,  just  say  that  you  miss  me  ,  baby  ,  ”  he  says  ,  leaning  back  in  the  chair  as  he  watches  fern  sift  around  inside  the  cooler  for  something  to  drink  .  “  do  i  want  anything  ?  ”  he  repeats  with  a  quirk  of  his  brow  .  “  oh  ,  i  want  a  lot  of  things  .  what  exactly  are  you  offering  ?  to  serve  me  a  drink  ,  or  just  whatever  i  want  ?  you  gotta  be  more  specific  with  me  .  ”

The blonde knew interactin with him was a dangerous game that she honestly loved playing, ever since they met in Miami she knew he was trouble but that is why he was intoxicating for her and they couldn’t stay away from each other for long. Until it blew up in one way or another “Please, do shut up baby” she spoke in a mocking tone her head moving from side to side, she knew the answer to his next question is she was probably offering whatever he wanted but she would not say that. she grabbed two drinks and walked over tossing one at him, “well you took too long to answer so you get what you get. But if you need anything else, you may put in a request and I will consider it” she made a face at him before sitting across from him “really? I am surprised you aren’t held up in someone elses bed anyway..” she mumbled biting her lip as she let her eyes wander over him, she hated how she couldn’t stay away

“  i  loved  high  school  ,  ”  with  a  shrug  ,  “  this  is  too  intense  for  me. ”  madelyn  fell  asleep  halfway  through  the  night. sure  ,  she  didn’t  see  much  drama  ,  but  she  could  just  tell  with  the  vibe  in  the  house  that  it  wasn’t  exactly  the  best  night  for  everyone. “  right  ?  i  would  love  that. how  ?  what  do  you  want  to  do  tonight  ?  ”

“ Me too, but it had its cringy moments” she laughed thinking back and nodded “everyone here is very intense..” she laughed softly before her hand moved to rub the side of her face “I mean it isn’t like we can go clubbing, unless we turn the pool area to an outdoor rave type thing” she laughed softly “As long as I am distracted from people I do not wanna be close to:

 ━━  a  smile  played  on  presley’s  lips  as  fern  agreed  to  get  some  drinks  with  her  &  she  pressed  a  kiss  to  her  cheek  before  linking  her  arm  through  fern’s .  ❝ ooh ,  i  knew  i  could  count  on  you . ❞  she  beamed  as  she  headed  towards  their  favourite  bar .  ❝ oh  god ,  i know .  i  am  fully  expecting  a  fight  to  break  out . ❞

Fern let the grin play on her cheeks leaning into her as they linked arms and squeezed her arm affectionately “ Oh always and forever Pressy” she giggled softly following along side “Please, as long as it isn’t me I am here to witness that” she laughed shaking her head “Who do you think it will be???”

𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐧​:

“  it’s  like  ,  worse  than  high  school  at  some  points  though. ”  she  already  got  attacked  for  making  a  joke  that  morning  ,  it  was  too  much. god  forbid  she  made  a  joke  while  eating  breakfast  ,  she  needed  a  break  from  this  weekend  getaway  already. “  right  ?  let’s  go  ,  let’s  go  to  the  furthest  part  of  the  lake. ”

“worse than high school? that is so sad” she laughed softly but knowing it was partially true, after last night Fern felt a little lost though she was a bit too messed up to pay attention to everything. “perfect, hide away from everyone for a moment” she nodded and nudged her smiling “you think we can cause some more fun tonight?”

_______________________________

Fern had just finished getting high with her usual choice of poison, so her head was starting to spin a bit and deciding to walk outside to get some fresh air, and find a spot to roll in peace a bit. Though after she opened the door part of her wished she would have stayed in her room. She slid her sun glasses on quickly as she walked past Elija a small scoff escaping her lips “Well, look who finally decided to show up and grace us with his presence.” she said a bit more sarcastic then intended. Fern looked over at him with a quick glance before she ran her hand through her hair to move it behind her shoulders and opened the mini cooler outside and grabbed a cold beverage and sighed “Do you want anything?” she asked deciding to try and be polite since deep down she did care for Elija glancing at him impatient for an answer.

      “  nothing  in  particular,  ”  she  dropped  her  gaze  down  to  watch  the  blonde.  not  in  a  maternal  way,  god  no.  fuck  that.  just  a  casual  glance  as  she  took  a  much  needed  breath,  smoking  filling  up  her  lungs  before  she  exhaled.  fingers  curled  into  the  palm  of  her  hand  as  she  brought  a  fist  up  to  her  lips,  suppressing  a  cough  …  fuck  she  hadn’t  coughed  in  a  minute,  took  her  by  surprise.  “  no  drama  rule  remember.  just  vibes,  y’know  ?  all  holdin’  hands  around  a  fire,  singing  kumbaya  or  some  shit.  maybe  set  a  few  marshmallows  on  fire.  ”  she  teased.

Fern nodded resting back against the wall she was near and grinned at her “Hmm, well I mean hopefully it isn’t boring”  she said, though she knew two things for sure, this group was never boring and there was always drama. “Oh no, not burning marshmallows. I don’t know if I can handle that chaos” she laughed softly “Thats the real question, do you like burnt smore marshmallows or the golden brown ones? Like is the patients worth it?” She asked raising her brow
