maybe i'm too emotional.

going to keep this as an ongoing plotting call. so like this post if you want to plot.

thalia couldn’t even count how many times her dad had lectured her about setting the alarm before she went upstairs. especially with a serial killer on the loose, you would think she would remember to make sure the alarm was set. but no. here she was watching a rerun of catfish when she hears the obvious sound of her backdoor being shut. grabbing her phone thalia makes her way downstairs, dialling a 9 and a 1 on her phone just in case. she would have loved to have a knife, but of course they were in the place that the person who had just entered her house was. thalia inched closer to the kitchen more mad at the thought of her dad lecturing her because someone broke in, than scared that someone dangerous was probably in the house. peaking her head around the corner to see in the kitchen, she let out a huff. what was she doing here? rowan and thalia had been friendly at one point, but that felt like a lifetime ago. so what was rowan doing in her kitchen and was she covered in - blood? “i-seriously,” thalia asked rolling her eyes at the girl. “fine. just don’t get whatever it is all over you on anything my mom would flip. and i don’t want to know what happened cause i have a feeling it’s not something i want to be involved in.”

it had been a long, slow night with one single lone five year old and his single dad probably trying to make up for the fact that he only saw his kid once every few months. rae locked the door behind the two and grabbed her phone planning on playing some music as she finished the closing routine. rae made her way to the back trying to find rowan to see if she wanted to unload the ticket counting machines or stock the snack bar. “hey do you mind doing snacks tonight? if i have to handle that sus nacho cheese again i think i’m gonna,” rae stopped suddenly taking in the full sight in front of her. her gaze kept shifting from rowan, to the knife, to the de.ad body on the ground. she swallowed hard, rowan’s words bringing her out of her daze shaking her head. “i was just gonna put on spotify,” she said pointing to the phone which lit up on the music app. rae had a million questions running through her head and finally her brain seemed to decide on one. “to be fair, he was kind of a perv, so like was it at least justified?”

“okay i’m heading out. if you need anything text me, but like don’t need anything,” avery said with a smirk to her assistant manager. she tapped the bar playfully before heading out the door. avery made her way into her car, checking her reflection in the rearview mirror. she could see the smile reflected even in her eyes, knowing she was going to go see florence. she got to be savior tonight, florence’s parents having some sort of dinner party. avery had promised to keep her best friend company as soon as she had finished her shift. as she pulled into the driveway of her friend’s house, she found the brunette in the backyard with some guy looking beyond bored. her smile widening avery wrapped her arms around florence from behind intertwining their fingers naturally as she kissed her on the cheek. “sorry beautiful, got here as soon as possible. miss me,” avery mused kissing lightly on florence’s neck before pulling away slightly. “it seems like you are having lots of fun here without me,” she teased meeting the guys confused gaze. avery leaned in to florence’s ear, her hand moving to cup her ass. “i’ve wanted you so bad all day,” avery stated shifting so she could see her best friend’s response as if the guy wasn’t even there.

riley remembered the first time she had seen gavin play, she had been instantly intrigued by him. being riley, she had gone up to talk to him and soon the two were dating. the thing was, riley didn’t handle relationships well. she wouldn’t categorize herself as toxic, but a little drama was fun and who didn’t enjoy make up sex. the two had been off and on for so long riley had lost count of how many times the two had broken up. she lived for the chase after the break up, but this last time had seemed different. gavin had really seemed serious about being done - even though riley had been the one to say it first. so to see him at the party with another girl, who she had heard he was talking to, just made her jealousy spike even more. as soon the girl finally broke away from him, riley made eye contact with gavin before making her way over. she situated herself next to him, leaning close to him attempting to get some sort of rise out of him. “she’s cute, if you like that sort of thing. is that why you’ve been ignoring my texts?”

addison swallowed hard at his request. they two had been talking for over a month and addison had been hesitant to take things to far. not because she didn’t want to, but because she couldn’t shake the feeling that jake was hiding something from her. so when he had boldly asked for a little head, while also hinting that he had needs addison had given in more out of fear of losing him. as jake had moved to a stop light, addi had lifted her head, giving her mouth a break as she continued to stroke him. as she moved to sit up her eyes locked with the person outside of the car window. mavis. shit. mavis was her foster brother’s friend and despite the fact that she had aged out of the system addison had finally found a family that cared enough to still give her a roof over her head while she figured her life out. addison’s motions stop, completely frozen with the weight of the situation before her. jake’s complaints could barely be heard over the screaming in her head. “i can’t do this,” she finally mumbled to him, sitting back in the seat her mouth going dry. jake continued to berate how she was a tease and call her every thing under the sun. his words only penetrating enough for addison to contemplate what she had even seen in him. “can you just drop me off at the bowling alley? i have to handle something and then you can go do whatever you want to handle your little problem,” she snapped sounding so unlike herself even jake quieted. he dropped her off in front of the bowling alley and sped off without a word. addison approached the snack counter requesting for mavis. as the girl approached addison’s heart began to race again, she chewed her lip nervously at the comment, shaking her head before blurting out, “you can’t say anything to anyone. if parker or our parents find out i could lose everything. i have a reputation to maintain. listen i’ll do anything just please don’t say anything,” addison pleaded. 

noelle had never thought she would disobey her parents. she had lived her life being the obedient little girl at home and she had always assumed that she had been happy. it wasn’t until she was at university away from her parents that she realized she wasn’t happy, she was sheltered and controlled. she had finally begun to live her life for herself, only for her parents to say they were pulling her out of school and coming to take her back home. noelle wasn’t ready to give her new found freedom up. so instead of packing her bags to go back home, she packed what she deemed to be important and began walking. the problem was, she had zero clue were she was going. noelle had been lost in her own thoughts when the car had rolled up beside her making her jump slightly. “i’m not sure,” she let slip out and then instantly realized that wasn’t probably the best move. “i have a lot of choices, just trying to narrow them down,” noelle added hoping that was a quick save. her gaze followed his moving down to her shoes and she let out a little huff. “yeah well i didn’t realize how much walking this would entail,” she admitted letting her gaze move back up. this guy didn’t seem like a serial killer, not that she was an expert, but he was attractive at the very least. “so wanna give me a ride,” she asked leaning closer to his door.

nate wasn’t sure how he had let his professor talk him into this shit, but here he was. surrounded by a bunch of uptight people that nate knew could see right through his facade. this wasn’t his world and the longer he tried to pretend it was the more he felt like he was drowning. but when you are a new teacher’s assistant it’s not like you can decline in an invitation like this. realizing the couple in front of him were staring at him expectantly he realized there was an obvious question he had missed. running his fingers through his hair, putting on his most charming smile he nods towards the side doors. “i’m sorry, but um excuse me for a moment. i just remember the professor had asked me to handle a pressing matter,” he mumbled the last part knowing that this excuse sounded like just that, an excuse. he made his way outside taking a deep breath, before walking into the garden. he smelled the smoke and followed the scent approaching the young girl he barely knew, but was definitely intrigued by. “i like your dress,” nate muttered pulling out his own cigarette. he smirked at her response as he lit it, letting out a small laugh. “feisty. surprised, but intrigued. and i actually meant it,” he breathed giving a small head tilt. “not enjoying the party?” 

“you seem to be in a good mood today,” kayleigh responded her gaze moving to take in all of rae. “so you’re not taking my calls or text me back and now you don’t want me to come by anymore. so i’m gonna take a wild guess that you’re pissed about something. so are we gonna talk about whatever it is or you just gonna stay pissed,” kayleigh questioned popping a sour patch kid into her mouth amused.

“fine,” she muttered hearing the other’s voice panicking on the other end of the phone. “i’m coming, just calm down. just meet me behind the bar.” avery hit the end button, rushing passed the handful of patrons waiting for a drink. luckily she had two other bartenders scheduled that night. the cold air of the night hit her face, making a shiver pass through her body as her gaze fell on the other. “okay so i’m here. what’s the emergency,” avery questioned unable to hide the annoyance of being bothered at work.
