♡ addilyn ♡

addilyn  was  born  quite  small.  she  was  almost  a  full  month  premature  and  spent  the  first  week  of  her  life  in  an  incubator.  while  she  may  have  been  tiny,  her  spirit  was  not.  her  cries  could  be  heard  throughout  the  hospital  wing  in  virgina,  and  she  only  stopped  when  her  mother  was  touching  her,  or  she  heard  her  voice.  the  nurse  claimed  that  it  meant  she  was  going  to  be  a  force  to  be  reconed  with.  

from  then  on  her  father  claimed  he  knew  she  was  going  to  be  a  mommy's  girl,  and  while  she  would  spend  most  of  her  childhood  trying  to  get  her  mother's  approval,  that  wouldn't  truly  be  the  case.  you  see,  her  mother  was  a  worker.  she  loved  being  at  the  office  more  than  she  liked  being  at  home  (  though  it  wasn't  until  she  was  in  middle  school  did  the  truth  about  her  secretary  come  out.  )

addilyn  just  wanted  her  mother's  love  and  attention,  but  all  she  really  ever  got  was  the  cold  shoulder.  her  father  was  home  often,  loving  his  child  more  than  life  itself,  and  while  the  young  girl  appreciate  it,  she  wanted  her  mother.  she  wanted  that  connection,  but  it  would  never  come.  

when  she  got  into  middle  school,  her  father  found  out  that  her  mother  was  cheating  on  him  with  her  secretary.  it  hit  him  hard,  and  he  packed  up  and  took  his  daughter  to  new  york.  he  got  a  loan  from  a  bank  and  opened  up  a  bakery.  that  was  where  addilyn  found  her  love  for  baking.  

it  was  partially  a  mix  between  the  fact  that  she  was  trying  to  distract  herself  from  being  uprooted  from  her  home,  and  the  fact  that  no  one  ever  wants  to  hang  out  with  the  new  kid.  it  was  a  better  coping  mechanism  than  her  father  had,  who  had  taken  to  drinking  most  nights.  

of  course  it  was  only  after  he  believed  addilyn  had  gone  to  sleep.  she  would  wake  most  nights  at  the  sound  of  his  crying,  and  by  morning  he  was  passed  out  on  the  couch.  she'd  clean  up  the  bottles,  and  place  a  blanket  over  him  all  before  heading  off  to  school.  

addilyn  would  help  her  father  at  the  bakery  most  days,  only  taking  off  sunday  to  hang  out  with  the  few  friends  she  had  and  skateboarding  around  the  city.  the  bakery  made  enough  money  that  they  lived  comfortably.  she  didn't  ask  for  much,  nor  wanted  much  either.  she  just  wanted  her  father  to  be  happy  again.  

around  tenth  grade  for  addilyn,  the  bakery  started  getting  a  little  busier,  and  her  father  deicded  to  put  up  a  help  wanted  sign.  that's  where  victoria  came  in.  she  applied  and  got  the  job,  causing  a  chain  of  events.  addilyn  admried  her,  and  after  a  few  months  her  father  started  acting  differently.  he  wasn't  drinking,  and  he  actually  started  laughing  more.  

when  addilyn  found  out  victoria  and  her  father  were  dating,  it  was  a  lot  to  take  in.  for  so  long  it  had  been  her  and  her  dad,  and  she  was  worried  that  something  would  go  wrong.  after  a  few  months,  she  warmed  up  to  the  idea  because  she  could  see  just  how  happy  her  father  was.  

her  senior  year  of  high  school,  her  father  married  victora,  and  addilyn  was  extatic.  when  she  graduated,  she  decided  to  go  to  college  to  get  a  business  degree,  so  one  day  she  could  run  the  bakery.  a  few  months  into  her  college  career  she  found  out  her  new  step  mother  was  pregnant.  addilyn  didn't  know  how  to  feel  at  first.  she  was  an  only  child  and  18  as  well.  but  once  her  little  sister  was  born,  addilyn  loved  her  more  than  life  herself.  

After  four  years,  addilyn  returned  home.  her  sister  was  only  about  three,  but  addilyn  found  herself  spending  time  with  her  often.  

her  sister  is  now  in  school,  she  has  her  own  apartment,  and  still  works  at  the  bakery  with  her  family.  

personality

addilyn  is  sweet  and  kind,  and  would  give  a  stranger  the  shirt  off  her  back.  however,  if  you  mess  with  anyone  she  loves,  she  turns  into  something  else.  she  will  completely  cut  ties  with  you,  and  do  her  best  to  make  sure  your  life  is  a  living  hell.  

wanted  connections

ride  or  die:  this  would  be  someone  she  met  when  she  first  got  to  new  york  and  started  school.  they  just  clicked  and  have  been  best  friends  since

bakery  patrons:  someone  who  probably  loves  the  bakery  and  they  have  a  cute  banter  back  and  forth.  

enemies:  they  probably  didn't  get  along  in  high  school  and  they  still  get  into  petty  arguments  all  the  time.
