he hears her words and sees as she hands her card to the bartender and the number of shots cause green eyes to gape open but regardless he just lets a chuckle to escape from his lips ❝ tye dye my scrubs ? ❞ he found the thought of it funny but he stopped laughing knowing damn well that she would do it . ❝ god you’re are going to make me regret this tomorrow morning . ❞ he sees the bartender out four glasses on front of each of them and he turns to look at her ❝ all the way down . ❞ he grabs a shot and they both begin to throw them back, slamming the last glass down he chases it down with a beer

he lets a small chuckle escape his lips as he looks at the femme in front of him ❝  no I haven’t actually . my phone died and I forgot my charger at the office . ❞ he lets a light shrug move his shoulders and he turns to look at her as she says that beer is boring . ❝  what can I say I am a very simple man . ❞ he murmurs as he looks at her ❝ yeah but if I get called back I can’t be hammered . ❞ he knew that he wasn’t going to get called in, he left someone else in charge because this was a thing he did with his mother , it was a tradition and it would suck if he wasn’t here . this bonfire meant so much to him. ❝  alright fine. ❞ he says after throwing the rest of the beer in the trash can ❝  pick you poison . ❞

jade had recently bought roller skates and she thought it would be the perfect time to practice her skills. She had recently been skating to work, to the corner store, anywhere, and had grown confident in them. As she made her way to the carnival, she let the music run through her headphones and breeze tousle her curls more. Skating up to the figure, she tapped his shoulder and smiled, “Nice to see you, too, Julian,” she said and slid into the bench across from him. “What are you drinking?” She asked, peaking into his cup. 

he looks at the femme and grabs her as she skates to him . ❝  you out if everyone is going to come with skates —— cute . ❞ he muses to her as he takes another sip from his cup and hands it to her. they share everything, well mostly her stealing his food . ❝  beer and if you’re going to drink it all I’m going to need a re fill . ❞ he tells her before she hands him back an empty cup . 

Carmen spotted the familiar stature and stomped up to him, turning him around and raising her hands in the air. “You’re lucky I didn’t physically go find you because I was knee-deep in clients this week, you asshole!” She said, grabbing his arm and pulling him away from all the noise. “What are we going to do about that mouth, huh? You don’t know how to keep your own business to yourself?” She badgered him. 

he knew that she was upset, of course she was going to be upset that he had told antonio about luca ❝  listen ——- I didn’t even know that I was telling until he said that he was just going to go to your house and demand you tell him . ❞ he knew that the relationship that antonio and carmen had was somewhat toxic. ❝  i mean come on let’s just be realistic for two seconds carmen. do you honestly believe that he is not going to go back into that life . I live antonio like a brother and I accept him for who he is but can you ? can you sit there and not judge him ? have you told him about tejay yet ? ❞

“are you, like, always trynna run me down?” she asks, an unimpressed smile on her lips. stacy can be a mean drunk sometimes, especially once she’s deep into her night of drinking. “the hospital? is that supposed to, like, mean something?” it takes a moment for her drunken brain to catch on, and when it does she shakes her head. “i didn’t end up going by, my arm was totes fine, just like i said. look, good as new,” she shows off her arm which is no longer bruised.

❝  i rey my best not to. ❞ he answers back and it’s like a power to him. he knows that she is tipsy , a small smile portrays on his brims as he looks at the femme. ❝  well, I am the chief of the hospital and I was hoping that you would go and get a check up . ❞ he confesses. looking down at her arm he nods his head and sees that the bruise is completely healed . he wasn’t sure that his diagnoses was correct but he didn’t want her to go without a full general check up. ❝  well, whenever you want and have time I would really like it if you went . ❞ he shrugged his shoulders pouting two shots and handing one to her ❝  bottoms up . ❞

Sonny wasn’t usually one to run at night, but he was stressed and needed to clear his mind. It was usually easy to slip away from his roommate during the evening hours, so that was exactly what he did. As he ran, his curls bounced and got in his face which, admittedly, annoyed the shit out of him, which caused him to stop and pull his hair back in a ponytail. When he stopped, standing in the middle of the path, he felt someone run directly into him, and very nearly stumbled backwards until his arm was grabbed. “Shit.” He took a moment to steady himself, mostly shocked by the sudden collision. “Fuck - yeah. I’m good, yeah,” He paused, looking himself over before lifting his gaze to meet the other man’s, nodding his head. “Are you?”

he shakes his head as he looks at the male before him ❝ sorry about that i wasn’t even looking where i was going, man. ❞ in his mind there was so many things running through , between the hospital and the budgets to carmen coming at him about the whole antonio thing. to antonio himself making him swear that he wouldn’t say anything about him his condition. ❝ yeah man i am fine.  ❞ he reassured the other as he takes out one of his air pods so the music does a full stop. ❝ im julian, sorry about almost knocking you on your ass.  ❞

usually when chuck leaves her van for a quick trip to the wild she doesn’t expect to be hit by a jogger on the way back. who even jogs this late? chuck is pretty sure even olympic athletes look at the clock and go hmm, maybe not. she’s two seconds from grabbing her flip knife for defence before her eyes fall on the other and hear the question. “well- if i say no will you nurse me back to health?”

everything is happening so fast that she doesn’t know quite what to say. he checks her arm, and the mention of the hospital leaves her a bit confused. “i mean, i can come down to the hospital, dude, but i don’t know why i would need to.” it’s true that stacy is easy to bruise. even in the water, after a day of surfing, she might have a few little purple spots across her body. “are you gonna, like, be the one to pay for the visit?” she giggles, checking her arm herself. it’s just a little red from where the two had bumped into one another.

he could see the bruising and there was only one true meaning ; an iron deficiency but he would think about it too much until he got the right test and hoping she would say that she would.  ❝ well because usually when you bruise this easily is because you need to get some labs done .  ❞ he says as he looks at the femme before him letting go of her arms and her next set of words cause a chuckle to escape his lips as he looks at the brunette. ❝ well i am the chief of surgery at the hospital so i do think we can work something out .  ❞

She squinted her eyes at the male as he claimed to make up for her gram she had just lost, but lo and behold, he did. She couldn’t help but grin as he passed over his pen. Was it safe to accept just any man’s carts? No. Did he look like he bought these off the black market and they were secretly laced? She didn’t know, she just hoped for the best, she had nothing to lose. Putting the pen to her mouth and inhaling deeply, she felt relief go down her spine and she exhaled. “You are a lifesaver,” she said to him, watching her smoke blow away. 

❝ lifesaver huh ?  ❞ he says as he shakes his head and watches her as she takes them puffs. he was happy it was night time and there were no prying eyes . what would people say , the chief of surgery smoking with a random person. ❝ i’m sorry i bumped into you by the way.  ❞ he extends his hand out to her ❝  im julian mikaleson. ❞

She looked at him, surprised when he said his name so confidently. Was Carmen the only one who didn’t know? She lifted herself off the ground and she shook her head, bringing her hand to her temples and letting out a long breath. “Dude, I threw up! I panicked!” She admitted, looking at her childhood friend. “I feel like shit. I’m his new lawyer, Julian,” Carmen spat out with an unimpressed tone. 

he knows that he probably should have told her about tonio returning but it wasn’t his position. he was both of their friends and he didn’t even think he could take sides when it would come to them . ❝  well, what are you going to do ? ❞ he asks as he helps her stand up and he sits beside her ❝ look this is me talking as your best friend who loves you . if you don’t see him in your life then let him go car, because it’s not fair to you or to him . ❞

Jade had been getting into the unhealthy routine of slipping out the backdoor when Carter had been having rough nights. She had been getting used to her new routine but her best friend’s baby made it a little tough when she wanted to relieve her needs with a little THC. She was sparking up a joint when she got hit from the back, dropping her rolled perfection into a puddle. She gasped, looking down and groaned. “Yeah, I’m fine. My friend– not so much,” Jade said, watching the joint soak into the water.

he notices her annoyance and he can’t help but let a small chuckle escape his lips as he looks at the femme and then at the floor where   her blunt was sinking into the puddle of water ❝ I am sorry about that maybe I can make it up to you .  ❞ he says as he takes out his own from his pocket and changed the tip cleaning it and handing it to her ❝ here on me . my bad . ❞ he says handing her the pen so that she can take a few puffs from the pen. 

tejay had been sitting with his grandmother in the waiting room chairs, his leg jiggling up and down rhythmically as he waited for the results. for a while, he noticed his grandmother forgetting small things (leaving the burner on their stove running, calling a phone number of a friend who had passed years before), but her feisty personality had slowly calmed down. she was more tranquil than tejay had ever seen her before in his lifetime. supposedly, dementia had run in her side of the family, but she was so old at this point it was hard to check. he knew that the signs were there, he just didn’t want to believe them. he stood as julian came into the waiting room, and listened closely to the words that fell from his lips. tejay stumbled back, pushing julian’s hand away. “no, no… run the goddamn tests again. that can’t be- it’s wrong. she’s just getting older.” he mussed up his nicely combed hair, looking back at his grandmother sitting quietly in her chair. it took a lot for tejay to get to the point of cursing, and here he was ready to scream out every cuss in the books. “she’s just getting old,” he repeated to himself. she had taken the role of his parent when his biological parents had passed away so many years ago. it seemed impossible for her to die with dementia, especially when she had been so full of life all these years.

the day that you tell someone horrible news about their loved ones is the day that everything goes to shit. he remembers hearing about his father and then shortly his whole world cake crashing down and then his mother’s news , this isn’t something that you tell people with such ease . you have to be there for them and tell them that things like this happens and sadly this is happening to the male in front of him. he hears his words and he tries his best to help him keep his composure ❝ tejay we’ve run the test multiple times . you think that with my history I wouldn’t want this not to be true . ❞ he knows how hard this must be for him but he can’t help but try to get him to understand that this isn’t something that he can just ignore and she needs to start being taken care of . ❝ listen to me . I don’t want this to be anymore real than you but I need you to relax alright . her dementia is going to get the best of her and she is going to start to become not only a danger to herself but the people around her . I need you to come to the realization that this isn’t something we can change . ❞ he steps even closer to him and places his hand on his shoulder once again ❝ I’m sorry . Tejay but this is the facts and it’s happening and you need to get her help before it’s too late . ❞
