“  all  we  have  to  do  is  pick  out  our  pumpkins  and  then  we  head  over  there  to  carve  them  !  ”  excitement  is  evident  in  the  beaming  smiling  she  offers  ,  jolee  feeling  particularly  festive  this  year  thanks  to  the  company  of  the  other.  “  i’m  not  that  good  at  it  but  we  get  to  bring  them  home  when  we’re  done  ,  so  …  i  may  have  you  carving  two  pumpkins  actually.  ”

              he  had  called  the  newly  hired  employee  to  minuscule  office  of  his  ,  and  it  wasn't  fancy  by  any  means  :  not  like  he  was  a  blue  collared  business  man  who  dressed  in  suits  and  took  business  calls  all  day  .  his  private  chamber  consisted  of  a  music  mix  station  ,  and  two  chairs  that  were  separated  by  a  table  covered  with  magazines  ,  and  articles  about  artists  who  he  had  made  music  for  .  clearing  throat  ,  head  will  lower  before  he's  starting  off  his  chain  of  command  .    "    look  ,  i  know  this  job  is  only  temporary  .  but  it's  still  a  job  ,  and  i  hired  you  because  i  believed  you  could  do  the  job  .  to  my  standards  .  and  it's  just  not  .  i  know  you  can  do  better  than  this  ,  so  why  are  you  not  putting  all  of  your  hard  work  into  it  ?  --  --  would  be  a  sure  shame  if  i  had  to  fire  you  before  your  career  could  even  get  started  .    "    words  seemingly  threatening  ,  yet  he  had  always  taken  pride  in  his  passion  and  him  thriving  for  greatness  in  all  aspects  .  

"i'm too old for this," he sighed.

“ i just don’t fucking get this, ”  his voice raises slightly, arms dramatically thrown in the air hoping theatrics will accentuate his annoyance, “ i literally give you everything you want, try to be the best boyfriend i can be and then you just... god, you take it all for granted! ” james has had enough, words now flowing out of his mouth without even thinking about sharpness or repercussion. “ do you know how many people i have flocking like birds behind me? i could have anyone i wanted, yet i decided to finally commit for once in my life because i love you and this is what i get in return!? ”

liquid courage took marla places she’d never go to sober, so when tequila helped her out talking to her best friend’s hot sibling she’s had a crush on for years she wasn’t at all against the idea of ending her night with them. so she did, and it was blurrier than expected but freeing nonetheless. a night turned into many and many turned into a secret constant hookup her best friend should never know about. “ we’re screwed if she ever finds out, ” marla says one night as they lay side by side in her bed, tangled in white sheets and basking in moonlight. the mere thought of her finding out terrified her and even made her wonder why she was even here in the first place.

“  you  sure  you  know  what  you’re  doin  here  ?  this  looks  like  something  you  get  cheap  off  amazon  or  something.  ”  the  boy  comments  ,  twirling  the  wooden  ouiji  board  atop  the  table.  bold  assumption  from  someone  who  has  never  actually  seen  one  in  real  life  before.  “  when  i  said  we  should  do  a  séance  ,  i  meant  a  real  one.  like  at  a  haunted  location  or  something.  ”
