          ❛ i don't have time to deal with your shit right now — i'm a little busy, if you can’t tell. ❜

“     ivyyyyy,  i  just  got  the  call  …  you’re  gonna  be  on  the  rolling  stone  cover  next  month!  can  you  believe  it?  i  can,  our  campaign  has  been  doing  so  good.  product  is  practically  flying  off  the  shelves.  you’re  a  hot  commodity  right  now,  babes.     ”     speech  is  slurred,  the  wine  she’s  had  definitely  adding  on  to  the  excitement  currently  felt.  glances  over  at  the  analogue  clock  on  her  desk  and  realizes  it’s  late  and  a  tuesday  night.  maybe  she  should  cut  back  on  the  drinking.     “     sorry  for  reaching  out  so  late,  kinda  lost  track  of  time…  i’m  two  bottles  of  wine  in,  holy  fuck.  anyways,  i’ll  catch  up  with  you  tomorrow.  we  have  lunch  plans,  don’t  forget!  goodnight  sweet  girl.     ”

AND ONCE MORE, SIDNEY FINDS her psyche clinging onto ash's infectious energy, this time his laughter. it makes her feel as though the world isn't ending anymore, the noise breaking through the tense air of her room. it's her turn this time, mahogany gaze moving down as shoulders shake in a quiet laugh. " if scarjo did shitty horror flicks, yeah. i could picture that. " the question of ash's role in the movie makes her head spin. if he didn't know her, he wouldn't have been part of this in the first place. but she'll push through those feelings, knowing there's no use in dwelling on things that are already unfixable. " well, if the shoe fits.. i think noah centineo would be a great pick. " sidney teases, sneaking a glance to the other, only to find him already looking. shoulders slack, shaking her head. " i'm never sure of anything anymore, ash. but i'm gonna try my best to be. "

        "    were  you  looking  for  this  ?    "

              ‘‘  HI  THERE.  ’’  THEY  TILT  THEIR  head  a  little  ,  watching  the  other’s  dazed  expression  spread  across  their  features.  do  they  remember  ?  they  only  tried  to  scare  them  a  little  ,   so  they  wouldn’t  run  away  again.  so  what’s  with  the  confused  gaze  ?  jiho  shoots  them  a  friendly  smile  ,  dimples  appearing.  ‘‘  are  you  okay  ?  ’’

max  was  surprised,  to  say  the  least,  once  he  saw  sabine  out  of  all  people  at  the  party.  even  did  a  double  take  upon  her  entrance.  things  between  them  have  been  stale  since  their  breakup,  which  he’d  been  completely  opposed  to  but  eventually  gave  in  for  her  sake.  wouldn’t  admit  it,  but  he  actually  misses  her.  didn’t  expect  to,  was  willing  to  continue  on  living  his  life  the  way  he  had  been  before  she  came  into  the  picture.  seems  like  she’s  left  a  much  bigger  impact  than  he  could  have  ever  expected.     “     i  don’t  understand  how  you  walk  in  those  things.     ”     speech  slurs  slightly,  referring  to  the  heels  on  her  feet.  tightens  his  grip  on  her  in  his  arms  as  they  walk  down  the  deserted  street.  it’s  about  two  in  the  morning  and  they’re  both  trashed  so  instead  of  driving  her  back  to  her  place,  max  decided  to  carry  her  there.  like  the  gentleman  that  he  is.     “     they  look  like  death  traps.     ”

THIS TIME SOLEIL EYES HER CLOSELY, gauging the reaction of her bandmate. after all, they've made it this far under soleil's guidance, it's best to keep it that way right? another tap to her glass and she pushes herself to smile, opting out of taking another drink with her. " mon coeur, " the blonde hums the pet name, faux concern crossing her countenance, " it seems like something is bothering you. are you nervous? " petite frame leans forward, head tilting almost curiously. " change is a good thing. a natural thing, especially in this industry. we can't be studio shut-ins forever. "

“ JESUS— FUCK! ” sidney curses, eyes wide and knuckles white gripping the countertop. she lets out an exhale, clearly annoyed. “ have you always been this light on your feet or was that shit on purpose? ”
