ryan’s  in  the  bathroom  at  yet  another  gala,  hair  done  and  sporting  more  brand  names  than  a  shopping  mall.  seeing  another  younger  girl  enter,  she  glances  at  her  through  the  mirror.    “  you  look  a  bit  young  to  be  here.  who’s  paying  you  ?  ”

nevaeh was never impulsive. she made good choices, she followed the rules, and she rarely took any risks. so the fact that she had bought a plane ticket and flew to another state to crash her ex boyfriend’s rehearsal dinner was completely out of character; if anyone knew where she was, they’d think she was crazy. the little brunette had turned off her phone at the airport and had yet to turn it back on, instead catching a cab to take her to the venue. it was only when she arrived that she realized she didn’t even have their number anymore, and the only way to talk to him was to walk in and find him. so she did, striding through the lobby and finding him standing at the bar, chatting amicably with someone in a suit beside him. “surprise,” her voice was soft as she reached out, tentatively tapping him on the shoulder, her heart thundering in her chest. @evcrsosweet​

“ i need your help... and you need mine. ”

“    i    guess    you’re    all    mine    when    you’re    sleeping    in    this    bed    with    me.    ”

{ from: sydney } do you mind if i take this coming friday off for my sister's birthday?

it’s the last thing he’d expected to hear; whether that be because of his own ignorance, or because it really was coming out of the blue was yet to be determined -- but he needs to get to the bottom of it, regardless of how the answer might make him feel. he’d broken down a number of barriers with her, and the idea that it had been all for nought was concerning him to say the least. he’d been so sure of himself and his instincts, to know that he could’ve been wrong about her doesn’t bear thinking about. “why are you over this?” he’s adamant to get a truth out of her; whether it’s minimal, or every single thought that’s consuming her mind right now. he won’t let it go, can’t let it go. “--fine, you’re done with me. i’ll respect that if you respect me enough to tell me why. what was this to you? was it nothing?” 

        she’d   arrived   at   the   christmas   party   with   someone   else   .      anothers   arm   around   her   shoulder   ,      laughing   at   his   jokes   and   drinking   the   wine   that   he’d   poured      -      and   yet   ,      somehow   ,      she   ended   up   here   .      the   end   of   a   dark   hallway   ,      the   sound   of   the   party   coming   from   the   direction   of   the   christmas   tree   .      the   wine   is   buzzing   in   her   ears   ,      turning   her   cheeks   the   same   shade   of   rosé   .      ❝      i   could   see   you   staring   .      like   he’s   just   your   understudy   .   .   .      ❞      eye   contact   established   ,      brow   raised   .      ❝      like   you’d   get   your   knuckles   bloody   for   me   .   ❞  @evcrsosweet​

        he   thought   that   he   would   know   what   to   say   ,      that   it   would   come   easy   after   all   the   times   he   had   rehearsed   it   .      he   wasn’t   sure   why   he   had   walked   away   ,      why   he   had   left   them   begging   for   answers   .   .   .      perhaps   it   was   because   this   time   of   year   was   the   hardest   for   him   .      he   didn’t   have   any   family   and   without   family   christmas   means   nothing   .      just   another   date   on   the   calender   waiting   to   be   crossed   through   .      he’d   let   his   emotions   get   the   best   of   him   and   he’d   pushed   away   the   one   person   he   did   have   .   .   .      the   one   person   he   had   considered   family   .      ❝      i   .   .   .      i   don’t   quite   know   what   to   say   .      ❞      he   admits   ,      head   tucked   like   a   child   being   scolded   .      ❝      but   i   just   want   you   to   know   that   this   is   me   trying   .   .   .      for   you   ,      for   us   .      ❞        @evcrsosweet​
