        at fifteen years old poly torres was far too young to be flying across country solo, especially without her mother knowledge nor consent. but when poly had an idea in her head there was no stopping her, and no one knew that better than her favorite aunt addison who was the first person poly turned to in a crisis like the one she had found herself in now. 

        after a cataclysmic fight with her mother over poly’s newest beau the latina had liberated her mothers credit card for a first class ticket to LAX, of course to poly, the almost nine year age gap was no big deal, after all, as she had pointed out mid fight ‘dad’s fucking girlfriend was twenty six years old -- that’s like, a freaking decade more than there is between me and logan’  and that statement certainly hadn’t helped callie to cool her heels that was for sure. mentioning her father; especially mid argument had been low even for poly, even fifteen years after his death she knew how if upset her mother to mention the man who she’d never met. as if by some cosmic joke her life had been given almost in exchange for her fathers. and sometimes poly wondered if that thought ever crossed callie’s mind too. although she never doubted her mothers love, she knew that when callie looked at her she saw mark staring back,especially the older she got. 

      so with a over night bad haphazardly thrown together, she touches down at LAX and hops a cab to addison’s condo on the beach, if anyone was going to understand it was her favorite aunt & god mother  --- at least she hoped, she had been so filled with resentment and annoyance than it wasn’t until she was stepping up to addison’s door that the nerves hit her, and the reality that she’s literally ran away from home. 

    ‘ uh --- surprise? ---’  poly shrugs when the door opens, ‘ okay so before you freak out, and tell me that i have to call that bitch that is my mother, hear me out okay? --- unless mom has been on the phone? that would be just fuckin’ typical --- sorry, no f’words, right? --- y bad, i’m just --- i cannot, WILL NOT live with her, she is UN-FREAKING-REASONABLE --- she’s acting like i am some dumb stupid kid, just because logan is a LITTLE older, like she never dated anyone older or younger for that matter --- didn’t she like MARRY her INTERN?? --- uh,sorry where the heck are my manors ---’ she finally catches a breath after her usual hurricane like entrance  before she moves forward dropping her bag to wrap her arms around her god mother, nestling her head against her chest, sometimes poly felt like addison was the only person that understood her, and that sucked because she lived over a thousand miles away. 

       ‘ please don’t tell my mom i’m here, please ---not yet ’ her bravado faltering as her eyes filled, poly might like to think she was a grown up, but she was still a child as much as she argued it.
