“I don’t want to miss you.” Maddy’s eyes showing so much as she spoke to the girl who had proven to be an extension of her family. The snake tattoos on the both of them serving as a reminder of where they came from and the need for unity. Still there was the fact that the woman had found someone else. Inhaling she continued. “I don’t want to be just another ex-love you don’t want to see.” 

    Sonia could not help but look at the other’s clothes with envy. The kind princess never had the chance to wear. As due to her status people held expectations for how she should dress. And she saw it as her duty to never disappoint. Even if it meant repressing her own wants and needs. “Wow~! What a radical jacket!”

    For someone who was so often surrounded by people, loneliness was not a foreign feeling for Sonia. Often she felt alienated due to her status and the responsibility that came along with it. Toni’s words were a comfort, but still, she could not help her feelings. “It is difficult,” She answers honestly, “Because sometimes it is most trying for me to decipher who wants to be around me – or…” The voice trailed off, “Be around what I represent.” Power, wealth, and prestige. Things she never asked for – something she would happily give up for a normal life. To be a normal woman.

Living in the trailer park afforded you certain advantages, joining the serpents an even greater one. You had a crew at your back, one willing to go to war with you. The payment? Be ready to go just the same for the rest of the family. And it doesn’t hurt to have more teammates for a game of Griffins and Gargoyles, something he is glad their queen doesn’t ban. Boyish smile crosses his face as he approaches her in the bar, he might be a little drunk but it doesn’t stop him from leaning into the palm of his hand. “What do you say about another round for me and the party?”

it’s so odd as she sits across from toni, so familiar and yet different. they are different people now. she’s a new woman, someone who hides, strays from the spotlight. and toni, her sweet antionette has blossomed into who she always knew she was meant to be. she’ll never shame herself for pushing her towards college, for helping her get a scholarship. because toni has flourished and cheryl feels deeply for the woman sitting across from her still. “i don’t know if i can be at the meeting, but i can make the donation at least. i’m just, busy, very busy.”
