Emily was cleaning the last table before she could go home and rest after  an intense workout provided by her swim coach.Emily had a rough day or more like week thanks to the same jackass from a few years ago,Ben.

Cassidy wasn't a big fan of the Brew,she did like coffee she was just more of a Starbucks type girl.But in the shitty town of Rosewood The Brew was as close as they got to fine coffee.She went inside and ordered for a latte.She was about to pay and leave when she saw the mysterious new object.She was intrigued when she paid the cashier she asked her how that thing worked.The cashier explained that you could whisper a random thing,like a secret and a person sitting at the desk could listen to them.Normally she would laugh and tell the cashier who would do that,tell their secrets to a random person.But as of recently Cassidy was holding onto a secret,if you could even consider it a secret.

She had finished her latte and was about to leave when she decided she needed to vent and the only person or in this case a thing she could vent to was in front of her. Cassidy got up and got inside the machine.She sighed as she realized how stupid this was but decided to continue.”All my short life I have,well never really thought of like marriage and related stuff.My mom died when I was young and well my father is a dick.I ran away from home and have lived on my own since then.I never wanted a serious relationship because I was afraid that I might end up like my broken up family.”Cass took a deep breath to prevent her from crying.She really hated remembering her messed up family.Even if there were good moments with Cece the majority were sad.

“So when I met her well I thought it was another one of those one night stands I always had.But I kept going back and I didn't know why.I tried to keep my distance from her because honestly I didn't need anyone in my life or so I thought.I didn't stop it and it gradually became something bigger we became well a couple.”Cass remembered every step of Alison and her relationship and how hard it was for her to admit she loved her.”I told her I loved her and that was a pretty big step for me.I know I don’t have any experience in long lasting relationships but I really love her and I never wanted to be with anyone else like I want to be with her.”

Josh needed to talk to someone. He needed someone. He sprinted to the Brew. He didn't see any familier face. He noticed that the brew was about to close in just a few minutes. He got some coffee, and chugged it down, ignoring his burning throat. He put his head down and sighed. He wished he had some more friends. He had a best friend, Dexter, but he didn't want to burden Dex with his own problems in the middle of the night. Josh just needed to get this off his chest. He was about to walk out of the Brew, but noticed a weird set up towards the exit. He walked up to it, and quickly realized what it was. 

Should I..? What if someone finds out that it was me who told the secret? I don’t care anymore, I can’t hold this inside me anymore, Josh thought as he walked up to the microphone. He inhaled sharply and started, “I...I did something terrible. My whole life is a big mess, and I guess I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t know what I was doing..I don’t even remember if I was awake or not. It felt so real.”

Josh remembered what had happened more vividly than ever. He almost felt the pain like it was happening to him at that moment. “I’ve never told this to anyone..but my father started abusing me when I was twelve. He wanted to be so much like my brother. My brother was perfect, he had perfect grades, he was the captain of the football team, he even had the choice to skip a grade...While I was an average student, and I was only good at soccer. I wasn’t special. I was just me.” Josh started holding back. He wasn’t sure if he could do this, but he continued anyway.

On the darkest of nights, on the coldest of days, Mike Montgomery would often be woken by the sounds of the outdoors. The calling off owls, the late drive ins by cars as well as the slowly ticking and creaking noise that came from the clock which is on the wall directly above him. But of all nights, this night, Mike wasn't woken by a loud car horn. Or those pesky little birds annoying sounds but by something else. His own thoughts. A we know how dangerous our own thoughts can be. It can turn a persons who personality like a light switch. This dream of Mike wasn't one he could get himself out of. And it wasn't filled with candy canes and rainbows.

  Audrey approached the peculiar device, and following the barista’s instructions in her head, she hesitantly entered the glass hair-dryer..? Then flicked the microphone on. Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and decided, why not? She couldn’t exactly tell anyone her secrets, and this was a pretty good alternative. Besides, her voice wasn’t particularly recognizable, and no one would know. Except.. no, as long as she didn’t say any details, she would be fine. And so she began. “Um.. okay, well, I was arrested twice, one for breaking and entering, and the other time for stealing. I do it so..” Audrey pursed her lips, eyes flicking around the Brew tentatively, “so my parents can pay attention to me rather than their stupid jobs.” She let out a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment, before opening them again. 

  Now onto secret number two.. “and uh, I helped my friend when she was in trouble.. she didn’t mean to- to kill the girl, but it just.. happened. And I couldn’t let her go to jail, it was just an accident.. so I helped her. I lied to the police, and told them I was with her the whole time, and it couldn’t have possibly been her. I helped her, and now someone else is in jail for her mistake...” Audrey glanced up from the microphone, so far, no one had even paid her any heed. No one cared, they couldn’t hear what she was saying. No one knew. The Brew was too loud anyways, and everyone was still too busy with their own lives to bother with some stranger. She could still keep going, and she did. 

Secondly, we have two upcoming events now that Cece's store opening has been postponed but until our Cece comes on again, I'd rather not randomly announce dates since I'd like to pull that one off prior to the other one - which will be filled with A tasks once more, so it's smarter to wait with that one anyway until we could complete our current A tasks. Just so you know, neither of those have been forgotten, we're just in need of a date (the second event will be the camping idea someone submitted a while ago by the way)
