tierney.

MOST wouldn’t be able to tell by a first glance the twins apart. Spending well more than quality time with Tierney’s sister Teagan, she knew exactly who she was talking too. Even though her mind was hazy, credit due to the half bottle of whiskey that ran close to empty sitting in her hydroflask, her eyes weren’t resting on complete heartbreak. But, it felt fairly close. The relationship that Toni had with the other was broken beyond compare. Not that she was the one that cheated but, she also promised to not Tierney’s sister – but it was impossible when  the pieces to her own puzzle became fragmants on the ground in front of her. Perhaps Toni’s inability to fully regulate herself, she hadn’t realized how her words would bother others. “ Yeah – thanks, I guess, ” she shrugged, the first words falling out of her mouth straight to the ground alongside her glance. “ I’m used to it at the point. Darkness seems follows me everywhere lately, ” she sighed. 

TONI was one of the few people who had always been able to tell tierney apart from teagan ; which the elder twin was sure was thanks to the relationship that toni and teagan had previously shared . while tierney hadn’t gotten the shitty end of this breakup deal , she’d still lost one of her closest friends , and that hurt regardless . part of her wanted to be mad at toni for leaving her behind , but she also knew that the brunette had only done what she needed to do to protect herself , and how could tierney be mad at that ? letting a heavy sigh fall from her lips , tierney twiddled her fingers as she stared at the ground . “ sorry , that was kinda harsh . ” she muttered softly as she glanced back up at the other woman . “ is it pointless to ask how you are ? ”

ALLISON laughed at her words, since it would indeed be a mystery as to which twin she recalled. She was completely sure the woman looked familiar because of the store but when she pointed out being a famous pop star, it all clicked. “ Right! Of course, now it’s all put together. That’s why you look so familiar. Boy do I feel dumb, ” she admitted, her cheeks bright red. Perhaps it was the fact that she never believed they would choose this small town to reside in, let alone it be the same one Allison ended up in, that blocked her from making that connection. 

IT wasn’t uncommon for people to confuse the twins for one another , so tierney couldn’t possibly get upset with allison for not recognizing her as herself . tierney hadn’t meant to be bragging by bringing up being famous , but she did hope that it would help the other realize why she recognized her other than from the shop . “ shh no , don’t feel dumb . the whole point of moving to this town was to not be noticed for being famous , and obviously it’s working , so that’s good ! ” she hummed with a soft laugh . “ by all means though , don’t let that change your perception of me . ”

HE could always tell them apart. He didn’t understand how some people got Tierney and Teagen confused. They were like two different people but right now after a 14 hour flight he could barely remember his own name let alone tell them apart. “ Ummm you know Teagen…I mean Tierney fuck.. ” He hit his head, “ You wanted to do something super cool and I totally agree with it. ” Joongki said with a smile hoping the other would go easy on him. 

JOONGKI was one of the few people that had never had an issue telling the twins apart . how he did it , tierney still wasn’t sure ; but she was impressed regardless . when he called her by the wrong name , tierney arched her brows high and glanced over at him . “ wow , you really are out of your head if you’re mixing us up . ” she teased lightly . “ maybe we should save the talk of fun things until you’ve had some sleep ? ”

“ please, have a seat. i feel like such a horrible person for being so rude to you, ” she said with a soft sigh as she pointed towards the empty chair next to her. “ let me make it up to you. do you want anything? coffee, food, anything? ” she asked, pushing the paper and pencil to the side. “ it feels good not to be alone experiencing the block. although the block itself feels terrible. but this has nothing to do with songs. i’m trying to write recipes. ”

“ nah, don’t feel horrible. it’s all good . ” tierney hummed with a smile as she took a seat before the other woman . “ i mean , i’ll never turn down food . ” she admitted with a laugh . “ i get that . block is never fun , no matter what you’re writing . ooh recipes ? what for ? ”

OLIVER put his glass down after he finished the drink and looked at the person who had just sat next to him. “ look…this might be the booze talking but come on, what sort of person has fish for pets? it’s ridiculous! ” he said shaking his head and then pushing his hair back. “ i mean, might as well look at those laptop screensavers, it’s much cheaper. ” he laughed.

WHEN she was able to fully process the male’s question , tierney couldn’t help but laugh . “ um , first off ; that’s an odd question to throw at someone right as they sit down . ” she told oliver with a laugh before shaking her head as she pondered an answer . “ and second ? i was that kind of person while i was in college ... mostly because fish was the only pet i was allowed to have . ”

MAGGIE was slowly walking through What the Book?, carefully reading each spine of each book her eyes crossed paths with until she landed on one with a title that seemed to make her unsuccessfully hold in a laugh that was a little too loud. “ God, this must be a good book.. I mean, if it’s made me break my serious face already, I bet it is… ” she said out loud, not realizing someone was listening to her words. Turning to the person she shrugged. “ Go ahead. Tell me your best joke. ” the blonde added, before picking up the book and quickly skimming through it. “ Gosh, I hate a guy with a car and no sense of humor. ” 

HEARING the other woman’s outburst , tierney looked up from the book that she’d currently been skimming and listened as the blonde continued to speak . when maggie suggested she tell her a joke , tierney just offered her a shrug . “ i’m so not a good joke person . ” she admitted honestly . “ but you need to tell me what this book is about , or i’m going to continue to be lost . ” she added with a slight laugh . 

HANDLING emotions had never been something that celeste is good at. she was either so good at concealing it, or she’ll end up being all over the place and a complete mess. there was literally no in between. but for today, the redhead figured it was best to set her worries aside. she isn’t running out of time, it’s just that… she’s on her own now. she basically stood up for herself during the last family get-together. her parents weren’t exactly happy about it, but for her, it felt so amazing. 

CELESTE was sitting on one of the high stools in the diner, waiting for her friend to show up while enjoying a tall glass of strawberry milkshake. in all honesty, she was getting bored already. so upon hearing a voice speak, she immediately gets up from her seat. “ well. i figured today is a good day to do something… you and i haven’t done yet. ” a small smile grew prominent on her features.

TIERNEY knew all too well what it was like to struggle with balancing emotions . it was something that she’d struggled with all her life , even to this day . she understood better than anyone celeste’s desire to do anything but think about her current situation and the emotions that came with it , so when the redhead had invited her to the diner , of course she’d agreed to meet her . after all , she had her own struggles going on in her life currently , and she too could use a brief break from reality . 

WALKING into the diner , tierney looked for the familiar red locks and upon spotting them , walked towards the table where her friend sat . hearing celeste’s words , tierney nodded in agreement . “ i like the sound of that . ” she said as she sat down across from her friend . “ but what are we gonna do ? ”

IT had been a long morning. She slept though her alarm just to wake up and to realize her and her booty call from the night before had slept in. After very quietly sneaking out, she had been dressed and made sure all of her belongings were accounted for before making her exit. These type of nights were typical for Quinn. The woman pulled out her phone to text last night’s conquest a half-hearted message explaining her absence when her body collided into another “ Shit, I’m sorry. ” She managed to breath out, hastily pocketing her phone. “ Totally my fault, shouldn’t text and walk. ” She let out a minor chuckle and looking up to see who she had managed to disrupt.

EVER since finding out about anita’s passing , tierney hadn’t quite been herself ( for obvious reasons ) . in fact , she hadn’t even left the house that she and teagan shared for days ; this being her first outing since she’d gotten the dreadful news . while she still wasn’t feeling up to being social , tierney knew that she couldn’t spend her entire life moping around , which is why she’d forced herself out of the house ( with a little help from teagan , if she was being honest ) . being in her current mental state , tierney had promised to text teagan constantly ; her twin sister wanting to know that she was alright since she couldn’t keep her eyes on her . tierney was in the middle of responding to a text from her twin sister when she collided with quinn . in this moment , she was glad to have run into one of her best friends rather than a complete stranger . at least quinn would understand why she’d not been paying attention . “ s - sorry q . ” the elder suarez twin spoke in almost a whisper as she tucked a strand of hair nervously behind her ear . 

IT had been four years – almost five since Tonimarie Andrews left to Columbia. Although that graduation wasn’t brought her back, she was back nonetheless and every other native was none-the-wiser. No one knew what chaos that her life had become. It was so odd to her, the feeling of returning to such a small town that knew everything about her once now would feel like a stranger to her. While they knew her name, they really didn’t know her anymore. Toni decided that she needed a long walk to re-aquatint herself with the town. In the midst, she ended up finding herself along the boardwalk. It wasn’t all that surprising, really. It was summer after all. She wasn’t exactly looking to hold a conversation with anyone but there she found a familiar face, or maybe not, that caught her attention. Toni was in a fog, no thanks to the hydro flask in her hand that definitely was not water. So whether she really knew the person or they really knew her was completely in the air. “ I know what you’re thinking, ‘what is Tonimarie Andrews doing back in Springhill right?’ Well, I’ll tell ya –, ” she leaned in as her next words were much softer, “ But then I’d have to kill you, ” she giggled quickly, returning to her initial stance. 

THE face before her was one that tierney would have recognized no matter how many years had passed . after all , she knew everything there was to know when it came to her twin sister’s life , so how could she not recognize the woman that used to hold teagan’s heart ? in the time that tonimarie had been with her sister , tierney felt like she’d grown quite close to the woman ; so the breakup that had inevitable fell upon toni and teagan had taken a toll of it’s own on tierney as well . when toni had left for colombia , tierney felt like she’d lost one of her closest friends ; something she hadn’t taken well . tierney had to do a double take upon seeing the other woman before her , but when tonimarie confirmed who she was , tierney let a heavy sigh fall from her lips . “ you know , there was a time in my life when i would have willingly welcomed such a statement . ” she muttered softly , glancing up at the woman before her . “ i would say it’s good to see you , but i feel like given the circumstances , it might be a lie ? ” tierney admitted softly , glancing down at her feet before letting her eyes fall back upon the other woman . “ either way , welcome back . ”

JOONGKI turned over his back hitting the floor as he looked up at the other figure in the room. “ I was totally listening like my ears were totally on every word. ” He said trying to lie his way out of this own. The new shop was doing great but more money also meant more clients and more work which drove him crazy. “ You were saying we should hang out Saturday right? To do that thing..that thing you just said that I totally heard. ” 

WHEN joongki rolled over and actually looked at her , tierney couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him . his words alone revealed that he hadn’t actually been listening to her , and that amused her more than she cared to admit . “ that thing ? ” she asked , arching a brow at her friend . “ if you totally heard then what was it ? ”
