antonio-lance-hill‌:

the first shift back on the job was an eventful one. someone that antonio and his partner were trying to help had taken a jab at him, landing one hell of a punch. ‘’SHIT– don’t worry..’’ he grumbles to himself, a string of swear words leaving his lips in spanish ‘’i’m fine. its just a scratch.’’ but do scratches even bleed that MUCH??

the event happened rather abruptly, and it seemed that gemma was showing up at the aftermath. brows tugged together, she carefully approached the other who looked a little beat up. “that kinda looks like a little more than a scratch. maybe you should take it easy for a second.”

sydney: it just dawned on me that in my whole 17 years of life, i have never actually been black friday shopping

sydney: not sure how i feel about that frankly

sydney: feels like a rite of passage kind of thing, but i also don't want to get trampled in a target

gemma: it's not all that tbh

gemma: you're not missing much, at all. besides, there are pretty much the same deals online as in store. which completely solves the getting trampled worry.

“isaac? hmm, that does sound like someone he’d do?” she muttered, tilting her head to the side as she thought of it. cleo didn’t care so much that someone prank called her, she just wanted to know who was it. she has the same phone number her entire life and didn’t need it to be some creep from middle school or something. “of course they called with a blocked number. i wouldn’t need to interrogate people about it if they didn’t. i kinda wished they were dumb like that, honestly.”

“one hundred percent. though, he’s been pretty preoccupied lately.” gemma responded, her tone not nearly as playful as before. he truly did have a lot going on at the moment, surely he didn’t have the time for prank calls. “it would be kind of hilarious if they forgot to block their number.” a particular memory came to her mind, causing her to laugh. “this wasn’t a prank call but indeed a prank. . . when i was like, five or six years old, a couple of my classmates told me santa’s number was 911 so i tried calling him when i got home. it was super fun when the ambulance and cops showed up at my house. those bitches.” she muttered, wondering where those classmates were at in their lives today.

      ‘   YOUR CAR …   ’     she hesitates,    momentarily questioning whether the girl was being serious.   she just didn’t look like a … no lou,   don’t judge a book by it’s cover.     clearing her throat,   lou puts on her game face,      ‘ yes —  i kicked you car.  ’     that isn’t illegal as far as she’s aware.    unless the bumper is damaged.   her eyes fall down ,     unfortunately  it was still in perfect condition.    ‘  it was an accident.   no damage done —   can’t say the same for the ozone layer though.  ’

gemma wondered how long she could keep a straight face for, quite honestly she felt shocked that she didn’t choke up quite yet. she was simply curious as to what the other’s reaction would be. gem rested a hand on her hip, eyes narrowing on her while she sipped her coffee. once she was done speaking, gem cleared her throat. “okay, right. actually i���m just kidding--that’s not my car.” she observed their surroundings before lightly kicking the bumper as well.

imsg: regina → gemma

regina: that’s what i’m saying. if she was full term i’d be able to be with her 24/7, i should be able to be with her 24/7 now. it’s only fair.

regina: yeah, you’re right. and that’s a good point too... i just get so nervous when i’m not within walking distance from her. :/

gemma: it shouldn't matter if she's full term or not, you should be with her no matter what. that's some BS.

gemma: i get what you're saying. it's hard to find time and a place to rest, but she's going to be okay. how far do you live from the hospital?

It had been a bit of a day for Elliot. Deadlines had stressed her out, she’d been working on her first ever dress commission for someone and on top of that she’d had a disgusting feeling of dizziness and fatigue dragging her down all day. She dumped her stuff down on the table closest to her, her hands steadying herself as she felt her head reel. “I’m sorry…” She mumbled, eyes finding the person at the table and shooting them a gentle smile. “Just felt a bit dizzy for a moment.”

gemma was rather surprised by the abrupt new companion that sat across the table. did they know each other? gem’s eyes narrowed on the girl, trying to see if there was any type of recognition. however, all faces in halston looked familiar in one way or another, unless the person was literally brand new to the town. “ah, don’t worry. do you need a glass of water or something?”

imsg: regina → open

regina: stupid fucking hospital won’t let me sleep in the stupid fucking family room anymore bc “they’re not a hotel.”

regina: and just as i was about to go to sleep in my car the stupid fucking security guard told me i can’t sleep in their parking lot. what the FUCK?

gemma: oh that's pretty fucked. they should have a special area for parents to stay

gemma: i'm sorry, regina. but it does sound like you should get some rest at home. as hard as it may be, you have to build your strength back up for your baby just as she is building strength.

       ‘    WHO’S CAR IS THIS?!   ’    words full of rage,    lou puts her hands through her hair in stress.     she stands on the curb as if it were her own personal soap box.     a car beside her wearing a clear green sticker on the windscreen,    ‘   newsflash:   putting an     i care about the environment    sticker on a mercedes benz ? — ’    she gestures to the vehicle,    though no one is paying enough attention to notice.    ‘ is like putting a cow on the logo for a steakhouse.  ’    hands on her hips,     she stares back at the item of interest.    next thing she knows,    her foot slips  &  hits the bumper.     ‘  my bad. ’   okay maybe she kicked it on purpose.     

one perk of gemma’s fairly new apartment was that a coffee shop was in walking distance from the building. she stopped in for a much needed coffee-to-go on an afternoon weekday. as gem started making her way back to the apartment, she couldn’t help but notice a young woman who seemed to be in some type of distress. hesitantly approaching the other, gem quirked an eyebrow. “ma’am. . . did you just, kick my car?” she was one hundred percent joking.

“Oh shit, I am so sorry!” They had just wanted a coffee after work but they hadn’t been paying attention and now it was all over themselves and the person they had ran into. For the better, perhaps. “I um, I have some napkins?”

the impact shocked gemma quite a bit. the aroma of coffee was present and now soaked on her jean jacket. she eyed the other, laughing a little bit because that was always her default reaction to just about everything. “it’s okay, don’t worry. . . i dunno how much of help napkins will be, but i’d appreciate some.”

Nico furrowed his brows. “Are Disney characters not a good thing? Don’t people find them attractive to some extent?” He knew he had. “Ahhh, I see. I’m Mexican so we had tequila as opposed to wine. That is not a fun thing to drink. Also a little hard to replace it with anything.”

“they’re a little cringe, not gonna lie.” gemma laughed, quirking an eyebrow. “people who are like, twelve years old maybe.” she had her fair share of disney star crushes growing up, though she wouldn’t directly admit that. “tequila can be fun to drink, but maybe not too much of it. not my favorite liquor, to be honest.”

saffronmontgomery‌:

“Nope.” She chuckled, making sure to pop the p, despite not knowing why. “Nothing happens anymore if there’s no pictures of it. It’s like… modern law.” Walking over to the tray, she picked up two red shots, handing one over to Gemma. “Are we supposed to say cheers or…?” 

gemma couldn’t help but to laugh at the other’s mannerisms. not in a rude way, of course, but she was simply amused. quite frankly, she was also enjoying the conversation in general. “modern law. . . pretty much.” she shrugged at her question, clinking the tiny glasses together anyway. “cheers or!” gem triumphed, stinking her pinky finger in the glass to make the jello outline loose before popping it in her mouth.
