𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, the carnival; event 002. 𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝, open; @classcursestarters .
❛ this whole thing is fucking bullshit. ❜ kai couldn't help but roll his eyes at the whole situation. it was no secret that he 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 amused by any of it. if anything, he 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 everything about it and that was clear. kai not one to hold back when it came to the anger and annoyance he felt about any given thing. ❛ so what're we supposed to do ? wait for the boogeyman to make their grand appearance while we ride carnival rides until we puke ? ❜

if kai had to pass the time, he'd let it pass. simply waiting for whatever shoe to drop that was going to drop. something kai knew was bound to happen. everything 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 into a million pieces. whoever was messing with them, they wanted a show. they wanted everyone to squirm before they gave the satisfaction of giving everything away. of letting the games end. perhaps kai would even 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓 it if he wasn't so deeply involved. if he wasn't the one lacking control in the situation. ⏤ as they moved and the ferris wheel came to a stop, kai couldn't help but laugh a little at the irony before glancing over at parker. ❛ shit, of course, ❜ at least it was parker he was stuck with. despite the complications of their relationship. ❛ you know, we just might be the luckiest people alive. we should probably go for an award or something at this rate. ❜ he spoke, the sarcasm laced through his words. ❛ really though, parker. if you wanted to spend some time with me, you could've just asked. you didn't have to go through all this work, trapping me on the ferris wheel. ❜ he joked.
who: @kaiwildcr
where: at the carnival; on the ferris wheel
Parker sits next to Kai on the Ferris Wheel, it was one of those coincidences. They both ended up in line behind one another, there was one cart left and she offered for him to sit next to her so he didn't have to wait for the next run or even sit alone. She places her hands on the rail, looking at the view in front of them as she tries to figure out what to even say to him. The text message has been screaming in the back of her mind since she saw it, a part of her wonders what he thinks but before she can say a thing, the Ferris Wheel squeals and suddenly the cart comes to an abrupt stop. She glances up to the top of the wheel before looking down toward him. "It is almost as ironic as being stuck in an elevator together, isn't it?"

❛ guess we really don't have anything better to do than all enjoy the screaming children and overpriced hot dogs. ❜ kai let out a small sigh, playing into the 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 before raising his shoulders up and down. ❛ some would even say, it's kismet. ❜ the male continued, a tilt of his head as he moved slightly closer to the girl. if there was 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 all of them could agree on, it was the fact that none of them wanted anything to do with the 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓 popping back up. none of them wanted to be trapped in the way they were. ( yet, here they were. ) 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃. ❛ so, tell me helena. how're we gonna make the most of this joyous event ? ❜
setting: event 3: the carnival tagged: @classcursestarters
"Hey! You having fun?" Helena asked, wide smile on her face as she walked up to the familiar figure. Truly, she could have been more freaked out about this whole thing but she didn't want to dwell...didn't want to think about the text from her ex-boyfriend tormenting her in her inbox. An impossible task but one she would try to win. Because Helena had to win. "I'm a little surprised they're still throwing it but I guess why not, right? We're all here and what else are we supposed to do." She had a feeling none of them were going anywhere, any time soon especially after being called in for an interview. Milan would have to wait a little longer still.

・ 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖. ⏤ 𝟎𝟓.𝟐𝟑.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒.
being questioned by the police ten years later wasn't exactly on the agenda . then again , when had kai ever went by a schedule or agenda ? ( it wasn't exactly his style . ) that being said , this whole thing felt ridiculous . it all felt like a complete waste of time . what difference would it make to gather them all up like sheep and ask bullshit questions that would more than likely get them nowhere . of course , kai didn't know what the questioning entailed but he couldn't imagine it being anything but a waste . there being multiple reasons as to why kai wanted nothing to do with the police's sudden interest in a case that they'd been so seemingly lazy with . . . his thoughts on the police had only gotten worse the moment his family had to deal with them and his view on cops had never been great . classic teen rebellion caused the male to end up sitting in the back of cop cars time and time again but dealing with them in this setting . . . it was somehow worse . dealing with the half assed answers and obvious secrets they were trying to keep from his family . . . it was extremely frustrating . even if kai did know what happened to chris . . . or at least , he knew more than he was letting on . but it was all more reason to be pissed in kai's view . how could all thes dumbass kids keep such a huge secret and not one cop ever caught on ? it was meant to be their job . . . at the end of the day , everyone was a fucking idiot , it seemed . again , it could've just been kai's negative view of everything and anything . his complete lack of hope or genuineness in anyone . it made it practically impossible for him to stop and see anything without this shit stained lenses .
❛ i'll stand , ❜ kai answered when being offered the seat in front of the officer . it being clear as day that kai didn't want anything to do with the situation . he didn't want anything to do with the cops , with the interview . . . he didn't want anything to do with the disappearance of christopher wilder . something that the brother wanted complete wiped from his memory . . . from his life . the countless times he caught himself wishing that he'd never had a brother in the first place . that he'd never had a family at all . the cop simply nodded , eyes glancing down at his clipboard before asking the first question on his mini list of questions that had to be asked . ( 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 ? ) unable ot help the way his eyes practically rolled behind his head . kai shook his head . feeling as though he was being proven correct . that this whole thing was a load of crap . nothing about it feeling sustainable . lips pressed together , the male choosing to play into his own sarcasm . a clear sign , a sign that he wanted the cop sitting in front of him to understand , he wasn't taking anything he was asking him or anything about the situation seriously . ❛ hmm , great question . it's not like you have a recording of each and every one of our interviews from ten years ago that you can go back and look at . ❜ crossing his arms over his chest , kai narrowed his eyes at the officer . ❛ are you gonna keep asking me questions you already have the answer to ? or are you actually gonna ask me something that might help you guys with this investigation ? just asking to prepare myself . ❜ letting the pause and silence fill the room , kai let out a laugh that sounded more like a scoff than anything else as the cop told him to just answer the question . the faster he answered , the faster he could get out of there . a true statement but this cop obviously didn't know kai practically lived off his own stubbornness and rage . ❛ right , so you're gonna waste my time , great . ❜ uncrossing his arms , kai finally took a seat . the unamused nature as he relaxed back into the chair just as clear as the sarcasm and disinterest kai was giving off . ❛ i don't know , officer . i'd go back and check what i said ten years ago but i'm pretty sure i was at a party with my friends but you already know that , don't you ? ❜
as if the cop was used to different people expressing their frustrations , he didn't react all that much . asking the next question , checking things off his list . ( 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐀𝐖 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐑 ? ) the annoyance was boiling and bubbling under the surface for kai . wanting to take out all his anger , guilt and hurt out on this random cop that he hardly even knew . on a man that was just trying to do his job . doing what he was probably told to do from whatever higher ups . not that that stopped kai from targeting the poor guy as enemy number one in that given moment . ❛ fine , i'll play along . ❜ sitting back even more in his seat . kai raised his legs up and crossed them as they relaxed against the table in between himself and the officer . ❛ the last time i saw mr. christopher wilder , another great question , johnny law . ❜ kai said , motioning a finger at the cop . the most he'd ever said chris' name in the span of years . ❛ pretty sure i saw him at home and you should probably jot this part down but we got into it before we both went off to dante's party . bet you can do a world of wonders with that information . ❜ he continued , pulling his feet off the desk as he leaned forward , arms pressed against the surface of the table . ❛ go ahead , take your time to get all that down . ❜
instead of entertaining kai , giving the male something the fuel off of . the cop moved onto the next question . again , probably experienced when it came to handling people that weren't exactly the easiest people to deal with . people that didn't want to corporate with them . something that was more than likely a lot more common than anything else . ( 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐑 ? ) that right there , that question was all kai needed to lose his mind . all he needed to clench onto and drag to the forefront . something about that question causing the male to completely lose any composure he had . . . which wasn't much of any . really , he couldn't even use his own sarcasm to hide the pure frustrations he felt . the genuine anger that was boiling beneath . ❛ you can't be fucking serious , ❜ another scoff as he stood back up . practically slamming the chair into the table as he pushed it in . if he wouldn't be arrested right then and there and didn't have at least the smallest sliver of self control , he would've punched his fist into the wall . ❛ you guys are a fucking joke . ❜ a look of complete disgust on the brunettes face as his eyebrows furrowed together . ❛ he was my fucking brother , does that answer your bullshit question ? are you done wasting all our time ? maybe go out there and try and figure out who's leaving damn evidence ten years later around , yeah ? stop with the useless questions and get out there . whatever happened to my brother isn't gonna get solved by asking this shit . figuring out how evidence is coming out of fucking nowhere might be a better place to set your sights . ❜ the cop stayed seated and silent , as if waiting for kai to stop ranting and raging . kai clearly didn't have an insight to what the cops where dealing with or doing . they could've been doing all they could but that didn't stop kai's negative view of them and own issues with everything going on . ❛ you guys are fucking useless ! there's something fucking going on in this town but you're all fucking deadbeats . sitting on your fucking thumbs while there's someone out there strategically placing evidence right in front of your fucking faces . ❜ perhaps the anger kai was expressing was more directed at himself . feeling as if the lack of control they all had over whatever was happening was almost unbearable . ❛ i'm fucking done . . . ❜

kai finding himself in a farmers market wasn't exactly the first place one would expect to see the male but what could he say ? he was trying to find something too bring back to his little shared airbnb with cat . as a thank you for hooking him up with a nicer place than whatever motel he could manage to stay at or . . . his parents . the least he could do was cook her a home cooked meal with fresh ingredients . . . 𝐒𝐄𝐄 , he could be a good person . . . ( although , some would probably claim that was debatable . )
as soon as kai saw mira , he couldn't help but laugh a bit at the comment . a hand coming up to wipe at his nose slight before he smiled and gave the girl a nod . ❛ i've got a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more of what we saw that night . don't worry . the good ole town of lincoln city wouldn't let you down . or should i say our favorite keyboard warrior ghostface ? they seem to enjoy a little crazy . ❜ the male spoke with a shrug before pressing his lips together for a moment and pointing out at the girl . ❛ which is surprising , i thought only grandmas used facebook these days ? fuck , our quirky little ghostface . kinda endaring . ❜ he joked , as his eyes narrowed slightly .
setting: one week later tagged: open @classcursestarters
Mira seemed to be one of the few that hadn't been in attendance at the alumni event the week prior. She had a 14 hour night shift and couldn't even think about calling out considering how short staffed the hospital was right now. But she had heard about what happened through the grapevine, and honestly, she was kind of sad she had missed out. Everyone in her graduating class comes back home and suddenly there is drama in Lincoln City again, and she wasn't there to watch it all unfold.
But it sounds like the cops wanted to keep everyone around. Apparently they had found something that had belonged to Chris? She wasn't sure but it sounded like this cold case might not be so cold anymore.
Entering the local farmers market, Mira headed over to the fresh produce booth to shop around. As she was inspecting the peppers, she was surprised to meet the gaze of someone she hadn't seen since high school. "Oh, hey." The raven haired girl greeted, trying not to revert to the awkward teenager she was the last time they saw each other. "Heard about the alumni event, sounded crazy."

𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 , @devilondante .
❛ you're fucking always around , aren't you ? ❜ it seemed to be a new theme , kai running into dante . ( perhaps this would be their always ? ) nevertheless , kai tilted his head towards the back 𝐄𝐗𝐈𝐓 doors of the school . ❛ you wanna come with or are you gonna hang out here ? i'll even let you vlog a little if you help me get into the headmistresses desk . ❜ eyebrows raised up and down as he tapped the 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐁𝐀𝐑 that was sticking out of his backpack before turning back around and tugging on the handle of the door .

pushing the doors open to the small convenience store , as if he was a man on a mission . kai exited the building , sticking the box of cigarettes into his pocket before stopping to turn when he realized he passed someone that had caused him to double take . it could've been someone that caught his eye or someone from the past . or , it could've been both . the latter being a lot more 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐃 as he realized it was elise . ❛ wow , it's been a long time . ❜ truly , kai was positive he wouldn't see elise again . that having more to do with how different their lives turned out and how different the 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐒 they took werer but alas , here they were . would've been a lot 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 if it wasn't because kai was forced to stay and they all had the infamous disappearance of christopher wilder hanging over their again . ( bygones . ) ❛ ❛ you look great . ❜ he added , never one to shy from things on his mind . ❛ hey , are you doing something right now ? ❜ random but again , he didn't shy away from things .

❛ this shit really is fucked , ❜ nothing about any of what they were having to deal with again seemed 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 . a bomb was going to drop and they were all going to feel it . ( kai knew it . ) there was no way that it 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 going to explode in some way . ❛ the worst part , ❜ kai began as he looked over at the other male . his drink in his hand as he looked off at the crowd of people at the bar who were seemingly having a good time . all kai saw was . . . pathetic people trying their 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 to act like they were having a good time . this whole town felt like a simulation . . . fake as fuck . ❛ i'm bored . ❜ eyes traveled back to his friend . ❛ starting to think we're gonna have to do something to liven this place up . at least have some fun in this fucking crappy town if we're gonna be stuck in it . ❜

kai couldn't really care less about michael . he was simply just around at times depending where and when kai was around whatever crowds , ( or parties , ) michael was at . kai never being one that molded into one crowd in high school . he was everywhere only due to the fact that kai wasn't the type to stick to one thing . bouncing from one place to the next . something having to be 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 enough to keep his attention for him to hang around for longer than a second . at times , back in high school there were definitely times when michael and the parties he was always at were just that , entertaining . michael , he was slightly annoying in high school but kai could also respect it back then . the guy was just who he was and that was something kai could get behind . now , he just seemed fucking weird . then again , that could've had more to do with kai's aversion to religion . or maybe it was the seemingly 𝐔𝐍𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 change in paths that michael was taking or took . kai not truly believing anyone could change that much . then again , something else kai could 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓 is doing something out of pure impulse . he just wouldn't jump to religion with his impulsivity but all in their own . ❛ sick of that shit too , ❜ kai began , ❛ all the bullshit about how this will be over in no time or it's nothing . who's anyone trying to convince ? this whole thing is fucked , might as well face that . fuck , even do something about it . ❜ looking over at the other male . maybe he 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐘 believed that this whole thing wasn't what kai felt it was but kai chose to believe no one could be that dense .
michael and kai had never really been close , their relationship extended as far as many did in high school … drinking , laughing , being in the same places . even after chris' disappearance , nothing much had registered on michael's radar and now , it was very similiar . he might have even walked past if he didn't hear the other speak , the voice enough of an invitiation for someone like michael , who was a social butterfly , to invite himself in . his herbal tea in hand as he rests the free one against the back of adjacent seat . " it's nothing so bad as purgatory … " familiar with the song , the theme underlying it obvious … if not frowned up on by their former teachers . " i'm sure that this will all be straightened out in a few weeks … there's nothing to hide , " michael being the only one delusional enough most likely to not wonder why evidence was showing up now when there shouldn't have been any . it didn't occur to him there was any real danger .

❛ you know , i truly miss our little back and forth's . almost forgot how fun they were . ❜ he commented , the sarcasm laced his words as that classic and signature smirk tugged at his lips . sure , he was 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 and when someone like kai saw someone or something that he knew could bring him some 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 , he wouldn't pass that up . the drunkenness probably helping with whatever pull he felt to whatever trouble may find him . then again , it was kai . drunk or not , he was who he was and trouble was 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 something the male shyed away from . allured to it like a the sweet sound of a sirens song . kai the type that would know the siren song wasn't beautiful at all . that something possibly deadly waited for him . that being even more reason why he wanted to test out the waters . nevertheless , this was just your classic case of old . . . friends bumping into each other . although , the two would probably swear up and down that they'd never been friends . but kai saw something to poke and bother . . . why not , right ?
❛ ugh , you're so right , so smart . tomato , tamato , am i right ? ❜ he added . a choice to not dwell on anything that had to do with his brother . not when they could be having so much more 𝐅𝐔𝐍 . he couldn't waste this perfectly good buzz , ( or more so , out of his mind drunkenness , ) on things like his quote unquote missing aka dead brother . . . wasn't really the 𝐕𝐈𝐁𝐄 . ❛ you wanna do something ? a little welcome back to lincoln city tour ? ❜
this is why she misses new york. this is why she misses going out in new york. no one knows hestia tabanao in the city that never sleeps. and hestia preferred it that way. no whispers of how pretty she used to be in the cheerleading uniform, no murmurs of how she dated christopher wilder - and always seemed to pay too much attention to his brother. there was no talk of the POOR GIRL with a mother who only saw her daughter as an accessory to style to her own preferences. in the city of new york, hestia is just a girl with a brooding demeanor and a little too much love for a gin and tonic.
brow raises at him, dark eyes squint as she leans forward to study him. "kai. you're louder than before. and you're wasted." bold of her to say, when she knows if she walks just a little too fast into bright light, it would definitely make her stumble a bit. hestia certainly isn't sober either, but she always preferred to give off an act of control of herself - even when it's a debatable stance to take. girl doesn't push his hand away, it's an obvious choice, as she takes her glass and lightly places the straw against her rouge painted lips, head tilting in consideration. "i'd argue that honor go to helena, actually. she counts as ex now that he's no longer with us, right?" and this is her being nice. she could've said kicked the bucket, dead, expired, croaked, flatlined.

the station . . . the fact that they were all being forced to stay and do interviews for something that seemed so far in the past . . . it felt ridiculous to kai . then again , it could've been because he wasn't exactly thrilled that all of this was being brought back to light . that he was being 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐃 to look everything in the mirror . kai was generally pretty good at looking things head on . he didn't hold back or hide from much but when it came to chris and everything that had to do with his missing brother . . . he wanted 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 to do with it . all he wanted to do was get as far as humanly possible from the whole situation . ( from the feelings that were trying to bubble to the surface because of it all . ) feelings that kai had done so well of 𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 for the past decade . ⏤ unable to hide the fact that he wasn't all that thrilled . kai shook his head , a hand coming up to swipe at his nose a little . trying to hold back the feelings that wanted to come out . feelings he didn't know how to show with anything but anger . ❛ can't believe they're calling everyone in . seems like such a waste of fucking time . ❜ he commented before lips pressed together for a moment and he took a breath . ❛ we should get the fuck out of here . get away from all this crap . ❜ an offer that was very much in kai fashion . although , the two hadn't really hung out just the two of them or at all in awhile . could be a chance to catch up . ❛ what'd you say ? ❜
She left the police station and after that was mindlessly walking around until she sat down. She didn't want to go home yet, face the reality her life was now after that night. She was someone who fully believed in karma and maybe she never got out because of that night. She stares at the ground in front of her, not paying attention to her surroundings. She almost doesn't hear him, her eyes raise up slightly to look at the figure in front of her. She realizes it's Kai, it's almost laughable ironic for him to be the first face she sees after her interview. She presses her lips together, nodding her head. "Just left the station," her hand gestures in the direction she came from. "Wasn't ready to go home yet... How about you?" She drifts her gaze back to him, her eyes settling on him.

being stuck in lincoln city , oregon wasn't what kai had envisioned for himself . if anything , he 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍'𝐓 be anywhere near that deadbeat town . nothing about it feeling like a home to kai . hell , he couldn't think of a time when anything about that town felt like a home . he'd 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 wanted to get out . . . just like cat , there was this deafening feeling of numbness when in lincoln city . there was something about it that simply sucked all the life out of kai . not only was it linked to a brother he was desperate to pretend didn't exist anymore . . . but it was also linked to a life he didn't want anything to do with anymore and hadn't wanted anything to do with for a long time . sure , there were people that he wished he hadn't of left but he didn't think there'd be anything that wouldn't stopped him from leaving . . . maybe if he went about things in a different way rather than just picking up and leaving one day but . . . it was inevitable , ( kai leaving . ) nothing would've stopped him from trying his hardest from getting 𝐎𝐔𝐓 of there . ⏤ kai's gaze focused in on cat as she looked down at him , a small smile crossing his lips at the thought of their little barcelona getaway . there being some irony but also something nice thinking about getting out of there at a time when it really did feel like they were 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃 . ❛ can't wait to confuse the minds of barcelona . ❜ he teased before pressing his lips together for a moment , eyes falling back on her once again after a brief moment of getting lost in his own mind . ❛ starting to think this bullcrap isn't gonna end . this fucking town , it's like quicksand . ❜
"Barcelona, baby," she confirmed, letting out a laugh as he brought up making a sexy backstory. He already had a more interesting one than most people... even if it was really his brother's. Freshly manicured fingertips came down to absentmindedly rake through his hair, her thoughts drifting to a more worried place momentarily. Catalina liked to pretend she had never been wrong, but that of course wasn't the case. And if she was wrong now? What if they weren't able to leave soon? She didn't care to spend months back here, bored after the much more fulfilling life she had made for herself, no real distractions, nothing. This town made her feel... empty. And more than that, what if evidence was found, something worse, something more incriminating? If one of her lies were unwound, it would spiral. "Jolie and Pitt have nothing on us," she stated, shaking it off to grin down at him. "I wouldn't be against it. Might be fun. Definitely more fun than dilly-dallying around this dead end little town."

talking about chris wasn't really something kai enjoyed or entertained much . which was 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓 lately due to how much he was being brought up . ( or the past was being brought up . ) it made it 𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 impossible to get away from . kai's tactics of running away from the memories that burned into his brain . . . and anything that had to do with it or his missing brother was going horrible as of lately . ⏤ taking his glass in his hand , kai couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly at the comment before bringing the dirnk up to his lips and shotting it completely back . downing all the remaining contents from the class before setting it back down on the table , now empty . ❛ can't live with 'em , can't live without 'em . or whatever fucking bullshit people spew on about . ❜ he spoke , an unamused tone in his voice . not that he was disinterested in dion or her company but the subject was something he 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 wasn't into . ❛ let's get the fuck outta here . ❜ the male offered .
where: the bar who: @classcursestarters
dion had tried to forget the past, to put everything behind her so that she doesn't feel trapped but really, she doesn't want to feel guilty. it's not like she's pretending she didn't play a part in the game but they were kids, they were having fun and something tragic happened. why were they getting dragged into this again? the interview made her relive everything throughout the week so dion stop by the bar and found that someone else was already there. next thing she knew, they were several shots in. "god, even in death, chris is still the center of attention."

just a week or so ago , kai was standing in front of cherry practically begging her to talk to him before leaving and now here he was . . . asking to speak to her . it never seemed to fail . when emotions were high . . . he had always ended up on cherry's doorstep . at least , back when he was still in lincoln city . back when it 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 feel almost foreign standing on her porch like it felt then . it was funny , how he'd gone years without reaching out once but now that he was so close to her , he couldn't stay away . or more so , he couldn't 𝐑𝐔𝐍 away as easily . a good possibility that that's why staying away seemed to be a better option . . . for both of them . at least that's what he he let himself believe . there was something so 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐑 and normal about being there . yet , something so far away and complicated about it as well . ⏤ brushing his fingers through the front of his hair . kai gave her a small nod before moving forward and through the entrance of the door . glancing around the home at as much as he could see from where he was standing . taking in the small differences and greater differences . another thing that felt so normal yet so far away from him now . ( a sense of not belonging , ) washed over him as he looked around . not belonging in a place he felt safe in ten years ago . the feeling was something that was shaken off when cherry started to head up the stairs . following behind , kai moved quietly like he used to do all those years ago . once they reached her room , kai walked inside . another glance around , taking in the changes or the things that hadn't changed much before he turned to face her . ❛ is this fucked ? ❜ he questioned , ❛ me being here , ❜ kai spoke , motioning around the room . a slight 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑 from how fast his mind was spinning with everything else going on around him , about them . the message . . . the cops . . . the evidence . . . the difficulty of pretending he never had a brother in the first place .
cherry was a night owl . she had stayed in jobs that kept her out late , shifts finishing when people were already deep in slumber … her active social life mostly forgotten in a blaze of drinking . since the return of her classmates , her mood had shifted … less interested in her previous lifestyle and more burdened with an anxiety that things would never be the same . not that how things were had been great , either . it didn't even strike her that it was kai at the door , expecting parker , maybe river … even taejin to wash up after some weird exploit in lincoln city . she hesitates , no words forming to fall from her lips initially , fingertips on the doorframe . a few beats as she realises what he's asking and she has seen it . they've all seen it . it takes a second for her to process , gaze flittering away and then back . standing there in her mothers lavender robe , hair drawn up … it felt vulnerable to her and she hated it . " yeah , i saw it , " she steps aside , allowing him inside , her voice quiet … not unlike many times she had snuck him in before . she glances back as she heads for the stairs , " i wouldn't have shut the door on you … for whatever that's worth , " mumbled almost as if not wanting him to fully here , " come on , " ascending the wood beam staircase her mother had taken so much pride in when re-decorating .

cat and kai shared common ground and that was the fact that they both didn't do well with letting people get through the walls that were around them . they didn't really 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 to let anyone in . perfectly fine with the very few handful of people in their lives . or the relationships and situations with people that didn't mean much to them . at least , that's how it was for kai . but kai and cat were both people that didn't want to dig too deep into their emotions . they both didn't touch on them . whether that be because they didn't feel them at all about one thing or the other or because it was buried so deep down , they may as well not feel 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 at all . ⏤ that being said , cat was someone that kai had kept in his life . she was one of the rare people that had managed to stay and one of the rare few that he 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 to stay . glancing over at her , kai knew he had to snap out of it . he'd done so well pushing everything with all of this , with chris down . it wasn't something he wanted to deal with , he wasn't interested . a nod followed as he made his way over and sat down next to her . ❛ did you just say barcelona ? ❜ eyes narrowed as the corners of his lips came up a little into a small smile . ❛ this new role of sugar baby is really doing me so many favors . ❜ the male teased before laying his back down so his head was now on her lap . ❛ should i build a new persona in barcelona ? think up some sexy backstory ? some mr. and mrs. smith type of shit ? make everyone believe we're spies trying to kill each other . could be fun ? screw with people a little . ❜ he joked as he motioned with his hands along with his words . eyebrows raising before falling back down as he looked up at her . avoiding everything else seemed like the 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 option . because maybe he didn't believe her when she said it wasn't so bad . . . maybe it was ? and maybe there was 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 none of them could do about it ? something kai absolutely despised . . . the inability to do anything other than wait for the other shoe to drop .
"It's not that bad. At least you're stuck with me." But it was pretty bad, wasn't it? Cat wasn't the touchy-feely type, she wasn't the best with emotion... at least, genuine emotion, and the two of them didn't exactly build a friendship on heart to hearts. But even she could recognize this had to be harder on Kai than most of them, likely bringing extremely valid feelings to the surface he tried to push down. And despite being who she was, she did care — about him and a very small handful of others, don't give her too much credit. "It won't be long," she assured him in a softer tone, her smile falling. She didn't know that, she didn't know anything. But surely. Surely. "Then you can go wherever you want. I will drag you to Vegas with me, maybe Barcelona."

the whole thing was something of nightmares . . . although , kai didn't like admitting to anything like that . wanting to take more of a 𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 route on the whole thing . that being said , it was beginning to get a bit difficult to hide the fact that the whole thing was 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐘 frustrating . a million feelings boiling to the surface for the male . . . but the only feelings kai had ever been good at letting out and expressing was self - destruction , destruction . . . chaos . . . and of course , rage . right now , rage was what he felt . the pain , hurt and heartbreak being something that he 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 all that willing to witness and see for himself . instead , 𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄 . . . rage and frustration . . . annoyance . . . that's what he felt . he was tired of sitting around and doing 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 . allowing himself to get blackmailed and threatened and played with . it wasn't in kai's nature . ❛ fuck dude and not be able to hit up all the old spots with my boy ? never , no regrets . ❜ in truth , maybe he did have some regrets about coming back but now , he was there . making his way over to the other , kai gave rhys bike a smack on the seat . ❛ you know what i do regret ? not kicking malcolm's ass at the reunion . guys a fucking dipshit . one of these dumbass cops trying to question bullshit is gonna have to do . ❜ he couldn't help but joke , laughing shortly after . his moods seemingly like a light switch . ( up and down . )
It's been two weeks the reunion, since the news came out about the evidence. It's being treated like someone had pushed him into the water that night... but wouldn't that be true? Whoever wrote the dare is ultimately responsible for the disappearance and death of Christopher. He knees down in front of his motorcycle, glancing up every so often to check on his best friend as he paces and sighs. It's true, the words that come out of Kai's mouth. It's like the town swallowed all of them whole that night and had this choke hold on them. "Yeah," he mutters. "You regret comin' back?" He asks, raising his eyes up from the bike to fully look at Kai.
