“ — you mean people don't normally get scared when you're popping out of nowhere ? ” she questions, singular brow perking up but she means to do nothing but poke fun at an obviously funny situation. at least to her. “ you don't have to be sorry though, baby, it's alright. if it wasn't you then it would've been the next person. ” as for what has her on edge ? there's a bunch of answers she could give: being home brought back bad memories. there's a handful of faces lurking around that she's afraid of coming across. she's planning her next getaway in missy fashion like it's a dirty secret. none of which comes out of her mouth and instead, she shrugs her shoulder. “ no reason. i think i was just born jumpy. one of my many terrible character traits. anyway — how was the run ? i didn't get you too far out of the zone, did i ? ”
bella had kind of been lost in her own little world over here. headphones had been in and upon seeing the other she had started to remove them from her ears and back into their case. attention falling back onto the other. " oh, that's my bad . . . sorry. did i startle you ? " she asked with a small laugh leaving her lips. " i didn't mean to scare you or anything. i had my headphones in and i haven't been paying too much attention. " she'd been on a run before and finally was trying to catch her breath. " a warning bell would probably have been helpful because i can very much promise that wasn't what i was trying to do. what's got you so on edge anyway ? "

“ what can i say ? i've always been a drama queen. ” in her own right. she lets her hand drop to her side, finding it a place within the back pocket of her jeans — unwavering eyes on jj. “ but you're right. i'll be sure to always keep my eyes up as long as you promise to make your presence known when you're lurking around. deal ? ” then he mentions his sister and missy can't help but to clear her throat lightly before shaking her head. “ nope ... well, not yet, anyway. been working real hard on planning my grand reveal. ” and by grand reveal, she means lurking and the shadows and blissfully hoping that no one notices her. what a stupid thought to have. even missy knows better than to think a town like palmview grove was ever a place she'd go unnoticed. “ you plan on spoiling that for me ? ”
he blinked, caught off guard by the sudden shift in her voice — not the words exactly, but the way they tried to mask the tension humming just beneath her skin. he didn’t smile. not right away. instead, he let his eyes settle on her for a beat longer than most would call comfortable — taking in the quick rise and fall of her chest, the way her knuckles still lingered near her heart like it hadn’t quite stopped racing yet. then, finally, a soft, dry chuckle left him. “ maybe you should look up more often, ” he said, voice even but not unkind. “ ‘saves you the theatrics. ”
he didn’t move away. didn’t tease her further. just shoved his hands deeper into the pockets of his coat, gaze flicking down the street like he was giving her space to catch her breath without asking why she needed it. after a moment, he added, quieter this time — “ …you okay though? my sister know your back in town? ”

she wishes she hadn't said anything. the words were pouring out before missy had even had a chance to get a good luck at whoever she was talking to. now that she has, her heart sinks and the color in her face nearly fades when eyes lock with margaret. coming back home meant missy was now face-to-face with all the skeletons left in her closet. only the other hadn't been something she prepared for. never thinking the two would ever cross paths again. that the three months they spent together was nothing more than memories to look back on: to reminisce about. reaction expected but doesn't make it hurt any less. her first words should be i'm sorry. sorry for leaving the way she had, sorry for giving an explanation or even something as simple as a goodbye text. missy should be explaining herself. only, that's not what she does. instead, the blond forces a soft smile on her face, eyes unable to pull themselves away from margaret. how she looks the same, but different all the same time. still just as capable of almost taking missy's breath away as she had when they first met. “ feel like i should be asking you that question. long way from — what, montana ? your hair's gotten longer ... it looks good. you look good. ”
eyes widen , heart sinking . “ oh fuck no , ” margaret mutters , fingers combing through loose locks , taking a few step backs as she assesses the ghost of a figure in front of her , “ i actually didn't want to fucking see you so . “ & she can't help the sailor mouth coming out , because right now she's looking at the last person she'd want to see in this town . someone who was supposed to being staying very far away . ” why are you even here ? " she prompts , brow raised , arms crossing over her chest . on the bright ( ? ) side , missy was looking gorgeous as ever — which for some reason left margaret feeling angrier . how dare she create a sense of longing ? whatever .

she should know better when it comes to keeping track of her surroundings, and she does, but being back in town makes her skin crawl. the idea that despite everything she's once said, her father still managed to find a way to drag her back to the town missy so desperately wanted to steer clear of. for good. it's the reason she keeps her head down and glued to her phone — already planning her next escape. it's why she doesn't hear them when they come up beside her and when she catches sight of their figure from the corner of her eye, the blonde nearly jumps. a singular hand rising to her chest from the fright. “ anybody ever tell you that you should come with a warning bell? ” words said in jest with a soft laugh that follows, phone screen darkening as she continues, “ 'cause if i didn't know any better, i'd think you were trying to give me a heart attack. ”

HER MISERY WASN'T LOUD ... JUST LOVELY ENOUGH TO GO UNNOTICED.
✶ APPLICATION.
❀ you’re not from around here , are you? i figured because you totally just missed misery "missy" nolan walking by. don’t tell me you don’t know who she is ? they kind of look like nicole wallace and i could be wrong but i think that they might be 25 years old right now. they’ve been living in palmview for the last most her life. and i don’t know if anyone has ever told them this before but they kind of remind me of alaska young from looking for alaska. if you stick around the town long enough you might catch them in action working at mango bay restaurant as a waitress. you see this town isn’t really that big of a place, some folks like to call them the enigma of palmview! they took a liking to the name too after a while, go figure. oh crap, they must have heard me yapping. they’re coming this way. i got to warn you though, rumor has it they can pretty flighty at times. i wouldn’t take it too seriously though, from the times i’ve spoken to them they seemed pretty warm spirited to me. we see each other all the time since they live in that 2 bedroom apartment beside me over in mango bay lofts. i better leave you to it. it was nice meeting you!
✶ BASIC INFORMATION .

✶ BACKSTORY.
triggers: verbal abuse, alcoholism, instance of violence, child neglect, death.
their first red flag was the night she was born. her name was suppose to be "mireya", but her father had been too drunk to give the doctors the correct name and her mother exhausted from more than just birth to give any corrections. so, that's who she became: misery. almost poetic in a sense when you think about how things turned out. a foreshadow almost. life growing up was as chaotic as one could picture. her mother seemingly numb to the world and her father more focused on getting his next bottle than do his part in being a boyfriend and a father. nights filled with the loud shouts of her father and the cries her mother tried to keep silent, but never seemed to manage. from a young age, missy always wondered why her mother put up with everything she did. why she stayed when every night ended in heartache. misery loved her mother and would go anywhere she would. only the sentiment was never shared. she'd only been five years old when her mother disappeared and left her only child behind. nothing but a note that she'd never gotten the chance to read before her father ripped it to shreds, tossed it in the garbage and twisted the lid open of his next whiskey bottle. misery never got to know what her mother's last words were before turning in a ghost. it was the night of her mother's disappearing that she learned that there was no one around who would be the one looking after her. she had to do it on her own and, on top of that, she had to be the one to also look after her father. that's how it went for years. misery fending for herself, turning her father on his side every night and waking up early enough in the mornings to ensure he'd been sober enough to get to work. by night, she'd been the replacement of her mother in her dad's eye. a face that reminded him so much of the woman who left that all his anger seemed to pour onto misery — countless nights ending the same way her mother's had until her skin grew tough enough that she didn't cry anymore. it didn't mean the words hurt any less. at the age of eighteen, that's when missy kissed goodbye the life she'd been forced to be apart of. it was another night of anger being thrown at her, but it was her final night of being a punching bag for all that rage. misery didn't keep quiet that time. no, she stood up for herself. said some equally awful things to her father (all true) and when he realized he couldn't break her in the same way, his hand struck her face. that was the end. it's almost as if life seemed to repeat itself: missy had become a ghost just like her mother did. packing up as much as she could into one duffle bag and hopped onto a bus with whatever cash she managed to save up throughout the years. leaving both her father and florida behind for good. becoming a ghost in people's lives is how she chooses to spend her years. hopping from town to town, state to state all while leaving her mark until the day she felt like she was ready for something new. jumping onto the next bus or train without as much of a goodbye to any of the friends she'd met along the way. it's always been easier that way for her. a girl scared of building true connections and preferring to keep everyone at the surface.
the only dream she's ever had was to see the world, focus on her present and not have to waste her time worrying about what's happened or what could come next. she thrives with living in the moment and that's how she prefers it. the only reason she’d come back to town was to bury her father. she didn’t want to go. for her father had been dead and mourned long before his actual departure, but despite it all, she can’t bring herself to be that cruel. even if she hated her father, there’s a part of her that can’t deny that she also loved him. but, of course, coming back home didn’t come without it’s issues — a house that she wants nothing to do with, but somehow has become her problem. right now her only goal is fix up the disaster of house, sell it and finally disappear from palmview for good.
