Well that is fair enough. You have a 3 year old too, how do you find it? To be honest adults acting like children is very annoying, however I think the whole experience just heightened everyone's emotions. I am so greatful to be back home, I didn't have the worst time but honestly nothing else beats my own bed and house you know.

Oh, trust me, I would've handled the three year old just fine being a mother of one myself. It's the grown adults acting like children that really tested my patience. No, I didn’t get to move around like you did. It was a thrill being trapped in one place with all the excitement of a moldy cafeteria. But hey, at least we had fresh vegetables the first couple days. How about you? You doing okay now that you're back home?

TINA: so I thought I saw you at Starbucks this morning, but it turns out it was not you. So you have a a doppelgänger out there named Anastasia. But, it got me thinking of you. How are you?

   Jamie knew how tried Winnie was, after playing with Baxter, painting and baking with her great grandfather. He knew she would be happy to hang out with him, just like how much he enjoyed playing with her. His grandfather did love Winnie and treated her like one of his own which was something that Jamie never questioned. Jamie had grabbed the teddy bear that his grandfather had gotten her when they went to the mall as he carried his sleeping daughter. 

He smiled as he closed his car door and knocked on the door and waited for Serena to answer.

“It’s a left right here.” Serena recognized the road like it was just yesterday she was living there. Though, it was an entire lifetime ago. Serena took a deep breath as she exited the car. “Thank you.” She closed the door behind her before taking a step up onto the curb. As she took in the view of the house, it took everything in her to not turn around and jump right back into the Uber. Biting down onto her bottom lip, her exit window to escape drove off and almost instantly her phone chimed in her bag to signal the last of her battery life. With slow footing, the blondge managed to make it to the front door and before her hand could reach up to knock, the door was opened and the familiar figure of her former life partner stood before her. “Mason...” She smiled awkwardly. “How the hell are ya? I was just in the area... thought i’d stop by and say.... hello.”

They totally are. Uhm, it would have. I would have killed it. Oh really? That would be awesome! You won't be disappointed.

Awards are always a bit of a letdown. If you had played John Smith, I can’t decide if it would’ve been a masterpiece or just an exercise in self-indulgence. Odds are we know the same casting directors, but sure, go ahead and send over your headshots. I’ll make a few calls from my office on monday.

Fifteen more minutes until close, and Danielle was counting down actually. Not that she didn’t love her regulars and everyone that came in, it had just been a long night. The brunette just hoped that no one else came in. Especially since it was last call. But she heard the door open and that was when she seen the other brunette. Serena. The girl had teased her in high school, and hadn’t been the most friendliest person towards Dani. This woman couldn’t be the same as what she had been back then right? Danielle certainly wasn’t, even though she still loved to read, and loved her family. That was just something that wouldn’t change. But that didn’t mean that Serena was still the same person she once knew. So instead of having the other bartender wait on the brunette, Dani made the decision to do it herself. Be the bigger person or whatever.  “Welcome to Flanigan’s what can I get you? Just so you know we are on last call.”

Jacen had seen very well how the woman he’d married for the sheer revenge of it all had opted to carelessly spend money. Sure it was for charity or whatever, but it was also the fact that she had yet to give him a single penny of the money he’d requested. That was at the end of the day all he felt he deserved. The least that she could do, and yet she had yet to do it, so he was turning up the heat on the situation. She wouldn’t give it to him, he would break some laws of his own, break into her apartment and start selling off and moving her things. He got nothing, she didn’t deserve anything. Sometimes he wondered how his mother would react to the man he’d become and then he realized that it didn’t matter because she died saving a girl that couldn’t be bothered to remember the sacrifices.

Anger coursed through him as he thought about the fact that he grew up and was now living without the only person that had mattered in his life because of her and her family. His mother hadn’t deserved to die, nor had she deserved to pay for someone else being a supernatural. She was just a maid in a house where supernaturals lived, and yet she paid for just trying to make ends meet. He heaved a sigh as he headed to pick up Serena. He’d rented a truck to move Liv’s stuff out in. “Hey, beautiful, I hope you’re prepared to break some laws because we’re about to ruin a life tonight,” he told her with a hint of a wicked smile. He gave her a sideways hug as he greeted her.

"Sounds very..." Brandon searched for the correct word to describe Serena's summary of the book... "challenging," he finally settled on. He'd never really been good at reading and sticking to the advice found in self help books. They made him feel like he wasn't doing quite enough, which was probably the point to be honest. He was happy that it was working for her though. With a nod, Brandon made his way over the counter and ordered two London Fogs. He waited the few moments before heading back, drinks in hand. "It's funny," he began as he handed over her drink, "I'm really bad at reading self help books, but I enjoy a good TED talk."

Landon could feel a set of eyes on him. With the newly lit spliff between his fingers, he looked up. A moment of shifting eye contact, checking to see if they were looking at him or if it was just in his head before he opened his mouth. “Did you, like, want a hit?” He asked, voice a bit sluggish.

TINA: I had a lot of fun the other night 😘 TINA: also have you seen my Savage x Fenty pink bra?? it's one of my good bras!! @serenaxsmythe

Well I don't think we got left in a room together and by the sounds of it I am glad we didn't. I don't think you would have been able to deal with a 3 year old there too. It has been nice to be back home and to be able to check in on everyone and be able to contact friends and family. How bad was being stuck in one place for the whole time or did you move around like I did?

I hope everyone’s had a nice, cozy reunion with running water and wi-fi. After all that time pretending to be survival experts in shelters, I’m sure we’re all just thriving right now. I overheard someone calling it a 'forced detox' that no one asked for, and I’m sorry, excuse you? Am I the only one who thinks this was like living like cavemen with slightly better hair products? And speaking of hair, if anyone so much as suggests a natural glow up post lockdown, I’m blocking you. Some of us survived on dry shampoo and attitude. Anyway, now that the world’s sort of back to normal (whatever that means), I can’t wait to never be stuck in a room with half of you again. Welcome back to your boring lives, everyone.

Atalia had been alternating visiting Briony and Chryson, only taking small breaks to eat or stretch her legs. She’d left Levi with Chryson, with the excuse of needing some fresh air, and had quickly left St. Mungos, though she didn’t go far. Rounding the corner, she slammed her hand against the wall. First she had to worry about the Death Eaters attacking the ones she loved because of their choices, but now she had to worry about the Blood Thieves? Atalia slammed her fist against the wall again before hearing someone walk up. “What do you want,” she asked with a slight groan, turning around. “I’m not--Serena?”

   Jamie smiled as he carried two drinks in his hands and walked towards Serena. Jamie understood Serena, he knew that she needed to have some fun but leaving Winnie at home was hard so he was trying his best to distract her. Make sure she had some fun for once and not worry too much. “Here you go,” he spoke voice warm and soft as he handed the other a glass of champagne. “Having fun?” he asked taking a sip of his own drink.

paradisemuse‌:

It was almost like a trigger at this point, to hear her say anything along the lines of her being sober. The first time, even the second, maybe still the third time the person you’re in love with tries to get clean all you want to do is root for them but each time they fall off the wagon? It just gets harder to believe their desperate attempt to make the people they care about believe them. He wanted to be with her, to have his family but the drugs always came out in front and eventually he had to choose. It hadn’t been an easy thing. Truthfully, if it weren’t for River and having to keep himself going for her sake, he wasn’t sure if he would’ve gotten through it as seemingly smooth as he had. Looking her up and down a second to try and pick up on whether she was telling him the truth or not, he pulled his arm out of her reach quickly. “I’ve heard it before.” Referring to her not being on anything while dismissing the compliment. “How long you’ve been clean for this time?” 

Everyday was a challenge when you’re an addict. Yes, Serena had try to get clean many times and failed but it took a hard night on their daughters birthday that Serena really missed her daughter and realized how much she was missing. “one hundred and fifty three days....” She said in almost a whisper. Nobody really could grasp how even if you’re clean, there is always the itch that  you can’t scratch. She just hoped all these months of being clean she could see her daughter.
