I know how tough your coach can be, Jas. 

Hmm.. what makes you think I’m stressed?

[the-alypuckerman]

I think I just quit my job..

Is everything okay, dad?

[the-alypuckerman]

Stress, most likely. 

I’m so damn tired lately.. I don’t know where it’s coming from..

[the-alypuckerman]

"Hey. Everything's going to be alright, okay? It'll all work out. I promise you that, Evie." Seeing her sister start to calm down helped Alyssa feel more at ease, but she still couldn't help but feel bad for when she'd have to head off back to college. "Are you sure? If you need me here...I can work something out." Aly placed both hands on either side of her sisters shoulder, as a way to show she was serious. "If you really need me here, don't wait til after I've gone back. I'm here for you, Evelyn."

FACE TO FACE → I'M HOME

Sometimes, everyone just needed their big sister, or brother, or whatever. There was only one person who could calm those fears and make her feel as though maybe, just maybe, things weren’t too bad after all. 

"I know, I guess it’s what they think is right though, just because they did it." She couldn’t do it, and she would never be able to do it. Jonah was only going to add to her life, not ruin it. "No, don’t do that… college is important."

"Very cheesy, and a false statement. You know I just woke up two hours ago, right?" Aly felt her cheeks burning as a blush crept onto her face. "You've gotten taller.." Being in his presence gave Alyssa butterflies, whether she had a boyfriend or not, those feeling would probably still remain there for Elijah. To avoid anything from feeling awkward, she grabbed Eli's arm, dragging him to the furthest away table from the door. "I figured sitting back here would save us from the cold" She placed a strand of her behind her ear and looked right into his eyes.

FACE TO FACE → STARBUCKS

Eli’s day had’t consisted of anything too exciting— in fact the most fun thing he’d done all day was reorganize his entire bedroom from top to bottom. So, it was sort of an understatement to say he was grateful for the chance to reconnect with Aly. He’d always taken a liking to her— sometimes, more than he’d ever really admit— and he really liked their banter. He knew he was sort of out of her league, though, so even after all this time, he’d still managed to keep himself somewhat distanced. He headed into Starbucks, his pale cheeks flushing slightly from both the cold of the outdoors and the sight of Aly in front of him. “Hi.” He grinned, biting his lip. “Is it cheesy if I tell you you look nice?”

[the-alypuckerman]

That's what I said, yes.

Intimidating? Really?

[the-alypuckerman]

I... don't know.

You can be really intimidating.

Then what?

[the-alypuckerman]

There is no big deal.. I uh... never mind.

Then what’s the big deal? And why comment?

[the-alypuckerman]

Well, yes but...y'know. I still didn't need to know.

What? It’s just… a natural part of life and all that shit. And it’s true.

[the-alypuckerman]

I really did not need that piece of information, Mase.

Fuck… I’m feeling really horny.

FACE TO FACE → STARBUCKS

The house had been empty most of the day and Alyssa got bored of sitting around pretty fast. After texting Elijah most of yesterday and today, they'd agreed to meet up at Starbucks. The brunette felt nervous, and she had absolutely no idea why. Maybe it was because she hadn't seen Elijah in so long, or maybe it was because she felt something she used to years and years ago. But either way, Aly couldn't help but smile when she saw him approach her. "Hi."

[the-alypuckerman]

You're getting sappy on me now, dad. Why?

You’re a good kid, you know that?

[the-alypuckerman]

At that moment in time, Aly was glad she'd come home when she did. Seeing her sister in such a state was tearing her apart, and quite frankly she didn't know if she could leave so soon. "I'll talk to mom about it...or I'll at least try." The brunette let out a huge sigh, she was practically talking into her sisters hair now. 

Aly could see the light in Evie's eyes from a mile away, and it was melting her heart. "Evie, they can't expect you to make the same decisions they did. If this is what you want, then mom had better get used to it." Thoughts were racing through Alyssa's mind like wildfire, "Evie...what if I stay longer? I can't drop out of college but, I don't know, maybe I could just stay here for a while." 

FACE TO FACE → I'M HOME

The blonde nodded, glad her big sister was there as she cuddled into her and closed her eyes. She and Aly had been close growing up, and she could remember crying when they had to drop the other girl off at college, begging her parents to either move closer or let her go to college, too. Of course, to no avail. She bit down on her lip and thought about it for a second, “I-I don’t know? I think she’s already made up her mind, I let her down and there’s no going back.. dad let slip that he and mom had a baby in high school, when she was my age and they gave her up for adoption, so mom thinks it’s like.. the best thing in the world. But.. I don’t know.” 

"I know, and I love him so much… you should have seen his little face when we got the 4D scan.. he’s so beautiful. And Wyatt.. his face lit up like I’ve never seen it before, he was happy.. a-and so was I.. I couldn’t do what they did. And let my kids find out when they’re older that they have a brother out there somewhere, who may or may not be okay.. I couldn’t."

✉️Aly/Eli

Eli: I like my sleep.

Eli: get some hehehe hahaha

Eli: but yes.

Aly: Oh my god, Eli. You didn't just...

Aly: Starbucks?

[the-alypuckerman]

I guess that's true.

Had to at some point right?

[the-alypuckerman]

✉️Aly/Eli

Eli: ...ditched you for more sleep sorry not sorry

Eli: You do? I could use one myself. What a coincidence.

Aly: How dare you, Elijah.

Aly: Maybe we should go get some.

[the-alypuckerman]

You look ridiculous. That has never been cool, Theo.

I think I could totally pull off this whole backwards hat look.
