“ mosquito on the dashboard. works every time. ” he’d never used that excuse himself, but he’d seen enough people trying to swat away at a bug that managed to get inside the car to know that it could work ─ better than her old one, at least. still, the slight grin tugging at his lips gave away that he was only half serious. “oh, yeah. character.” adrian laughs at that, shaking his head a bit. although he doesn’t know why exactly she’s keen on keeping it a secret ( and it’s not any of his business anyway ), he doesn’t see why he can’t abide to it. it doesn’t inconvenience him in any way, shape or form, which is probably why he’s okay with it. “ lucky for you, i can keep a secret. ” far too well, but that’s not something he needs to advertise, is it? “ you should be more careful, though. might end up scratching more than just your car one of these days. ”

ava nodded her head in approval. mosquito on the dashboard was definitely a viable excuse, and more importantly one she hadn’t used before. “nasty little bugs. they’re just everywhere there’s no getting away from them.” she tried it out before letting a small chuckle escape from her throat. she felt the smile fade from her lips at the warning. he sounded just like lysander, which was exactly the person she was trying to keep out of this. she knew somewhere deep down it was true, which only made her want to hear it even less. “listen,” she started, licking her lips in frustration, “we can’t all be good at this stuff.” she wasn’t sure if she meant this stuff as in driving or just paying more attention to her surroundings.

Ava’s silence wasn’t necessarily a comforting thing for the little sister who thrived off of approval and attention. She picked up a pillow, placing it in her lap as her hands began to knead the soft material. “What I mean to say is…” she draws in a deep breath, slightly nervous as to her sister’s reaction, considering it meant more to her than anything, “Rye and I are giving it a go… I know it’s a lot, bringing new people this close to us, but I trust him.” She chuckled just a bit, half a grin coming on her face. “Yeah, definitely. I have a spotless record of only sleeping with single guys,” at least in her free time, that is. She was unapologetic as she flipped her hair over her shoulder, “Well, what do you expect? I was a baby beloved by America. Obviously, everything after that doesn’t compare.”

“oh.” was all ava could manage to get out at first. she wasn’t sure if she was meant to feel happy, or be skeptical of a new person coming into their lives. quite frankly she wasn’t sure how she felt about new people, but finally her mouth turned up into a smile. “that’s great. i’m happy for you.” and it was true - she would never let her own feelings get in the way of her sisters happiness. a small scoff escaped her lips, looking at her sister in disbelief. “what are you talking about? you may not be a baby anymore, but you’re still beloved by america.” sometimes ava resented her for that - the fact that her sister was still in the spotlight, loved by the entire nation. unlike herself her sister wasn’t famous by association, she was actually doing something with her life.

maddie was standing there, trying not to laugh at the scene that was unfolding in front of her. “yeah, i mean, i tried to hold the lamppost back, but it was to strong for me to hold him back.”she commented as she ran a hand through her hair as she watched the other. “you know, these darn light posts, they just like to come out of no where.”

“it’s like they have a mind of their own, ya’ know.” she said, shrugging her shoulders. “what can you do?” ava stepped out of the car and gave it a quick once over. it looked fine, and really that was all that mattered to her. “i’m sure it’ll be fine.” she said, not sure if she was trying to convince herself or the other girl more.

ava nodded her head in response. she was fine, just a little shaken up and embarrassed about the whole thing. she felt a smile tug at her lips at the returning joke, however, leaving out that things like this seemed to happen to her more than others. “thanks for asking.” it was reassuring to know at least he wasn’t judging her. “i don’t know what i expected when you started walking over here, but it definitely was not this.”

“You tell anyone I stole this from my Dad’s stash and I’ll kill you myself, got it?” He asked in a slightly serious tone as he pulled a tall bottle of vodka from out of his backpack. “I could’ve just bought my own but something about drinking alcohol that doesn’t belong to you makes it taste that much sweeter.” He added with a mischievous laugh, tugging the top off of the bottle and looking at the other. “I’m not drinking alone, am I?” 

“wow, i’m hurt.” alexis said, holding her hand up to her chest in mock pain. “do i look like a tattle-tale?” eyelids fluttered to sell her story even more. she certainly was in no position to judge him, seeing as she, too, had questionable methods for getting what she wanted lately. no, she would take whatever she could get her little hands on and if he was offering there was no sense in saying no. “but i suppose i can forgive the accusation, though, seeing as you come bearing gifts”

“Yeah…” Carina said as she felt her face get warm, therefore, looking down at her folded hands in her lap, “You know what some people say… more often than not, the person you choose just so happens to be your best friend…” It wasn’t a secret at all that Rye and Carina were close. In fact, she had been asked, on several occasions, if there would ever be anything more to them. Stubbornly, her answer had always been no, but maybe that was because she knocked it before she tried it. “No!” she laughed, rapidly shaking her head as she laid back on the couch, one hand finding the back of Wrigley’s head as she began to gently scratch, “I’m not that kind of slut, Ava.” At least unpaid, she isn’t. The Cubs players themselves were clean, but it was the other staff to watch out for. She’d expose every toxic male in that clubhouse if it didn’t expose that she was the one they all paid to sleep with at some time or another. “I mean, don’t they require, like, a lot of attention? Possibly even more than I require.”

ava didn’t have a best friend, nor did she think it would be fair to drag anyone else into her problems. she felt bad enough for the things her siblings had to endure from her and they didn’t even know the half of it. she would never tell her sister that no, she didn’t get it, or how afraid she was that she was messing everything up, so instead she continued to pester the younger westwood. “so married men are off the table. got it.” she replied, smirking. this she could do. the joking around, pretending everything was fine. “i don’t know, carina.” a small shrug of her shoulders “you’ve always been pretty needy. especially when you were a baby.”

THE MICK - 2.04 “The Haunted”

[effcrvcsnt]

╰ ♡ MUSE 83, KATIE STEVENS, CISFEM ┊ have you seen ALEXIS VALENTI around hillston? the 22 year old is said to be a COLLEGE STUDENT. the neighbours would say that they’re NAIVE and IRRESPONSIBLE, but they’re actually CAPABLE and AMBITIOUS. SHE often reminds people of three gucci hand bags, thick rimmed sunglasses, martinis in the afternoon. watch out, though. you wouldn’t believe that WITH HER BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN SHE'S TURNED TO SHOPLIFTING TO KEEP UP HER LIFESTYLE.

Looking at Alexis Valenti now you would never believe that she was a normal, down to earth girl just three years ago. That she was on the honor roll, wore non designer shoes, and was a good kid because she thought she would have to work to secure her future. 

She’s a total diva, and who could blame her? She went from a nobody to a socialite literally over night. She was somebody now. 

Once a straight  A student Alexis is now barely getting by in school and is seconds away from flunking out, but who cares right? She’s got the rest of her life made. 

Being somebody got her into all the cool parties, keeping up with all the cool trends. It wasn’t long before the money, power, and new status all went to her head.

Shortly after her 21st birthday Alexis was caught drunk driving and charged with a DUI. Money can get you out of just about anything, but it unfortunately didn’t make mommy and daddy any less mad. They decided to cut her off until she could get her act together which, unfortunately, still hasn’t happened. 

Alexis has found other ways to keep up with the lifestyle she so loves now, the major one being shoplifting. She can’t be seen in something out of season, it would just tarnish her new image. 

She finds herself spiraling more and more out of control the longer she keeps up this facade. It’s almost like the girl has no shame - except when it comes to her past and her family’s true origins. She will stop at literally nothing to keep the family secrets under wraps.

like usual like this if you want to plot with alexis, or feel free to message me. i’ll add more if i think of it. <3

“Hey, Wrigley could be a great athlete if he wants to be.” Carina grinned, biting on her lower lip as she leaned back, the amount of smug energy that radiated off of her could have fogged up the room, “I wasn’t talking about Kris Bryant,” she laughed, “Oh god, if he were the one responsible for my newest adventure into monogamy, I’m sure his wife would kill me. I’m awful, but I’m not that awful.” She crossed her arms, a little sparkle falling into her eye accompanied by a shaking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Those couldn’t possibly be butterflies, could they? “Let’s just say… apparently, I just learned Wrigley’s big brown eyes aren’t the only ones in this town I can’t say no to…” A sigh came out of her nose as her shoulders fell, “Would you? I’m honestly a little bit terrified that I’m totally gonna fuck this up.”

ava offered a chuckle in response, glancing at the puppy. “oh really?” if there was some new guy in carina’s life ava wanted to hear all about it but she wouldn’t pry. she knew better than to pry. so she settled for some light hearted teasing instead. “his wife may not like it, but i’m certainly not judging.” she said, throwing her hands up in a mock surrender, “he’s cute; almost as cute as wrigley here.” ava rolled her eyes as if to tell her sister she didn’t even have to ask. she certainly wouldn’t have offered if she didn’t mean it. “you’ll do fine, i know it. besides it’s just a puppy how hard can it be?”

lysander was on his way to catch the younger westwoods attention when he become a spectator to the minor fender bender. “ava…” the mechanic calls, sprinting over towards the driver side window, checking she wasn’t injured before he unleashed his brotherly lecture. yet he’s also mildly distracted by the fact he would need to mend the vehicle asap. the two westwood sisters had spent their entire lives knowing lysander resented them paying someone to do something he could do for free. and most of the time, better. “one day you’re going to actually hurt yourself.” he grunts, resting his palms on the rim of the cool car roof.

it was just her luck that of all people to witness this unfortunate mishap her brother would be the one. it wasn’t that she didn’t want him around, she adored him, which was the precise reason she didn’t want him to have to worry about her. “i’m fine.” she assured him, motioning for him to step aside so that she could step out of the vehicle and take a look.  “one day is not today.” as much as she didn’t want to worry she couldn’t deny the fact that he had every reason to.  “how bad is it?” she could see the dent she had caused perfectly fine for herself, but it couldn’t hurt to ask his professional opinion.

Jude didn’t drive much, not seeing any real point when most of the places he frequented weren’t that far away. Today, this meant he got a pretty great view of some poor soul completely missing the mark, but not the light post. Nice. “Oh, yeah, no, I get it. They only installed it, what, an hour ago? Easy mistake.” He quipped, at least making an attempt to hide his amusement. Maybe he should like…make sure she was alright? That’s common courtesy, he’s sure. “You alright, though?”

her nose scrunched up at the remark as she realized how silly she must have sounded. surely by now she should have learned her lesson, or at least gotten more cautious behind the wheel, but here she was. “i’m fine.” she remarked, craning her head for a better view. truth be told she was more worried about the vehicle than herself. “you think anyone will notice?” another silly remark but she was nothing if not determined to keep this little thing under wraps.

“He’s so cute,” Carina admired as the little puppy came scurrying down the stairs and sat himself on the couch next to her, pacing about on his small paws, “A little too hyper for my taste but, like how I was persuaded into monogamy, when Kris,” as in Kris Bryant, one of the many famous MLB names she dropped around familiar company, “sent me a picture of him, I couldn’t just let him go.”

“now that we can agree on.” ava replied, shooting her sister a smile. “although, you do realize you just compared your puppy to a famous athlete?” she teased. to anyone else the name drop may have been surprising, but not to ava. not coming from her little sister at least. “i’d be happy to step in if her ever gets to be too much.” sure the puppy was cute, but the offer was made not fully understanding how much work a pet could be when you didn’t have any help with it, but surely had carina asked the offer would have stood. ava would do just about anything for her siblings, even if it meant walking around town with a doggy bag attached to her hand.

he’d been just finishing up a business call when he heard the unmistakable noise, gaze instantly searching around his surroundings for the source of it as he slipped his phone back into his pocket. it hadn’t been difficult to identify where the sound had come from and, although the plate wasn’t particularly familiar, he decided to approach anyway just in case. “ i’m afraid we’re not far enough into the future to have light posts that do that. ” adrian teased before stepping towards the back of her car, taking a look at the damage. “ if it makes you feel any better, it doesn’t look that bad. no dent, just a bit of a scratch. should be easy to fix. ”

it did make her feel better. the less damage to the car, and herself, the less explaining she would have to do later. “guess i’ll have to find another excuse, then.” she shrugged it off. truth be told this was probably something that would be kept between the two of them if she had any say in it. it wasn’t the first of these little driving errors she had made in the past few months and it probably wouldn’t be the last. “actually, i think it kind of gives it character. maybe we can keep this our little secret?” she eyed him, holding her finger to her lips to gesture that it was to be kept quiet. “no sense in getting everybody all worked up over such a small little scratch, right?”

“oh, shit.” ava didn’t often curse unless the situation called for it, and this one certainly did. upon discovering there was limited parking at the diner she insisted on getting her lunch from she had backed right over the curb and into a light post. parallel parking had never been her strong suit - hell, DRIVING had never been her strong suit, but she wasn’t exactly sure how she was going to explain this. she thought about making a quick get away for a split second before the other person approached, sending the idea off. “that post came out of no where!” she joked, trying to make light of the situation

‘ management says i have to do a takeover for team’s social media platforms. ’ dark brows furrow together while his phone is currently in his hand, looking more of a foreign concept then anything now with all these apps he downloaded at request was now supposed to use. he was a man of simple creature comforts, usually only using his phone for texting or calling, he wasn’t even sure he had any followers.  ‘  you wouldn’t happen to know how to work the snapchat or the bird one- would you?  ’

at first ava wasn’t sure if it was her he was talking to or not, but after coming to the realization that it must be a small smile tugged at her lips. she wasn’t exactly what you would call tech savvy, but she could navigate her way through snapchat and the bird one. “well lucky for you you’ve come to the right girl. i’m pretty popular on both.” popular was a term used loosely as any following she had came from her last name and not from her actual posts, but she would keep that to herself. “no one’s ever asked me to do a take over before, though. that’s pretty impressive.”

╰ ♡  MUSE 32, IMOGEN POOTS, CISFEMALE ┊ have you seen AVALINE “AVA” WESTWOOD around hillston? the 27 year old is said to be a/n UNEMPLOYED. the neighbours would say that they’re IMPULSIVE and SPOILED, but they’re actually CHARISMATIC and LOVING. SHE often reminds people of designer bags, sports cars, early morning drives. watch out, though. you wouldn’t believe that SHE’S TAKING HER FATHERS DEATH HARDER THAN SHE’S LET ON AND HAS TURNED TO PARTYING TO HELP. ( gloom, mst, 22, she her)

Ava was always the child every parent wants. Good looking, smart, kind, good grades, and never got into any real trouble. In fact you could argue that her only real flaw was how terribly spoiled she was, but who could really blame her? 

She grew up never really wanting for anything. She always had the newest toys, and when she grew up the most expensive shoes and clothes, and she never really had to work for any of it. 

As a child she was very ambitious. She spent a good chunk of her life in dance classes, although her ambition soon ran out as one can only expect from someone who gets everything in life handed to them. 

Ava was nice enough when you got to know her but she was always kind of shy and tried to keep to herself and to her inner circle. Most people after suffering a major loss become reclusive or quiet, but for Ava it did the opposite. She started to go out more, branch out of her comfort zone, and is much more charismatic now. It almost seems harmless. 

What most people don’t know is it’s not all harmless. What started off as a few drinks here and there to numb the pain has started to become a problem, and what was once just a small inner circle has widened to include what most people would call “the wrong crowd” at first it had been a slow descent, but the fact that her father’s cash flow is depleting and her mothers trotting around the world has only pushed her closer to the edge at an alarming and much quicker rate

Ava always thought one day her father would realize the error in his ways and want to be apart of her and her siblings lives, which is why she took his death so hard. Even though they weren’t close it felt like something important had been ripped away from her causing her to spiral out of control, and it’s only getting worse with no end in sight. Feel free to message or like this for plots, and I’ll probably add more on as I think of it. I’m super excited to be here and to interact with you all!
