❛        (        the  beach  was  an  amazing  sight  right  about  now,  the  beauty  of  the  sunset  across  the  horizon  was  this  sight  that  brought  a  sense  of  normalcy  to  stryker.    to  see  a  beauty  like  that  was  everything,  to  see  the  mixture  of  colours  grace  the  sky  and  most  importantly  the  serenity.    he  spends  a  good  part  of  his  life  on  the  beach  because  of  his  profession,  “  you  ever  think  about,  what  if  everything  was  different  ?    what  if  you  weren’t  who  you  are  now  ?    what  if  you  missed  that  one  moment  in  your  life  ?    do  you  ever  think  about  all  the  what  ifs  ?  ”  he  asked,  his  eyes  still  focused  on  the  horizon  with  fingers  digging  into  the  cool  sand.

     𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘  out ,  the  sun  gifting  them  with  the  last  rays  of  the  day  as  he  sat  next  to  the  surfer ,  hands  playing  with  the  sand  grains  under  his  palms  in  a  rare  moment  of  simple  contemplation .  the  question  brings  him  out  of  his  own  thoughts  and  he  turns  to  stryker  with  a  raised  eyebrow .  “ have  you  been  watching  bendersnatch  lately ,  dude ? ”  but  he  knows  exactly  what  stryker  means ,  and  yes ,  he  has  thought  about  that  more  than  he  should .  “ there  are  too  many  what  ifs  out  there ,  man .  that’s  a  sure  way  to  lose  your  mind . ”  or  have  an  anxiety  attack .

“has anyone mentioned how down to earth you are?” he asked, forcing back the urge to laugh at the other’s comments. it wasn’t as though comments like that were unheard of around town, and with how famous most people were, it wouldn’t be too surprising if the claims were true. “i don’t know, i think i’d go with soccer over baseball. might be because i’m always worried someone is going to let the bat go during baseball. i’d take being hit with a ball over a bat any day of the week.” 

     "  𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 ,  𝐘𝐄𝐒 .  𝐈 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓  a  lot  on  interviews , ”  he  replies  cheekily .  and  he  isn’t  lying .  that  sort  of  comments  he  had  been  spilling  to  the  ackerman  boy  would  have  never  left  his  mouth  if  they  had  been  in  public ,  percy  knows  better  than  that .  there’s  a  face  for  every  situation .  somestimes  too  many  of  those .  “ no ,  dude ,  no .  baseball  is  the  single  best  sport  out  there , ”  he  shakes  his  head .  it  was  his  second  passion ,  after  all .  “ to  be  fair ,  if  you  get  hit  with  a  baseball  you’re  fucked  too . ”

“know any middle eastern billionaires?” he quipped, though he wouldn’t be surprised if the answer he got was ‘yes’. most people around town seemed to travel more than him, which would give them more chance to meet important people. “can you imagine buying sports teams just because you were bored and wanted something to do? it’s a dream really.” 

     𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 ,  𝐁𝐔𝐓 ,  unfortunately ,  comes  up  empty .  “ no ,  but  i  can  talk  to  my  manager .  that  dude  knows  everyone  with  money .  i’m  sure  he  can  find  us  a  billionaire  with  a  teenage  daughter  dying  to  meet  me . ”  he  hated  that  kind  of  meet  and  greets ,  but  for  a  waterpark  boat ,  he’d  do  it .  “ yeah .  i  don’t  get  why  they  always  go  for  soccer ,  though .  baseball  is  where  it’s  at . ”

“you always did have a soft spot in your heart for me and you know it. i’ve been posted on your instagram i mean come on p.” she smirked up at him and shook her head. she knew that he often only did it to wind people up and hell if she hadn’t done the same before. percy was trouble and any one that tangled with him should have known that - people that let themselves get hurt by him were fools but she knew that it was harder to resist him more than most. “well then look like we’re shit out of luck and on tomorrow gossip feed.” she shrugged, it wouldn’t be the first and it sure as hell wouldn’t be the last. “my place, it’s all empty.” she hummed making no effort to his the type of look that she was giving him as the driver quickly opened the door for her and she stepped in keeping her head down low and her hand linked with percy’s.

     𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄 ,  but  the  smile  he  sends  her  way  should  be  enough .  ophelia  will  always  be  his  friend  first ,  and  that  was  enough  to  get  her  a  large  spot  in  his  heart ,  even  if  most  of  the  time  he  was  shit  saying  and  showing  that .  “ i  did .  that’s  as  close  to  a  ring  as  i’ve  ever  gotten  with  anyone . ”  his  ex-boyfriend  hadn’t  gotten  that ,  so  it  wasn’t  a  stretch .  “ yep ,  i’m  not  dealing  with  twitter  anymore . ”  though  he  doubted  ophelia  would  be  the  only  topic  of  conversations .  fuck .  he  really  shouldn’t  have  gone  talk  to  mason .  well ,  that  was  a  worry  for  tomorrow .  “ good .  your  mom  doesn’t  need  to  see  me  in  my  underwear  again , ”  he  jokes .

“whatever you want, huh?” it did seem sometimes that all someone needed was to be famous, in order to get away with whatever they did, but that was too heavy to speak about, especially while he was telling himself the other was joking. “how do we go about that? ask everyone we know if they have one? if nobody does, we seriously need to re-evaluate our friendships because they’d have no idea what fun truly is.” 

     𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐘 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐘 𝐒𝐇𝐑𝐔𝐆𝐒 , 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄'𝐒 𝐍𝐎  point  in  denying  it  or  feeling  shame  over  it .  he  doesn’t  make  the  rules ,  he’s  not  the  one  forcing  the  world  to  worship  the  ground  celebrities  walk  on .  he’s  just  lucky  enough  to  enjoy  the  perks .  “ we  could  start  with  middle  eastern  billionaires .  those  dudes  buy  sports  teams  for  breakfast ,  they  gotta  have  some  crazy  shit  like  that . ”

“i’ve done more than see it and you damn well know it - but know see the magic thing is, you still talk to me once i’ve actually touched it.” she taunted him softly. sure he wasn’t great at emotions but it wasn’t like she was one huge open book either, hollywood made it too easy to get your heart broken and she wasn’t about to let percy or anyone else break her. “what because we’ve never been a cover story before? it’s about time they found someone knew to write about, i’m sure they’ve got lost of options for the night.” ophelia shrugged, people had been speculating about the status of their friendship for years. “this playsuit makes my legs look great but it’s hard to pee in…so please take the damn thing off.” she huffed with a small laugh, linking their fingers as he took her hand, following him to the exit of the party, she’d text her family later right now she just wanted to leave even if they’d have to face the press first.

     “  𝐎𝐊𝐀𝐘 , 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀  point  there , ”  he’s  tiltings  his  head ,  that  smile  that  has  won  over  millions  of  teenager  girls  flashing  brightly .  he  had  lost  count  of  how  many  people  he  had  slept  with  ⏤  he  didn’t  know  he  was  supposed  to  keep  count  ⏤ ,  but  the  number  of  those  he  still  talked  (  or  even  remembered  the  name  )  was  much  lower .  yeah ,  maybe  that  was  the  miracle .  “ i  don’t  know ,  things  have  been  kind  of  dead  tonight . ”  which ,  really ,  it  was  a  surprise  if  you  considered  the  number  of  egos  there   that  night .  as  long  as  they  stopped  talking  about  his  scandal  ⏤  yeah ,  he  had  gotten  a  dui ,  move  on  ⏤ ,  he  would  be  happy .  he  sends  a  quick  message  to  his  driver  and  by  the  time  they’re  outside ,  the  car  is  already  waiting .  “ your  place ? ”  he  asks  as  the  flashes  attack  them .

“fine.” he sighed dramatically. “no jail for you, if only to save your face. i don’t need a bunch of your fans coming after me for ruining it.” shaking his head, he scoffed at the other’s next comment, glaring over at percy. “wow.” the word was drawn-out for extra effect. “that’s rude. you can’t just not invite people.” even if that was precisely what he’d been doing. “too bad we don’t actually know someone with a waterpark boat, now i really want to go on one.” 

     𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐒 , 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘  would  indeed  come  after  the  other  boy  viciously .  they  were  his  very  own  army  and  you  would  not  want  to  be  on  their  bad  side .  “ dude ,  i’m  a  pop  star ,  i  can  do  whatever  the  hell  i  want , ”  he  quips  smugly .  and  wasn’t  that  the  truth ?  the  last  few  months  might  have  been  a  mess ,  but  it  had  only  made  that  clearer .  “ someone  must  have  one  of  those ,  bro .  we  just  gotta  figure  out  who . ”  or  he  might  just  have  to  find  a  way  to  really  get  his  own .

“maybe with the people you’ve never slept with before but i’ve known you since you were 15 perseus.” she chuckled with a small shake of her head, the world had been a whole lot simpler when they were younger and no one really cared what they did. ophelia could tell straight away that was a story for someone who was sober and she wasn’t going to push him to talk about it. “okay no talking, just distracting.” she hummed softly reaching to brush her nose with his, a smirk pulling at her lips as she nodded taking a step back. “it’s been fun, i’ve seen some old friends, i’m drunk and i am more than ready to get this damn playsuit off.” 

     “   𝐒𝐎 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐊  and  they  suddenly  know  me ?  i  know  i’m  great  in  bed ,  but  damn ,  that’s  some  life-changing  shit , ”  he  jokes .  if  that  had  been  the  case  there  would  be  a  lot  of  people  out  there  who  knew  him  well ,  and  that  sounded  a  lot  like  a  nightmare .  he  knew  the  truth  was  in  the  second  part  of  her  statement .  they  had  met  a  lifetime  ago ,  and  she  had  watched  him  become  who  he  was  now .  “ and  there  goes  tomorrow’s  cover  story , ”  he  chuckles  when  she  pulls  back .  “ i  like  your  playsuit .  wouldn’t  mind  taking  it  off  for  you ,  though , ”  he  smirks ,  hand  finding  hers  to  get  them  out  of  the  party .  he’d  had  enough  of  that  for  the  night .

She could tell that he was drunk, but she was too and really it wasn’t like she was a new mistake he would be making - besides there was rumors about them on a regular basis as there always was when two young people hung out on a regular basis. “I’ve known you long enough to know exactly what you’re like.” Phe hummed softly as she looked up at at him, a hand moving to brush his curls from his forehead. “You looked stressed earlier, is everything ok?” She asked quietly, she wouldn’t make him talk about his feelings, that was not her move, she’d just distract him with sex like any good best friend would. “Of course, there is no one else I would rather end the night with you know that.” 

     “  𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 ,  ”  𝐇𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇  a  boyish  smirk  and  a  raised  eyebrow .  “ and  here  i  thought  that  spontaneity  was  my  signature  move . ”  there’s  no  point  in  denying  it ,  the  girl  does  know  him  too  well ,  and  they’ve  done  this  dance  too  many  times  to  be  of  any  surprise .  he  leans  into  the  touch ,  shrugging  at  the  question .  “ don’t  want  to  think  ‘bout  that  right  now . ”  no ,  all  he  wanted  was  to  enjoy  his  buzz  with  the  girl  without  the  image  of  a  certain  brown  haired  boy  taking  over  his  mind .  “ just  want  to  get  out  of  here  with  you . ”  he  should  really  try  to  be  a  better  friend .  “ did  you  enjoy  yourself ? ”

   ‘  excuse  me  ? ’      it  took  everything  in  him  not  to  scream  in  that  moment .  what  kind of  nerve  did percy  have  to  say  shit  like  that  to  him  of  all  people ?  did  he  forget  just  how  their  relationship  ended ?  he was  sure  the  sight  looked  strange  ––  mason  with  his  mouth  flat  open  and  a perseus  cordova  looking  rather  angry  at  something  to  do  with  the  boy .  he  wondered  if  percy  was  thinking  about  that  or  had  he  been  too  drunk  to  notice  that  this  was  public  and  he  was  talking  to  mason  in  front  of  people .     ‘  are  you  okay  ? ’      it  didn’t  sound  genuine  in  the  slightest .  mason’s  slurred  words  were  sharp  and  piercing  as  if  he  had  been  talking  down  to  the  other .     ‘  i  guess  you  have  to  be  pretty  fucking  desperate  to  get  with  the  first  guy  that  looks  at  you  like  that  too . ’      he  practically  spat  out  as  he  took  one  step  closer  to  the  other .  being  drunk  was  probably  the  worst  thing  for  mason  at  this  point  because  he  found  himself  confused .  most  of  him  just  wanted  to  push  the  other  away  and  head  home  with  the  guy  who’d  obviously  showed  his  interest  in  mason ,  but  there  would  always  be  a  part  of  him  that  wanted  to  follow  percy  home .  the  smart  part  of  his  brain  really  hoped  that  feeling  would  go  away  soon  enough  because  there  seemed  to  be  no  way  that  would  be  happening  again .     ‘  how’s  jessica  by  the  way  ?  or  was  it  erin  ?  god  ––  sorry  i  can’t  remember  the  name  of  the  person  you  cheated  on  me  with  . ’      it  was  the  last  thing  he  said  before  he  brought  the  beer  bottle  up  to  his  lips  and  tossed  it  upside  down  to  finish  of  the  bottle .  if  percy  was  still  standing  there  when  it  was  finished ,  he’d  sure  need  another  one .

     𝐈𝐅 𝐇𝐄'𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐁𝐄  there  could  have  been  a  chance  (  though  a  very  very  small  one  )  that  mason’s  reaction  would  be  enough  to  show  him  he  was  way  out  of  line ,  but  as  things  stood  the  only  thing  driving  him  was  his  jealousy  and  possessiveness .  both  that  he  surely  had  no  place  feeling  anymore .  he  is  not  your  boyfriend  anymore .  the  questions  go  unanswered  (  not  that  they  demanded  one  anyway  ) , but  hazel  hues  remain  locked  on  mason’s .  even  as  mason  moves  closer ,  he  stands  his  ground ,  unmoving .  “ you  got  me  all  wrong . ”  and  what  a  lie  that  was .  out  of  all  of  those  who  surrounded  him other  than  his  family ,  mason  had  been  the  one  to  see  the  most .  the  one  he  had  allowed  a  view  to  parts  of  him  that  he  kept  well  hidden  ⏤  safe .  maybe  one  of  the  reasons  why  he  cowardly  destroyed  their  relationship .  “ i’ve  got  too  many  options  to  go  for  the  first  one . ”  it’s  only  when  mason  brings  up  cheating  that  a  rational  part  of  his  brain  reminds  him  to  look  around ,  make  sure  no  one  is  within  a  earshot .  “ probably  both . ”  not  that  he  remebers  either .  he  doesn’t  bother  remembering  the  names  of  everyone  he  has  slept  with ,  not  even  the  ones  that  ruined  the  only  real  relationship  he  had  ever  had .  “ you’re  gonna  go  with  him ,  then ?  that’s  why  you  need  all  that  liquid  courage ? ”  he  is  accusatory  as  he  watches  mason  down  the  beer .  “ ‘cause  i  can  tell  you  right  now  that  he  won’t  measure  up . ”  he  should  just  walk  away .
