Thirsty Thursday - The Sequel

[stary-darlin]

JUST HOLDING HER LIKE THAT, MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE TURNING BACK

— ex!ellie williams × reader

It's been 150 days since your last conversation with Ellie, which was an argument, unfortunately. none of you were pleased by the result of it, yet you two still decided to not talk, ignoring when your friends asked you about what happened or if you guys still have a connection with each other. you both were at fault.

And just like teenagers, you both would eye each other when you see each other in the club or anywhere honestly. luck wasn't at any of your sides, maybe because both of you were scardy cats that would die if you chatted with your ex that you still love? maybe.

Moral of the story: both of you became strangers, trying to forget your significant other's name each time you heard their name be called, your body letting out an electric shock each time your shoulders touched each other.

Ellie's friend, Dina knew damn well what was going on, and she was not surprised by so. since when you guys were friends – before confessing your love to each other – you both did the same thing. blushing when you would get close to each other like some teenagers, staying quiet when you sit next to each other. even though you both were pleading for each other's love, your eyes would say it all. As they say, eyes are the window of the soul, and it was indeed. but Dani knew she had to stop this period drama play of yours.

So she came up with a plan that would work on the dumbest couple in the whole world – aka you and Ellie if that's not visible – but needed others' help so she called Abby and Jesse.

SATURDAY, 23:08 PM

— Jesse: why are we doing this again?...

— Dina: to stop them from looking like sad puppies when they see each other

— Jesse: damn right lol

— Abby: so what are we going to do?

— Dina: okay so we will invite them to our party but separately, so they don't know that the other is coming.

— Jesse: okay...

— Abby: mhm

— Dina: and you both know that Ellie has a low tolerance for alcohol

— Abby: so she gets drunk and confesses to y/n? bet.

— Jesse: tbh, I feel like we will regret this...

— Dina: Shut up jesse, come in 30 minutes.

Dina called you, inviting you to the party as the plan says, and you agreed to a party freak like yourself. Dani nodded to the others and set up the living room with LED lights and party decorations, sipping on their fresh drinks when they were done as a prize for their hard work.

"Imagine if this doesn't work," Jesse spoke to himself, "I would die cause I have a test in like two days."

Both Abby and Dina glared at him like two eagles looking for their meal of the day which shut Jesse up. "as if you get good grades in 'em or study" abby replied to him before rolling her eyes and opening her phone, calling ellie with Jesse's stunned expression in the background.

When you arrived to dina's apartment, abby was done with inviting ellie with force because ellie said she didnt feel good a.k.a felt depressed after the break up that was five months ago, i mean come on ellie is sad cause she lost her ultimate sweetheart, her sweet soulmate.

You parted with all three like there was no tomorrow, all of you hugging with your arms on your shoulders while jumping around with your glasses in hand. dani and abby looked at each other, finding it weird that abby didn't come till now and it was already 20 minutes after ending the call. jesse couldn't even care, he was having the time of his life dancing with you and drinking shots of vodka, letting the burning effect of the alcohol burn down his throat.

"Where is ellie?" dina whispered to abby while pretending to dance, "didn't you call her like 20 minutes ago?"

Abby looked down at her phone and nodded, "yes, she said she will come after 10 minutes."

Dina groaned and took a shot before taking her phone and calling ellie. ellie answered quickly, pretending to cough and making the excuse that she's sick, letting dina pull out plan B.

"Don't you want to get back with your darling sweetheart?" she whispered angrily to the phone, forcing a smile and raising her glass when you smile to her. ellie then all of a sudden ellie was no longer sick, "wait, what? you have her with you? oh my god, thank you, thank you." 

"Just come fucking here before she passes out from all the drinks shes taking–" she hung up and ellie jumped off her bed like super mario, putting on the sexiest silk black blouse on herself, was it because she was going to re-marry you today? yes, actually, she daydreamed of being your husband with the confidence of a greek god.

As you went to the bathroom, you heard loud banging that you later on ignored when Dina opened the door. you fix your lipstick, apply another coat on your lips before adding lip balm on for a little glossy look, looking at your face for a last time before opening the door and walking back to the living room, the loud music muffling the sounds of the chatter and laughter as you tilted your head to the side and took another glass that was on the kitchen's pantry with the other snacks, noticing a hand take the last glass right in front of you, trapping you on the side of the pantry. turning around you saw Ellie with that black blouse that was perfect with her biceps and her skin color, looking at her with widened expressions, both of you keeping eye contact for a moment before you walked away with the glass in hand.

Ellie turned around, her eyes following your figure, watching the way your jeans skirt moved on your hips with each step you took and the tight crop top with graphics on it, showing your torso and body to her, causing Ellie's mouth to water for a second. remembering she has to act sexy and cool to attract you back, she put down the glass and took a shot of vodka that was soon mixed with other rough heavy alcohol drink.

She watched you in the corner of everywhere, admiring your beauty that was in its most divine shapes; looking like a painting that was waiting for her to start painting to complete it, and she does admit you both complete each other and that's what she loved about you. she didn't have to work hard for anything cause she knew you were worth all her time, she was willing to be the mark to your Cleopatra with every fiber in her body.

She held her chuckle and smile when she watched you almost trip on the couch's leg, seems like the alcohol was working indeed. and her clumsy little sweetheart just keeping on tripping over and over again before letting out a tiny burp, she knew it was her show time. So she walked to you with her hands in her pants, "hey, you good, babe?" she whispered against your ear, causing you to flinch and look back at her, your eyes closing and opening lazily.

"Yeah, you are not, are you? come, should we go to the guest room?" she took your hand with her arm around your waist, her hand grasping your waist with slight grip. her braincells laughing and giggling at being able to feel you again. "come, let's go."

She walked you to the guest room that was away from everyone, chuckling to herself as she saw you with your gaze still on her looking like a total deer in the headlights. "stop looking at me like that, babe." she tilting her head to the side as she slide you into her other arm to close the door behind her.

"Woah–" you replied to her with your lips curled into an 'O' shape, your eyes turning into hearts as you stared at the two unbottoned buttons that gave you the view of her fair skin, making your cheeks redden. ellie hummed and looked at where you stared at her before letting out a laughter and looking back at you, her eyes narrowed into a curve with her lips, her smirk causing you to let out random babbles.

"Uh-huh, baby?" ellie played along as she placed the back of her hand against the side of your cheek, screaming internally as she felt the warmth of your soft cheeks that were caused by the alcohol. "u–...uh-huh" you shuttered as you nodded with nothing but pure emptiness in your head.

"You're so fucking cute, god." she groaned as she leaned in, taking your lips against yours, savoring every second of it. her hands cupping your face to the back of your ears – with ellie deepening the kiss – her tongue sliding against your parted lips, tasting your cherry lip balm causing her to groan once more. leaning back to let you get your breath, your face flushed with your lipstick smudged, turning on ellie even more.

You whimper softly while opening your eyes lazily, leaning your head closer to her face, and putting your palm on her collarbone, tip-toeing your way to the top to take another kiss, whimpering once more as she backs away playfully. "Do you even know what you're doing right now?"

"Uh-huh..." you nodded before tip-toeing again to kiss her, causing her to lean back before your lips meet hers, "let me–" you pout as you try one again, only repeating the same loop over and over again until you got tired to the point you started tearing up. Head down and bottom lip forward into a sad pout. "No, baby. Don't cry, I'm sorry." Ellie quickly lifted you head see your face, wiping the tears away with her hand cupping your face to only see that it was all an act. "Are you actin–" you cut her off by kissing her but this time you were the one in lead, tip-toeing on her shoe as you pressed your body against her, one of your arms on the beginning of her back and the other on the back of her head. Letting out a soft gasp as she bites your bottom lip, pouting as the shining pain continues when she continues kissing you.

Your intimate moment speaking words as much as your actions did, ellie leaded you to the bed while not letting go of your lips as if she wanted to get a new record on kissing you for the longest time.

"Ellie–" you gasped once more, hands on her shoulders as you pulled away from the kiss for a little mini break, all of that kissing sobering you up. "You–...we shouldn't do this."

Ellie frowned and took your hand to her chest where the heart, "you love me still, don't you?" You nodded with a pout, "and I love you so that means nothing is wrong with it. Now come here–" she took your lips against hers before you pulled away again.

"But we broke up" you spoke as you gazed up at her, "okay and? It was a heated argument, baby. We both couldn't live without each other." You looked over at her eyes, the shine in them like the one when she confessed to you; real and true.

"Look, I'm sorry for raising my voice. I regretted it since then and didn't know how to make up for it, I'm really, really sorry. I loved you since the first day I saw you, and the same love for you is still with me, I love you with every energy to my soul." She confessed while keeping her tilted head beside yours, her hand on your jaw with the other on the other side of your hips, pinning you to the bed. You let out a soft whine of her name as you pouted, tears in your eyes as you kissed her once again but this time it was heated and full of regret and hope for the upcoming, ellie let out a groan and leaned closer, cupping your throat with one hand, her thumb pressing gently on it.

"You don't know how much I missed you, missed this." She murmured against your lips before continuing to kiss you, parting your lips with her tongue which caused you to let out a soft moan as you lay down on the bed with ellie on top, following you.

As the situation got more heated, Jesse walked past the room to go to the bathroom since abby was in the other one and heard muffled moans and gasps, his face reddened as soon as he knew what you and ellie are doing. Dina followed him to ask him about what music to play next and heard the noises too, her expression freezing as she looked at the door.

"I told you we will soon regret this..." Jesse whispered to her while pressing his lips together into a straight line. "L-let's just...uhm go." Dina's voice softly appeared since the next song came up, both her and Jesse walked back to the living room, their faces traumatized as if they were kids who noticed their parents have sex. Abby came out of the bathroom and stood infront of them.

"Is everything okay?" She asked while taking a glass and taking a sip.

"N-no, no. Nothing's okay– I mean everything is okay." Jesse mumbled while staring at the floor like an insane person in the asylum.

"Why do you guys look like that then?–" she asked while raising a brow, confused. God replying to her by himself as soon as she says that. The music lowered down by siri with a combination of muffled moans that were now louder and bed-creaking noises. "Oh." She shut her mouth so quick, "well atleast they are together right and having fun?" She tried to comfort their brains that was traumatized in a second.

"Yeah..." both of dina and Jesse replied back.

under the summer stars masterlist

For the past two summers, you’ve been a camp counselor at Little Explorers Summer Camp. As irritating as the summer heat made you, being able to spend a month in this little paradise with the sweetest kids in the world made the burning UV rays worth it. You pulled into the parking lot, watching your friends from previous summers lining up beside you. You sent a text to your dads to let them know you’d arrived safely at the campsite.

As you adjust your minimal amount of makeup, you hear a knock on your window causing you to jump slightly and turn down your music that you had been listening to on the 3 hour drive. You turn your head and gasp in excitement as your good friend and fellow counselor, Jesse, tugs open your door.

“Oh my god, Jesse!” You chuckle as you step out of your driver's seat to wrap your arms around his neck.

He chuckled against your temple as he wrapped his arms around you, patting your back.

“Holy shit! Have you been working out? You nearly choked me out just now.” Jesse joked as he pulled back from your embrace.

You put your arm up to flex playfully, nodding with a cheeky smirk.

“Prepping for this summer, you know?” You shrugged your shoulders before looking over his shoulder to see a familiar blonde head making her way over.

“I think we should really put that to the test,” the blonde folded her own muscular forearms over her chest.

You make your way over to her to give her a tight hug as you had missed her presence dearly. Abby had become a close friend of yours after your first summer as a counselor being a year older than you and having more experience than you did.

“Abs, I missed you,” you laugh softly as she gives you a squeeze, slightly lifting you off the ground.

“I missed you too. Ready to deal with whiny kids and minimal air conditioning for a month?” Abby grinned from ear to ear as she pulled away, patting your shoulder.

“Oh, nothing but excitement and not at all fear,” you give her a thumbs up before you turn to see Jesse opening up your trunk to grab your suitcase.

You thank him as he breezes past you with your two suitcases, watching him walk down the gravel road to the counselors cabin. Abby mumbles ‘show off’ as Jesse lunges with your suitcases on either shoulder causing you to chuckle. The sun beat down on your exposed neck, beads of sweat already trickling down your back and centering on your upper lip.

You and Abby get to talking as you shut your car door, double locking it as you had the tendency to forget to lock your car. Abby explained to you how she had been excelling as a personal trainer back home, loving the differences she makes in people's lives. You were a barista at your campus when you weren't here at the campsite.

As you both walk up to the camp main office cabin, you notice a few other familiar faces. Dina, another fierce friend of yours, and Joel, one of the only mature adults in charge, both leaning against the old wooden railing with bright smiles.

“Well, who are those sexy ladies?” Dina shouts, cupping her palms over her mouth.

The sound caused the birds in the trees to scatter, you flinching at fluttering and squawking above you. You shake your head with a blush from not only the heat but her words.

“Dina,” Joel says warningly.

“What? The kids aren’t here yet.” Dina rolled her eyes playfully before making her way towards the two of you.

She threw each of her arms around your necks to pull you both into a quick but sweet hug.

“You’re one to talk. Hello? Your hair is growing and have you been doing squats?” You check her out as you admire her figure.

“My genetics blessed me.” Dina insisted with a bright smile.

The three of you were all sharing conversation as you walked up the steps, giving Joel friendly smiles and ‘hello’s. You peeked inside the cabin to see Jesse talking to the one person you were ashamedly the most excited to see. There she stood in a black tight wife pleaser, arms crossed in front of her chest as she nodded to whatever Jesse was rambling about. She even stopped her conversation with the man to walk up to you to give you the tightest hug, her toned arms wrapping around your frame.

Ellies’ sigh brushed against your temple, like she was relieved to see you. After all these summers, no one ever exchanged numbers so you yearned for her presence at the beginning of the month of June. Your dads already gave you a million pep talks but you told them your crush on Ellie was no more. Your heart betrayed your mindset as it fluttered at her grip on you, melting into the embrace without even realizing.

That is until Jesse spoke up.

“Jesus, Ellie, you guys are going to have a whole month together.”

This caused you to flip him off behind Ellie’s back. Ellie, sadly, pulled away regardless but didn’t let Jesse’s comment go unpunished and gave him a punch to his shoulder. He simply winced and rubbed the skin, shaking his head at the auburn haired girl.

“You’re just jealous because I’m her favorite,” Ellie snipped with a confident smile.

You couldn’t even lie as it wasn’t far off. It made you over think how you act around her. Have you made it obvious these past two summers how much you favored her?

“So are you guys excited for tonight?” Dina pipped in, raising her thick eyebrows as she glanced at everyone.

Every summer for as long as this camp has been active, all of the counselors take a night to go for a late night swim and a beautiful campfire to take the time to mentally and emotionally prepare for the next month.

The children come on Monday. It was Saturday so they had all of Sunday to prepare everything for the kids.

“Oh hell yeah. Dina and I are going to sneak into the dining hall to grab everything for the s’mores. What cabin did everyone get assigned to this year?” Jesse spoke up, grabbing the clipboard with everyone’s cabin and the amount of campers everyone had.

You glance at Ellie to motion to the clipboard. She grabbed your arm to tug you towards Jesse’s figure, peaking over at the highlighted names.

“Shit, Els, our cabins are right next to each other this year. T-Rex’s and Daisy’s.” You beam at her as you run your finger down the list.

“Finally. It’s been, like, three years and we’re right next door to one another.” Ellie looked over at you with just as much excitement in her sage green eyes.

You couldn’t help but match her excitement as you recalled the past two summers where the cabins you were assigned to were tens of feet away and you weren't able to see each other until lunch time or late at night. The cabins next to each other were usually teamed up to do activities with the kids together. More time to spend with Ellie.

Platonically and BFF-like, of course.

“Wait, Joel, where’s Steve and Robin?” You question the elder man as he walked through the screen door with a large box in his arms.

“Ah, those two will be here much later.” He paused to set down the box near a desk. “They missed a few exits and called ahead to let me know.”

You nod to yourself. Steve and Robin were like ying-yang twins. The brunette pretty boy and the freckled girl were the definition of platonic soulmates. It freaked you out how well they got along.

“Well until then, let’s all unpack our shit in our counselors cabins.” Jesse spoke up, grabbing one of his suitcases.

You agree and go to grab your suitcase when Abby and Ellie speak up.

“I can help—“

“Hey, no, I got it.”

You froze at the two of them reaching for your travel cases, looking in between the two of them.

“Guys, I can carry them myself,” you shake your head with a soft laugh but neither of the girls were having it.

“It’s like a mile walk to the Daisy cabin. I’m right next door. I can help,” Ellie emphasized, looking at Abby with a tight-lipped grin.

“A mile is not that far, Ellie. I really have no problem doing it.” Abby chuckled in Ellie’s face, grabbing the handle tightly to your carry-on suitcase with your toiletries.

Dina and Jesse exchange looks with you before silently maneuvering around the three of you to carry their own suitcases to their assigned cabins. Was there a weird tension between the two or was it just you?

“Okay! How about you both carry something? There. Problem solved.” You speak up, placing a hand on Ellie’s shoulder and turning to face Abby.

The two were driving causing your shoulders to set in a hunch at the strange encounter. The girls agreed on that before leaving the main cabin to yours. Abby’s biceps flexed as she carried the heavier suitcase with ease as Ellie rolled her eyes behind her, telling you to follow behind them so you could get settled in.

Reluctant already to walk in the shaded heat, you give Joel one more forced grin. He muttered ‘good luck’ before returning to his own tasks with what you swore was a teasing grin.

The walk to the cabin wasn’t as irritating as you were expecting as Ellie and Abby were right: you would’ve been complaining a lot more if you had a suitcase in each hand along with your carry on. The heat was causing your baby hairs to stick to your forehead, huffing in annoyance but keeping your snarky words to yourself as you arrived with the two very helpful girls.

Ellie kicked open the door, a soft grunt leaving her lips as she placed the suitcase she was holding next to your counselor bed. Abby did the same, stretching her palm in and out from the tight grip. You sigh as you lean against the doorway, feeling the cool A/C hit your face.

“See? Teamwork guys,” you give them both thumbs up. They looked back at you with panting chests but smiled at your words nonetheless. “I’ll catch up with you guys in a bit. Thank you, Els. Thanks, Abby.”

You give the girls a side hug — Ellie’s a little tighter than the blondes. Abby gave Ellie a look once over before leaving the cabin to have you and Ellie be on your own. Once the door shut, Ellie turned to you with a soft sigh. She placed her hands on her hips as she looked around at the cutesy decor that was floral themed. You took notice of how homey the bunk-beds felt in comparison to all of the other ones.

Sure, they were just as adorable but this one felt right. Or maybe it was the fact that a certain auburn haired girl was making you feel more at ease than ever.

“This is a cute little cabin. It suits you,” Ellie walked over to trace the mural of sunflowers with the campsite name in a beautiful cursive font.

“Right? It’s perfect. I mean, the Mushroom and Grizzly cabins were adorable but this feels a lot better for some reason.” You glance over at Ellie’s inked arm, sucking in a deep breath.

Ellie hummed in agreement, looking back over at you. You fiddled with your random bracelets, giving her the least awkward smile you could muster. She reciprocated the gesture right back and tilted her head to the left.

“I should probably head over next door to get all of my shit unpacked,” Ellie huffed out, walking over to you to be merely inches away from your face.

“I thought you were just going to annoy me for a little longer but if you wanna go, Els.” You tease, scrunching your nose at her.

She scoffed and leaned in, narrowing her eyes. “You love it when I annoy you.”

And how easily you could kiss me right now if you were willing, you thought.

“I guess I do since I keep you around,” you shrug your shoulders.

Ellie’s eyes poured into yours as she took a step back. Her hand reached at one of the ends of your braids, twirling it around her pointer finger. You watched her carefully as her smile slowly grew.

“You’re not sick of me yet?” She questioned, still messing with your hair.

Not in the slightest, your brain echoes.

“We’ll see. I’ll get back to you when the month is over.” You chuckle as she releases the dutch braid from her fingertips.

Ellie muttered ‘fair enough’ under her breath as she nodded to herself, a smile creeping on her lips. You watch her take a moment to glance around the cabin once over before inching towards the door.

“I’ll see you in a bit, okay? Campfire and then late night swimming.” Ellie pointed one finger at you expectantly.

“I know, Els. I’ll see you,” you give her one more nod.

“Wear something cute for the swim,” was the last thing she said before opening and shutting the door behind her.

You watched her now more blurred figure through the screen over the windows, waiting for her to leave before letting out a long sigh you weren't aware you were holding.

It was going to be a long month.

After unpacking for what felt like centuries, you had everything in their correct places and were able to peacefully make your way to the campsite. All of the beds were made, your counselor door had your name in dry-erase along with the rules for the camp opposite of the door.

And maybe you took into consideration what Ellie said about the cute outfit and threw on a pair of brown cargo shorts and a loose white tee. You only brought three pairs of shoes so you landed on your black and white Reebok Club C’s. What’s underneath was also taken into consideration.

As you were shutting the door behind you, you turned around to see Dina standing right in front of you with her arms crossed and eyebrows raised. You scoot back as she had scared you with her silent presence.

“Hey D, everything okay?” You tilt your head at her as you make your way down the steps.

“What the hell was that with Abby and Ellie earlier?” She trailed behind you, speeding up her steps to walk beside you.

You glance at Dina as you recall how intense hours before were between your other two friends; one whom you felt more deeply for.

“I really have no idea. It was… freaky but hey, I got out of carrying my luggage.” You joke and Dina nods along with a weak chuckle.

“Yeah, that is true but I don’t know. Ellie and Abby have always been neck in neck for some reason. They get along enough to be cordial but those two can get on each other’s nerves fast.” Dina explained to you.

You never really noticed it before. You assumed it was because if you weren’t trying to make sure the children were pulling or cutting each other’s hair, bullying one another or making sure their bladders were in check. Along with your flourishing and embarrassing school-girl crush on Ellie blinding you.

“Why?” You question as the two of you were approaching the campfire that was sparkling and crackling under the setting sun.

“I really have no idea, babe but what I do know is that you’re not being any less obvious with your crush on Ellie.” Dina nudged you as she jerked her head to Ellie who was watching Joel pulling at the strings of his acoustic guitar, a bottle of Coke dangling from her long fingers.

The green eyed girl had a small smile on her pink lips as she watched the father figure in her life sing lowly with the tune. Her effortless beauty to you was always captivating. Maybe Dina was right.

“My crush is extremely under control,” you lie straight through your teeth.

“Suppressing it and not confessing is not having it under control,” Dina stated with a sigh, shaking her head.

“Okay, enough talking about it. Plus, I’m trying to move on, D.” You lower your voice once you approach the group of familiar faces.

Dina pressed her lips into a thin line as she respected your wishes. What you told her was half true. Yes, you did want this crush to wither away in the wind but you didn’t actually have someone else to fixate on.

”Robbie, hey!” Dina approaches Robin, giving her a quick hug.

Robin rested her chin on her shoulder with a soft chuckle, reciprocating the motion. You make your way over to Steve who was chugging a lime Gatorade. Everyone was wearing a mix of tank top and tees with either jean or cargo shorts with athletic sneakers. Steve, being the manwhore he was, had on 5 inch inseam jean shorts. He looked like he stepped out of a 1987 slasher movie.

“Hey, pretty boy,” you tease as you stare at his head of gorgeous hair.

Steve rolled his eyes playfully before wrapping his free arm around your waist from where you were standing quickly. You hear Ellie and Joel snort at your statement as Steve shakes his head at their laughter.

“What’s up, Bubbles?” He grinned up at you.

Now the entirety of the camp erupted into giggles at his nickname for you. Last summer, the children in your cabin pranked you with the help of Jesse and Steve. The idiots got all 12 kids an extra large bubble gun and doused you in soapy bubbles right after getting out of the shower. You swore half of them just went up your nose and in your mouth. The HD photo of you is hanging in the main office for everyone to see.

“Alright, alright, enough. You guys are asses.” Ellie spoke up but she covered her mouth to hide her own laughter.

You sit down next to Abby and point across the fire at the auburn haired girl.

“You better keep one eye open at night.” You shake your head, allowing the warmth of the fire and the soft tunes of Joel’s guitar put you at ease.

Everyone else ‘ooh’d’ and ‘damn’d’ at your words as Ellie merely shook her head. She didn’t believe you were going to really do anything to her. That is until the blonde sitting next to you threw her muscular arm over your shoulders, tugging you into her side.

“I’ll help you prank Williams. Let me know before we go on our weekly trips to town.” Abby whispered into your ear which caused weird shivers to trickle down your spine.

You send her a small smile with a soft ‘thanks’.

Before you knew it, everyone was sharing how their past year has been since the previous summer. The sticks were passed around with the huge marshmellows at the end, everyone roasting them to a slight crisp. This camp had been a second home to you and these people had become like family. You found out that Robin had finally made a move on that girl she had been cruising on for the past year and had a date with her when she got back from camp which everyone drank to. You pressed your melting marshmellow in between two graham crackers, a small amount of chocolate between the two as you weren’t the biggest chocolate fanatic.

Ellie was almost pressured into playing the guitar tonight but she insisted she saved it for the kids.

Just when you were trying to get over her she said something as sweet as that. God, you hated her. After everyone had inhaled their s’mores, a series of sighs and complaints about how hot it was trickled down the line of counselors.

“Screw it. It’s time for that late night swim.” Robin stated, standing up on her high-top Converse covered feet.

Even though the sun had been set for almost two hours now, you were still warm all over. The cool lake would be heavenly. Everyone except for Joel got up from their seats on the logs, making their way over to the lake.

“Y’all be safe now. Ev’rybody knows what to do when you’re done swimming right?”

They were scattered ‘yes’s’ and ‘got it, Dad’. In a sense, Joel was like a father figure to you all since each and every one of you viewed him as such; comforting and an older man.

Once he gave you guys the ‘okay’, the group took off in a sprint to the bridge overseeing the lake. You let out a loud laugh as you watched Steve trip over his shorts as he kicked the denim off. Everyone had left their clothes and shoes on the small wooden pier, each of you plopping in one by one.

You set your shorts aside hanging on the rail along with your shirt and shoes. You tried to ignore the negative thoughts about Ellie seeing your body in just your underwear; a pair of hipster panties and a bralette because you couldn’t stand wired bras.

”Come on! The water feels amazing,” you hear Robin shout.

You saw Dina shoving Steve’s head into the water with joyous laughter. Jesse, Robin and Abby will peacefully swim around in the dark water. The only source of light being the singular lamp post at the end of the pier and the moonbeams bouncing off the still water.

Then you see a familiar head of wet auburn hair pop up at the end of the wooden ledge.

“Don’t make me get out of this water and push you in,” Ellie warned but her smile showed she was only teasing.

You flip her off before motioning for her to back away from the pier.

“Move your head, Els. I don’t wanna risk accidentally kicking you in the face when I jump in.” You give her a pointed look.

“I could get a badass black eye though,” she raised a hand to push back her wet hair out of her face, giving you more of a view of her stupidly perfect side profile.

“No, seriously. I don’t want to hurt you. Please move.”

Ellie muttered an ‘alright, sorry’ before swimming backwards so that she was now in the little group, all eyes on you. You took a few large steps back, the rough wood tickling underneath your bare feet. You heard a few shouts of encouragement come from Ellie and Abby’s mouths.

Within minutes, you were sprinting off the pier into the deep water. The borderline freezing lake engulfed your body entirely. When your head popped back up above the water, everyone was cheering you on for the jump. You were shivering a bit until Ellie came up behind you, placing her palms on either one of your shoulders. The warmth of her hands eased your goosebumps that raised on your skin.

“So you did wear something cute for tonight,” Ellie said lowly, the cockiest and most stupid grin on her face.

At first, you thought she meant the clothes that were hanging off the pier but no, she meant the underwear that was now clinging to your body. Your cheeks flushed at her words, moving your falling bra strap back onto your shoulder.

“This is what was at the top of my suitcase.” You state before splashing her face with the water, leaning in closer so that you were inches apart. “Not everything is about you, Ellie.”

Ellie spat out what water got in her mouth before shaking her head as she smacked her lips against her teeth. It shouldn’t have been as attractive as it was.

“I missed you,” was all she said.

No sarcastic comment back. It sounded so genuine and maybe you felt bad for talking to her in that manner. You had to if you were ever going to move on from this fantasy world of Ellie liking you back.

“Well, I’m here now. I missed you more, Els.”

Ellie shook her head. “You can ask Joel. He’ll embarrass me with how much I was talking about how excited I was to see you again.”

Don’t, you shouted at your rapid beating heart. She misses me as a friend.

“I don’t think I have to ask. He loves embarrassing you enough on his own,” you reply with a shrug of your shoulders, kicking your legs through the thick water to keep yourself afloat.

Ellie chuckled as she agreed.

“Well, anyway, I can’t wait to have fun with you again. ”

You nod mindlessly, completely enamored with how soft and gentle her eyes looked under the minimal light as she spoke to you. You whispered, “me too.”

You were so screwed.

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

Is it true Harry didn't know about Will and Kate engagement? (the part of his book you posted) I could imagine Wiliam telling him last minute, shortly before the official public announcement but not that he would let Harry find out through the news.

Yes and no. Harry is splitting hairs and being a butthurt asshole about it. I wonder if that's Meghan's work.

No, Harry did know that Will and Kate were getting engaged. As close as those brothers were in 2010, absolutely Will would have told Harry he was planning to propose. At the very least, the conversation might've went something like "I'm going to propose soon." "It's about damn time, Willy." That's usually all the notification one needs to know it's happening.

Also, Will and Kate confirmed in their engagement interview that they've been discussing marriage for some time. Their families and close friends would have known they were having those discussions. (It was kind of obvious too: Carole and Mike kept getting invited by Charles and The Queen to weekend shooting parties at both Balmoral and Sandringham. Carole and Mike wouldn't get those invites without those discussions taking place and without the families knowing those discussions were taking place.)

Yes, Will didn't tell Harry any of the when/where/how details of getting engaged and that is what Harry is butthurt about. That's why he says "no one told me till I read about it on the internet."

The way Harry talks about William in Spare, he very much believed that they were were a package deal joined at the hip, meant to do everything together. It was the William and Harry show, with Kate to be the third wheel. With that perspective, Harry probably expected Will to include him in the planning or that they would call him first thing after Kate said 'yes' to celebrate or that he would be invited on whatever holiday or dinner that William was going to propose on.

And this is where I think we see Meghan's influence. That you're supposed to start sharing you're engaged from the word 'yes' seems to be an American thing. It definitely reeks of an influencer who documents everything for the clicks and hits. Especially since we know that according to Netflix, Meghan interrupted Harry's proposal to Facetime Jess. So I wonder if Meghan, in her attempts to break the brothers' relationship, told Harry that Will "proposed wrong" by keeping it a secret from him or not involving him.

Because you are right. Will and Kate didn't tell anyone that they were engaged for quite some time. I think the royal rota version was that William didn't tell The Queen and Charles till that very morning and the palace scrambled to make the public announcement a short while later.

William keeping it a secret for some time was for good reason: Harry implies in Spare that William has long suspected Charles and Camilla of leaking against him, so it makes sense that William wouldn't tell them until he was ready to announce it. But there's also a very strong chance that William was concerned Harry might leak too, since Harry was awfully chummy with the press back in those days, often meeting them for drinks. And sometimes it was in those drinks sessions that there'd be little leaks and tidbits coming out about William's private life.

Sims 3 Through History Challenge

Recently I started the Sims 3 Through History Challenge and I figured why not share my progress here! As I progress through the challenge I will post my progress here. As of creating this post I am on my second generation so we have a little bit to catch up on. This generation has a point system for each generation which I will share at the end of each one.

Generation 1 - Prehistoric

My first generation started with two sims, Kewanee and Mikasi Hoken. The town they started in was Appaloosa Plains, but halfway through after giving birth to 5 of their 6 children, they moved to Dragon Valley for the next generation. I made Kewanee focus on levelling up her gardening and cooking skill and I made Mikasi focus on levelling up his painting skill. Kewanee gave birth to 6 children: Athelesia and Randolph (twins), Wiliame, Ismey, Audouin, and Niki, but they gave birth to Niki after Randolph, the heir, moved out.

Points:

Gardening Skill (female): 10 points

Fishing Skill (male): 5 points

Mastered Painting Skill: 0 points

Mastered Cooking Skill (female): 0 points

Mastered Athletic Skill (male): 5 points

Children Born On Lot: 50 points

Generation 2 - Medieval

This generation starts with the oldest male heir, which in this case is Randolph. After he aged up into a young adult, I moved him out and gave him the lifeguard profession since any male in this generation can have any full-time job. During this he met Shannon MacAnna-O'Shea and tried to date her but found out that she was married so he quickly dropped that. After a few days, he met Merewina Winston, after saving her from drowning. The next day, he wasn't doing anything so he invited Merewina over to his house to hangout. They then started going steady. After that he got really busy with mastering his athletic skill and moving up in the lifeguard profession, but he then made time and went on a date in which he proposed to her and then got married because he was aging up into an adult in 6 days (I didn't manage time well this generation). Once they were married, he moved into Merewina's house together and had a child in which they named Jesse Hoken. A few days later, after Jesse aged up into a toddler, Merewina gave birth to Allen Hoken.

Things we learned as individuals.

Wiliam Sarradet and I would like to have two height variation with two ethereal modes like Thoele taught us. We will have two different names for the height variations. We will talk about the height variations and ethereal modes like Thoele taught us. William and I will not have body hair except for on the head above the face like is usual for humans with eyebrows and eyelashes [Thim Sköld] I’m going to talk to you about what you did. [Zak Cyran] I’m going to talk to you about what you did. Probably talking to Nero. ______________________________________________________________ I Jonathan Milling (I will change my name to Jacob Graves (I have to understand the depths of despair and its opposite, so that’s the reason for the name as Thoele taught me) Sineris (I have to understand the depths of sin and chaos and its opposite in respect to what Thoele has taught us) want to marry Zak.Cyran William Sarradet; (100% chance, I ain’t parsing back from that) I’ll talk to him about his name Zak Cyran and Vickory, I want it to be about him. We have to be able to decide how we will exist so that we may be able to better help everyone live the life that persons want to be living including any personified death. Persons are not their grief. William Sarradet and I, Jacob, would like to not be in pain, but be aware of it so it can be properly regarded because we are good individual persons (this is what we understand) capable of amazing magical (not as magical as Thoele, more practical and mundane) things. My immediate friends will have super human vision because I learned from Thoele the importance sight and foresight. William Sarradet and I do not regard numbers as information deciding persons lives in an abstract way not regarded as practical and utilitarian: This better ensures happiness for everyone, including those suffering above or below. Gesch Windiget is both our best friends and would like to marry his current girlfriend. Jesse Mercer is one of his best friends and would like to be married to the person he is with now. Michael Nswndr is my friend and would like to be married to the person he is with now. Maynard is responsible for Gesch having bonded with Zak as a friend because of how bad things may have happened prior. The persons in Maynard’s world also exist in our world this would help us better understand Maynard like Thoele taught us. We need cigarettes, alcohol, and coffee to not be as damaging as they are as this how we learned to understand Thoele as persons; Damage happening from this sort of thing needs to be completely reversible. I, William Sarradet, Gesch, Jesse, and need to have perfect recall (memory) like Thoele taught us is important. Pogo like in the Tourniquet video and Pogo from the interview I like a lot will probably be married and those two can differentiate their appearance; they will have perfect recall as individuals. Tyler and his wife, Tyler Willis, will have perfect recall. Desmond Napoles will have perfect recall and will be like I and William in body form (excluding the ethereal situation) and William and I will help him find the person he will marry like Tony wants for him. Most of the persons in the world I am currently will be in this world. There will be an ephemeral world only certain persons have access to and we will talk about that together.  Skin rashes will not exist in our world (Or in Pauls or Maynards or Nero’s) as we learned that can be very dangerous from Thoele. Scratching happens, but if it starts to get strange it is a sign something bad is happening like with hand gestures as we learned from Thoele. Persons trying to harm Jacob Grave(aka Jonathan Milling) for no fair or discernable reason will be unable to and the standards by which person have been discerning reasons to harm persons in the past can not be how such things are decided in the future as taught by Thoele. Wounds heal quickly for Jacob Graves, Gesch Windiget, Willaim Sarradet, almost instantly as taught by Thoele. This should be a forever thing and that is our aim as a community as Thoele has taught.

vCertain this is lies sent through some console window.v

[regard this in this post proper]

They're saying you forced someone to do something while stuck in the body of someone else, that's not the same. Don't you lie to me. You're saying Zak Cyran killed and raped Casper. Don't you lie to me. If so, he's dying. I'll think about bringing him

back after that. You're talking on top of each other again and I need to know what actually happened. I have to raise my son and you want me to raise it with that? Anything good in him goes to William Sarradet and he is practice. That ain't a person I knew, William Sarradet is not like that. I'll talk to him first, with my voice and then my fists. You're going to live like I did in my world after I take you memories and make you less of a person than you already were. I'll teach you how to be a person, you stay away from my son. I will marry William Sarradet. Tony I'm going to do the same to you so you can get better. Understand me. How is he so competent and capable if he is weak enough to do that. You explain how he got that way because I need to understand that.

[regard this in this post proper]

^Certain this is lies sent through some console window.^

It’s possible I can exist in Maynard’s world considering he tried to help this person who failed.______________________________________________________________(I placed this context here because it is very important to me, but not as important as what Thoele has taught me.)Maynard James Keenan helped as an adopted father better understand what happened to Thoele and would prefer to be a good persons with complete working empathy as that was what he was trying to better understand Thoele with and with that in place it would better help him understand what happened to Thoele. Maynard James Keenan would like to not be in pain, but be aware of it so pain can be regarded with care and concern. Maynard’s immediate friends will have super human vision because he learned from Thoele the importance sight and foresight. He will occupy terrain at the bottom holding everyone up, it is very important he is happy and should have a wife. He is a completely practical thinker. Maynard, his future wife, William Sarradet, and I want to make forever possible for everyone like Thoele taught us. I will always regard Maynard as my adopted father with complete respect and reverence like Thoele taught me. He would like his friend Bill Hicks (he will not smoke) in his world. Alex Grey is in Maynard’s world. Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws is in Maynard’s world. Maynard needs alcohol to not be as damaging as it is in his world because this is how he learned to understand Thoele; Damage happening from this sort of thing needs to be completely reversible. He needs to have perfect recall (memory) like Thoele taught us is important. Kevin Graham Ogilvie will be in Maynard’s world and will need perfect recall. Barry Anderson and his parent with perfect recall. Trent Reznor and his wife with perfect recall. Chris Corner will be in Maynard’s world and will have perfect recall. Persons trying to harm Maynard for no fair or discernable reason will be unable to and the standards by which person have been discerning reasons to harm persons in the past can not be how such things are decided in the future as taught by Thoele. Wounds heal quickly for Maynard James Keenan, almost instantly as taught by Thoele. Skin rashes will not exist in our world (Or in Pauls or Maynards or Nero’s) as we learned that can be very dangerous from Thoele. Scratching happens, but if it starts to get strange it is a sign something bad is happening like with hand gestures as we learned from Thoele. This should be a forever thing and that is Maynard’s aim as a community as Thoele has taught. ______________________________________________________________ Paul Komoda and Michael Gira will occupy the same world and help us better regard what we learned. Kyo will also be in this world and probably in Neros under the guidance of Paul. (These persons will have perfect recall: memory) Persons trying to harm Paul Kamoda and Michael Gira for no fair or discernable reason will be unable to and the standards by which person have been discerning reasons to harm persons in the past can not be how such things are decided in the future as taught by Thoele. Wounds heal quickly for Paul Kamoda and Michael Gira, almost instantly as taught by Thoele. Skin rashes will not exist in our world (Or in Pauls or Maynards or Nero’s) as we learned that can be very dangerous from Thoele. Scratching happens, but if it starts to get strange it is a sign something bad is happening like with hand gestures as we learned from Thoele. ______________________________________________________________Tony Marcel Gonzales wants to be with Carter and I need to better learn what happened so they can live happily forever together, they are good individuals and something difficult was probably happening. This will be a forever thing and it goes without question they are faithful persons and will never cheat on each other. These person will have wider hips and no body hair except for eyebrows, eyelashes, on the head above the face like humans do. Carter will probably look like he does in that one video and the image on the desktop in the manner described. Tony, Carter, And his mom will have perfect recall (memory). Michèle Lamy might understand Tony Marcel Gonzales as a son. Persons trying to harm Tony Marcel Gonzales, Carter, and his mom for no fair or discernable reason will be unable to and the standards by which person have been discerning reasons to harm persons in the past can not be how such things are decided in the future as taught by Thoele. Skin rashes will not exist in our world (Or in Pauls or Maynards or Nero’s) as we learned that can be very dangerous from Thoele. Scratching happens, but if it starts to get strange it is a sign something bad is happening like with hand gestures as we learned from Thoele.   ______________________________________________________________Seyta Nero and those they Know. (A WORK IN PROGRESS, GOTTA MAKE CERTAIN I HAVE THE HAPPIEST EQUATION LIKE THOELE TAUGHT ME)Similar concepts as described above will be happening for these persons. I think Kyo would be good with Nero and DJ sissen would be good with Seyta and if there is a Seyta Nero thinks would better manage things, he decides that. (These persons will have perfect recall: memory) Nero needs cigarettes, alcohol, and coffee to not be as damaging as they are as this how he learned to understand Thoele as a person; Damage happening from this sort of thing needs to be completely reversible. Persons trying to harm Nero for no fair or discernable reason will be unable to and the standards by which person have been discerning reasons to harm persons in the past can not be how such things are decided in the future as taught by Thoele.______________________________________________________________When we better understand what happened and how to better regard each other we can begin to bridge the gap like Thoele taught, but Thoele has her own understanding and would like to not be bothered. I need to be able to directly interact with Paul without either of us being pulled into each others world and others worlds. We will not be harming each other as that would be disrespectful to what we learned.In regards to this entire list, Tony taught us the importance of having to fight against injustice.

FAKE CHARACTER: OTIS ABBEY

"You have to do what you love because you have to; it’s a privilege on its own to love something so much you actually want to do it all of the time, every single day, and it’s all yours.”

Age: 32 / Gender: Male / Date of Birth: 06/29/85 / Place of Birth: Chicago, IL / Ethnicity: Black American / Occupation: Boxing Promoter / MBTI: ISFP

SHORT BIO: Otis Abbey loved boxing ever since he was a kid -- watching more than actually participating. He'd spend hours gazing and gawking at the television. When his parents noticed how ridiculously obsessed he was with the sport, they suggested he try it when the time was appropriate.  However, the attempt failed horribly and he broke his own hand in the process. In the end, Otis decided it was better to be behind the scenes than in front. He hasn't regretted his decision since.

Redoing my titles + writers spec

So, with the new information, I’m trying to update my spoiler speculations accordingly. 

13 - The Gauntlet: Dana Horgan (story) & Jay Faerber & Brooke Pohl I had this down as a Lena/Andrea and maybe the point where Lex re-enters the picture. Lena/Andrea is still a possibility but so far it doesn’t look like Lex is back yet unless they are hiding him really well. 

This is also contains the test of course. If it really totem = a person, and courage = Alex that could fit with my take that Faerber was involved in writing Welcome Back Kara. 

14 - Magical Thinking: Derek Simon & Karen Maser Well, it at least confirms a very small thing about my theory that writers like to bring back stuff they introduced, with Karen Maser being the one who introduced Esme and who now brings her back for this episode. 

Derek Simon has written a bunch of strong Lena action girl episodes ( most notably Trinity ) or strong Lena contributes episodes (like Man of Steel) so I kind of assumed that his influence would be dominant. (note that both Derek Simon and Karen Maser are co-executive producers though I think Maser has been one for longer). 

I guess there is a chance that this is another Kelly centric episode where Kelly = humanity? Or it is more Lena centric with Lena = destiny? Or it’s destiny, but destiny is one of the few totems Nyxly manages to get? 

15 - Hope for Tomorrow:  Robert L. Rovner (story) &  Emilio Ortega Aldrich & Nicki Holcomb Now that we know about the totems we know that this is likely about the totem of Hope and naturally Hope = Kara. I guess it makes sense that this warrants attention from the big guy Rovner.  Other than that I had this tentatively scribbled down for maybe Brainy or Nia stuff based on the writers, but we really know very little about the episode. 

16 - Nightmares In National City: Rob Wright & Jess Kardos

Based on the title I would assume that this is about the Dream totem and hence would expect this to be Nia focused. Which would fit with the writers, they also wrote the prom episodes which were rather Nia heavy in addition to Kara and Alex heavy. 

Okay, originally there was a rumor that 17 would be called Truth and Consequences and 18 would be Believe In A Thing Called Love. 

Later the writers guild of america site was updated to have 17 as I Believe In A Thing Called Love with Dana Horgan &  Nicki Holcomb as writers. It should be noted that the WGA has wrong information on it, it has two episodes called Lost Souls rather than having the correct info on Prom Again. 

Personally, I still think that: 

Truth and Consequences is a perfect Lena/Andrea/William title. And either of them would be a really interesting choice for the truth totem. Also Dana Horgan to me strikes me as a though not exclusively so but still fairly Lena centric writer. So to me the perfect combination would be 17 + Truth and Consequences + Dana Horgan and Nicki Holcomb as writers + it’s about the truth totem. 

With 18 being about the totem of love, maybe containing a Dansen engagement, which means that Kelly or Dansen (or even little Esme!) would be love and somebody else could be/would be humanity (maybe Lena as humanity in 14? though that seems a bit weird to me if they just made her a witch, wouldn’t declared normal person Kelly be a better representative for humanity?). Though I guess it’s possible that it could be Brainy’s love for Nia? Or J’onn’s love for Kara and Alex? Or if you are true Karamel believer you could hope that that’s where Mon-El returns. 

But I have to at least entertain that my “OMG, Truth and Consequences is a perfect title for a potential Lena or Lena&Andrea episode” issues are not indulged. and really 17 is Love and 18 is Truth. One thing that could come of it would be what if they shot stuff heavily out of order near the end and the “love” is a Dansen wedding or engagement and the “consequences” is the death and funeral of William, explaining why Alex is wearing a ring at the funeral? (I still think that episode 20 is way too stuffed to contain a big battle AND a funeral AND a wedding AND various wrap up scenes AND a big speech AND potentially the reintroduction of guest characters, so shooting stuff out of order with the special guest stars like James makes a ton of sense to me, like have a wedding or engagement party in 18 and James is present for it) 

But yes, I can also entertain that 17 = Love = Lena centric beacuse of Dana Horgan. 

That would leave William or Andrea as the most likely candidates for truth in episode 18. (I still really like the concept of William passes the test of Truth, dies a hero’s death and passes the totem on to Andrea who feels so humbled by his sacrifice that she becomes a better person) But with us not knowing who wrote it there isn’t really much to go on except a potential title and the concept that there has to be a truth token and me thinking that truth fits those characters the best (Wlilam tries to find the truth, Lena of course was very hurt by truth being kept from her, Andrea is William’s boss and just recently had some lines about truths and secrets) 

There are also rumors that episode 19 is called Last Gauntlet. So this would presumably be where they retrieve the last totem. Based on the episode title game, it would have to be either destiny and humanity. My main instinct was that humanity would be considered most important and would be last. But I guess it could also be destiny if Kelly = humanity = episdode 14. 

What this leaves out is the return of Lex. We know he is back in 19. 

I originally had him penned down for him showing his presence again in episode 13 because of 

1.) the writers involved  2.) It would make a lot of sense to bring Lena and Wiliam in contact for 14 3.) Melissa mentioned that the return of Lex would play a role in Kara and Lena letting bygones be bygones and we know they work together in 14. 

But unless they are hiding him intentionally from the spoilers for surprise reasons, it doesn’t seem likely to me anymore. Since we now know that Lena’s ritual in 2 has something to do with Nyxly not Lex. I guess it’s possible that Lena and Kara have a different disagreement later in the season that then is put aside due to the return of Lex? Death of William? Misuse of power? Lena withholding information on Acrata? 

Anyway, if it is not 13 where Lex start working from the shadows, my second guess would be 17 because of Horgan. Or 15 because of Rovner (since his presence implies important episode). Which would make some sense if like teaming up with Lex causes Nyxly to become more powerful, allowing her to unleash a NIghtmare On National City.  I don’t really buy that they can add him back that late into the plot as just 19. I feel like at the very least you would have to feel his presence whether Lex himself is present (like in the garbage island episode) for it to feel satisfying that he is the one in the big last battle. But with how they gave Nyxly a different sidekick I guess there is less need for him, since she already has a sidekick who acts as her guide to this world and who she can explain her plans to. 

@peggystormborn there is a rumor that the title of the last episode could be “Kara”, made me think of you and your neither Kara Danvers nor Kara Zor-El nor Supergirl, just Kara theories.

BIOGRAPHY:

Jude Walker was born into a poor family in the Bronx, that had seven people living in a two bedroom apartment. His mother Dina Walker had always tried her best, bless her heart, to ensure her children had everything, but it just had never worked out for her. Jude is the youngest of her six children, a mixture of both boys and girls, but he was her little miracle child. Asclepius had met Dina once night when she had been drowning her sorrows in a bar, and it seems that he took pity on her story and blessed her with a son who could actually account for something. With her other children being a mix of criminals and dead beats (not her own words of course), Jude was destined for greatness, from the moment that he was able to walk, that she knew.

Being the youngest of six kids, Jude got bullied a lot by his older siblings, but he never really let it bother him. He knew it was because he was more intelligent than them, because he got better grades than them, and because he didn’t get in trouble as they did. Dina pushed her youngest towards medicine, knowing who his father was, and knowing that he’d get the most potential out of his life if he followed his affinity to medicine. At birthdays and Christmas, he was gifted things such as a doctors kid, a doctors coat, and a toy stethoscope that he enjoyed playing it - but not as much as his mother would have liked. He actually preferred music, and had a pretty good singing voice and affinity for the guitar - but that wasn’t the life he was destined to lead.

Dina pretty much guilted her son into following a career in medicine. Without really trying too hard, his grades were good enough to get a scholarship to John Hopkins university, and once he had graduated as a MD, he’d be able to look after the family more than she ever had been able to. Jude wanted to go down the path of music, he wanted to study music tech at university, and musical performance, but seeing the disappointed look on his mother’s face was enough to make him change his mind. She’d raised him, given him as much as she could, and it was only fair that he did the same for her in return.

It was when he was in medical school of course, that Jude found out what his power was from his father. His father being a god was something that his mother had never hidden from him, and he’d expected something to show itself sooner or later, but nothing like what he had thought. He’d been doing some work experience in a free clinic when it had first happened - when he’d been greeting at patient by shaking her hand and suddenly she could barely breathe. At first, Jude though it was an allergic reaction to something that had perhaps been on his skin when he had been working previously, as she got better once he had let go. After washing his hands profusely, he attempted to shake hands with another patient later on that day, and the same thing happened. This time he had held on too long, and the guy had almost collapsed. It took it happening for a third time for him to head home for the day, to call his father down from the heavens (the only time that he has ever done so) to ask what the hell was going on. He was told that his gifts with medicine came as a price, and that was that his hands could no longer heal, only hurt. Jude was gifted with a pair of thin, black gloves that allowed him to still feel things on a patient’s body, such as their pulse or any abrasions, but he wouldn’t be able to touch them without them on. This didn’t just go for patients, but with anyone. He had to be careful hugging his mother, touching a woman - anything.

Once Jude had graduated from university, he got himself a job in Baltimore at a local hospital, and found himself easily falling into the role as a trauma doctor, even though his mind would sometimes flit to music, and what he could have been doing if he hadn’t been Asclepius’ son. Jude was living his life quite casually and calmly, getting on with things as best he could because of his power, not knowing anything about other demigods, until he met Odessa.

Walking home from work one day, Jude had stumbled upon a crash on one of the main roads, and instantly he had ran over to help. He’d taken his gloves off once he had left the hospital, obviously not planning on touching anyone and that thought barely crossed his mind until he was done getting the man into the recovery position, and the ambulance crew took over. He took in a deep breath as he looked down at his hands, visibly beginning to shake, and spoke out loud “how can I touch people? How is this happening?” Obviously, some people looked at him like he was a mental person, but a red-head stepped out of the crowd and came over to him, laughing about how she had turned off his power.

That was the start of a beautiful friendship, of Jude becoming a big brother like figure (after a few times sleeping together they realised it wasn’t going to work as anything more) to the girl, looking out for her knowing that she would always find herself in trouble. It was a few years later, when she told him that her brother had died and was heading off to an island full of demi-gods that Jude was really shocked. He’d never known her to have any other family, he thought he was the closest thing that she, and where the hell was this island?

After Odessa left, it took Jude two weeks to hand in his notice at the hospital, pack up his life, and move to the island in Greece. He’s not going to let her go off on her own and get herself into all sort of messes, but he also wants to know if he had any siblings that he doesn’t know about in Icaria, and what it’s like living on an isle full of demigods.
