[thequiver]

Inspired by @thrakaboom here’s my Spotify top 10 with commentary

1. The Mountain Song - Tophouse

Okay first of all I got to see them in concert and hearing this live was magical. Second of all this is first dance at a wedding material and I adore it. And thirdly I am debating using this for a fic with my X-Men OCs.

2. Cast the Bronze- Reyes

This song FUCKS, I am genuinely surprised that this wasn’t my #1. I’m obsessed, everyone go listen to it now.

3. Riot- The Scarlet Opera

Okay so the scarlet opera is SO GOOD and this is SUCH a good song it’s so fun. It’s catchy, the harmonies are great, and it has some lovely hook lyrics. Also just great vibes 10/10.

4. Rule #33 Pyre - Fish in a Birdcage

TOM CASSIDY SONG OF ALL TIME. Oh the parent issues feels that came with this…..cried the first time I heard it.

5. Warrior of the Mind- Epic the Musical

I cannot explain why but I get like Billy Kaplan animatics in my head when I hear this song and they’re always lovely.

6. Dial Drunk- Noah Kahan

It’s a good song. The song is good. “In the name of someone I no longer know” as something applied to the self fucks me up.

7. Alive- The Scarlet Opera

This is such a feel good bop? Encouraging? Upbeat? Beautifully sung? 10/10

I’m not usually a happy music person but this - this is good.

8. Delta Dawn - Home Free and Brooke Eden

For the life of me I can’t tell ya why I know Sam and Paige Guthrie consider Delta Dawn their song but every time I hear this cover I think of them.

9. He Set Her Off- Emily Ann Roberts

Paige Guthrie anthem of all time babey. “Thought she was fragile like a flower but she’s fragile like a bomb.” Country songs about killing terrible husbands are always good approved family fun.

10. I Am Appalachia- Josiah and the Bonnevilles

I’ve been goin through it with my accent this year…….

[tending-the-hearth]

so for those of you who may not be aware (which is def most of you) i made a 2012 TMNT oc FOREVER AGO who is my love and one of my favorite ocs that i've ever created. isabelle is so very very important to me, and the story i wrote for her and raph got me through a REALLY difficult time in my life.

a few little easter eggs abt their relationship/characters that are in the moodboard:

isabelle's last name is gold, hence the little bits of gold in the moodboard!

she's a huge reader (bc of course 2014 me needed an oc who was just like me)

the quote in the middle, if you haven't guessed already, is from "the hunger games", which is isabelle's favorite book, and she and raph go see the movie for their first date!! (mockingjay part 1 came out in 2014, which was when i first wrote the story, so it fit so perfectly)

and to go along with this moodboard, as i do with all my other character moodboards, i had to make a playlist for them!!

muscles + nerd playlist

[dream-a-little-bigger-x]

Chapter 18 -- Perfect Harmony | Charlie Gillespie

Summary: Emily Fox is a talented 17-year-old with a passion for all things music. Her dream is to become a successful singer-songwriter one day. But to achieve that dream, she needs to get into one of the most prestigious music schools in her district – it’s all been part of her plan since she was six. Sadly enough, those schools cost a ton of money that her parents don’t want to invest. They don’t even want her to pursue her dream. So, now Emily’s hustling, working at the music store to save up to get into college. That’s until she meets Charlie, an annoying seventeen-year-old boy with the same dream as her. The only difference is, he’s just doing it. He doesn’t need a fancy college to pursue his dream to become famous with his band. He just writes his songs and books small gigs here, there and everywhere. Will meeting Charlie defer her from her dream college, or will he actually help her achieve the dream?

Pairing: Charlie Gillespie x OC (Emily Fox)

Warnings: mentions of death, sexual assault

Important note: the characters of Charlie, Owen, Jeremy and Madison are based on the characters they play on the show and i do not own their names, only OC are mine. The songs aren’t mine either, they’re all from the show except for one.

~|Emily Fox|~

Saturday is here sooner than I expected. The boys and I are at the back of the Music Store where Open Mic Night ensues, rehearsing our entire setlist. Ash scolded at me when I told her we had six songs to perform but let us do our thing anyway since not a lot of artists have registered for tonight’s show. “Such a pity we wasted all that fire on soundcheck,” Jeremy comments when we’ve finished playing Now or Never. The boys are all dripping with sweat, and my hair sticks to my head, making me look like an egg. “Yeah, Ems, you were on fire just now!” Owen says, holding his hand up for a high five, which I give him. “I think we’re going to do great tonight.” “I think so too!” A voice I recognize as Uncle Mitch’s echoes through the room. All four our head’s snap into his direction. He has a proud smile on his face as he glances around the room, completely mesmerized by everything. “How much of soundcheck did you hear?” I ask, hoping he didn’t hear Bright yet. It has to be a surprise. The old man hops onto the stage and wraps me up in a hug, which he immediately regrets. “You stink, girl,” he tells me, pulling back, “But I didn’t see anything, I just know you’re going to be great!” He looks up at the ceiling, inspecting the lighting situation. “This is a great place to play, Muffin,” he whistles in admiration. “You want to play another song, don’t you?” I ask him, knowing exactly where he’s going. “What?!” he screeches, but doesn’t bother further with playing coy, “Yes, can we? The other villain song Bobby wrote?” I roll my eyes at him, then nod to the boys. “Play something similar to what we did last time, more bass,” I tell them as they spring back into action. Owen counts us in, and we start playing while Uncle Mitch grabs an extra mic. “You know you wanna take a chance and be a little bit bad Ain't nothing quite like living on the edge so get ready to go I'm chasing down a thrill, and lookin' fit to kill So listen to the words a wise man said He said, "Covington, I got an offer that you can't refuse"” While I take care of backing vocals, the boys let go on their instruments whilst dancing around together. Mitch and I dance around each other. “You got nothing to lose, boys Lose, lose, lose You got nothing to lose, boys Lose, lose, lose You got nothing to lose” He grins up at me before turning to the boys and saying, “Welcome to my stage, boys” I walk over to Charlie whilst Uncle Mitch turns to our bassist. Charlie and I share a mic to add the little ‘ooh’s as a bit extra pizzazz. “You know you want a little taste Life's short, not a minute to waste I'll take you higher than you've ever been So come over and tell me how you'd like to begin” Uncle Mitch and I then switch places, so I can rock out with Jeremy and Mitch sings to my boyfriend.

“You got nothing to lose, boys Lose, lose, lose You got nothing to lose, boys Lose, lose, lose You got nothing to lose” Mitch points to Owen, and the other two stop playing for a moment, leaving Owen to shine. “Owen, show me what you've got” Jeremy then comes up with a really good bass riff. “Jeremy, swing it, baby” He then points to Charlie, who shreds a few amazing chords on his guitar. “Now Charlie, yeah” He then turns back to me. “You and me How do you like my new band?” To my absolute surprise, Uncle Mitch starts scatting, way better than Charlie did when we sang This Band is Back together. Then he goes back into the chorus, but says the words instead of singing us, leaving us with the little ‘ooh’s for extra effect. “You got nothing to lose So come over here, baby I got what you need Let yourself go crazy All bets on me, it's electrifying From your hat to your shoes I feel it in the air We got nothing to lose, nothing to lose, yeah” Uncle Mitch hits that last high note flawlessly, leaving the band in absolute awe. “I think we’re ready for tonight, you guys,” Charlie says with that award-winning smile of his plastered on his face while he places his guitar on its stand. “Definitely,” I agree as a rush of giddiness rushes through me. “I can’t wait for Emily and the Foxes’ debut performance!” Uncle Mitch claps his hands excitedly. “What time do you guys get on?” The boys all gather in the middle of the stage where my uncle and I already are. “Open Mic Night starts at 7, but we go on at 8,” I inform him. He nods in response and kisses me on the cheek. “I’ll be here, just need to go and do something first.” He waves at the boys before getting off stage again, leaving me and the boys. Charlie walks up to me then and wraps his arms around me. He smells of sweat and hard work and sticks to me like a sticker in a sticker book. “I’m not the only one that stinks,” I comment with a chuckle. Charlie pulls his arms away, but I just pull him closer. “We’ll stink together.” I kiss him on his cheek. “How about we all go take a shower and get ready, then meet here again at 7?” Owen suggests, hopping off the stage. Everyone agrees with him, following behind. “Emmy, can I shower at your place?” Charlie asks me on our way out. “Uhm, yeah, sure! What’s wrong with your place?” The look I get from him is one of regret and shame mixed together. “You seriously haven’t been back to your parents’?” I make sure not to sound angry, even though I am. My voice eludes disappointment, though. “I’ll go tonight, I promise.” I shake my head at him. “You know what?” I start and comb a strand of hair of his from his forehead, “How about we’ll go shower at my place and after the show tonight, we’ll go to yours together, okay?” I can’t stop the words coming out of my mouth. Did I just suggest I meet his parents? “Are you sure you want that, baby?” It’s now his turn to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. “Uhm… Yeah…” I think about it for a moment. It can’t be that bad. And besides, if that’s what it takes to get Charlie back at his parents’ house without him being yelled at too much, that’s what I’ll do. “Yeah, I’m sure!” He offers me a smile before planting a kiss to my lips. “Let’s do it, then!” He grabs my hand and leads me out of the Music Store, and together, we head to my house. He lets me shower first, and while I get ready, he takes a shower. I’m sat in front of my makeup mirror, applying some show makeup, when Charlie enters my bedroom again with solely a towel wrapped around his waist. My mascara wand stops mid-air when I spot him in the reflection of my mirror. His abs are defined and dripping with the water. I’m not entirely sure if he does it on purpose or not, but he changes right behind me where I can see him through my mirror. “You look very pretty, baby,” he tells me when he catches me looking at him through the mirror as he throws a muscle tank on. I cough fumblingly and bring my concentration back to my mascara. “I like the glitter eyeshadow a lot. It makes you sparkle like the star you are.” He comes up behind me and presses a kiss to my now dry hair. “I like your shirt,” I tell him, “Is that a new one?” “No, it’s Jeremy’s, actually. But he said he didn’t wear it anymore, so,” he shrugs. “You ready?” I screw the lid of the mascara back on while nodding and getting up. We meet the boys back at the Music Store, all of them giddy to perform. The closer we get to 8pm, the more nervous I become. Especially when I see who’s on the side of the stage, getting ready to go on before us. Brianna Holly and her girl band. “Hey!” Madison greets me when the boys and I are at the back of the venue. “You ready?” “I was until I found out Dirty Candy is going to perform,” I nod towards the backstage area. “I even forgot she had a band!” Madison’s eyes are wide in shock. “I bet she just asked her daddy to call in some favors.” I chuckle nervously. Madison is probably right, but it somehow feels like an attack on our band. As the bubblegum pop music starts to play, I glance up at the boys. They’re all looking at Brianna and her band with smiles on their faces until Charlie meets my eyes and turns the smile into a scowl. “Whenever I walk in the room All the focus on me The way I talk the way I move They all want on my team” “They’re not that great, you know?” he comments with a nervous smile. “I mean, they got great moves?” Owen chimes in without taking his eyes off Dirty Candy and trying to imitate their moves. It causes him to bump into Charlie and he bumps into me. “Sorry,” he whispers, his hands steadily on my shoulders. “Not tryin' to brag, brag But I'm flawless I'm taking over your playlist Ain't perfect but I can't miss, yeah The party don't start till I walk in I'm stealing all the attention Don't get me started on mentions, yeah” I catch Jake’s eye from the other side of the room. He looks like a bored roadie until he sees me, and then he looks like a sad roadie. “Someone’s not having fun at his girlfriend’s gig,” I say to Charlie, nodding towards my ex. Charlie’s eyebrows furrow. “I hope he’s gone by the time we’re playing.” I notice him ball up his fists, so I grab his hand to relax him a little. “Come on, babe, he’s your ex! You don’t want him watching you, do you?” “Maybe I do, Charlie, because then he’ll see I’ve moved on and I’m happy.” Charlie grunts and turns back towards the performance, but I catch him glancing at Jake every now and again. “Some might say I sound conceited They don't get the shine that I get Some get jealous They can't help it They wish they were me”

“Can he like stop looking this way?” Charlie grumbles. When Charlie’s angry, he looks like a grumpy puppy and does not look intimidating at all. But that might just be because I love him and I – oh… “I keep the party going all night, all night I set the trends that you all like, all like I make an entrance when I don't try, don't try Cuz all I see is all eyes on me” “You okay over there?” I ask Owen, who’s still mimicking the girls’ choreography. “I can’t help it… It’s my feet!” he replies, to which I just hum a ‘mmh-mmh’ the way Madi always does. “They’re good though!” “When I grow up I wanna be me be me I'm my own goals just talking honestly Must have won the lottery Ain't no one as hot as me Stealing looks its robbery Everywhere I go all eyes on me” I’m wishing this show is nearly over because I can feel Charlie tensing up beside me with the second. It does take my attention away from how nervous I am, though. “Char, relax,” I whisper and grab his hand, intertwining our fingers. This doesn’t only help Charlie calm down; it also helps making Jake jealous. Not that that’s why I’m doing it. “I only lead I never follow follow I never open cuz it's my show, my show Don't know if people think I'm shallow, shallow But all I see is all eyes on me”

“That’s it!” Charlie grumbles when the song’s over, and to my absolute surprise, grabs me by the face and kisses me full on the lips. I’m startled at first, but then melt into his touch and into his lips. This is the most passionate kiss I have ever shared with anyone, and I wish it wasn’t an attempt by my current boyfriend to make my ex-boyfriend jealous. It even takes me a while to get over the kiss once Charlie has pulled away. That cliché of seeing fireworks when you kiss someone you love isn’t a myth. It’s actually true. “Jesus, Charlie,” I hear Jeremy chuckle, “I think you broke Emily.” I look back at Jake, who’s now suddenly gone. I wonder if he actually saw what just happened. “Oh, look at that,” Brianna’s voice sends shivers down my spine and has me back on planet earth in no time. “Amateur hour is about to start.” Her posse stands behind her, trying to look intimidating. “Hey, Brianna, thanks for opening for us,” I tell her before pushing past her, hoping my band would follow. Which they do not. “Hey, himbos!” The three look at me, completely confused. “This is the part where you follow me to the stage.” They seemingly shake awake all of a sudden and rush after me like a huddle of puppies. The four of us get ready backstage while Ash announces us. “For the next half hour, you’ll be treated by one of the most talented bands of Los Feliz. Formerly known as Sunset Curve, I now present to you; Emily and The Foxes!” Applause and cheers erupt from the crowd, and I even hear someone whistling, though I’m sure that either Mitch or Madi. The boys get their instruments while I settle behind the keyboard. “Hi, everyone. We’re Emily and The Foxes. I wanted to dedicate this first song to my Uncle Mitchell,” I glance over at him on the front row, “I don’t want to get all emotional, so just listen to the song, okay? It says everything I haven’t been able to say.” The crowd laughs lightly, including my Uncle Mitch. I shake the nerves out of my hands and let my hands hover over the keys. “You got this,” Charlie’s voice sounds, and that’s enough for me to start playing the first notes. “Sometimes I think I'm falling down I wanna cry, I'm callin' out For one more try To feel alive And when I feel lost and alone I know that I can make it home Fight through the dark And find the spark” I glance over at the boys, who give me encouraging smiles, ready to rock in a second. “Life is a risk but I will take it Close my eyes and jump Together I think that we can make it Come on let's run and” The boys now join in, sending the crowd into a frenzy. I get out from behind the keyboard and join the boys in the middle of the stage. “Rise through the night you and I We will fight to shine together Bright forever And rise through the night you and I We will fight to shine together Bright forever” While Charlie takes the next verse, I walk up to the front of the stage where the crowd has gathered, away from their chairs. I grab my uncle’s hand and mouth the words along to him. “In times that I doubted myself I felt like I needed some help Stuck in my head With nothing left” I now turn back to the stage, joining Jeremy and Owen to rock out with them. “I feel something around me now So unclear lifting me out I found the ground I'm marching on” Jeremy rushes over to Charlie to sing the pre-chorus into the same mic, the same way they do during Now or Never. I turn my back to Owen, encouraging the crowd into cheering for the two singing boys. “Life is a risk but we will take it Close my eyes and jump Together I think that we can make it Come on let's run and” Charlie and I sing the next chorus together while Jeremy skips back to his mic, rocking out with his bass. “Rise through the night you and I We will fight to shine together Bright forever And rise through the night you and I We will fight to shine together Bright forever” I now walk over to Charlie and offer him to sing into my mic, luring him towards the middle of the stage, without ever breaking eye contact. “In times that I doubted myself I felt like I needed some help Stuck in my head With nothing left” I then turn my back towards him, but stay close, and while he rocks out on his guitar, I sing the next part of the bridge. “And when I feel lost and alone I know that I can make it home Fight through the dark, and find the spark” I hit the high note, just like I did that day in my bedroom when Charlie and I finished the song. All while the boys handle the chorus together. “And rise through the night you and I We will fight to shine together” “Shine together,” I echo “Bright forever” “Bright forever” I glance over at Uncle Mitch again which gives me the boost I need to sing the last chorus. “And rise through the night you and I We will fight to shine together Shine together Bright forever Bright forever” I hold my mic up in victory as the crowd cheers and applauds. The boys and I take a bow, soaking in the applause and cheers. This is something I could get used to. I just need to get through Music Academy and then I’ll be all-knowing about music to write even more and even better songs. In the meanwhile, I’ll just enjoy this for a while.

“That was awesome, you guys!” Madison screams excitedly when we get off stage after our set. The buzz of the crowd filing out surrounds us. “Thanks for that song, Muffin. It was perfect!” Mitch compliments, and I can tell he���s cried a bit. “The entire set was amazing. You guys did a great job!” This compliment is for the entire band. “Shall we go eat something together to celebrate?” I look up at a nervous Charlie. He knows what’s going to happen now. “I guess we could eat something,” my reply is exactly what Charlie needs. He shoots me a thankful smile, noticeably calming down a little. Our group leaves the Music Store after having said goodbye to Ash, and we make our way to the nearest Chinese restaurant. The conversation soon picks up again where it left off, talking about the show. “That high note in bright, Emily!” Jeremy says with an impressed tone. “I had the chills during Perfect Harmony!” Madison chimes in. Charlie and I exchange glances. That’s our song. Our little perfect magic thing. All ours. “And Wake Up too!” “Still thought it was missing a song though,” Uncle Mitch adds somberly. “No song is as great as The Other Side of Hollywood or Nothing Left to Lose, Uncle Mitch,” I reassure him with a smile. This group of people right here. That’s all I ever need in life. Nothing else. It’s the perfect group to fill up the hole in my heart Uncle Bobby left.

“You’re going to be okay, Char,” I tell him when we’re in front of his house and he’s taking a long time to ring the doorbell. I don’t push him, though. “Hey, look at me,” I order sweetly, cupping his face with my hands. “I’m here, okay? You got this.” I repeat the words I needed to hear at the start of the show, the words that always help me. And now, they help Charlie too. He reaches up and presses the doorbell. It takes a minute, but an older looking man opens up. His hair is graying, his face framed by thick-rimmed glasses. “Charlie,” he breathes out in relief. “Hi, dad…” Charlie stares at his feet. “Can—Can we come in?” His dad glances at me, a smile appearing on his face as he steps aside to let us inside. Charlie guides me into the living room, and for as far as I can see, every wall is filled with family photos. “Who is it?” a woman’s voice yells from the kitchen, and no second later, she appears in front of us with the most relieved look on her face I ever did see. “Charlie, baby!” She cries and reaches out to him to take him in for a hug. My heart warms at the sight of it. I can just imagine what it must be like to have a mother so concerned about their child. “I’m sorry, mom,” I hear Charlie whisper with a crack of his voice. I glance up at his father, tears pooling in my eyes and his, and we share a smile. A simple smile that acknowledges how the both of us feel. Charlie pulls away from his mother after a few moments and reaches out for my hand. “Oh, sweetie, I’m sorry,” Charlie’s mom sniffles as a shy smile shines through. “I’m Jean.” Charlie pulls me towards them gently as I reach out to shake Jean’s hand. “Emily,” I introduce myself with a smile. “Thank you for bringing our son back, Emily,” his father’s voice sounds from behind me, “I’m Patrick, by the way.” “Nice to meet you, Patrick,” I glance over at Charlie, “I’m pretty sure he would’ve found his way back to you guys anyway.” This makes all three Gillespies smile, and evidently, me too. “Come, child,” Jean grabs my hands, “Sit, sit!” she leads me towards the couch where she sits me down, Charlie taking a spot on my left and Jean on my right. Patrick opts for the armchair. “How did you meet our Charlie?” Jean queries, still holding onto my hands. “I work at the Music Store and Charlie just walked in one day and never stopped returning,” I leave some of the stuff out I thought on that first day I met him. “I just thought ‘Damn, my customer-service must be really good’.” Jean and Patrick laugh at this, and even Charlie can’t hide a smile. “Actually, your customer-service towards me wasn’t that great, Emmy. It was your voice that enchanted me that first day when you sang Wake Up,” says Charlie teasingly. “You’re a musician?” Patrick asks, perching up in his armchair. “I guess you could call it that. My uncle taught me to play guitar and piano, and we used to sing together at the top of our lungs. I’m now working to save up for the Music Academy, get a degree in music technology, so I actually know what I’m doing and go from there.” “She’s amazing, mom!” Charlie chimes in, “She’s even joined our band.” “Why don’t you get into this Music Academy, Charlie?” Jean asks him instead, the tension growing. “Get a degree so your future doesn’t depend on this band of yours.” “The Music Academy has just been a dream of mine and my Uncle Robert. Your son doesn’t need a degree in music. He’s born to do what he’s doing now,” I say, hoping it’ll thaw Jean’s heart a little, but I doubt it’s working. “Where I work, I meet a ton of musicians, we even have this monthly Open Mic Night where I had the privilege to hear your son play. Trust me, Jean, your son is a born Rockstar. People feel him when he plays. He gives them the serotonin they might not get in their daily life. That boy has magic in his fingers and his throat, it would be a shame if someone snuffed it out.” I glance at Charlie who offers me a tender smile. “I just don’t think music is a stable career. What if the band breaks up because they had a blowout? I love Jeremy and Owen to death, but you never know what happens.” I take a deep breath. This is where I lost my cool with my parents. I can’t do the same here because that’ll ruin everything for Charlie. I’m here to mend their relationship, not ruin it. “Is any career a stable career, really?” I let out an airy laugh. “There are so many musicians with stable careers, Jean, and I really, really think your son has what it takes to make it big out there with Jeremy and Owen. I’ve had the honor to spend time with all three of them and they’re like brothers. Always supportive of each other, always there to help. They’re the best of friends and nothing could ever break their bond, especially not the bond they have through music…” I trail off a little before taking a deep breath, “My parents kicked me out because I wanted to go to a college they didn’t approve of. That along with the passing of my uncle, I lost my connection with music a little but the guys, they brought that connection back into my life. Music is so important to all of us, especially to Charlie. Please, don’t take that away from him.” I notice a single tear escaping Jean’s eye, which is when I realize I’d started crying too. “I’m sorry you had to get through that, Emily,” Patrick chimes in, then turns to his wife, “What do you say, Jeanie? I think we should give Charlie the space to explore this Rockstar life of his.” I turn back to Jean, finding her nodding slowly. “Yeah, I think so too.” When I look at Charlie, he has the most surprised and tender look on his face as he and his mom get up and hug it out. “I really am proud of you, son.” I hear her whisper. Charlie looks at me from over his mother’s shoulder and offers me a thankful smile. At least I mended their relationship instead of ruining it like I did with my parents.

I didn’t even realize how late it was until Jean announced to us she was going to get to bed. Two am. We’ve been talking until two in the morning. After having mended the broken pieces between Charlie and his mom, we’d got entangled in a conversation about the band and life in general. These people are the nicest ever and I wish I could spend more time with them. “If you want, you can stay over tonight,” Jean tells me as she gets up. “Oh, uhm…” I glance over at Charlie, who’s just nodding his head. “Yeah, sure. Thank you.” She places a hand on my shoulder, looking me straight in the eye with the most thankful smile. “No, thank you,” she says and leaves the living room. “You’re a good egg, Emily. Welcome to the family,” Patrick tells me before heading upstairs with his wife. My heart is full. I almost feel as loved as the day of Uncle Robert’s anniversary of his passing when all the boys and Madi came over. I can’t believe my life. “If you want, you can stay in the guest room. You know, if you don’t feel comfortable sharing a bed with me,” Charlie says shyly, fidgeting with the bracelet around my wrist. “No, it’s fine,” his face lights up, “You’re the best cuddler anyway.” I lean in and press my lips to his before he grabs my hand and leads me up the stairs. In his bedroom, he hands me a shirt of his to sleep in, and then leaves to change in the bathroom, so I have some privacy in here. Once dressed – or half dressed in his shirt, I text Uncle Mitch to tell him I won’t be sleeping at home and begin looking around Charlie’s room. His walls are filled with band posters and the regular family picture scattered around. “Are you dressed?” I hear his voice from behind me, and when I turn around, I find him covering his eyes near the bedroom door. I chuckle, shaking my head amusedly, before walking up to him and taking his hands away from his face. “Oh, you are,” he breathes out and shuts the door. For a few seconds, we just stare at each other, smiling like complete fools. He then leads me towards his bed where we lie down, facing each other. “Thank you for what you said downstairs,” he whispers, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, and leaving his hand on my neck. My hand reaches up to rest on his, my thumb rubbing circles on his skin. “It really means a lot.” “Just because I lost my parents because they didn’t support my dream, doesn’t mean your parents can’t either,” I tell him and press a kiss to his nose. “And you really are a gifted musician. You made me fall in love with writing songs with someone else again.” “And you made me fall in love again,” he adds with a careful smile tugging at his lips. “That too,” I respond, which only makes his smile grow before he presses his lips to mine. Ever since meeting Charlie, my life has changed so much. After what felt like the longest and worst year of my life, I finally feel alive again. I feel loved again. Like my body’s filled up with this fire that just ignites more and more energy to live again. Charlie and our music were that spark that ignited it all.

‘I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don’t understand; in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.’ I’ve had the past week off of work, so I ended up doing a lot of reading! I hope you all enjoy these incredible stories 💕

Pairing: EZ Reyes x Camila (OC)

Warnings: None really

Word count: 2.1k 

***This one is a little shorter because there will be the first spat soon and I wanted to make sure it was just right. Rather than rushing it for this part, I decided to make this one a little shorter and give y’all a full scene in the next chapter 👀***

“So, which one do you like best?”

Camila stepped back and motioned to the outfits laid out on her bed, EZ stepping up and looking them over. The first was a blush-toned baby pink dress, long and flowing with a deep neckline and EZ nodded, already feeling drawn to that one.

“You know I love you in pink.”

Camila gave a nod and a smile, holding onto his bicep.

“I know you do.”

EZ returned her smile and leaned down to kiss her temple before standing back up and looked at the other two outfits. The second was a light beige dress that came mid-thigh, hanging off the shoulders with an empire waist and EZ loved that one too. The last was a simple black dress, nothing extravagant or flashy about it and EZ liked that. It had sleeves to the elbows and a high neckline. With a wince, he rubbed the back of his neck.

“This is hard, Cam. I can tell they’re all gonna look good on you. I can’t even pick.”

She laughed and shrugged, leaning her head against his shoulder as she looked over the outfits herself.

“I know, that’s why I figured I’d ask you.”

EZ reached forward and ran a finger over the materials, his eyes still drawn to the pink one.

“I wish you had the beige dress, but in pink.”

“Now’s not the time to be picky, Ezekiel.”

EZ laughed and so did Camila, him turning towards her and grabbing her arms, pulling them to wrap around his neck and then wrapping his own around her waist.

“You could show up in a potato sack and you’re still going to be the most beautiful girl there.”

A roll of her eyes, a blush and a smile were what he got from her as she held onto him.

“Such as sweet talker.”

EZ’s smirk appeared as his hands made their way to her hips.  

“I gotta get my game back. I was around nothing but dudes for eight years.”

Camila shook her head before cocking it to the side.

“So, I’m the guinea pig?”

EZ shrugged and gave his panty dropping smile.

“I mean… how am I doing?”

Camila eyed him as she pulled her arms away from him, wearing a smirk of her own as she started walking away from him, looking at him over her shoulder.

“A+. Now come help me rinse off these tomatoes before your dad gets here.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

The two stood side by side working in tandem as they had done so many times before. Their process was down to a science now. Camila washed and rinsed the vegetables, placing them down onto the towel to dry some and wait for EZ who would pat them dry completely and then place them into the basket that sat atop her kitchen counter. They spent many nights or mornings this way when EZ was available, just enjoying her company.

Things had been running smoothly ever since he had told her the truth about Kevin and taking the deal two weeks ago, a certain harmony between them now that she felt he was letting her in, and he didn’t have the guilt of keeping her out. They spent as much time together as possible, her hanging out with Angel often as well, two peas in a pod. EZ had been in her home more than he had been in his trailer and had taken Angel’s advice, leaving some clothes at her place for those nights where their dates of movies and popcorn ran too late and she had him stay with her overnight.

Now here she was, drying off her harvest of tomatoes from this morning that she had picked especially for Felipe. She’s offered for him to come by her house and he’d accepted, telling her he would be by later in the afternoon. Now here she was, working feverishly to make sure Felipe had the brightest, cleanest, plumpest tomatoes of the bunch ready to go. EZ finished drying off the last one and rolled his shoulders.

“I’m gonna use the bathroom really quick.”

Camila nodded and pointed to the bathroom in her bedroom.

“Use mine. The guest one is a mess, I started painting it a different color finally.”

EZ nodded and reached for her, placing his hand softly on the back of her neck and pulling her forward so he could press a kiss to her forehead. She smiled as she always did and looked up at him with the same twinkle she always got. EZ prayed silently that she would never lose that sparkle when she looked at him. His goal was to make sure he did whatever he had to do to ensure that that look of love remained. He pulled away and headed toward her bathroom as Camila stayed, making sure that all of Felipe’s tomatoes looked perfect. He walked in and smiled as he saw the three dresses that she was still torn between, hanging on her mirror, no doubt after she had tried them all on and compared. One laying off to the side of her dresser caught his attention though and he walked over, gripping the hanger and lifting the dress so he could see it. It was a soft beige chiffon dress, flowing with draped sleeves and waist, a slit in the front where the fabric overlapped. It was simple yet elegant, sexy yet not too revealing for a vow renewal and EZ could immediately picture her in it, the golden hue of her skin a nice contrast to the lighter material, the slopes of her hips accentuated by the fabric and yet hidden by it as well, the material shifting as she walked.

EZ had never been a number one fan of heels in particular, not thrilled with the strain it put on the woman wearing them or the soreness that they often had after a night of being in them. Camila in heels was a weakness of his though, he had quickly realized the night that they had gone out for their first real date. He hadn’t seen her in any since and his eyes drifted over into the closet, locking on a pair that matched the color of the dress in his hands. Already he could see her in the outfit, and he furrowed his brows wondering why she hadn’t shown him this one.

“Cam, come here.”

She called out to him, telling him that she was coming, a smile on her face as she walked in holding a particularly large tomato.

“This is the best one that I have. Your dad will like it.”

Her smile fell some as she looked at him holding the dress though.

“Oh, I didn’t take that one out for you to pick, I was just out.”

EZ nodded and turned toward her, holding it up higher as he looked it over.

“Why not? This is my favorite, more than the ones that you showed me. I mean, you would look beautiful in all of them but this,”

He trailed off and she blushed, putting her hands down to her sides as she walked up to him.

“I don’t know. I feel like it’s too much.”

The prospect shook his head and looked back at her, his smile bright as he placed it down onto her bed gently.

“It’s not. That’s the one.”

Camila arched her eyebrows and ran her finger over the fabric, taking hold of the still attached tag.

“I bought it like, two years ago and I’ve still never worn it. I thought it was gorgeous, but I never really felt like I had a place to wear it.”

EZ walked up closer to her and rested his hand on her back, looking down at her.

“Well, now you do. It’s not too much, it’s perfect. Wear it.”

She beamed and nodded softly, grabbing the dress to hang it up by the mirror and put the others back in the closet, happy that she had finally gotten to a decision with the event only two days away. Camila turned back around to face EZ and they shared a smile, her doorbell ringing in the background. EZ laughed as her eyes lit up, Camila hurrying out of the room with her tomato in hand to answer the door for Felipe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Felipe looked around, his head tilted back some as he took in a deep breath of the fresh air. The sun shone brightly, casting down in warm beams on his skin. There was a slight breeze, Camila’s bigger fruit trees blowing gently in the wind. His eyes roamed around, and he kept walking around slowly his shoes padding on the steppingstones. He walked through the garden by himself, Camila and EZ back in the house. Felipe’s eyes fell on a separate pot over to the corner by the bench and he walked over to it, sitting down. It was a baby, the soil fresh and still messy around the edge, Camila having just planted it this morning. It was small, only the beginning of the budding white flower but Felipe smiled with both sadness and nostalgia as he looked at it, recalling the time that Marisol had bought the seeds for the very same flower and had planted it as her first one.

He recalled the smile that was on her face the day she went out and saw the beginning of the green leaves starting to sprout from the soil. He’d thought her happiness was unmatched, until the day that the petals bloomed. She had taken care of that flower and had then gotten into gardening even more, flowers everywhere as a result of her green thumb. She kept various flowers outside in the garden and always had something on the counter, changing them out every week, but that orchid stayed in their bedroom and never moved. She kept it alive and well, but when she died, it died along with her and it was then that Felipe had thrown it away with a heavy heart, the brown withered petals a sick metaphor for how his life was also falling apart.

He reached over and ran the tip of his finger over the petal of the orchid, giving a smile as he stared at it unaware of the eyes that were watching him from inside. EZ was in the kitchen getting something to drink but Camila was there at the sliding door that led to the garden, watching her boyfriend's father stare at her new plant. She turned away as she saw him wipe at his eye, feeling like she was intruding and thought to herself knowing that she already had an idea of what she might suggest to EZ about getting him for Christmas.

Walking away from the window, she went into the kitchen and saw EZ at the fridge, bent over and looking inside. She smiled to herself and quietly sidled up, slapping his ass playfully and letting out a laugh as he jerked, looking back at her and shaking his head. He grabbed the beer her was eyeing and stood back up straight, turning to eye her.

“That’s inappropriate.”

She scoffed and leaned her head back incredulously.

“Oh, so you can cop a feel, but I can’t?”

“Your butt is nicer than mine.”

At that Camila shook her head, a playful grin on her face as she looked up at him.

“I beg to differ.”

Within seconds, it turned into an ass slapping contest, both turning around in circles trying to get the other, laughter filling the house so much so that neither heard the sliding glass door opening as Felipe made his way back into the house. He looked over at the sound and couldn’t help but smile, seeing his son happy and in love, much like he had once been. He stayed quiet in the corner, simply observing as Camila caught up to EZ, landing a particularly harsh spank that had EZ hissing slightly and rubbing the seat of his jeans all while her joy-filled laugh bounced off the walls. They both noticed Felipe’s presence then, a blush coming over Camila as she realized he had been there the whole time. She apologized with a hand on her chest, out of breath slightly from the horseplay.

“Sorry about that.”

The oldest Reyes shook his head and stepped forward with a genuine smile, wrapping both of his arms around their shoulders and pulling them in, leaving a kiss to both of their foreheads one after the other.

“No need to be sorry, mija. This keeps an old man like me young.”

Both she and EZ smiled at that as Felipe released them, looking at the pile of vegetables Camila had on the counter, a very familial vibe in the house.
