there was something about the end of the day — when everyone was filing off campus … or back to their respective dorms. it was calm — peaceful, even. there were so few people walking on the outskirts of campus that she couldn't help but do it herself. it gave her time to think. moments of utter silence were so unbelievably rare these days. a sound touches her ears — it was light , at first. curiosity drives her forward. she wasn't an investigator — not by any means. typically pretty good at minding her own business. however, the music was nice. she recognized the song almost instantly. she just had to see who was playing. she stops at the door, trying to peer in without interrupting them. but — alas, whomever it was, had positioned themselves just out of view.
she pauses, considering. then, finally, she pushes the door open. spotting a girl with a foot in the water. her guitar positioned in her lap. it brought a smile to holly's face. the sound seemed to change, with the door open, so she slid inside and let it shut quietly behind her. she had to tell the girl how amazing her music was.
sometimes , at the end of classes , josie liked to sneak into the pool with her guitar to sing a few songs in the comfort of her own presence. there were only a few times that someone entered the pool area when she was there but it was rare. with one foot in the water, josie began playing her guitar and began playing roses by the chainsmokers ; one of her absolute favourite songs.

eyes raise from her phone , brow raising curiously . teeth tug her bottom lip inwards , pondering the situation for a moment before finally : ❝ i mean , you could always slap a dirty joke on the front of it. ❞ an amused smirk lifts onto her features , ❝ you know , make'em laugh 'n they'll buy your shit. ❞ she had been laid on her belly , staring at her phone , rather than the book that was open in front of her. she was supposed to be studying. however , that hadn't really worked out. finally , she pulls herself up into a sitting position. crossing her legs in front of her. ❝ if not that , then just slap titties on the cover. they'll appreciate that, too. ❞
“ my market research class just gave me the most insane assignment – i’ve been given a mock brand and they only sell sponges, and somehow i have to figure out how to market it exclusively to men. i have no idea how to pitch it ; what man on this earth actually cares enough about a 3-pack of different colored sponges ? ”

BROTHER. florian alexander briars , deceased .
she never wanted her brother , after his birth , she grew very resentful towards him because of how much attention it took away from her. however, she grew to like him. she even loved him , eventually .
OVERVIEW.
she was born at exactly 9:30 in the morning. her mother had a c - section . her grandmother was stood at her daughter's side , since her father wasn't in the picture.
her entire family was in the waiting room — anxiously waiting to hear the gender. they erupted in applause as soon as she was announced.
without her grandmother , eliza , they wouldn't have made it. eliza watched holly a lot growing up and took her to all of her school functions and made sure that she had things to do after school.
holly's mother adored her and tried to be around as much as she could — but she was doing everything possible to keep a roof over their heads + food in their bellies.
she worked two jobs throughout the entirety of holly's childhood.
when holly was nine, her mother fell pregnant with a little boy.
holly was excited, right up until florian was born. his birth took the attention away from her , and she grew very frustrated with him.
it took her a good year and a half of constant contact with him before she got even remotely comfortable with him. around two, she had even grown to love him.
he died when he was three. she was getting ready to turn thirteen. abigail had left them alone for thirty minutes. so she could shower & stuff while they were playing in the medium - sized pool they had in the yard.
it had been entirely accidental. really , it had.
holly was just a kid. she was playing with him — tossing him around as she'd seen her mother do countless times. they were having a blast.
her mom's phone rang , and she left him on his floaty to go answer it .
in the two minutes that she was out of the pool , her brother fell into the water. he'd inhaled so much water that even after she jerked him from the bottom … he was unconscious.
she panicked — believing that he was dead and she took off .
when the police finally picked her up , she was questioned thoroughly. they believed her story , which was the truth.
her mother , distraught , utterly withdrew from her. underneath it all , she truly believed that her daughter had killed her brother out of jealousy.
she tried to gather evidence against her daughter on the downlow — but there wasn't any. everything that holly had said lined up. eventually holly stopped trying.
they coexisted until finally , holly found out about her mother's beliefs when she was seventeen.
her mother finally exploded and kicked her out — telling her that she did believe that she killed florian on purpose.
she lived with her grandmother , eliza , until she graduated high-school. soon after that eliza died .
she left her granddaughter everything she had in the will.
which is how holly lives the rather lavish life that she does .
( full bio coming soon on my blog .. )
