@cloudedwrath / “ Look. It’s Louis, right? ” It isn’t, and she knows it. “ You could go for the whole EMOTIONAL blackmail thing, get whatever you want out of me. Slide you a hundred, give you a handjob in your mom’s Subaru. I don’t care. I want my fucking CAT. ” Finger drum against the counter, more aggressively than impatiently or absently — a ticking time bomb of you better give me what I want. It’d barely been 48 hours since Pippa shoed Madonna ( her cat, she had clarified, to the mystified looking boy ) away from Hester’s cage, and since the tiny ragdoll had angrily bolted out of the pet flap Pippa’d asked her father a million and one times to contact SOMEONE to board up or remove. Madonna hadn’t come back meowing for her wet food at six P.M. the way she usually did, and in Pippa’s own worry ( with that stupid fucking hamster grinning at her gleefully, she just KNEW it ), had rung up the animal shelter in hopes her cat had been scooped off the streets. She HAD, and Pippa assumed that would be the end of that, even in her drive down to the shelter. But the demanding of ID and papers she didn’t have ( a lockbox in the attic somewhere she wasn’t granted key to ) had left her more than frustrated. “ Remember? Pippa Espina — the number I CALLED FROM is on file. ” A pen is flicked off the ledge and over to his position behind the counter, where Pippa considered him lucky to be, unless he wanted to get clocked. “ You were a freshman in math, I was retaking it because I flunked. Mrs. Grasso’s class. Ringing ANY bells of, ‘ hey, sorry for taking so long in the back. I was brushing my hair so I looked SLIGHTLY less like a thrift store hobbit. I know you’re not trying to kidnap a fucking cat? ’ ”

@dreambruised / truthfully, interactions between the two of them had been extremely limited in the wake of the finality of their breakup — and the older’s decision to skip town rendered their conversations wholly to one or two awkward chance meetings in the time period since. THUS, high expectations of avoidance had been shattered when phone rang, familiar number displayed on caller id. even more so when formalities were over and the REVELATION that the call was in fact for her ( it all boiled down to one request: come pick up your shit. ) the trek was made across town, the last SLIVER of politeness left in her bringing her saturday afternoon to a halt out in front of his house. a drive she’d made a million and one times before, always parked around the corner as to not alert any semblance of suspicion. but now, with graduation out of the way and joseph estrada’s reintroduction to sheffield as a weighty enough excuse, she was able to go to the front door instead of the back, head held HIGH instead of ducked down to her chin, long dark locks hopefully covering he face just enough. there was a sense of maturity in a lack of shame, but it mostly made her uncomfortable. as if she was playing dress up in a world she didn’t belong in: one of reasonable agreements and no crying or screaming until your throat was raw, no clandestine meetings and under the table rendezvous. just a simple walk from a simple car to a simple house. nothing more, nothing less. 

she knocks at the door. car keys are twirled nervously between her fingers, the only thing to keep her preoccupied in the moments before the door was opened — not enough, seemingly, because they felt like hours. shit, she hoped he had a cardboard box or something, so she could stuff everything in her trunk and forget about it. then: a familiar face, and she’s out of her element. she isn’t batting petty insults and refusing to look him in the eye on home turf. this is something entirely different, entirely new, and entirely awkward. she clears her throat and squares her jaw, attempting to look as passively ANNOYED as possible, a look long perfected. “ hey. ”

@vampiresmiled / she’s already tipsy when she sits down next to him, squeezed together on the loveseat in pippa’s own living room. for once, she’s playing hostess instead of getting plastered and ducking out the door before clean up, and it never fails to bother her when someone, even out of the corner of her eye, is bringing down her MOOD. drink in hand, she raises her voice over the blare of the music, shoving a second glass loaded with rum and a splash of coca cola into his hand. “ do you always have to look like you’d rather kill yourself than be wherever you are, apolskis? ”

@vampiresmiled​ / she feels like she’s sixteen again, lurking outside grocery stores and asking randoms to please please please buy her a bottle of grey goose, with a promise of paying extra. but a wednesday at eleven in the morning ( why the fuck is she even awake? she’s hungover as hell. ) with no newports or marlboro reds to be found anywhere in her room, she made her way down in the freezing cold weather to the local drug store. sitting on the curb outside main street, her car was too far away to sit in it with engine idling, and thus, hands were rubbed together against wintry february wind. she’d promptly been kicked out of the store by the pimple faced cashier after trying to dart out of the store with a pack due to a lack of proper payment in her possession — she was not walking back to her car to grab a forgotten wallet. “ hey, lady. ” she stops the first head she’s seen in five minutes as bells jingle to alert pippa of the presence of another. she stands up, making her way over to the older. “ you wouldn’t happen to be feeling charitable enough to let me bum a cig, right? ” her jacket smells of cigarette smoke, so at least someone in their house has to be flicking lighters on a daily basis. at least pippa does it outside.
