I would absolutely love for at least one of my friend groups to completely go all out for me for my birthday. The way girls at school get huge sashes and gift baskets from their friends. I've never really had that. I've never really had a group of friends band together to do something super special for my birthday aside from getting on call with my two best besties to play roblox. Which i guess is a bit disheartening because I've organized stuff like this for several people. I've put together calls so we could all sing happy birthday to someone and celebrate with them. Hell, not even a birthday celebration, but i once organized a going away party with my entire friend group for one of our friends who was moving to another state, because i loved them i wanted to them to know they'd be loved and missed by us. It would be nice to be on the receiving end of that but also it feels really silly to just Ask my friends to plan something special for me cause 1. Those are supposed to be surprises 2. I know it is My birthday and I have every right want to be treated like the center of the universe but I still feel very selfish asking people Hey can you make this day all about me and put effort into it please. Also it feels less genuine when people have to be Asked to celebrate me yknow. Idk maybe the realization that I'm turning 18 years old is finally fully kicking and that's what's got me down lately but man. For my birthday I really just want to know that I'm loved and wanted and not a nuisance that pisses people off every time I open my mouth
#Also and this is where I get really annoying but most of the time I don't get gifts from people who aren't my family#My last birthday i got gifts from two people out of my several friends and friend groups who really didn't do much#Other than wish me happy birthday or my two friends who always get on roblox with me#Which is also disheartening because i try to make gifts for everyone for their birthdays and christmas#If it's not something huge like the animatic and the animation meme and the attempted pmv I made then it's a thoughtful art piece#And if it's not that then it's at least singing them happy birthday and giving them a hug and letting them know I love them#Which I'm not gonna stop doing and I will never stop doing#I have too much love in my heart to ignore someone's birthday out of spite and I do not make things expecting something in return#Even if someone never ever gives me a birthday gift I will still give something to them every year because I don't want to be bitter#But I guess it just gets tiring after a while#Trying to do everything for everyone while barely anyone puts in the same effort for me#Again I'm not gonna ask anyone for a gift cause 1. Selfish 2. Disingenuous if it needed to be asked for#I guess I just wish more people valued me enough that they'd already do all this stuff for me#Make me gifts and treat me like I matter the most#Because I know i try to do that for everyone else#Idk I still feel selfish saying all this but also it's My 18th Birthday I think I deserve to be a little selfish#Man I need to go to bed midnight is always when I get ungodly sad over things I have no control over#harry osborn or whatever the fuck the new generation says /j

IN LIFE, IN DEATH...
PART SEVEN
:Masterlist:
Warnings: none, I think :)
A/N: ahh weâre getting dangerously close to Unsaid Emily territory, folks. Also idk if Iâve said this before but feedback is always welcomed and appreciated! <3
-
âThis isnât gonna work.â
You said as you watched the boys practice their apology song for Julie for the dozenth time. Alex just glared at you in response as he crouched behind Luke, and you tried to contain your laughter as the side gate clicked open and Julie walked into the studio.
Reggie immediately burst into song and Luke followed, then Alex popped out from behind Lukeâs back. Once the song was over, Julie stared at them with a blank expression.
âIn case you missed it,â Reggie said. âWeâre really sorry.â
Julie sighed. âYeah, I got that part.â
âLook, it wasnât okay that we flaked on the dance,â Luke explained. âWe know we let you down.â
âYeah, we never wanted to disappoint you.â Alex said. âYouâre the best thing that happened to us since we became ghosts.â
âIn hopes that youâll rejoin the band,â Luke pulled the poster out from behind his back. âWe booked a new gig.â
Julie didnât say anything as she ran her fingers across the paper. You could tell that she was still upset by the way she kept her eyes trained on it.Â
Reggie cleared his throat. âItâs a mind-blowing, life-changing gig.â
âThereâs going to be all kinds of managers there. All we gotta do is blow their minds and weâll be living the dream.â
âSo this is important to you, huh?â Julie said, finally looking up at them. âLike the dance was important to me?â
Alex stepped forward. âWe know we messed up.â
âBut we need you in the band.â Luke finished and Julie rolled her eyes.
âOf course you do. Because without me, no one would be able to see you play.â Julie said, turning to Luke. âI thought the music we were making was special, but youâre too obsessed with your past to even care.â
âI do care!â Luke insisted. âWe have a chance at greatness. I donât want it to slip away from us again.â
âSo then why did you bail on me and (Y/n) to get back at Trevor?â Julie crossed her arms as Luke stared at her with sad eyes. âIâll tell you why. Because the only thing you care about is yourself.â
Luke glued his eyes to his shoes and Julie whirled around and marched back towards the house with the flyer still clutched in her fist.Â
âLuke-â You stepped towards him but he phased away, leaving the studio clouded in sadness.Â
âWhere do you think heâs going?â Reggie asked.
âWhere do you think?â Alex sighed. âRemember what today is?â
Even though Luke had never really cared about birthdays, you knew that his eighteenth was one he had been looking forward to all his life. Your heart broke for him when you realized that this was the way he would have to spend it.
You tugged his old jacket over your shoulders and looked towards the house. âWe need to tell her.â
âAbout his mom?â Alex asked and you nodded.
âHe canât spend his birthday like this.â
Alex and Reggie both looked a little hesitant but nodded, following your lead as you poofed into the Molinaâs living room.
Julie was on the couch, pouring over a textbook. She didnât even look up when you all phased in front of her.
âHey.â Alex approached her carefully. âGot a second?â
Julie kept her focus on the book and you sat next to her, using your best pleading look. âJulie, please.â
She finally looked up at you. â(Y/n), I already told you, I canât be in the band.â
âI know.â You said. âBut just, listen to us for a second, okay?â
Julie closed her book and set it on the table before looking at you all expectantly.Â
âLuke isnât as selfish as you think.â Alex said and Reggie nodded in agreement.
âYou remember that song in his journal? About Emily?â You asked and Julieâs eyebrows furrowed. âWe wanna show you who itâs about.â
 -
The Patterson house was almost exactly like you remembered it.
Dozens of memories swirled around in your mind as you walked up the pathway to the patio and crouched behind a chair. You could see Emily and Mitch in the window, Emily blinking tears out of her eyes as she frosted a triple chocolate fudge cake, Lukeâs favorite.Â
And as if that wasnât enough to break your heart, Luke sat on the counter with his head propped up against his knees.
âEmily is his mom?â Julie asked, her voice light.
âYeah, he comes here a lot.â Alex said. âHe thinks we donât know, but weâve been following him.â
You close your eyes as a pit of guilt opens in your stomach. You had been so wrapped up in your stupid feelings that you didnât notice how much Luke was hurting.
âAll he does is sit and watch them.â Reggie explained. âThey donât do much though.â
âTheyâre eating cake. Thatâs something.â Julie said.
âItâs a birthday cake.â You managed, avoiding everyoneâs eyes as their heads snapped towards you. âFor him.â
âAnd itâs even harder for him âcause he left on bad terms.â Alex said. âHis parents didnât want their seventeen year old in a rock band. So he ran away.â
You watched as Mitch lit a candle in the center of the cake and gripped Emilyâs hand across the table. Luke leaned forward and blew it out immediately, making them share a look of confusion.
âThatâs why Luke was so mad.â Reggie twisted his fingers. âIf Trevor gave him credit for the songs, then they wouldâve known that it was all worth it.â
âThat his dreams were worth chasing.â You finished, another wave of guilt washed over you. You hadnât been thinking about Lukeâs parents when you fought with him about the old songs, and now you wished you could take everything back and haunt the hell out of Bobby.
Emily and Mitch blew out the candle again and Luke sank back into his chair, staring at his parents as tears streamed down his face. Julie sniffled next to you and more than ever, you wished you could hug your friend.
Alex stood up. âWe all know how much it hurts when someone who shouldâve had your back completely lets you down. We never meant to make you feel like that.â
âWe love our band, and Luke does too.â Reggie said. âPlease give us another chance.â
Julie took one last look into the window before she nodded. âOkay.â
You all shared sad smiles and you cleared your throat. âWell, then I think we have a gig to rehearse for.â
 -
As you walked back into the studio, you couldnât stop thinking about your fight with Luke.
How it mustâve felt for him to feel like you werenât on his side when he was just trying to make his parents proud. You had been so caught up in your feelings of him ignoring you and being late to the dance that you didnât stop to think about how he was feeling.
âActually, guys,â You walked over to the couch and shrugged Lukeâs old jacket on your shoulders. âStart without me. Thereâs something I have to do.â
âOh?â Alex teased. âI wonder what?â
âAnd if it has anything to do with our birthday boy.â Reggie finished, wiggling his eyebrows.
âDo you guys want to die again?â You said and they both raised their hands in surrender. âIâll be back soon.â
They just smirked at you knowingly as you felt yourself poof away into your old bedroom.
It was exactly the way you had left it.
Old pictures and countless band posters plastered all over your walls, a messy bed, and clothes everywhere. It was like time had been frozen in here, and as you looked around, it almost felt like you were alive again.Â
Like at any minute, your mom would walk in and kiss your cheek. Or there would be a soft knock at your window and it would be Luke sneaking over for movie night.
But then reality came crashing back in when you looked over to your dresser and you spotted the thing you had come for.Â
It was a small, dirty shoebox covered in faded stickers. You were thankful that your mom mustâve recognized it as something important and didnât throw it away. No doubt she remembered helping you dig it up in 1995, just days before the Orpheum show.
You looked down and smiled at the words carved on the surface of the lid in Lukeâs handwriting,Â
Luke and (Y/n)âs Time Capsule!
Open on 18th birthday :)
You snorted, realizing his writing was exactly the same as when he was six. You wiped the surface of the box off with your sleeve and tucked it under your arm. Technically, you werenât meant to open this until you were eighteen, but also, you were technically dead, so you figured your six year old self would forgive you.
With one last look at your old bedroom, you poofed away from your house and into the studioâs loft where you quickly tucked the shoebox behind an old guitar case before making your way down the ladder.
Julieâs voice floated through the air and you joined in, taking your spot next to her on the piano bench. She gave you a teasing look and you jokingly glared at her as the song ended and Luke suddenly phased into the chair across from you.
âJulie?â He asked, stunned. âWhat made you come back?â
âI realized that music is important to all of us.â Julie shrugged. âWeâve already lost so much, we canât lose this too.â
Luke nodded, a trace of a smile on his face. âThanks.â
âOh, and happy birthday, by the way.â She said and Luke smiled as he grabbed his guitar. âLetâs go from the pre-chorus.â
Alex started the countdown.â1...2...3...4!â
You looked over at Luke, expecting him to be looking down at his guitar as he played but his eyes met yours. He winked as he came closer to sing with you, making you laugh. As he stopped in front of the piano, you realized that while it sucked, being a little distant from Luke had itâs advantages.Â
At least then, you didnât have to pretend that every little thing he did made your heart skip a beat.
 -
âKnock, knock.â You called out from behind Julieâs bedroom door, pulling Reggieâs arm back from inside the room.
âCome in.â She said and you all walked through the door.Â
âWhat are you still doing up here?â Luke asked when he saw her snuggled up in her bed. âWe go on in like twenty minutes.â
Julie sighed. âI lied to my dad so Iâm stuck in here all night.â
âBut we were just at the venue.â Alex said. âIt was packed with people and managers. Itâs kinda crazy.â
âMy aunt is right downstairs.â Julie crossed her arms. âThereâs no way I can get past her.â
Luke scoffed as he walked over to the window and pulled it open. âWell, itâs a good thing that youâre not taking the stairs.â
Julieâs jaw dropped, looking at you all with wide eyes. âI canât sneak out!â
You sat down on the bed across from her. âCâmon, Molina. Live a little.â
Her eyes went back and forth between you and the boys hesitantly but she eventually gave in with a mischievous glint in her eye. âOkay. Letâs do this.â
-
By the time you all got to the venue, it was even more packed than before.
Every table was full and you could tell by their clothes that they were definitely in the music business. Your attention was pulled to the stage when upbeat music started playing as Carrie started to sing.
You turned to talk to Julie but then there was a bright flash on stage and Alex landed in the middle of the dancers. Julie looked around confused, but you just laughed as he followed Carrie around the stage and copied her moves.
You laughed and cheered for him. âWoo! Go, Alex!â
As the song ended, he posed and bowed before poofing back to your group with a pink tint on his cheeks. âI was just doing that for you guys.â
Reggie snickered. âUh-huh. You can stop smiling now.â
Julie watched Carrie leave the stage with a conflicted look on her face. âIâm not gonna lie, that was pretty good.â
Flynn nodded. âYeah, I kinda forgot why I hate her so much.â
As if on cue, Carrie came strutting off stage and laughed as she looked Flynn and Julie over. âHey, girls. Isnât past your bedtime?â
âNow I remember.â Flynn said with a stiff smile.
Carrie looked over at Julie. âIf youâre looking for Nick, he didnât come.â
More than ever, you wished someone could see you purely so you could give her the finger. Being a jerk for no reason was bad enough, but taunting Julie about Nick was unfair.
âActually, thatâs not why Iâm here.â Julie said as she took a step closer.
On the stage, the accouncer spoke into the mic. âAlright, looks like we have one more act tonight. âJulie and The Fat Onesâ.â
Carrie and her group laughed and you turned to Luke, dropping your voice to a whisper.Â
âOkay, I know itâs not the right time. But I totally told you that would happen.â You teased, thinking back to that morning when you filled out the sheet and Luke insisted that his handwriting would be legible enough.
Luke scrunched his nose at you. âShut up.â
You snorted as Julie walked up to the stage and sat in her spot behind the piano. She put her mic in the holder and took a deep breath. âItâs actually âJulie and The Phantomsâ.â
When the crowd quieted down, Julie started to play the opening. The gentle piano bored some people and you watched as they turned back to their conversations. But then Julie started to sing and caught everyoneâs attention.
âHearts on fire,
Weâre no liars,
So we say what we want to say.
Iâm awakened,
No more fakinâ
So we push all our fears away,â
You felt yourself getting more excited as it came closer to your cue. You hadnât played for this many people since you died, and even though you were a little nervous, you were filled with a need to perform again.
âDonât know if Iâll make it cause Iâm falling down under,
Close my eyes and feel my chest beating like thunder,
I wanna fly, come alive,
Watch me shine!â
You all appeared on the stage and if people werenât paying attention before, they definitely were now. You heard shocked gasps over the music and smiled, grabbing your mic and joining in on the chorus.
âI got a spark in me,
Hands up if you can see,
And youâre a part of me,
Hands up if youâre with me,
Now till eternity,
Hands up if you believe,
Been so long and now
Weâre finally free.â
You watched as Luke walked over to Alexâs drum set, playing along with Reggie as you and Julie made it to the front of the stage.
âWeâre all bright now,
What a sight now,
Coming out like weâre fireworks,
Marching on proud,
Turn it up loud,
âCause now we know what weâre worth,â
Luke settled back behind his spot and smirked, his hair falling in his eyes as he shook his head to the beat. You kept your eyes on him as he played, and Luke winked at you in response. Even though you hadnât done it in forever, your on-stage flirting game was like muscle memory.
Before you knew it, the bridge came and Luke abandoned his microphone to share yours. You took it off the stand and leaned towards him. Behind you, Julie dropped out and your and Lukeâs voices filled the venue.
âI got a spark in me,â You sang and Luke echoed your words.
âAnd youâre a part of me,
A part of me,
Now till eternity,
Now till eternity,
Been so long and now weâre finally free!â
Just like every other time you sang with Luke, the air disappeared from your lungs and someone hit the pause button on the world. Lukeâs eyes never left yours and your skin tingled under his intense stare. You lightly shoved his chest and winked back at him as he went back to his microphone.
The bright lights flashed as Julieâs high note rang out and the song ended. The crowd instantly erupted in cheers and almost everyone gave a standing ovation as you bowed and phased away, making another wave of gasps and cheers run through the crowd.
You landed next to the coffee bar on the far side of the room and instantly saw Teddy, who was leaning on the edge of the counter with a smirk on his face.
âWhat, youâre stalking me now?â You joked.
âIt was a complete coincidence, Gorgeous.â Teddy came closer and nudged your shoulder. âBut a great one. Why didnât you tell me that you could sing like that?â
âLike youâd believe me If I did.â You said as you laughed, still a little breathless from the performance. You could feel your friend's eyes on your back and you turned around. Alex and Reggie were standing there awkwardly while Luke crossed his arms.
âAh, the famous bandmates.â Teddy smirked. âYou guys were great.â
âThanks.â Luke smiled stiffly at him before turning to you and gesturing over where Julie was talking to her dad. âSorry to interrupt, but (Y/n), we should really go check on Julie.â
You tried to ignore the way that he was already wanting to get back to Julie made your heart sink into your shoes but you nodded and turned back to Teddy with an apologetic smile. âBye, Teddy.â
You turned to leave but Teddyâs hand came up to grip your wrist. âHey, uh, come to the diner tomorrow. Thereâs something I want to tell you.â
âSomething bad?â You asked and Teddy sighed.Â
âIâll tell you tomorrow. I promise.â
âOkay.â Despite the pit of worry in your stomach, for some reason, you trusted Teddy. âSee you then.â
-
After you watched as Julie got steered out the doors by her dad, you phased into her room and waited for them to get back.
You couldnât help but feel a little guilty. Sure, it was all of your idea to sneak her out, but you definitely encouraged her and now she was in trouble. As you waited, you looked around her room, admiring all the pictures and colors.
There were little paper butterflies hanging from the ceiling and you went to touch one, but then the door swung open and Julie came in.
She yelped but relaxed as soon as she realized it was you.
âIâm sorry.â You said. âI didnât mean to scare you, or get you in trouble tonight.â
Julie shook her head. âHey, it was my choice to sneak out. Besides, Iâm not in trouble. I mean, I have to focus more on school and stuff but Iâm staying in the band.â
âThank god. I definitely couldnât go back to a band of all boys.â You joked and Julie laughed before wiggling her eyebrows.
âSpeaking of boys, donât you have one to go give a birthday present to?â
âI wanted to make sure you were okay first.â You said.
âThank you, (Y/n). But Iâm good.â Julie smiled warmly. âNow go get your boy.â
âHeâs not my boy.â You protested but Julie just rolled her eyes and threw a pillow through your torso. âHey!â
Julie laughed as she picked up another pillow. âGet out of here or else Iâll do it again.â
âOkay, okay!â You giggled as you poofed away.
You landed in the middle of the studio and frowned when you realized that it was empty. You assumed that Alex was probably out looking for Willie and Reggie was probably with Ray or Carlos, but Luke was usually hanging around the studio this late.
âHey.â A voice called out from behind you and you whipped around to find Luke leaning against the railing of the loft.
âHi.â You cleared your throat. âYou okay?â
Luke nodded and gestured to the empty air next to him, and with a flash, you poofed to his side. You could tell that he was still thinking about his parents from the way that his eyes lingered on the studio doors and the guilt you felt earlier returned in full-force. You wanted to say something, do something to make him smile.
âI got you something.â You said, trying to put on a bright smile as you crossed the loft and pulled the box from its hiding spot. âYou probably donât even remember this thing, but we did say we were gonna open it when we turned eighteen.â
Luke knitted his eyebrows in confusion but a look of realization flashed across his face when you handed it to him. Just like you were hoping for, he instantly brightened as he read the carvings on the top of the lid.
âOh my god...â He said. âI canât believe you dug this up.â
For some reason, you didnât want to tell him that you really dug it up twenty five years ago back when you stopped being friends. It seemed almost too sentimental, and after finally getting Luke back, you didnât want to scare him away again.
âAll it took was an hour, and technically some property damage if you count my momâs rose bushes.â
It wasnât technically a lie, but it wasnât the whole truth either.
Luke threw his head back as he laughed. âOof, be thankful that youâre already dead or else she wouldâve killed you.â
You snorted as you gestured from him to open the box. He carefully pulled the lid off and slid a little closer to you so you could both see inside. There were some random drawings and toys, but what caught your eye was a box of crayons in the corner.
âWait,â You gasped as you picked them up. âAre these the crayons?â
âThe ones that you stole from me on the first day of second grade?â Luke said, tucking his bottom lip between his teeth to keep from laughing. âYeah.â
âExcuse you, they were mine to begin with.â You reminded him with a raised eyebrow.
âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â Luke smirked.
You cleared your throat as you stepped away from the railing and faced Luke.Â
âHey, I just wanted to say that Iâm sorry for not listening to you about Bobby. I just got so caught in up in memories of how we all used to be and stuff that-â
â(Y/n), hey,â Luke chuckled lightly as he reached over and grabbed your hand, the gesture immediately stopping your ranting. âDonât be sorry. You were right. I mean, Iâll always be bummed that our old music is gone, but a friend helped me realize that we should focus on the future.â
He gently squeezed your hand and you laughed. âThis friend of yours sounds pretty smart.â
Luke hummed. âThe smartest.â
You could feel his calloused fingers on the back of your hand and it felt so familiar and warm. For once, the silence between you wasnât uncomfortable or awkward.
âThank you, (Y/n).â Luke said, his voice barely above a whisper.
You took a deep breath before responding with a soft smile. âHappy birthday, Lu.â
 -
September 1994
âSweetie, your shift is over.âÂ
Cece said with a raised eyebrow as she watched you pour creamer and sugar packets into cups of coffee.Â
âI know and I know that I shouldnât be behind the counter when Iâm not working.â You smiled up at her before placing the coffee pot into its holder, practically shaking with excitement. âBut I have band news and the boys will be here any second.â
You put lids on the drinks and set them on the counter just as the bell on the door chimed and Alex and Luke strolled in, followed by Bobby and Reggie.
âOkay, what was so important that you had to wake me up and drag me down here?â Alex complained as soon as he saw you.
âItâs barely ten, Al. When did you turn eighty?â You teased as you handed him a paper cup of cocoa. Alex just grumbled at you under his breath as they all sat down in front of you. âIâm sorry for interrupting your beauty sleep, but this couldnât wait.â
âWeâre listening.â Reggie said as he grabbed his coffee.
âOkay, so you remember that guy who saw us play at the beach a little while ago?â You asked and they all nodded. âWell, I called him and it turns out that he owns a club downtown.â
âWait.â Luke perked up and Bobby leaned forward in his chair. âA club club?â
You nodded. âAnd he wants us to play there every weekend next month.â
Alex choked on his cocoa. âThe whole month?!â
You nodded again and there was a minute of stunned silence as they all exchanged looks. You smirked as you took a sip of your coffee.Â
âOh, and also, he knows the owner of the Orpheum. Apparently they used to go to college together or something. And he said that if we impress him next month, that he could maybe pull a few strings.â
There was another moment of silence before Bobby turned to you with a serious look on his face. â(Y/n), I could kiss you right now.â
âGross.â You scrunched your nose and the rest of the boys laughed.
Luke, who had been bouncing in his seat a minute ago, suddenly looked serious as he jumped up and grabbed Bobbyâs shoulder. âCâmon, Casanova. Iâm starving.â
Bobby rolled his eyes but followed Luke over to the counter and started scanning the menu. Reggie whistled quietly, making you frown in confusion.
âWhat?â You asked.
âI think Lukey boy is a little jealous.â Reggie said and Alex hummed in agreement.
âWhat?â You asked. âHeâs definitely not. But even if he was, itâs just Bobby. Thereâs nothing to be jealous about.â
âThat doesnât matter when youâre in love.â Reggie sang and you cleared your throat.
âIâm gonna give you three seconds, Reginald.â You warned and Reggie scoffed, but then got wide-eyed when you started counting.
âUh-oh.â Alex snickered and Reggie scrambled to get up from his chair and run across the diner just as you got to three. You caught up with him in seconds and jumped on his back, making him sigh in defeat.
But before you could brag about winning, Reggie suddenly bolted towards Luke and Bobby with you still on his back. The action caused a surprised laugh to bubble out of you making Bobby look at the two of you in confusion.
âWhat did Reggie do now?â He asked.
âAll I said was that (Y/n)âs in lo-â Reggie started but you quickly slapped your hand over his mouth.
âNothing!â You said quickly.
Once everyone got their food, you all sat down and started scribbling ideas for the setlists. You could hardly focus with all the excitement coursing through your veins. Ever since the day you formed Sunset Curve, you dreamed of playing at the Orpheum with your best friends and you were finally almost there.
You looked across the table and smiled at Luke, knowing that he was thinking the same exact thing from the way he was beaming back at you. You just had to impress one club owner, and you could live out your dreams.
Together.

new yorkâs very own alanna d'alessio was spotted on broadway street in gucci bee sneakers . your resemblance to hailey baldwin is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty first birthday bash . while living in nyc ,  youâve been labeled as being reticent , but also gracious . i guess being a scorpio explains that . 3 things that would paint a better picture of you would be anything pink , the lingering smell of weed , and a cigarette between her fingers . &  ( cisfemale & she/her  )  +  ( dani , 20 , she/her , est . )
          *  /  đ đĄđđĄđđ đĄđđđ .
full name : alanna marie dâalessio .
age : twenty - one .
hometown : new york city .
zodiac chart : scorpio sun , aquarius moon , libra rising .
character inspo : alyssa ( the end of the f*cking world ) , marissa cooper ( the o.c ) , hanna marin ( pretty little liars ) .
          * /  đđđđđđđđđ  !!  tw : kidnapping , ransom , drugs
alanna was born heir to the d'alessio family which came with the billion dollar dynasty that her parents created .Â
her dad is an italian government official but they grew up in ny basically bc her dad is an ambassador/representative for italy & her mother is a super model who also wanted to raise her kids here having lived here her whole life , and so they did .Â
she had everything handed to her on a silver platter and her parents expected nothing but success from her because of how wealthy they were, they knew they would never have to worry about providing for her and her siblings , and so they spoiled her with whatever she asked for and more
but that came with a price, she was expected to do everything they wanted of her, go to an ivy league college, follow in one of her parentâs career footsteps
alanna did just that, she got amazing grades in high school and was head of many student clubs, organized prom, got almost perfect on satâs and exams, and busted her ass to get into a good college despite the fact that her parents couldâve easily gotten her a spot if she didnât do as well as she did
her life was going so well, she had the perfect boyfriend, perfect group of friends, was on her way to brown university in a couple of months, her parents and her couldnât have been in a better spot with their daughter
the last thing they expected was for someone, a stranger, to get their hands on their daughter . a week after her 18th birthday , sheâs walking to school on a monday morning and before she knows whatâs happening , thereâs something over her head and sheâs being dragged into a van and taken from her life
the one thing that was expected, was the $10 million ransom she was held for
basically her dad had some shady dealings with the italian mob & didnât pay his debts to them for some time - so they kidnapped alanna in retaliation for that
they kept her for 3 days before her parents were able to work with the authorities to get her returned and pay the people in full
surprisingly, she was returned alive but she had to spend two weeks in the hospital afterwards with injuries
once alanna was returned, she wasnât the same
she told the police what happened to her , but only barely . she didnât tell her parents or anyone else about what they did to her when she was gone .
she didnât speak , eat or sleep for two months after she got home
she spent the last few months of her high school in bed, she didnât attend her graduation, deferred from going to brown in the fall, she didnât see her friends anymore and she broke up with her boyfriend
the people who took her were never caught & she is still to this day completely terrified of going anywhere alone
she never walks anywhere alone Â
it took her months to be able to get back to doing normal things again and being who she was before
to this day , Â alanna still struggles with the memories and the ptsd from what happened to her , but she doesnât speak to anyone about it and she refuses to bring it up in any scenario
she also has a horrible relationship with her father now , having trouble forgiving him for what happened to her
some people know about it as obviously, being as famous as her family is, it was on the news at the time, and everyone she went to high school with knew what happened so sometimes it can be hard to avoid it
she wants to forget - here comes her secret - she got into drugs after the kidnapping and it quickly spiraled out of control , now she canât seem to function without them because theyâre the only thing that make her feel normal and make the memories fade
anything she can get her hands on rly
but the media think sheâs an angel , her reputation has been kept p much pristine her whole life . and her parents have no clue how much sheâs struggling or how much sheâs changed . so if this were to come out , it would tarnish not only alannaâs reputation but her familyâs  as well
                     * /  đđđđđđđđđđđ !!
after deferring from brown , Â alanna knew she had to find some way to keep herself occupied and make money , even though she could live off her parents for however long she wanted
alanna wants to be . miss independent .
so she started getting into modelling , bc of her mom it was easy for her to book gigs
she was able to book gigs like adidas , guess , calvin klein  etc  !
so  that was super exciting for her bc she got really into it and  enjoyed doing it sm
she started acting about a year ago - started off in a few movies , & now sheâs currently starring in a netflix series - smth similiar to elite or on my block !
oko so in high school alanna was super bubbly , and just like the really overly nice girl that would talk to literally every 1
but it worked for her bc she was  voted prom queen  and valedictorian ! even tho she missed graduation . yike
Anyway now ! she is not v much like that anymore , except  when sheâs super high .
since her kidnapping alanna has been closed off and aloof . in general , sheâs not as talkative
she says what she thinks but it usually comes in one word mumbles
can sometimes b very entertaining  . sheâs kinda like paris hilton a little bit
also think Marissa from the oc !!
call her a  spoiled brat sheâs gonna be like â yah⊠and ?â
she  can be very selfish to a fault  in certain situations
and very defensive if she feels attacked, judged , put into a corner , physically cornered , etc
sheâs a hopeless romantic at heart and dreams of having an epic love story
but she  has Hella trust issues which easily lead to commitment issues for her so ⊠she will cheat âby accidentâ lol
thatâs why she tries to steer clear of relationships but she also has such a big heart she  falls in love 5 times a day sffsdkj
also w  how much this girl  can sleep around itâs not happening any Time soon 4 her ! she enjoys being single a lot
Bc she likes to get wild
shes like nicole richie on the simple life when sheâs partying  lmao
like she likes 2 fuck with ppl sometimes lol , like she will flirt w anyone and everyone just cus sheâs bored
umm she lives  in sweatpants n crop tops !
her hair is either in a  bun or just down , sheâs rly lazy when it comes to hair and makeup  . like if her makeups done someone else did it lol
Unless sheâs like fully in the mood

hello all ! my nameâs dani , iâm one of the main admins & i canât tell u how excited i am to have wealthy up n running again ! i canât wait to plot with all you beautiful peoples , pls like this & iâll slide in the dms , otherwise u can also hit me up on discord đđđđâĄ#1958 !! iâm gonna put all you need 2 know about alanna below aaand i hope yâall like her ! <3
new yorkâs very own alanna deniro was spotted on broadway street in gucci bee sneakers . your resemblance to hailey baldwin is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty first birthday bash . while living in nyc ,  youâve been labeled as being reticent , but also gracious . i guess being a scorpio explains that . 3 things that would paint a better picture of you would be anything pink , the lingering smell of weed , and a cigarette between her fingers . &  ( cisfemale & she/her  )  +  ( dani , 20 , she/her , est . )
â  âȘ   Ëïœ„ïŸ â  backstory !! tw: kidnapping , ransom , drugs
alanna was born heir to the deniro family , which came with the billion dollar dynasty that her father created - hotels , stores , brands , cars , etc . anything u could think of really
she grew up accustomed to the spotlight, having no choice when it came to that considering her family had been in it for decades
she had everything handed to her on a silver platter and her parents expected nothing but success from her because of how wealthy they were, they knew they would never have to worry about providing for her and her siblings , and so they spoiled her with whatever she asked for and more
but that came with a price, she was expected to do everything they wanted of her, go to an ivy league college, follow in one of her parentâs career footsteps
alanna did just that, she got amazing grades in high school and was head of many student clubs, organized prom, got almost perfect on satâs and exams, and busted her ass to get into a good college despite the fact that her parents couldâve easily gotten her a spot if she didnât do as well as she did
her life was going so well, she had the perfect boyfriend, perfect group of friends, was on her way to brown university in a couple of months, her parents and her couldnât have been in a better spot with their daughter
the last thing they expected was for someone, a stranger, to get their hands on their daughter . a week after her 18th birthday , sheâs walking to school on a monday morning and before she knows whatâs happening , thereâs something over her head and sheâs being dragged into a van and taken from her life

she didnât speak , eat or sleep for two weeks after she got home
she spent the last few months of her high school in bed, she didnât attend her graduation, deferred from going to brown in the fall, she didnât see her friends anymore and she broke up with her boyfriend
the people who took her were caught about 8 months later on another charge and that was the first time she felt safe since . it took her months to be able to get back to doing normal things again and being who she was before
to this day , alanna still struggles with the memories and the ptsd from what happened to her , but she doesnât speak to anyone about it and she refuses to bring it up in any scenario
some people know about it as obviously, being as famous as her family is, it was on the news at the time, and everyone she went to high school with knew what happened so sometimes it can be hard to avoid it
