FANFICTION MASTERPOST

Hi, my name is Jay and I like to write gay vampire smut.

My AO3 account is brandedforeverlame

I am currently publishing a Devil's Minion fanfic series entitled 'If You Had Life Eternal' :

All Rated E. All with Armand x Daniel as the main pairing.

1. Loving You's A Bloodsport

(4016 words)

Post 2x08 turning fic.

After Louis leaves the apartment in Dubai to head to NOLA, Armand decides to reveal all to Daniel.

2. Lestat and Daniel's Grand Adventure (Lessons In How To Provoke Your Maker)

Currently WIP, multichapter, Lestat and Daniel friendship buddy fic.

It's been one year since Daniel was turned and he still hasn't heard from his maker.

Daniel decides (against his better judgement) to reach out to the only other immortal he knows besides Louis for help to track down Armand.

Also please check out the absolutely awesome fanart my lovely friend Anna @once-delight made for this fic right here. Anna is also the official beta reader for this fic.

3. My kingdom for a kiss upon his shoulder

(3,788 words)

San Francisco, 1978:

Daniel makes a spur of the moment decision and Armand reacts accordingly.

4. Arms Tonite

(4,760 words)

Yes. The fisting fic -

It lay on their kitchen bench, framed in golden light which streamed in through the window of their Tuscan apartment.

“Uh… whose arm is that?”

~~

Daniel has never been fisted and when Armand offers to change that, Daniel can't help but make a comment that brings out the Gremlin™️

5. To All Besotted Souls

(2,564 words)

The first time Armand and Daniel have sex during the chase years.

Pompeii Ruins, Naples, 1976

And now he was here - waiting on this strange demon with whom he was pretty sure he was in love with.

Could you fall in love with the monster under your bed?

Could you fall in love with a guillotine blade as it hung over your neck?

--------

And there's plenty more on it's way. I'm almost always writing and love to talk to any fellow DM writers. Please feel free to follow/ask/dm me :)

As some of you may know, this month will be happening the fanfiction event Multiamory March (hosted by @polyamships), which is similar to Femslash February - but instead of fanfics centered on femslash ships, it's fanfics centered on polyamorous ships. So just like I did last month with Femslash February, I'll be taking prompts through all this month for Multiamory March and posting them in my account on AO3 iammyownsaviour (ant1hero). Here's the list of all the fandoms and ships I want to write on march, you can send me an anonymous or non anonymous inbox with your prompts which can be more than one (I'd actually love if people send multiple prompts 'cause it helps a lot) and you can even say in the inbox, in case you have an AO3 account, if you want me to gift the fanfic to you!

*I'll accept prompts from any prompt list you find, you can even create them if you want. I have a preference for AU's, Tropes and Taylor Swift lyrics but any kind of prompts is fine!

I have two main fanfic WIPs. One is the Star Wars one and this is the second one!

My friend dragonprincess (not on tumblr) and I made a Disney Princess story which I’m compiling into a book. It’s all about the children (or ancestors) for the Princesses and other crossover characters as well!

Featured descendants or ancestors:

Frozen/Frozen 2, Tangled/Tangled the Series, How to Train Your Dragon, Sleeping Beauty/Maleficent, Snow White, Cinderella, Mulan, Atlantis Lost Empire, Princess Bride, Rise of the Guardians, Pocahontas (ancestor), Moana, Brave, Princess and the Frog (ancestor), Aladdin, Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Little Mermaid, Coco (ancestor), Hercules, Beauty and the Beast

Book blurb:

Jay Frost, daughter of the 5th Spirit Elsa and Guardian Jack Frost, has not seen her parents in a long time. Determined to investigate, she sets out to find them, enlisting the help of her cousin Princess Gloria, daughter of Queen Anna and King Kristoff of Arendelle. What begins as a simple search becomes greater than either of them ever imagined.

They have been chosen.

Magical forces return.

Their world is in danger, and the kingdoms must unite to save it.

[sailxrmxrs]

the power the enemies to lovers trope has over me is unmatched. and the thought of that combined with xyx?? IMMACULATE THOUGHTS. but it's not just any xyx. this is PIRATE XYX. one of his many forms. expect forced proximity and reluctant allies being forced to work together on a quest. and of course they don't secretly love each other what that's crazy (they do). this fic's an idea i've had for a little while now but i'm finally getting around to it for the bloomic server 2k celebration fic contest!!

Sunlight poured over the ocean, its midday rays sparkling atop the astral blue shade that painted the horizon for hundreds of miles. The horizon itself was a woven seam of silver as it intertwined with both sparkling sea and sky, hemming into an idyllic piece of natural artistry for its witnesses to gaze in awestruck admiration. The ebbing flow of the tide was a steadily beating drum as its waves lapped against the cedar and oak that made up the bulk of the ship. Its unbroken pulse was a constant reminder of the dormant strength that lingered deep in the blue waters beneath. The gentle rocking that accompanied such a patterned rhythm was one that you’d grown accustomed to during your time aboard the Tainted Rose. The fleet, commandeered by its captain, Xyx, was one you had previously held no desire to climb aboard let along accompany on such a quest. The King had commissioned the ever-elusive Captain Xyx to embark on a covert mission to travel the seas in order to ascertain a rising threat from another kingdom located in the south. Xyx’s infamous reputation had earned him a permanent subject of suspicion within the King’s Order of Knights. Somehow he always managed to toe the line between criminal and conformist to the laws and rules set in place. His dalliances with the palace and its officials were certainly not to be celebrated, though he remained a figure for the few who believed in his ideologies of freedom and exploration of the unknown world; why spend years wasting away in the cramped city walls when one could dwell upon a ship sailing the seas far beyond the confines of kingdom rule?

His way of life was one you did not entirely approve of, given the difficulties he often caused for someone of your position among the Order of Knights, though some small part of you at least admired his steadfast desires to live a life he chose rather than one appointed to him. Even still, when the King had announced the news that he had chosen to work with Captain Xyx and had appointed you the sole escort from the palace to join his crew’s fleet, you were less than pleased. Granted, the opportunity might pose the chance of a promotion, but that also meant enduring weeks in close proximity with Xyx himself. He was known for his unrelenting arrogance and self-pride, two traits not altogether abysmal, though under prolonged contact could be incredibly grating. Xyx was mischief and disobedience incarnate while you were bred to follow instruction and law as though it were sacred—the two opposing attributes were destined for conflict. At least, there was a certain degree of enmity on your part. Xyx was more than happy to taint your existence with his presence. The first day upon the Tainted Rose’s deck had left you in a rage, scowling as you stood at the ship’s bow while Xyx’s taunting existence haunted your every waking thought. He had this indescribable talent to get on ever last nerve in your body and, to rub salt into the wound, would throw an arm over your shoulder throwing around comments about how stiff you were, how you should loosen up and relax a little. But as you tried to reach for me, Xyx would dip away with a dexterity you’d never before witnessed.

Even now, almost two weeks of sailing later, Xyx still took every spare moment he wasn’t commandeering the ship to check in with you, despite the number of times you’d told him to leave you be. It was all light-hearted in nature, of course, but unwanted nonetheless. Though today you’d seemed to remain mostly unbothered by Xyx and his antics, the fleet too busy navigating a particularly dangerous portion of waters. Now that mid-afternoon had settled and the ship was sailing calmer water, there was an opportunity to take a few moments to breathe. Xyx was tying off one of the sails, adjusting its position for the ship’s reduced motion and the calmer winds that came with it. You watched on, entirely bewildered yet mesmerised by the vast knowledge he held. It was easy to underestimate him, you’d soon realised. Easy to cast him away as merely an arrogant captain of a no-good fleet. Perhaps your initial perception of him was not quite so accurate.

“You know, Xyx, I truly don’t understand how you can just…do all these fancy knots,” you muse, leaning against the base of the mast Xyx was working on.

Xyx looks up, focus diverted as he wipes a bare forearm over his brow. A knowing lilt of a grin stretches on his face, purely feline in nature. “Don’t worry, doll,” he drawls. “There’s plenty other, more interesting things, my hands can do. I’d be more than happy to show you.”

Scoffing, you unfolded your arms from across your chest and launched to try and push at Xyx who managed to evade your touch, cackling as he did.

“Oh, doll you’re so easy to tease, aren’t you?”

“You’re disgusting,” you bark out before striding away to the soundtrack of Xyx’s amused laughter. Stood at the ship’s starboard was June, a long-time member of the fleet and sailing master, chief navigator, of the Tainted Rose. She had become the closest entity to a friend during your time aboard the ship, her easy-going nature proving a welcome comfort in wake of Xyx’s teasing torment.

“Captain bothering you again?” She asked, elbows resting on the edge of the boat with her back to the crystal-clear stretch of ocean.

“What’s new?” You ask, mirroring her position with your head tipped back. Sunlight painted your face in tantalising warmth, an instant remedy to the rising annoyance that dwelled post-interaction with Xyx.

“He only does it because you react so much. He’s not all that bad, you know.”

Letting out a sigh, you lifted your head to watch Xyx pace to the ship’s stern to attend the request of a crewmate. Deep down you knew June was right—he was a worthy captain who cared for each and every member that followed him. But for all of his worthiness, he also brought with him leagues of that proud swagger; it certainly served him well in conflict but equally lured him into compromising situations.

“I might have to agree with you there, as much as it pains me to say,” you offer, eyes still lingering on Xyx as he walked about the deck and saw to the various tasks at hand.

June smiled, a hint of suspicion buried in the action, though it was entirely lost to your distracted eyes. “Captain Xyx is the best at what he does. Loyal. Brave. Wouldn’t be anywhere without him.” Her words clung to the air about your ears, echoing and reverberating in your skull. Something about Xyx’s dedication to his crew and the familial love they shared was admirable. And to think, it all began with him. The sound of June clearing her throat brought your attention back to the conversation at hand, cheeks warming at the realisation you’d been caught off guard with distracted thoughts. Fumbling an apology of tiredness, you excused yourself from the conversation to retire to your cabin for a few hours of rest. Dizzying thoughts tumbled about your mind, setting your skin ablaze with each step across the deck. Even alone in your cabin, hours later, a cacophony of confusing conflictions plagued your thoughts. Throughout the entirety of this quest, you’d remained so certain that Captain Xyx was as his reputation stated and yet, here you were, questioning the legitimacy of those claims—while also questioning matters of the heart along with them. It was a far cry from the usual tribulations of life as a palace knight, and one you were not entirely well-equipped to manage.

A knock sounded from the door, disrupting your train of thought. Upon your welcome call, the source of your mild turmoil entered carrying a small plate of assorted foods. Nothing much, but something akin to a peace offering, you supposed.

“About all I could get you from the cook’s banquet. A hungry lot on this ship, I tell you. But not to worry, managed to convince cook not to serve up that anglerfish,” Xyx spoke as he entered, leaving the plate at the small, round table in your room. His demeanour seemed different to earlier, though not entirely out of character. You thanked him for the offering, a little caught off guard in the rare moment of peace.

“Oh, and before I leave, you know there’s a full moon out tonight, right? Should come take a look.” Xyx hovered in the doorway, looking back at you with an expression you couldn’t place.

“I’ve seen the moon before, Xyx. They don’t have me locked away in the palace all the time, you know.”

Xyx shook a finger, smirking as he did so. “Ah, but you haven’t seen the full moon at sea, have you, doll? Trust me, it’s different.” And with his cryptic words, Xyx left you alone in your cabin once more. Instinct told you to ignore him and remain in your room for the night, but curiosity grasped on tight, enticing you out the door and following in Xyx’s footsteps. Upon reaching the deck, you realised only Xyx stood under the cover of the night sky. Taking a place beside him, your gaze drew upwards. Thousands of stars decorated the blanket of night, a dazzling display of the darkness’ beauty. Amid the starlight was the ever-pearlescent glow of the moon, gazing back at her onlookers. No words were shared between you and Xyx—they weren’t needed. But, under that pale light, his fingers gently grazed yours, curious and explorative. He tested those waters and waited for the reciprocal brush of your fingers against his.

"Forgive me if this is too forward,” he began. “But I appreciate you being here. Truly. I realise this wasn’t your choice, but your presence is one I treasure with each day that passes. More than you may realise.” Xyx reaches a hand, ever so softly taking hold of your cheek, eyes exploring yours for a sign you wanted this too. Then, stood beneath the incandescent light of the full moon, Xyx kisses you before he can stop himself; before he can second guess whether he is deserving of your lips, your touch; before either of you can question what such an act might bring. He kisses you and does all within his power to commit the shape of you to memory. He forgets all that came before it and all that is to come to fruition once his lips part from yours. And as his fingertips card through your hair, the only thing his mind allows him to envision is how deeply he needs this exact moment tattooed into his brain—have it burned into his eyelids so that with each moment they close, all that lies before him is your blissful radiance.

Weeks of pent-up frustration and yearning spill forth, flooding the empty deck of the ship. No reprieve is offered to either party, your only options to swim to the safety of self-inflicted sequestration, or drown in all that threatened to consume you. There was simply no choice to be made, both ensnared by the other’s siren song and entirely content to fall victim to its lethal charm.

Xyx’s lips parted from yours for a brief moment so that he could whisper, “Gods above and below, you are radiant. You keep me grounded, sweetheart. You keep me sane.” And his laps crash onto yours once more, longing strangling him—unrelenting and unwavering dedication crawling beneath his skin with each fire-tipped touch that blesses your frame in his arms. Concerns of what the future may bring are irrelevant, entirely forgotten amidst the enchanting haze of amorous adoration on display; only the moon bearing witness to such a tantalising scene of unadulterated sentiment.

Dark Order x Under the weather!Reader

This is short but I was thinking about how sweet the Dark Order would be when people they care about get sick so I thought I'd put together a few headcanons. Colt, Hangy and -1 are left out, sorry about that.

Evil Uno checking on you making sure you're okay

If you start wanting to puke, Uno will be there to help you, carressing your back comfortingly as you puke your guts out.

John Silver making food whenever you're hungee

Alex making sure you’re comfortable. Want a pillow? He'll get it for you. Want to get out for fresh air? No worries, he will open the windows instead! Want cuddles? Sure!

Silver and Reynolds trying to cheer you up by making you laugh but becoming concerned about you when you start coughing, you reassuring them that you're okay.

Five and Ten doing all your shopping; getting all your medications and groceries

Daily chats with TayJay as they are both concerned about you

Stu making sure you get plenty of rest, asking you to go back to bed when you get up

If you want to be left alone, Uno and Stu telling everyone to leave. Stu turning off the light and closing the door softly

Everyone being so concerned about you

I wish you would write a fiction where Ruby Soho joins Anna Jay in the dark order and they kick some butt.

This one was fun! I did a little backstage blurb without a match, but they hang out and she joins! No warnings - Gen Blurb under the read more

----------------------------------------

Ruby pulled her jacket on, feeling the familiar chill of being backstage. Normally she would have a hoodie with her, but she left it in her hotel room and only had her stage jacket with her. She was settling into a seat in catering when she noticed Anna slide into a seat next to her.

“It was fun teaming with you last week. We should do it again.”

Ruby swallowed the bite of cake she had in her mouth. She figured the match was a one off situation since Anna usually tagged with Tay. She had joined in once before for a trios match but she usually just did her own thing.

“Yeah. That would be fun.” Ruby smiled. Anna grabbed her in a quick hug.

“Great! You should come hang out with us in our locker room. John has a game idea and we could always use another person.” Ruby tilted her head. She wasn’t used to being invited to join in on the fun as a group. She normally just did things with friends here and there, but nothing as a group.

“I could do that. Do you know what game he wants to play?” Ruby was nervous that a trick might be played on her now.

“Oh I have no idea. He always finds some random board games and brings them in. One time he brought in Candy Land and we had a tournament.” Anna was laughing and Ruby felt less anxious.

“Let’s head there now. You can bring your cake since no one really cares.”

Ruby followed Anna to the locker room that had been set aside for the Dark Order. When they got inside, Anna introduced Ruby to the guys and John gave her a massive hug welcoming her to the group. Anna turned to Ruby and pulled her in close.

“If you want to join the group going forward, we would love to have you.”

“I’ll think about it.”

The group sat down and played a heated game of Ticket to Ride with so many homebrew rules that Ruby could barely keep up. The game ended with Ruby winning and she was celebrating when she felt Anna’s smile directed at her.

“What do you say?”

Ruby grinned and nodded. “Absolutely I’d love to join you guys.” The group mobbed her and she felt like she belonged.

2."I wonder if you wonder about me too." with Tayjay(from the song prompt list.)

((Thank you my supportive buddy. This one is for you <3) Pairing: Tay Conti/ Anna Jay (TayJay) Prompt: "I wonder if you wonder about me too?"

Tay knew that Anna wasn't ignoring her on purpose, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. Anna was busy trying to keep the Dark Order together, which meant that she had less time for her friend and tag partner. Tay had taken to teaming with Kris Statlander and Ruby Soho, when she needed a partner for a match, but her heart longed for Anna. There was nobody who made her laugh harder or made her feel as comfortable as the Dark Order's new leader. It was hard to explain, and most people wouldn't get it, but Anna was her best friend, her better half. She was the one person that Tay wanted to reach out and tag in a match. They were partners in crime, and yet it felt wrong to be riding solo. The distance had been gradual at first, but Tay now felt the distance between them like a canyon. She wasn't sure how to bridge it, it was like Anna was looking right through her whenever they were in the same room. Anna wasn't ignoring her on purpose, but it was starting to become difficult not to take it personal. It had been about a week of not talking at all, that Anna seemed to realize Tay wasn't around. She had been arguing with some of the Dark Order and had turned to ask her friend to back her up only to find that she wasn't there. After searching around backstage she found her eating an ice cream with Statlander. They were laughing and talking, Kris even booping Tay on the nose, smearing some ice cream. A twinge of envy tore through Anna's gut, jealousy rearing it's ugly little head. "Hey Tay, can we talk?" Anna asked through clenched teeth. Tay seemed surprised to see Anna but nodded, excusing herself from Kris who looked as confused as she felt. "What's wrong?" "Where have you been? I turned around to ask you something and you weren't there." Anna said awkwardly rubbing the back of her neck. She cast a weary glance at Kris who was now playing on her phone. "How long have you been hanging out with Statlander?" "Well considering my tag partner has been missing in action, Kris agreed to be my partner. I figured you were busy." Tay said, ignoring the accusation that seemed to radiate through Anna's tone. "Oh, I'm sorry about that. I just have had a lot of Dark Order stuff." Anna admitted. She had been trying to keep her family together and they just now seemed to be making some headway with that. "But I was wondering where you had gone off too." A deep frown settled on Tay's cheeks. She didn't usually let her emotions get the best of her, preferring to be the peace keeper, but she had been feeling neglected lately. "How long did it take you to realize I was gone? Because I've been wondering that a lot lately, and I wonder if you wonder about me too." Anna tilted her head. "What are you really trying to say?" She had suspected that Tay might have feelings for her, and she felt guilty that she had been neglecting her. "That I know how much the Order means to you, but I want to matter to you too. It's not fun to be constantly put on the back burner. I am patient Anna, but sometimes it's nice to feel appreciated." Tay pointed out. She had felt abandoned in a way, and while she had been understanding, it had started to grate on her a little. "I'm really sorry T, I know I've been distracted lately but maybe we could grab dinner? Just the two of us?" Anna asked. She glanced back towards Kris, to find that the other wrestler was already making herself scarce by sneaking up on Orange Cassidy. Tay thought about it for a moment and then nodded. "Yeah, I think I'd like that. It's a date." "And just for the record, even thought I have been kind of distracted lately, you're constantly on my mind. You do matter to me." Anna said softly. She wasn't the best with her emotions, but she leaned forward and kissed Taynara's cheek. The blush that coated her friend's cheek, made it all worth it.

**********

“Uh, thanks, but I’m good. I just got here and I’m not just gonna get stuck in a faction.”

“I’m not getting you a date with Nova.” Sawyer scoffed, turning to walk to her and the girls’ rental. “But Sawyer please?” Ricky whined, following after her. Nova had already rejected the invitation to Team Taz earlier that night, but Ricky wanted more than just Nova in the faction. “No. Way.” Ricky groaned, “C’mon Sawyer. You owe me. Remember?” Sawyer stopped in her tracks, she didn’t even think Ricky remembered. “I got you that one date with Wardlow. You said you owe me. This is all I’m asking.” Sawyer sighed and turned to face him, “Alright. I will try. I can’t guarantee she’ll say yes though.” Ricky smiled, pulling Sawyer in for a hug.

“Ew, let me go you weirdo.” She laughed, Ricky rolled his eyes when he pulled away. “Okay, I’m gonna talk to her in the car. If she says yes I’ll give her your number, if not, then you gotta leave her alone for a while. Deal?” Sawyer held out her hand, Ricky shook her hand, “Deal.”

Ricky watched as Sawyer walked to the rental, getting in the backseat. “So what did Starks want?” Nova asked, looking back from the driver’s side. “Well...he wanted to know if he could take you out on a date.” Veronica spit out her water, coughing and laughing at the same time, while Nova stared wide-eyed. “A date...he’s not gonna ask me to join Team Taz again is he?” Nova questioned, brows scrunched up. “I don’t think so. Nova, I think he’s actually into you.” “I think you should give him a chance.” Veronica said, finally catching her breath and taking another sip of water. Nova sighed, “Okay. I’ll give him a chance.” Veronica and Sawyer started to celebrate before Nova cut them off again, “But! If it doesn’t go well, I better not hear another word about him. Alright?”

“Fine.” Sawyer said, already texting Ricky to tell him the news. Nova turned towards Veronica in the passenger's seat, “Don’t look at me! That’s Sawyer’s friend. Not mine.” They all giggled, Nova putting the car in drive, and pulling off and driving away from Daily’s place for the day.

The Next Afternoon

“It’s been weeks since I’ve been in the gym.” Sawyer brought up as she spreaded across the couch. Veronica looked up from her phone, “You’re right, since being here in Jacksonville we’ve been busy,” she sat up from her spot on the floor, “I’ll go get Nova, and we can head to the one upstairs.” They went through their luggage to find their workout clothes. Of course, Nova whined about having to get up, but soon began to get ready pulling out one of the drawers to find her bright pink gear. Veronica began to fill up her water bottles and tie her laces when Sawyer came out with her Nike Pro spandex shorts, a sports bra under her matching hoodie, and some white and black trainers. “Are you ready to go?” She asked while setting up her apple watch.

Nova began to gather her items, “Let's just get this over with.” Veronica laughed before opening the door. “You’ll be thanking us once you start.”

The elevator dorms chimed open, and straight ahead they could see the decent-sized hotel gym. Only a few people were there, so it must have been a perfect time. When Sawyer entered, she looked around deciding what to do first; until she spotted a muscular figure running on a treadmill. She tried to turn around but collided with Nova and Veronica who were rubbing their sides. “Sawyer, watch where you’re going!” Nova wept. Making Wardlow look back, they almost went unnoticed until he did a double-take, nearly making him fall off in the process. Nova's lips straightened before she started laughing, loudly. “This is what you get for having me go to the gym.” She laughed before walking over to a different machine while dragging Veronica along with her.

“I didn’t expect to see you here.” Wardlow came up while dabbing a towel on his forehead. Sawyer's mouth began to go dry, seeing a sweaty Wardlow was always a beautiful sight. “I felt like I was losing my strength, it’s been a while since I worked out. I have to do something before it becomes noticeable.” She joked, but he seemed to be busy in his train of thought to laugh. On the other side, Nova and Veronica were doing their best to hear them unnoticeably.

“What is he saying to her?” Veronica asked as she pretended like she was going to pick up a weight. “Nothing,” she shot her a perplexed look, “He’s totally eye-fucking her though.” She smirked,” I don’t blame him either.”

Nova was right, Wardlow couldn’t keep his eyes off of her. If she wasn’t working out like she used to he for sure couldn’t tell. She seemed to be going off about something and he was listening... at first, but then he started to get distracted by her features. Trying to comprehend all the words she was saying, but his eyes drew back to her body. If possible, he seemed to be sweating more. Making him bring his bottom lip in between his teeth while trying to control himself.

“Hello?” She snapped her fingers in front of his face, bringing him back to reality. “Did you come by yourself?”

“Huh? Oh… Max is somewhere, I don’t really remember.” He rubbed the back of his neck trying to think of anything besides having her clothes on the floor of his hotel room.

“ARE YOU SPYING ON THEM?!” A loud voice echoed through the gym. Wardlow shot his head back and clicked his tongue, “I think I found Max.” causing Sawyer to groan.

“COULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?” Nova smacked the back of his neck making him try to thump her in return. Veronica stood up trying to break them up before Wardlow and Sawyer came over causing them to stop. “Hey buddy, you won’t believe what I caught these two raccoons doing.” Veronica put a hand on her chest, offended at his insult. “Don’t act like you weren’t interested either!” She shot back, making him roll his eyes. “Please, I wasn’t interested in their conversation, that would be rude. I was more into the fact that Sawyer came looking like a fine glass of wine.”

“WHAT?” Nova, Sawyer, Veronica, and Wardlow all asked at once. Maxwell scoffed before walking over and letting his arm fall over her shoulder. “I don’t think we’ve properly met before without Nova getting in the way, but I’m Max.” Their eyebrows knitted in confusion, as he flashed a smile at Wardlow. “I see you chatting to my bodyguard, Wardlow here, but come up to my hotel room and we can do way more than just chat.” “Max I already know who you ar-” Max held up his hand to cut off Sawyer, receiving a glare in return. Veronica covered her mouth while trying her best not to encourage the situation. She shot her head in Wardlow’s direction but saw he was avoiding her gaze, as he walked straight to one of the lifting benches. Max removed his arm, having a smug smile appear and lightly laughed, “God I knew Wardlow liked you, but I didn’t think he liked you that much.”

“What are you talking about, YOU caused that.” Sawyer threw her hands up in frustration. “You should be thanking me, Sawyer.” he looked back at Wardlow who aggressively picked up and added another weight. “I should have kicked your ass-”

“Just hear him out, Sawyer.” Nova cut in causing Max to shoot her a grin, “I knew you still liked me.”

“Spill it out already, damn.”

“Oh yea, right. As we can all tell by his reaction to me flirting with you...Wardlow is still into you obviously, but he got it bad.” His eyebrows rose as he looked at the group to get a reaction. “They both do.” Veronica shrugged, causing everyone, besides Sawyer to agree. “I’m going to work out. You know the thing we came here for?”

“She didn’t deny it.” Max nudged Veronica as she flipped them off causing them to snicker. “As much fun as it was messing with her, I gotta get going. I’ll catch up with you guys later.” He first hugged Veronica, before quickly thumping Nova on her forehead and running out of the gym too fast for her to catch up. “I’m going to kick his ass next time I see him.” Nova spat while walking over next to Sawyer on the treadmills. Veronica laughed to herself before she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

Kenny Omega: meet me in my hotel room?

Her breath hitched in her mouth, she let her thumb hover over the keyboard before deciding what to say next.

I’m in workout clothes, is that cool?

Kenny Omega: I don’t care, I just need to see you.

“Damn you, Kenny Omega.” she thought to herself, this man had her wrapped around his finger, and it scared the hell out of her.

Nova and Sawyer seemed to be busy seeing who could outrun the other, and Veronica would just be gone for a couple of minutes…right? She slipped out of the gym making her way to the elevator with a pit of guilt sitting in her stomach.

Kenny texted her his room number and then started to pace around. He hadn’t been able to get a good sleep since his last conversation with Veronica, and it killed him to know she was upset with him. A knock came on the other side of the door making Kenny freeze. He smoothed over his shirt before going to open the door. “Veronica, hey-” he was cut off as she threw her body into his embrace. “I’m so sorry Ken.” Ser words muffled causing him to rub circles over her back. “You have no reason to apologize, it was my fault.” He brought her in and closed the door, not letting go. He liked this, he wanted this to be more than what it already was.

“She’s worth it. Take the risk…” Karl Anderson’s words from the club flew around in the back of his mind . He gulped as he began to remove his arms from around her, “Veronica…” He started causing her to look up at him. “I’m tired of lying to myself saying I don’t like you as much as I think I do. In such a short amount of time, I feel like I could trust you with anything..” Veronica sat there taking in every word, mentally pinching herself to make sure this wasn’t a dream. He gently swiped at her chin, making her blush. “Will you be mine?” His question was barely loud enough to be a whisper; but it was enough for her to hear.

She nodded before connecting her lips to his in a passionate kiss. His hands held her face, and her fingers began to massage the back of his scalp. He laid her down gently before lightly straddling her, “I want to do this the right way this time.” He broke up the kiss, making her want more. “I’m all yours, Omega.” and that was enough for him.

Dynamite

Sawyer and Veronica got out of the car, continuing to sing the song they were listening to on the way to Daily’s Place. “Will you guys put a cork in it?!” Nova yelled, limping past them. Sawyer stifled her laughter before mumbling, “One Direction is gonna save your life one day.” Nova rolled her eyes, still walking ahead. “Does the knee still hurt?” Veronica asked, looking at the bandage around Nova’s left knee cap. Nova frowned, “Yes. The scar opened back up this morning.” Sawyer shrugged, “I told you I would win the treadmill race.”

Nova limped towards Sawyer, the two giggling as they were play fighting, Veronica pretending to be the referee. “Uh excuse me?” They all stopped when a technician had all their attention. “Tony Khan called for you guys in his office, right away.” He had walked away, no other word said. Nova turned towards Sawyer and Veronica, her whole demeanor changed, “What did you guys do?” Nova yelled, pulling her arm away from Sawyer’s grasp. “Why are you assuming it's something we did?” Veronica asked, the three rushing through the halls to get to TK’s office. “Y’all already got in trouble for throwing yogurt at Justin Roberts two weeks ago.” Sawyer groaned, “Okay, that was an accident, my Gogurt wouldn’t squeeze out.”

They all stood in front of the door when Veronica mumbled, “Better not bring that up then.” Nova raised her hand to knock on the door, hesitating. She was really close to just putting her hand down when Sawyer mumbled under her breath, “For crying out loud.” And then knocked on the door herself. They all started to argue, but silently.

It all stopped when the door swung open, Tony Khan standing on the other side. “Ladies, come in, have a seat right there for me.” They all smiled at him, all walking in one by one. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it was just Tony, but Kenny, Matt and Nick Jackson were in there as well, and they didn’t look happy either. While none of them were looking, Veronica took the opportunity to flick Sawyer in the back of the head, knowing that if it WAS the Gogurt that got them fired, it would be her fault.

They all sat anxiously, looking in their laps and fidgeting with their thumbs. Tony coughed, causing them all to look up, “Now you guys know, you’re valued here.” Veronica nodded, stopping suddenly. “The EVP’s and I have been talking a lot recently about you guys,” Tony continued, “And after finally discussing it, I think we’ve come to a conclusion and I think it’s for the best.”

Nova reached for both her friend’s hands, all them taking deep breaths in, trying to prepare themselves for whatever he had to say. Tony reached in the drawer of his desk, pulling out clipboards instead. The three girls looked at each other in confusion. “Sawyer Holden, Nova Jay and Veronica Rodriguez, we would like to officially sign you to All Elite Wrestling.” Nova laughed in relief, Veronica smiled looking towards Kenny and Sawyer sat there dumbfounded. Veronica reached towards the desk, reading the contact. Nova followed, Sawyer signed it almost right away. The words the EVPs and Tony were saying were all drowned out, they couldn’t believe it, their dreams were coming true.

Kenny pulled Veronica in for a hug swaying them back and forth, “You deserve this.” He whispered in her ear before planting a kiss on top of her head. Sawyer cleared her throat. “Is this how you congratulate everyone who signs a contract?” Nova scoffed, making Veronica break up the hug. “I’m guessing you didn’t tell them yet?” Kenny laughed nervously making them all wait in anticipation. “Kenny and I are dating.” Veronica chuckled. Nick and Matt looked at Kenny trying to read him. “Officially?” Matt questioned, more towards his best friend.

Kenny nodded. “BITCH, YOU SAID NO MORE SECRETS.” Nova yelped, causing Veronica to quickly put her hands up in defense. “I promise I was planning to tell you guys,” She looked over at Sawyer, “I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity.” Kenny stood next to her, placing a hand on her lower back. “If you're mad, and I understand why you would be, take it out on me, not her.” He stood taller, making Sawyer and Nova laugh. “We’re not upset. You two deserve each other.” Sawyer laughed before beginning to head for the door.

“Just…if you plan on ever doing it in OUR hotel room. Make sure the door is locked.” She joked, causing Kenny and Veronica to cover their faces in embarrassment. Nova chuckled before looking over at the two, “I knew there was something going on when you arrived back at the hotel with that goofy ass grin, now I understand.” She handed her contract to Nick before exiting, “If you hurt her.. I will find you.” She squinted before closing the door. Veronica let out a sigh of relief, “That went better than expected.” He turned and saw the Bucks and TK with perplexed faces.

“What did she mean by, “Make sure the door is locked?”" Nick asked while Matt rubbed his chin in confusion. Kenny pursed his lips before laughing, “That’s a story for another time.”

Sawyer strode down the hallway, slightly singing to herself to celebrate before she reached her locker room, planning to call her parents to tell them the news. She opened the door, and to her surprise, Chuck Taylor and Trent were already there. “There she is!” Chuck called out, Sawyer looked at them, dumbfounded. “We heard about you signing!” Trent mentioned causing her confusion to go away. “It’s been five minutes!” Sawyer laughed, pulling the two in for a hug. “Brandon told everyone you guys were getting your contracts offered today.” he smiled. “It was completely unexpected, for all of us.” Sawyer grinned, causing them to admire her.

“It was just a matter of time, I would have signed you sooner,” Chuck commented, making her feel warm on the inside. Trent and Chuck had been nothing but friendly since they met, and that was a huge difference from the other locker rooms she’s been a part of. “How’s it been with Wardlow?” Trent raised his eyebrows up and down making Sawyer roll her eyes. “Honestly, I don’t even know. Sometimes it feels like we’re together, and then the next second we’re strangers again. It’s frustrating.” She plopped onto the couch making Chuck look down at her with a frown. “Wardlow is a dumbass if he can’t figure out his feelings,” he responded sitting next to her. “He doesn’t know that the perfect girl is right in front of him.” he leaned next to her, relaxing his hand on her knee. “Dustin’s right. If he keeps screwing up, I won't be afraid to swoop in.” Trent joked, causing Sawyer to laugh. “I don’t know if people would actually believe that,” Chuck said while resting his arm around Sawyer.

Sawyer reached and put her left hand on Chuck’s right, “You guys are so sweet. I’m not used to this.” Sawyer frowned, her attention straying away from the two men. “Well,” Trent started, “You’re here now. And I can confirm, the people and fans will adore you.”

“Not as much as me but, I’m sure Veronica and Nova are close seconds.” Chuck joked, getting a laugh from Sawyer in return. “I’ll make sure when I get merch you guys are the first ones to get it.” Trent smiled, “If we don’t,” He leaned closer to whisper in her ear, “I know where you sleep.” Sawyer rolled her eyes and chuckled at his threat, “I’ll make sure to lock my doors then.”

Trent looked down at his phone, “I hate to cut this celebration short, but we gotta go take pictures.” Chuck sighed, getting up from the couch, “Well, I guess we’ll see you later.” Sawyer waved, finding herself frowning when they were gone. Not even a few seconds later, there was a knock on her door. “It’s open!” Sawyer called out, but to her surprise, it was Chuck again. “Hey.”

“Oh hey; Did you forget something or..?”

Chuck wiped his palms on his shorts, “No, uh I just wanted to say something that wasn’t in front of Trent.” Sawyer nodded. “I know things are kinda dumb with Wardlow right now...so if you need anything, I mean anything, you can come to me.”

Sawyer smiled, she had only ever heard words like that from Nova or Veronica, so Chuck was a breath of fresh air. Sawyer fidgeted with her hands, “Thanks, Dustin. You’re a really, really great friend.” Chuck opened his mouth to speak but thought against it. “Of course, that's what...friends are for.” Chuck leaned in to kiss her cheek, “Catch you later, Sawyer.” He exited the room, leaving Sawyer, a confused and blushing mess.

“I can’t go out like this!” Nova whined as she looked herself over in the mirror. She had just bought this beautiful white blouse to wear for tonight’s Dynamite but ended up ripping it instead showing a huge piece of skin on the back. “I guess another wrestling shirt will have to do.” She went over to her backpack to look for a change of clothes, but automatically face-planted herself. “I left all of my shit back at the hotel,” She set her hand on her chin thinking of where she could find a replacement. She doubted Veronica or Sawyer had any shirts that fit her, so the next best choice was to go buy one from one of the merch stands.

She looked over the many choices on display, they had almost every roster member's merchandise. “I think a Team Taz shirt would fit you perfectly.” A voice crept from behind her, making her turn her head. “Of course, you would think that Ricky.” he flashed her a grin, before pulling out his wallet. “That or my personal favorite… the one in the corner.” He pointed towards his shirt, making her laugh.

“I’ll take the Team Taz, and Ricky Starks shirt please,” She told the cashier, having him start to bag them up. Nova reached for her purse before Starks had beat her to it giving them a 50 dollar bill.

“You didn’t have to do that,” She told him as she grabbed her items. “It’s a gift since you’re officially a part of AEW now.” He shyly admitted, causing her to stop. “I saw it on social media before going to find Cage and Taz.” She nodded, before heading over to one of the bathrooms. He pulled out his phone scrolling on social media when someone started yelling in his direction .

“AYO RICKY!” a booming voice down the hall caused him to turn his attention from his screen and down the hallway. “What are you doing on the other side of the arena? You said you were going to the bathroom and coming right back.” A furious Taz said, as he checked his watch. “I’m on a tight schedule-”

He stopped mid-sentence, as the bathroom door opened. Nova came out, and she was wearing her brand new Team Taz shirt. “I decided to save the other one for a different day…” She began, but her eyes darted towards the man that was next to Ricky.

“I’m sorry, was I interrupting something-“

“No, you’re fine. Nova this is Taz, Taz this is Nova Jay.” Ricky introduced them as she stuck her hand out for a handshake. He looked her over before letting out a laugh. “You’ve got to be ribbing me, man.”

They sent him a confused expression as he rolled his eyes. “Is this the girl you’ve been trying to get me to recruit? Weren’t you just on Dark a couple of weeks ago?” He started to yell, making a lot of people backstage look over.

“Ricky you’re a talented guy, everyone here knows that… I expected better.” Ricky opened his mouth to say something but was cut off. “I don’t think you heard me correctly. No new members, especially someone who just got here. Keep wearing everyone else’s merchandise, you’ll be gone in a couple of months.” He shrugged making her face frown. He walked off leaving Nova and Ricky alone.

“Nova..”

“You should go after him before he takes it out on you later.”

He sent her a half-smile, and wrapped his arms around her before saying anything, “I’m going to talk to him. Don’t let what he said affect you, I’ll see you on Saturday.” He kissed the outside of her hand, before jogging off.

A little while later, the girls were hanging out in Sawyer’s locker room, chatting about their contracts and the day they’ve had so far. “You won’t be gone in a couple months, don’t listen to Taz.” “Yeah, he looks like a penguin anyways.” Sawyer added on, wanting to make Nova laugh through the sucky situation. Nova exhaled, “I guess y’all are right. At least Ricky tried to defend me…” Sawyer and Veronica looked at each other, before looking back at Nova, making that face. Nova noticed it before rolling her eyes, “Stop it guys. I haven’t even gone on the date yet.”

“Whatever you say, Nova.” Veronica shrugged. “If it works out I better get a special toast at the wedding.” Sawyer joked, causing Nova to playfully push her over. Their laughter was interrupted by a knock on the door, “The door is open!” Veronica called between giggles. The door opened and a smiling Anna Jay and cheering Britt Baker walked in. “Congrats girls!” Britt shouted, giving them all hugs. “It's about time you guys were signed.” Anna mentioned, sitting next to Nova. The trio thanked them both, smiling.

“So,” Britt clasped her hands together, “we wanted to ask you guys if you wanted to go on a Girl’s Night Out with us.” Nova nodded frantically almost immediately, Sawyer thought for a second, “Y’know what, why not? A real celebration is due.” The four looked at Veronica, who hadn’t answered yet. “I don’t know guys, I was just gonna celebrate with Kenny tonight.”

Sawyer rolled her eyes and scoffed jokingly, “C’mon, who knows how many times you and Kenny have secretly hung out these past few weeks. It’s one night.” Veronica’s expression changed suddenly, then Nova added on, “We promise, he and the unlocked door will still be there when we get back.” The other girls laughed, while Veronica faked a laugh, feeling anger build up inside.

She sighed, “You’re right, I’ll be there later. But I gotta run.” Veronica sat up without another word, leaving the room and slamming the door behind her. “That was weird.” Anna said, lifting her eyebrows. “I’m sure she’s fine, just having one of her weird moments.” Nova shrugged, turning her attention back to everyone else.

Veronica walked away as far as she could. Sometimes it was difficult being friends with people like Nova and Sawyer, they all had their moments, but sometimes it could be a little much. A bar at the end of the hallway caught her attention. It looked empty until she saw a figure alone in the corner. She made her way over and sat next to him. “Rough night?” Adam Page asked not taking his eyes off his bottle. She let out a breath before rubbing her hand through her hair, “I guess you could say that,” she looked over at him taking in his features. “Do you have any extra glasses?” his ears shot up as she stared at him with curiosity. “There's some behind the counter.” His head gestured, making her nod. She hopped off the stool walking over to find what she was looking for. Hangman took a long glance at her. “Kenny was right, she is pretty,” he thought.

Kenny.

The whole reason he was drinking was because of that man. He took a hard swig, ignoring the burn in his throat. “I doubt your boyfriend knows you’re here.” He burst out of nowhere, making her sigh. She reached over to grab the Jack Daniels from him, “We are literally in the same building, he’ll be fine.” She chugged her drink before pouring another shot. His eyes widened, “Woah easy, why are you drinking so much?” He began to pick up his glass before realizing what he asked, making him put it back down.

“I just needed to get away from some people. I didn’t exactly plan to end up here.” She lightly chuckled before pushing the drink away, “What about you, Hangman? Why are YOU drinking so much?” she questioned making him slightly curse her. “Can you blame me? My friend’s kicked me out of their life, I have a tag team championship match coming up with some guy I’m pretty sure doesn’t even want to be in a tag team it’s…” He shot the glass down on the table hard, “It’s a lot to handle at one time.” Adam looked at her in the eyes, for the first time since she walked in, expecting them to show fear or terror. Instead, he was met with sincerity, and that caused him to sober up a bit. “I can’t speak for Matt and Nick, or Kenny but...” she sat down next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, “Maybe this is what’s best.” He gulped before reaching back to his drink. “You’re right. I don’t need those guys…all they did was cause me to forget who the hell I was.”

“I have a feeling you and I are going to get along quite well Hangman.” She laughed, causing him to smile. He raised his glass in the air, “To not caring about real life and drinking our problems away.” he joked, causing her to raise her glass as well. “I’ll drink to that.”

Back at the Hotel

Veronica arrived at her hotel room feeling a lot better than earlier. Her conversation with Adam repeated in the back of her head, while she opened the door revealing a stunning Anna Jay and Britt Baker. “Took you long enough, we thought you left Florida.” Baker joked, as Veronica embraced them in a hug. “Where are the two asshats?” Anna laughed, “Sawyer is finishing up with her braids, and Nova is,” a shoe flew and hit the wall separating Sawyer’s room from Veronica and Nova’s, “looking for her shoes.”

“Sawyer, did you steal my nude rockstuds?!” Nova popped out the closet and called to the other room. Sawyer walked into the room, “The Valentino ones that have a scratch on because you threw it at me when I said Max was better than you?” Nova glared at Sawyer, “Yes. Where are they?” “I don’t know, I tried to stick them down the garbage disposal but I couldn’t see cause you HIT MY EYE.”

“They’re in my bag from when I borrowed them last week.” Veronica spoke up, trying to end the commotion. Nova walked over to her luggage, sighing with relief when she found them. Nova plopped down next to Veronica to slip on her heels, “You and Sawyer better hurry up, I’m trying to get my celebration on!” Veronica rolled her eyes, getting up to look through her bag for something to wear.

“Hey, that's not completely on me, someone wouldn’t let me start braiding in my weave at the show.” Sawyer complained, braiding another lock and glaring at Nova and Anna. Sawyer turned back to her room to get ready with no disruption. Veronica followed, grabbing the outfit she was planning to wear and her makeup bag. The two stood side by side in Sawyer's bathroom, silently, besides that laughter and yelling going on in the room next to them.

“Can you zip me up?” Veronica asked, motioning to the back of her dress. Sawyer looked over, quickly zipping up the dress and fixing the straps. The two turned back to the mirror, no conversation. Sawyer twisted with the jewelry on her hands and wrists before turning over to Veronica, “Look. Earlier, I don’t know if it was the jokes, or maybe something else? But Nova and I didn’t mean to make you upset if we did, it was all in good-” “It’s fine. Just cool it with the Kenny jokes, please? I really like him. I can’t mess this one up.” Sawyer snapped her mouth shut, just nodding in agreement to what she was saying.

She had never been this serious about a relationship before, let alone been that upset about one of Sawyer’s jokes. “If you don’t mind, could we take the Kenny jokes down a notch? Just for tonight.”

“Yeah no that’s fine. Totally fine. I’m sure there are plenty of Ricky jokes I could make towards Nova.” Sawyer tried to laugh, but felt like it wasn’t coming out the way she wanted. “Gee thanks for killing the mood, V.” Sawyer thought to herself, putting on gloss to finish her look.

Veronica exhaled, putting all her stuff back in her makeup bag, smiling in the mirror to see if she was satisfied with her look. They both exited the room, walking into a bunch of hollers and cheers from the other three. “Now can we PLEASE go? I need a Malibu Sunset in my system.” Nova whined, leaning onto Anna’s shoulder. “Fine, fine. Just let me text Chuck ba-” Britt snatched the phone from Sawyer’s hand, “Not while girls night is happening you’re not.”

“Okay okay. No men…unless it’s a fine ass bartender.” Sawyer said slyly, starting to copy the mood of Nova. “Let’s get this party started baby!” Nova called out, the first one to dance her way out the door.

When they arrived at the bar they were immediately met with loud music and the smell of alcohol. “I’ve been waiting for this all night,” Britt yelled as she clapped her hands together, making them laugh. Veronica felt her phone vibrate in her clutch, she pulled her hand back trying to avoid checking it.

They ushered to a table in the back, Sawyer sat down thinking Veronica would have sat next to her; instead she sat in a chair on the way end of the table. She let out a huff of air, before rolling her eyes. Nova instead took the chair and picked up her menu. Sawyer looked around, stopping when she saw a pair of eyes already on her. She squinted trying to make out the face immediately realizing it was Wardlow. He smirked before lifting his glass and taking a long sip.

Sawyer slammed her hands down on the table making her way to the bar. Veronica raised a brow in confusion, but no one seemed to notice as they were all in their conversation. Her phone vibrated once again, making her look around at the table. She slowly pulled it out of her pocket and unlocked the screen.

Are you on your way here??

Veronica

Did you forget!?

Where are you? :(

She started to type out a response and thought against it. Her stomach filled with guilt, she didn’t want to hear them make even more fun of her relationship. Britt looked at her friend in worry before grabbing a shot off the tray Sawyer brought back.

“I didn’t say these were for YOU!” Sawyer said in disgust as Britt flashed a smile, “You don’t need all of these. Plus, I’m paying!” Veronica laughed, feeling her phone buzz once again.

I’m going to search this whole city if you don’t respond in the next 10 minutes.

Veronica looked up to see if anyone noticed, and as expected- Britt was staring right at her. “Is that the Cleaner?” She asked with a grin. Her face flushed pink before nodding. Britt let out a groan, “Fine. You can go see him, BUT, you have to let him know to never interrupt a girl’s night ever again.” “THANK YOU. I’ll make it up to you next time.” Veronica rushed gathering her things and exiting the bar. “Where is she going? She didn’t even drink anything.” Anna wondered.

“I think we all know where she’s heading,” Nova said, making them all laugh - except Sawyer. “She’ll be back after she’s done.” Sawyer tried to explain. “I don’t think she’s coming back.” Britt replied, “That girl is HOOKED.”

Wardlow seemed to notice from where he was sitting something was wrong. Sawyer fidgeted more with her glass than actually drinking it, and that made him worry. She looked up and saw him staring at her, her hands fell to her sides as she began to walk over to him. “Why do you keep LOOKING AT ME?” Sawyer asked with suspicion.

Wardlow raised his hands up in defense, “You just seem a bit upset,” his hands trailed to her waist pulling her forward, “And I know part of that is from what happened at the gym last week, and I’m so sorry for that. Seeing Maxwell on you… it made me feel a certain way.”

“Jealous?” Sawyer rose her brows while smirking at him.

“Me? Jealous? In your dreams maybe.” he laughed while his hands lowered feeling around causing her to bite the inside of her mouth. “Why don’t we get out of here? I saw Veronica already-”

“I can’t. I don’t plan on drinking anymore tonight, and the girls need to get home safely,” She told him as he frowned. “I understand, just text me when you get back to the hotel, alright?” She smiled, “I will. Goodnight Michael.”

He let go of the fabric of her dress and buttoned his coat up, “Congratulations by the way. I’ll make sure you get a better celebration party soon.” He winked at her which sent a wave of heat through her whole body. He kissed her on the forehead before making his way out. She closed her eyes, letting everything process. She didn’t know what was happening with Veronica, but did she even care? Wardlow seemed to be more interested and he wasn’t even sitting with them. Nova came over to pull Sawyer with her, Britt, and Anna, and for the first time in a long time, she danced like nothing else was happening.

well that as chapter 4 friends, hope you guys enjoyed. Be ready cause next is the date! @adriii-omega
