Kyra’s eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze sharpening as she glanced over at him. She leaned back in her seat, her hands gripping the edges of her bag tighter. “Zeke, don’t be crazy,” she said, her voice a bit sharper than intended, but the concern in it was still clear. “You know what will happen if my father finds out you’re helping me. He’ll come after you. I can’t let that happen. Not because of me.” Her words were laced with a mix of frustration and helplessness, as though she hated even thinking about the risks he was suggesting. She took a deep breath, her fingers tapping nervously against the seat. “I appreciate you wanting to help, but that’s not something I want on your hands. You’re already in enough danger just being close to me. I don’t want to drag you into this any more than I already have.” Her gaze softened as she looked at him, a trace of guilt in her eyes. “I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but I just can’t... I don’t want to see you get hurt because of my mess, Zeke. That’s the last thing I want.” She shook her head, looking out the window for a moment, lost in thought. Finally, she turned her head back to him, her voice quieter, tinged with a touch of regret. “Right now, I just need to keep my head down. That’s all I can do... just keep my head down and stay under the radar. That’s how I survive.”

"Did you just try by yourself or…" Zeke said as he continued to drive. He could see how easily it would be to get caught by her father if she didn't have a plan. He had eyes all over the city, if she tried to pack a bag and leave it wouldn't take too long for her father to find her. "It's his mess, not yours." He muttered. While Zeke asked for this life, he knew that Kyra didn't. She was simply born into it, and she longed for something normal. He knew he should stop putting ideas in her head, his whole job was supposed to be protecting her but he saw someone who was so hurt sitting in his passenger seat that he knew he had to at least try to help. As he continued to drive, he leaned back in his seat and toyed with the idea of helping. If her father caught wind of him helping at all he knew he would have his head, but if he could try and cover it up he might be able to get her out of here. "I could help you if you wanted it." He said with a little shrug of his shoulders, trying to make the offer as casual as possible Being as close as he was to her father, he knew it would be easy to pick up on his location and make sure she had everything she needed to leave. "Where would you want to go anyway?" He asked as he pulled up to his apartment building.

melanie hated the library after eight o'clock. the fluorescent lights buzzed too loudly, and the vending machines always seemed to jam when she needed something to steady her nerves. but tonight, it was quiet. too quiet. she hesitated just inside the doors, clutching the strap of her bag like it might keep her upright. she spotted valeria immediately, curled up in one of the oversized chairs by the windows, her laptop open and her coffee cup half-empty. her heart clenched. val looked so focused, so determined—and so out of reach. melanie’s fingers twitched at her sides, her breath catching before she found her voice. "val?" she stepped closer, but not too close. "i didn’t think you’d pick up if i called." quiet hung in the air, her heart slamming so wildly in her chest that she was sure val heard it. she swallowed and forced the words out before they choked her. "i miss you." she hated how shaky her voice sounded. she hated the way val wouldn’t even look at her now. but most of all, she hated herself for waiting this long to say it.

Jade's hands trembled as she clutched her daughter tightly to her chest. The papers she had received earlier today felt like a weight pressing on her lungs. She'd tried to be strong for her daughter, but now, in the safety of her best friend's home, the dam had finally broken.

Tears blurred her vision as she collapsed onto the couch, her daughter still nestled in her arms, playing quietly with a stuffed animal. ���He's... he's texting me, saying I’m a terrible mother," Jade spat, her voice shaking with both fury and frustration. "Telling me I don’t deserve her.”

"I haven’t even gotten a chance to breathe since those papers came. I don’t care what he says about me, but her.” Jade's voice cracked as the tears started to flow freely again, her chest tightening with the weight of everything she was carrying. "I don't have the luxury of giving up. If I lose her... I’ll lose everything." Her throat tightened with the raw truth of it, her whole body shuddering with the force of it.

although chloe didn't know anyone in that party besides kyle, she just knew it would be legit: after all, he was the one who brought her to the best parties and hangouts she's ever been, the only reason why she was able to meet so many good people. chloe was a recluse person, it was true: but that didn't necessarily mean she didn't like to socialize every now and then. so after a few shots, now completely out of known faces, she gathers closer to another girl, who seems just as recluse. "tell me you don't know this bastard" she gently moves her head towards kyle's direction, then back to the girl.

@heroexxs meet sanem togan kinda wild and free.

there wasn't a logical reason for why her day was always better when they came into the shop. it was an illogical thing, she had just accepted that when she first noticed after a few weeks of them coming in. there was a healthy amount of insanity a person could have, mostly leftover from the magic of being a child in her opinion. like the easter bunny or st nick or pots of gold at the end of rainbows.

today had been one of the less days, no drop in to pick out a new flower, and she'd pretended to be alright with that as she finished up orders and arrangements. as she finished for the night she played music and danced about the shop, putting things away for the next day before she grabbed her coat and her keys. she set the coffee machine and the store alarm before heading outside. while she was locking the front door however, the loud rumble of a motorcycle pulled her from her task as she watched them roll up in front of the shop.

It had been two weeks since Maité got the confirmation from her doctor that she was in fact pregnant and how far along she was. They'd had a long discussion about her choices and steps to move forward. It had been almost as overwhelming of an experience it had been when she'd taken the test and when Miles had found out that she suspected she was. Now it was confirmed and the brunette had been a hurricane of mixed emotions ever since. She thought about it all throughout her day, distracting her from work to the point that she ended up rousing a few suspicious glances from some of her coworkers.

Now she sat atop the examination table, awaiting the ultrasound tech to arrive to get a first glimpse at the baby growing inside her to see how things were coming along. Her nerves were still high and she let out a shake breath, chuckling softly as she glanced over to where Mile sat beside her in a chair. "God - I feel more nervous than I think I've ever felt before in my entire life. Which is silly because it's not like it's going to be something crazy." She said with a small shake of her head, feeling a little ridiculous by the confession. "I mean it's not like we'll even be able to really see anything yet anyway." While she had calmed down a ton when Miles promised her that he'd be with her no matter what she chose to do, Maité still hadn't been able to decide what she wanted to do. Sure she had told him she wanted kids sometime In the future but she couldn't help but wonder if this was too soon.

"so if you plan on saying i told you so, you better save it for after i leave. i'm too heartbroken to hear about how right you were." and really, terra had been right. they had said maeve's boyfriend ( well ex-boyfriend now ) was no good. and he'd prove it the very moment he'd dump her for another girl. "do you . . . think i can stay here tonight? we can get comfortable and order a fuck ton of food so i can eat my problems away," maeve offered. "i just can't go back home right now." although maeve had stayed over at terra's a dozen times before, she still felt the need to ask. terra was one of the few friends she had left and she didn't want to ruin it by being so overbearing. // @heroexxs

carrying on from HERE

knowing that gabe was going to be at the party made atticus nervous, she'd spent much longer on her look than normal, making an effort, and her friends teased her about it. she was excited about seeing him again though and looking forward to getting to know him, her roommate couldn't wait to be introduced too.

atticus entered her living room, from her kitchen, drink in hand, the party was in full swing. she spotted him, casually, she made her way over to him, trying to seem cool, "hey! you made it".

"Look, if you ask me, I can't think of a single better way to be spending my Friday evening than by drinking wine with one of my best friends." Matt lifted his glass to his lips and took a sip, smiling around the rim as he looked over towards Sarah. He loved their little catch ups like this, enjoying hearing about how she was getting on at work, whether anything interesting had been happening in her life.

when he said some people said he was pretty adorable, she snorted and nodded her head, "you are, too adorable, in fact." she sighed and leaned into his side again as his arm wrapped around her to keep her close. he spoke up again after a little while and she looked over at him, her gaze meeting his, and she smiled gently. "thanks. you don't look too bad yourself, casanova." cecelia sipped from her drink and smiled as the waitress brought out their food. she was starving, honestly. she hummed as she took a bite and rolled her neck a little bit. she smiled over at brion's sister and they talked about the dress a little bit and once dessert was over, they were all getting ready to head back to the hotel. cecelia looped her arm with bri's once more and she followed him out to his car. "fuck, it's so cold..." she said as they climbed into the car and buckled in.

as the two of them went to go sit down, he couldn't help but shift in his seat a bit, especially when his mother sat next to her. he knew they had to be on their a-game, at least until dinner was over. "shouldn't be too hard, right? some might say i'm pretty adorable." he teased in hopes to get some sort of laugh out of her. the kiss caught him off guard a bit, but he leaned in and wrapped an arm around the back of her chair, keeping her close to him. his whole family was around the table, but thankfully the attention wasn't always on them. his parents would ask a couple questions or two, but their main focus was on his sister which was what he really wanted. "i don't know if i told you this already, but you look good." he said with a small shrug and a smile as he caught her eyes. with how close his paretns were to the two of them, he was sure he could say just about anything and not get a reaction so they wouldn't blow their cover.

"come on, just let me put a little bit of glitter on you? it'll be cute." florence herself was only half dressed, walking around in a mini skirt and a bralette with her own makeup setting. now that they were living together, dani seemed to be a constant distraction. if she was always in reach, why wouldn't she be talking to her or sitting next to her or kissing her or touching her? "please?" she pleaded, batting her eyelashes as she sorted through her eyeshadow palettes for one with a lot of purples. "this would look so good on you."

she had hurried around when she got the text that he was on his way. she had remained frozen for a handful of moments - worry seeping into her bones. now, vivian set the pizza box on the counter, her manicured nails tapping against the cardboard as if the sound could drown out the nervous energy still thrumming in her chest. she grabbed a beer from the fridge, twisting the cap off without hesitation—an act so casual it felt foreign - like she’d stepped into someone else’s life. the icepack came next, her fingers curling around it tighter than necessary, as if holding it could steady her pulse. she wasn’t the type to fuss or hover; she didn’t worry about other people’s bruises or whether they ate after a long day. but jason wasn’t other people, and she hated how much that mattered. when she heard the knock at the door, she turned to make her way over and pulled it open. instantly her heart sunk at the sight of him all battered after his fight. "jay," she sighed, lifting the ice pack instantly to his face.

"Kev, don't," Her tone is still sympathetic but now, with the intention of absolving away his guilt—even if she wasn't physically able to do so. Maintaining the safety of their family was the most important thing to them and moving was the least of their concerns. But alot of planning had to be done, with a cautious perspective. "You were barely an adult when you got mixed up and into all this nonsense. You could not have predicted this." Part of Leona still wished she had known about his dealing when they begun dating, but their outcome could've changed (though, looking back now, she knew she would have been a walking contradiction to her morals. Life was about taking risks, afterall. It didn't define him and would've loved him the same.) "We've always tried to shade the kids away from danger, but in life, you can't protect them from everything. Trust me, I wish," And it makes her sigh once again. They're her babies. He's her rock. Her family is her home, even if they have to relocate miles or cities away. "But, I suppose til we have to move, we might as well have low maintenance security-- just-- just to keep us both at bay with a temporary peace of mind. Especially on Jon's graduation day." It makes her more anxious just thinking about it. Where was that cigarette from earlier?

Kevin wrapped his arms around her and she couldn't help but nuzzle, even if they were sitting against the uncomfortably hardwood kitchen chairs, because nonetheless it's a comforting feeling. She ALWAYS wants him around even if he think it's best to leave. In her eyes, it's not. She'd like to respectfully reprimand him for thinking so absurdly, but it's late, and there is no point (especially since Leona didn't like doing it last time). After twenty years of this long-term relationship and speaking sense into one another, he knows the familiar look in her eyes instead-- it will ALWAYS be you and me against the world, (even if that's another cliche saying). A moment of silence filled the air as Leona began to subconsciously play with the casual collar of his night-shirt, admiring the texture of the soft fabric and grounding feeling of his warmth. It kept her distracted but Leona still thought about all the possibilities ahead.

"A vacation at the beginning of the summer sounds like a good idea," Her voice dipped as she turned her head towards the hallway, having thought she heard footsteps approaching-- noting that this would be the worst time to lie to their kids. With a hum, she looked back at Kevin, with the certainty there was nobody there. "I have nowhere I want to particularly live in, as long as we've got everything we need, and a library, and snow at Christmas time." Taking a plane or a train anywhere might arise suspicions but if they had to travel that far and out of danger, they just might have to risk it even further. "I would say we should go somewhere more than a few hours away, however, we don't want to go too far or stay too close. If you give me the directions, I will do most of the driving. I've noticed your mid-day naps and don't mind taking the reigns." With a soft chuckle, Leona pressed a kiss to his cheek before deciding to shut her eyes and rest her head back against her husband's shoulder. All this talk made her more awake than tired. In the end, they would figure it out and she wholeheartedly believed it. Did someone really want Kevin dead? "If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to go?" This wasn't just about her, so, she asked him back.

THE ALCOHOL WARMED his throat. The music was crappy and loud. The lights were flashy and colorful. And Molly was, like always, looking absolutely beautiful. Adam sighed - their game was never going to end. "I should be offended." He almost yelled, coming into the other's line of sight. "I don't remember you telling me you were gonna hang here tonight." His smile held a tinge of fake disappointment as he shook his head. "Are you too cool to be seen partying with me now? I can take the truth."
