Chris Sturniolo was bad news. You knew it, every girl within a 100 mile radius knew it. Your own brother had warned you to stay away from him, despite being his best friend. That didnât stop you from wanting him though.

warnings: ABSOLUTE FILTH, very very plot heavy, rough sex, oral, choking, over-stimulation, mild bdsm, p in v, degradation, slight age gap, zero communication, angst

author's note: so, i found out as i was writing this that @worldlxvlys has a fic with a very similar premise because its inspired by the same song, check it out if u havent already, its so fucking good
Sex with Chris became frequent after that night at the party.
It was a rush, like being swept up in a storm, each moment together like a collision between two giant forces. Rough, loud, painful, and so, so satisfying.
You were currently on your knees, face pressed against the coarse carpet that covered the floor of your bedroom and your ass high in the air, being pounded by the guy who had taken up significant space in your life over the years.
Thank the lucky stars you were home alone tonight, because there would have been no doubt about what was happening in your room.
âFuck, fuck-â Chris groans, and you feel the way he grips your ass and spreads you apart, likely to watch his own dick moving in and out of your stretched-out pussy. âYouâre always so fucking tight-â he says, punctuating his words with hard thrusts.
All you can do is moan loudly against the carpet, your mouth agape as you squeeze around his unrelenting thrusts. You canât even tell how long it goes, only that he makes you cum, over and over, until he eventually chases his own release.
The clean-up that followed the sex was always quick but efficient, always done in silence. And once Chris was done with that, he always left with a quick kiss and pat to the cheek.
Sex with Chris hurt in the best way possible, and left you craving for more. And he never kept you waiting for long. You donât think too hard about all the other places he must be getting sex, all you focus on is the fact that he always comes to you eventually, even if you donât call for him.
-------------------------------------
âChris-â you whine against his mouth as he thrusts up into you, the head of his dick ramming into that spongy bundle of nerves inside you that whites out your vision and has you gasping for air. Your hands find purchase on his shoulders, nails digging into the fabric of his t-shirt, stretching it as you pull, pull, pull, while he pushes, pushes, pushes into you, his lips sliding over your cheek, barely audible groans escaping him as he holds you back against the counter in this random bathroom at this random house party.
The noise outside the bathroom is loud enough to drown out the sounds of Chris fucking you, devouring you, and your head thrums from the bass, the sensation in your body reduced to just that spot inside you, your lower back, where the edge of the counter digs into your skin, likely leaving bruises, and your hips, where Chrisâ hands grab and knead at the flesh as he drags you down onto his cock while thrusting up into you, over and over and over.
If anyone noticed how you limped for the rest of the night, no one pointed it out.
-------------------------------------
Another party, another chase. Youâd spent a good hour and a half keeping Chris on his toes as you trailed from room to room, flirting with other guys and getting increasingly tipsy. At least, thatâs what youâd thought, until you spotted him leaning over some girl, trailing his fingers up her thigh.
Youâd decided to just grab the guy closest to you, quickly ask for his name before demanding that you kiss him, and he does, does it with fervor as he runs his hands all over you, trailing them up over the back of your thighs before kneading your ass cheeks over your jeans, pulling you close. Through the corner of your eye, you see Chris, now kissing the girl he had been talking to, except his eyes are locked onto yours.
You watch the corner of his lips lift slightly, and you feel like you keep losing this game you created in your head.
Ten minutes later, Chris has you on your knees on the bathroom floor, the cold tiles digging into your skin as he shoves his dick into your willing, open mouth. He uses you, makes you choke and gag on it, tears streaming down your face and spit trailing down your chin as he thrusts it in and out of you.
Another ten minutes, before he comes down your throat and shoves you off his cock, leaving you gasping for air.
He doesnât say a word as he extends his leg forward, pressing the toe of his shoe against your clothed cunt, rubbing it against your jeans.
You know what he wants. So you give it to him.
You rut against his shoe, clawing at his leg as you sob and beg for more.
âWhat was that?â he asks with a mocking tone. âYou want to get fucked?â
You nod furiously, forehead pressed against his thigh.
âGo ask that guy you were all over earlier.â
That was the first night youâd kissed a guy that wasnât Chris, and in front of him too. It was also the first night heâd left you without making you cum.
-------------------------------------
Chris had one hand clamped tightly over your mouth, while the other was trapped between you, furiously stroking over his dick while he rutted against your stomach.
Youâd barely had the time to process it at the time, but Chris had climbed into your room through the open window and proceeded to pin you down on your bed and kiss you fiercely.
That was a few hours ago. Since then he had fucked you twice, once on your back, before heâd flipped you over and fucked you on your knees, your face pushed into your duvet and his hand still clamped over your mouth to make sure you didnât get too loud.
âYouâre so good, you always take it so well.â
âSuch a good girl for me, you like that donât you?â
âYouâre mine, yeah? Tell me. Only mine.â
âOne more, you can take one more right?â
And you did take more, over and over and over again. Because it felt good. Only because it felt so good, despite the growing pang in your chest that became stronger every time Chris left.
-------------------------------------
Chris wasâŠan enigma.
Despite the casual nature of your ârelationshipâ, Chris tended to say and do things that confused you. And perhaps that was what got so many girls hooked onto him. The way he treated you like you were all his, all that he wanted, even though his womanizing nature was well-known.
At first, it seemed like a calculated move on his part, like he knew exactly what he was implying with his words and actions, a vague promise for more, even when both he and his girls knew there was no chance of it happening.
The more time you spent with him however, the more clear it became that Chris seemed almost sincere most of the time. Or maybe that was the delusional part of you, hoping he might be?
Is this what all the other girls heâs with go through? A constant spiral of wondering what was real and wasnât, with their relationship with Chris?
A soft snore pulls you out of your thoughts and back to reality, where Chris, the man who usually doesnât stay long once heâs done the deed, was now sleeping under your covers, one arm slung across your middle, while you leaned against your pillows.
It was surreal, seeing him like this, looking the most vulnerable youâve ever seen him. Youâd expected him to help clean you up and leave as soon as heâd fucked you, but instead, heâd stayed, waited for you to take a quick shower, before he too snuck into your bathroom to clean up and eventually crawled back under your covers.
It wasnât the first time heâd stayed, but you still find yourself asking-
âWhat are you doing?â
âShh, Iâm tired, letâs sleep for a bit,â he mumbles, eyes already closed, one arm hanging off the edge of your bed, while the other pulls you close.
âIsnât this like, against your rule or something?â you ask, trying to fight back the urge to cuddle up against him and run your fingers through his hair. It looked so soft, fanning against your pillow, the moonlight creating a slight halo around him.
He looked beautiful.
âDo you do this with your other girls?â Another question youâd asked before, the first time heâd slept over.
All he does is hum dismissively in response, just like last time.
You settle down under the covers, relishing in the warmth of Chrisâ body, exhaustion from your earlier activities settling into your bones as the fresh scent of your own body wash wafting off of both of your skins sends you off into a dreamless sleep.
Hours later, just before sunrise, youâre startled awake by the sound of a branch hitting your window. It was still dark, but there was the noticeable lack of a body next to you, and the warmth that was quickly fading.
That was the one of the rare nights when Chris had stayed the night. And just like always, he left without a trace, the only reminder of his presence being the soreness between your legs and used condoms and tissues in the waste basket under your desk.
-------------------------------------
You knew this was getting out of hand.
Things were only escalating with Chris. What had started out as an experiment of sorts, a game, one that barely had rules to begin with, was starting to feel like a trap. The way he was attentive and disinterested in equal measure, the way he was so attuned to your pleasure and somehow still came across as a selfish jerk who only cared for his own, the way he always, always made it hurt in just the right wayâŠit was almost degrading how exhilarated it made you feel.
You hadnât accounted for how addictive Chris would become.
Speaking of addiction, you were currently experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
You pull out your phone and scroll through the last few texts youâd exchanged with Chris.
> Can i come over?
> uh..is everything okay?
> Yeah.
> Why?
> u usually just.. show up lol, whyâre u asking this time?
> Heard you were prepping for college apps
> yeah
> Busy?
> kinda? u can still come over if u want..
> itâs been a while
> Have you been counting the days since we last fucked? Lol
> shut up ohmygod
> r u coming over or not?
> Yeah, gimme a few.
> okay
That had been a week ago. Chris had never showed up.
You had tried your best to ignore how hurt youâd felt. Youâd instead just focused on your applications, working on your essays and filling out endless forms. Youâd even gone out with your friends to take your mind off of everything, attempted to hook up with another older guy at a bar, but heâd turned out to be much older, and married at that, which had put you in an even more sour mood than before. Youâd promptly decided to go back home then.
Your shitty mood must have been really obvious, because your brother, who was back home for break from college, showed up at your bedroom door, leaning against the frame as he watched you do your nightly skincare routine. Heâd seen the way youâd walked up to your room, scowl so deep with a faraway look in your eyes.
âDid something happen at the bar?â he asked, stepping into your room and closing the door to make sure your parents wouldnât overhear your conversation.
You pause, watching him through your vanity mirror as he flops onto your bed, displacing your carefully placed pillows and plushies, sending one of them tumbling to the ground.
A deep inhale.
âNo, nothing happened,â you say with a deep sigh. âWell, there was this one guy-â
âFucking hell, whatâd he do?â your brother interrupts.
âRelax, nothing happened. He was flirting with me, but turns out he was married. Made me feel icky so I left right after.â
âOh, okay. What a loser.â
âI know, right?â
You and your brother enjoy the special kind of comfortable silence that only being in each otherâs company provided.
âYouâve been kind of off lately,â he finally says. âYou wanna, um⊠you wanna talk about it?â
So much for comfortable silence.
After a few long seconds, you reply. âThereâs nothing to talk about.â
âYouâre kind of a shit liar, kid.â
You ignore him, focusing instead on smoothing some oil into your hair before braiding it. Behind you, your brother sighs, shifting on your bed. Incrementally, his sighs get louder, and he rolls back and forth on your bed, rustling up the covers and making an even bigger mess than before.
âStop that, will you?â you snap at him, glowering at him through your mirror.
âIâm bored.â
âGo be bored anywhere else.â
âNot leaving until you tell me whatâs been bothering you.â
âGet out.â
âNuhuh.â
âYouâre so annoying, oh my fucking god- stop messing up my bed!â you yell, chucking your hairbrush at him. You let out a satisfied chuckle when you hear a yelp.
Silence.
âWant to go on a drive? Like we used to?â
You turn to face your brother who is now sitting up on your bed, legs crossed as he picks at one of our plushies. When your donât answer right away, he looks up at you, giving you a conspiratorial grin.
âLetâs sneak out and get food,â he whispers, eyes wide and eyebrows raised with a wolfish smile.
It makes you laugh, the idea of sneaking out as a fully grown adult with your older adult brother, and you wonât know until much later, but your brother had let out a sigh of relief at seeing you relax a bit.
Abandoning your plans to head to bed, you and your brother quietly make your way downstairs, grab your jackets and head out in his car, and everything felt simple again. The two of you used to do this a lot more often when he was still in school. Every time you seemed stressed, he would suggest an impromptu late night drive around the town, making stops at either a gas station or one of the many restaurants near you to get a late night snack.
You sat, once again in comfortable silence, listening to a song you didnât recognize softly playing through the car radio, as the two of you dug into the lamb shawarmas youâd decided to get as tonightâs late night snack.
âOh, this shitâs so fucking good,â your brother groaned through a big, messy bite, making you laugh and gag at the same time, and you shove at his shoulder, exclaiming about how gross he was being, before the two of you just end up shoving at each other and giggling like little kids.
You felt good. Normal.
âYou know you can talk to me about anything right,â he says, sauce still smeared across his lip and cheek.
âI know, I know,â you say, as you shove a few napkins into his face.
âUnless itâs about sex. I donât wanna hear about you fucking some dude. Or girl, I donât care.â
âWow, okay.â
âBut if whatâs got you down- and donât lie, I know somethingâs up- has something to do with some guy- or girl, like I said, I donât care- youâll tell me if it gets too bad right?â
âDefine âtoo badââŠ,â you say, picking at the wrapper on your now half-eaten shawarma.
âDonât want you to get hurt, kid, thatâs all.â
You look up at your brother, who is looking straight ahead, still chowing on his food. You feel overwhelmed suddenly, and everything from the past week catches up to you.
The stress from wondering if youâll get into college, the doubt from figuring out if college was even what you wanted to do, and then there was Chris, and oh, how could you tell your brother about any of that? He would absolutely flip, and you feel so ashamed.
You settle on telling him itâs just the stress of college applications.
âRight,â he says, drawing out the word. âMakes sense, makes sense. You know, if you need help with any of it, just let me know yeah?â
You werenât going to ask him for help. You nod anyway.
âOh, by the way,â your brother turns to you, leaning against the car door with an excited gleam in his eyes. âDid you hear? The triplets are going to L.A.!â
âWhat.â
âYeah! Apparently, their channel is really hitting it off, so theyâre like prepping to move there, âcause thatâs where all the youtubers and influencers are, right? More opportunities and things like that. Isnât that cool? Iâm excited for âem.â
Your brother goes back to blissfully munching on his food, leaving you shell shocked and dazed.
âYeahâŠgood for them.â
-------------------------------------
The next couple of days went by in a blur. You threw yourself into applications, now extending them into a job search to desperately keep yourself occupied. The initial plan had been to take a gap year after school, which is why youâd been so lax with your college prep. Some of your friends had already heard back from their dream schools and were already preparing to move to different places for the upcoming academic year, some were already working, and you were just, in limbo. And you didnât mind until now, until youâd realized that youâd end up getting left behind by everyone.
EvenâŠChris.
That asshole still hadnât texted or called, and the only time you heard about him was through your brother when heâd vaguely mention about seeing the triplets when he went over to their house. You knew that you could just as well contact him, but pride and your hurt feelings kept you from doing so. Instead, you wallowed in shame and anger at having let this man leave you feeling so disoriented.
This wasn't the plan. The plan had been to hit it and quit it, see what the hype around Chris was all about but heâd managed to crawl under your skin, leave you wanting more.
Just as youâre about to work yourself into another spiral over the man, you hear a series of sharp taps against your bedroom window. You look up, startled, to find exactly the person you didnât want to see right now.
âSince when do you lock your bedroom window?â you hear Chris ask, voice muffled through the glass.
You remain seated on your bed, leaning against your pillows, frozen, before you slowly pick your phone up from where youâd dropped it beside you, and pretend to mindlessly scroll through it.
âLet me in, babe, câmon-â
A few more seconds go by, with Chris alternating between tapping your window and texting you to get your attention. Worried that he might end up waking the whole house, you finally make a move to open your window.
âI almost fell off that fucking tree waiting for you to-â Chris starts to say, but one look at your face has him stopping in his tracks.
âHey, hey, whatâs wrong?â
You werenât sure what he was seeing, but you could feel a knot building up in your throat, a slight tremor in your limbs. The last thing you wanted to do was cry in front of this man.
âWhat do you want, Chris?â you ask, sitting down on the edge of your bed, refusing to look at him, instead focusing on a loose thread on your sheets, picking at it while trying to get your breathing under control.
You feel him step closer to you, until heâs standing right in front of you, your face now level with his waist. Chrisâ hand comes up to grab your chin, lifting your head up with a gentleness that surprises you.
âYou mad at me, baby?â he asks with a soft smile, and it throws you off, makes you angry, because why the fuck did he have to go sounding like a boyfriend coming home to a girlfriend whoâd gotten upset over something trivial?
You huff, rolling your eyes at him, which makes him grab your chin slightly harder.
âDonât give me that attitude right now,â he says, voice dropping an octave. âWhy wouldnât you let me in?â
Your attempt at looking passive was failing, and anger takes over, making you glare daggers at him.
âTwo weeks, Chris. Almost two weeks of radio silence, and what, you expect me to just be here waiting for with open arms? What the fuck is wrong with you?â you spit out, smacking his arm away from you, making him let you go.
âOh come on,â he drawls out, body going half limp as he lets his head roll back. âI got busy! Didnât think youâd be this mad, and- and, hold on- I didnât expect you to be waiting for me, I just donât get why youâre mad!â
âYouâre such an asshole.â
âWell yeah, but you already knew that, didnât you,â he says with a cocky smile, hands reaching out to grab yours. âStop being so upset, Iâm here now, yeah?â
âYou canât just show up whenever itâs convenient for you and expect me to be okay with that. You made plans that night to come to me and just ghosted me! For weeks!â
He looks puzzled, like he genuinely doesnât understand why you would be upset and that just makes you even more upset.
You feel like an afterthought to him. To a man who had taken up significant space in your life, you were justâŠnothing. And you canât blame anyone but yourself for this situation youâre in because you knew **what you were getting into, you knew this was all it would be and yetâŠ
âWhen were you going to tell me you were leaving?â
Chris freezes up, his fingers that were running up and down your arms stilling against your elbows.
After a brief pause, he sighs, dropping to his knees in front of you and burrowing his head into your lap, bringing your hands up around his shoulders.
âHowâd you find out?â he asks, voice muffled against your t-shirt. âWait, let me guess. Your big-mouth brother?â
That makes you chuckle. âYeah, he mentioned it a few nights ago.â
âI wasnât lying, Iâve been busy preparing to leave. Nick is the one working on the logistics mostly, but yeahâŠâ
âYou couldâve said something,â you whisper, hand coming up to hover over Chrisâ head. It seems like Chris senses your hesitation, because he grabs your hand and places it on his head, which you take as permission to run your fingers through the soft strands, combing through the slight knots that were close to his nape and gently smoothing it out.
âWe werenât gonna tell anyone until we had everything figured out.â
âSo how did my brother find out?â
âStupid Matt probably mentioned it when he came over.â
In a distant part of your mind, you think about how weird this all is, having Chris like this, soft and vulnerable, so unlike his usual domineering self. Youâre still upset with him, but it feels nice, having this Chris.
âIâm still mad at you.â
âI know. I didnât wanna slip up and end up telling you, which is why I stayed away for a bit.â
âYou still couldâve texted, told me something came up.â
âI know,â he whines. âWould you believe me if I said I did mean to text you but every time I thought about it, something else would come up and eventually I justâŠforgot.â
âRight. You forgot.â
The sharp pain in your chest was starting to feel normal in conjecture with Chris at this point. Of course he just forgot to text you, because thatâs how insignificant you were to him.
You pull your hand away from his hair and gently try to move out from under him.
âWhen are you leaving?â you ask, sitting at your desk to put some physical distance between the two of you, even though your body was screaming to just fall into his arms.
Chris looks at you with an expression you canât read, before moving to sit on your floor and lean against your bed frame, leaning his elbows over his knees.
âEnd of the week.â
âThatâs two days away.â
He hums, letting his head drop back against your bed.
âGuess your roster of girls are going to have to find a new way to occupy their time, huh?â you say in hopes of lightening the mood.
It undoubtedly does the opposite.
Chris makes a noise that sounds somewhere between a laugh and a scoff. He lifts his head back up and fixes you with a gaze that makes you shiver, his eyes now cold and distant as he smirks up at you.
âOne last fuck before I leave? You can find another guy after that, but I doubt anyone here is gonna be anywhere near as good as me,â he says as he runs his fingers through his hair.
And thatâs how you find yourself under Chris, wrists caught in his hands and held up above your head as he fucks into you.
Itâs different this time.
He watches you intently, and it makes you uncomfortable, his unrelenting gaze, but your focus is split between that and the fact that heâs fucking you with deep, slow drags of his cock against your inner walls. Heâd eaten you out right before, worked you up and left you wet and sloppy, close to squirting before pushing into you, eyes locked onto your face as he slowly stretched you out.
You could feel it build up inside you, the pressure to release, but he was going slower than usual, focusing on fewer but deeper thrusts that left you biting into your lip to keep you from crying out loud.
âTell me, whoâs gonna fuck you like this, hm?â Chris asks, his free hand coming up to wrap around your throat. âTell me.â
You gasp, your pussy clenching around him as he tightens his grip around your throat.
âNo one,â you breathe out, voice low and rough from your throat being squeezed. âNo one, no one else, please-â
âYeah? Youâre mine, arenât you?â
You nod against his grip, near sobbing at this point, begging for him to just fuck you harder and let you cum.
âSay it. Say the wordsâ
âIâm yours, Iâm yours, please- please fuck me harder, please-â
Chris lets go of your wrists, but you keep them where they were, and he lets out a satisfied hum which has you preening.
Chris sits up, his hands moving to grab your hips, and you brace yourself to be fucked hard, but Chris keeps up with the slow pace still, as he pulls you onto his lap, making you cry out in frustration, a fresh set of pleas falling from your lips in hopes of urging him to just take from you like he usually does.
You watch through blurry, tear-filled vision as Chris runs his hands up your stomach, palming at your breasts while he bucks up into you.
âChris, pleaseâŠâ
He ignores you, fingers now drawing invisible lines across the planes and curves of your body, thumbs dipping into the crease between your cunt and thighs, feeling you all over while he watches you with his intense blue eyes.
You almost miss it, what with the blood rushing in your ears and your own moans, but you hear Chris whisper, âIâm going to miss this.â
And thatâs what sends you over the edge, the prospect of Chris missing you, even though a rational part of you knows itâs probably just the sex, just this, your warm body under his to be used by him.
Still, it makes you cum harder than you ever have before, leaves you sobbing and almost screaming. Chris holds down your body, your hips thrashing wildly as your cunt leaks and squeezes rhythmically around him, which sets him off and makes him come inside you.
Everything after that follows as usual. He rolls off of you, methodically cleans the both of you off, discards the used condoms and tissues, and tells you heâs leaving.
You watch as he makes his way to your window, back tense as he runs his fingers through his mussed up hair.
âBye,â you whisper, trying to ignore the fact that it will be a while until you see him again in person. Months, maybe a year, instead of just a week and a half.
Chris turns then, and you canât make out his expression in the dark, with his back lit by the moonlight.
You watch, breath catching in your throat as he makes his way back to you, hesitating for the first few steps.
He leans over you, knees bent awkwardly as he angles himself to your height. His hands come up to rest over your cheeks, thumbs rubbing across them, before he completely takes you by surprise with a final kiss.
Itâs not the kiss itself that catches you off-guard, but the gentleness and timing of it. You and Chris have kissed before, in fact, youâd done it every time heâd fucked you, but only during. Always during. Never after.
He nips at your bottom lip, licking into your mouth when you gasp, his fingers carding through your hair as he angles your head to deepen the kiss. Your hands clutch at the front of his shirt, stretching the fabric. The next few moments are just this, soft touches as you break apart and keeping going back in for more, quiet but heavy breathing in your dark room as you drink each other in.
You feel tears building up behind your closed eyelids, melting into his touch, and itâs almost funny how much this feels like youâre bidding farewell to a long-time, steady lover. One who wasnât just a casual sex partner.
It makes you laugh, a wet sound that barely covers up the sob that follows it, and Chris chuckles too, leaning his forehead against yours.
âWhat the fuck am I doing?â he asks to no one in particular.
âI donât know, Chris,â you answer anyway, your fingers playing with the chain on his neck. âYou tell me.â
One more kiss, pressed hard against your lips with a sigh, before he stands back up and makes his way back to your window.
âIâll see you later,â he says without turning back.
And with that, he was gone.
That was the first and last night Chris had kissed you after sex. It was also the last night youâd see him before he left for L.A.
-------------------------------------
You hadn't realized how big of a gap Chris would leave in your life.
Things kept changing, time kept moving, albeit slowly, but you were still waiting to catch up with everyone else.
You try to fill the void by hanging out with your friends, getting drunk and high, chasing phantoms of Chris at different parties, finding yourself pressed between bodies that were distinctly not his.
You dated. Like, actually tried. Chris had been in your life since you were sixteen, and you hadnât sought out anyone for two years after that, but it was high time. Youâd stayed loyal to a guy who wasnât your boyfriend and maybe that had been your mistake. Maybe you shouldâve pulled a page out of Chrisâ book and just slept around like he did, maybe then you wouldnât have felt soâŠlost right now.
But you hadnât wanted anyone else. Not like you wanted him.
Still, you tried, but it was becoming increasingly clear that you had a pattern. The only guys you ended up actually talking to all happened to be older than you, friends, or friends of friends, of your brother. Subconsciously, you were probably seeking out for a proxy of Chris, some way to replace him in the best way you could.
Elijah had been sweet. He took you out on dates, bought you gifts, and was a real gentleman. Your brother had eventually caught on, and when youâd expected him to be mad, heâd actually approved, told you that Elijah was a good guy and that he trusted him to take care of you. That didnât stop him from giving Elijah the shovel talk though.
It was good, for a while. Elijah was sweet, maybe too sweet. He was soft with his affection, and it made you feel undeserving.
You felt broken, for being unsatisfied with a man as amazing as him.
The breakup was rough. There were tears, both of you an absolute mess as you tried to explain why you were feeling the way you did without giving away too much, and to his credit, Elijah took it well. He was respectful, didnât pry, and wished you the best.
âIâve grown to care for you, a lot,â heâd said, holding your hands in his. âI want you to be happy, and if thatâs not with me, Iâll just have to learn to live with it.â
You hadnât realized how serious it had been for him.
You felt like a bitch.
Jason wasâŠwild. He was loud and obnoxious in a fun way, and reminded you of a certain someone. The two of you had hooked up in the back of his car upon your second meeting at a bar, the first one being at your house when heâd come over with a bunch of other guys to help your brother move out and into his own apartment closer to the city.
It didnât last long. He was not a good lay, and that was that.
-------------------------------------
Ray was amazing. You started talking to him a little after youâd decided to go to community college to get your life in track. Youâd gotten accepted into a few colleges of your choice, but in the end, you still didnât know what you really wanted to do, when the local community collegeâs brochure caught your eye, and you found some exciting writing and teaching courses.
Ray was supportive, knew what he wanted and got you thinking about what you wanted too. A great listener, and even greater in bed. He was a little emotionally distant sometimes, but even that heâd patiently talked to you about, explaining how he had a hard time expressing emotions in front of people.
You were still going strong, many months into talking and dating, and he had yet to do anything that put you off. Heâd even come over to your house for dinner with your parents and brother, and everything had gone well.
Days were exciting again, especially with an amazing boyfriend who you seemed to match really well with. The two of you were amazing at communicating, especially because Ray was good at it, and he was influencing you in such a positive way. You were also sexually so, so compatible, and it just, worked.
Everything was going well.
Until one night, when youâre getting ready to go on a date with Ray, and you hear voices downstairs, loud excited exchanges. You figure itâs Ray and your brother just chatting it up before you have to leave, so you hurry up, fix your hair and put on your heels, before rushing downstairs to greet your man.
The sight that greets you has you stopping dead in your tracks.
âOh.â
At the sound of your voice, all heads in the room turn toward you. Nick, Matt, and Chris had come back to visit their family, and had decided to stop by your place to see their best friend. Your parents and your brother were there too, and suddenly everyone is exclaiming about how great you look.
You feel disoriented, trying to keep your reaction normal as you brush off compliments from your parents, Nick and Matt. Your brother just rolls his eyes with an affectionate look, while Chris remains silent, his eyes raking over your figure.
âWell, youâre way too dressed up to just be hanging out with friends,â Matt comments eventually. âDate?â
Your mother answers for you. âOh, sheâs been seeing Ray! Heâs such a nice boy.â
Your father grunts, muttering something under his breath but nodding all the same.
To anyone else, besides his brothers perhaps, Chris looked like the picture of impassive, but youâd learned to read his body language over the years.
He was pissed. You could tell.
Thing is, even after Chris had left, the two of you had kept in touch. Youâd done your best to avoid watching the tripletsâ videos, especially after youâd come across ones that featured Chris with different influencers, the prettiest girls youâd ever seen. You didnât need to work yourself up over the fact that he was around all these beautiful people now. It didnât matter anymore.
But avoiding the videos was different from avoiding the man himself. You couldnât help it, texting him every now and then, asking about life in L.A. He always answered, even if sometimes it was days late. Neither of you brought up what had transpired on the last night heâd spent with you before he left, and neither of you talked about the casual sex that had preceded it.
It was an interesting development, talking to Chris like he was just another friend. He didnât seem like he way trying too hard to maintain a certain facade, like he was trying to hide parts of him.
The two of you talked a lot more in the almost one year apart than you did in the two years youâd been in each otherâs vicinity.
Youâd conveniently left out the part about you dating Ray though, or any of the other guys, from all your conversations. You didnât feel the need to. Itâs not like Chris was talking about all the dates he was going on, and you were sure there were plenty of those back in L.A., so in the interest of keeping things friendly and casual and normal, you didnât talk about your love life.
You announce to the room that youâre going to grab a drink from the kitchen, hoping to escape the chaos and wait for Ray in there.
Your parents retreat back to their room. You hear your brother and the triplets chat for a while before you hear Chris ask if there was any Pepsi in the house. You hear your brother offer to grab him one, but he politely says heâd just get it himself.
A few beats of silence, before you hear soft footsteps that get louder as they get closer to the kitchen.
âHow long?â Chris asks, as he appears in the doorway of the kitchen.
âWhat?â you ask, hands gripping the counter as you watch him move closer to you.
âRay. How long have you been seeing him?â
He pauses right in front of you, towering over you, as he waits for you to answer.
âItâll be our six month anniversary in a couple of days,â you answer, looking down and choosing to focus on your own clothes, picking at a hem of your sleeve.
âFunny, you didnât mention him in any of your texts.â
âDidnât feel the need to,â you reply, turning your head to the side when you feel his face moving closer to yours. âBesides, itâs not like you were telling me about all the people you were dating back in L.A.â
âI wasnât dating anyone.â
âDating, fucking, whatever.â
Chris tenses at that, before stepping closer, hands caging you against the counter, and you catch the faint whiff of weed on his clothes.
âYou look good,â he finally says, hand coming up to brush against the fabric of your dress where it was cut against your thigh.
âThank you,â you mumble, wondering how no one had come in to see whatâs taking either of you so long in the kitchen.
Just as youâre about to suggest that you both go back outside to sit with others, before you do something you regret, you hear the doorbell ring, and Rayâs voice calling out for you.
You jump, trying to get past Chris, but his hands stay where they are, palms on the counter as his head drops to your shoulder, mumbling something you couldnât quite catch.
âWhat?â
âI missed you, baby. Couldnât fuck anyone without thinking of you.â
And before you know it, heâs stepping away and backing out of the kitchen, his Pepsi forgotten on the counter.
You stay frozen, trying to process what happened. Ray eventually comes to you in the kitchen, greets you with a smile and a deep kiss, tells you how beautiful you look before whisking you away and into his car for your date.
And the whole time, all you can think about is Chris.
authorâs note: idk how i feel about this one, it's plot heavy and angsty and i feel like idk idk if anyone's gonna like it but here (: likes, comments and reblogs r much appreciated <3

thankful to have a body but God why did it have to be this one
#do you have any idea how alienating it is to constantly be struggling to keep up with people doing basic things#and everyone just expects you to be able to do everything they can & MORE they ask of you#ive pushed myself over and over and over to the point of making myself physically SICK for days on end#doing more doesnt HELP it just makes me SICKER#but when i ask for grace its like i just need to try a little harder#do a little more#get used to moving again thatll fix it#i just havent done enough i never DO enough#even when i do the ABSOLUTE MOST I CAN AND BEYOND i just havent done ENOUGH#i LIKE being the helper i enjoy it but i have limits#and i have more limits than the average person#and it feels like nobody cares#theyll let me work myself to death if it means i get the favor done#vent#oops sorry#original

BUT im simply more determined so#tricule rant#killer sans#horror sans#dust sans#murder time trio#utmv#sans au#fandom event if the mtt ever became real. we're all lining up to the facility to ask one question#world's hardest challenge: if you could ask the murder time trio one thing what would it be#FUCK idk...... id simply hav too many questions!!!!

Hate having adhd went to go work on my fallout modpack, got distracted while going to disable the steam overlay, ended up in the points shop, went to go edit my profile, decided to change my pfp, found a buried folder I forgot existed, found some old Veneer art I forgot existed, spent 45 minutes looking at all the old photos, STILL HAVE NOT TOGGLED ONE SIMPLE OPTION THAT SHOULD'VE TAKEN 30 SECONDS AT MOST
#I'm shocked I have these drawings scanned on my pc I don't remember doing that I must've done it before I left in case my mom threw all my#Art out again#Anyway at age 12 I was writing a better '3 merpeople go on land to find a 4th one that has been disguised as a human all his life' story#Than Ma/ko Merm/aids EVER did so uh. Take that Jonathan#God it sucks so bad that kid me would've LOVED MM if it just DIDN'T HAVE THE STUPID GENDER WAR BULLSHIT#Literally the entire first and second season is just. So fucking stupid. I wrote a God damn essay about how they fumbled Erik's story SO BAD#I don't even LIKE Erik BUT THEY DID HIM SO DIRTY#THE CHARACTER POTENTIAL AND WRITING COULD'VE BEEN BETTER THAN ZANE B. S1 OF H2O BUT THEY THREW IT AWAY AND FOR WHAT!!!!!!!#Seriously you're telling me a kid who was abandoned his entire life for being male didn't have a bigger impact on the pod than FUCKING ZAK?#That plot twist of 'oh actually Zak was a merman all along' was 100% so they could guilt free write Erik out#Instead of like. Having him face his actions or redeem himself in like. Any way. He just fucks off. THEN the pod is like lol Zac were sorry#We're sorry for literally not doing anything to you because you were privledged enough to have a mother who was super ultra powerful#So you were never really affected by our actions until JUST now. Unlike that other fuckface Erik who suffered his whole life alone#Also then in s3 there are STILL no mermen in the pod. Not even little mermen babies. No kids and teens they've welcomed back n apologized to#NOTHING#God. Mm pisses me off dude#AND I STILL HAVENT TOGGLED THAT FUCKING OPTIONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#Cruddy rambles#God I'm not done I'm sorry fallout can wait YOU ARE TELLING ME THE GUY WHO TELLS US HOW SHITTY MERMAN BABIES R TREATED BY THE POD. IS NOT#THE SAME ONE THE POD APOLOGIZES TO IN THE SEASON FINALE BECAUSE THEY WROTE IN A SHITTY PLOT TWIST?#AUUUUUUUHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG#It's so bad. It's so fucking bad. It's so needlessly gendered and for what. They could've just had 2 rival warring pods#What pisses me off the most is that s3 (4) completely pivots and never really follows thru with the s1 and 2 story arcs#The writers just kinda wash thsir hands of that because 'hey the pod said sorry to zac' BUT THEN NOTHING ACTUALLY CHANGES!!!!#Maybe instead of having a constantly rotating cast of characters s3 (4) could've instead focused on Ondina and Erik's relationship a bit#Maybe have Ondina tell him she wants to just stay friends because she can't trust him. Have him IDK grow and change as a character?#Maybe so you can show kids nobody is born evil and we all need support systems and healthy relationships to grow and become better people??#THAT would've been a GOOD FOLLOW THROUGH#But no instead u just write him out of the show and never show any OTHER mermen who were exiled being welcomed back#Like u had Ondina becoming a teacher... Why not have Zac become a teacher for all the new mermen who were just recently welcomed back??

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now
#latimers parents not mine!!!! i am NOT moving back to florida LOL#really hope that the changes will be good for my mental health. this apartment is toxic to us#ive been on the verge of meltdowns Kind Of A Lot lately. imnot doing great#extremely dependent on substances. just to reach a baseline level of functioning. but even that isnt working as much anymore#the only things i do on my phone or tablet these days is like. 2 mobile games. and skirting past my dms to check latimers blog#its too overwhelming to even open discord these days yknow. everything on earth is too much for me right meow#i havent been drawing i havent been social online OR irl i havent been cooking or creating#i havent been keeping up with personal hygiene like at all im particularly ashamed about that one#i've been really bad about doing my T the past few months which is a HUGE shame because im SO fucking hyped to be on it#theres just. too many obstacles in getting it done half the time. and the other half of the time i just forget#anyway. anyway.#our lease ends in july so between now and then we're just gonna try our best to tolerate our living situation enough to get by#there's a light at the end of the tunnel. and its called 'i only have to be in charge of like 2 rooms at most. and not a household!'#we're gonna try to slowly comb through all our things between now and then so the process of moving wont suck as bad#cuz listen. its pretty fucking bad right now#maybe not for other people. but it is for me. and its okay to let myself come to terms with that#im just. so relieved. still very stressed! but theres at least light at the end of the tunnel and its only like 2 months away#ill be able to draw guilt-free again. ill be able to just EXIST guilt-free#i dont think ive felt guilt-free for just existing the way i do since like. turning 20#i know my mom wouldve loved if i stayed home forever. and im sad i cant be there for her#but ever since i had a fight with my dad at 15 or 16 it just really felt like he didnt want me there more and more#maybe as the youngest he was resenting that i was preventing him from becoming an empty nester or something. i dont know#because all the other kids had been moved out and on their own at least once but i had never left home before#i dont know if he'd be heartbroken or not to hear that i feeling like he was resenting me. but thats the energy i was picking up for years#i dunno. i dont know#anyway. back to housing. for now im going to try to relax and store energy for the moving process#the huge pile of things by the kitchen? i dont have to worry about that becoming permanent because we're leaving in 2 months#the general discord of the state of our possessions? we have to go through everything to pack it all anyway. we can move in RIGHT this time#when we moved in here we didnt have a car or license so we were dependent on latimers 3-hr-drive-away parents to help us move#just /across town/. and we had a whole month between leases! but it still had to be done in a weekend

i feel like a part of my soul has been ripped from my chest and i dont know why.
#is this a bad time to mention i dont even believe in souls?#i really dk why.#no this isnt abt jiro somehow apparently having a loving family#(ok like. at least 1/4 of it is BUT STILL. NOT THE POINT)#(part of me feels awkward abt it bc just. huh? youre telling me. this guy. that i basically am the irl version of. has a loving family???)#(/j and all but just. idk part of me feels awkward now? it just. a guy who blew himself up for most of the same ideals i have)#(gets to have the one thing i yearn so very hard for. everyday of my life. but can never have.)#(ill get over this in like. 2 hours. hopefully. most of thats just shock anyways.)#just. for the past some days. besides a couple things and people. hurt and love havent really. made me feel much of anything#like being cared for by actual ppl even online. yeah. it still does but#even my fantasies donât entertain me anymore#oh god am i becoming lopt. save me fuck#UNLESS this means i get mason as my bf. then hell fucking yeah (kidding kidding kIDDINGG i dont wanna be lopt. please.)#but srsly. usually i can envoke some sorta reaction from myself if its brutal enough#but. nothing.#id assume that im over doing it usually. but i havent in a good while#maybe this is some what where my art/writers block is coming from#whatever this hell is.#time to go on a spiral of mildly depressing and somewhat cryptic posts (cryptic if i didnt info dump in the tags that is)#why is it so hard to confront issues when you dont even know what the issue is?#i just. wanna be able to make myself feel something.#not in a âi have no one but myselfâ way for once. just. i dont wanna have to rely on others for my emotions#i want to feel a pang of hurt. yet it feels so empty. i dont want to harm myself. i just want to feel it.#anyways ig.#ig im gonna just sleep#which tbh im growing to hate bc like. i feel all i do is sleep. i sleep to avoid how much my own body hurts. i sleep to ignore my issues#i sleep to ignore the fact i keep forgetting to respond to people even though ik i have to at some point. i sleep to avoid the dread of not#getting anything done. i sleep just because im bored.#and im tired of sleeping.#but. it feels worse awake. my body hurts. my mind hurts. it all just hurts.

god my swapfell is becoming so depressing actually. nobody is where they're supposed to be and everybody feels out of place and unfulfilled because of it. alphys is the captain of the royal guard not out of any genuine ambition for helping monsters or serving the crown but because that's the only way she can fund her tech. undyne is knowledgeable with science but not very passionate about it and was made the royal scientist anyway as essentially a prison sentence. sans has no interest in being a guard at all, but stays in it because it would be too much work to find something else to do and he's been coasting along for so much of his life already that he doesn't even know what else he could do. papyrus is extremely lonely but with everything as bleak as it is can't see any point in trying to change that, so instead he just internalizes everything and grows increasingly bitter and anxious about it as he gets more and more withdrawn. asgore was exiled after declaring war and lives in regret as he blames himself for the current state of the underground as monsters cling to his declaration for hope, even while toriel refuses to uphold it. toriel is disgusted by the kingdom's bloodlust and isolates herself as a result, hardly leaving the castle and letting the underground degrade ever further into hopelessness and despair as a form of justice
its like a fucking tim burton adaptation
#the kids are [REDACTED]#i still havent figured it out lmao that part is genuinely so so weird. aaauugh#i Did have a thought of swapping chara with asriel and just leaving frisk/monster kid alone#so that it would be chara inside the temmie plush since in-game Serious Tem's speaking pattern is a liiill similar to chara's already#i'm pretty sad to lose all the flower symbolism from ut but there isn't rlly another alternative aside from giving flowey a new personality#which is possible sure & already done by swapping him with tem village of all things but. fuckin boring lmao#at least with plush tem u can see the logic of fused souls > turn to dust > tradition of dust spread over favorite things > dusty toys#itss also really funny bc it implies undyne saw a dead kid's favorite toy and decided to put life goo in it#she's just pissed at toriel giving her this weird assignment so she's like fuck it sure why not#there is no reason for me to be doing all this worldbuilding btw. i will never write swapfell in enough depth for it to matter.#and yet. it constantly plagues me#and now it's the dark and gritty and fucked up undertale au rated for middle schoolers who say swear words and adults who like south park

Ehehehe the NYC dollcon exclusive is a tiefling doll, and he's available in pink!
That means discount Shakespeare Mercutio bjd *will* be happening! He'll be a smaller scale than everyone else, but I guess that's ok given I impulsively ended up going 1/3 for Vanora and Faolan >< also then maybe he can chill on my desk with me sometimes. Not sure how I'll manage his hair since he has an undercut but that's a problem for future future me xD current me is just excited tiefling won that poll lol
#quill's bjd adventures#happy birthday to meeee#i still need to get bodies for vanora and faolan >< but the con exclusive preorder doesnt end until end of October#and i have the option to make a deposit and pay the rest in person#i could also just grt the head and then order a separate body since the resin is resinssoul colors#and they have the digitigrade ming body so he could have hoofies :3#dde also has a listing for hoofed feet for logandolls bodies though and they're pretty#but the ming body is cheaper....#also did more work on dollbei jun's earmods of soom this weekend and im calling it quits#they're not perfect and there's still some marks that i cant seem to sand out. but i give up#if i try to get them perfect they're never going to be done and tbh the only reason i havent fully given up#and just listed them for sale is because i don't think he'd sell well with the dyeing and mods#but I'm close to being frustrated enough by it to just do that anyway so better stop while I'm ahead#they'll be somewhat hidden by the wig anyway#and i can probably hide other flaws with jewelry or something

have to send 2 packages today and pick one up and then i wanna draw... the sooner i get that done the better but i have to wait a while now before i can go. but im also getting a headache oughhhh whys the weather like it is
#i was getting rly into the painting yesterday#and i cant wait to finish it#but i was doing it as like. cooldown after workin on the animatic cause that is just merging togethet for me#every frame looks the same and im getting the proportions all wrong so i had to do something else or else id explode#i got like 31 pages done and i counted 45 before but theres def not just 45#now i have like 4 similar ones then 3 from a wider pov then at least 4 variants of one panel and then at least 3 more for part2 of that#and thats not even all theres a 3 frame part over some music and thats already over 45 and i havent even sketched out the actual final part#should have done it before this because now im just leaving it for the last but i dont know what to go for there. just gonna wing it#i could tie it to the previous chorus frames and make it similar or i could play with the variations from a couple lines back or work with#the 3 frame part which is gonna be in a different setting and stuff. nobody knows what im talking about and thats ok#i havent even listened to the song much now and i already had enough so when im gonna be editing it i will try to go strictly by timestamps#then have a couple final listens and then never touch it ever again#some frames i really like but the ones that are over the chorus i really dislike cause theyre closeups but not close enough like i wanted#hard to work with such simple characters on a bigger scale because theres no detail#also why i went with painting them. just under though i couldnt handle coloring over the lines even though it would help it greatly#whats blud waffling about#also ig its more of a storyboard animation but i just dont wanna call it either. i think animatic is an extremely broad term now#theres ones that are legit just storyboards and then theres ones that i wouldnt dare call animatic#like calling mona lisa a sketch. especially when its mostly animated#i cant do all that. mines gonna be just a powerpoint presentation#but its also not like a storyboard cause im fully painting the frames lol

#truly i have too modes. so fucking busy i cant breathe. cant think without a muddled lag. feeling motion sick as i walk#a path ive walked a thousand times over. or not busy enough. without thr pressure i revert to a liquid state and spill across the floor#i cant seem to do anything. at least when im busy i cant feel how miserable i am. at least for a little while bc i have to focus#idk how to find a balance. it always seems to be all or nothing. outside my control but directed by my control#ugh. after the month ive had the misery's caught up with me. also i havent been sleeping enough#i felt horrible all day in the lab ans i was like. i mean maybe its low bloodsugar? but then when i went home i felt 1000 times better#which is. ya kno understandable but not great#idk i can just feel the anger leaking out from under my skin. ive made the system unlivable. now im suffocating on the echo of pain#and i feel bad bc it must b all over my face. bitterness simmering in my words#i met with my boss today for a delayed meeting of a delayed meeting and showed her some preliminary data. she was excited and asked what i#felt abt it. and i dont feel anything abt it. nothing. i dont care i dont care i dont care i dont fucking care#set my datasheets on fire. burn them to ash. i wouldnt feel anything#and im sure some of that sentiment came thru bc she later texted me to reiterate how cool the data is bc no ones done a study this#extensive ans i dont kno how to reply bc again i dont care. theres no breathing enthusiasm back. that dim light has been extinguished. i#look forward to never having to think abt it again.#whatever the more pressing issue is that i cant get my brain to function enough to save me from the other problems i have boiling over#just me sabotaging potential future happiness from where i sit unhappily in the present#annoying. ugh i need to sleep.#unrelated

honestly i thought that joining a writing group would hold me accountable to deadlines and motivate me to write more but instead im so constantly stressed i can barely sleep
#dellete#this is .#not a real world problem. im aware of that#criticism isn't the problem; criticism makes things better I'm surr#*sure#im just so tired.... i feel like every young aspiring novelist has half a book cranked out already while im still structuring workshopping#havent written a chronological set of chapters because i keep going back to the drawing board#im never doing enough and i know in part this is affected by the relentless depressive episodes#which im not managing well either#im just - fuuck! fuck! i need to achieve something! i need to achieve something good and#prove that im worthy#i have the ideas and the ... themes and the arcs to make something good here i think but it needs to be impeccably structured#and im wasting time and im never going to make it but i need to prove im good for something#and its difficult i just cant do enough. i just cant do enough even though i do fuck all with my life and i cant outrun the old anxiety#that it needs to be done ASAP because i might not have much time left#im stressed? im stressed and tired and i feel mocked and. and these arent even real world problems like jobs and bills and shit#im barely interacting with the world as it were and its so terrifying to me#its so disappointing. whatever

this is partially a critique on my part but even more of a critique on other online leftists' part since i notice a complete lack of attempts at putting oneself in others shoes- it shouldn't quite literally take learning you have x minority ethnicity in you to have sympathy and understanding for them.
#i started understanding native people more when even the possibility of me having ntv american in me was presented to me#heres an idea: ACTUALLY TRY TO VISUALIZE WHAT SHIT WOULD BE LIKE IF YOU WERE IN STEAD OF DOING NOTHING#yes. yes. you will 'never fully comprehend' blah blah blah but im sure you've had enough experiences being treated lesser than#to be able to put yourself in other peoples shoes long enough to understand the complex ways of how shit negatively effects people#pretend that you are jewish (in your brain not irl if you're not. this is a thought exercise.) and now tell me what you think should#happen to jewish ppl in israel. and wait- i mean ACTUALLY think about it. dont shit out the most buzzwordsy shit you can think of#to make yourself feel and Look Cool to your followers. basically im asking you to do method acting here. i want you to go THAT far#to understand bc its apparently what needs to be done for you to understand.#bc if you're actually doing this thought exercise and you're actually educated on why theres jewish ppl in israel to begin with#(hint: they were forced out of other countries) you're not going to then be like 'yeah its fine to kill all jewish ppl in israel' you just#WONT come to that conclusion if you're being honest.#also i bet plenty a yall havent even gotten dna tests so far all you know you COULD have ashkenazi in you!#so you need to internalize that and try to act the way you think someone put in that situation would act to understand better.#also obviously all the while listening to jewish people while you're at it.

bagged a trial shift at a new pub just for my manager to immediately put on facebook if anyone wants an extra shift on wednesday. he knows what im doing
#he said GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE RN#lmfaoooo the notif came through literally as i put the phone down i was like đłđłđł#like that 'CONNOR' tiktok audio like no king im not doing anythinggg haha wdym#anyway im a bit annoyed that the first place to get back to me from my applications was this one#bc im pretty sure their pay is still minimum wage and also my cousin worked a trial shift there once#and not only did they not pay him but they also never called him back or even emailed to politely turn him down#literally just used him for free labour and that was that#word of warning from a very tired waitress if ur thinking about starting: always take trial shifts with a pinch of salt#if the trial shift is longer than 2 hours they really really should be paying you and if they dont the odds are you got mugged off#also the woman on the phone after i said i worked at the place i currently work at was like 'and do you still work there?' SHE KNOWS#and when i said yes she was like 'would you be willing to leave?' HOW CAN I BE TWO-TIMING BOTH OF YOU RN#LYING TO ONE JOB ABOUT SEEKING ANOTHER JOB LYING TO THE NEW JOB ABOUT LEAVING THE OLD ONE COME ON NOW#IM NOT BUILT FOR THESE LAYERS#but yeah summary here is i have a shift at my actual place on wednesday (thank god i havent had work in over a fucking WEEK)#and i have a trial shift at a new place where i'll most likely be offered a job. life is picking up#ALSO i have enough money to change my america flights bc basically something came up with that and i need to change my return flight#and i was originally rlly worried bc the change cost was ÂŁ161 and that piled onto my current no-shifts stress was Not Fun#but ive been working a lot for my mum and i got paid for the shifts i HAVE done and it all kinda fell together anyway#the way everything is sorting itself today within the same HOUR yet ive been stressing about these things for days now#hella goes home#hella slaves to capitalism
