Striking Vipers Show || Wren, Chanel, Gabrielle, Chase, Jesse, Jonah, Juliette, Stevie, Rose, Marina, Olivia

The gang hangs out at a venue in town for a Striking Vipers (Wren, Stevie, Rose) set.

@chrysolites @gabriellehale @jessekxller @kalidoscpe

Group at the Table

Wren: Wren was sitting with Chanel at the venue before their set, "I'm really glad you came" said Wren with a smile. He was so happy that she would come to see him preform, it made him feel like she was really his girlfriend. They were doing so much together these days, it felt like dating. She just didn't like him like that, and it hurt. But he was happy regardless because she was there.

Chanel: Chanel smiled at Wren, "Of course I came! I love seeing you perform." she said truthfully. She always came to practices and shows, but this was the first time she's gone to see him perform since their fight during homecoming. "Maybe one day you can teach me how to play." she wiggled her eyebrows. "Or I could be the Manny Santos of the band and just look pretty as I play a tambourine."

Gabrielle: Gabrielle held on to Chase's hand as they walked in. "So is this like a group thing?" She questioned as she was a bit nervous. She was proud of herself for going out in public for once.

Wren: Wren smiled, "I think you'd look pretty playing any instrument" he replied before they were interrupted by Chase and Gabrielle.

Chase: "Yeah of course it's a group thing babe" said Chase, "But I promise it'll just be us later" he added as they walked up to Chanel and Wren's table. "Hey guys" said Chase with a friendly smile. "Mind if we interrupt?" he asked, knowing that they were hopefully starting something. Gabrielle: "Well, i'd hope it would be just us later." She said giving him a nudge. Gabrielle held onto Chases are and angled her body to be mostly hidden behind hers. She just felt more protected by him. She offered a friendly smile to the others. Chanel: Chanel smiled as Wren spoke before jumping a bit as she heard Chase's voice. "Uh, nope. You're good." she looked at Chase and Gabrielle with a friendly smile, feeling pretty bad that she hadn't spoken to him for so long. "How are you?" she asked Chase. Stupid question, but she didn't know what else to say. Chase: Chase pulled up a chair for him and one for Gabrielle and pushed her chair in for her before sitting down and putting his hand on her knee, "I'm good" said Chase to his best friend, "Things are rough, but we're dealing. Wren said you two have been hanging a lot, so sorry I haven't called" Chase replied. Gabrielle: Gabrielle sat down in the chair, she knew there was a chance of seeing his friends, but she didn't expect Chanel to be there, let alone so close. Gabrielle looked over at chas and held his hand but didn't say anything

Jesse: Jesse showed up with Liv and engaged in a conversation that will be the result of a thread and then joined the group. "Hey guys! Whats up?"

Chanel: Chanel nodded at Chase, "Yeah, he's been the best. Sorry I haven't called you either." she said with a sad smile. She didn't even know what to say to Gabrielle, it just felt too awkward.

Jonah: Then Jonah came up with Juliette with a smile on his face, "Hey, can't wait to see you guys perform." he said to Wren and Stevie. Wren: "Thanks man" said Wren putting out his fist for a fist bump to Jonah, things had definitely been better recently but it was still a little awkward. "I'm gonna go get a pitcher" said the boy getting up to use his fake ID and get them some beer. The place was pretty relaxed, so it wasn't too hard. Wren returned with a stack of cups and two pitchers of beer with the help of a fellow high schooler who was working at the place.

Chase: Chase pulled Gabrielle into his lap to make room for all the people arriving, he also just wanted her in his lap. He put a hand on her lower back and continued making conversation with Chanel, "We can hangout soon, I want to hear about ... ya know" he said with a smirk, referring to Wren as the other boy appeared back with beer. Gabrielle: Gabrielle willing slid over into chases lap. She felt like she was asserting her dominice of belonging to chase. Gabrielle looked over at Wren when Chase suggested there was something going on. Gabrielle went to make a comment, but held back because she was trying to play nice Chanel: Chanel eyes widened when Chase spoke, hitting his arm slightly. "There's nothing to talk about." she said just cause she didn't want Wren think she was into him... even though she was... but ya know. "We'll talk later." she leaned towards Chase and whispered. "We can have a fun night together. I'll bring some wine." she said with a smile. Chase: "Just us and a double bottle of moscato baby" said Chase laughing quietly to Chanel, his hand still on Gabrielle's back as he leaned over to talk to Chanel. Gabrielle: GAbrielle raised her brows at Chanels words about having a wine night. "Sounds super fun." She said but as called her baby Gabrielle stood up. "I have to use the bathroom" She said picking up her purse and walking to the bathroom.

- click here for bathroom thread - Chanel: Chanel raised a brow at Gabrielle as the girl spoke. She looked over at Chase and frowned, "Sorry... Did I say something wrong?" she asked, leaning back in her seat. She really didn't want to have any kind of problems, this was Wren's night. But the moment she saw Juliette follow Gabrielle, she rolled her eyes. Chase: "That's on me. I think I can get away with shit because she was sitting in my lap. But she stays jealous" said Chase running his hand through his hair. How did he continuously fuck up like this.

Rose: "Hellooooo" said Rose as she arrived in her cute little outfit, "Have you guys seen Caleb yet?" she asked. Chanel: "Do you want me to like, apologize to her or whatever?" Chanel asked, but she really didn't want to go to the bathroom with both girls in there. "I don't want to give you guys any problems." Stevie looked around to see if Caleb was here, "I haven't seen him yet, he's probably on his way. I'll let you know if he's here." she tried to smile at Rose. Chase: "No, I think that might make things worse. I don't think it's our relationship. It's just her issues" said Chase, "We've been good recently. It's just ... she forgets how I am sometimes with the cheer girls until she sees it in person" he added. Chase felt guilty, but he had seen Juliette follow her, and assumed Juliette would help her chill out. Rose: Rose touched her necklace, "He has hockey practice, but he should be here soon. This is his first time coming and seeing me perform" said the girl nervously. It felt so good to be back with him, she was just blinded by how much she liked how Caleb made her feel, and how it felt to be with him. She was definitely going to give tonight her all. Chanel: Chanel didn't think it was about the cheer girls, she thought it was just her that was the problem but she didn't say it. "Right. I'm glad you two have been good recently though." she tried to smile. "I know how whipped you are for her. I think we all do." Wren: "Chase? Whipped?" said Wren with a laugh, "couldn't be me" he said even though he was whipped himself. Stevie: Stevie nodded her head slowly and looked over at Marina who came with Rose. The two girls gave each other a look. They were on the same wavelength. "Those practices can always run late. He'll be here." she said with a forced smile. "You're gonna do great."

Chanel: "Couldn't be you? You seem like you'd be a total simp." Chanel laughed, nudging Wren softly. "You were talking to some girl that was across the country." she said, a little bitterly. "I'd say that's pretty whipped. But maybe I'm just not good with long distance shit."

Rose: Rose touched her necklace and smiled at the people around her, "He's probably so excited and running over here right now" she replied, smiling down at the ground now. She thought about texting him, but she didn't want to be needy. Wren: "Fair enough" said Wren with a smile to Chanel, "but I told you, I'm not into her like that anymore" he clarified. "I've got my eye on someone else anyways" said Wren, hoping for his moment to tell Chanel, but this was not the place or time.

Stevie: "Yeeeeaaah." Stevie said slowly. Marina looked over at Rose before rolling her eyes. She had a feeling that boy needed another beatdown. "While you wait, you want something to drink?" Stevie asked. Chanel: "Right, I almost forgot." Chanel tried to act casual but she obviously did not forget, it's all she thought about. "You gonna make a move soon? I'm sure she's so into you, who wouldn't be? I'd love to meet her some day." she lied. Chanel wasn't sure how she'd act if she saw him with some other girl. Rose: "Oooh yeah" said Rose as she poured herself a glass of beer and one for Stevie and Marina. "He's taking me on a trip tomorrow, tres romantique" she said excitedly. She just couldn't shut the fuck up about him. Rose knew she was annoying people, but she couldn't help it. "Anywayyyyys, I am so stoked for this performance" she said as she took a sip of beer. Wren: Wren wanted to roll his eyes at that comment, because she didn't want to be with him. That's who. He hoped her seeing him perform would change her mind a little, but he knew it was a lost cause. "Soon enough" he said, trying to think of who at school he could possibly fake a crush on until it felt real. Stevie: Stevie and Marina grabbed their glasses and took a sip from it. "That's cool... I'm sure you'll both have a great time together." Stevie said, confused as to why he wasn't already here. Surely he would want to come to his girlfriend's show. This was all definitely sus.

Marina: "You're gonna do great, Rosie. I'm really excited for the first song, it was my favorite." Marina said with a big smile.

Gabrielle: Gabrielle nodded. "Right. Mark my territory. Be confident." She said "Okay, lets do this, lets go back out there." She said as she took her hand and led her too the table. She walked with power, gave a hair flip. She figured Chase would cave. She dropped her hand and took her spot back on chases lap. "Chanel, poor be a beer?"

Juliette: Juliette heard Gabrielle ask Chanel to pour her a beer a little too confidently, "I think I made a mistake" said Juliette in a whisper to Stevie.

Chanel: "Soon. Fun. Can't wait." Chanel was getting irritated with this conversation with Wren and it was starting to show. She narrowed her eyes at Gabrielle as she ask to pour her a beer. "Excuse me? You have arms, use them." she said with a little bit of attitude. Stevie: Stevie looked over at Juliette and back at the others at the table, "Is everything okay?" she whispered.

Juliette: "I think I caused this on accident" whispered Juliette back in reference to Chanel and Gabrielle. Gabrielle: Gabrielle smiled softly. She stood up and walked over and took the pitcher that was in front of the girl and poured a cup and sat back down. "Thanks for the reminder." Stevie: Stevie smiled at Juliette, "On accident? You sure?" she teased the girl. "You could be honest with me." Juliette: Juliette gave her a look, "... how dare you" said Juliette laughing quietly, "I thought she was just going to kiss him or send him a flirty text or something. I didn't think she was gonna come back here and demand Chanel be a wench" said the girl with a doe eyed look on her face. Stevie: Stevie started laughing at Juliette's choice of words, "If they break out into a fight, I guess we'll have to blame you for it." she said just to mess with the girl. "I didn't know you were like this, Hastings. A real eye opener." Juliette: "Wow Summers, I see you're a drama fiend" said Juliette squinting at the other girl. Chanel: Chanel was frustrated in every way possible at this point. If she popped off on Gabrielle, she'd ruin the night for everyone so she simply rolled her eyes and kept quiet. Gabrielle: Gabrielle took a drink from the beer, she always hated beer but it was what was provided. "So Chase" She said turning so she could look at him. "What kind of music do these play?" Stevie: "Hey, I'm just chillin." Stevie placed her hands behind her head while she leaned back in her seat. "Are you going to be a bad influence on me?" she looked around the table to make sure no one peeped before winking at Juliette. Chase: Chase smiled at Gabrielle, his head empty. He just kind of shut everything out when the girls did this. Same routine, new location. Was it his fault? Yes. Did he care? Not too much. Chase put his hand on her lower back, "It's kind of a mix" said the boy with a smile, "but it won't go too late. Then we can spend some one on one time together" he added in. He knew group settings weren't really her speed, but he knew that it was good for her to be with people even if she didn't like it. Gabrielle: Gabrielle nodded. "Interesting." She said with small smile. Though, she wasn't very interested in his, she didn't think it would be such a group activity. "I'd like that, hopefully its not to late." She wanted to be able to put gene to bed but knew the chances weren't likely. "What do you want to do later?" Chase: Chase put his hand on her outer thigh and went to whisper in her ear, "You" said Chase with a smirk on his face. Gabrielle: Gabrielle blushed a bit. She was a bit nervous but that was hot, it send shivers down her spin. "meet me in the bathroom in 2 minutes?" Chase: Chase's eyes widened and he just nodded quickly.

Juliette: Juliette saw the interaction, "Okay whew they're good. They're definitely leaving to go hook up" said the girl before turning back to Stevie. "Okay, if anyone is a bad influence it's you" teased Juliette biting her lip a little. Gabrielle: Gabrielle got up from his lap silently and walked over to the bathroom Chase: Chase followed quickly.

Jesse: Jesse looked up as they walked away. "So.... Do yall think they are fighting it out or fucking it out?" Stevie: Stevie sat back up and laughed, "Me? You're crazy. I'm an absolute angel." she said to Juliette with a big smile on her face. She looked over at Jesse and nodded her head, "Fucking it out, for sure. I think Chase might enjoy if they were fighting though."

Jesse: "I think Chase enjoys any attention she gives him." He said with a laugh. "I think they are fighting it out. Anyone want to put money on it?"

Wren: "She's turned him down recently" said Wren in reference to what they knew from the group chat, "So I say fighting" Rose: "Guys I just talked to the manager, we need to head backstage" said Rose coming back to the group. She looked around again for Caleb, but he would be here soon enough. Rosemary waved for the others to come join her and they headed backstage. - Rose, Stevie, and Wren leave - Jesse: Jesse smiled as ose said they had to go back stage. "Good luck guys!" Juliette: "Oooooh, they're gonna be on!" said Juliette to Olivia, she was so excited to see Stevie perform. It was painfully obvious how happy Juliette was to be here with Stevie, even though she thought she was being nonchalant about it all. Olivia: olivia looked at juliette, and honestly, she was so grateful that jesse had managed to get her to go. she was having fun, and she definitely needed that right now. the band was about to get on and she looked over at how excited juliette was. it was adorable "you are adorable, juliette. come on, let's try and get closer to the stage!" Juliette: "Do you want beer?" she asked, pouring herself a tiny little cup from the pitchers Wren had gotten. Juliette smiled at the other girl, trying to contain her excitement, "then we will totally go up!" she said smiling at her friend. Jesse: Jesse smiled, Olivia looked happy to be here which meant he did a good job. "Yeah, go up. I'll be here when you get back."

Olivia: olivia nodded and smiled, " i'd love something to drink, " she said and looked at jesse, but then realized that she was driving. " but i'm driving, so probably shouldn't. " she looked at juliette who smiled and seemed excited about getting closer to the stage. the blonde looked at jesse, who told her to go up an how he'd be there when she got back. " okay, come on, " olivia said, taking juliette's hand and pushing her way through the crowd of people. In the pit Juliette: Juliette laughed, "I can't drive well so no one here lets me drive" said Juliette, thankful that she didn't have to get behind the wheel. She really was the worst, because gays can't drive and that's just science. Juliette held Olivia's hand as they pushed through the crowd, "They're all so talented, I am so excited!!" said Juliette just beaming thinking about seeing Stevie on stage again. Olivia: olivia giggled excitedly and looked at juliette. " are you excited for some particular reason? " she asked curiously and smiled at the other girl. " because, i mean... there are some pretty faces up there, " she said and bit her bottom lip, before she wrapped an arm around juliette, squeezing it softly. " you look great, by the way. she's gonna die when sees you, " she spoke into juliette's ear. it was pretty obvious who she was excited to see. Juliette: Juliette went into a gay panic, "Ummmm" said Juliette thinking of ways to play it off. "She? I don't know what you're talking about" the girl added in. She was kind of done for, but her secret. How many people were going to figure it out? Olivia: " hey, you don't have to worry. i'm not going to tell anyone, " she said and smiled as she looked at juliette. " you're still the same sweet and amazing juliette. besides, " olivia turned to look at the stage, " i get where you coming from. she's hot, " she said and turned to look at juliette again with a wide grin on her lips. Juliette: Juliette was in shock for a second, "Am I that obvious? Because Stevie thought I was straight for like ... well always" said Juliette, swallowing hard for a second. "Don't I like ... seem straight?" she questioned. Juliette's mind was filling with questions.

Olivia: "well, the way you look at her, you know, it just kind of gives it away. that and i'm pretty good at seeing when someone likes another person," she said and shrugged. then when she asked if she didn't seem straight, olivia looked at her. "hey, there's nothing wrong with liking girls. fuck that. fuck people who say it is. love is love, you know.."

Juliette: "I mean I don't have any problem with .. it" said Juliette, she was still grappling with admitting it out loud. "My parents are ... well they're something. They care about town reputation like a little too much, and they're pretty catholic" she replied. "But who knows, Stevie is something different, just look at her play!" said Juliette fangirling a little as she watched the other girl play bass on stage. Olivia: nodding her head, olivia could understand where juliette was coming with. " i get that, but you know, your happiness is important here. not what they think or whatever. if stevie makes you happy, then i say go for it and fuck what your parents think or say." olivia looked at her as she fangirled over stevie who was on the stage, playing the bass perfectly. it was cute, the way she looked at the girl on the stage. Juliette: "I'm not trying make things difficult at home" said Juliette, she had a lot of things to think about. The affair was already making things hard enough, like being in the house. She just stared at Stevie and wondered how long she would be able to keep her around until it became too painful for Stevie to be quiet about it all.

Olivia: olivia looked at juliette, nodding her head. she felt bad for her friend, that her parents would make her feel that way. " i'm sorry to hear that. but, you shouldn't have to hide who you are. because, you're a beautiful person. "

Juliette: "I'm okay with it" said Juliette honestly, she didn't mind hiding it until she was out of the house. Whether or not Stevie would be okay with it was another whole deal. "I just hope she is" said the brunette, tucking her hair behind her ear as she stared up at the stage.

Olivia: "well," olivia said and looked at stevie, then over at juliette. "i'm sure is. you're worth waiting for," she said and nodded, giving her a quick wink before moving along with the song that was played on stage.

Juliette: Juliette started dancing with Olivia, just having a good time with the girlies. Gabrielle and Chase came to join them because they should be done by now.

Olivia: olivia giggled and smiled softly at juliette, before turning her head around and looking at gabrielle and chase who joined them. she kept jumping up and down excitedly as the music continues to play and she brushed her hair away from her face. breathing heavily, she leaned forward and spoke into juliette's ear. " i'm gonna get something to drink. do you want anything? " she asked before pulling her head back and looking at her friend.

Juliette: "totally, but small for me please" said Juliette, she didn't want to go crazy. Stevie had seen enough of her like that. She was having such a good time dancing and enjoying the music.

Olivia: olivia smiled softly and nodded as she looked over at gabrielle and chase, before starting to push her way through the crowd of people, heading for the bar where she could get them drinks. once she arrived at the bar, she leaned forward and ordered juliette something and asked for a coke for herself, as she had been the one who had been driving.

Olivia: Grabbing the drinks, Olivia made her way back over to where Juliette, chase and Gabrielle was. She handed her friend her drink and smiled, before focusing on the hand that was playing. In the corner of her eye, she had noticed Jesse sitting down with Jonah - and she hoped he was doing okay, after everything with Devyn. “Hey do you think Jonah is okay?” She asked out loudly, for either of the three to respond.

Gabrielle: Gabrielle looked over at Liv as she spoke and then at the table with the boys. "He looks fine to me? BUt I don't know him all that well."

Juliette: "I've been really wrapped up in everything" said Juliette looking to the ground, "I mean he seems fine enough at school?" she felt awful about how they would spend time together but never talk. They just liked sitting in the same room together.

Gabrielle: Gabrielle looked at Juliette, "Its just been a really crazy time. We have all been wrapped up in something." She pointed out. "I'm sure he is okay though, Jesse would have said if he wasn't right?"

Olivia: Olivia nodded and bit her bottom lip. “Yeah, I’m sure you guys are right. I just.. the whole situation was pretty messed up.”

Time passed, Olivia and Chase hungout outside and Caleb arrived during the set to see Rose perform.

Poetry Anthology for Stevie || Juliette

My Downtown Sasquatch,

I have collected a series of poems that make me think of you, and therefore make me smile. As much as I care for you, I haven’t always been the great with saying words that show my affection so here are other people’s words, I am more fond of them than my own. On the sides of these pages is a collection of doodles and drawings that I think illustrate our time together, and how much it means to me. You are the best secret that I never want to keep to myself, and I thank you every day for choosing to be with me. I know I sound like a tired old English Professor, so forgive me, and I will shut up now.

Yours with Love,

Perchance To Dream

“I always have such need to merely talk to you. Even when I have nothing to talk about – with you I just seem to go right ahead and sort of invent it. I invent it for you. Because I never seem to run out of tenderness for you and because I need to feel you near. Excuse the bad writing and excuse the emotional overflow. What I mean to say, perhaps, is that, in a way, I am never empty of you; not for a moment, an instant, a single second.”

— Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Vita Sackville-West

Our First Messages

perchancetodream: hey, i like your username! I loveeee degrassi, you have immaculate taste <3

downtownsasquatch: hey, thanks! another person with taste in this forum haha i just read hamlet for my english class, you into shakespeare?

“No human being has ever stood so close to my soul as you stand,”

— James Joyce, from a letter to Nora Barnacle written c. August 1904

My Favorite Messages

perchancetodream: I’m in love with you

downtownsasquatch: I love you too

Wild nights - Wild nights! Were I with thee Wild nights should be Our luxury!

— Emily Dickinson, Wild Nights

[ooc: for context there would be a lot more pages, but I did not want to overload people]

Twisted Tuesday || Olivia, Gabrielle, Marina, Juliette, Stevie, Wren, Chase, Jonah, Chanel

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: da club // 26th of january.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: olivia x gabrielle x marina x juliette x stevie x wren x chase x jonah x chanel ( @kleidoscpe @gabriellehale @chrysolites ).

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒: underage drinking and a crying juliette

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: the girls make plans to go out to the club to make olivia feel better about her breakup. cue kisses with random guys and lots of drinks, but when two girls can’t handle their drinks and decide to make a big life change, the boys come in to rescue the girls from the club, much to the chagrin of one’s girlfriend. secrets are spilled and chaos ensues and it is all culminated with wren and chanel’s first i love you.

olivia was excited about getting dressed up and hitting the clubs with the other girls. she needed to not think about jesse for a bit and she needed to just have some fun with friends. and, she needed to just give him space and she needed to remind herself that he wanted out. he wanted them to break up. olivia finished the wine bottle that she had brought with her for the ride and when the uber pulled up outside of the club they were hitting up first, olivia gave the driver a nice chunk of cash before climbing out of the vehicle and brushing her hands over her dress, before looking around for her friends. when she saw gabrielle, she called out for her, " gabbie, " before she ran over to where the girl was. " hey. wow, you look bomb. even better in real life and that says a lot because you looked breathtaking.”

Gabrielle was a bit nervous about going out without Chase. It might have just been her anxiety acting up as she fought every impulse in her brain telling her not to go. She didn't like being away from Gene but she just kept telling herself the boys got it, they can take care of her. Gabrielle got ready and took an Uber to the meeting place, she got out with a smile. "Livvy, hey, You look fantastic too." She said with a smile. Marina was pretty excited to go out with the girls. Ever since she’s been back in town, all she wanted to do was party and let loose. But she also had to remind herself that things were going good with Antonio. She couldn’t mess that up. Maybe she’d cave and text him to come, but as for now, she wanted to focus on the girls. Once she got out of her Uber she walked over to Olivia and Gabrielle, “You guys look amazing! This is gonna be so fun. We definitely deserve a nice break like this.”

Stevie would have came with Juliette, but her girlfriend said she wanted to surprise her with the outfit she was wearing. She knew the other girls could get a little wild, but Stevie was here for the ride. “Hey guys, thanks for inviting me. Looking amazing, as usual.” she said with a smile.

Juliette had gone to her brothers room to see if he has any wine. He did not. He gave her two double shots of tequila. He agreed to drop her off as a repayment for her driving him and Lexi a month ago. “Ladies” said Juliette showing up in a black body suit and a short leather skirt and she was already giggly. She put her arm around Stevie’s waist, “Hello beautiful” she whispered into Stevie’s ear before she hiccuped. Juliette put her hands back on her own waist, “everyone proud of the outfit? I think i suit the dress code” she said with a smile as she spun around once. olivia turned around and the grin on her lips widened s she looked over at stevie, to see her reaction. a giggle fell from her lips as she put an arm around stevie's waist. " wow, look at you ms. hastings, you look incredible, " she said and whistled before a laugh fell from the girl's mouth as she watched their friend spin. " you did amazing, juliette. we are proud of you. now, " she said and clapped her hands together. the girls looked bomb – " ready to go inside and cause some havoc? " she asked and wiggled her brows before she started to walk towards the entrance of the club, her stride was confident. olivia was used to this. before she met jesse, she had partied a lot and she also knew how to flirt her way in. she had done it since she was 16. Gabrielle'a jaw dropped when she saw Juliette. "Even better in person." She said with a smile as she tossed a wink at Juliette. "Yes, lets get inside." She said with a smile. Gabrielle had done this quite often during her party phase when she would piss her parents off. Since then she had calmed down a lot, thanks to Genevieve. Gabrielle talked to the bouncer with a smile and handed over her ID before getting into the club, waiting for the others to follow. Before heading towards the bouncer, Marina popped a pill and took her fake ID out. She gave the bouncer a sweet smile and handed them the ID before walking into the club. Stevie raised her brows at Juliette, she couldn’t hide the smile that was growing on her face. “Beautiful? Me? The beautiful one here is you. You look amazing.” she whispered back. It was so hard to hide the relationship she had with Juliette, especially with her looking like that. Sure her friends knew about it, but she was still the mayor’s daughter. Everyone knew her. She handed her girlfriend the fake ID she got for her before showing hers to the bouncer, “This one’s for you.” she said before walking in. “You guys wanna get some drinks first?” Juliette showed her ID at the door, "Miss Hastings ... or should I say Miss Henderson" said the bouncer and Juliette looked up at him with big sad eyes. "Tell your brother he owes me" the bouncer said with a nod. Juliette felt like she finally caught her breath as she followed Stevie in. "That was so scary, I never want to do that ever again" said Juliette as she met back up with the girls. "Drinks please" she replied as they all headed towards the bar. "What are we thinking?" Juliette asked with a small hiccup. olivia stood on the inside of the club, looking at her friends and when the bouncer stopped juliette, she bit her bottom lip. she was ready to jump the bouncer, if she needed to. when she got in, and the girls were all reunited, olivia leaned over to juliette and spoke loudly, " i would have gladly flashed him to get you in, you know, " she said and laughed, obviously teasing her a little bit before they headed towards the bar. olivia pulled out her card and turned to look at the girls. " okay, drinks on me. as a thank you, for being amazing and incredible friends. " turning to look at the bartender, " give these ladies whatever they want and put it on this, " she said, holding the card up, " and we want five shots too, pretty please,. " she said and batted her lashes at the man. Gabrielle watched as Juliette got stopped. "And that is why you should invest in a real fake ID with your real name on it." Gabrielle said with a laugh. "But see, you got in anyway because bouncers really don't care." She added in. "Flashing would not have been necessary, I could have slipped him a bill or two." Gabrielle added in. Gabrielle followed Olivia and the others to the bar as they got drinks. Marina smiled at the two girls once they met up with them, “Juliette having a fake ID is probably hard in general since the whole town knows who she is.” she said with a laugh. “But I guess you’ll have to thank Montag for this one. Who would’ve thought?” Marina took hold of her shot and clinked her glass with the girls before downing the shot.

“Sorry, that’s on me. I thought your name was too obvious so I tried Henderson. It’s a nice last name.” she said with a smile. Stevie took her shot with the rest of them and looked over at Juliette, “You want something else or are you taking it slow? I know how much of a lightweight you are.” she teased the girl, nudging her side gently.

Juliette nodded, "Yeah, I think that guy has bounced a fundraiser at our house" said the girl with a sigh. "But yeah, thanking Montag who would have thought he would help me out tonight" replied the girl as they did shots together. "No it was cute, I like that name" said Juliette putting her hand on the other girl's shoulder. "I can do something else, I'm doing okay" she said, up to the challenge. She didn't want to seem like such a dork in front of all of them. "But sugary, I think that's smart. Something that covers up the alcohol taste" the girl said with a nod and a smile. "Once we're done up here, dancing right?" she asked Olivia with a huge smile on her face. She wanted her friend to have a really good night.

olivia giggled softly. juliette was adorable, honestly. once we're done up here, dancing, right? nodding her head, the blonde pushed her hair away from her face. " oh yeah, definitely! " she said and took the shot glass, throwing the content back before she turned to look at the bartender. " hey, handsome, " olivia said and flashed a bright smile at him. " wanna give us another one? " she asked and giggled, and it didn't take much before she got the glasses filled. " thank you darling, " she said as she winked at him. turning to look at the girls, she held up the shot glass and said, " here's to a girl's night we'll never forget! " she said and then winked at juliette, making sure only she could see it. " lets find somewhere to sit and then go dance. " Gabrielle smiled as she threw back her first shot and waited for the second. She looked around at the club full of people, guys and girls, and it made her a bit nervous. She knew once she got a bit more drunk, she would feel a bit better. She took the second shot and threw it back with a smile. "Yes, lets go dance." She said with a nodd. Marina noticed the expression on Gabrielle's face as the girl looked around the club. She wasn't aware that Gabrielle got nervous in such crowded places, but she placed her hand on her shoulder and gave her a friendly smile. "If you ever need to take a breather or go to the bathroom, let me know. I know I need breaks every now and then." she said, trying to reassure the girl.

"Yes to dancing!" Stevie handed Juliette the second glass as Olivia got more for the group. She took the second drink and waited until Juliette was finished as well. "There's an empty spot right over there." she pointed out. As they were all walking over to go get a spot to sit, Stevie leaned closer to Juliette, "I can't believe I have to keep my hands to myself when you look this good. What a tease." she whispered in the girl's ear.

Juliette braved up and took the second shot, "I don't think I should have a glass of anything anymore" she said quietly to Stevie. She giggled when Olivia winked at her, "Rinaaaaaa" the girl called out, "And Brielllllllllleeee" she was just so happy and she put her arms around the two and smiled. "I am just soooo happy we're all here to celebrate Livvyyyyyy" she said with a small woooo coming out of her mouth. She was just like her mother. When they headed over to the table to sit for a moment, Stevie got close to Juliette and the girl immediately blushed, "First of all, I want you to know just in case. There are six shots of alcohol in my body right now" she said touching her own nose and then touching Stevies, "scientifically, I should be dead. But I'm not. I'm a fighter and it's girls night!" she slurred with a happy expression on her face. "Third of all" Juliette added, loosing track of her talking points, "people have to go to the bathroom more when they're drunk, so we could go to the bathroom and not go to the bathroom as many times as you'd like" she said with a less than innocent smile as the two sat down with the rest of the girls. olivia giggled at how happy juliette seemed. i am just soooo happy we're all here to celebrate livvyyyy she shook her head. " celebrate me? " she said and looked at her friend. " what are we celebrating? " she questioned curiously. when they headed over to the table, olivia looked at the two of them and smiled at how cute juliette and stevie were. shaking her head, olivia sat down at the table, leaning her forearms against the table in front of her when the bartender came over and gave them the drinks they had ordered. " i can't believe we haven't done this before now. " Gabrielle let out a little laugh seeing Juliette. "Someones fucked up already." She said with a wide smile. "We are celebrating your singleness!" Gabrielle said with a smile. "You are a free woman, now lets go get you a hottie to take home tonight." Gabrielle said with a laugh. "I know. Its so much fun." Marina giggled as she saw Juliette call out to the girls and put her arms around her. She missed hanging out with Juliette. They had grown apart for a bit, but she was glad they were reconnecting, and now Marina had gotten to know Olivia and Gabrielle better. It felt good. "Tonight is about you. I already see a couple cuties nearby." she said as she was scanning the club for cute girls and guys.

Stevie took another drink as the bartender came around, the alcohol was slowly starting to kick in. "Do not tempt me with a good time, Hastings." she said with a small smirk. "Once everyone's doing their own thing, we could sneak off for a bit. I'm sure no one will notice." Stevie would take any opportunity to get some alone time with Juliette. "We deserve some fun too." "Uh no you're fucked up already" joked Juliette, she knew she was the drunk one but it was still fun. "And yeah Livvy! Celebrating that you're single and can kiss as many boys as you'd like tonight!!" she encouraged. She was on team get back together, but Olivia deserved to have some fun first. Once they were sitting, Juliette put her hand on Stevie's thigh, "I would agree, let's go" she said faking getting up before sitting back down, "This night is all about Olivia, not about my gay agenda" she said quietly to Stevie. "Are we ready to dance?" she asked the group, she wasn't having another drink so she was ready to go. olivia turned around and looked at the people in the club, her eyes looking at a cute brunette in the corner. she smiled at him then a laugh fell from her lips. she shook her head and turned to look at the girls. it felt wrong, to look at other guys but she was single and jesse didn't want her anymore. she should be able to flirt with guys. are we ready to dance? " yes, " she said, clapping her hands together excitedly before taking a sip of the drink. she got up again, swinging slightly but making sure to not fall over. she sat down and bit her bottom lip, as the next couple of words that fell from her lips, weren't what she had expected, " do you think jesse has hooked up with someone? " olivia looked at her friends and bit her bottom lip. " i know i said i wouldn't talk about him, i just... it kind of feels a little wrong. " she then shook her head and sighed, " i'm... i'm sorry, let's dance, " she said and put a smile on her lips again as she grabbed gabrielle's hand and marina, before pulling them towards the dance floor. Gabrielle looked at Olivia. "Does it matter if he has? You are single now. He gave you up. It shouldn't feel wrong." Gabrielle said looking at Olivia. She personally didn't know, but she also didn't think it mattered. "Like I said earlier, You are free." She added in as the moved to the dance floor. Marina smiled as Olivia took everyone to the dance floor. "There's nothing wrong about it. You could do whatever you want, have some fun, girl! This is your night. Plus, it never hurts to make him a little jealous." she winked at Olivia. She wasn't the best influence, but she thought Olivia deserved a fun night. Stevie looked over at Olivia and sighed. If she was completely sober, Stevie wouldn't say it, but she was feeling a little rebellious right now. "Um, actually... He may have... already hooked up with someone else." she said awkwardly. She turned over to Juliette, "Sorry, I never got to tell you. I wasn't sure when I should tell anyone, but Jesse has royally pissed me off." she shrugged carelessly. "It's that cheerleader, Savvy." "Oh my god! Men are the absolute worst! That is such garbage" said Juliette in a drunk stupor. She was so annoyed by that, Jesse had the most amazing girl ever (Stevie not included) and he just ... dropped her? Out of no where? "You SHOULD make out with someone!" she said confidently, "Can someone tell me which boys are cute? Like cute enough to make out with? Lets get them over here" she added addressing the girl as they all started to dance. olivia nodded her head at what gabrielle said. " yeah. no, you're right. it shouldn't matter. i mean, i'm single. he's single. he's allowed to do whatever he wants, " olivia said and nodded, giving the girl who had spoken a soft mile. she looked at marina who said that she should do whatever she wanted and it never hurt to make him a little jealous. a soft laugh fell from olivia's lips as they went to the dance floor. but then, the next words caused olivia to stumble a little. " oh. " olivia blinked and looked at stevie, before swallowing against the lump in her throat. she had to admit, it had hurt, but at the same time, he hadn't really done anything wrong. " savvy.. the petite brunette? " olivia asked, her voice soft. " i've seen her around. she's pretty, " she said and nodded, before sinking her teeth into her bottom lip. " no, no, he's not. not really. i mean, he didn't do anything wrong. we're both single, you know? he's... he's allowed to hook up with whoever, " she said as she could feel the walls around her heart begin to re-build. as the girls started to dance, olivia decided that she didn't want this to ruin the rest of the night. " let's not talk about jesse anymore. this is about us, having fun. i'll deal with the whole jesse thing tomorrow, " she spoke softly as the music turned to a more upbeat one. Gabrielle jaw dropped as Stevie dropped the news. "Ouch, was not expecting that one." She mumbled. "Yeah, It doesn't matter Liv, You are both single and free to do what you want. Now you don't have to weird or guilty about it." Gabrielle said trying to keep it positive. Maybe that was the drama chase was talking about in the guy group the other day. Weren't Jesse and Stevie close? why would she expose him so hard? Gabrielle knew the group has a whole was going through a lot and she saw how it affected Chase. "Forget Jesse. Have about you go get a taste of him." Gabrielle said pointed to a hot guy on the dance floor. Marina looked at Stevie with wide eyes, she didn't expect that to come out of her mouth. She wasn't exactly one to start any potential drama, but maybe it was just the alcohol taking over. Marina didn't exactly know how bad the drama was in the other groupchat. "We're gonna find you the hottest guy here." she looked over at Olivia with a sad smile.

Stevie felt pretty bad telling Olivia about it, but maybe it would help her move on. She knew this could potentially bite her in the ass, but maybe it wouldn't. Stevie didn't care right now. She looked over at the boy Gabrielle pointed out and nodded, "Yeah, he looks... attractive." she said as more of a question. "Any guys in school you find attractive? I could always trying hooking you up with them." Juliette was livid about the whole thing, how dare he hook up with someone. But she put the rage away and was supportive of her friend, "yeah someone you can tote around school who can carry your books and stuff" Juliette said as she tried to be helpful. Juliette moved her hand to interlock her fingers with Stevie's for comfort. "Yeah, Stevie knows all the boys. There's got to be a guy around school who would drop everything for you" she added. Olivia made a mental note to talk to stevie, to tell her work things out with Jesse because she hated knowing that they weren’t on talking terms. Listening to what the others were saying, she hummed and looked over at the guy in question. “ he’s cute. “ but nothing like Jesse, she thought. When Juliette said that stevie had to know someone at school, she shook her head. “ I’m good. Honestly. “ taking a deep breath, she then went over to the guy they had talked about and introduced herself. A couple of minutes later, she leaned in and pressed her lips against his. Pulling back, she thanked him and went back over to where the girls were. “ now, let’s dance?” It was weird. Olivia hasn’t kissed anyone but Jesse the last couple of months. It felt wrong. But, Olivia needed to move on. Besides, Jesse didn’t want her and he most likely wouldn’t care if she kissed someone. She couldn’t help but wonder if he thought about her? Even the tiniest bit. Though, she wouldn’t be able to sleep with anyone. Not yet anyway. Gabrielle listened to the conversation progress. Once Olivia walked away to talk to the guy she turned and looked at the other girls. "So..." She trailed of awkwardly. She knew tonight was supposed to be fun, but she just felt a ot of tension, but it was mostly in her head. "shit be crazy" She said with a soft smile. Once Olivia got back Gabrielle smiled and nodded. "Yeah sounds good." Marina downed her drink before she got on the dance floor with the girls. From the pill she took earlier to all the drinks she took, Marina was pretty out of it. She danced to the music with a big smile on her face for a while, before taking her phone out. Marina suddenly had the urge to text Antonio. She was feeling great and her confidence was booming, so she thought he'd appreciate it. Stevie danced with Juliette for a bit before wrapping her arm around the girl's waist to pull her in close, "Bathroom time?" she whispered in her ear. She couldn't wait any longer, she wanted Juliette now. "I just need you all to myself." While Olivia was off smooching that guy, Juliette couldn’t help but things were awkward. She worried there was something she didn’t know about, and she wondered if Stevie actually wanted Olivia and Jesse together... but then her thoughts were distracted by Stevie’s hand on her waist, being pulled in close. She giggled and nodded when Stevie said bathroom time, “as you wishhh” she said drunkenly as the two scurried off to the bathroom, “we’ll be back in like 5, I gotta pee!!” she called out to the group. Olivia was having a lot of fun. And she took both Gabrielle and marinas hand out on the dance floor, dancing along with the music playing. Honestly, this was just what she needed. A night out with her friends. For a split second, she forgot about the heartache and Jesse and EVERYTHING else. Gabrielle put a smile on as she went out on the dance floor. She danced with the girls, periodically checking her phone for the half hour updates from Gino she forced him to do. She also periodically checked twitter while anxiously waiting for Gino's texts. She saw shit was going down but felt it was better not mentioned. - GROUP TEXT -

Wren and Chanel got into the car, he knew he was upsetting her. "I promise I'll make it up to you" he promised as he put his hand on her upper thigh, moving it under her skirt a little. "You don't even have to touch me, I'll do everything" said the boy as he deleted texts with his other hand and passed her the phone. "But you are on phone duty" he said reluctantly as he started the old family mini van. His truck didn't have enough seats. Wren leaned over and kissed her, "You're the best girlfriend of all time" he said as he gave her thigh a squeeze. Chanel had her arms crossed over her chest, pouting her lips like a little brat. She thought they were have a great night... but now Wren had to pick up a bunch of girls? One of them being Juliette Hastings? Chanel would've swatted her boyfriend's hand away, but she liked the attention too much. "Mhm." she hummed as she grabbed his phone. "Why did you have to pick them up? Couldn't Chase do this? Or like, anyone else in that groupchat of yours?" she asked, in a whiny tone. Chanel kissed Wren back and held back a smile, "I really am. I'm like, the absolute best. Just so you know, I'm only letting this slide because it's you." "Baby, I'm the one with a minivan in the garage" he said as he moved his hand up her skirt more, "I promise that there's plenty in it for you. But please dear god, no rumor mill on this?" he asked with earnest eyes. "I swear I am going to spend the next month making it up to you in sexual favors alone" said the boy moving his hand up to her cheek as they kissed. Wren put the car into drive, "So ... long story short your worst enemy is closeted, like severely. She's dating Stevie, and she's trying to come out to her parents tonight because she's very in love and very very drunk. I'm not gonna let her fuck over her living situation over it. Even Montag is closeted at home, and he might be the biggest bottom we've ever witnessed" Wren explained as he pulled up to the Hale's house and Chase popped in. "You've told her?" Chase asked as he buckled up, "Yeah it's a whole thing" he said as he looked over to Chanel. "Don't worry, Wren's just on pick up and carry. I'm on night time care, so you two can get back to bed noise" he said with a proud smile, "proud of the 10 second nut king putting himself back out there" he said with a smirk. "CHASE" said Wren as he pulled out of the driveway. Chanel looked over at Wren and noticed the expression on his face, she of course wasn't going to break his trust by blabbing her mouth to the rest of town. "Okay? I promise, I won't say anything." she said truthfully. As she listened to Wren's whole story, her mouth was completely dropped. She tried her best to avoid the Hastings, but she was completely caught off guard with all this information. Of course she knew Montag wasn't straight, but everyone knew about that whole relationship with Lexi and Kiran. "Oh... my god. Oh my god, what the fuck? Seriously? Like Stevie Summers? Striking vipers Stevie? They're in love? I cannot believe I've been missing out on this." she said with wide eyes. "Okay wow. I get it, I won't say anything. It's not like I wanna talk to her parents anyways. So the secret is safe with me." Chanel looked over at Chase once he got in the car, nodding her head as he asked if she knew about everything. "CHASE OH MY GOD!" she reached over and hit his arm. "That's not funny. It's like, really traumatic, okay?" she whispered to her best friend. "Okay, so you're picking up Jonah & Jesse?" she asked. "Or is Jesse a no?" she asked. Wren had been pretty stressed about his groups drama lately so she didn't know if Jesse was coming along, especially with Olivia being at the club. "It's really cute" said Wren with a small smile. The boy just loved love, it made him so happy to see people happy and in love, especially because he was so in love with The Chanel Hampton that it was stupid. "You are the best, Chanel Hampton. That's why I l-like you so much" said Wren, stumbling over the words. Before he knew it Chase was in the car making fun of how he nut early. "Chase mind your own fucking business or I am going to start bullying you at school for shits and giggles" Wren threatened playfully. "Fair enuf" replied Chase with a laugh, it was way too funny to make fun of the quick nut. Wren gritted his teeth when Chanel asked about Jesse, "Just Jonah" he replied quickly, not adding anything else. "Do not get me started on that, I'll get heated" Chase added before also shutting up. Wren pulled into Jonah's driveway and clicked open the sliding door. Chanel was glad that Stevie was at least happy, and if this somehow took Juliette's mind off of everything that goes down in her family, Chanel was pretty cool with it too. She knew being with Wren helped her a lot, maybe it was the same with Juliette. She looked over at Wren with raised brows, a small smile forming on her face. She thought he was going to say it, but he didn't. She had been too scared to tell him, but she had been feeling ready to tell him he loved her since the day they got together. Crazy, but maybe that's what happens when you have a crush on someone for the majority of your life. "I like you too, babe." she nodded and looked out the window awkwardly. "At least I'm down to dress up for sex." she told Chase as she immaturely stuck out her tongue. That was not something she really discussed with Wren, but she was down to clown. "Right... Got it. No talk of the other brother." she said, referring to Jesse. Once his friends arrived, Jonah got into the car, looking like a wreck. This was such a stressful night, and he had a test tomorrow in chemistry. He could not believe this. "I have brought water for everyone. Stay hydrated, please. This has been a very stressful night for us all." he got into the car and let out a sigh. "Oh, hi Chanel. Do you... know?" he asked. "Hey." Chanel gave the boy a small smile. "That Juliette's gay and in love? Yes." she nodded once. "Ahh. Just perfect." Jonah couldn't imagine how Juliette was going to feel in the morning. "We have the address to this club, right?"

"That's a low blow, we had a full on fight the other night because she basically told me I'm an Olivia and she's a Jesse like I took a buzzfeed quiz, and thennnnn she told me she won't dress up to fuck" said Chase shaking his head, "This week has been a fucking shit show". Once Jonah got in the car, he looked like shit. "Dude are you okay?" asked Chase as the car pulled out of the driveway. "Hey it's a fair trade for her not waking up the Hastings at this hour and getting potentially kicked out or sent to boarding school" said Wren, his Nana had seen Montag around town and talked about the family at dinner one time. It sounded pretty bad, and through what Stevie had said .. he was nervous for the two. "Chanel has the location pulled up that Stevie sent" said the boy, "it's one tab over" he instructed. Before they knew it, they were outside the club. "I’m just on edge right now." Chanel said with a pout, the girl just wanted sex. Jonah then looked over at Chase and shook his head. "I'm gonna be honest, no." he shook his head at Chase. "All this shit with Jesse happened on twitter, and now he's mad at me, but now he's also Jordan. Then this happened. Just a little too much for my anxious brain to take in." Jonah nodded in agreement with Wren, "Yeah I know, but her initial reaction won't be great. N-No offense, Chanel. You're great. But... you know. Juliette's just..." Chanel rolled her eyes, "You don't have to explain, I'm very aware of how she feels about me." Once they got to the club, Chanel walked up to the bouncer and showed her fake ID. She wasn't sure if everyone else had one so she simply batted her eyelashes and smiled sweetly at the bouncer. "They're cool, right?" she pointed to the boys, before the bouncer let them all through. "Wow, thank you so much." she said before dropping the act and walking in. "Alrighty, they can't be too hard to find. Stevie's tall, just look for her." Wren gave her a pouty face in return, he knew this is not what she wanted. Chase put a hand on Jonah’s shoulder, “don’t worry once we get them all home safe you can get some sleep, your brother is going to be okay. I promise” said the boy. He didn’t understand the severity of the situation at all, but he had seen some alarming tweets. They got into the club with ease, Wren not only looked older but he had a fake as well. Chases fake looked horrible, and he was very glad Chanel was here. Gabrielle said she got the girls together, but they were a little all over the place. “Livvy!” said Wren, “you all ready to get home?” He asked. After the last post in Instagram, Olivia’s phone had died so she made sure to stay around the girls. It also meant she hadn’t seen the drama with Jesse online. Turning her head around, she smiled softly as wren approached her. “ wreeeeen hey!” Olivia was drunk but in a good mood. Well, as good as one could be. She hugged him tightly. “I’m ready to gooooo.” Gabrielle tried wrangling up the girls but they were all so drunk and kept moving or running away. She took an exhale as some guy came up to her and put his hands on her hips from behind. Gabrielle spun around and stepped back but this man wouldn't leave her alone. She pushed him away again just as she spotted Chase. Marina was having a great time but she hadn't noticed that some guy was being touchy with Gabrielle. If she did, she wouldn't have hesitated to swing at him. Sometimes she got extra violent when she had this much alcohol in her. Once she saw the group walk up to them, she opened her arms out, "How long have you guys been here? Come dance with us!" Stevie was dancing with Juliette, looking like two fools. Two happy fools, but fools nonetheless. "I'm so in love with you Juliette, I just want everyone to know." she said, showering the girl in quick kisses. "I'm so fucking lucky to be with you, you're the best girlfriend ever." Chase saw a guy bothering Gabrielle as he quickly bee lined for her, "Hey baby" he said as he shoved the other guy away and pulled her in for a deep kiss, his tongue moving into her mouth. He just wanted the other guy to know that she was his girl. Wren smiled, he was glad she wanted to head out. He was worried he was going to have to convince a bunch of drunk girls into his car. "What's the estimated time it will take to get the two love birds into the car? You think they'll be ready to leave?" he asked Olivia as he looked over to see the absolute shit show that was PDA. Juliette giggled when Stevie was peppering her faces with kisses, "I love you so much it's stupid" said Juliette with another giggle leaving her lips. "I can't wait to tell everybody ever" said the girl as she pulled Stevie in for a kiss. "Hey love birds, time to head out" said Wren interrupting.

Olivia shook her head, laughing softly at wrens question. “ honestly I have no idea. It’s nice though, to see them so happy. They deserve it.” Olivia smiled and looked at wren, giving him a gentle bump of the shoulder. “ you too, you know. It’s nice to see you smiling,” she said, slurring the words slightly.

“Babe!” She said as she threw her arms around him and engaged in a passionate kiss. The dude walked off angry. She pulled away from him. “God I missed you,” she said pressing another kiss to his lips. “You are all here? So we can leave now?” She asked, she was in a rush to get out of there. Stevie cupped the sides of Juliette's face as she kissed her back. She then turned her attention to Wren and put her arm around Juliette, "This is a huge day, man. This shit is gonna go down in history." she nodded her head, excited to leave the club. "I'm so fucking proud of her, it's finally the big day." she told her friend. "Let's go babe." "Yeah, I'm just worried about it. They're really drunk" said Wren to Olivia with a shrug. "You're cute, but you know who is not smiling? Chanel right now" Wren replied with a laugh as he saw her getting a drink from the bar. "We can go, but where is Marina?" said Chase as he looked around. He saw Jonah near her but Marina was still dancing up a storm. "Come on Rina" said Chase as he headed towards her, "It's time to go" Juliette stumbled out of the club with Stevie when she saw Chanel at the bar, "Fuck no" she said petulantly, letting a curse word fall from her lips. Juliette took off running down the street. "Fucking hell" said Wren as he chased after her, scooping her up and putting her over his shoulder. "NO!" she said angrily as she hit his back, "You're mean! Put me down! STEEEVIEEEEEE" she called out. " ooh gosh, poor chanel, " olivia said and laughed softly, shaking her head in the process. " but yes, we should*definitely get going, " she said and nodded as she started to walk in the direction of the door with wren.once they got outside, olivia's eyes widened at the commotion that juliette was making before she took off running down the street. Gabrielle followed chase around as the started to collect the group. “Do we have everyone? Can we go?” The former blond questioned. Jonah was trying to get Marina’s attention to tell her that they needed to leave, but she just wasn’t listening. Once she heard Chase’s voice, she pouted her lips, “Aww no, but Jonah and I are dancing.” she said as Jonah exhaled deeply. This was exhausting. Marina eventually gave in and went to the car with everyone else. Once Chanel had gotten inside the club, she ordered herself a drink from the bar and immediately went back to the car. She was on her phone, checking through all the twitter drama while she waited for everyone to come back. She then looked out the window to see Juliette running the opposite direction and Wren scooping her up, “What a hot mess.” she said to herself as she looked back at her phone. Once Wren came back with Juliette, Stevie shook her head. “Dude... Low blow.” she said, referring to the fact that he brought Chanel here. “It’s alright babe, I got you.” Wren put her down, "Okay Juliette, no running" said Wren as he returned her to Stevie, "I was about to have sex with her, I couldn't be like heyyyyyyy i gotta dip and you can't come" said the boy shaking his head. Wren got into the car and they all filed in, it was all a lot easier than expected. Thank god. Juliette crossed her arms and sat in the back, pouting. "So everybody have a good night?" asked Chase to the car full of people. olivia got into the car and she leaned against the seat, looking at wren and then over at the others as chase asked if everybody had a good night. " i did. it was definitely what i needed. and i found out that jesse hooked up with someone. so there's that. and, i kissed a guy, which was weird, it felt really wrong, but... " Gabrielle saw Chanel from a distace before they approached the car. "You brought Chanel here? Juliette is going to have a melt down." She informed chase. This is what she had been avoiding, Chanel and Juliette in the same place at the same time. She still hadn't told Juliette about her and Chanel's conversation. Gabrielle got in the car and moved to the back silently.

“Ohhhh I get, make sure not to bust on her face 20 seconds in.” Stevie patted Wren’s shoulder and looked over at Juliette, “Oh shit babe, I never told you about that.” she held back a laugh. She really seemed to have lost her filter. Once Olivia mentioned that Jesse hooked up with someone, Stevie raised her hands, “Sorry boys, that one’s on me. I thought she deserved to know. Cause fuck him. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with you kissing someone else, Olivia. Kiss as many people as you want.” she gave the girl a thumbs up before beginning to play with Juliette’s hair. Chanel looked over at Gabrielle with a small smile on her face as the girl got into the car, “Hey.” she said softly. All while Marina and Jonah were having a lovely little chat about Star Wars. Wren was a little sad to hear she had already kissed someone else, but Jesse had already fucked someone so it ... seemed well more than fair. "Good for you babe!" said Wren to be supportive and he smiled at her. "How many people in this car are going to talk about the ONE TIME that I nut fast?" said Wren as he started the car, "Because I am not afraid to drive us to the middle of no where and leave you all" he joked. Juliette saw Chanel smile and say hey to Gabrielle quietly. Juliette looked over to Stevie with tears in her eyes. "What is going on?" she whispered quietly, "I think they're friends" she said as a tear rolled down her cheek. Chase turned to the back and started talking about Star Wars with Marina and Jonah. "Jonah you saw the falcon right? Dude it's fucking sick" said Chase talking about his Christmas present. olivia looked at wren and gave him a weak smile. she could feel that he didn't think so, and honesty, olivia wished that she hadn't done it, mostly because she didn't want to ever kiss anyone else. " yeah, i guess so, " she mumbled and shrugged, before putting a wide smile on her lips. she had managed to perfect the fake smile. she giggled at what wren said and she reached out and ruffled his hair a little. " oh, come on. you know we all love you. "

Grabrielle flashed Chanel a quick and small smile before pulling out her phone and texting away. She wanted to not focus about the tension in tthe car between Juliette and Chanel and just tune everything out. Chanel’s smile faded as she furrowed her brows at Gabrielle. She thought she’d at least get a hi back since things seemed pretty good between them. But then she remembered Gabrielle’s friendship with Juliette. She rolled her eyes and leaned back in her seat. “Babe?” she raised a brow at Wren, acting as if she doesn’t throw the word babe out to everyone. “Hm, alright. Okay. Good to know.” Chanel nodded her head as she went back on her phone. She was so over this whole thing. Stevie leaned in as Juliette spoke, “You think so?” she asked looking back and forth between Gabrielle and Chanel. “Don’t cry, we’ll get to the bottom of it. She wouldn’t do that to you.” she shook her head as she wiped Juliette’s tears. Jonah nodded his head, “Of course I did, it’s incredible.” he said with a smile. Marina’s face lit up once the present was mentioned, “You really like it? I will happily make you one, Jonah. But for the right price!” she said with a single nod. “Have you been wearing the bracelet too?” "People love me but they won't let me live down the one time I nut fast" said Wren to Olivia with a laugh, it had become such a big joke between all of them at this point it felt like it hadn't even happened to him. "Sorry, not smart" said Wren to Chanel, realizing what he's done, "love you" he replied with a smile, then realizing he just said his first i love you to Chanel in front of an entire car full of people. "Chanel takes everything" said the girl very quietly all the way in the back seat, "But I've still got you" she added as she curled in closer to Stevie, "and everyone is gonna know, especially Saorise because she won't stop hitting me up" "Of course I have" said Chase with a laugh, "Ooooh, you two should come over and we can marathon Lord of the Rings" Chase added. It would be a fun day, "We can have themed snacks even, I fucking love themed snacks" olivia shrugged her shoulders, and she leaned against the seat, listening to people as they spoke. then, when wren said, " love you," to chanel, olivia looked at everyone before she looked at chanel. it was pretty obvious that it was the first time. she sank her teeth into her bottom lip softly; as her smile felt like it was going to explode. she kept quiet, waiting for what would happen next. Hearing the words 'i love you' Gabrielle was not fully paying attention, she opened her mouth to speak, thinking it was chase but she removed her eyes from her phone to realize it was Wren. She kept quiet and went back to her phone, looking st the baby monitors and spying on her fam. Chanel didn’t let the words fully settle in, she just heard Wren say I love you and naturally reacted, “I love you too.” she said with a smile. It took her a second to realize that it was the first time either one of them had said that while they’ve been dating. She froze up a little before slowly looking back at her phone. Stevie wasn’t focusing on Wren and Chanel, she was too busy listening to Juliette. “Saoirse?” she asked, kind of thrown off by the sudden mention of the girl. “Does she wanna fuck you too?” “Dude I love themes snacks. We have to do that.” Jonah agreed instantly. Marina nodded her head quickly, “Rosie and I have a bunch of good recipes! We love going all out for our movie marathons.” He gripped the steering wheel tighter when she said it back, he can't believe he blew the perfect words on this moment. Wren pulled up to Jonah's house first, "Thank you Jonah for the assistance, please get a good nights sleep okay bud" he said as he hit the button for the sliding door. Luckily it hadn't been too hard to get the girls into the car. "She keeps texting me, and I keep telling her that I'm straight" said Juliette before waving bye to Jonah. "Text me" she called out behind him. "It's a plan then" said Chase to the two of them before Jonah had to hop out of the car. "Marina and Liv, you two are welcome to sleep at the carriage house. Stevie and Juliette, it is required by law that you are not allowed anywhere near the Hastings estate" said the boy. "But I have to go home and tell my parents" said Juliette, drunkenly, "For a gay man you are very homophobic". olivia bit her bottom lip when chanel said she loved him back. " i'll sleep wherever someone wants me, to be honest. marina, wanna cuddle with me at the carriage house? " she asked and grinned widely, before shaking her head as she gave jonah a soft wave, feeling her heart ache as hey stopped outside of jonah and jesse's house. Gabrielle chimmed into the conversation. "Chase is not gay. I got the hickeys and scratch marks to prove it." She said, not removing her eyes from the phone. They also had a child as proof, but she wouldn't outright say that. "Later Jonah!" She said looking up to give him a wave goodbye. Once they got to his house, Jonah let out a small sigh. He was hoping his foster parents weren’t waiting at the door for him. He was already trying to cover for Sailor tonight, so him leaving too wasn’t the smartest idea. But he had to help Juliette. He nodded to Juliette once she said to text him, and waved to everyone else. “Bye guys, see you tomorrow. Hopefully.” “Yeah she’s very stubborn.” Stevie shook her head as she thought of Saoirse. “I can always talk to her. Tell her that your my girl and my girl only.” Marina had texted Antonio that she’d come over tonight but once Olivia suggested they cuddle, she sort of forgot about it in the moment. “I will never say no to cuddles.” she said with a smile. “Hold up, your house? No man, we’re going to Juliette’s house.” Stevie wagged her finger in front of Chase’s face. “Stick to the plan.” "We can just makeout by her locker and show her what's up" said Juliette with a little giggle, she liked being just Stevie's girl, and she wanted everyone to know it right now. Desperately. "You are actually sticking to our plan Steve" said Wren as he drove to the Hale house, "Juliette can talk to her parents when it isn't 1 am on a school night" he said as he shook his head, "But right now what is being offered is a bed, some bread probably, and a lot of water". olivia smiled softly at marina, nodding her head. " ahhh, it's a date, " she said and grinned, before leaning her head back and looking out of the window as they drove off, dropping jonah off Gabrielle waited for them to arrive at her house. “Fuck yeah we can. We can make out wherever we want now. We could do whatever the fuck we want.” Stevie couldn’t contain her excitement, she was so ready to show Juliette off to the entire world. After Wren spoke, Stevie furrowed her brows in confusion, “Are you taking us to some anti-gay jail or something?” Once they got to the Hale house, Marina hopped out the car, stumbling a bit before getting her balance back. Stevie also tried her best to get her and Juliette out the car. Once everyone was out of Wren's car he called out goodnight. "I really meant that, by the way" said Wren sitting in the driveway with Chanel. "Like meant it meant it" he added looking down at his lap, not sure if he wanted to see her reaction. "Whoa there little filly" said Chase in a southern accent, just because it was funny, "Need some help?" he asked Marina after he saw her stumble. "I want to go home" said Juliette with a sad face, but she was being taken out of the car. Then her drunk mind remembered Chase had a spare room, "wait hold up, if we go quick we can get that spare room" said Juliette, "I don't want to talk to my parents, I want to go to the bedroom" she said looking at Stevie with a big smile on her face, nodding her head a lot as she stumbled a little. "Bed, now, pleeeeeease" she said as she pressed her mouth against Stevie's. She dashed over to Gabrielle and Olivia, "I'm gonna have S-E-X" she spelled out to her friends, it was very loud and Stevie definitely heard, but as far as Juliette knew she was having a very nice private conversation with Gabrielle and Olivia. when juliette went over to her and gabrielle, olivia looked at the gabbie and then a juliette. i'm gonna have sex. " oh, are you now, " she said and chuckled softly. she had been loud enough, so stevie had definitely heard her. " are you sure you want your first time to be when you're drunk and most likely not gonna be able to remember anything tomorrow though? " Gabrielle got out of the car, happy to be home. As Juliette came over, Gabrielle let out a small laugh. "Just please not in Chases bed." She said. "Go, Go get it girl. Have fun." She turned to Olivia, "10$ she passes out the second she hits the bed." Chanel sat awkwardly in the car as everyone was getting out. She turned her attention to Wren as he began to explain. “I did too, really.” she said truthfully. “Like, I wasn’t just saying it because you said it. I do, love you.” she looked at him with a small smile. “Ah, is it time to get in character?” Marina giggled. “If so, a princess will always accept assistance from her favorite knight.” she said in British accent. Once Juliette mentioned a bedroom, Stevie completely forgot about going to the Hastings’ house. She kissed her girlfriend back deeply and nodded in response, “Then what are we waiting for? Bedroom, now!” Wren looked up to Chanel, "I love you" he said while he was looking at her this time, "I love you and I really mean it" said the boy as he reached out to hold her hand as they sat in the Hale driveway in a car that wasn't even really his. Wren leaned in to kiss her. Chase put his arm around Marina to put her in a small headlock, "Imposter!" he called out, "Wrong accent, you fail the test" he joked as he went to go unlock the carriage house for the girls. "There are lots of sweatshirts and things, go ham. I'm gonna go sleep at Gabrielle's" he announced as the girls filed in, "Help yourself to anything in the fridge". Juliette and Stevie quickly called dibs on the spare room. olivia waved at them and she smiled at marina, " well, girls' night, right? " she said and giggled softly as she walked over to the fridge. " do you wanna keep drinking or do you wanna sleep? " she asked and looked at marina curiously, as their friends had left the two alone. Gabrielle stood outside and waited for Chase. "Do you think they will be okay in there? Without a supervisor and everything?" She said as she reached out and took his hand. Chanel’s smile grew as she heard Wren say that he loved her. This wasn’t exactly the time or place she pictured this happening, but she felt loved by him, and that was the most important part. “We should probably head home, we have some things to take care of.” she said after leaning over to kiss him. Marina laughed as she tried to break free, “I shall never fail!” she announced before walking into the house. “Sounds good, goodnight you two.” she said with a smile. She then turned to Olivia and yawned, “My heart wants one more drink but my brain wants sleep.” she answered as she tugged on Olivia’s arm. “Tonight was fun, we gotta do it again.” "You mean I have things to take care of" said Wren remembering his promise from earlier, "Remember, no touching" he said after they kissed, "All about you".

Party Bust || Stevie, Juliette, Chase, and Gabrielle

tw: violence, drinking

Chase: Chase got into Stevie's car. "Thank you for getting me, I'm a mess. I can't drive. I've been tracking her location for hours and it says she's at home and I went up there and she left her phone" said the boy as he buckled up.

Stevie: "Dude don't mention it." Stevie pulled out of the Hale's driveway and looked over at him. "Do you know where this party is at? Maybe someone on twitter was talking about it."

Chase: "I have two possible addresses" said Chase sending them both to her over airdrop. "We're just going to have to try both" he replied. He was so stressed out, he ran his hands through his hair and looked out the window, "I mentioned how she should ease into what we used to do. Like I told her that I didn't want to just jump back into things. Do you think she's talking to someone at this party? Or do you think Juliette's getting more attention from guys? And Gabrielle is blowing them off? Because she loves me?" said the boy nervously.

Stevie: Stevie put in the first address into her phone and tried that one. She tried to keep her cool in front of Chase, but seeing him so stress was making her even more stressed. "No way, man. She loves you. There's no way-" she stopped herself as Chase brought up the possibility of Juliette getting attention from guys. It only freaked her out more. "She loves you. It'll be fine." she pulled up to the house. "Alright, let's go."

Chase: Chase hopped out of the car quickly, "Let's stick together. None of that Fred bullshit from the Mystery Gang" said the boy as they entered the party. It was loud, and the girls were no where to be found. Then he saw that blonde head of hair, and she had some guy flirting with her. "Um, you just go get both of them" said Chase, feeling like absolute shit. He should probably go over there and straighten that guy out.

Stevie: Stevie couldn't help but smile at his Fred comment. She stuck with Chase as they looked for the girls and looked over at her friend after seeing some dude flirting with Gabrielle. "Me? No way, man. You got this. That's your girl." she placed her hand on Chase's shoulder. "Make sure he knows that."

Chase: Chase was ready to rumble, she was fucking right. That was his girl. "Hey dipshit, piss off" said Chase walking up to the guy, he was only like half an inch shorter than him. He could take him for sure. "Nah, little man. This girl is wild, I'm convincing her to go out with me. Go simp somewhere else" said the other guy. Chase had had enough, between Griffin and all of this bullshit about other guys trying to date his girlfriend, he was done. Chase decked him in the face. "Fuck that hurt" he said holding his hand in his other hand. The guy came back to tackle him, and they fought on the ground -Chase getting the upperhand- before other guys at the party broke it up.

Gabrielle: GAbrielle was pretty white girl wasted. She was having a conversation with the guy but she really wasn't understanding his flirting efforts as she was on the boarder line of blacking out. Though the fight moved so fast in front of her so she didn't have tome to react much. Once the fight was broke up, she kicked the other guy in the shin. "Don't touch my boyfriend!" She shouted before slipping her hair over her shoulder

Stevie: Stevie smiled proudly at Chase but quickly panicked the moment the other guy tackled him. She tried to help as much as she could, but once Gabrielle came in to kick the guy in the shin, Stevie held out her hands to make sure the girl wouldn't lose balance. "Damn, you okay?" she asked as she helped Chase get up. "You were doing good." she said, referring to the fight, in hopes that it would boosts his confidence a bit. He deserved that.(edited)

Chase: Chase brushed himself off. "I think I kinda kicked his ass" he said, his hand hurting so bad. "Don't tell me otherwise, I don't need to know" Chase added with a laugh to Stevie. "Now Gabrielle, what the hell? Who was that?" said Chase, giving her a crazed look.

Juliette: "STEEEEEVIEEEEE" said Juliette running over to her, "Did you see that fight? That was crazy! I know that guy!" said the girl in a drunken stupor.

Gabrielle: GAbrielle shrugged. "I really wish I knew." She said with a laugh. "He kept just going on an on and on about his football trophies. Like yawn." She said as she threw her arms around Chase. "Thanks for making him shut up." She said with a smile. "Jules!"

Stevie: Stevie nodded her head, "Totally kicked ass." she said to Chase before her attention was drawn to Juliette. "Hey, yeah that shit was pretty wild." she asked with a small smile. She wasn't even sure if the girl wanted to see her at this point, but she was just glad she found Juliette. "You doing okay?"

Juliette: "Brielle! Stevie's here! And Chase!" she said with big excited eyes and a huge smile. She was so happy, and so very very drunk.

Chase: "Let's get the two of you home" said Chase, giving Gabrielle a kiss on the cheek. "And you are getting a lesson about how you're not letting other boys flirt with you when you help me ice my hand" said the boy to his girlfriend. There was no way that was happening tonight though, she was gonezo.

Gabrielle: "Right!" Gabi said looking at Juliette. "They came for us." She said excited to see them both. "Maybe later." Gabrielle said with a laugh as she held onto him. "Will you carry me." She added in, giving a puppy face.

Chase: Chase turned around so she could jump on his back, "Cmon" he said reluctantly, he was happy to have her safe and sound.

Stevie: Stevie noticed Chase carry Gabrielle, and what kind of person would Stevie be if she made Juliette walk? "Would you like to get carried too?" she asked, hoping the girl would say yes. No reason. Just trying to be nice.

Juliette: Juliette's eyes lit up, "ooooOooooh yes please" she said hopping on the girls back and giving her a big ole smooch on the cheek. "You're the best! I can't believe you've been at the party the whole time!" she said, stupidly.

Gabrielle: Gabrielle hopped onto Chases back, wrapping her legs around his waist and she rested her head on his shoulder. "What are we going to do now babe?"

Stevie: Stevie couldn't hold back her smile as Juliette kissed her cheek. "Crazy right? The universe just keeps putting us together." she teased her before walking out of the house. "Want me to drop you guys off first?" she asked Chase.

Chase: "Yeah, just the guest house parking area" said Chase, "Where you picked me up". He was ready to get this girl into bed and some pjs. Parenting never stops.

Juliette: "You guys came together?" said Juliette, trying to put it together, "Are you two friends?" she asked, "wait are you just here for us?"

Gabrielle: "Am I sleeping over?" Gabi questioned. She hoped he would say yes. "I didn't know you guys were friends." Gabrielle said as she held on tight to him, though, she didn't always listen about all of his friends

Stevie: "Yeah, we're pretty cool with each other." Stevie nodded, not realizing that either one of the girls knew her and Chase were friends. "We just wanted to make sure you both were okay." she answered Juliette as she got to Gabrielle and Chase's place.

Chase: "Yeah we've been friends pretty much all year, it's a group chat thing don't worry about it" said Chase, realizing he'd never mentioned it. "Alright babe, let's get you inside" said the boy opening up the car door for her.

i’ve been waiting for you || juliette and stevie

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: juliette’s dorm room // spring 2021.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: juliette x stevie.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒: none.

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: juliette and stevie rekindle their love.

Juliette quickly tidied up her side of the room and got the blankets out and started assembling a fort. She didn't want Stevie to have to do anything while she was here, just enjoy the fort and spend time with Juliette. Oh to spend time with Stevie, it was going to be so great. She got the snacks and her laptop. Everything was all set. All she needed was Stevie. Stevie Summers in her room. What a world to live in, to be Juliette Hastings in. It had been made apparent that things had cooled off between Stevie and Juniper, so if there was a time for a move ... today was the day. There were butterflies in her stomach. Juliette wondered if Stevie would even consider liking her again after everything they had been through. But for now, she could focus on just being her friend.

Stevie was feeling those nerves kick in again, just like before when she saw Juliette at Brindleton for the first time. It was a bit confusing, she couldn't deny how happy she was that Juliette was actually near her again, but the memory of losing her was constantly being brought to the surface. It crushed her. It wasn't until this semester that she was actually starting to accept everything and move on, but here she was, back in her life. It felt like a punch to the gut, having that constant reminder now. She tried to keep her mind off of it though, all she wanted was to have a nice time with Juliette. Stevie ended up getting them some smoothies, and luckily she had still remembered the girl's favorite order. After she knocked on the door and was let into the dorm room, Stevie looked at her with a warm smile. She missed her so much, just seeing her in person still felt unreal. "One smoothie for Juliette Hastings, I think I got the order right. If I didn't we can switch. No biggie."

Juliette looked up at the girl and flashed that Hastings smile, "Thanks Summers" she said as she took a sip. "Raspberry, you still got it" she said as she took another sip. She was so nervous, she was glad to have something to occupy her hands so she didn't talk with them too much. Juliette pulled the sheet back for Stevie, "after you" she said, curtseying a little. She was such a dork, in that moment Juliette really hated herself. Having Stevie in her room was so intimidating. She had no idea how she had permitted this to happen, but then again how could she not? How could she not be in the same room as Stevie at all times? Being around her was enough. Sometimes at night Juliette thought about how Stevie and her hadn't even hugged yet. She would think about how much she wanted just a simple hug. Then everything would be alright. "I'm not too shabby at fort building if I do say so myself" she said as she got in after her.

Stevie let out a sigh and placed her hand over her heart, as if she was received she got Juliette's order right, but there was no actual doubt in her mind. Of course she remembered, she always remembered small things about the people she cared for. Her parents always said the little details about people were the most special, so Stevie naturally picked up on those. Juliette had been, without a doubt, one of the people she cared for the most. She treasured every part of what made her Juliette. "Thank you very much." she said with a smile as she bowed a little at the girl. "No, this is great. Those wilderness skills of yours are really coming in handy." Stevie made herself comfortable in the fort and patted the space next to her for Juliette. "I should have brought my guitar. We could have put up on of those fire places on the screen and sing Kumbaya together." It was joke, but it made her think about the two actually singing together. What a dream. She missed hearing Juliette singing, it gave her goosebumps.

Juliette smiled when Stevie patted for her to sit next to her, her heart definitely skipped a beat. "I do love a fake fireplace" she said, laughing a little. A part of her wished Stevie did bring her guitar, "I mean I'm more into your original music, but Kumbaya works for me". Juliette took a sip of her smoothie and reached to grab the box of snacks and opened it up. "Take anything you'd like. My room is your room is Chanel's room" Juliette said as she opened up the oreos. It was definitely a comfort instinct, not that she was uncomfortable. If anything she was too comfortable around Stevie, which in turn made her mildly nervous. She didn't want to say the wrong thing or act the wrong way and things not go well. "If you want I can put on Reign or Degrassi?" she suggested. Just something they could talk over, they had both seen it all so many times before.

It was always nice to hear someone say that they liked Stevie's music, it was some of her most treasured work. But hearing the compliments from Juliette was something else. She had learned to not make her music for others, but to make it for herself. To just create what she wanted to create, but knowing that someone as special as Juliette liked it, meant the world to her. "Maybe we can arrange something, as long as I can hear you play the piano. You still play?" she asked. Stevie loved when Juliette used to send her videos of her playing the piano, of course her favorite being the cover she did of La Vie En Rose, she even put it in the album she made Juliette. That particular video meant a lot to her, it was the first time she had heard perchancetodream's voice. It was crazy to think back on those times and realize how much had happened in such a short time. How perfect her life seemed when they got together and how it all came crashing down in a matter of months. Sitting with Juliette and eating snacks felt like old times, but there was a sense of discomfort. Normally she'd snack away, but she almost felt hesitant to eat anything, as if she was going over a person's house for the first time. Stevie eventually picked out some chips as she thought about which show to play, "Let's go with Reign this time. For the feather scene of course."

Juliette smiled, she honestly hadn't played much music in her time in boarding school. But she had brought her keyboard to college this time, "it's stored in the closet, but yeah it's here. We can definitely play together soon" she said, hoping this would be the first of many times she would get to see Stevie before summer began. Being in school was just easier. Singing with Stevie made her think back on how anxious she was to send that video to her before they had met. Her heart was going a mile a minute in that moment. But it was all worth it for the times she got to hear Stevie sing. It made her think of that amazing spring break. How that was the last time she had been happy and with everyone she cared about, it made her feel stupid for hiding away when she got here. Too paranoid about looking crazy for transferring to Stevie's school, when she hadn't even known at all. How they could have been having days like this all the time ... but Juliette had stopped all of it. The thoughts made her sad, but she kept a soft smile on her face as she pulled up the first episode of Reign on her laptop. "I mean, I do live for the feather scene" she said with a laugh, "that and Mary getting reunited with her girls".

"Sweet." Stevie kept her cool composure, but she couldn't help but feel all giddy inside as Juliette agreed to them playing music together. Playing music together could be some real intense, intimate shit, especially if the person she was playing with was the girl sitting next to her. Music was the window to the soul, after all. Stevie knew she couldn't get ahead of herself though, she felt lucky enough that Juliette was hanging out with her at all. It wouldn't be surprising if she didn't want anything to do with her. Most times, Stevie would put the blame on herself for Juliette being sent to boarding school, and when she was especially harsh on herself, she'd convince herself that Juliette had resented Stevie because of it as well. It's not like the girl was just taken away from her, she was separated from all her friends and her family too. She was at least glad that Juliette was able to reconnect with everyone once again, and met someone while she was away. "Speaking of reuniting with the girls, have you? Gabrielle and Marina go here too, you seen them yet?"

Juliette blushed a little when Stevie said sweet, it just reminded her of old times. Being around her honestly made her blush. She smiled at the mention of her friends, "it has been so amazing to be back with them. Florence is amazing, but I forgot what it was like to be around Marina and Gabrielle ... and Jonah. To be understood like that in different ways. I always know who to go to to get the answer I want to hear" she said, rambling a little. She realized how bad that sounded, "that was the most Hastings answer to a question that has ever come out of my mouth. What on earth is wrong with me? Who am I? Amelia? God forbid" Juliette added, putting her hand over her mouth to stifle a laugh. "I promise I'm not some grand puppet master. I more meant that when I'm seeking specific kinds of comfort I know who has the best answers. Like Gabrielle wants to go out on the town. Jonah wants to stay in and not talk too much. Marina wants to stay in and talk about it and maybe do out on the town activities from the comfort of a dorm room. Florence wants to talk it out and distract me. Wow, I am rambling" she said, in a moment of lucidity amidst her monologue.

Stevie raised her brows at Juliette when she listened to the first part of her answer, but as the girl continued to ramble, a smile slowly formed. "Nah I get it, everyone's different so you get different experiences when you're with them." she nodded her head as she spoke. "Like when Jesse, Wren, Chase, Jonah, and I hang out together, it's fun. Then hanging out with them individually is a little different depending on the guy. Still fun, obviously. Same if I wanna spend some time with June or Sailor. Different atmosphere, but all good." she chuckled. "I haven't actually talked Florence though, beyond the times I saw her when we facetimed before. I know I've seen her around a bit, but maybe I should get to know her better." Stevie had honestly kept her distance around the blonde because she knew she was Juliette's friend. It just seemed like it would be awkward. "If she's down, of course." she added in casually. There was no telling if Florence really wanted to chat with Stevie.

Juliette felt her breath catch when Stevie mentioned June. She wondered what had actually happened, how things had changed. It didn't seem like Stevie was busy right now, but Juliette knew it wasn't her place to pry about where the two were at. All she knew is that Stevie was choosing to spend time with Juliette even though Juliette was awful. Juliette felt so guilty about everything, she wanted to break down. But she was so happy that things were surface and okay in these moments, how they could sit together like it was still Junior year and nothing had ever gone wrong. She came back to reality when Stevie mentioned Florence, "I'm sure she would love to spend time with you in person. She knows you already" said the girl. Juliette touched Stevie's hand, "only good things too" she said with a light squeeze before putting her hands back into her own lap.

Once Juliette grabbed her hand, Stevie could feel her heart skip a beat. In that moment, that small gesture made her happier than ever, but it didn't take too long for the feeling to fade. Did that actually mean something or did Juliette do that without really thinking about it? She was the one that broke Stevie's heart. She made the choice to end what they had, surely it meant nothing. Even if there was some slim chance that it did, Stevie wasn't sure what to make of that. Here she was, getting excited over something like touching the girl's hand after all this time. After all the pain she's experienced. Stevie felt like a mess of emotions. "Well now that the semester is wrapping up, I bet we can all figure something fun out. Not sure if she's a huge party person, but we can always set up some kind of casual get together. Nothing too intense."

Touching Stevie's hand meant everything to Juliette, and she wished she hadn't moved her hand back into her own lap. But she hadn't wanted to be pushy, or act like she wasn't also interested in Stevie's friendship. Juliette wanted to be in Stevie's life more than anything, especially since it was her fault that she was out of it. God, it was all her fault. "Yeah, she's not really ... but I'm sure she would be down to get coffee or something" said Juliette, "and hey at least you and I will be spending plenty of time together this summer. You're working camp again ... right?" Juliette was nervous that Stevie might not be, that she might have signed herself up to work all summer without Stevie also being on staff. It wasn't a deal breaker for her, she wanted to do it. She wanted the summer she never got. It was selfish, but she felt like she needed to be around Stevie as much as possible now they were in the same universe again.

"I'm always up for that." Stevie loved parties, it was a nice way to be around the people she loved and just forget about whatever bullshit was going on in their lives. But she needed balance in her life. For every party, there was always a nice cool down. The girl enjoyed her peace. As Juliette mentioned working camp for the summer, Stevie smiled and nodded. She didn't go to summer camp every single summer, mainly because her parents had plans for the family, but she did have some great memories. It was just as fun to work as one of the counselors because the people she liked were usually there, except Cody. It was a way for everyone to have a good time together without all the issues the parents and town brought. "Yeah, I am. I heard a lot of people are this summer." she answered happily. "Can't wait to see you in full Bear Grylls mode. What a fuckin' treat for me."

"I'm sure I'll see you at a party sometime soon also. Between Marina and Gabrielle, I'm sure there are plenty of parties in my future" said Juliette with an excited smile on her face. She remembered all the fun she would have with Stevie at parties, those were truly the good old days. "I have a hankering to get rid of my perfect manicure and build some fires" said the girl with a little laugh, "not sure if I still have it in me to go full Bear Grylls, but maybe as a treat for you". Juliette would honestly do anything for Stevie. These moments were making that clearer than ever. She looked over at Stevie, "I'm really happy to be back" she said quietly, a soft smile on her face. She wanted Stevie to know that this was good, that she wanted to be here. That she wanted to be here with her.

Stevie was instantly reminded of all the times her and Juliette partied together. She'd say she was surprised by how much of lightweight Juliette was back in the day, but she wasn't. It was still amusing though. "Oh you know me, I'm always down for a party. Especially after this stressful ass semester." she said with a smile. She then gasped dramatically, "Not your perfectly shaped and painted nails." she teased her. There was just some old discord messages of theirs that stuck with Stevie. "We could build some fires during the day and maybe get the gang back together to hang during the night. It could be fun." Stevie always had a fun time when her and Juliette's friend groups merged. Once the other girl mentioned how happy she was to be back, Stevie nodded, "I'm happy too." she admitted. "It's nice to see you around again."

Juliette was always calmed by the fact that her and Stevie's friend groups had gotten along so easily. Whenever Juliette felt insecure about liking her, she thought about how all of their friends had slowly gotten together. How it was like they were always meant to be together, and the people around them just bonded. She was surprised they didn't cross paths sooner, but that was on Juliette's unwillingness to meet people that weren't already her friends. "That sounds like the most fun to me. Almost like operation spring break out. That might have been one of the best parties I have ever been to. Not a tear in the house" said the girl with a small laugh. That weekend was special for other reasons too, reasons for just between the two of them. She wondered if Stevie ever found that extra letter she had put in the back of the journal. Juliette put her head onto Stevie's shoulder and fiddled with her ring, "I would have given anything to watch tv with you these last two years" she said softly, almost a whisper.

"Fuck yeah, that was the best." Stevie said with excitement. The spring break they all spent together was definitely a memory she would keep with her forever, for more than one reason. Everything about it was fun. No one was having any issues with each other, it just was perfect. "Who would've thought everyone would mesh the way we all did? I'm sure the boys will definitely be down for that." There was the glaring issue that pretty much everyone that was dating someone in this huge group were now broken up ... but fuck it. Hanging out all together might help that problem, and if it didn't, the night would still be eventful at least. Without thinking, Stevie gently leaned her head on Juliette's once Juliette's head was on her shoulder. It just felt right to be like this, but she stayed quiet for a second. "Yeah? I honestly didn't think I was on your radar much these past few years." she responded just as quietly. The last two years sucked, it wasn't until this semester where Stevie started to pick herself back up. She never really thought her and Juliette would ever speak again once they broke up.

It hurt to hear that. Yes it had been Juliette's call that broke them up. She's the one who said the word, and cut all communication. "Just because I didn't know what you were doing on where you were doesn't mean I wasn't thinking about you nonstop" she said, tears coming to her eyes. She wasn't crying, but the tears were threatening her hardcore. Juliette kept moving her ring up and down her finger, nervous to be talking about this. It needed to be talked about. It was always going to be the elephant in the room. That she had called it. When she was never supposed to. But she felt like she was going to be holding Stevie back. That they were both in so much pain that it wasn't worth it. They weren't going to be able to communicate even online for three months while she was in the woods, it would have killed her. So she just stopped everything. It was a gut reaction and not the best choice, but it was a necessary evil at the time. It goes without saying, Juliette no longer felt that way.

Stevie didn't think it would hurt so much to hear that Juliette was thinking of her nonstop. She should have been happy about that, but it only made her think about how these past two years were completely wasted. Stevie was thinking about Juliette nonstop too. They could have just been together then. Of course it wasn't that simple though. Juliette would have been gone for months and they wouldn't have been able to speak to each other at all. Talking strictly over discord was never an issue for Stevie, that's how their friendship started anyways. Only talking online. Not talking at all though? That was going to be difficult, but Stevie wanted to at least try. No matter how hard things would get, she would do anything to be with Juliette. "Then what was the point?" she asked without thinking. It wasn't something she wanted to bring up. They were having a good time today, but there was no going back. "Why do it?" she asked, referring to the break up. "Cause if I did something- if something happened, you could tell me. I could take it." Stevie could feel the tears welling up, she felt so stupid. So desperate for an answer.

Hearing Stevie's voice sound even a little upset pushed her over the edge and she could feel her tears falling. "What? No!" she said quietly and desperately, "I would never do anything like that. Stevie I haven't even ... I haven't even been with anybody at all" Juliette clarified. Her heart was hurting, "I just didn't want to hold you back from being happy at school without me. Your life didn't have to change much, and I felt like I was making you hold onto me. We weren't going to be able to communicate for months, and it hurt so badly that I needed it to stop and that was the only way I knew how to." Juliette was so nervous right now, she felt like any response wasn't good enough, "I thought you would be better off without me". That wasn't for Juliette to decide though.

Stevie didn't allow herself to think that the reason was simply because of the distance and no way for communication, she stressed herself out with all kind of different scenarios. Juliette finding someone else, or Juliette realizing her worth and figuring out that she could do so much better than Stevie. It always came back around to Stevie feeling like she wasn't good enough. Her first girlfriend cheated on her, then her next barely paid attention to her. If she couldn't keep those two girls happy, there was no way she could keep Juliette Hastings. "You never made me do anything. I wanted to hold onto you." her voice cracked as she spoke. If it wasn't hard enough to keep her tears in, seeing Juliette cry made it impossible. "Come on, we both know that's not true. I'm fucking lucky I even got the chance to be with you." I don't match up, I don't even come close. she kept those thoughts to herself.

Juliette's heart was aching. She thought heart break was saying goodbye, but it was looking more and more like a get out of jail free card. She never had to see Stevie moving on, but she also didn't have to see any of the grieving of their relationship. "You're lucky? You?" said Juliette as a small smile broke onto her face through the tears, "Stevie Summers you were never the lucky one." Juliette took one of Stevie's hands into both of hers, "I have been and always will be the lucky one that you chose to spend time with me. You are free and creative and so so loving. Not to mention, talented and beautiful" Juliette took a deep breath, "holding you back was killing me, because it was my fault that I got sent away. It was my secrets that made our relationship hard when it was the easiest thing in the world. Loving you was the easiest and most simple thing ever, and I went and I made it difficult for everybody involved. What I'm trying to say is I was lucky, like beyond lucky to even catch your eye"

The tears didn't stop falling down Stevie's face as Juliette spoke, mainly because it was hard to hear what was being said. Stevie was really proud of the progress she made with herself, the confidence she had built up, but relationships always broke that down. There was this constant worry that she wasn't good enough, and no matter how hard she'd try, things would always end up bad. To hear that she was creative and loving, talented and beautiful should have felt nice, especially to hear it from Juliette. But her mind automatically shut all of it down. Was there really anything special about Stevie Summers? Was there anything to actually be proud of? "No." she shook her head. "That wasn't your fault. I should have been more considerate. I don't want you to blame yourself for that, please. I'm so sorry for how everything turned out. You didn't deserve any of this, and I wish I could fix all of it. I wish I could make everything right." Stevie was well aware of how hard it was to come out, and she didn't want Juliette to feel like because she wasn't ready, she was at fault. It was Stevie who should have made her feel as comfortable as possible, but then she got carried away, and it caused Juliette to be dragged to the other side of the country. "You weren't holding me back. You've never held me back. I had never felt more free in my life when I was with you."

She wished the fort had protected them more. But there was so much of the outside world still in their hearts. "It's neither of our faults. It's my parents fault for not loving me enough, okay?" she said as her lip quivered "and you did fix everything. You made me really happy in a place where I didn't think I could ever be happy". Juliette held up Stevie's hand in hers and held it tight to her chest, "I am so sorry that I made the call. But I was lost and being apart from you hurt so much because I knew what it was like to be near you and if I had played my cards right none of that would have happened. Once spring break was over, I was destroyed. I didn't know how to live, and I was worried I was stopping you from living. I thought I was making the grown up decision and we'd both be happier. But I haven't been happy since the day I said bygone, you were the best thing that ever happened to me. Letting you go is going to be my biggest regret of all time" she said as she held onto the girls hand even tighter. She didn't want to let go, she couldn't let go again. There was no space to make the same mistake twice.

Stevie listened to Juliette speak, it was crushing her to see the girl she loved so much like this. Sure she had just started to move on from Juliette this semester, but the moment she saw her that day in the quad, she knew. There was no moving on from Juliette Hastings. Stevie was still in love with her. As the other girl was speaking, Stevie thought this was Juliette's way of saying she wanted her back. But then she said, letting you go is going to be my biggest regret of all time, and it made her panic. It's like she was going to be left behind yet again, she wasn't sure if she could take that kind of heartbreak again. "Then don't." she said, almost in a whisper. "If you don't want to, don't. I'm right here." Stevie wasn't going to beg Juliette to stay, this was her decision to make, and even though she hoped she wouldn't leave, Stevie would still respect the choice she was going to make. What Juliette wanted was the most important thing to her.

Juliette looked up at Stevie as she said to not let her go. Her eyes filled with wonder and gratitude. She leaned in and kissed Stevie softly. Juliette's heart felt like it was going to explode, everything felt like it was right in the world. "I won't ever let you go, I never really have" she said as she took her hand away from Stevie. Juliette took off her ring and put it in Stevie's hand, "it broke the week I called it because I was tugging on it so much in the woods at night" said the girl quietly, "so I had it turned into a ring so I could fiddle with it as much as I wanted. I never take it off". Juliette curled up into Stevie's arms, "I'm so sorry" she said as she let out a soft sob. She felt so good and so bad all at the same time, "you know as your friend I don't think you should take back your sucky ex, right?" said Juliette looking up and smiling, letting out a nervous laugh.

Stevie never thought she'd ever get the chance to kiss Juliette again, but fuck did she miss this. Being like this with Juliette just always felt right, it's where she belonged. She looked down at the ring in her hand and listened to Juliette talk about the necklace. The night Juliette left to boarding school, Stevie had gotten them both necklaces with their initials on it. It made her cry all over again to hear that she had kept it this whole time. "Same here." Stevie took Juliette's hand and placed the ring back on her finger before bending down to lift the leg of her pants. She kept her "J" necklace around her ankle at all times. "I never take it off either. Glad to know I'm not completely crazy." she chuckled. "I know, it's okay." Stevie said quietly. She was still really hurt by everything, but she knew Juliette was being honest when she apologized. All Stevie could do was hope time would heal this. "Well between you and me, I'm kinda whipped. But don't tell her though, it'll go straight to her head." she smiled back at Juliette.

Juliette's heart soared when Stevie showed that she was also wearing the necklace. They had both held onto each other in different ways. "I'm going to spend a long time making it up to you. Emphasis on long time" she said softly, "and you've never been crazy. We're just soulmates". Juliette truly felt that they were soulmates. Everything just fell into place when they were together. Things just happened to them. They weren't going to hang out in school even though they had mutual friends? Make them meet and fall in love online. Separated by poor choices and horrible parents? Send them to the same school. It was kismet. Juliette laughed when Stevie said she was whipped and not to tell herself, "I won't tell her if you don't tell her about this" said Juliette as she leaned forward and kissed Stevie again, it was the most amazing kiss every time. Getting to kiss Stevie Summers was enchanting, there was no other kiss in the universe like it.

spring break out || part 1

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: washington // junior year.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: juliette x stevie (ft. montag).

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒: true and unadulterated hapiness.

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: a cross country road trip for love.

Montag got out of his car and tossed the keys to Stevie who had gotten out of the van, "You wait here outside the gate, she'll be out here before you know it" he said passively. He was not showing it, but he was really excited to see his sister. Enough that he had come on this spring break trip with her friends just to get her out of school. "And you" he said to Wren through the window of the van, "are picking me up so we can get to the house and get stuff set up for one hell of a rager" he said as he pat the car. Wren nodded.

Montag headed into the school and showed his ID so he could go up to Juliette's room. He knocked on the door before walking in, "Hey dumbass" said Montag with a smirk that turned into a full smile. "Monty!!!!" Juliette said, shocked by his presence in her dorm room. She jumped off her bed and hugged him. "What are you doing here?! You didn't tell me!!" she said, squeezing him so tightly. "I wanted to surprise you, but I am breaking you out of here for a few days. We can go out to dinner and get you out of this stuffy place. Just you and me" he lied, "pack your things." He was going to think of a better lie, but he needed an excuse for her to dress well. Not that she wouldn't, but she had no idea what was to come. "Actually, go ahead and dress for dinner. I want to go sightseeing in Seattle first, and I know you'll be uncomfortable in the restaurant if you're not wearing one of your outfits" he said in the most blase way possible. Somewhere, in his deepest heart of hearts ... he was rooting for love today. And that team was going to win.

Juliette quickly packed her things, some of her best outfits and her toiletries. "I'm staying staying with you?" she clarified. "Yes, pack for three days" he replied as he sat down at her desk and put together her laptop and things. He turned around so she could get changed, and she got herself all ready. "Let me just put on a little makeup and I'll be ready, will you get my suitcase shut?" she asked with a soft smile. Juliette finished getting ready, and she looked great. She hadn't really gotten to see the city at all yet, and was more than excited to get out of the country side and to go in. Little did she know, she was hardly going to be going anywhere. Once he got her out of the dorm and she had said goodbye to Florence, Montag and Juliette walked out into the sun. Her bags in his hands, he smiled at her. "I parked off the property, sorry for the walk" he said. She was suspicious of the smile, "What are you smiling about? Did you bring Kiki with you?" she teased. "I brought something" he said as they stepped past the gate. That's when the other girl came into view, leaning on the car. Juliette dropped her backpack right then and there and started running.

Stevie kept wiping her hands on her pants, they were all clammy from the nerves. Good nerves, of course. This was the first time she was seeing Juliette in months, nothing was going ruin this moment for them. "Sounds good." she answered Montag with a single nod. "And thanks, seriously." she said with a genuine smile. She had no idea how she would repay everyone for what they were doing, but she'd find a way eventually. Times like these made her realize how incredible the people around her were. As she waited, Stevie leaned against the car and played with her little J necklace. Her heart was racing. It's like she was meeting perchancetodream in person all over again. Once Juliette was in sight, Stevie's smile couldn't get any wider. She opened her arms for Juliette as she ran up to her, wrapping her arms around the girl and swinging her around before giving her a deep kiss. Their first public kiss (minus twisted tuesdays, but that was different). To some people it wouldn't mean a lot, but to Stevie it did. She wanted the whole world to know that she was Juliette's girlfriend. "I've missed you so much, Hastings."

Montag smiled, "Go get her" he said before she started to run. Montag picked up the bags and got in the van and the lot headed off to the airbnb, Rose and Marina looking out the window to see the two embrace. Their collective awwwww filled the car fully. Before Juliette knew it, her feet were off the ground as she was spun around by her favorite person in the entire world. Their lips locked, and Juliette felt completely free. There was no harm to be done by them being seen, it was just for them without all the weight and baggage. "I've missed you!!" said Juliette enthusiastically as she put her hands on either side of Stevie's face. "I can't believe it, you're actually here!! I can't believe you all surprised me like this!!" she said as she gave Stevie a little kiss on the nose, completely on her tippy toes to get there. "I am the luckiest girl in the entire world, Stevie Summers" she said, the name flowing off her lips sweeter than honey. She couldn't even believe it, it all felt like a dream. Taking her hands off Stevie's face wasn't even something she could conceptualize, she was worried that the other girl would disappear.

The months they weren't together should have been easier. They had talked to each other on the internet for two years, but once Stevie had Juliette in person, how could she go back? It was harder than she expected, but they made it work, which wasn't a surprise to Stevie. She would do anything for Juliette, no hesitation. Plus, the wait just made this moment even sweeter. "Well I had to make our reunion a big deal. Besides, I couldn't wait any longer to see you. Speaking of seeing you, are you fucking kidding me? Talk about making an impression. This might be my favorite dress yet." Juliette was always sending her outfit pics, but to see her in person with this outfit. It hit different. Hearing her name come out of Juliette's mouth was something she'd never get over. "We got a whole thing planned out for the weekend, it's gonna be great." she nodded over to everyone in the cars. "But right now, you and I get some alone time. We got a lot of catching up to do."

Juliette blushed, and she was just ... beaming. She couldn't help but smile, and she did love a compliment. She did a little twirl for the girl and posed for a second before getting right back up into her personal space. She didn't want there to be more than an inch between them at all times. "I can't believe I thought I was wasting this outfit on Monty and a nice dinner" she said with a laugh. Juliette wiggled her eyebrows, "catching up? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?" she said as she waved to the cars. They all took that as a sign to hit the road, and they started driving away. "Did you bring a whole platoon with you? Is everybody here?" Juliette asked, her smile still shining bright. All the people she loved had come to see her, enough to fill more than one car. It was so amazing, Stevie was so amazing. "I am just so happy that you are here, don't tell the others ... but you're my favorite human of all time." Juliette moved in to hug her, putting her head on the other girl's chest, squeezing tightly to make sure it wasn't all a dream.

"If you were going wear this just to hang out with Thaddeus, I can't imagine what else you got up your sleeve." Stevie told the girl with a smile on her face. Juliette never missed a beat when it came to the clothes she wore. "Woah, Hastings. I just wanted to catch up over some lunch. What did you have in mind?" she teased her girlfriend. Stevie of course had some things up her sleeve later on in the night for Juliette, but for now, she wanted to talk. "Yep the band's all here. Plus Chase, Jonah, their girlfriends, and your brother's girlfriend and boyfriend... question mark? You know what I mean." she said with a chuckle. "We're also gonna give you a pretty sick performance, just for you." Stevie couldn't wait to perform for Juliette. Whenever they did gigs back home, Stevie would only see Juliette in the crowd. She was playing just for her. But this time it was special. She had a new song and of course wanted to perform Perchance to Dream. That was only for special occasions. Stevie took Juliette's hand and walked her over to the car, opening up the passenger door for her. "Don't tell them either, but I'm mostly here for you. They're fun and all, but you are my favorite."

"I have a few going out to eat outfits, but I am not prepared to see you at all! I thought I was going to be lounging around and eating all weekend!" said Juliette, thinking over what she had in her suitcase. She had packed for a little bit of everything, just because Montag really went with the flow of whatever mood he was in. She had a swim suit in there, and a heavier jacket, pretty much everything under the sun. "Summers!" she whined when Stevie teased her about how they were going to spend time together and Juliette shoved her girlfriend lightly. When Stevie mentioned Montag's situation she laughed, "just don't think about it too hard. I don't think they know what it is, only that they would have separation anxiety if he were to come without them." Juliette looked at Stevie when she was talking about how the band was going to perform, and Juliette let out a squeal. It was everything she had ever wanted. She spent so much time showing Florence videos of the Striking Vipers preforming, and to get to see it in person again? Oh it was just the best thing in the entire world. Stevie opened up the car door for her and Juliette gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, "are you sure you don't want me to drive?" she joked.

"You have the cutest outfits. Even your pajamas are cute." Stevie reassured Juliette even though she knew how her girlfriend was about the clothes she wore. "But we can always go shopping around the city. You could pick an outfit out for both of us, my treat." Stevie was pretty curious on what kind of outfit Juliette would pick out for her. Even though they both dressed very differently, she trusted her girlfriend's sense of style. "Damn boarding school really has changed you, huh?" she continued to tease Juliette. "But I'll see if I can squeeze in some more private time with you later on. Don't wanna leave you unsatisfied." Stevie would be lying if she said she wasn't excited to have her girlfriend all alone. She nodded as Juliette explained Montag's situation with Camilla and Kiran. She was pretty much used to it at this point. "You driving?" she asked after smiling from the kiss she received. "I love you so much, but I want to keep living." she joked before kissing her girlfriend's forehead and heading to the other side of the car. "So how's everything been here? How's Florence doing? No pretty girls I should be seeing as competition?" she asked with a grin as she began to drive them out into the city. Stevie and Juliette constantly talked over discord, so she knew a bit about what was going on here.

"Your treat? That's not how this works at all. In lieu of psychological damages on you and me, this treat will be falling purely on my parents" said Juliette looking up at her girlfriend, "and while we are at it, lunch too." Juliette was not going to take no for an answer on that front, she was sure of it. Jules scrunched her nose when Stevie continued to tease her about one on one time, "you tease me, but I'm going to be a very happy camper waking up next to you for the next few days." God, that really was the dream. They had had a few sleepovers, but they hadn't been able to be that close all the time. This was going to be the most amazing weekend ever, she could feel it. "That's a compelling argument" said Juliette as she got kissed on the forehead, "I would also like you to keep living." She got in and buckled her seat belt, "Flo is good, she's been great honestly" Juliette said with a kind smile, "and I have been blind the whole time I have been away from you. Only ugly people on this campus, except for Florence, but she knows I'm a taken woman." She had only physically talked to Florence anyways, and a few teachers, and one janitor who always started conversations. She kept her social interactions ... very very limited.

The moment Juliette mentioned her parents, Stevie raised a brow and pointed at the girl. "Ahh, I see you. How generous of them. So sweet." she joked, it was time Juliette's parents treated them for once. It wasn't going to make up for everything they did, but spending their money was good enough for her. It was well deserved. "I do miss our sleepovers." Stevie mentioned with a smile. It was only for a weekend, but she'd allow herself to pretend they were in their own little world, living with her girlfriend. Waking up to her by her side, cooking each other breakfast. It was perfect. Stevie smiled as Juliette mentioned that Florence was doing good. She was glad Juliette had found someone she connected with so much. Hopefully having Florence there made everything a little more easier for her. "Same here, completely blind. Girls? Haven't seen them in a while. I only know of Juliette Hastings." she chuckled under her breath, hoping Juliette didn't think she was flirting around while she was away. Her brain was constantly on Juliette mode. Once they got to a shopping center, Stevie parked the car and got out to open Juliette's door. "You might know this place better than I do. Lead the way, babe." Stevie held out her hand for Juliette to grab with a huge smile on her face.

Juliette smiled, but it was soft and a tinge melancholy. "Our sleepovers are the best" she replied, biting her lip a little out of nervousness. This weekend had a lot riding on it, it was going to have to tide them over again for a while. She just missed seeing Stevie in the hallways, drinking milkshakes at the diner and her dealing with the fact that Juliette ate her fries with a fork and knife, watching the band perform. She missed all of it. But she missed her the most, just being in a room with her. Juliette felt comforted that Stevie was truly and fully still off the market. Everything about Stevie was desirable, and she was a little worried about people knowing that they had been dating in secret. She had heard from Gabrielle that basically the whole school knew, so hopefully that marked the territory enough. She had complete trust in Stevie, especially knowing about how she had been cheated on before. Also, they were in the kind of love that was so all consuming that it hardly ever even dawned on Juliette. She was mostly jealous that other people got to look at the girl in the flesh on a daily basis. She was jealous of Wren for taking pictures with her, she was jealous of Gabrielle for getting to spend time with her, she was jealous of anyone who got to breath the air that she breathed. But she wasn't jealous of anyone trying to get close to Stevie the way Juliette was. No human beings had ever stood so close to another's soul as they had. "That's good to hear, but we both know the only person I'm jealous of is me" she teased, referencing back to how ridiculous Juliette had been. But don't worry, next time they talk about that she will have the ego of Chanel Hampton about it. Once they arrived, Stevie opened the door for her and put out her hand, god this woman was amazing. "I have seen stuff on tik tok about this area, but I haven't been here" she said as she held the other girl's hand and hugged on her arm. "I think thrifting is definitely for us" she said as they started to walk down the street. It felt so good to be holding onto her, like she couldn't float away. "So I'm picking out things for you, and you're picking out things for me? And don't make me look ridiculous, Summers. That's a warning. I know your thought process. If she hates it she'll want to take it off, but I want to look good for you" she said pouting a little to show that she was just being funny.

Stevie let out a drawn out sigh once Juliette mentioned being jealous of herself, followed by a small smile. It felt so long ago that all of that happened, but Stevie remembered it so vividly. Being around Juliette felt like being home, and she couldn't understand why. From their first in-person conversation, the day Juliette interviewed her, Stevie could tell the other girl was meant to be in her life. Of course at that time, she only thought their relationship would be platonic, but as time went on, she got more and more confused. Sometimes Stevie would feel so stupid for not figuring it all out sooner. Sometimes she questioned whether Juliette was perchancetodream, but then she'd shut it down pretty quickly. But the instant connection they had in person just solidified what Stevie had thought throughout the two years she talked to the nameless person on the internet. No matter how they met, no matter who she was, Stevie and her were always meant to cross paths. They were simply meant for each other. Nothing would change that. The moment Juliette hugged her arm, Stevie bent down a bit to kiss her girlfriend's cheek. She'd keep this moment with her forever. The two girls being able to show how unapologetically in love they were. Being silently in love with Juliette Hastings was perfectly fine. As long as she had Juliette, she was okay. But some people didn't understand the pure joy that came from a public display of affection when you had to hide your relationship. Juliette didn't deserve to be hidden. "I was thinking the same thing." Stevie nodded in agreement to the suggestion of thrifting. She was a little nervous to pick something out for Juliette. Sure, she knew her girlfriend's style, but she also knew her standards were high when it came to clothes. It's not like there was any pressure being put on Stevie, but she needed to make sure the outfit would hit the mark. "Look, I'll try my best not to make you look like a fool but I can't make any promises." she teased Juliette. "Besides, I don't see anything wrong with you taking some clothes off, as long as I'm in the dressing room with you. Or is dressing room hook ups just a little too scandalous for you, miss mayor's daughter?" she said softly in her girlfriend's ear.

When Stevie leaned down to kiss her on the cheek, Juliette looked up to her and smiled. Her eyes creasing a little in the corners as it happened, she was just radiating joy to be here with here. To be anywhere with her. "I know you'll pick something great" Juliette had absolute faith in Stevie. There had been a lot of focus on her outfits throughout their time together, Juliette always kicking things up a notch around her just to see that Stevie smile when she looked her best. That Stevie smile gassed her up like nothing else, and god the compliments were worth getting out of bed for, on their own. There was nothing more affirming than Stevie complimenting her. When Stevie suggested a dressing room hook up Juliette shoved her a little to be playful, "Stevieeee" she said, feigning shock. "I am not going to spend my first day with you in months getting a citation for public indecency" Juliette had to laugh at the whole thing. "If you wanted to get your hands on me, then you shouldn't have taken me out in public" the girl taunted, knowing that they had many many more hours to spend together. Sure, some of it would be around other people ... but they would find time. Plenty of time. "Plus, I want to see your face at the outfit reveal, and if you get to watch then there's no element of surprise" she was going to insist on having to see her face when she came out of the dressing room. She knew she would lock those memories up tight forever. The two girls headed into the thrift store that Juliette had heard a lot about and Juliette squeezed her hand before letting go, "I am gonna go to the men's section for a moment and see what it has to offer for you. So go and be free, wander around. See if there's anything that screams Hastings" she said with a wink.

Stevie let out a small laugh once Juliette nudged her. Though she would never turn down something like that, she wasn't completely serious about it either. She just wanted to get Juliette's reaction and it was exactly what she was expecting. Sweet, innocent Juliette Hastings. The hold she had on Stevie. "The first night we had ever spent together ended with you on beer bong table. If anything, this is way more private than that night." she continued to tease her as she brought up homecoming night. That night would always stick with her, especially the after party. "I just wanted everyone to see how gorgeous my girlfriend is. If anything, it's your fault for being so damn beautiful." she said before giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "But I do love a good reveal, so I promise to be on my best behavior." Stevie took a quick look around the thrift store before looking down at Juliette. She was excited to see what her girlfriend was going to pick out for her. She knew the girl wouldn't disappoint. "I'll do my best. I know you will." she saluted her before heading straight the the skirts. Juliette loved her skirts, everyone knew that, but then she noticed a nice, form fitting plaid dress and it just screamed Juliette. After a few minutes, she found a white turtleneck that seemed to go nice with the dress. As she walked back to Juliette, Stevie noticed an outfit that was more for herself, but why not throw it in and see if she could get her girlfriend to try it on. Sure it was jeans and a loose, button up shirt, but it was cute to Stevie. "Alright. I got a few options. You gotta try them all on though, even if you may or may not like them. Just trust me." she said as she flashed her teeth at the girl.

Juliette smiled at the mention of the beer pong table, that kiss lived in her mind completely rent free. She thought about it way more than even she was willing to admit. Then Stevie was calling her beautiful, this day could end now and she would be happy with what she had gotten out of it. Obviously, she wanted so much more. But it was the little things that just made today so fulfilling already. Juliette sauntered off to the men's section, but was dismayed at the lack of good floral shirts, so she made her way back to the girl's side of things and she saw a fun skirt. This could be fun, seeing her in a skirt even for a few minutes. She picked out a fun t-shirt to go with it, keeping things casual for Stevie's sake. Then she went over and found a cute top, something a little less out of Stevie's comfort zone but she knew it would be so flattering on her figure. Juliette picked up the things and held them in her arms, getting distracted by all the options. She went with her gut though, and found Stevie walking around the store. "I also have a few options for you" she replied, knowing that there'd be a funny option and a serious option. She hoped the girl would like the shirt though, "same to you, just trust the process" she said, beaming at her. The girls traded clothes, "I will see you in a minute." Juliette headed into the changing room and put on the jeans and top option, smiling at how they were trading places for a minute, "you're putting on the skirt one first, right?" Juliette called out between the two rooms, "ready?" she asked once she was fully changed.

Stevie was excited to see what Juliette had picked out for her, but after they gave each other the clothes they picked, she immediately noticed the skirt. She instantly smiled to herself and knew she had to try this on first. A treat from her girlfriend, but a treat for her girlfriend as well. It was nice to know that they came up with the same idea to bring one serious outfit and one ... not so serious. Stevie was down to experiment though, and she had to admit, the skirt Juliette picked out was cute. "Oh of course, and you're putting on the jeans right?" she asked as she put the outfit on. Once everything was on, she took one more look in the mirror and nodded to herself in approval. "Okay, ready." Stevie pulled away the dressing room curtains and walked out to see Juliette in the outfit, her smile couldn't get any wider. "Even in jeans you're still fucking gorgeous. Goddamn." she teased the girl and checked her out a bit. "I would say that outfit is a win." she stated with a proud smile. Stevie of course would approve of the outfit, it was pretty much something she'd wear herself. "Now how do I look? Not to toot my own horn, but I think my legs look kinda nice." Stevie did a small spin and chuckled under her breath, "Was that your plan all along, Hastings?"

Juliette laughed at her reflection before she stepped out of the dressing room, "I look so incredibly gay right now" she replied when Stevie said the outfit was a win, "not a bad thing, just very ... wow" said the girl. But she couldn't help but stare at Stevie's long legs, "my long legged ladyyy" said Juliette with a huge smile on her face as she checked out Stevie for a minute as she spun around, "spin again, I heard you wouldn't" said the girl, teasing her a little, "people have been talking, they said so." Juliette just wanted to see her spin again, she was so pretty. Beautiful, enchanting, her girlfriend. All words that could describe Stevie Summers. Juliette smiled as she headed back into the changing room and put on the next outfit, "hey can you come and zip me up?" she called out as she got the other outfit on. The zipper was a little finicky, and she would enjoy Stevie coming into her changing room with a good excuse for a second.

"Fuck yeah you do, babe." Stevie said with a relaxed smile on her face, trying to take in the sight before it was over. She loved Juliette in her skirts and dresses, but who knew when she'd ever see a tiny Stevie again? When Juliette said to spin again, she raised a brow and laughed, "People, huh? Guess I can't disappoint the fans." She did one more little spin for the girl before they both went back into their dressing rooms. Stevie was already finishing up when Juliette called out for her, a smirk forming on her face after hearing that the girl needed help zipping up her dress. "Of course." she spoke sweetly before leaving her dressing room and going into her girlfriend's, "Is this your way of telling me you had a change of heart?" she whisper in the girl's ear, referring to when Stevie joked about a dressing room hook up. She looked over at Juliette's reflection while she helped zip up the dress and smiled to herself. Her girlfriend was stunning. "You like it? I think you look incredible, and I think it fits your style."

Juliette giggled a little when she asked Stevie to spin again and she did it, "I really do have you whipped don't I?" she added, her smile still plastered on her face. When she was trying to get her dress zipped up and she asked Stevie to come in, her heart started to flutter a little. It was in full palpitation as her girlfriend whispered in her ear, looking at the two of them in the mirror together. Stevie always towered over her, but she felt closer to the girl than ever. "You know me so well" said the girl, taking Stevie's hands and wrapping them around her from behind. "You know me better than anyone" Juliette could feel herself about to cry from happiness. But she held it in, turning around in the girl's arms and giving her a soft kiss. "Also you look so amazing, and also also I am buying all four of these outfits. Whose to say I won't steal your style?" she teased with a smile. She pulled out the amex she was given and waved it around, "they can eat their hearts out, me and my girlfriend are going to be the best dressed of all time." Juliette was so happy to be here with Stevie, "will you unzip me before you head out?" she asked as she turned back around to look at their reflection again. She loved seeing them side by side, it just felt so good to be in the same space.

As Juliette took Stevie’s arms to wrap around her body, Stevie stepped a bit closer until her body was pressed up against the girl’s and nuzzled her face into the crook of her girlfriend's neck, placing a soft kiss on her skin. She missed having Juliette around here. There was a special kind of comfort whenever she was around her. Her gentle presence soothed Stevie. She was so used to a loud, almost hectic environment because of her parents, and though she loved them, she also appreciated taking a step back from it all to relax. Juliette was that breath of fresh air. Stevie smiled at her girlfriend in the mirror when she said she knew her so well. All Stevie wanted was to learn as much as possible about Juliette, ever since their time on the internet. She smiled against the girl's lips as they kissed, "And ditch the skirts? You would never." she teased. "But I was a fan, maybe I'll start wearing more skirts. Who knows. Maybe you'll start getting skirt pictures from me." Stevie laughed as the girl waved the card in the air, "Juliette Hastings, I didn't know you were such a rebel. What have those boarding school girls done to you?" She then nodded as a response and started to unzip the dress, leaving a small trail of kisses down her spine. Stevie was just a little too tall to make it so far down Juliette's body without bending over too much. "Alright, I'll see you in a sec." she winked at the girl as she exited the room and went into her own to get dressed into her clothes.

"I would die at a skirt picture, but I also love your style. You know that" said the girl, wanting to be affirming of her usual Stevie. Those outfits that made her heart race when she saw her. Things that were so obviously Stevie. The girl she loved so very much. Juliette laughed, "I'm a rebel with a cause." She just wanted to make sure they had the most fun physically possible this weekend, and she was more than happy to make sure her parents bankrolled their good time. The kisses down her spine made her shiver at the touch, she just felt so deeply seen by Stevie. That she was loved for all of her: mind, body, and soul. She blushed at the wink and quickly got changed back into her other outfit, ready to see Stevie again already. She folded up the clothes she was going to buy and headed out of the dressing room. They finished up and Juliette bought the clothes and a pair of fun sunglasses before they headed out with the bags, "Where to next?" she asked as she reached out and held the girl's hand again. "I will go absolutely anywhere with you." Juliette ran her thumb over the girl's hand as their fingers were intertwined. She really would go anywhere with her, spending time with her was the greatest gift of all time.

"Maybe if you're lucky enough, I'll slide you a picture after spring break. Who knows?" Stevie chuckled, though it was nice to hear that someone with such great style like Juliette liked Stevie's. "Can't believe I'm witnessing another segment of mayor's daughter goes wild. Not gonna lie, it's kinda hot." she teased her girlfriend. Anything Juliette did was attractive to Stevie, let's be real. Once they were out of the thrift store, she took her bag with one hand and held the girl's hand with the other. "I looked some places up and saw there was some nice art we could check out. But not before we get some food of course." If Stevie was already getting a little hungry, she couldn't imagine how Juliette was feeling. She was always snacking. "You in the mood for anything specific? Or we can always wing it. Go to the first spot we see."

Juliette's stomach had been growling for a little while now, but she had been so distracted by Stevie's presence that she honestly was not thinking about food. Her eyes sparkled at the mention of food, "I am always hungry" she said with a little laugh as she pulled up their held hands and gave Stevie's hand a small kiss, "whatever you'd like, or whatever we find is good by me. I will eat anything and everything." The two girls continued down the street a little before they passed a cute little american dining establishment, "here seems perfect" said the girl as she pulled the other girl in. "Our first public date" Juliette said quietly with a little squeal. It felt so good to be parading around town with her girlfriend. "Table for two please, by the window" she said to the hostess. She wanted to people watch, and she wanted people to watch her and Stevie. The two girls sat across from each other and Juliette quickly scanned the menu, "let's start with fried pickles for sure." Juliette looked across the table at Stevie, she was so beautiful. "Have I told you today just how pretty you are? Because you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen" she said as she reached across the table to hold her hand.

Stevie's smile couldn't possibly get any wider once Juliette brought up that this was their first public date. "It's really come full circle now." She was referring to the fact that their first time hanging out in person was at the diner back home. Where Juliette ate her fries with a fork and knife. It's was adorable. Once they were seated, Stevie opened up a menu for herself and nodded in agreement with her girlfriend, "Hell yeah." Juliette's compliments never got old, it was like she was hearing them for the first time. She squeezed the girl's hand gently and smiled, "Oh stop, you're gonna make me blush in front of all these people. How embarrassing." she said jokingly. "Besides, the real beauty is sitting right in front of me. I know I told you that you'd get even more beautiful before you came out here but you didn't have show off like this." she teased. "You're pretty much the whole package. Minus the driving skills, but that's where I come in. We make a pretty great duo, huh?"

Juliette herself blushed at Stevie saying she was going to blush, it was contagious. "My bet that you were going to be more gorgeous? No, I think I definitely won" said Juliette as she poured them both water. "I totally have driving skills, no one said they had to be good" she teased kindly. It felt so amazing to be seated across from her, it felt like it was never going to get old. Then she remembered that this was only for the weekend, and her heart hurt a little. But she decided to live in the moment, and the moment was good. "So what are our plans for tonight?" Juliette inquired. She knew Stevie couldn't help but whip up something good, and if not her ... then Wren, Kyle, and Rose most definitely did something for the two of them. They were good friends like that.

Stevie could feel the butterflies in her stomach when Juliette said she was more gorgeous now. Eventually the honeymoon phase fades away, but she felt like it never did when she was with Juliette. Being away from her for this long only made being with her right now even more special. Juliette could just look her in the eyes long enough, and she'd melt. "You know what? That is true. You do have the skill, serving out of lanes. That's something." she said with a laugh. "So we might have a performance for you. I mean it's for everyone, but let's be real, it's mainly for you. Just don't tell Chase or Jonah that. They might get all sulky." she whispered as if it were some kind of secret. "We got some drinks before leaving, so you could go as crazy as you want." Stevie always found it funny how much of a lightweight Juliette was. "But after, I have a surprise for you.

Juliette smiled, "I'm sure they will not be heartbroken that it's mostly for me. But you brought like a whole bus full of people. The place we're staying must be insane to house everyone and their everyones" said the girl, her face creasing around her eyes from smiling so hard. "I think I'll take it easy, I want to remember everything. One drink won't send me falling over. But to be fair, I haven't had any alcohol since I got here. So don't hold me to the not falling over thing". Hearing that Stevie had a surprise for her was very exciting, "A surprise? But you being here is the surprise! I don't have anything to give you except for time, and love, and affection. You should have warned me!" said the girl. She was happy that it had been a surprise, because she would have talked Florence into an early grave by never shutting up about Stevie coming. She also would have gotten so nervous she probably wouldn't have even been able to snack, which was a crime.

"You're gonna love it. Wren and Rose picked it out, and you know Rose, she's gonna get the best place possible. We all pitched in, but it did help that Gabrielle's family is fucking loaded." Everyone was pretty well off, so money was never an issue when it came to people in Hastings. Stevie let out a small laugh as Juliette mentioned that she hadn't drank the whole time she was in Washington. "Don't worry, I'll make sure we won't get as wasted as we did that one time at the club." she referred to, the one and only, Twisted Tuesday. "I'll also make sure to catch you if you fall over. Don't worry, babe, you're in good hands." she said with a relaxed smile. "Getting your time, love, and affection? That's a gift in itself. Who knew I was so lucky? But I think you'll enjoy this." Stevie had written Juliette a song while she was away and thankfully, she had finished it up right before this roadtrip was set up. "We could also finish what we started a while back." she spoke slowly, not trying to be too direct. Not only were they in public, but the memory of their almost-first time was ruined quite a bit. "If you want of course, no pressure. Seriously. I'm just glad I'm with you right now."

Juliette squealed quietly, she was just so excited that everyone was here. All of her people, "I cannot wait to see it, and I'm sure the view is amazing." She hoped Stevie didn't put much money into this trip, that would make her feel really bad. Juliette assumed that their friends had hopefully and respectfully taken care of everything. "I'm sure I'll think of some way to repay the gift. I have time and a credit card, and Gabrielle and Marina. I will have to spend time with them, and also Jonah" said the girl, selfishly she wanted to spend all of her time with Stevie. But she missed her friends too and she knew she would regret it. Juliette knew that her girlfriend wasn't trying to be direct, she was so cute and casual. But Juliette had been thinking about what they started nonstop since they were rudely interrupted and lives were destroyed, "Of course I want to finish what we started, or what didn't get started. Trust me, I am beyond ready. Not to be aggressive about it, but I am not interested in being timid. I am so in love with you, and if that means being assertive for the first time in my entire life. I am going to do it." Juliette's cheeks felt like they were on fire as she rambled. She had never been so clear, but this was very important.

"No need, you've been through a lot." Stevie shook her head. Yes, they were both dealing with the long distance, but Juliette truly got the short end of the stick here. She was glad her girlfriend had met a friend like Florence, but the idea of her being shipped off to a boarding school pained her every time she thought of it. "Besides, what more could I ask for? I have you, right here right now. Everything's perfect." she said, looking deeply into the other girl's eyes. "Oh forsure, they've all missed you like crazy. Jonah had mentioned how sitting in silence with other people just doesn't feel the same? Probably because there's no such thing as sitting in silence when he's around Chase all the time." she chuckled. "I'll chill with Wren and Rose, even though he'll probably be with Chanel most of the time." Stevie was just so glad they all got to hangout together as a big group. They usually did these kind of things pretty often, but it never felt right when Juliette wasn't there. Stevie smiled at her girlfriend, she of course didn't mind how this night would turn out, but she wanted Juliette so bad, especially after being so close beforehand. "No, be as aggressive as you want. I love when you try to give off top energy." she nodded. "All jokes aside though, I really love you. So much. I'll make sure the night is perfect."

Chase being quiet was a funny thing to think about, "I'm sure he intends to be quiet and then just starts talking out of nowhere" she said with a little laugh. She wasn't super excited that Chanel was here, but she knew that this trip was about her and Stevie. Wren would keep her occupied enough, and there were plenty of both of their friends here. Juliette had to laugh, "top energy? Don't be getting any ideas about how intense I'm being right now, I know I'll be back to my timid bottom energy the second we're behind closed doors and all thoughts of talking big game are going to be out the window." She smiled when Stevie said she loved her and wanted to make the night perfect, "There's no such thing as perfect, I'm just going to be happy to be there with you. Just remember that I love you and even though I don't know what I'm doing, I am still very very cute." The two ate their lunch and had a wonderful montage worthy time of laughing and smiling and complimenting. Everything you could want out of a first date, and Juliette paid before the two of them were off again. //TBC

reunited pt 2 || juliette and stevie

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: the quad // late march.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: juliette x stevie.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒: none.

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: she finally sees her in the flesh.

Juliette got out her hammock to put up in between two trees she had been eyeing for a while. Today was the perfect temperature to finally be back outside again. She turned on her little bluetooth speaker and started to play Something Good Can Work by Two Door Cinema Club as she continued to set up the hammock. Jonah made a joke as the girl finagled with the straps around the trees, and Juliette was unapologetically laughing and having a good time. The sun felt beautiful as she let herself finally breathe and enjoy life. Since she had gotten here Juliette had felt like she couldn't catch her breath. In this moment, she felt free. She got herself and Jonah up into the hammock. Sitting with her legs dangling off the side, she thumbed through a poetry book and smiled. She loved the feeling of the sun on her skin, and the words were sweeter than honey. This year was going to be all hers, and she didn't need to hide anymore. The girl looked to her phone and unblocked Stevie on social media. If Stevie was looking for her, she would see her. If she didn't want to look, that was okay too. It was time to focus on Juliette again, and to not be so afraid.

Stevie finally finished classes for the day and for the first time, she left not feeling completely drained. It was quite the opposite actually. Her presentation in her last class turned out great so it left her pretty pumped. Being able to talk about what she loved the most always got her going. Music just did that to Stevie, it fueled her. As she put her earphones in, she put one of her playlists on shuffle. Everything just seemed to be going so well lately. Finally. For the past two years, she had been so stuck. Constantly hoping for something that was never going to happen again. Having her first loved ripped away from her left her completely empty inside. There was so much guilt and regret, but she started to realize that there was still so much to live for. She had her family, her friends, and her music. She had even met June and things were going so well with her. She was starting to feel happy again in her life, and she hoped Juliette was happy too. Even though they weren't together anymore, they were at some point, and Stevie would hold those memories close to her heart forever. But it was time to let go. As she was walking through the quad, she began to type in her band's groupchat to see if any of them were free to hangout, making sure to look up every once in a while so she didn't bump into anyone. Then the next song started to play. Sofia by Clairo. She hadn't heard the song in a very long time, and that was mostly a choice on her part. Clairo's music usually reminded Stevie of Juliette, but Sofia was practically their song. It hurt too much to listen to it before, but in this moment, it didn't so much. It felt like that was some kind of sign that she really was letting go. As she looked up, she noticed Jonah and they made eye contact for a second. She gave him a friendly smile but could see the absolute terror on his face. It wasn't until her eyes shifted to the person next to him that she realized what was up with him. There she was. It was her. Juliette Hastings. Stevie froze in place, she felt like everything in the world had stopped, but Juliette. Hearing that familiar laugh from a distance, it made Stevie's heart skip a beat. And just like that, the song slowed down in her ears, and the lyrics couldn't ring any louder. But oh my God, I think I'm in love with you. Stevie finally caught her breath and turned the other way. It was all just a little too much to process. Without thinking, she exited out the imessage app and opened up instagram. She needed answers.

parting is such sweet sorrow || juliette and stevie

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: montag’s room // early spring of junior year.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: juliette x stevie.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒: sadness.

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: after being caught, juliette says goodbye before leaving for boarding school.

Juliette stepped back from her brother's computer screen and took a deep breath. He was pacing around the room, "This is so fucking stupid" said the boy under his breath. "There's no point at getting mad Montague" his sister replied, absolutely defeated. She had spent the whole day crying and packing, their housekeeper just kept dropping off folded laundry for her to put into her luggage. "There's nothing either of us can do, and do not say you're going to tell parents about what you get up to. It'll only make things worse for both of us" she pleaded. Before she knew it there was a tap on the window, "Okay, go to my room and play music and lock the door like we talked about. Thank you so much" she said putting her hand on her brother's shoulder before she pulled him into a hug. "Not to be gay, but I am going to miss you J" said the boy as he hugged her back. "Don't be gay, you'll get kicked out of the house" she said, laughing a little as her eyes expelled a few tears. She wiped them as she opened the window, "Hello my love" she said quietly as Montag headed to her room, hearing the distant sound of Clairo playing from her door across the hall.

As soon as Stevie finished messaging Juliette on discord, she grabbed her keys and ran downstairs. Her parents knew that she had been in a mood throughout the weekend but they didn't pry too much. They were working on her mother's ceramics when they saw her head towards the front door, "Where you goin', butterbean?" her mother asked. "Juliette's house." she said in a rush. Her parents looked at each other with a smile on their faces. They were so happy for their daughter, and they hoped Juliette would bring her out of the mood she was in. Stevie hadn't told them about what went down at the Hastings house, not yet. "Tell her we say hi. Oh, speaking of, your package came in." Stevie looked back at her dad after he spoke as he pointed to the package that was placed on the table. She quickly opened it and put what she needed in the pocket of her overalls. "Love you guys, bye." she said before heading out and biking her way over to Juliette's house. Stevie made her way towards the forrest next to the house, Juliette had told her about how people were always larping around there. It seemed like a good place to hide her bike. She then climbed up the tree and got on the balcony before knocking on the window. "Hey, babe." she said with a sad smile on her face. Even in times like this, Juliette always brought a smile to Stevie's face. She made her way inside the house and noticed Montag leaving the room, she reminded herself to thank him later. "I love you." she pushed Juliette's hair back before kissing the girl softly on the lips. "Everything's gonna be fine. Before you know it, you'll be back." she told her girlfriend, trying to remain as positive as she could.

Juliette's whole heart filled with warmth when Stevie said i love you, it brought a sad smile to her face as well, "I love you" she replied. She felt like she had never meant it more. The tall girl's hands were moving her hair back and her lips were on hers. She thought she would never get the chance to kiss her again, this was more than enough for her. The chance to say goodbye. Juliette pressed her forehead to the other girl's her hand on the back of her neck. "I don't think this is a see you later alligator kind of moment" said the girl, a tear falling onto her cheek. "This is a big goodbye" she said, as her breath got shaky. It felt like she couldn't breathe at all, the air entering her lungs like a petulant child who was trying to stifle a sob. "And, I, I know that we're young and dumb and whatever. But you are the great love of my life, Stevie Summers" she said as she ran her thumb up and down the nape of Stevie's neck, "I am going to think about you every day for the rest of my life, and that is a promise". Tears were fully flowing now, there was not an ounce of positivity in her system. There was no escaping this fate.

Stevie wanted to imagine that there was some way all of this would work out. She knew Juliette was leaving, but a big part of her hadn't accepted that. In her head, she would see her in school like always, sitting at the front of the class with her cute skirts. They'd message each other late into the night before falling asleep with her laptop next to her. She'd make her a new playlist and maybe even a new song. Everything was so perfect, why did it have to end like this? This is a big goodbye. She could feel a tight pain in her chest as she heard Juliette speak. The words crushed her. Stevie felt the tears fall down her face, but let out a laugh anyways as Juliette said that she was the great love of her life. To love and to be loved back so intensely, it was a feeling like no other. "I'm so grateful I got to meet you, Juliette Hastings. You've... You've done so much for me. Thank you. I love you so much." she said, looking deep into the girl's eyes. "I will always love you." she said truthfully. There would be no one like Juliette. Not ever. "I have something for you." she took her hands off the girl and into her pocket. "I wanted to give this to you last week, but the damn package got delayed." In her hand was a small box with necklaces in it. One with Juliette's initials and the other with Stevie's. "What shit timing."

When Juliette next returned to Hastings Village ... Stevie might already be off and gone. She was going to miss that face everyday for an eternity. How could you already miss someone when they're right in front of you? How did her heart feel so full that it felt like that was what was causing it to break? "If I could do any of it again, all I would want is more time. I can't believe how stupid I was, I wasted so much time hiding behind my computer" she said as she put her hand on the other girls face and let out a sob. She had been so selfish and so guarded, with the person who loved her the most. Who she loved the most. The girl gave her a box, and Juliette lit up when she opened it. It was the most perfect thing in the world, because it was from her. "I love it, and I love you. Have I said that enough? Because I want to say it so much that it loses it's meaning entirely and you're sick of hearing it. I love you, Stevie Summers" said the girl as she kissed the other girl's cheek. "I don't think I can thank you enough for loving me, ya know?" she said as tears flowed down her face, adorned with a smile. It felt so good to be near her, even if their time was ending.

"Stop, please." Stevie shook her head, trying to wipe the tears from Juliette's face as if she weren't crying as well. She didn't want Juliette to carry that kind of guilt with her because there was nothing to be guilty of. "There was no time wasted. The whole time we were with each other." she spoke softly. "It doesn't matter if we weren't with each other physically. If it hadn't been for you being on the computer, we may have never ended up together." That wasn't something she fully believed though. It was corny, especially to be thinking this at their age, but it almost felt like the two were soulmates. They were always meant for each other. If they hadn't met online, something else would have brought them together. "Besides, our whole online romance is pretty special. Sounds like it came straight out of a movie." she smiled as she tried wiping her own tears this time. A failed attempt though, as she continued to cry. "I could never get sick of hearing you say that, no matter how many times you tell me. I love you too, Juliette Hastings." she said after Juliette kissed her on the cheek. She took the necklace with Stevie's initials on it and held it up, "I put your necklace on for you, and you do the same for me?" she suggested.

Juliette bit her lip out of instinct, tasting the salt on her mouth from Stevie's tears. "I would love that" she said as she turned around and moved her hair to the side so that Stevie could put the necklace on her. She looked down at it and smiled before walking over to Montag's bed and climbing up onto her knees, "Do you think I'll tall enough to not accidentally choke you?" she said with a little smirk appearing on her face. "My tall lady" said the girl taking her hand and bringing her closer, kissing her softly on the lips. She put her hands on the girl's shoulders and turned her around, unclasping the necklace and locking it behind Stevie's neck. After, she put her arms around her from behind and pulled her back onto the bed, falling backwards herself. She turned to face the other girl, resting her head on her hand to prop it up. "I don't want to go" she said weakly.

Stevie placed the necklace around Juliette's neck, sniffling a bit as she thought about how excited she was to give her girlfriend this gift. This was supposed to be a happy moment, and now she was barely going to see Juliette wearing it. Stevie was pretty grateful that it had came into today, she would have been a complete mess if it arrived any later. They'll at least have this with them while they were separated. She smiled as she watched the girl get up on the bed, it was adorable. Everything about her was. "I trust you." she said with a smile before gently kissing her back. Her heart ached thinking about how these were their last moments together. She wouldn't be able to hold her or kiss her, not even send a message. Stevie turned around so Juliette can put the necklace on for her, but after she turned back around, Juliette was already pulling her onto the bed. It broke her heard to hear that Juliette didn't want to leave. "I don't want you to go either." she admitted as she tucked some of Juliette's hair behind her ear. "I wish I could do something so you could stay."

These were the final hours, she had no idea how long Stevie could stay. Luckily Montag was playing Juliette in her room, but she didn't know how long that could last for. "We can message all the time. Yeah, there's probably like no cell service, but I will have to have a computer. It's school" said Juliette, she had no idea how strict her new school was. But when there's a will ... there is a way. She would message Stevie Summers whenever she could, "If you want that, you know. I know things can get messy, but I think it's worth the risk. If you want a clean break, we can do that. I promise you, it's whatever will make you happy makes me happy" Juliette rambled, snuggling up to Stevie, putting her head on the other girl's chest. She could hear her heartbeat, it was soothing. She knew she said she was okay with a clean break, but she didn't know if her heart could take any more today.

Stevie looked at Juliette with a sad smile as she listened to her coming up with some way for them to communicate. She would do anything to keep this relationship going, Juliette was all she wanted. She'd wait for her, she didn't care. Her smile faded as the girl gave out the suggestion that they could completely end things right now if Stevie really wanted to. "No, I want to make this work. I know we can." she said, trying to stay as hopeful as possible. They talked online for two years, what's a couple more? She held onto Juliette tightly as she ran her fingers through the girl's hair. "As fuckin' corny as it is, you'll always be worth the risk."

Juliette looked up at the girl as she held her tight, "I just want to be with you. Every day, even if I don't get to hug you or kiss you. I just want to be with you, even if it's online" said the girl, starting to cry again. "I know it's selfish and I know it's going to hurt but we can make it work. I know we can. If it is ever too much, we should have a word. A word we never use unless we're calling it. I don't know what it should be, I feel like I'm forgetting every word I've ever known" she rambled, holding onto Stevie tighter and tighter. Her heart ached, her lungs hurt. She felt like she couldn't breathe. "Just one word and we have to promise to follow it" said the girl, swallowing hard. "A word I am never going to want to say, and never will say. But just in case, if one of us is hurting too much." She couldn't imagine a time where she wouldn't want to be with Stevie, she needed her. She made Juliette who she was. She had changed everything.

The sound of Juliette crying only made Stevie cry as well, this was all happening too fast. "It's not selfish, this is what I want too. I don't want to give up on us." she told her. She couldn't fathom the idea of them not even trying. She had to at least try, she wanted to. This was the only option they had to keep their relationship going. "R-Right. Yeah, a safe word." It made sense for them to acknowledge the possibility that this wouldn't work out between them, but Stevie didn't want to think of that. She stayed silent for a moment, trying to figure out some word to use. She didn't want to completely disagree with the idea, she needed to be realistic, but picturing that situation hurt too much. "Uh, I don't know," she paused, she could hear how shaky her voice was getting. "Bygone?" she suggested. Stevie never used the word anyways, and she knew she would never use it. There was no way.

Of course she didn't want to think about them breaking up, but they needed a word that said I love you but we have to stop. If they spoke that word, it would mean they couldn't talk about it or fight about it. It was important to have it set up. "Now my least favorite word in the english language, officially" said Juliette as she nodded. "I love you so much Stevie, it hurts" said the brunette. She was latched on. Juliette was not one for physical contact most of the time, but with Stevie it was different. She felt like she was recharged every time they even held hands. Juliette wanted to stay here forever, just stuck on this girl. Her beautiful girl. The most beautiful girl.

"Same, never going to say it again." Stevie shook her head, believing that to be the truth. She couldn't ever see herself wanting to breakup with Juliette. Being apart was going to be difficult, but it would be all worth it in the end. She would do anything for Juliette. "I love you too. So much." Stevie said back, her voice cracking a bit. They were so happy a few days ago, and to think that it all turned out like this. It was crushing her. She had found someone so loving and gentle, someone she trusted with her whole heart, and the universe was ripping her away from Stevie. "Do you know what time you're leaving tomorrow? Do you think I'll have time to sneak in one last goodbye, or... or is this it?"

Juliette knew she had an 8 am flight, and breakfast with her family before hand. This really was it. She didn't know how to tell Stevie, so she pulled the girls lips to hers to distract her. To distract herself as well. She never felt really at home surrounded by these walls, she felt at home in front of her laptop talking to Stevie. She felt at home when she felt the familiar buzz from her cell phone against her chest as she carried her books from class to class, her phone delicately placed on top so that she could read a message at the drop of a hat. She felt at home in her arms. She made the world so much less lonely, and she was about to be lonely again. "I leave at 8 am, and we have family breakfast beforehand" she whispered quietly as she nuzzled into the crook of the other girls neck, letting out a defeated breath. "So this is it, for now" she said, praying that someday she would be able to see her again. Two years wasn't that long. They could pick the same college, and then they would be together full time. That would be the dream.

Stevie deepened the kiss the moment their lips met, she knew these would be the last kisses they would share for a very long time. Worst-case scenario, it would be the last ever. Being with Juliette, it just felt like it was where Stevie belonged. At times, she felt so out of place. When it came to where she lived, the family she had, she always seemed like some kind of outsider. Juliette never made her feel like that, she was the happiest when she was with her. Online or in person. Her chances to see Juliette right before she left the next morning already seemed slim, but hearing Juliette say that this was it felt like a punch to the gut. She held onto the girl and tried to control her breathing a bit, if she didn't, she knew she'd let out a terrible sob. "For now." she repeated. "I won't give up on us." she sat up so she could look Juliette in the eyes. "I promise." she said as she pushed the girl's hair back to get a good look at her before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. Sometimes when Stevie looked at her long enough, she'd think about how crazy it was that she found someone so beautiful, inside and out.

Juliette took the other girl's hand and held it with both of her hands, "Who knows, maybe I'll finally get my growth spurt and I'll tower over you" she teased, "you'll hardly recognize me". The second half of her joke hurt, the idea that Stevie, her Stevie, wouldn't recognize her. A smile still on her tear stained face, she looked at the other girl for a moment. "But have no fear, there will be outfit updates, and a uniform" said Juliette, "so obviously there will be pictures". She thought about the photos she had printed of Stevie, already packed away with her things. "You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me" she said softly, pulling her hand closer to her mouth to give it a kiss. "My parents are going to realize they're ridiculous and send me back here before you know it. No way they're going to make me live in the woods for the summers. It's barbaric. Me? In the woods? I may perish" she said dramatically.

"You? Taller than me? That would be the shock of the century." she chuckled as she thought about it. "I'd know those legs anywhere, you kiddin' me?" she shook her head as she smiled. Stevie Summers not recognizing Juliette Hastings? Could never happen. Hearing about the outfit updates and uniforms was some kind of a silver lining. Stevie loved a good outfit pic from her girlfriend, she had the cutest sense of style. "And I'll send videos whenever I come up with a song. I'll sing in them too, just for an added bonus." Stevie didn't sing too much, but she was never nervous around Juliette. She watched as her girlfriend kissed her hand. That, matched with her words, sent chills down her spine. Any kind of touch from Juliette always felt like the first time, she never got tired of it. "Maybe your cousin's parents can knock some sense into them?" she suggested lightheartedly. "I'm sure they'll want to see you for the summers anyways. They'll miss you so much, they'll for sure cave."

There was this kind of gleeful smile that appeared on Juliette's face when her girlfriend said she would sing, her cheeks ached and little lines appeared around her eyes. Her eyes were filled with a look of love and pure joy, "You're going to sing for me?" she said, practically glowing. Juliette dropped the girl's hand and encapsulated her in a hug, peppering kisses all over her face. "You make me the happiest I have ever been in my entire life" she said, and it was true. She had never been this happy. Everything good had come to her with Stevie, before she only had Montag and Jonah ... and Montag wasn't exactly a rock in her life. He had his moments, but still. "I'm taking bets now, the next time I see you, you are going to be even more beautiful than I remember. Which seems impossible, but I am willing to bet against the odds" she said sweetly. She wanted to focus on when they would finally see each other again.

"As many videos as you want." Stevie said sweetly. The look on Juliette's face made her forget the situation they were in for a short moment. She took every kiss her girlfriend was giving her with a big smile on her face. It was just like a normal day for them, like nothing in the world could go wrong when she was with her. "I can't even explain in words what you've done for my life." she spoke softly before kissing Juliette deeply. If it wasn't for Juliette, Stevie wouldn't be the person that she was today. She still had a lot to work on, but she was so different from who she was before meeting the girl. Stevie was so worried about what people thought and did anything to please others. She felt like she had to do what they said just so she'd be liked, because being just herself wasn't enough. Being from the family she was in was already such an embarrassment. But Juliette loved her for who she was and, in time, Stevie began to love herself too. "Nah, I think that'll be all you, I'm willing to bet money on it. We're both pretty hot, but we all know you're the pretty one in this relationship." she chuckled.

When Stevie kissed her, even on a regular day, she felt like she was on cloud 9. It was like being kissed for the first time, only better because ... less spit or teeth or whatever was wrong with every person's first kiss. When Stevie said that she was the pretty one in the relationship, Juliette put her hands on either side of the other girl's face and looked at her very sternly. "You stop that, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen on the entire planet. You are prettier than poetry, Stevie Summers" she said before pulling her in for another kiss. Then her discord started blowing up. Juliette quickly ran over to the computer and read Montag's message. Five more minutes. "Five minute warning from Montag, parents are finishing their program and are coming upstairs to check on my packing in ten and I need to be safely back in my room. How do you want to use your last five minutes?" Juliette asked in a panic. She wanted these last five minutes to last a lifetime, and she didn't know how to use it. Part of her wanted to spend it crying, the other answer was definitely making out, another being that Juliette should just run away, and of course there was just saying I love you like a million times.

Stevie chuckled as Juliette grabbed her face to tell her how beautiful she was, but her last comment made her heart skip a beat. You are prettier than poetry, Stevie Summers. Her expression softened into a small, genuine smile before their lips met. She looked over at Juliette once she headed towards the computer to check her discord. Five minutes. This was it. It was all coming to end, but Stevie tried her best to keep herself calm. For her and her girlfriend's sake. "Um, I don't know." she looked around the room as if she was looking for something, but they were in Montag's room. There was nothing useful here. "I would sing to you one last time if I had my fucking guitar." she forced a laugh as her eyes started to well up. It was hitting her hard now. Juliette was really leaving, and she wasn't going to see her, at least until summer, and that was only if they were lucky. This might be the last time she ever sees her. What if Juliette loved her time over there and wanted to stay? What if they end up graduating and she's still not back? They'll go to different colleges. There might not be any hope for them at that point. "I love you so much. So fucking much, Juliette Hastings." she said as she got up from the bed and wrapped her arms around the girl tightly. "Everyone's gonna love you over there, I just know it."

The girl paced for a moment while they figured out what they wanted to do. It was so sweet that Stevie wanted to sing to her, but she didn't want to say goodbye at all. Juliette loved the tight squeeze she was getting, and she moved her arms up to around Stevie's neck and jumped up into her arms, wrapping her legs around the other girl. "I love you so much" said Juliette, looking at her girlfriend. Her girlfriend. Her girlfriend who wanted to stay with her even though everything had gone wrong. "I don't want everyone to love me, I want to be here with you" whined the brunette, snuggling into the crook of Stevie's neck. Life was truly so unfair. "Just um, don't say goodbye okay? It's just a see you soon" she said, placing a small kiss on her collarbone. "And the next time I see you? More intense make out than the ping pong table" she said with a smile. That was maybe the most electric kiss she had ever received in her life. She had been reeling for hours over it.

Stevie placed a hand under Juliette's thigh to support her up as she wrapped her legs around Stevie's body. She tried to take in the sight that was right in front of her. Sure, she'd see the girl in pictures while she was away, but this was the last time she was able to be this close to her. They were so used to only talking online, that being with Juliette in person made it even more special. "I'll be there with you." she tried to reassure her girlfriend the best she could. "I'll be blowing up your phone 24/7, don't you worry about it." she promised with a smile. "Yeah. I'll see you soon." she said softly before putting the girl down and gently kissing her forehead. Stevie couldn't help but laugh a bit when their ping pong table kiss was brought up. Sometimes it felt like that happened just the other day, but other times it seemed so long ago. It felt like she had been with Juliette for a whole lifetime, and she didn't want it to end. She wouldn't let it. "I'm up for that challenge. I won't disappoint, babe."

Juliette looked at the other girl, doing her best to savor these last moments. She was never one for physical affection before, but being with Stevie changed that for her. She had someone that she wanted to be physically in the same room with at all times, that kind of intimacy was unmatched. She pulled Stevie in for another hug. "I think our time is up" she whispered, it hurt her lungs to say it. "Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow" quoted Juliette as she opened the window again, tears filling up in her eyes. She couldn't believe time had been so cruel to them, they had hardly been together for a few months in person. She wanted a lifetime with this girl, she made everything worth it.

Stevie closed her eyes while holding onto Juliette as she nodded in response, she couldn't even speak. It was too painful. Hearing Juliette quote Shakespeare put a small smile on her face, even in times like this, she still managed to act adorable. She walked over to the her girlfriend and cupped the sides of her face to give her one last kiss. "I'll see you around, Hastings." she looked at the girl with glossy eyes before giving a playful wink. Once she was out the window and on the balcony, she turned around to look at Juliette, "I love you." she managed to get the words out without completely breaking down. She felt like a broken record at this point, but she didn't care. Telling Juliette that she loved her would never lose its meaning, no matter how many times she said it. Stevie then climbed down the tree she came from and walked into the forest to get her bike. Every step she took broke her a little more inside. Before riding off, she let herself cry for a moment. It was all so unfair, and Juliette had to be the one to suffer. If Stevie could take her place, she would in a heartbeat. But there was nothing she could do to fix this. Once summer rolled around though, everything would go back to the way it was. She would be with Juliette again. All Stevie had to do was wait. It would hurt, but it would be worth it in the end. Juliette Hastings would always be worth it.

Juliette kissed Stevie back softly, knowing it was their last kiss. Their last kiss for now, she reminded herself. "Can't wait, Summers" she replied. She held back her sniffling as she watched the tallest most beautiful girl of all time leave her brother's room and stand out on the balcony. Juliette watched her until she couldn't see her anymore, not able to take her eyes off of her. She quickly and quietly walked to her room and knocked softly so Montag would let her in. When he opened the door, she collapsed into his arms sobbing. "You two are going to be okay" said Montag as he rubbed her back. Juliette felt like her whole world was falling apart. "I don't know how I'm going to wake up tomorrow" she said, defeated by everything. "Well, you have to. We all have to" said Montag, still holding her up. "Cmon, let's get you packed before Mom comes in and tries to do it" said the boy as he headed over to her trunk and opened it up. //END
