[another-dra-anew]

poor little mae mae im sure it won't be too difficult!

Maeda, narrating - Maybe I should just think of some universal gifts…

Maeda - …Could get her a scarf, which I’ve never seen her wear, or a hat, which I’ve never seen her wear.

Maeda - Really, how many lovely ideas I have.

~*~

Kurokawa - What are we doing to wrap up the day today?

Tsurugi - I didn’t bother coming up with anything…

Tsurugi - I figured now would be a good time to talk about our plans for break, while we’re all together.

Tsurugi - Then, maybe we can plan some stuff to do as a class around everyone’s schedule?

Maki - Past the other thing you already planned for us to do against our will?

Tsurugi - …Another day, another forcing people to hang out!

Tsurugi - Yayyy the illusion of choice, yayyy…

Uehara - Tsurugi-

Tsurugi - Yayyyyy mandatory group time, yayyyyyy!!!

Uehara - …Okay, Tsu.

Uehara - I’m not really sure what I’m doing day of, but I agreed to give a sermon on the 24th.

Uehara - I can already feel the throat pain…

Uehara - I’ll be around campus though!

Inori, doubting Uehara - …”Agreed” to a sermon.

Uehara - Tsurugi, can you do the thing again.

Tsurugi - I love having choice and being in control of the things I do.

Tsurugi - Hopes Peak is such a great place to be for self-discovery!

Uehara - That sums it up, Tsu gets it.

Inori - Tsurugi is part of the problem.

Tsurugi - I am no government-funded entity!

Tsurugi - …I’m making Juu pay for the gifts I’m getting, and he works for the government, so there’s that…

Tsurugi - But I think I’m allowed to take money from his pockets!

Tsurugi - I deserve it.

Tomori - When you say you’re making him pay, and taking money from his pockets,

Tomori - Are you twisting his arm to get him to pay, or stealing his wallet?

Tsurugi - Time will tell…

Tsurugi - Anyways, Tomori, what are your plans again?

Tomori - I’m leaving sometime on the 23rd, and I should be back on the third day of January.

Tomori - Do I pick someone to share next, or will people just speak up?

Tsurugi - Uhm…

Tsurugi - Just pick someone, less messy.

Tomori - Got it. Maki?

Maki - …

Maki - I’m going home, I think. 

Maki - I leave the 22nd, it remains to be seen when I’ll be back.

Maki - No later than the second or third though.

Maki - Higa, your turn.

Higa - I’m heading to see my dad on the 23rd, and I’ll return the 2nd. 

Ōtori - The Higa family legacy…

Yamaguchi - We’ve got the same schedule, Higa!

Maki - I’m surprised you’re not heading back sooner to spend more time with your sister.

Yamaguchi - I tried, but it didn’t really work out with everyone’s schedule.

Yamaguchi - …Higa, I’m stealing your turn to choose someone.

Yamaguchi - Mekaru, what are you up to?

Mekaru - Oh!

Mekaru - I’m going, actually… I’ll be gone from the 24th to the first, 

Mekaru - Though, I may not make it back until the second… but I’m leaving on the first.

Mekaru - I’d be back sooner, but my friend, Okada, wants me to accompany her on New Years.

Tomori - Just gals being pals…

Mekaru - …Yeah?

Mekaru - Uhm… Kobashikawa, what are your plans?

Kobashikawa - …

//Kobashikawa takes a moment to reply, visibly deliberating before starting to sign.

Kobashikawa - I… I’m heading home, I won’t be on campus for the holidays.

Kobashikawa - Don’t know how long I’ll be home for, to be honest-

//He pauses again, Ōtori filling in what he seemed to be signing before he stopped. After a brief pause, Kobashikawa starts up again, signing quickly.

Kobashikawa - Honestly, I may try to take up some flights in-between holidays… or maybe even before?

Ōtori - …Are you working out what airports you want to go to?

Kobashikawa - Mhm. Go ahead and share your holiday plans, I’m done talking!

Ōtori - I need to unionize- you know, I’m not a paid translator! That’s unfair.

Kobashikawa - No one would pay you for the quality of work you provide.

Ōtori - …Anyways, 

Kobashikawa - Lol.

Ōtori - I’m going on the 21st, actually. I want to be home early enough to set up shop on the 22nd.

Ōtori - Then I think I’ll be back on the 3rd.

Tomori - I think that’s the largest stretch so far…

//Tsurugi is rapidly typing on his phone.

Tsurugi - It is! Veeery long, comparatively.

Ōtori - …Maeda, what are you doing for break?

Maeda - …

Maeda - …

Maeda - I should call my family, at the least…

Maeda - How… would I get back…

Maeda - …

Taira - Maeda, if it snows, I want to have a snowball fight with you.

Taira - Also, I want to go sledding, but I don’t want to go on my own, so you can come too, and watch.

Taira - Maeda and I are staying on campus for the holidays.

Ōtori - …

Tsurugi - …Yeah, sure, why not.

Hatano - I’m… gonna share now.

Hatano - I’m heading home! I’m excited to see my dad, and my siblings.

Hatano - I’ll be there on the 23rd, and I should be back to campus late on the 2nd, or early on the 3rd.

Hatano - Iranami, you know what you’re doing yet?

Iranami - …

Iranami - I… I should be on campus at least until the 20th…

Iranami - Really, it’s still up in the air…

Hatano - Ah…

Iranami - …

Iranami - Who all hasn’t shared, yet?

Kurokawa - I’ll go.

Kurokawa - …Not that I have a whole lot of definitive stuff to share…

Kurokawa - The school wants me to do something, like with Uehara, but Kisaragi is wanted back home for end of the year stuff.

Kurokawa - And Dad doesn’t like the thought of us traveling alone, at separate times,

Kurokawa - So I’m trying to get the school to let me run whatever they want me to do do online, on my own,

Kurokawa - Since it’s easy to do things on my own terms, and works with Kisaragi’s plans.

Kurokawa - Uhhh��

Kisaragi - Inori.

Kurokawa - Huh?

Kisaragi - Inori hasn’t been asked yet.

Kurokawa - Oh! Yeah, yeah, that’s right.

Kurokawa - Well, Inori?

Inori - I’m staying.

Inori - I want to be available for any emergencies brought on by malfunctioning gifts.

Yamaguchi - Free legal advice; you really shouldn’t be openly saying stuff like that.

Inori - I hope I get sued. 

Inori - I hope I get sued for my every penny and lose my financial security and my reputation and my medical license.

Yamaguchi - Jesus Christ…

Tsurugi - Aaand, I’ve got everyone’s schedule down.

Tsurugi - My family is close enough I can just travel for the day, so I’m not making a big trip, won’t really be gone.

Tsurugi - …Maybe I’ll run down tonight, actually…

Tsurugi - I miss my dog.

Uehara - I miss your dog…

Tsurugi - Do you want to come with me, if I go?

Uehara - You’re not going to head down there tonight, we both know this.

Tsurugi - …Okay, well now you’re not invited, soooo…

Tomori - Can I go with you? I miss Sunny too…

Tsurugi - Yes! We will go directly after class without saying a word to anyone else.

Uehara - I feel excluded by my classmates, I want to report this to my class rep…

Tsurugi - Suck it up.

Uehara - …My dear class rep is always so kind and inspiring.

Tsurugi - …

Tsurugi - Yeah, I can’t think of a way to keep this bit going.

Tsurugi - In all seriousness though, I want to go look at the market the upperclassmen are doing…

Tsurugi - It isn’t set up yet, but I thought it might be a good place to look around for gifts once it’s done?

Tsurugi - So I wanted to go and bother them after class.

Tomori - That sounds fun…

Tomori - We could have a day to go as a class and look around, just sometime in the next few days.

Mekaru - Is the market that big?

Tomori - No, but we could go out in town after…

Ōtori - Whoever got me should just gift me their eternal patronage of Ōtori Mart.

Kobashikawa - It’d be perfect if I were your Secret Santa… 

Kobashikawa - Even more reason to get coffee from the student store while you’re working.

Ōtori - …If you’re my secret santa, I’d like to request you cease your activity as a patron of the student store.

Kobashikawa - That’s bad business, Ōtori… 

Ōtori - I have other customers!

Kurokawa - Are any of them as dedicated and consistent as Kobashikawa, though?

Ōtori - It’s bad for his health to drink so much coffee!

Kobashikawa - …No.

Ōtori - Wh- you can’t just “no” your way out of the negative impact of multiple cups of coffee a day!

//Kobashikawa waves his hand at Ōtori dismissively.

Kurokawa - I for one support Kobashikawa’s choice to fund local businesses!

Kurokawa - Let’s ignore that the student store is an extension of Hopes Peak, and Ōtori Mart is wildly successful.

Higa - Consumers…

Tsurugi - Higa always has such amazing economic ideas, what a shame we don’t have time for them today.

Tsurugi - Okay, so we can talk later about shopping as a group, but I’m going down to the market today to ask around.

Tsurugi - …Ue, do we have a club meeting today?

Uehara - …No?

Tsurugi - …

Uehara - …

Tsurugi - …I will set a good example. I will go to my club meeting today even though I don’t want to.

Uehara - Wait, no, I think we genuinely don’t.

Uehara - Remember at the end of our last meeting, didn’t they say it was the last… until…

Uehara - …Until break is over, Tsurugi, why are you looking at me like that?

Tsurugi - …

Uehara - …You were not paying attenti-

Tsurugi - Yeah, no, not at all.

Tsurugi - Well. May the court records show that you lied to me if we get in trouble.

Uehara - Thanks, Tsu…

Tsurugi - Just kidding, we’ll fall together… get detention together!

Tsurugi - So, I’ll head down to the market when class is out, does anybody want to

come with?

Higa - No.

Mekaru - I’ll go…

Tomori - Same! It sounds fun.

Ōtori - I have a shift at the student store, but I think that’s on the way? 

Ōtori - I’ll walk with you all if we’re heading the same way.

Kobashikawa - I need to go to my dorm, personally…

Kisaragi - Same here.

Kurokawa - Hm… where’s the market?

Tsurugi - Last I heard, they were setting up in the Reserve section somewhere?

Kurokawa - Oh, I’m heading by the residential building, but I’ll walk with you guys to the gate!

Hatano - Iranami, do you want to go look at the market with everyone?

Iranami - …I…

Iranami - I actually need to run by my dorm and grab something, then I need to go…

Iranami - Sorry…

Hatano - Oh, it’s no issue!

Hatano - Is it something I can go with you too? Or walk you there?

Iranami - …No, it’s alright…

Hatano - …Okay!

Hatano - I’m going to work out at the Main Course facility.

Yamaguchi - I want to get started on packing, see if I need to get another bag…

Ōtori - Maeda, what are you planning to do?

Maeda - …I’ll go look at the market with everyone.

Taira - I have to go to a club meeting, but you all have fun~

Maki - Same, I’m busy with my club.

Tsurugi - …Ue, can you come with us?

Uehara - Uh… sure, yeah, I’ll go with.

Tsurugi, smiling - Cool, cool.

~*~

Maeda, narrating - Well, I won’t be able to watch Maki and see what she’s interested in,

Maeda - But maybe she’ll go with everyone else to look for gifts.

~*~

//We now have our first chance to explore the other plotlines we’ll be following! All options will be explored eventually, it’s just a matter of what piques your interest first.

{Follow Maeda and the others to the market}

{Make sure she’s on time}

{See if he’ll reach out today or not}

Our first sem had already ended a month ago and I have no more assessments or papers due but I still have some readings left. I'm actually half productive finishing them since I have only printed and finished some so there are still a lot. Nevertheless, I wanted to write this with the desire to tap my shoulder and appreciate myself for surviving one hell of a sem.

It was my first for college, for a degree I was not really knowledgeable, aware and sure of before. But, I was glad (idk if I'm 100% sure about this tho) that I let go of my scholarship and the science degree I thought I wanted to pursue. The financial help the scholarship can give me was actually tempting before and tbh, I regretted my decision the moment I made it. But I was reminded by my sister that if I pushed through with it, I would've been suffering more especially that now, I'm actually enjoying my degree despite the amount of essays and papers I had to write. Unbelievable, yes, but I think the essays or papers I had in my first sem equates to the amount of them I did during my senior high school. It was a lot like A LOT. Writing is my first love so my passion was there but it was mentally exhausting and it put so much pressure on me as I have my own standards in writing. There were even times when I wasn't satisfied with what I wrote. Still, I passed them even if they were half-assed, accepting the mental block I had and that was the most I could do at that time. I also came across a video on Twitter which yelled at me to allow myself to fail or mess it up and not be perfect. It was normal after all and I was lucky to have encountered that vid at the right time :)) There's also this one course which required like three to four essays a week and had a lot of readings along with the set module and it was very demanding and draining to finish all of them along with other readings and requirements from other of my courses. But after looking at my scores and reading some of my prof's comments, I knew my hard work was paying/paid off. I'm so happy I didn't give up on that (well maybe I did a little lol). And my grade for that course, I hope they bring happy news.

I also went through org applications and I was accepted and will officially be a member come second sem. I got to interact and be more close with Batch Ragsak yay! Applications were tough and draining since everything were fast-tracked but we made it! Got many sissies and brods now too, some of which are people I know from highschool or were CNHS alumni just like me hehe. I was able to help in relief operations led by my org as well.

It was a tough sem and proof was that it was the first academic related stuff I cried over (I'm sure there's more and it's not the last). Anyways, I'm still happy as I continue to learn and as my horizon continues to widen. I'm really looking forward to more info and knowledge I'll be able to pick up in the next and future sems even if they will also make me kinda give up huhu. I hope I will be able to retain them for long too (as someone who's memory is very dull). For now, I will be waiting for my grades. I will update this when I get to see all of them.

To whoever had the patience to read this, I hope you never give up. Slow progress is still progress. And don't forget that you're valid, you're not a failure and you don't have to always be okay. Take care of yourself, stay hydrated and healthy! Don't forget to take some rest too. Go slay whatever you have your heart set on. Cheers! 🍻

ud: YAYYY I GOT MY GRADES AND IM A UNIV SCHOLAR SO YEPP I HOPE IT STAYS FOR THE SECOND SEM TOO AND THE COMING YEARS. I'LL DO MY BEST, ALWAYS. 🌻

Learning to Live

I never knew how to be on my own until it was the only option I had. My childrens father had pushed me past my limits. I had let a lot slide in our relationship of the last 7 years, the drugs, the cheating, the occasional beatings, but when I came home and find him in OUR bed with his little tart of a girlfriend and drugs in the house I was officially done! That was our one agreement nothing was to come into our home and be around the kids. I silently thanked God for never letting me marry that man. As soon as I walked in and saw that I calmly turned and walked out and into my daughter's room and started packing her stuff. "Anna she doesnt mean anything to me!" Johnny said as he entered Rayne's room. I scoffed "Isn't that what they all say, Johnny you know Im not even mad anymore. We haven't loved each other in a long time and the only reason I've stayed is because I never thought I could make it on my own. But being on my own would never be as bad as watching the father of your children and a man thats supposed to love you do this right in front of you're face." I said folding Rayne's clothes and putting them in her duffle bag. "Come on dont do this! The kids won't understand." Johnny said grabbing my arm and trying to pull me up. "Let go of me Johnny!" I seethed. "You're not taking my kids away from me!" He said tightening his grip on my arm. "Like you spend time with them anyway." I remarked which earned me a backhand to the face. "Go ahead Johnny slap me around some more it wouldnt be the first time, but it'll sure as fuck be the last!" I said through gritted teeth. That earned me a black eye and a bust lip along with a few cracked ribs I'm sure of. After he was done he gotdressed and left for his afternoon shift like nothing ever happened.

Setting against my daughters bed holding my newly brused ribs all I could do was laugh, how could I be so foolish to stay in a relationship with someone like this for so damn long! I had no more tears to cry. I pulled myself up off the floor and went back to packing my daughter's duffle bag, if I wanted to have our stuff packed by the time the kids got home from school I only had a couple hours. I finished packing Rayne's duffle bags and set them by the top of the steps and moved to Jameson's room to start packing his. After I got everything packed I carried the 6 bags down to the garage and packed them into my Tahoe. After putting the bags into the suv, I went and sat on the front steps waiting for the kids to get off the bus.

Three o'clock rolled around and the bus stopped in front of the house. I watched my two beautiful babies get off and run full force towards me. "Hey momma" Jameson my seven year old greeted me as he sat down beside me. "Hey babies how was your day?" I asked trying to be as normal as I could before I completely up rooted their lives. "Good. Momma whats wrong with your eye?" My 5 year old daughter Rayne asked. She's always been the one to notice the little things "Let's go inside babe and I'll explain everything." I told them getting myself up letting out a wince from my ribs being moved.

"What's going on momma?" Rayne asked. Jameson and her looking intensely at me. "I hate to do this to you babies but...we have have to leave. There is a lot about your dad that you don't know and momma feels that this isn't a safe place for you anymore. So we're going to go on a little roadtrip." I told them holding back tears and trying to make this 'little roadtrip' fun. "Where we going?" Jameson asked. "Where do you guys wanna go?" "Let's go see Aunt Brit!" Rayne said excitedly. "Yeah, I miss her and we havent seen her since she lived in Georgia and thats been like 2 years ago." Jameson replied giving me puppy dog eyes. "Well I guess I could give her a call and shee where she living now and if she'd be up for some company for a while." I told the kids. "Yayyy!" The kids high fived and celebrated with each other. "Okay, Now I already packed your clothes so go grab whatever else you want to bring and put it in the duffle bag that's laying on top of your beds. And remember we wont be coming back here for a very long time so get the stuff you absolutely cant live without. While you guys do that I'll call Aunt Brit." I told them and they scurried up the stairs.

Setting at the bottom of the stairs I dialed Britni's number. After three rings I get an answer. "Hello" Brit greets me. "Hey B how ya been?" I asked almost on the brink of tears. Britni and I haven't talk for a couple years ever since she found out about me knowing that Johnny was cheating on me and using drugs to her I was a fucking idiot and derserved better and she wasn't going to sit around and watch it happen. Good thing she didn't know about the occasional beatings. "Annie?! That you?" She asks halfing yelling. "Yeah it's me, this a bad time?" I ask. "Absolutely not! Let me step out of the garage so I can hear ya better. So what's up? How's the kids?" "They're good. But I do have a favor to ask." I tell her getting straight to the point. "Sure, anything for you and those babies!" She told me. "I'm leaving Johnny and I have no where to go." I muttered out feeling ashamed that it's took this long for me to leave. "Baby girl you know you and those kiddos always have a place with me. I'm just glad you finally left that basturd! I'm working at a garage out in Cali and got a two bedroom apartment just around the corner from the shop. You come on out babygirl I got you!" She told me which brought a smile to my face. Knowing that someone that isn't even related to me could be there for me at the drop of a hat. But then again she always has been since kindergarten. " Thank you so much. You don't even know how thankful I am!" I told her. "Shut your mouth bitch and get your ass out here I miss you and the squrits!" Britni said chuckling. "As soon as they come down from packing toys I'll be on the road! We miss you too something fierce." I told her hearing footsteps coming down the stairs. "Okay, I'll text you the address to the shop cause I'm here 75% of the time." She said inhaling sharply. I figured she was taking a smoke break while talking to me. "Awesome love you babe see you soon!" I told her standing up and turning around to see the kids standing there holding their backpacks ready to go. "Love you to babe. I gotta get back to work keep checking in through." She told me sternly. "Promise." I told her and we ended the call.



"Well babes it sounds like we're heading to California!" I told the kids laughing seeing their jaws drop. They've never been further than Georgia and that was the last trip we took. "That's clear across the country!" Jameson explained. "It sure is baby we have a very long trip ahead of us." I told them walking towards the garage. Coming from West Virginia to California was about a 40 hour drive with no stopping. "Alrighty do you have everything you need or want?" I asked one last time before we got settled in the car to start our journey. "Yepp we got everything momma." Rayne answered. "Let's get buckled in then and get going."

By now it was already 5 o'clock and we haven't even left the county. I figured we better stop and fill up with gas and get some snacks and about 10 ice coffees if I was going to drive through the night. By the time we got back on the road I received a text from Brit with the address of the auto shop she was working. Brit may be a bit ditzy but there was one thing that bitch was good at an that was fixing cars. She had the life that I had always wanted. Getting to travel all over, not being tied down, now don't get me wrong I love my kids to death and would go to war for them but it was never in my agenda to have two kids and an a steady boyfriend at 25 but there I was watching my best friend living the life I had always wanted.

After about the fifth hour of being on the road the kids was fast asleep and that gave me time to drown in my thought. Was I really doing this? Where the hell had I grew the balls to leave? I'm on my own rasing two kids. I'm going to be alone forever, no man in his right mind will ever want a plus size single mom with baggage. I mean I'm not huge at least I don't think so but after having two kids and a love for some good food I'm about a good 16,18 jeans of course my big ol' ass and hips takes up most of the room. And if I do say so myself I've got a pretty nice full rack, and have two full sleeves of tattoos which I've always got compliments on. That and my long black hair with my olive complexion is what first attracted Johnny to me. Wait fuck Johnny dont think about that prick. After that thought is when I turned on my favorite station and started to drown out my thoughts.

Stevie Nicks' voice filled the vehicle and pushed all the negitive thoughts out of my head making me focus on her voice and the road. After another 3 hours of driving I decided it was probably a good idea to stop and get a hotel room for the rest of the night.

Pulling into the rundown motel parking lot, I looked back at my two sleeping kids and thanked the lord of giving me such wonderful blessings even though their dad was a dick, they was perfect. Getting out of the car I opened Jameson's door first and gentley nudged him awake. "Wake up baby." I whispered. "Mommy where are we?" Rayne asked waking up rubbing her eyes along with Jameson. "We're at a motel somewhere in Missouri." I told them unbuckling Jameson then moving to Rayne. None of us slept well in that shitty motel but it was better than nothing. The next morning around 10 we got back on the road. I drove for about 12 hours straight that day and only pulling over at a truck stop to sleep. It wasn't that I was really watching my money since I had been saving all of my tips from the salon for the last 12 months for this trip and working at one of the best salons in three county I made bank. It was the fact that I couldn't sleep in hotels, everytime I would fall asleep I would wake back up thinking that Johnny had found us. Not that he would come for me but he'd come for the kids. This driving for 8 sleeping for 8 had become a routine for us for the last couple of days. And was working pretty well.

After four days of driving and sleeping at trucks stops we was finally in Navada. "Alright kids, you can get unbuckled let's go in and get some snacks!" I told them as I got out. Walking in the the gas station I noticed about four bikes on the opposite side of the gas pump's and smiled it had been so long since I'd been on the back of a bike.

"Okay, now you can get whatever you want but remember you have to eat good food before your candy." I told the kids. As they went picking out their snacks I grab a bottle of water and a blue powerade. When I gathered the kids up I noticed two of the bikers were standing in front of us in line. 'Sons of Anarchy' I thought to myself taking in the kutte. Hearing a Scottish accent they drew my interest more, making me think of Brit she was always a sucker for a man with an accent especially a Scottish one. I watched as the men payed for their gas and cigarettes and walked back out to their bike.

Putting our stuff on the counter for the cashier to ring up and prepaying for gas I handed her cash and picked up our bag.

I got the kids settled into their seat and the snacks passed out then I went to pumping gas still kind of being to nosy for my own good. I couldn't help it though there was something about those bikers that drew me in. As I was eavesdropping I heard the sexiest voice I have EVER heard. Peaking over the pump to see where that husky voice was coming from I looked into the darkest eyes I've ever seen and from that moment on I was hooked. All I got was a subtle wink and I was weak in the knees. I finished pumping and got back into the car and immediately called Brit to tell her about this dark eyed mystery man.

000000000000000

"Talk to me. " Brit answered after the third ring. "Holy Shit I think I'm in love!" I said with a smile on my face. "What the fuck are you talking about? You smoking again?" She asked full out laughing. "Bitch this ain't funny I'm dead serious! We locked eyes over the gas pump, his eyes were so dark it was like he was looking straight to my soul!" I told her with excitement. Good thing the kids had their headphones on so they couldn't hear me gushing about this mystery man. "Chick you really are sex deprived aren't you." She replied to the statement. "Yes but thats beside the point, Im fucking serious. Plus he was with a MC, had Sons of Anarchy on his kutte, along with the other three that was with him. And his friend had an Scottish accent so I can bang dark eyes you bang the scot!" I said acting like we was in highschool again making a plan on how to bang these random guys we didnt even know. All I heard on the other like was Holy Shit and Britni laughing hysterically. "Whats so funny bitch?" I asked "Was you in Navada when you seen these guys?" She asked me. "Yeah why?" I replied confused as to how she knew that. "You'll see when you get here horndog." She said laughing and then hung up. I looked at my phone disgusted. What the fuck was this bitch talking about? Now not only can I not get this mystery man out of my head but now Im thinking about what I'll have awaiting me when we get there.

- In Charming

Brit's POV

Hanging up with Annie all I could do was laugh, Bitch had no idea what she was walking into. As I was walking across the lot from the garage to the clubhouse the guys that we had just been talking about pulled in. "Hey baby how was the run?" I asked my ol' man leaning in for a kiss. " Good as can be expected lovey." He answered in that deep Scottish accent I love oh so much. "Whats goin' on here?" He asked wrapping his arm around my shoulders and leading me into the clubhouse. "Well...there is something I need to talk to you all about." I said sweetly. "What did ye do know lovey?" He asked taking the shot of whiskey the prospect gave him. "You remember me talking about my best friend Annie and her kids? And how her kids sperm donor is a piece of shit and beats on her and is a druggie piece of shit?" I asked getting angry and clenching my teeth just thinking about what all he's done to her. "Easy there darlin' might blow a fuse." Tig joked. "I just hate his fucking guts. She deserves so much better." I told them. "Okay well what about her?" Chibs asked trying to get me back on track. "Well she finally left him and she'll be here." I was telling him before my phone interrupted me. "Well actually she's here now." I said with a little chuckle. "Listen don't worry she knows how this life works, we grew up in my Uncle's clubhouse so she knows the part and let me tell ya she plays it way better than me." I said laughing. "Well fellas I guess lets go meet the lass." Chibs said as Happy and Tig followed us out to the lot curious to see whonthis Annie was.

ANNIE'S POV

I pulled into the lot and it was stepping back in time. It reminded me so much of Uncle Tommy's clubhouse. "Alright darlings we're here." I said letting out a breath I didnt realize I was holding. "Mommy why are we here?" Jameson asked. "This is where Aunt Brit works. We have to meet her here first then we'll follow her to her house." I explained to both of them. While the kids were getting unbuckled I quickly checked my hair and put on some mascara and chapstick. I took one more quick glance in the mirror and saw Britni followed by three guys making their way toward us. I decided it was time to get out, as I got out I pulled the distressed demin shorts down a little in the front so they wouldnt look so short and pulled my shirt up a little so I wasn't showing so much cleavage. "Bitch!!" I heard as I was opening the back door for the kids to get out. I automatically got a huge grin as soon as I heard her voice I had been to damn long since I had seen my best friend. I turned around and immediately stopped when I seen him. It was him dark eyes from the gas station! I was frozen. My heart was pounding out of my chest! As I stood standing there like an idiot the kids took off running to Britni.

"Hey kiddos! You've gotten so big look at you!" Britni said talking a good look at them.

"I'm seven now Aunt Brit!" Jameson told her a little cocky. "Well you're almost a man!" Brit said with a slight chuckle. When I heard her laugh I snapped out of my trance and started paying attention to the exchanges between my children and the Aunt they haven't seen in years. "And look at you babygirl I can't believe how beautiful you are! I'm so glad you took after your mother and not your ugly ass daddy." She said laughing and looked at me. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. Why don't you kids go play over on the swing set while me and your momma talk?" Britni said looking at them. "Can we momma?" Rayne asked. "Go on." I said smiling and kissing both of them on top of the head before they took off running for the pay ground.

"How was the trip?" She asked pulling out a cigarette and handing it to me with a look knowing that I needed one. "It was good the kids were great. They're actually excited about starting over." I remarked taking a hit of the Marlboro red. "So you gonna introduce us to this beautiful women or what?" Tig said looking me up and down. "Shut up Tig you pervet fuck!" She told him. I couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Annie this is my ol'man Filipe or Chibs as most people know him by." She said with a smile plastered to her face. "Nice to meet you!" I said as I studied him a little better, then my eyes went wide! He's P the guy with the accent I thought to myself. " Aye, nice to meet ya lass I've heard lots about ya and thee rugrats." He said with a smile shaking my hand. Yepp that's confirmed, I thought to myself. "That pervet there is Tig." "Nice to meet ya doll." Tig said as he grabbed my hand and kissed it. Dark eyes just rolled his eyes at Tigs gesture. "And that's Happy the grouchy fuck." She said and looked at me with a shit eatting grin on her face. My heart stopped. I could not believe that he was here she knew exactly who I was gushing about! That bitch. "Hi." I said shyly. All I got was a head nood but that was good enough for me.

hank u! i got a 5 lol, so everything is good for now. Rn i’m studyin english, like in depth but a few years ago I was studying literature and philosophy and since i did 3 (almost 4) years i didn’t want to lose all that work but i didn’t take some finals so they sent me a mail telling that i needed at least one okay. i loved exo m but my bias is chanyeol lol, i think both cheol and him can be very loud sometimes (most of the time!) and i love that 1/? 🍰-sss

and i don’t follow nct a lot so i can’t give u an answer. such mood! rn i’m listening to some horror stories (podcast style) ah yes, some songs are meh, i really liked the reve festival day 1 (most of the songs). i hope u can be able to play gta soon, it’s a old game but i love stealing cars(? i started to watch it, so far so good but i’ll give u my final review when i finish it. 2/? 🍰-sss

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! i love love love that anime, both versions. 2003 one has a special place in my heart. ahhh all of those are really amazing ones! i remember ouran was one of my firsts mangas. currently i’m trying to collect the yu yu hakusho ones. kyoukai no kanata is still my fav anime, i remember i watched it in one day before my sociology final lmao. and then the movie! i wanted to make a svt/knk kind of edit but im lazy! 3/? 🍰-sss

jun’s pink/lilac hair was iconic!! such a good look, his whole aes in clap era had such a strong energy

reposters have no respect, unfortunatelly a lot of people that are into social media just want numbers but they don’t even work hard for them. bc alright u care abt the amount of followers u have, at least do smth to earn that. but no, they just steal bc it’s the easier way, honestly such a disgusting move. gfx, gifs, fanarts, etc take effort, talent and time. it’s really sad that some people don’t appreciate that, damn a lot of them sound like ignorants 5/6 🍰-sss

(reminds me of when my great aunt told me literature wasn’t a valid major to choose, smh. not everybody want to be a lawyer karen). !!! the foot fetish omg jfbsdfs. and don’t worry! hahah i luv ya, we can ramble and share our hate towards twitter. how is your weekend going so far?? 6/6 🍰-sss

yayyy, that’s great!!! i’m happy for u 💕💕 ohh i get it! i’m glad u could do well on this one then!! CHANYEOL! YES! A HAPPY BOY!! u cant write chanyeol without cheol so that’s cute LMAO and yessss they’re both rlly loud!!! god i love chanyeol but i can never see him next to baekhyun without feeling anxious bc of the shippers lmao right now not as much as a few years ago but i still got the trauma lol and!! idk if u know but noses are my fave thing ever right and chanyeol has one of my fave noses in kpop i love it :/// i used to cry about his nose as much as i cry about vernon’s now lmao 

oh i don’t remember if i actually listened to the albums lmao idk but sometimes if i dont like the title track i feel rlly unmotivated to listen to the whole album :/ also what did u think about psycho? to me it kinda felt the same as umpah umpah like i enjoyed the song but it kinda sounded more like a b track? also as i was listening to it and watching the mv it reminded me a lot of an ending song? like not an anime ending sort of song but like a goodbye song if it makes any sense lmao like goodbye by 2ne1 or lonely by sistar idk wHY BUT the album actually has the word finale in it and i was actually shocked to see it but it made sense in my head lmao

stealing cars is amazing but i actually like it more to punch random people on the street :/ i have anger issues and sometimes i do wish i could do that irl but i CANT so i do it in the game lmao also shooting random ppl god i LOVE it, love me some violent games where i can do whatever i want and then pretend i’m sane irl LMAO

fma is my fave thing in the world after my cats and maybe tied with pjo i LOVE that anime/manga and you’re completely RIGHT the 2003 version is just as good the 2009 ver supremacists are wrong bc both versions are amazing and they complement each other really well!! oh ur so brave to try collecting a whole manga lmao like it’s my DREAM but i only have bits and pieces of some of them bc i mostly buy them second handed

KYOUKAI NO KANATA I LOVEEEE, did i mention it on my list or did i forget? either way i LOVE that anime, i’ve watched it so many times it’s one of my absolute faves!! also i’m rlly sad there’s absolutely no english translation for the light novel i think? i searched a few years ago and couldn’t find anything, i’d love to read it even if i don’t usually read light novels lmao and god i fully support you and ur gfx idea but i do understand 100% about being too lazy to do it lmao i’ve had a gfx idea i wanted to do for the longest time but i’ll be SO hard and it’ll take me so much time i’m just zzzzzzz lmao

god jun in clap era was rlly something!! the hair, the outfits, the earring, ahhh i miss it lmao

reposters can just fuck off honestly lmao and yeah!! i’m rlly grateful my mother always allowed me to do whatever i wanted to when it comes to college so i never had that problem, but i’m rlly sad about every artist who got told that art isn’t a “real job” or stuff like that, same with stuff like literature/philosophy/sociology like some professions get sooo neglected it’s sad :/ 

also i do wanna thank you for letting me ramble and never complaining about it bc my friend (the only friend i talk to, in fact) always tells me that if he were u he wouldn’t read half the things i write lmao and he does indeed NOT read half the things i tell him lmao bc like i talk a lot and ramble a lot but not everyone is like this so i’m sorry if i’m making u talk more than u are used to but also thank you for doing so akdjnfsd

and my weeked was pretty ok i think? i dont rlly remember what i did, might have just slept a lot lmao but i don’t have any complaints either! what about yours??

also i’m going to the beach for a couple of days with my friends this week so i’m exciteddd i love the beach and i was sad thinking i wouldn’t go anymore, it’ll be for 3 or 4 days only but that’s already something!!
