CeCe had never seen a horse up close. Sure, she had seen them in magazines and books, and she was sure she rode a pony when she was younger, but you didn’t come across many horses in Los Angeles.

The girls had an idea to ask the band what was something that they wanted to do now that they could touch, could feel. Alex and Luke’s were a bit easier. A bit more common. But Reggie’s was out of the box. Luke had to explain that Reggie had grown up in the country before LA.

Which led them trying to find a place to ride. And after much googling and some digging into their piggy banks, they were able to book a ride for the group. That suddenly turned into just Reggie and CeCe.

She didn’t mind. But she felt like she was being set up. Leaning her head against the wood of the fencing, she watched as the stable hands began to pull and tack horses for them. She swallowed thickly. Nervous. She didn’t think she could ride one.

She turned to Reggie when he spoke, smiling. He always had a way with a words, even if it’s just explaining brief information. “I’ve never been around a horse. It was one of the offers they had. Emotional and physical therapy for me after....but I never got around to doing it. They’re beautiful beasts.” She had never explained the entire story to him. There was never a chance. Both Julie and CeCe learned the boys’ history, but no one had asked her.

Out of the loop.

Hands shoved in ripped up jeans, she looked down at scuffed shoes before turning to Reggie. “Is that why you love country music so much?” The breeze blew her hair from her face. She didn’t want to tell him that she was worried. That she was scared.

She didn’t want to embarrass herself.

Send a 🏇 to go horse riding with my muse!

                    what’s something you’ve wanted to do since you’ve been back that you couldn’t? the question he didn’t even need to think about. because now that they could feel, he knew the answer. “horseback riding.” he answered straight away.

  because before moving to california to the beach, he grew up on a farm. with horses. cows. everything. and he missed it. so of course that led them to googling where they could go riding and set up the date and time and then next thing he knew, cece and him were able to go. the others could have came but decided to let them go instead.

it had definitely been years since he last went riding so he was thankful for the help

“you know, horses are my favorite.” he stated, glancing over at cece. “they will pack bond with anything. they’re herd animals and if they’re not around other horses, they’ll befriend donkeys, sheep, anything. i love that about them.”

My turn!

So I started following you because you were a multi muse as well and seemed very friendly. But of course I’m not the first to send a message because of anxiety. But you messaged me and we ended up fast friends.

We have different views on different ships, but that doesn’t make us enemies! It shouldn’t. In fact, it’s brought us closer cause I’ve become open to different ideas as have you!

I’ve stayed because our thread is really great! And I love the fact that I can interact with both Julie and CeCe and it all warms my heart! Plus our next one once we have time!

One of my fav partners!

Hi! Well, I’m not putting any wolf picture, but THANK YOU! (First: no limit! I can write everything haha!) As I said you’re really a really nice person and a chill partner. It’s a real pleasure to interact/talk with you. Actually I’m a really shy person too, but I work on myself to message people, and I’m glad I do because I can meet awsome persons like you. Shipping is a matter of taste, and no one should be blame for their tastes (unless it’s really problematic, I guess?), and I also know that I tend to have really weird ships, so, I’m the weird one ~ I’m happy enough when people don’t judge me for my tastes, so I glad we get along anyway. I love to think that communication (chatting) is a good way to understand things and accept people. And I’m also sure that it brings ideas, because of different views (more creativity!). Knowing that we can talk about things we don’t agree about also make it easier to talk at all. I’m glad you like our thread, even without shipping, I try to keep close friendship between characters (because they’re supposed to be actually, that helps) and not shipping doesn’t mean 'no friendship' either. Even if I’m not into writing it, I can still admit that they’re not bad matches either, and I’m also happy for you having some threads between Reg & CeCe (yeah, I saw them ~). I wish I can write faster and make you more replies (and also that I can start that thread we talked about... too many characters haha). And thank you so much! Once again I really like CeCe and your Julie is really well written too!

'Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit

They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it" and I did

Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die

He said he'd love me all his life

But that life was too short

Breaking down, I hit the floor

All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting, "More"

I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my mark!

'Cause I can do it with a broken heart

Open Starter for CeCe

The girl watched from her spot as her band cheered, seemingly excited about their new spots in fame. CeCe was excited, but it was like she was forgotten. And it was stupid to feel lousy on her birthday. But here she was. She barely registered what was going on or who was sitting beside her, just stewing in her own thoughts. She jumped when they spoke. “Sorry. Wasn’t paying attention. What were you saying?” She asked quickly.

[stargazermuse]

Alright everyone! I have heard the news (well not officially but TikTok is full of sad videos)

My jatp muses will still be alive and well and I am here for support and venting sessions

Have at thee!!

[stargazermuse]

CeCe swallowed thickly and winced as she shifted so she could sit up more. She wasn’t going to fall asleep. Not until she got home. She didn’t trust people. She didn’t want to fall asleep.

She felt the stitches pull and touched it gently, looking over at Alex for a moment. At that very second there was a soft poof, that CeCe had gotten used to. She looked up to see Luke and Reggie had made their way into the room. She smiled weakly.

“How’re you feeling?” Luke asked softly, shoving his hands in his pockets. CeCe chuckled. “Like hell.” She said softly. Luke chuckled. “Well you should get some sleep. They’re stuck in traffic.”

“I’m not going to sleep!” CeCe snapped, wincing at the headache that was growing and the pain of unshed tears. “Now could we just talk about something. Anything? So I don’t go to sleep?” She practically begged them, swallowing thickly.

stargazermuse·:

CeCe looked down for a moment as he explained. He knew. “Like you knew it was okay. Like it was calling you to just let go, that you would be with them soon.” She responded, trying not to think of anything bad. It was a pull against her heart and mind, knowing what actually happened. How much pain they had all been in, and it was so much that they just gave up. They just let go and knew it was over. Well, not Luke. He had seemed to try and fight it, because of the Orpheum. She closed her eyes and swallowed thickly, before looking up at him when he squeezed her hand. She smiled weakly.

The medicine was beginning to kick in. She could feel her body beginning to betray her, to tell her to sleep. That it needed it so it could reset and heal itself. But she was going to fight it. She wasn’t going to let it get the best of her. Not this time. 

She nodded. She knew Carrie’s dad never spoke about them. He had mentioned playing at a young age with some friends, but never that he was in a band and that said band had died. Her eyes drooped, but she opened them quickly, blinking a few times to wake herself up. “I wish he would have though, you know? That way we would have known who you were, that you were basically legends.” She explained to him, smiling softly. She just wished she had known more instead of finding out this way.

“Do you know how long Julie said it would be before my uncle got here?” She asked softly, changing subjects and fighting the urge to sleep. 

“Yeah. Like that.” It wasn’t like Alex hadn’t fought, but he had somehow..,known that it was a losing fight. That his friends were already gone, and he had to admit that the had never really thought about it. With everything happening he had been too busy to let himself think of the moment they had actually passed, but now that things were slowing down, at least a little, he could remember more and more details of that night. A night that should have been the happiest night of their lives, and had turned into something entirely different.

The longer he thought about it, the less mad Alex was at Bobby. Of course stealing Luke’s songs wasn’t okay, and he had gotten the scare of his life for that, but he had also been a teenager who had lost his best friends on the day that should have been their big break. Alex didn’t even want to think about how much that must have hurt him. 

“I’m sure there’ll be here any minute, LA traffic can be terrible.” Which wasn’t even a lie, though Alex assumed that CeCe would have been asleep by the time they got here. He knew she didn’t want to sleep, but it was probably best and whenever Julie and her uncle got here, they would wait as long as it took for her to wake up.

Open Starter For CeCe

This was the first time that she had ever opened the door, and there was no one inside.

She was used to the normal noises. Whether it be the band practicing, or just hanging out. Or even her tío or Carlos out here doing something. But today it was different. CeCe hadn’t felt like hanging with Flynn and Julie, and her tío was taking Carlos to one of his games. She had no idea where the boys were at, so she had the garage to herself.

She closed the doors and slowly climbed the loft. Alex wouldn’t mind. She hid up there sometimes too. There had been a moment, a memory, she wanted to find up there. The loft was cleaner than downstairs, and for that she was grateful.

“Come on, where is it?” She whispered, going through the old keyboards that didn’t work and old guitars that had strings missing, she never understood why these were still up here. She continued to rummage, before her eyes locked on the sleek black case. She smiled, pulling it from the junk and smiling. It was still here.

Jumping down from the loft, she immediately put it down and opened it up. “Just like new.”  She spoke again to no one, looking down at her violin. CeCe was classically trained. Her father had wanted her to know it. But her mother was always in to rock music, which is where her love for both came from. She took the instrument from the case, plucking the strings. Still good. Didn’t need to be tuned at all.

She looked around again, making sure no one was here or had appeared and hadn’t told her, before placing the violin to her chin and placing the bow on the strings. She tested a few chords, before beginning an old tune she had written a few years back. It felt comfortable, like home to her. She was great on the piano, but she loved her violin as well. She had never touched it since the accident, and she was rusty, but it felt like wonders in her hands to play it.

She slowly let her eyes close and enjoy the music as she played, not listening to the familiar poof of friends joining her. Too into her music to care.

@amillixnvoices​ said: “Thank god, you’re breathing.” (For Alex)

Send my muse “Thank god you’re breathing.” for their reaction to waking up finding your muse has brought them back from near death.

There were two things CeCe was just now comprehending.

One: She was cold, beyond cold. Freezing. And Two: She was soaking wet. Those were the first two things, and the rest made no sense. 

The first thing out of her mouth was a jagged and rough cough, water spluttering from her lips onto the ground under her as she gagged and heaved the rest of it upward. She gasped for air, breathing heavily as it filled her waterlogged lungs. Coughing was a necessity at the moment as well, and she continued until she almost couldn’t breathe anymore.

Her head was pounding, like a hammer cracking her skull open. She could feel a wetness on her forehead, and it didn’t feel like water. As she looked to the ground, she saw red mixed with water. Was she bleeding? She heard her name called, but it didn’t function well with the headache and she winced.

Weakly, she lowered herself back to the ground, arms almost giving out under her. She laid back on her back, trying to remember what the hell just happened and why she couldn’t remember. She trembled where she laid, before her eyes were finally able to focus on the person who had spoken the first time.

“Alex?” She whimpered out, wincing as her head throbbed from her even speaking. She reached up to her forehead, wincing as she pulled back to discover blood on her hands. Her head was spinning, but thankfully all of the water in her stomach was up. Or else she’d be heaving again.

“Obviously. But I do. Last time I checked, I was a lifer. Who didn’t belong here.” CeCe glared at the man in question. She had no idea how she even got here, why she was in the club. She didn’t belong here, and she needed to get home to Julie and the others.

“Wait?” She turned quickly, raising an eyebrow at the man. “That’s a Sunset Curve song. How did you know that?” Not many remembered Sunset Curve. Only she knew because she was in a band with them, but she had known their music before. And Julie knew too of course. Why had she followed that stupid ghost here, she just wanted to know what this newfound ability was. And here she was and unable to leave. 

This wasn’t how she wanted her Friday night to go. 

[stargazermuse]

i’ll try not to ask a lot of questions. ( reggie @ cece )

“You can ask questions, if you like.” CeCe said, her hands holding her ankles as she rocked herself. She didn’t mind talking about it.

“Talking about it makes it easier. I know I can talk about it without giving myself an attack. It makes it easier for me to tell people.” She normally wouldn’t talk about the wreck. Their deaths. But it was getting easier. And she was content with that.

[stargazermuse]

“You did not just throw that pillow at me!” ( julie @ cece )

CeCe couldn’t help but giggle and shrugged. “Maybe I did, or maybe it was one of the ghosts. We do have a lot of those hanging around now.” She joked and turned away like she was uninterested. She was bored and it was the only thing she could think of doing. They hadn’t had a sleepover like this in while and it was nice.

                “c’mon, you’re not that bad.” he winked at her playfully, throwing a grin her way. “besides, not like we have much of a choice.” but they did, didn’t they? just because they were soulmates didn’t mean that things were going to be perfect between them ― god knows his own parents weren’t great together. many nights led to reggie taking hour long showers to drown out the constant fighting as best as he can. “why don’t i want you as my soulmate?”

[stargazermuse]

CeCe looked down at Luke when he leaned his head against her shoulder. He was just a worried big brother. Her brother would have been the same way. Her and her dad would have given Luke a hard time. So she understood.

Reggie couldn’t help but chuckle before sighing. The ideas of getting married, having kids. Sure it was an idea that cross his mind, but barely. They had so much to live for out here. They couldn’t dwell on the future. Live in the present.

He smiled at Mae, before looking back at Luke and CeCe. “Luke. We all got a second chance thanks to CeCe and Julie.” He emphasized, smiling at CeCe as she blushed. “We’re all here, alive. Let’s not take it for granted and dwell on the future. Let’s just have fun right now.”

“Whoa. When did you get philosophical?” Alex joked as he walked out, sitting down with Julie and Flynn joining. Reggie chuckled, reaching his fist out. “Come on. Let’s enjoy this.” He wrapped his arm around Mae, grinning.

CeCe grinned as she watched them, watching as the swirls of colors danced behind her eyes. The harmony that was developing. She squeezed Luke’s arm, smiling.

“Now if we could only get CeCe to kiss Luke.” Julie teased quietly, earning a slap from her cousin and a chuckle from Flynn.

@fixitmuses continued from here

The crowd could already be heard, even from backstage. Battle of the Bands, even on a small level like this one, was still on a level of intensity. This gig was going to be huge for them, was going to put them on the market again. Maybe they could make an album, or more concerts, and make it big.

“There, don’t ever make fun of my makeup skills.” Flynn joked as she finished CeCe. She had to admit, CeCe didn’t look like herself with the makeup and hair. Flynn always outdid herself. She ran a hand through the multi colored streaks and rolled her eyes, smoothing hands down the ripped jeans. She still couldn’t believe this was her.

She walked away after slipping from Flynn to find the boys. Julie was with them as well. The first one she noticed was Luke, sitting on one of the unused amps with his guitar. He was watching something, or someone. CeCe turned to look. Her eyes focused on Reggie, who was watching Mae with Julie and Alex, a goofy grin on his face. He was solely transfixed on Mae. CeCe chuckled before walking over to Luke. Each step she took mad her heart thunder. They might have confessed weeks ago, but she was still confused.

��Hey.” Her hand rested gently on Luke’s knee to grab his attention. “If you stare any harder, you’re gonna go blind before the show.” She joked. “Calm down. I know she’s your sister. But she can take care of herself.”

[stargazermuse]

@phantombassist said: “You know what? I was wrong. You never really meant anything to me. You’re broken, you’re beyond fixing, you’re not something I want to take the time to handle. Simple as that.”

Angst Sentence Starters - Accepting

(THIS HURT TO WRITE) 😭😭

“Reggie!”

“Dude! What the hell?!”

CeCe had heard the sudden anger in both Alex and Luke’s voices. It had both stunned them and angered them. They had never known Reggie to say something like that.

CeCe knew he had been acting odd. Really odd. Normally he was his cheerful self, and though she blocked it a lot of times, she had been letting herself get closer to him. He had been breaking her walls down with his normal, goofy self.

She didn’t even remember what set him off. They had been practicing but everyone had been behind the beat or off. But it happens. She thinks she had been teasing him while she was grabbing the tambourine, about trying to break her walls. And then he snapped. It had stunned everyone into silence.

But she had heard enough. Her cheeks were stained red, and she felt the tears stinging but she held them back. I was letting myself go, she thought. For you.

“CeCe.” She heard Julie’s voice. Soft, almost motherly. She looked at her cousin, before seeing Alex was moving to her.

And she did what she did best.

She bolted.

She really has nowhere else to go. She pushed past Luke and out of the garage to her room. It was the only place she felt safe. Enough to let the real tears fall. As soon as she slammed her door, she fell into the cushions of her window seat, burying her face into the pillows. She was broken beyond repair. There was no way to fix her.

Julie watched CeCe go, too scared to go after her. So she did what she did best. “Are you stupid?! Why would you say those things to her?! You know how hard it is for her to break down! She didn’t just lose her mom! She lost her whole family! I can’t believe you!” Julie practically yelled at her bassist, before turning around.

“Dude what’s gotten into you?” Alex asked as Luke glared at him. This wasn’t how practice was supposed to be.

[phantombassist]

   it was a strange feeling to go from not knowing what your unfinished business was to suddenly knowing it changed and knowing exactly what it was. and reggie really wanted to tell the others and it killed him that he couldn’t. alex would worry, luke would tell julie and cece... and cece... she really did deserve to be happy and if he had to sacrifice this life for her, he’d do it in a heartbeat. because she was at least still living.

“cece!” he smiled the moment she walked in the room. “i kind of want to do something with just you and i today, if that’s okay?” because the boys could read him too easily and maybe she could to, but not as easily as the ones he grew up with.
