location: la vela open to: andi powers! ( @theandipowers )

nicola was supposed to be on her night off, yet she finds herself at her workplace, though not in uniform as she didn't have plans for the night, not when she finds herself growing a little bit reserved ever since what has happened at the baby shower, when her defenses were shed down, of course something like that would happen, turning the mood for that day around. they promised security to max and ana for this very important day, regardless of the circumstance, yet somehow, something like this kept happening. she's kept her distance from andi after that night, or at least tried to as she puts back her defenses up, not just for herself, but for the people around her, thinking perhaps it was the best version of herself that would help protect people if needed be. yet at the same time, she just wants to be close to the owner of la vela, as she kept looking up at the office where she knew the other would be, whilst she drinks through the night, somehow in her head and not noticing how much she's already had.

the word was already at the tip of her tongue that day at the baby shower, and she almost said it to andi, until of course, something 'unexpected' (at this point it was close of being the opposite) that had turned things around, and of course not in a good way.

"m'fine." even inebriated, nicola was still aware enough to know someone was standing behind her, someone who has she been avoiding since after the baby shower. she quickly then looks up to the bartender. "another one, please."

"what's going on with you and blondie, hmm?" rio asks as she sees her boss walking up to the bar, a smirk etched on her face as she stared at the older woman. "i mean, have all the fun you like, boss. but it looks like she's been making you struggle a little bit." she shrugs, propping on her elbow against the bar and resting her cheek against her palm, watching the said woman she's referring to talk to another attendee of the wedding. "but if you don't want to talk about it...what do you wanna drink?"

PAISLEY 📲 ANDI ( @theandipowers )

Paisley: i'm only gone for weeks and now you're taken? when did this happen, hmm?

[emmelinehq]

@theandipowers

harrison. steffi. stabbing. max. baby. ana. alone. fire. charlie. an already dizzy emmeline had got up from where she'd been sitting for the past ten minutes, still and out of touch before realising she had to get out. the woman figured she could manage it and just sleep off the awful feelings that were building inside of her. stabbing. steffi. max. doug. it just kept going and going until... bang. her legs gave out and she'd hit the floor. everything went black for a few moments. everything was still black when she opened her eyes but knew it wasn't something to panic over. the sudden drop had caused everything to switch off, for her mind to stop racing which was probably a blessing in disguise.

[drpaisleyduncan-archive]

paisley didn't know where she got the momentary confidence, it may be the third...fourth gimlet she's had for the night, or the aura oozing from the older woman sitting beside her. she has made quite a few friends ever since she arrived to hidehill, and they've gotten along so well right from the start, even though, the doctor wouldn't admit it, but andi knew exactly how make her flustered, including now, the smirk on the bar owner's face results to the slight hint of pink on her cheeks. though, paisley was able to muster up a slight chuckle as the stranger decided to run away. "it was you who probably intimidated him." she gives the woman a grin this time. "because i know i only have that effect when i'm at the ER."

Andi wasn’t one of these club owners that would only drink at their own place - nah, she liked going out and seeing what else the town had to offer, sometimes they had good ideas too - ideas she could make better. Tonight she found herself at City Light, and it was the time of night where the group she had come with had split off into their own ways through bathroom activities, hookups, or tiredness. Andi had found Paisley and caught with her a bit, fully aware that a man had been staring at them - or rather Paisley - for a while now. “Call him out,” she smirked, a brow cocking as she brought her drink up to her lips. Of course, her friend rose to the challenge and the moment they both turned around, he looked like a deer in headlights and ran off up the stairs. “Huh. He looked like a dog with at least a little bite, damn, how boring.”

TRIGGER WARNING: death, murder, stabbing

it was an odd way to think about it, but bohdi had always wondered if the sun and the moon died every night in turn for each other. they would return to living, produce a light that shone over the world before soon leaving once more so that the other could take their turn. some might have jeered and told him bohdi, you're overthinking it. as he always did. even still, he would rather cling to such a notion than go about his life living in an endless pattern of normalcy and lies.

not every case was that way. some had a genuine need for protection from the legal system that sought to take their feet out from underneath them and drag them asunder. however, in hidehill they seemed to be the exception to the rule. despite the career that atwood legal had given him, a bleary-eyed student of the craft fresh from the confines of law school, he knew he couldn't be there anymore -- but perhaps he'd find some solace as their opponent. a prosecutor, who put the likes of carter thompson and izaiah wheatley behind bars in the deepest depths of the prison system for the rest of their natural lives.

meeting elena bradshaw had actually given him the chance to believe that he could be something other than the man he had been conditioned to be. that he could actually make decisions for himself, chase after the life that had always aspired to. a future that had once been dim now shone just as bright as the sunshine, a prospect that could only be blinded by his devotion to her.

this particular evening had been a quiet one, as many had been since sasha's passing. he had never known sasha very well, but the way elena spoke of her was enough to bring a certain amount of sadness. he never forced her to speak more than she was ready for -- even then, he wasn't sure if she ever would be.

he doesn't know that the very papers he once thought might kill him would truly be his bitter end. reading glasses are perched on the tip of his nose as he scans the file he has been so engrossed in -- even if his eyes fight to close. but the bleariness soon dissipates as there is a sudden knock at the door. it seems odd that someone would make themselves present in elena's home at this time of night, unless it was someone in need of help. it seemed like everyone needs help these days, to lean on each other after the amount of loss that has been ripping the town to pieces.

oh, how wrong could bohdi have possibly been.

❝ elena? ❞ he calls out to every crevice of the apartment, taken aback by the lack of response. he moves slowly towards the bedroom door, shutting his computer as his eyes scan the hallway that couldn't have felt longer. he hopes that he is met with a positive scene, with the sight of a familiar face, someone he cared for. austin. dakota. remy. charlie. andi, unexpectedly back when he knew he had to tell her to keep running. to be happy with nicola. even emmeline, even if their relationship wasn't as close. as the weeks past by, he had found himself genuinely enjoying her company.

when he finally reaches the main room, his stomach drops in horror at what he sees. the woman he loves, tied to a chair with her eyes completely shut and a piece of fabric tied over her mouth. the shadow. they had finally come for her. he should have known, with elena's notoriety. it's within seconds that he's pushed backwards into the kitchen -- where his body hits the ground and all he can see is a faceless figure overhead.

the first thing he can think of is elena. he didn't know if she was still breathing, but he was going to fight for her. with everything he has, with everything he is. the second thing he thinks of is gain evidence. bite, scratch... if he can get his opponents dna in his teeth, in his fingers, this would bring them one step closer to getting them justice.

the first stab to the gut causes him to yelp in pain, but he continues to go with the punches. he lands as many as he can, but then comes another, and another, until his body becomes all too used to the feeling. the numbness that washes over his entire body becomes warm, comforting, calling for him to let go. but he can't. she's in the other room, and he can't help but wonder if he still has time to get to her. he'll grasp at whatever second he can...

until he can't.

bohdi sharma's body gives out, right there on elena's kitchen floor -- where he would never know if she made it out. she had to.

for he was the sun, who would die over and over again just to let her breathe.

location: ana's baby shower open to: andi powers! ( @theandipowers )

"you look...nice." nicola whispers before drawing andi close by her jacket for a soft kiss, a small grin forming against her close before pulling away. the pair offered security for the baby shower since of the recent news, making sure everyone would be safe, yet at the same time, she wanted to have a little fun for the both of them at least, to relax a little bit. she had been more a bit comfortable after their conversation days ago at la vela, but at the same time, she isn't planning to let andi out of her sight, and at the same time, would like to ensure the safety of the people they care for. "let me get some at least something to snack on...while all this goes on?"

[rafelix]

@theandipowers location: la vela

It was probably a little early, to be waiting for Andi to show up at La Vela, but after the fire - and everything with Sasha, he hadn't really felt like sitting around on his own, nursing the hangover that he was. Watching her pull up in the back, he tucked his cigarette between his teeth and lit it up, the cheery tip blazing in the shadow of the building itself. "Yeah, don't say shit, okay? I already know." It certainly hadn't been his finest night out, that was for fucking sure.

LOCATION: outside la vela, the aftermath

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐁𝐎𝐇𝐃𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 grateful to not have been at the center of the scene -- the bloodshed and the hurt. he was one of the lucky few who had gone to the front for a smoke break, having always been easily overwhelmed by large amounts of noise. funny, how he was close friends with two people who worked in this industry: managing a bar and a club respectively. he adored austin and andi more than anything, and despite his own qualms about these environments, he knew he would do anything to support them. from the moment his phone had begun to blow up, he was soon on high alert. something was incredibly wrong, but the forum had been moving far too fast for him to put the pieces together.

of course his thoughts had first run to elena. the pair was exploring new footing when it came to their connection, relationship, whatever one might call it. he had bid her goodbye with a kiss to her lips and then to her forehead, in the care of one of her friends. as the car drove away, having given her the promise that he would be home soon, he turned back to face the club once more with a sigh. fuck. this one was a doozy. he can see it in the way it weighs on andi's shoulders as she joins him on the outskirts.

❝ here. ❞ he holds out his worn pack with a gentle smile of reassurance. ❝ don't waste one of your own. this one's on me. ❞ after a moments pause, allowing the current instance to breathe, he considered his words carefully. ❝ i want you to be honest with me.. do you need your friend or your lawyer ? ❞

𝐁𝐎𝐇𝐃𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 used to putting on a brave face for the rest of the world, wearing his suit as a firm layer of armor that would never be broken. It was a reminder to the world just how much his time was worth, something he had worked hard to be able to say. However, Bohdi was tired of socializing. Instead, he had opted for a breather with a dear friend with a drink in his right hand. "Beautiful evening, isn't it?" Bohdi asks, eyes turning to Andi. The woman was a dear friend, someone he held a great respect for. "It's as if the clouds parted just for them. Let the sunshine in."
