i think the apple's rotten right to the core.

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"no, no. it's harmless. just — annoying." she exhaled a breath, gaze moving onto her sister as she stepped back from the blinds.

"why are we here again?" she questioned, head tilting.

[* 𝕷𝒖𝒄𝒚. @OFASURVIVOR]

Lucy sighed softly as she crossed her arms just shaking her head. “Do you want me to have a word with him?” She questioned with a serious look.

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"i think i just saw pete pass by." she muttered, glancing towards lucy. "i don't know what it is about that man, but we always argue. it never fails. since i've met him."

[* 𝕷𝒖𝒄𝒚. @OFASURVIVOR]

Lucy stood there as she glanced over at her sister, a raised eyebrow. “What’s going on?” She asked softly.

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

<- playing tomodachi life.
she's locked in.

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"not really," she muttered, chewing the inside of her cheek. "it's nothing to do with you. i've just had a really shitty day. nothing sounds good." she exhaled a soft sigh, fidgeting with one of her rings.

a shake of her head. "got into a text fight with an ex. kind of dimmed the mood." she motioned towards the gathering of everyone.

"figured i'd take a step out, recollect."

[* 𝕭𝑹𝑨𝑫𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑫. @LAPDSSERGEANT]

He’s coming and standing beside her, a raised eyebrow as he looked. “You doing okay?” He asked softly.

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

she stared at him for a moment, taking in his words before she exhaled a sigh, lifting her hands in defense.

"fine free drinks. i'll just tip the amount the drinks cost then." she beamed a smile.

[𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 @PrettyBartend]

"Nah, you don't owe me anything, trust."

He felt the need to take a mental step back and process what she had said. Nobody owed him anything, especially for free drinks

"Trust me, the drinks will be free and we get to talk more. Nothing else about it. I like what we have going

"i know that, dawson." she exhaled a snicker. "i meant where. that's key information for a road trip." she brought a knee to her chest. it was comfortable for her.

"i’m hungry." she murmured quietly.

[* 𝓓AWSON .ᐟ @BRUISEDMEDS]

“going on a road trip, right? thought maybe it would be fun. least where you can have fun.”

he looked at her with a small sympathetic smile on his face while his gaze drifted back to look at the road.

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"you're a bartender." she took a glance over his frame. "makes sense." she snickered quietly.

"i'd rather pay for them, but i might stop by, yeah." she dipped her head into a nod. "free drinks makes me feel like i'd owe you." she murmured, chewing the inside of her cheek.

[𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 @PrettyBartend]

"Yikes. Id ask what happened but I feel like that's a whole talk. Don't worry, my ex girlfriend cheated on me."

He let out sigh, not of relief or frustration. Just a much needed sigh.

"Well, this isn't a date but if you ever want a free drink, I work at that bar near the

a pause, "let's just say he can't come within five hundred feet of me."

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"that's actually good advice. you could give that to someone." she spoke with a soft hum, gaze focused on beck.

"no, i’m not seeing anyone right now." gender neutral phrasing. "besides, i don't have the best track record with men. my ex boyfriend," +

[𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 @PrettyBartend]

"I learned nobody going to be confident for me so I might as well try for myself."

Leaning into his seat, he had an aura of calm and confidence but she decided to look any closer, maybe she would see it falter for just one moment.

"Well glad I found you. Pretty girls shouldn't

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"love the confidence radiating off you right now." she motioned over his frame with a smile. she then sipped on her drink as she lifted her shoulders into a shrug.

"i dunno." she glanced around. "i came here with someone, but it seems they've disappeared."

[𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 @PrettyBartend]

"Fair enough. I can't exactly diss on Avan Jogia... but i am hotter."

It was mostly a joke... mostly. Taking a sip of his drink, he let the music hit him for the first time in a while. How long had they been talking? Five minutes? An hour? He wasn't exactly sure

"So Zoey, what

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"hm," she pretended to think. "i dunno. he's looking real nice nowadays." she chuckled, shaking her head gently.

"thank you." she smiled. "for both compliments."

[𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 @PrettyBartend]

He let out a noise as if he heard that line more than a few times before but there was no heat to it.

"Yeah but let's be real, I'm hotter than him right?"

He joked, pushing back a few strains of his long curly hair, his smile always leaving

"Zoey, cute name for a cute girl"

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"i don't even know exactly what we're doing." she muttered, gaze lingering on her. the details were vague. she reached to fiddle with the radio.

[* 𝓓AWSON .ᐟ @BRUISEDMEDS]

“I think it will be. It’s always fun, you know?” he smiled lightly at her as he continued to drive, checking on her occasionally. Dawson didn’t force her to come along, but thought it would be a good idea.

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"nice name. reminds me of that one nickelodeon show." she chucked, nose wrinkling upwards.

"i’m zoey. nice to meet you." she spoke with a genuine smile forming on her lips.

[𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 @PrettyBartend]

At a party, he began to talk to the new girl, laughing away as the rest of the world kept going. He had a soft, warm smile, his eyes locked with him as they talked about anything

"I almost forgot. I don't think I got your name. I'm Beck."

[𝚉𝙾𝙴𝚈 .ᐟ @cunningbite]

"i don't know. i am excited, to get away from everything for a while, but," a pause as she exhaled a sigh.

"it'll be fun." she forced a smile, glancing over towards him.

[* 𝓓AWSON .ᐟ @BRUISEDMEDS]

"don't look too excited now . ."

he joked as he was in the drivers seat driving while taking a few glances at her. he was trying for the past hour to convince her that this trip would be good for the both of them.
