time is hard to keep track of now, but louis isn’t blind to the changes of both himself and the friends around him. he’s started growing facial hair, started losing the baby fat in his cheeks—at least to some degree—and he’s got little patches of hair in places he hadn’t remembered them being before. he’s just thankful to whichever of his parents’ genes that prevented him from having breakouts.
and despite his own body’s questionable changes, he supposes it could be worse. he thinks about willy and the way the boy’s voice cracks over the tiniest things and the plethora of acne that plagues his skin. ah, the joys of puberty… still, louis has other things on his mind besides his friends’ changes. well… most of them, anyway…
his eyes flit over to the girl—or woman—beside him, taking in the slope of her nose from her profile view as they walk. clementine. if anything, she’s aged the most gracefully out of all of them. and louis acknowledges that he is entirely biased, but he doesn’t care. anyone with half a brain could see the beauty clem’s become—not that she wasn’t already beautiful, but, in louis’ opinion, she’d only managed to grow even more beautiful with time.
he’s reminded of the quote from mulan that had never managed to leave his mind even after all these years: the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all. and he’ll be damned if it doesn’t fit clem to a T. he wonders if he should mention it to her; wonders if it would make her blush. it’s an entertaining thought.
instead, he carries on about one thing or another—anything to fill the silence between them—and he notices that she’s been quiet, which isn’t anything unusual, but, knowing her as well as he’s grown to, he can tell when it’s an unusual amount of quiet.
“ penny for your thoughts ? ” he asks after a brief pause, brow risen. he knows they need to focus—keep their eyes peeled for anything they could bring back to the school—but checking in with each other while they do it wouldn’t hurt anything.

your body gives, but then holds back... the sun is bright, the sky is black... [ ... ] your laughter, it lingers on... but you, you were almost gone...
when ruby envisioned her life with aasim, what it had turned into had not been what she’d expected or necessarily wanted. yes, she’d wanted a family with him—having as many kids as they had wasn’t the problem—and no, she didn’t mind that he had to take time for his work, but she was busy too and still had to take care of everything else.
she’d tried to be patient with him, tried to be understanding—but a woman could only take so much. the stress of her job, of raising their kids, and fearing over whether or not her marriage of nearly two decades was finally crumbling weighed on her too heavily. she wasn’t sure how much more she could take.
when aasim had dismissed her that night when she tried to get him to come to bed, the tone he’d used at that, she found herself sighing and shaking her head; begrudgingly resigned to the apparent fate they had waiting for them.
“ can only be another sign, ” she muttered, more to herself than to aasim, though it was said loud enough that he could hear if he was paying attention. “ i cannot keep what isn’t mine… ”

are you messing with me ? is this some kind of fucked up joke ? 'cause I checked yesterday... and that's not where I left your coat...
carys doesn’t know tara, not really. and yet, the word vomit simply cannot cease. she doesn’t really have anyone to talk to aside from a few people on the internet that she really doesn’t know. tara just so happens to be one of the poor, unfortunate souls that she happened to stumble into in real life; said soul who just so happened to be kind enough to initiate small talk with her.
carys, in her colorful striped sweater with a bow around her ponytail deceived many people into thinking that she was, indeed, normal—well, the folks who weren’t typically from around there, or the ones who didn’t really know of her, at least. she’d never seen tara before, but tara was nice—nicer than most of the people carys engaged with. she’d probably thought the small talk would start and end with a good book recommendation, but it had snowballed into carys oversharing and telling tara all about how at least when she was at work, she didn’t have her mother breathing down her neck—most times, anyway. it certainly didn’t stop her mother from trying to call or text at times, much to carys’ chagrin on the days where she forgets to mute her phone.
“ you should feel my heartbeat every time i hear my phone, ” she explains, maybe a little too animatedly, hand moving to her chest. “ i mean, i love my mom, really, but she just—she can be a bit much… ” it takes a few beats before carys realizes that she, too, happens to be ‘a bit much’; like mother, like daughter, she supposes.
embarrassment flutters across her features before she’s giving tara a way out of their, admittedly, mostly one-sided conversation.
“ but, uh—i’m sorry, i—i don’t mean to hold you up ! ”

at some house in malibu... taking pictures by the pool... doing things I'd never do...
it was a nasty habit, and she knew it, but smoking weed was one of the only sure fire ways she knew that eased her nerves. first, it helped to calm her down when her parents became too much, then it soothed her anxiety whenever david would get on her ass about something, but nowadays, it was a way to cope with how shit the world had become. after all, it wasn’t everyday that you had to worry about the undead eating you… or it used to not be that way.
but now, the world was over, and kate had to raise children who weren’t even technically hers. they sure didn’t have any qualms in making it known that she wasn’t their favorite person, anyway. that was the dynamic: javi, the cool uncle and kate, the mean stepmom. she wasn’t expecting it to change any time soon, either.
“ you really shouldn’t be so cocky about it, ” kate told javi, in reference to him being the ‘cool’ uncle. “ it’s a poor look. ” she took a drag from her blunt, and as she exhaled, she continued, “ now i… see, i know i’m not cool—forever the mean stepmom—but… at least i look cool… ”
