Escaping Life Never Works [Mystic]

[aqua]

The young blond pulled her Dodge Challenger into the parking lot and quickly found a spot to park. She turned her car off and got out into the bitter cold. She pulled her jacket closer around her as she hurried to the door. She showed the guy at the door her ID and quickly slipped inside when it read it. Once inside the nineteen year old sighed and relaxed as the warmth hit her. Her golden blond hair fell down her back as it was loose once again. She had on black eye liner, mascara, and dark purple eye shadow with metallic flecks in it. She hadn't been to a club in a long time. And since it was a club only open to nineteen and up she hadn't bothered until tonight. Her nineteenth birthday. Several of her friends had called or texted to wish her a "Happy Birthday" but in her mind there was nothing quite so "happy" about it. It meant that another year had passed since her father died and her life had changed too many times to count.

Aqua grabbed a seat by the bar and ordered a soda. Her dark eyes watched as people happily danced to the music. "Happy birthday," she muttered to herself as she took a sip of her drink. She shook her head sending her wavy blond hair flying around her head which she promptly pushed out of her face. She turned her back toward the door and stared down at her phone which had informed her of three new texts. All from the Cardellos. Two of which she was not fond of. Each for a different reason but that was history. She replied to Charlotte's text but ignored both Ty's and Jay's. Her dark eyes glared down at her phone as she deleted the messages and sighed. Someone bumped into her chair and muttered a drunken apology that she quickly ignored. This was one of the reasons she hated coming to clubs and she had no idea what the hell she was doing there anyway. Pushing her hair back over her shoulders she stood up and was immediately swept along with teh crowd onto the dance floor where she danced with a few random guys before heading back to the bar and refusing a couple of offers to dance.

Emily Aqua Harper was about to leave when she caught sight of a very familiar face before it was lost in the crowd again. "Oh no!" she moaned as she covered her eyes with one hand. "Please, please, please not let it be him," Aqua mused to herself. Her dark violet eyes scanned the room once again but didn't see him again. That made her hope that she really hadn't seen him and that she mistook someone else for him. "I moved across country to avoid anything like this!" she muttered to herself as she grabbed her purse and paid the bar tender for her drinks. Her dark eyes lingering on the dance floor as she stood up only to get knocked back into her chair by a passing group of people. Sighing she stood up again turning her back toward the door as she asked the bar tender if he had the time.

[trentlawson]

Trent had a feeling that today was something important. Something he should remember, but couldn't. The night before he had gotten horribly drunk and still had a hangover. Not that he cared much, trying to forget everything caused it to happen. He knew he didn't provide the best home for his 3 Year old daughter, Ariel, but he didn't care much. He didn't want her in the first place, she was a mistake. He slept with a girl he didn't know at a party and ended up getting her pregnant & she died, so he ended up with the kid when he was sixteen years old. Being a father at that age is not easy, esspecialy when you don't even know how to take care of a kid, and you don't have parents to help you. She was at a baby sitters right now, so Trent took advantage of the time to go out. He couldn't get alcohol, but it would provide the same effect as going to a bar. Without the hangover the next day. Maybe he would find a hot girl and have some fun.

Trent had so many mistakes that he wished he could go back in time and change it. He would change a lot. His daughter would be one. He loved her, but she made his life the way it was. Not that he paid much attention to her. She spent more time at the baby sitters than with him. It was poor parenting, but the way he looked at it, he was in the prime of his life, and it was his time to have fun. Ari was 3 and very smart for a three year old. She always got upset when Trent dropped her off. She started asking about her mother, but Trent just ignores her. He travled all over with her. It was easier for him to move, since he sold off all horses. After saving Aqua, the girl he thought he would marry, from a rouge stallion, he thought it was time to get out of horses. Ariel loves horses, but Trent doesn't let her near them. He see's them as beasts. He went from horses being his life to not wanting anything to do with them.


Dancing, great way to meet girls right? Trent made his way onto the dance floor and made his way into a group of girls. Trent is a whore, and he started dancing dirty with the group of girls. He had no idea who they where, they didn't know him, and no matter how far he went with any of them tonight, he would never return thier calls. He would never see nor talk to them again. No matter how bad they wanted to talk to him. He was the typical "hit and run" type of guy. No committment for him. It scared him, the thought of it. He didn't want anouther kid. This doesn't mean he avoids doing the deed, it means he avoids ever talking to the girl again after he does it with them. If the girl randomly sleeps with him after they just met, theres no doubt he is not the only guy they slept with that week.

Trents eyes wandered, and he saw something very frightening. His stomach dropped, and he left the group, the girls looking mad. One flipped him off for just leaving. It was Aqua. He had never seen anouther girl with violet eyes and blonde hair like he had just seen. Maybe he was just seeing things. It was the effects of the hangover. Why would she be here? He had travled across the country. He seemed to run into her every where he went though. It had been about two years since he had seen her. He had never stopped loving her, never stopped caring. He knew he was bad for her, which was why he had left. Aqua! His voice rung out slightly, while he pushed his way through the crowd, looking for her. He made his way to the bar, and saw her, facing the barn tender. Aqua... He said quietly. He wanted to run up and talk to her, but he would probably get slapped. Uh, Hey,Aqua. He said loud enough for her to hear, running his fingers through his dark hair.

This was a mistake, Aqua thought to herself. There were several reasons she didn't like going to clubs. Too many memories. She ran a hand through her thick hair not sure how much longer she was gonna be sticking around. It was not something she really did and Aqua wasn't sure why she even came in the first place. It wasn't like she was much of a partier since she'd been raised in the type of society that didn't quite approve of that. Especially when you run in the same circles as "Well-bred people from upper class". Where everything had to be proper and accepted and right. Not that had always stopped her when she was with a group of friends and was too tired of doing the "proper" thing. Shaking her head as if to rid herself of those thoughts she headed out to the dance floor only to return not that much later. It just wasn't as fun as she remembered it being when she'd been with her friends.

Emily Aqua Harper was about to leave, having asked the bar tender the time, when she heard a voice that made her freeze in place. She did not turn around or answer since she was hoping it was all in her mind but when she heard the same voice calling her name again she knew that it was not. It still made her flinch as she heard him call her name. That was one voice she'd never forget and that she had never expected to hear, ever again. It had been two years since she had seen him last. And he had left her not the other way around.. That wasn't something she'd likely forget. And she had tried to, but those memories stuck with her no matter what she tried. Sighing, the young blond took a deep breath and turned around. Her eyes were dark, cold, and mistrusting. 'Uh, Hey, Aqua.' Aqua watched him not sure what to do. Part of her was happy to see him. Another part of her wanted to kill him. And another part of her just wanted to run away. "Hi," she managed to say in a semi-civil tone.

She could see the signs that he was using again, which meant he was drinking again, which also meant he was being a total idiot and not caring for his daughter. How the hell he managed not to get her taken away was beyond her comprehension. Aqua rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Nice," she muttered under her breath. He'd probably understand since they had, at one point in time, known the other very well, but, well, times change. And so do people. The disappointment, mistrust, and hurt were all very clear in her dark eyes. And, although hidden behind a light coating of make-up, her eyes were underlined by dark circles telling tales of her sleepless nights. But Aqua was sure he'd be able to figure out why she wasn't sleeping. It wasn't like her father's death - the date in particular, being that it had happened on her birthday - hadn't been in the newspapers everywhere. And there were other reasons, that he would know, that were causing her to be unable to sleep. Aqua shifted her weight on to her other foot as her eyes shifted to the door. Hesitation was all that kept her in that club. Her dark eyes flicked back to Trent as she waited unsure what this was about. She was sure Trent knew a lot of the reasoning behind her mistrust and hatred toward him but she also knew that there were reasons that he wouldn’t, couldn’t know since he had left her. He’d known so much about her, more than most people knew, and ever since he left her, she hadn’t been able to open up to anyone else like she had with him. Not even her once closest friend who had come to live with her family at Townsend for a short time before going back home to Montana and leaving her. That was one thing that Aqua hated. Being left and it had happened to her more times than she could count. Leaving her unwilling to get close to another person ever again.
