- Tears ran down her porcelain face as he told her how he saw her.
Or how he didn't see her.
"And I have only ever seen you in that light," she replied, furious that she sounded so meek in her conviction.
Surely it couldn't be that difficult to stop seeing her as a sister and start seeing her as something else? If he really wanted to.
"You know I would give you anything you asked for..."
The teen shook her head. She had believed that her entire life. And the look in her eyes was a lifetime's worth of trust shattering before her in one fell swoop. AN: total words are 110 but 10 are not mine.
Next prompt: Urgent

| "Where is Jackson?"
Victoria looked up as the doors flew open to their apartment. Usually choosing to knock, Sloan had a look upon her face that said matters needed to be handled.
"He told me to wait here, and that he would be bac-"
"Happy Valentine's Da- SLOAN!"
Jackson stood with only a small dickie bow tied around his neck, and a rose in his mouth.
Victoria hid a smile behind her hand.
"North Korea have just set off a nuke test."
"They do that every week!"
"This time it's urgent."
Victoria had already rushed past Jackson to find clothes.
Next prompt: It's five o'clock in the morning, conversation got boring... ________________________________________________ | |

- "Do you think I'm ugly?"
Aurore turned to her side, facing Alicient. Both girls should have been asleep long ago.
"No," the young heiress replied, observing Alicient's lustrous brown hair and delicate elfin features.
Her bedmate looked upset. "I wish I was though. Then no man would want to marry me and I can be left in peace."
Aurore considered this. "What would you do?"
"I don't know, maybe we could escape to one of the smaller houses. Maybe in Lyon. We could go to Lyon?"
Aurore Clement didn't reply, she knew where her place was. Next prompt: Severing all ties ________________________________________________ | |

| "What's the easiest way to get over her?"
The Frenchman was quite drunk as he turned his phone around, showing the picture of Kiranjeet that had been his phone background for quite a while now. He would miss the pity in his sister's eyes as he turned it back around, but not the soft touch of her hand as she gently coaxed the phone from his fingers.
"You have to sever all ties."
Jacques didn't quite understand, but as Azalea turned the phone back with the message of confirming the phone delete the folder called Kiranjeet he nodded.
Next prompt: And I shoulda known better, to lie to one as beautiful as you ________________________________________________ | |

- Azalea slipped into their bedroom, her footsteps silent. Jake didn't notice her come in, lost in thought.
The witch made her way quietly to him, nudging his hands apart so she could claim her usual place in his lap. The Auror didn't say anything, merely took a deep, longing whiff of her chocolate hair.
"When do you have to leave?"
"How'd you know?"
Azalea smiled sadly. "I always know."
Jake conceded that with a nod. "I don't know how to tell the kids."
Reaching up, she kissed him softly. "We'll tell them together, of course." Next prompt: Tequila and a cheap whore ________________________________________________ | |

| The front page of every newspaper spoke of it -- some were crass, some were delicate. But it all said the same about the First Family that lay broken.
They had a lost a child, or a sibling.
But Jackson was also losing himself.
Unfairly dragging them all through it, too.
"Do you want me to say something to dad, mom?" Tessa asked, carefully wiping away a tear from her cheek.
Victoria shook her head.
"It's okay, your dad has beaten this once, we'll make sure he does so again."
"Mom-"
"It's okay, Tessa. He'll work it out of his system."

"Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of thy love."
The words blurred into each other as the funeral service continued. And it wasn't just because he was drunk. Jackson doubted he would have heard his daughter's service more clearly if he hadn't donned half a bottle of whiskey before leaving for the church.
Victoria had done her best, removing the smell and fixing his collar. As if she could fuss the pain away.
And she hadn't let go of his hand once, becoming his sole focus throughout. . Next prompt: The truth ________________________________________________ | |

| "The truth?"
It was very out of character for Victoria to raise her voice like this, but she had tried every other option she possibly could to get Jackson to snap out of the stupor he'd been in in the months that had passed.
"The truth is that whilst you have been drinking yourself blind for the last eight months, I've looked after our six other children. On my own. Because not only did we lose a daughter that day, I also lost the man I married.
"If something doesn't change... I... don't know how much more I can take."
Next prompt: Drunk driving ________________________________________________ | |

- "Jacques, keys please?" She asked gently. The man shook his head, draped over her for support.
"I can drive," he mumbled, his lips accidentally making contact with her throat. Azalea stilled.
His lips continued, braving a kiss.
"You're drunk," she spoke softly, trying not to remember the last time this happened.
"Are you going to leave me too?" The Frenchman slurred, unfiltered.
The brunette smiled. "I'm driving you home, aren't I?" She fished his phone out of his pocket, swiping at the screen to unlock his car.
Only to see her own face smiling back at her. Next Prompt: I need a vacation! ________________________________________________ | |

| "But, think about it. White beaches, the sea... you in a bikini."
"Well, clearly you've thought about it." Azalea quipped back, and Jake didn't pretend to look sorry for his musings in the slightest.
"We haven't been on vacation together in... well, actually, I don't think we have been on holiday at all since you've been back. Now that Jacques is... doing better, can't we just get away, the two of us?
"I'm sure Clara will be happy to look after Adrienne for a bit!"
"Fine! But tell me more about the bikini..."
A grin spread across Jake's features.
Next prompt: Raging at a video game. ________________________________________________~ Auror ~ Profile ~ DADA Professor ~ ~ In a Relationship ~ 36 ~ Father ~ 6' ~ American Accent ~ | |
