"And here I thought you could rally." Amelia quipped back, tempted to be an asshole and keep talking even louder but instead she surrendered and just plopped down into the seat across from him. "And here I also thought I'd be nice and maybe buy you a cup of coffee and a muffin or something, but if you're gonna keep being moody I can just get my own. Maybe even spike it..." and as she said it she pulled a little mini bottle of whiskey out of her bag and cracked it open, playfully waving it under his nose for a second because okay, she was still a bit of an asshole. She quickly brought it back to herself though, capping it again and tossing it back into her bag. "For real though, what will make you feel less like death? I'll take pity and buy."

"I'm so fucking hungover." Rhys groans under his breath, pressing his fingers into the side of his head. "Can you lower your voice?" He grumbles, flicking his gaze up to the person standing by the table. "We're inches away from each other I don't need you to yell at me."

Amelia snorted out a laugh and just shrugged, "You should say that again inside, maybe get me a lil bonus or something for the promotion." not that she really needed the money since she had plenty of her own now- but still. "Any sort of cheesecake is a godsend if you ask me but yeah, strawberry is number one. And yeah! I was there for about three months. The Moulin Rouge is pretty tourist trappy, but the area it's in was my favorite- Montmartre. Definitely worth the trip just to be around there. Yanno, if you ever go."

"Who needs social media when we got our own spokes person here in front of me." Gracie jokingly stated smiling, and nodded her head. "Not going to lie....strawberry cheesecake are my absolute favorite so you have me sold there. Whoa you went to Paris? The whole moulin rouge? Damn and her baked goods are that worthy? Damn where's Gordan Ramsey to test that."

🍺 - How does your muse feel about the consumption of alcohol? Do they drink? Are they a heavy drinker, or are they on the lighter side? What’s your muse’s favorite alcoholic drink?

"I wouldn't say heavy drinker cause I'm not about to become a bumfuck like my father, but I drink fairly often and have since I was about fourteen. It just helped...numb shit? Made life tolerable. I'm not exactly a cosmo kinda girl though, so I don't do cocktails and usually stick to like, a Jack and Coke. I do love wine though, especially after spending the last few months with my grandparents in Paris, so if I'm not drinking the hard stuff, more likely than not I'll have a few glasses of cab."

Aries: Favourite movie?

"The Lost Boys. I watched it a million times as a kid and maybe a six year old shouldn't have been watching a vampire melting away with a holy water garlic bath, but hey. And ironically enough my favorite Disney movie is Peter Pan. Maybe little me thought Neverland's lost boys were actually vamps too? I dunno."

19. has your muse ever been diagnosed with any sleep disorders?

"I've never been diagnosed with shit but I guess having really bad nightmares sometimes isn't exactly normal? Like those night terror kinds...I dunno. Whatever. When those happen I just take a dab off my pen and hope it helps me knock back out."

where - by the food trucks

Amelia had only been back in Aurora Bay for a week but she'd come back just in time for one of the many festivities the little town always put up. She'd been hoping to find one of her brothers, but in her search, she spotted someone else instead.

Asher was...a weird one for her. Because he was cool with one brother, and he'd been someone Amelia had spent time with whenever she hung around at the surf shop. But he was also the asshole that broke her other brother's heart years ago, and even though it was all in the past, she still had all her little sister right to be bitter forever. So, she wasn't quite sure where she stood with him, but considering the line for food was long and he was way closer up, she decided to take her chances and cut about 11 people to saddle up next to him. "Any recommendations?"

"Oh--yeah, I get that. Pretty sure they can do no wrong here though, everything is always spot-on." Amelia told her with a nod before she snorted out a laugh, "Again, bias. My sister-in-law is the baker here so I gotta hype her up, but I'd get a salted caramel brownie like once a week. Oh! And the strawberry cheesecake bites. I just came back from Paris and yet still a lot of what she makes I've preferred."

"They do sound amazing, I do enjoy a good blueberry...lemon on the other hand it depends, the taste can be too sour for my liking but I think the blueberry should cancel out." Gracie flashed a friendly smile, "Do you have any other recommendation? I'm always up for trying new things, especially baked goods."

After spending the last three months in Paris, Amelia admittedly was going to be a bit picky for now in terms of wine and foods and, of course, pastries. But that said, Sweet Nothings still had some of the best desserts she'd ever had (especially since her sister-in-law was the baker) which was why she was on her way there now when she heard the comment and she laughed, "You should try the blueberry lemon ones, they're fucking incredible. And I'm not just saying that with familial bias."

Gracie was stressed, which was normal for her. She wanted to make sure her designs were good enough to not be rejected but of course it didn't go as planned so instead of crying about it, she decided to go grab baked goods to make herself feel better. Gracie turned to look at the other and waved the chocolate croissant. "I'm just saying, these chocolate croissants are the best."

Amelia felt a relief rush through her the moment she flung herself into her brother's arms. This was the first time they'd been apart for more than a couple of days since she'd first moved away from Aurora Bay and honestly, she kinda hated it. Wes had always been her safe space, an anchor, and when she'd been here without him, and then when she'd first gone to Paris, she felt a bit wayward, not really sure what to do without her big brother pointing the way. But she'd figured it out, and felt like the distance and time apart helped them both grow and, really, just strengthened their bond--because god she'd missed him and just wanted to catch him up on everything.

"You call me that as if there's not just like, three years between us." Nearly four, but still.

She hugged him for a few more long moments before finally pulling away from him just as he ruffled her hair and she huffed as she poked at his side, playfully swatting his hand away. "It was amazing. And they are amazing. Fuck, you need to get there one day. Somehow. With Liza of course. And the baby. Oh my god, tell me we can go straight to see the baby? I miss my niece." She was rambling and she knew it but she didn't care because she was just so excited. She left his side for a moment then, just long enough to grab her bags she'd just left a few feet behind her before going back to him. "And you? How's your time been without me being a nuisance in your life every day?"

Admittedly, Wes was a bit wary of their grandparents when they first started talking to his little sister. Wes vaguely recalled meeting them once when he was little but they hadn't seen them since. The Evans' were never close to their mother's side of the family, and Wes used to think that was merely because most of them lived in France, but now he was pretty sure it had more to do with Laurence keeping their mother a part from her own family. It was yet another way he chose to control her.

But after talking to them for a long time, Wes thought maybe it would be good to have a relationship with them and that maybe it would be good for Amelia to take such a big trip. Wes wished he could've gone with her but he didn't want to miss a second with Elise. Besides, that was borderline child abandonment, wasn't it?

Wes made sure to stay in contact with Amelia while she was gone, sending her pictures and updates of Elise and asking her how her trip was and what their grandparents were like in person. He was happy for her to finally have good things happening to her. Admittedly, he kind of missed her, especially since the distance reminded him of how he'd stayed behind in Salem while she first moved to Aurora Bay. So Wes was excited to go pick her up from the airport.

Wes was standing by Esme's car she'd let him borrow (since he'd yet to get his own) as he waited for his sister. He heard her before he saw her, and he rolled his eyes as he watched her run towards him. "Hey, kiddo!" He greeted her as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders in a hug, giving her a squeeze before pulling away and ruffling her hair just to annoy her. "You have a good time?"

After being picked up at the airport by Wes and pausing to see Liza and Elise and then stopping by their aunt Esme's, Amelia finally made her way into town with her next destination in mind: Jared. She'd spent so much of her life angry at her eldest brother for abandoning her and Wes and leaving them to fend for themselves against their father, but after living here in Aurora Bay for nearly five years (and with a lot of coaxing from Esme), Amelia finally forgave Jared for what he'd done, and they'd slowly but surely mended their relationship.

Now next up to bat was getting her brothers to fully mend their own relationship- and it was happening, even if slower than she'd like. Oh well.

Entering the familiar shop after being away for three months, Amelia looked around with a smile on her face, not even asking permission as she waltzed through the employee only door and found her way to where Jared was, her smile just growing once she spotted him from behind. "Miss me?"

where- airport outside of Aurora Bay

Amelia didn't think she'd ever get to go to Paris, let alone for her birthday, and doubly let alone that it'd go from just a week-long trip to one that lasted nearly three months, but that's exactly what'd happened. Their grandparents, Rosalie and Theo, had been reaching out and inviting their grandchildren to spend time with them. Wes obviously couldn't take them up on it because of Elise, but after some persuading, Amelia packed a bag and headed off in January, spending the next few months just getting to know her family in France (and drinking lots of wine and eating lots of delicious food). Finally though she knew it was time to go back home to Aurora Bay. She wanted to be with her brothers and her niece, wanted to finish up school. She'd be back though- no doubt about it.

Needing a whole extra bag just for all the clothes and souvenirs she'd bought there that she needed to bring back home, Amelia trekked it back to California, letting Wes know her ETA and all and keeping him updated until finally she was back in the States and in the airport, making her way through the crowds to get her luggage and all until she was outside and then finally, finally she saw the familiar figure of her brother and a grin broke out on her face as she just left her bags and started sprinting the rest of the way "Wes!"

Amelia never exactly got into art (or, well, she liked art, but she couldn't even draw a circle without it being wonky) so art shows like this always piqued her attention- even if she could never in a million years afford fancy art pieces on her own without some monetary help from her aunt. Milling around, she paused in front of one of them, and when she looked up and realized it was the artist herself in front of her, Amelia let out a breath, a little smile pulling onto her lips. "This stuff's pretty incredible. I don't think I could ever imagine making like....wires and things into art. More like just twisting old hangars to fit into the trash but, yeah. It's impressive."

"Thanks for coming, I really appreciate it—" And heaven knew that she did. Having all her new pieces out on display like this felt like sharing a piece of her soul with the world. It's why her arms kept wrapping around her body in some kind of protection, shielding herself. "If you see anything that speaks to you.. you know.. I'm right here."

Amelia practically had her own stool at the bar over at Tejas Cantina given how often she was there. But how could one ever pass up margaritas and tacos? Especially after being abroad for the last few months. So here she was now, pounding chips and waiting for the bartender to come around so she could order a tequila shot when she heard the comment. "Pretty sure I have a life crisis every six months so I can't really comment on it." She mused, licking some salsa off her thumb. "But the whole...drop everything, buy a Harley thing? Nah, can't say I've been that fucked yet. Why- you at that point? Cause if so, you're welcome to have my shot when it comes. Ya might need it more than me."

tw: parental abuse, tw: underaged drinking, tw: underaged drug use

Amelia Rosalie Evans was the baby of her family, and an oopsie one at that. Her mother though, Ada, had always wanted a daughter, so there was an excitement in the Evans household when news broke that Ada would be having a girl. And for years as a child, Amelia's life was good. Her mother was sweet and her father was a dutiful man on the Salem police force, her oldest brother Jared was cool enough with her despite their decade age gap, and Amelia was closest with her other brother, Wes, the two of them bonding over their love of books and music, often inseparable as they got older. That was all before though. Before Laurence had had his first traumatic night on the job. Before he became abusive. Amelia didn't even know what'd triggered it, just remembered being ten years old and sitting on the couch reading, and then hearing yelling, and then seeing her brother's blood. She never wanted to see that again--unfortunately though, that night was only the beginning.

Laurence had utterly changed after that night, and while he'd always been rather...difficult to be around, after that it'd just went downhill. He drank himself into stupors, and into anger, taking it out on his sons, but at least he never went after her. It took a long time for Amelia to realize that the reason she wasn't come after was because Wes took the brunt of it for her, to ensure that she didn't go through the same traumas he did. And to an extent, it'd worked. She didn't go through the same traumas, but she had her own. She still walked on egg shells for years, still jumped at every loud noise. She had nightmares and fears and was always terrified of it getting worse one day. That one day he'd hurt Wes too much and then he'd leave too--just like Jared one day did.

It went on like that for years, and as Laurence grew more and more angry and awful of a person, the Evans siblings found ways to cope. Amelia was thirteen when she had her first beer, barely fourteen when she had her first cigarette. Smoking and drinking and hooking up at random, these little escapes helped her tolerate how shitty her home life was, and how angry she was that they all put up with it. She was fifteen the one and only time her father hurt her. Laurence caught her smoking and when she just scoffed in his face because the disdain was rich coming from him, he snatched it out of mouth, snuffing it out on her skin, the grip on her arm bruising and the alcohol wafting off his breath making her want to gag. The memory was still as prevalent in her mind as the burn scar still on her bicep. She didn't stop smoking after that (or drinking), she just got better at hiding it. It went on like that for years too, with Amelia using getting drunk or getting high to get through their shitty home life while just trying to get through school, all the while still angry at their mother for not listening to their aunt Esme who was offering them a way out- to come live with her in California, in a little town called Aurora Bay. But Amelia wouldn't go without Ada and especially not without Wes. No way. One sibling already bailed...she didn't want to follow suit.

But by the time Amelia turned seventeen, her bitterness had grown against Ada for just not leaving their piece of shit father. And all the while, it was Wes trying to convince her to leave, constantly pushing for Amelia to get out and go west and finally life a safe and normal life. Her big brother was like her best friend and surely he'd come along...except he wouldn't, which just further upset her. And as angry as Amelia was with him at wanting to stay, she knew he wouldn't budge- they were all stubborn in their own ways, and so finally after ages of coaxing her to..Amelia finally went on her own, making him swear to at least text her every day so she knew he was okay.

Once there, She found out Jared had gone to Aurora Bay as well and slowly overtime, she became close with her eldest brother again. She did her senior year of high in Aurora Bay high and was immediately the new girl in school, secretive, alluring. She lived with Esme on Aurora Bay Drive, suddenly having more money at her disposal than she even knew what to do with. She managed to make a few friends, dated, started having a life here, but she still always worried about Wes. She ached for him to be here too, to know he was safe, but still, he stayed in Salem. After graduating high school, Amelia got a job at the crystal shop in town, Luxe, because it made her feel closer to him, having spent years learning about crystals and wicca from him. She enrolled into college. She made a life for herself here, but there was still something missing. A wes-shaped hole that hadn't been filled in her life.

Until finally, finally, Wes had arrived--bruised and broken but he was here and Amelia was determined to help put him back together. She was all for it when he got his own apartment, when he got a job. She remembered the first night he let slip about his boss' daughter. She remembered him freaking out when he got said boss' daughter knocked up- but also got to watch him grow into his own, practically maturing in front of her own eyes as he and Liza got closer, fell in love, got married and had their baby- one Amelia was totally obsessed with.

Finally, her life felt...stable. It felt good. So over Christmas break when their grandparents in Paris contacted them, offered to fly them out, while Wes obviously couldn't go...Amelia took them up on the offer. She flew out in January, meaning to just go for a couple weeks but she ended up staying for a couple months, living with her grandparents and just getting all she could out of it. She's finally decided to come back home though, back to Aurora Bay. She wants to finish school, wants to see her niece growing up, and she wants to just live a content life without the shadows of their father around every corner.
