Sara set Jordan down next to Gavin and Kelli as her and Mallory returend to the boat before swimming beside Kayla. They could see that as soon as Tamara had come over it was like nothing had changed for Kayla. She turtled up and rolled over. The effects of Tamara’s picking on Kayla were apparent. Sara felt a twinge of relatable pain.
“Don’t listen to her. You have actual friends now and she’s just jealous.” Sara said, trying to comfort Kayla a bit. She was well aware of what people like Tamara can do. How much their words, their antics can affect people. As to people like Charity and Tamara, it’s just jokes. When all too often it’s not a joke to the person it is happening to.
Kelli looked out at her sister from the boat. She was relieved that Sara and Mallory were able to help her. That they are there to console her sister. But it hurt not to be able to swoop in and protect her little sister. She was powerless before Tamara. Even if she threw herself at the giant Tamara she would be nothing more than an annoyance which could be flicked off or what would be more likely in this ocean sized pool she would merely end up drowned.
What surprised her more Sara. She hadn’t ever seen anyone defend another person with such vengeance. She knew there had to be a story there but figured she better not press it right now.
Jordan came up beside Kelli who looked over at her grabbing her hand seeing that she was having trouble with this. He knew what it’s like to be the one who protects your younger sibling. You watch out for them and fight with them of course. But you always have their back and just because you tease and torment them doesn’t mean others can. Not being able to fend off a bully would be sobering.
“Sara will protect her you know. She seems to really like Kayla as a friend.” Jordan said to Kelli who still could only watch her younger sister be consoled by Sara and Mallory
“It should be you know. I’m the one who always looks out for her because no one else will.” Kelli said defensively.
“You did a good job. But your watch may not be done but you can take a step back. She has friends who will stand up for her and a support structure she seems to have never had beyond you.” Jordan said to Kelli as she looked over at Sara, Mal and Kayla.
“You may be right it’s just hard being so helpless in this body. I hate it sometimes. I often think it would be easier if I had gotten Smallara when I was older. If i was 40 or 50 and had done things and lived a life it would still be difficult to give up but atleast I would have had time to experience life.” Kelli vented.
“I’ve had a alot of time to reflect this week and the conclusion I’ve kind of rested on is that it’s like life. It was never going to be enough time. We will always want another day, another moment, another minute. As there can always be one more thing we’d want to do. It’s similar to death in that way. When you are at the end whenever that may be 10 or 90 or somewhere in between. If you could have another day wouldn’t you? Most anyone would. Smallara is like that. Just be thankful for falling into a good situation and a good home.” Jordan said.
“You’re not wrong. Mallory isn’t perfect. I do love her. I realize that now and I’ve made my mistakes. But, if I could have another day full size I would. If I could get sick somewhere else, I would have. If It was any other day Sara would have found me instead of Mallory.” Gavin said.
“You really want Sara as guardian, don’t you? How would that play out with you dating Mallory.” Kelli asked.
“I just trust her. Sara and I have been friends for years. It’s not that Mallory doesn’t care. It’s just Sara I know no matter what would have my best interests at heart. As we have so much history. Almost literally our whole lives. I mean look at Jordan, she prioritizes his well-being and generally wants him happy. I’m sure there are disagreements and differing opinions on things but thats natural.” Gavin said leaning against the railing.
Well yeah. I do trust Sara. She is a good person from what I know of her. She has gone above and beyond what I would have expected. Although I could do without this collar. I do understand it is the law. So its inescapable.
“It better be escapable. I will not be wearing some kind of collar with Kayla’s name on it. She would never let me live that done. Branded as Kayla’s. As if I’m some kind of cow.”
Damn to straight back to back emotional chapter sorry I didn’t comment last time I was busy with work but I do love how the trio is bonding and reflecting on things in there life and damn Jordan hitting with those amazing bars about how much they wish they had more time and how it’s hard being an older sibling but can’t protect their younger siblings now. I’m loving this and now I hope Kelli decides to come more now that she saw what happened maybe even every day…hopefully of course and willingly to
Sorry guys I was busy with work yesterday but I’m back again with another FanFic baby
FanFic – Post Break Up – set 32 years in the future
Blake sat near the window looking at the night sky while hugging his knees thinking about his talking with her girlfriend…well Ex-girlfriend now after today. “I don’t get it….things were fine before did I do something wrong … say something wrong ….no it’s because of what I am…. I just know it” Blake thought. Earlier that day “Look Blake….I don’t think this can work…I …I can’t date you anymore…please don’t be mad….we can still be friends right?” back to the prenset “ still be friends? When has that ever made anyone feel better let alone good about a breakup up”. The door opens and three women carrying four people come in “Great they found out already…just my luck” Blake thought.
The girl dropped off the little and first to hug Blak was Charlie his sister “Hey” she said “Hi” Blake said back in a blank tone showing his emotion at a low “Do you want to talk about it?” she asked “No” he flat out said not wanting to talk about his feeling or the breakup. “Sorry dude…I…I get the feeling and I understand” Finn said “No you don’t” Blake said back. Jordan walks in front of him with Kelli next to him putting a hand on his shoulder “But I do ….. Son, you’re not the first to deal with a break and you won’t be the last this stuff happens even to the best of us” Jordan said telling his son that this kind of stuff happens.
“…I thought…I thought she was the one….my first true love…sniff…I thought we were going to be together forever..” Blake said trying to hold back tears the 16-year-old boy was new to the feeling of loss and heartbreak Jordan could tell “Blake….sigh … I once thought I found the one …. Before I got smallara I was with another woman before your mother….I too thought we would spend our lives together …until we broke up …. I spent so much time trying to make sense of it doing stupid stuff like buying a house I couldn’t afford and a car just to look like I was adult enough to be with her….it’s always the first loves that hurt the most after breaking apart…but I promise it does get better and the people right here will always be there for you” Jordan said while Kelli put her hand on Blake’s cheek to wipe away the tears.
Sara, Chole, and Ellie nodded in agreement wanting to make the young smallborn feel better knowing his former girlfriend was Human but with the knowledge of dating a smallborn going around the school she crumbled under the pressure and broke up with a kind-hearted little who gave her his heart and love only to throw it away “her loss” Sara thought and huffed as Chole held her hand knowing this news upsetting her the most. “She said she wanted to be friends….I …don’t know how this gets better Dad….I don’t see it getting any better” Blake said as he started to cry “It will son I promise it will” Jordan said hugging his sound with everyone else joining in the family hug.
Part of me wonders what Kelli will be like knowing she doesn’t need to protect her sister from bullies. Maybe she and Kayla can find ways to experience life. I think Kelli needs to tell Kayla what she told jordan and Gavin. Kayla isn’t heartless and would probably find ways for Kelli to have some semblance of life. Hell I bet there is a Littles football(soccer for us lol) leagues that she can join and kick ass in.
True I would love it if Kelli does that
I know right? Could you imagine Kayla, sarah, and everyone in the stands watching Kelli dominate on the pitch? Only time will tell if these talks happen though. Either through smallara main or Kayla’s story. Like I could understand this not being the norm for smallborns, but smallara victims basically lost a life they were promised…there should be some empathy for them and they should be accommodated some how like how what’s his name (barely read birthday shipment) can at least keep teaching, albeit not at the level he wanted to and definitely not for the reason he wanted
You are really going all out on these fanfics. Its weird thinking about these characters 32 years in the future. It seems so far from where I ever pictured them timewise. But also that’s how time works.
Yeah what can I say it a fun to do and think about haha
I feel for Kelli. I hope we see her and Kayla talk as I think they need to. I’m glad the Jordan and Gavin were there to help.
For gavin, again, it sucks seeing someone you’re so close to but are never allowed to interact with. That’s a huge negative about guardian Mallory. person Mallory at least is protective and considerate to her friends, but damn if guardian Mallory doesn’t seemingly want gavin to have any friends or connections other than her.
Jordan’s accepted it. It’s good, but still sucks. At least on some level he’s able to have a dialog with sarah.
1) “it’s not a joke to the person it is happening to” pot, meet kettle.
2) Sara’s really latched onto friendship with Kayla quickly, it’s nice that she’s got friends but it’s been less than a day.
3) “You have actual friends now” and how the fuck would you describe Talisa?
3) Sara praise, yuck.
4) I’d say I’m actually most sorry for Gavin here, his preferred guardian is within reach, he’s literally looking at her, but can’t do anything. If the discussion about his guardianship involved him and wasn’t just Mal and his mother, I’m certain he’d have gotten with Sara.
5) no Kelli you will be collared, but I’m sure Kayla will ley you pick one out, and that you’ll be able to accessorise it fashionably. I recommend a scaf.
3) Idk if talisa is popular enough to be in their radar.
4) agreed. I get that “it’s life” and he’s dealing with the repercussions of his decisions, but dude is 16. I mean the 3 of them are all seemingly under 25 (idk about Kelli’s age) but been a teenager you don’t really run across choices that will effect the outcome of the rest of your life, especially those in a private school like this, though gavins not very rich I understand so he might have some struggles. Anyway, I don’t remember anything I did when I was 16 that’s had consequences like the ones gavins facing that have followed me to 30. Thats the real reason I feel bad for him outside of just being isolated because Mallory is too controlling to do anything else, which again, there should be consequences in the form of gavins mental health if she keeps snatching him away from Kelli and Jordan. Like guardian Mallory has to have some kind of karmic retribution like that at some point. No one is lucky enough to do stuff like that forever without some splash back
Though I guess I have bias as I wasn’t in a bad living situation like teenagers can be (abusive family, neglect, poverty) so I recognize that can have long term affects on a person’s life, I just don’t think gavin heavily falls into that category.
3) That’s possible, might be Asukafan2001’s response too.
4) their ages are Gavin 15 (all the kids in his grade are) Kelli 22, Jordan 24. I also get where you’re coming from, but I’d say his mum and Mal making this decision behind his back isn’t the result of his decisions. It’s their fault, his mum could/should have asked who he wanted as a guardian, let him pick from his trained friend, not just quit trying her self and palm him off.
Personally I suspect Mal payed his mother off so she could have Gavin, but that’s just a suspicion.
Yeah, at my lowest point I’ve never been as bad as them, but I know trauma lingers like it will with them.
1) I dont know what you mean Sara would never.
2) Sara’s kind of shepherding her along to a better life.
3) that is my response. No one knows in that group who Talisa is outside of Kayla and Kelli.
As far as they know Kayla had no friends and Kayla hasn’t brought them up to them really.
4) Yeah, I would agree. It would be frustrating for Gavin. He probably has had it worse even though he has also mostly to blame for his situation unlike the others.
It is true he wasn’t directly asked about Mal being his guardian. But he is also assuming Sara would do it as its not like she had been asked either. Plus how do you ask someone to basically pay thousand and thousands of dollars and take in your child. Mallory offered its not like his mom went out and sought this deal out.
5) You nailed it on the head. She can at best hope for a scarf or something to cover it up for find a collar she likes.
4) which is something I chalk up to my person category for mallory. I mean, unless there’s something lethal hasn’t mentioned, I don’t really see any alterior/malicious motives for her doing that unless my theory that she legitimately wants to ruin his life for almost cheating on her is true. She just didn’t want him getting sent to a facility or his mom to get him just to not be able to keep up with the financial parts and lose him. Sarah is the perfect scenario for sure as guardian Mallory just isn’t attentive to his needs and basically projects her perfect idea of gavin onto him to the point where he has no say, as someone pointed out yesterday
1) oh, I must be thinking of another girl, I think her name’s Amber Reeves.
2) yeah, it’s just a quick connection.
3) I’m glad you acknowledged it. I was half expecting you to sarcastically pretend you hadn’t read C M’s response, lol.
4) Tantalus ain’t got shit on Gavin Bak.
he didn’t as Sara because he thought his mother would, she was supposed to be getting herself trained and becoming his guardian, has he been told about the change of plan before he became Mallory’s he may have asked for Sara. Probably would be awkward making a request like that, but we also know Sara wanted a little, so that would help make it easier. Or she might offer if she saw him.
5) I actually really like the idea of Kayla wearing a matching collar as an act of solidarity with Kelli. But I also hate the idea of Kayla doing as Tamara has told her, so I’m conflicted about it.
Right, so yeah 20s you start making those kinds of choices cause of college/uni and I can see those having a lifeong affect, especially in the United States lol but man, 15 and losing any potential and then having someone just cut you off from/sparingly allowing access to your old life is just awful.
Does gavin ever get to see or talk to him mom?
We know he was mostly living with her before Mal became his guardian, but I don’t know if he’s seen her since, personally I’d love to see that confrontation between him and her.
Damn…that’s way rough considering she’s a single mom from what I remember and he doesn’t have siblings. Especially if the thought never even crossed her mind, which I wouldn’t be surprised from her guardian stand point, but maybe his mom reaches out and asks and it appeals to her humanity.
Yeah, there’s likely a feelings of abandonment he’d feel from her
