Dreams of Ice Cream

[Emo]

Removing herself from the car, she let her hand run along the curves and glossy finish. Smiling she looked back over to Amber. ”Their ice cream is so good.” She drew out the word so, emphasizing on their delicious frozen food. Walking up to the door she opened it, waiting for Amber to go through before entering herself. Looking over the parlor she smiled, ready to put something into her empty stomach. Bouncing up to the counter she quickly ordered a mango smoothie with lemon pie ice cream, double sized. How hungry could she be? ”While I was driving I was thinking of hairstyles. What do you think of your original hair color with a few blonde and hot pink highlights. Not to misinterpret but you seem like the kind of girl to like outrageous colors and patterns, am I right?” Seb patiently waited. She was thinking of either a loose curl or a straight V cut layering to give it volume. Tight curls would not work with Amber’s face, no matter how hard you tried.

OOC//: XD corny title. Party for corny titles! *dances*

[Aquired]

OOC: lmao XD

Amber got out of the car, and through the door, smiling at Seb for holding open the door. She ordered blue moon cookie dough ice cream and a cherry smoothie, and waited. Yeah. A while back I had white in my hair. Red too. Then I dyed it back to black and added some blue. Hot pink and blonde.. Sweet. Outrageous colors in my hair, yes. Sometimes my clothes. Plaid is awesome.

She tried to think of what she could do with her hair. She wasn't a fan of curls. Layering, she loved. Straight hair was awesome too. She wanted her bangs to stay, though. She knew that. Currently, her bangs had grown covering her left eye. She liked them, but she wanted them a little shorter so they weren't always in her face.

[Emo]

Picking up her finished smoothie she sipped slowly. The cold ran a chill through her body, but it felt good compared to the overly hot day. Listening with directed attention she never missed a word. ”OK, so blonde and pink highlights it is. I’m thinking random blonde highlights with pink tips? That should work nicely with your chosen dress. Obviously we won’t be cutting too much off the length, wouldn’t want to lose that length you have.” Grabbing her ice cream she chose a booth next to a shaded window, sliding in effortlessly. ”Layers, lots of layers. With bangs just covering your eye but making them still visible. Wouldn’t want to cover those eyes either. I think this will work out quite well, quite well indeed.” Seb smiled. She couldn’t wait to get Amber to her hairdresser. She did wonders with everybody.

[Aquired]

She grabbed her ice cream and smoothie and sat down. It was only an ice cream cone, that's all she wanted. She started to eat it. Sounds good.. Where are we going to get my hair done?

She pictured the described haircut in her mind. It looked sweet. She couldn't wait. A few minutes later, she finished her ice cream cone. Everyone said she was a fast eater, and apparently she was. She sipped her smoothie. Crap. Brainfreeze. She put her thumb on the roof of her mouth, and shortly after, it was gone.


OOC: We're gonna have to search for a pic of what she looks like when we're done.. xD

[Emo]

”My hairdresser. Down at the mall. She does an awesome job with everybody that goes in there. As she should, I pay good money to get the first slot on the list emptied so I can get my hair done. Selfish, I know. But when I’m in a rush I need it done.” Seb sipped as she watched Amber down her ice cream cone so fast she almost felt the brainfreeze herself. But she couldn’t help but let out a small laugh before restraining it again. ”Maybe you should eat slower?” She let out another chuckle before spooning out a scoop of her ice cream. It was in a dish, she didn’t like cones they tastes so fun to her. ”So far, I have two guys I can think of to hook you up with. I saw this new guy at the stables. I think his name was Damien, or something like that. He has a stud. But he’s 18. Another guy I saw roaming around, without a horse. I think he was just looking. He hasn’t been back for a bit though. I heard him talking to another person. But I think I caught his name, I believe it was Amona. What a weird name. But I have to admit, h seemed a lot like the kind of guy you’d be into. Not making any conclusions since I barely know you. He looked Egyptian though, kind of weird.” Seb tried to rethink of the mental image she had saved of the guy.

”He had black hair, blacker than yours. It was shaped … oddly, but in a good way. Definitely well built and so polite. Had to be about 6’2”, maybe 6’4” at the most. He was really nice to whoever he was talking to.” At first glance he had seemed like the depressed, emo/gothic type. But he wasn’t. Seb wondered if she’d be able to see him again. If not, that was truly a loss. He almost gave Colt a run for his money in the looks department.

OOC//: Shouldn’t be hard *stares at Photoshop* Did you know that the recolor brush is so useful when it comes to changing the color of something? Btw, the guy she’s talking about is a possible new character that I’m hoping to get permission from Hope to create. I already have his bio halfway done right now.

[Aquired]

Haha. I don't know if I can eat slower. I always eat this fast. It's my normal rate. He sounds interesting. Amona is a strange name... Egyptian.. Awesome. Wow.. I'm only 5'11.. Haha.

From her description, he did seem like the kind of guy she'd like. She wanted to meet him now. She slowly drank her smoothie. They were thick. You could only drink them so fast. She tried to imagine Amona. Making her want to meet him even more.

She decided to wait for a reply from Seb before she said anything else.



OOC: Dude. you can edit her picture then xD If you want, I can give you Amber's unedited picture [without the textures and fonts] Ironic thing; on IMVU, a guy from eqypt asked me out. He had black hair and looked emo. Ironic, eh? xD I said no, of course. Long distance relationships dont work out. Especially online XD

[Emo]

Seb laughed at Amber’s remark. Couldn’t really blame her though. If food was always this good Seb would have trouble eating slow too. As Amber spoke of Amona she smiled. She knew she would like him. From what it sounds like Amber had had trouble with a previous relationship, she just needed a good guy to help her get out of the past and into the brighter future. ”Hopefully he’ll be back around. I was hoping to catch him before he left that day but never got a chance.” She tried again to get a better mental image. ”He did have piercings, all on his face as far as I know, or what I saw. Two in his bottom lip and five on each ear. At the time he had … spikes in his lower lip. But his hair. I can’t get over his hair. It is so hard to explain. Let me draw it out for you”

Sipping at her smoothie she pulled a notepad from her tote bag, along with a pencil and an eraser. Tapping the pencil on the table she thought of his looks, pulling out certain features that she’d need to stress. Quickly her hand flew across the page, forming almost a mirror image of his face and what he had been wearing that day. It was a good thing she wanted to major in art, she was good at it and she knew it. She quickly finished up the quick sketch and handed the notepad to Amber, waiting for her reaction.

OOC//: Amona NOTE*: This picture doesn't belong to me, it's rightful owner is the artist on dA. I take no credit for this image /at all/. And she just drew his face, not his entire body. Couldn't get just a head shot that was plain enough from the original artist. She does such an awesome job though XD | And for Amber’s pic, it would help without the textures but I’ll see what I can do with them ^^ And on the whole egyptian thing, very creepy. But he probably wasn't as hot as Amona will be XD

[Aquired]

OOC: Lmao xD

She picked up the notepad, staring at it for a minute. Okay, Now I really want to see him. Wait, Did I just say that out loud? Damnit. Haha, oh well. I just hope he turns out to be a lot better than my ex... I don't know how to tell what happened with me Ex..

She was lost in thought again. Not a good thing for her. She focused on the present and her smoothie. She loved cherries. Especially cherry juice in sprite soda. Oh, and red pop. Those two pretty much tasted the same.

OOC[again]: Now I want cherries ._.

[Emo]

Seb almost fell over laughing when Amber spoke. She couldn’t blame her though. He was out of the ordinary. ”Maybe you will. Hopefully I can get him to go the lounge. I’ll see if my parents know his parents, and if not … I’ll just have to stalk him for you.” She smiled before taking the notepad back and ripping the paper out of it. Pulling off those annoying little tabby things on the ripped side she balled them up and threw them in the trashcan. Folding up the paper she handed it back Amber for her to keep. Might as well keep a reminder in case this fell through to rock bottom.

”Hmm … start from wherever you want to. And just go from there. It’s so much better to let it out instead of holding it. Let other people share your emotions on the subject. It’s better to know that you have friends who’ll surround you when you need instead of desert you.” Sitting back she settled in to listen patiently. No doubt this would be hard for Amber. Nobody walks away from a relationship with abuse without a few scars.

OOC//: Cherries make me sick D:

[Aquired]

She took the picture from Seb, and put it in her pocket.

Haha. Stalker. I'll help stalk him.

She thought of where to start about her past. She didn't know. She decided to talk without thinking. Otherwise, she'd chicken out. Miss parts of it, and it wouldn't make sense. She had to look down. She had problems talking to people looking straight at them, when it was something sad, or depressing, or personal. She started fiddling with her sleeves.

She had tears in her eyes. Well, uh. I don't say his name much.. It was J.. Jake. Every now and then I think of things that's happened to us.. He.. was abusive.. Majorly abusive... He would hit me just for not wanting to do something. He hit me whenever he got mad. Even if he wasn't mad at me. He also cheated on me.. And then he pretended that he never cheated. He hit me once before we went into target.. I didn't want to go.. He forced me.. He.. tried to force me to do other things, too..

She rolled up her sleeves so Seb could see her wrists. There were about 6 scars on each arm. There were a few that were newer. Still red. You could see where the blood dried. I did this.. because of him.. He hit me for doing this. He tried telling me he loved me. I know he didn't. He couldn't have. I was 14. Almost 15. Everytime someone came up from me from behind, I'd scream, thinking it was him. Usually when I space out, I'm remembering things he's done to me.. She waited for a reply.

OOC: gasp. they do? ._. Thinking about food right now is making me sick

[Emo]

Sitting back farther into her seat she watched Amber with patience and gentle warmth. Understanding was a key virtue in a conversation such as this. She listened attentively. As Amber finished up Seb had a worried gaze around her face. ”Amber, why didn’t you just leave him? I mean, you couldn’t have been tied to him could you? Nobody, no human being with personal feelings, should endure that kind of pain.” Her voice was sympathetic as she spoke. Soft, quiet. As if she was speaking to an upset child. ”I can’t say I understand where you’ve been and what you’ve been through, that’d be a lie. I’ve had such a cushioned life I’d give it up to somebody like you so you could feel what a good life is supposed to feel like.”

Seb put her smoothie down and looked out the window. She wanted to punish everybody who’s ever hurt anybody she knew, or just women in general. So many abusers’, so much pain. Why must men use size against them? Just because they were smaller than most men doesn’t mean that they can’t stand up for themselves.

Of course Seb hadn’t missed Amber’s marks, who could? The poor girl. She felt so sorry for her. ”Amber if you need a place to stay you can have the guest room at my house for a few days. My parents won’t mind. And I’ll see what I can do for those scars of yours. They’re just reminders of the past, and easily erased.”

[Aquired]

She was crying now. Tears silently running down her face. No. I was afraid to leave him. I was afraid of him. Uh, thanks. I'm.. afraid to be alone, currently. It sucks. He's hit me so many times.. He made me bleed by hitting me.. The things he's tried to make me do.. You can probably guess.. My scars.. Some wont fade. You can still see the marks they left.

She rolled her sleeves back down, trying her best to stop crying. So many times I thought about suicide... I even attempted it.. But.. I don't want people to see me as the suicidal cutter. I just need someone to talk to about this.. She sighed, still, a few tears.

I'm just afraid to get close to another guy.. I.. don't want this to happen again..

[Emo]

Seb felt uncomfortable with Amber crying now, but she continued to listen carefully. Standing up she grabbed all her stuff and gently pulled on Amber’s arm as she continued to talk. Pulling her into the bathroom she checked all of the stalls to make sure they were all empty. Once satisfying her need for privacy she grabbed a few towels and handed them to Amber. ”Yeah, I understand how hard it can be when you hook up with the wrong type of guy. Not all guys are evil and abusive though. Colt’s a sweet guy, one of very few. I don’t think anybody around Elysium would want to hurt you. I know I won’t.” She softly wiped away some of the loose tears, making sure not to smear any of Amber’s makeup. It’d be hard to redo it. ”Look, once the lounge opens up I’ll find you a nice guy. You can get past the memories of harsh words and scarring wounds. Everybody can. But it takes effort.”

[Aquired]

She went with Seb to the bathroom, and took the towels handed to her. She dabbed her makeup, careful not to mess it up.

Thanks.. Really. Do.. Do you think we'd be able to find Amona.. Outside of the lounge? And.. Who's Colt? She wasn't crying anymore, her face was red, and her eyes, too, from tears, but at least she wasn't crying. She thought she'd cry again. She didn't want to. She wanted something to take her mind off of what had happened.

[Emo]

”No worries Amber. You’ll be fine once everything gets sorted out.” Hopping onto the counter Seb sat comfortably, sipping the smoothie and eating her ice cream. ”I’m sure we’d find Amona, only if he comes back. And Colt’s a guy I met at the stables.” Her face blushed slightly but it soon faded off. ”Not important though. Seriously, you’ll be fine” She gave Amber a nice grin before sipping her smoothie again.

Hopping off the counter she left the bathroom, leaving the door open for Amber. Stepping back into the ice cream parlor she went back to their table, sipping lightly. Looking out at the sun she sighed. It was already past two. Checking her cell phone only let her suspicions straight. 2:37PM. Not a bad time. Actually, it was still early for Seb.
