❝ You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. ❞
ADALAINE AIROLDI spends every second doubting her worth, spending...
*°࿐ ━━015, your walls are up, too cold to touch it!

The energy and excitement that radiated off of the pogues and onto Adalaine quickly died down as they sat around a small fire that Jj had built for them. For the young brunette had finally realized she left her family at Midsummer's, causing quite the scene and now, she sat with four other teens and shivered due the cold gust of wind.
There was nothing she could do about it now, but that didn't stop the anxiety and guilt to morph onto her features. And as the pogues were excited about being back together, the young Airoldi's tired smile turned into a grimace.
As she can feel the fear in her chest waiting and begging to take over. It sits there like an angry ball propelling her towards, an anxiety that she doesn't need. And though the air is sweet and just slightly smokey, the weather is fine, there are birds in the sky━━ these are all things that should calm the girl, but they don't.
Her mind, her heart, her entire being feels like a void. A dark void. A never ending dark void that consumes everything, so she's left, sitting on an uncomfortable log, feeling nothing.
"You alright there Nia?" Jj asks, sitting down close to the girl. His warmth immediately causes her relief. It was unintentional, but out of instinct, she leans close to him and the blond wraps his arm around the girl.
"I left with you guys," she mumbles quietly. "My mom is gonna kill me. And if my mom doesn't get to it first, Beau probably will,"
"I'm not gonna let that happen to you," Jj replies, squeezing her waist gently.
"I'll have to go back at some point," she says sadly. "I can't wear this dress forever,"
"I don't know... you look great," he says lightly, a small smirk on his face. "I certainly wouldn't mind,"
A small rush of heat burns her cheeks and she nudges Jj slightly before her face falls once more. "That's not the point, sharkboy. I- I'm scared for when I have to go home,"
"Because of Beau?" Jj asks quietly, leaning closer to the brunette.
"Or my mother," Adalaine sighs. "Both are scary... just in very different ways,"
"Hey, I'm not gonna let you go back there on your own? I've.. I- I don't want you to keep having to deal with whatever lies your mom tells you about yourself. And frankly, I don't trust Beau. So whenever you need to go there, I'm going too,"
"I couldn't ask you to do that," the brunette says, "that's far too much,"
"You didn't ask Nia," Jj murmurs, and he pulls her closer once more, letting her head fall onto his shoulder. "I got you, always, alright?"
