Staying sober for a couple days did not do Connolly any good. She thought it would be a nice change, but staying sober meant she actually comprehended everything. She understood everything. She dwelled on everything. Connolly had one fucked up weekend that seemed to linger more than it should have. Drinking was a way of forgetting and getting over everything.
And she tried.
Smash had kept herself preoccupied with its songs. The acting she wasn't particularly fond of but the songs she loved. Even though Connolly couldn't relate to most of what was being sung, it didn't stop her from singing her heart out around the apartment which drove Mika nuts. Connolly was having fun up until the point she saw her brother offer moon-vomiting boy a job...and Jake. It wasn't that Connolly had anything against Storm, she just felt awkward. They drank, they cracked jokes, they kissed, they snuggled, then he left. Yeah...and then he would soon be working with her too.
However, when the opportunity passed by for some drugs, Connolly couldn't pass it up. All she wanted was some weed, nothing too harmful. She'd leave it up to Storm to get the snacks.
Connolly didn't know what Herrick looked like but she knew he'd find her...vampires could do that right? She had walked downtown and tugged at her leather jacket at the sleeves, covering the new silver bracelet that adorned her thin wrist. Being claimed by Scarlett had proven to be a smart thing as she hadn't been bitten yet...and from what she was told...she couldn't be either. Not without permission.
Shade stood only a few feet from the young woman, a building in progress. Connolly narrowed her blue eyes, looking around to see if anyone would be looking for her. Maybe a sign that said 'Connolly Conner' as she wouldn't put it past the vampire to do something Mika-esque. Unknowingly, she walked past Herrick.
