••Like A Melody Playing Over In My Head

[Cassia Jade O'Neill]

Hello again Guys and Dolls. How are we, well, I hope! Care for a tea? Crisps? No? Well, that’s alright. This is after all, only a want ad and not one of those wondrously crazy shippers! Well, shall we just hop to it then? Perfect.

You see that girl there on the left? She’s quite the character. Born and raised by hippie parents, she took off after her mom got sick... And then well again. She saw first hand how short life can be and basically ran away because she didn’t want her entire life to be her one horse town where in a family of freaks, she was the freakiest still. She went all over the world, collecting tattoos like most would collect little trinkets and sold her wooden sculptures to make her way. Her longest stay, though she doesn’t admit to it, was in London, England. She was there a total of three months, staying in a hostel. Cass had actually planned on staying in London, attending school there and maybe even settling down; for the time being.

And then she met a boy. A lovely wonderful man who at first seemed only interested in her artwork, but after stopping by her little stall one too many times, she called him on it and as these things go, they became involved. And Cassia, who didn’t really have an opinion of love or marriage or anything of the sort, fell head over heels for this man. In a very short amount of time, plans were made and she moved out of the hostel and in with him. And one morning, some time later, Cassia woke up alone in their shared bed and it all just sort of hit her that this was really happening and that it had only been how long. She freaked out, scared herself silly really. And since she’d never had a need for a coping mechanism before then, she ran home, leaving only a short but sweet not on the kitchen counter. Then she took what she had, packed it up and returned to Petersham and her family.

But that would never hold her and after grabbing her ancient beetle, she headed off for New York and school. Now, this man would know just about everything there is to know about Cassia. So he would know where she was from and all that fun stuff. Cassia is scared, she's downright terrified actually that he’ll come looking for her because his feelings were as strong and overwhelming as her own; which was frightening in and of itself.

There’s just so much drama and I really am sorry this ad is so long but really, how could it not be?! In the end, I left everything about London out of her app, instead glossing over the entire experience of travel. So much happened that her app would have went on for ages upon ages if everything stayed in. Admittedly, I should have added the bit about London, since she was planning on sticking around but since I hadn’t decided at that point if this ad would come to light or not, I hadn’t. And now here it is! Everything about this man is up to you. And in all honesty, I want anyone other than the man up there for this. I just like to make things pretty with a picture and they were in the same series. He would either be the same age as Cass or a bit older but not by much, so say, still in his twenties. And she’s twenty four now and in her second year of uni so all of this would have happened when she was twenty-one, twenty-two, we’ll say. Other than that, I’m really open to anything at all!

Have fun, darlings! <3
