The Price - Tumblr Posts
What's the price?
What must I do?
No, you don't understand
I must have a worth to be kept
Don't I?
Is my sacrifices, not the price?
Is my tomfoolery not enough for the cent?
Is my assistance sparse and irrelevant?
I have to beseech you to speak
For the person you did a deed for is the one meant to speak praise so I'll keep my head down till you sing
Forgive my racing heart and mind
I'm terrified
Please, I beg of thee
Do not abandon me
Tell me quick
What's the price to keep you near me?
For you to forgive and not flee me
For the harsh words to be more of a breeze
You tell me to do for myself
But I have debts to pay to you and seemingly everybody
Please don't throw me away
I know not how to be irreplaceable
I learned young I am
Please, don't give up on me
Don't toss me aside because I'm troublesome
I swear I'm worth my salt
So, what's the price?

Adrian/Ariana Ocean ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★
Your boss, and also your spouse, the most sought-after star in the entertainment industry. With a reputation as spotty as one would expect with someone at the top. However, with the news of your marriage, people seem to be seeing them in a new light; something that they’ve been wanting for a very long time. Let’s hope it’ll last.
Blake Turner ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★
A Hollywood starlet that’s coming off their recent Oscar win; who also happens to be your ex from college. An ex that dumped you when they dropped out of college to become a star. A story that you never truly got to hear the entirety of. And suddenly, just like that, they’re back in your life with the same smirk from before. The one that made you fall in love with them, to begin with.
Liam/Leah Shaw ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 29 ★
Your newly assigned bodyguard, you still have to get used to that, who is supposed to protect you whenever your spouse can’t be with you. You just weren’t expecting them to start affecting you the way that they have. Their warm smile is like a beacon in this unfamiliar world.
Isaac/Isabel Carnell ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 27 ★
The photographer who is tasked with taking lovely shots of the newly wed couple. One of the only people, besides management, that actually knows what the hell is actually going on. Their general cheerfulness does wonders to lighten your spirits. Not to mention the pictures they take are absolutely divine.
Carson/Cara Madden ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 33 ★
The lawyer that is making sure everything goes smoothly; while also trying to not get gray hairs throughout. An aloof individual that only cracks a smile around a select few people. However, they’re good at their job and that’s what should matter most to you. Even though you sort of wish they’d smile at you. At least just once.
