Addie Marie Lawson

Addie Marie Lawson fumbled with her measuring tape as she made an attempt to measure the fabric she was working with. The soft green silk slid over her fingers like water, and it was her goal to make the wearer feel weightless and beautiful in its soft glistening tones. She cut the fabric quickly and pulled the sewing pins from her hair to hold the fabric in place. In the end, she ended with a beautiful piece that only needed to be sewn together before being shipped off to it's owner in the capital. Of all the designers in all of Panem, she ended up with a flourish of orders from the Capital, where fashion reigned supreme.

Addie Marie's brow furrowed in concentration as her foot pumped the sewing machine, her fingers careful and meticulous as the dress was formed. When she was done, she placed the green mass of silk into a small box and placed it on her desk in the back, ready for tomorrow's shipment. One of the sewing pins that had been skewing her hair bun stabbed her finger as she reached back to pull them out. She gave a small yelp and examined the little red drop of blood that seeped from her broken skin. She quickly stuck her finger in her mouth and licked her finger clean while using her other hand to pull out the pins in her hair, letting her hair fall into a mass of ginger curls past her shoulders.

The front door chimed as she walked out of the back room and into the from of her seamstress shop as she was shaking out her hair.

Today was just turning out to not be Jace's day. First the delivery driver got sick and seeing as Jace was one of the only other men in the factory who knew how to drive he was saddled with the job of delivering the fabric to the seamstresses in town. Usually many of their fabrics were shipped straight to the capitol for the stylists and seamstresses there to use but we had some of our own here in town.
The second reason it was shaping up to be a bad day was he was almost certainly lost, and running late to his last delivery. See Jace very rarely ever went to the this part of the district, far too expensive for his tastes, really the only time he was ever here was if he was selling his paintings.
His clothes this day looked dirty and dingy, they really weren't that dirty, it was just in ground dirt that just did not want to come off. He jeans were ripped in a few places and he straight up looked like he did not belong there among all the clean and tidy shops.
Finally spotting his destination Jace breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the truck in the narrow street out side of the store. Putting the truck in park, he climbed out and nodded to the people who gave him strange looks for his appearance, the normal delivery guy usually dressed nicer. Jace however couldn't afford niceties like that.
Entering the store a little chime went off and he looked around the clean and nicely put together store, he was a little afraid to touch anything for fear he might get it dirty. He was about to considered announcing his presence when a little red headed woman came to the front of the store.
Jace smiled politely, "Hi, miss Lawson? I have your shipment from factory delta out in my truck. Sorry I'm late I don't usually make deliveries but Tom is out sick this week. And apparently I am the only other person who is qualified to drive a truck at the factory. And I kind of got lost on the way here." He said apologetically.

Addie Marie Lawson

Addie Marie stumbled as she realized the guy who had walked in was the delivery guy. He wasn't the usual one so she wasn't expecting it to be the fellow with a pencil behind his ear. She unhooked her shoe from the mannequin stand and nodded. "Right. I hope Thomas feels better soon. As for my order.." She walked back to her office and picked up the box. It only had one dress in it but none the less it weighed about 30 pounds or so. "Here. Careful its a bit heavy."

Addie Marie found herself peering up at him through her leafy green eyes, taking note of his interesting features as she handed him the box. "hold..... still for a second." She circled him several times holding her chin in her hand and the other hand holding her elbow. This boy gave her ideas. Good ideas for suits but she didnt really understand why. The muse she got from him seemed to fill and overflow in her mind. "Do you mind being a little bit late returning to your work? You gave me a really good idea. You can put the box down at the counter just... dont move."

She darted back towards her office and pulled out her measuring tape and her colour swatches. She picked out a deep blue fabric that had soft grey pinstripes. The blue would look really good on this guy and she wanted to get the idea down before he left. She grabbed the swatch of fabric and left the office with her measuring tape hung around her neck. In her haste, she knocked a few things down on the way back and ignored them completely. She had bigger things on her mind than the mess her clusminess had caused.

Addie seemed flustered at his presence, he wasnt surprised he was a strange looking person and he wasn't entirely sure if he had even combed his hair that day. Jace stood patiently waiting for the red head to return with her box. He still had bolts of fabric he had to unload for her but he had to pick things up to to take to the post office for delivery. 
When she came back she handed him the box, a little heavy but nothing he couldn't handle, then told him to stand still. He may look like a bum but he certainly wasn't going to drop the damn thing, it would probably cost him his much needed job. It wasn't till she started to circle him that he really began to wonder what she was doing.
"Um, miss?" He started to say when she abruptly stopped and asked if he wouldn't mind being a little late getting back to work.
Perking an eyebrow Jace wondered what on earth this woman was doing when she instructed  him to set the box down, which he did, and to stay put. 
"You're my last delivery of the day and after I drop the truck back off I am free to go so I don't mind. But I am wondering what on earth you are doing." He yelled after her as she darted back to the back room.
He leaned over in time to see her darting back down the halway, a measureing tape around her neck, and knock things down in her wake. Jace knew he was attractive but damn, he had never seen a woman so flustered around him before. He arched an eyebrow nearly into his hair line as she approached him.

Addie Marie Lawson

Addie set the swatch on the counter of the front desk and pulled the stool out from behind it. She perched herself on it's wooden surface and crossed her legs, placing a notepad and a pin on her lap. Her fingers worked swiftly to draw out a male figure. Just a wooden doll form for now but she would draw in the details later. When she glanced up at him, she noticed he was giving her an odd look. She offered an apologetic smile. "Sorry, muse is a fickle friend and you have given me an idea. I dont want to lose it."

After a few more lines she'd gotten the form of the suit. "What's your name, if I may ask?" She'd filled in the spaces with the blue ink, leaving white lines for the pinstripes and a few grey and soft blue embelishments along the left shoulder and the right hip. In District 8, no one in there right mind would wear a suit with flowers embroidered into the fabric but the Capital seemed to adore her skills with a needle. When she was done, she offered him a look at the note pad. "Now I wont lose my design."

Addie hopped off the stool, her heeled ankle boots clicking softly on the wooden floor. "Right so back to business. You have my delivery?"

Jace watched in amused fascination as the woman sat herself on a stool and began to sketch him out. He nodded in understanding when she said that muse is a fickle friend. She looked kind of adorable with her brows knit together in concentration.
"I'm Jace, Megalos. I usually work with the weavers." He said rocking a little on his feet.
He watched as she added color and embellishments, finishing the sketch she handed it over for Jace to inspect. "Very nice, not my cup of tea personally but very nice, I'm sure your customers will love it." He said smiling genuinely.
"Yeah I have like six bolts of fabric in the truck for you and I need you to sign something stating you got it and I of course left it in the truck." He said nodding to himself.
"Where do you want them? I'll bring the form into you to sign once I got them all unloaded." He said using the pencil from behind his ear to scratch his head before returning it to its place behind his ear.

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie threw the note pad onto the counter and shoved the stool against the wall. "Weavers huh?" It struck her that he'd probably worked on the very fabric in her store. "Right. Right 6 bolts. Ok, if you'll just put them in the back office I wont keep you any longer." She offered him a smile as the left side of her mouth quirked up crookedly. "I'm Addie by the way."

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace took Addies out stretched hand, "Nice to meet you Addie." He said before heading out the door to get the fabric.
For the life of him he could never understand how the things go to be so darn heavy, it didn't bother him much it was just get them into tight spaces, like addies back room.
Going back to the truck he peeked in his rear view mirror and discovered that he had in fact, not combed his hair that morning and it explained all the odd looks he had been getting that day. Hey atleast it was clean was his motto. Grabbing his clip board out of the truck he flipped to the last page and walked back into the shop.
As Addie (did or did not mind you!) signed the paper he made an off hand and he though rather hilarious remark that he regretted almost immediately.
"You know if you ever need a nude model." He said smiling dashingly, "I'm your guy."
That was quite possibly one of the stupidest things he had ever said to a customer but seeing as he had already spent several minutes posing for her to draw he figured, hey what the hell. Artists, quirky fellows with a penchant for saying the first things on their minds. And he totally fit the bill.

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie felt her face heat up and turn pink as she a giggle escaped her lips. Guys typically gave her catcalls and whistles instead of blatantly flirting with her. It was a nice change even if it was a little vulgar. Addie shot him a wink after handing the clip board back to her. "I just might have to take you up on that offer. Do you do anything like this?" She picked up her note pad and twirled it between her slender hands.

Of course Addie had noticed Jace was a good looking guy, even if his ears did poke out a little. It wasn't like Addie had weird bits on her, she did happen to have freckles all over her body. Hell, she hadn't been able to find anywhere the freckles werent! Believe her when she says she's looked literally everywhere the freckles weren't. She didnt really like them but there wasn't anything that could be done.

Addie slid her hand into the pocket of her skirt. She had designed the skirt to specifically have pockets because she hated having to carry around a purse. She pulled out her wallet and handed him a 20 bit coin. There were rumors that the country before Panem had had paper money, but the idea seemed odd to her. She thought about this rumor whenever she pulled out a coin. She handed it to Jace. "Here I know you dont make much and you dont really make tips. I try to tip my delivery guys for doing me a service."

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace grinned, "You'll have to see for yourself sometime."
When Addie reached into her pocket he was about to object when she pulled out a 20 bit. He hesitated but he took the money. "Um thanks," Yeah this isn't awkward "It was nice meeting you and posing for inspiration. I'll probably see you again, Thom is going to be out for the rest of the week. Protocall in case he is contagious." Jace said shaking her hand.
Jace grabbed the box off the counter and nodded to Addie as he left the store. Adding the box to the others to be delivered he climbed in the front and used the pencil from behind his ear to check off the last box on his list, Addies store.
Putting it into gear the trucked grinded as he pulled out onto the street it wasn't a long journey the post office wasn't that far away, after dropping off the boxes he climbed back in and headed back to the factory.
After turning in the truck and paperwork Jace clocked out and headed the short distance to his home. Making sure he wasn't being watched he pulled open the main factory door and headed up the rickety stairs to his makeshift apartment. Unlocking the padlock he pried open the old door and flicked on the lightswitch.
The walls were painted in swirls of light and dark colors the bare bulb that hung in the center of the room illuminated the small room. Against one wall stood his easel a half finished landscape painting sitting on it. On the other wall was his narrow bed, more of a cot really. Against the back wall was a small gas stove, cost him a small fortune for that one and a small ice box to keep things cold.
Dropping his things inside the door Jace dropped the 20 bit coin in his money bag and stashed the ridiculously light bag inside his mattress.
As he sat on the mattress the coils creaked and he leaned back on his lonely pillow sighing.
That Addie was kinda sexy He thought boredly.
There really was little to do here and he had pretty much painted every surface.
Grabbing his money bag Jace stuffed it into his pocket and grabbed his jacket, heading back out, to find something, anything to do this night.

[Draco Malfoy]

The world around Addie wobbled and buckled under her high heels as she stumbled down the street. Admittedly she was drunk. Very drunk in fact. She'd lost the gaggle of girls she'd often liked to hang out with and now she was dumbly trying to find her way home. That guy she'd been talking to was nice, until she noticed the little white pill dissolving in the bottom of her drink. This wasn't her first time being this drunk but it was the first time she'd been drugged. The world darkened for a moment or two before everything sharpened again into a blobbed mass. Her body shook from head to toe, eyes dilated to the size of tea saucers, and she felt that any moment her legs would give out from underneath her for a fourth time only this time she wouldnt be able to get back up again. Her arms and legs were practically covered with fresh scrapes from the previous times.

Addie heard a shuffling behind her, but the world tilted dangerously to the side. A hacking cough racked her body as she slumped against a streetlamp. Her hair fell out of its clip in a tumble of ragged curls and her dress slipped down her shoulders as she struggled to stand again. Tears streamed down her beet red face as the pain began to subside.

She picked herself up again but only made it a few more feet before the world slanted again and she found herself kissing concrete. The last thing she heard were footsteps coming toward her before her world tunneled.

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace didn't drink, it was more because of the fact that alcohol was too expensive and less because of morals. He had run into a few guys from work and hung out for a few hours before deciding to head back.
Going down a back alley Jace yawned widely when he noticed a figure lying in the road, looked like gripping the light post in front of them. "Hey are you okay?" When the person didn't answer he picked up the pace and found a girl, with a mass of red hair, he brushed some away and found her face, it was Addie the woman from earlier. Shit
"Addie, hey its Jace, from earlier. The nude model guy."He said trying to shake her awake.
When she didn't respond, "Shit," He looked around for help but there was no one to be found.
Sighing he scooped her up into his arms and took his short cut the rest of the way to his place. Setting her on the ground he eased the door open, picked her back up and shut the door behind him.
With the added weight it sounded like the old stairs were going to give out from underneath them. Unlocking the door her slid it open and flipped the switch with his foot. and slid the door back closed.
He laid Addie on his tiny bed and covered her up with his quilt. Taking a spot on the floor next to his easel he sighed. Yeah, didn't plan on bringing her here just yet he thought to himself sarcastically. Leaning against the wall Jace closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep. He had a good feeling Addie wouldn't regain conciousness until morning and he hoped she wouldn't think he had anything to do with what happened.

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie gasped and bolted upright. Her hands gripped the blanket around her as her breathing came out in harsh puffs of air. She blinked back tears and rubbed her eyes as her breathing began to settle and the panic began to subside. She didn't remember anything from last night, didn't even remember it getting dark. She ran a hand through her hair and found it too matted to. She had to untangle her hand from her hair before she realized something. This wasn't her quilt. She blinked slowly a few times and looked around. She was in a small room with wooden walls that had even painted beautifully. A sheet metal floor creaked beneath her. There was a canvas that. Held an unfinished painting and Jace sat against the wall beside it.

She was at Jace's? What the hell happened last night? Addie groaned and buried her face in her hands. Trying to remember made her head hurt, or maybe she was just hung over. Usually she remembered some things that had happened the night before, but that morning it was all just a blank slate. She glanced at Jace. Had they slept together? No she still had her clothes, and underwear, on, and he would have been on the bed. As small as it was, usually they would sleep in the same bed after sex. She tried to shake the memories out of her. She coughed once or twice and rubbed her hands on her arms where she found the rough surfaces of scrapes. Se noticed they were on her legs too after kicking off the blanket. But where were her shoes?

Addie put her head in her hand again, trying to make sense of what happened.

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Coughing woke Jace up. His neck hurt, his back had a creak in it and he was pretty sure his ass had falled asleep hours before. Rubbing sleep out of his eyes Jace saw Addie has woken up. He sat bolt upright and couldn't help but notice the look of utter confusion on her face.
"So, I uh found you passed out in the street." he said in explanation.
He didn't know why he didn't bring her to a hospital he just thought she would be safer here. "I... We didn't do anything. I just kind of... uh covered you up. I don't have a single clue as to what happened to your shoes though, I think you lost them a long the way somewhere." he said looking around his room.
"Do you want some water?" He asked gesturing to the little refrigerator.

[Draco Malfoy]

A sudden movement in Jace's direction caused her to jump. Startled, she raised her head before attempting to run her hands through her hair again, only to get them caught in the tangles. "I.... in the street?" Her cheeks flushed red as she buried her face in her hands again. Gees that was embaressing. She'd never passed out in the street, it was always either her floor or at a friends house, but the street? That was a new low. She didn't even remember anything from the night before either. What the hell had happened? "I.. cant remember..." She didnt seem to have her wallet on her either, or her keys. She'd probably have to break into her own home. Her throat was parched and dry, her mouth tasted like alcohol and had a sort of powdery film on her tongue. That was weird.

Addie glanced up at Jace and nodded as he spoke. "Yeah, water would be great." Anything to get that film out of her mouth.

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace looked awkwardly around. He opened the fridge and handed over a bottle of water. "Yeah, I was walking home and I found someone lying in the street, it happened to be you. I don't know whether you were wasted or not but you were by yourself." Jace looked at the clock.
"Um, if we leave soon I could walk you back to your place. I have a shower down stairs, some shampoo, nothing fancy I'm afraid but I have a comb and a towel, and shoes you can borrow. I'll run to the store and grab something for you to eat if you want while you get cleaned up." Jace offered to the worried Addie.

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie nodded and stood, straightening her dress that kept slipping off of her thin frame. "I'd like a shower, but you done have to buy me food. I can eat when i get home..." She drank from her bottle, parched. Her throat seemed to sing hallelujuah! The powdery substance seemed to stick to the roof of her mouth, ugh what the hell was that from? She didnt even remember eating the night before but no food was powdery unless it was straight up powder. Whenever she tried to remember a sharp seering pain arched across her mind. She winced and sat back down on the bed in a huff. Her hand found her forehead as she curled inward a little from the pain.

"Man what a hang over."

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace stooped down to see if she was okay. "You okay? If this is a hang over I think you should cut back on the drinking." he said half joking. "Unfortunately I don't have any asprin, drink your water than I'll show you where the shower is." When Addie finnished her water Jace gestured for her to follow him as he grabbed a clean towel from the once book shelf.
They walked do the creaky stairs and into the room that was once the workers locker room where he had gotten a one of the showers working.
"You'll have to be quick cause the hot water doesn't last very long but the cool water should help with your head ache. Shampoo is on the ledge." Jace said handing over the towel. "I'll be up stairs. I don't I have anything that would fit you or I would offer, I might have a giant t shirt you could borrow." Jace said scratching his head.

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie nodded and took the towel, setting it on the bench. She looked up at the spout as water began to pour from it, her hand turning the knob to get it going. When she heard the door clang shut, she reached back and unzipped her dress. She hadn't been wearing a bra underneath it, it didnt need one, so she didnt have to worry about that. She tucked her thumb in her panties and slipped those off too. Her clothes were set gently next to her towel before she stepped into the stream of water.

The heat felt good against her skin, and with the shampoo she was able to wash the smell of alcohol from her skin. As the water cooled, she stood with her head low, letting the water clear her mind and waken her tired muscles. She thought about washing her hair, then decided against it. HEr hair was too curly to shampoo without conditioner, it would knot up even worse. After the water had gotten so cold it was like ice, she shut off the tap and toweled herself off. She dried her hair as best she could so it wouldnt drip and slipped back into what she had worn the night before.

Afterwards, Addie made her way to the door and stepped through, the heavy metal door creaking before clanging shut behind her.

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace was sitting on the stairs that led up to the old office he called home. A pair of sandals in his hands and two fresh bottles of water sitting next to him. Addie came out and look rather refreshed, still a little beat up but definitely looking like she felt a little better.
"Feel better?" He asked holding out the sandals, it was the only extra pair of shoes he owned and seeing as he was wearing his work clothes he figured he could go the day with out his sandals.
"Come on I'll walk you home." He said handing her one of the bottles of water.
He was wearing the same clothes, or apparently the same clothes as yesterday, they were still fairly clean so he figured he could get away with wearing them one more day before having to wash them. He used one of the giant washing machines that used to be used to wash fabric and linens back in the factories hey day, nowadays he used it to wash significantly smaller loads and usually left his clothes hanging in the office to dry while he was at work. The washing machines were so large he could walk into them and had washed his matress once after a particularly rough night of drinking.
Jace waited as the large doors to the factory waiting for Addie.

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie walked with him out of the factory doors and looped her arm through his as they walked. She did this to be close to him, but also because his sandals were way too big for her. It wasnt that his feet were big, well they probably were given how tall he was, but she was also a tiny girl. But one thing did stand out in ehr mind. "You know what they say about men with big feet..." As the two walked through the district, they talked some. She was feeling better, that and she wanted to get to know Jace.

"So in the street? Thats... really odd actually. I'm responsible enough to make it home unless im staying the night someone else, but ive never wound up in the street. Something doesnt add up here..." Addie found herself rambling a bit, but her mind was hazy and her body felt uneasy. nausiated. She mentioned that she would probably go to the doctor and get her blood tested. Make sure she wasn't drugged. Her face paled at the thought.

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace laughed to himself about the big feet comment. "Big socks?" he asked innocently, smiling slyly to the tiny red head. They were adults, he knew exactly what she meant and he found it amusing. I mean he had just met the girl the day before and had rescued her from god only knows what, why not have a little fun?
"Yeah you don't seem like the kind of girl to get so wasted that you pass out in the street, I would definitely get checked out for drugs or anything of the sort." Jace said noticing the loss of color in her face.
"Hey don't worry, if I find out who did it I will personally slip him a drug that he will never awake from, and by drug I mean punch. I mean I'm a strong guy," he said flexing a muscle, "Haul around heavy fabric all day, come with the territory. See I don't usually drive the truck, I usually work with the weavers, used to be one myself but I got a little too big, when I was a kid I did it, now I still work on a few of the machines but I mostly haul the heavy stuff around cause the little old ladies can't pick them up themselves so they asked me to stick around to help. Been working with them since I was 13 years old, I'm like their shared grandson real sweet around the holidays, get more cookies than I can eat myself." Jace said trying to lighten the mood. He understood Addie reluctance and fright, someone possibly drugged her with awful intentions thankfully Jace had found her when he did or the worst could have happened.

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie smiles at his socks comment. The sun shone gold as it began it's slow arc across the sky. She walked a little closer to him, their arms still linked and the sound birds singing drifted through the trees as they passed. She listened to his story about his work. Thirteen seemed a little young to her, but then again she started work a few years after that. Her fingers had worked delicatedly with a needle and thread since she was very young. Judging by his past workings as a weaver and his artwork scattered throughout his apartment, he had very nimble fingers. She wanted to get to know his fingers, to be painted like one of his french girls. She glanced up at him, then back towards the sidewalk. Yeah, a doctor sounded good because her head was feeling a bit woozy.

"When I started working, I became the seamstress' apprentice, I knew her for about two years before she passed away. She taught me everything i know about clothing. Thats how i came by running the shop, she had willed it to me..." She grew silent after a moment. The sound of her sandals flapped against the pavement.

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

Jace listened to his sandals on Addies feet slap against the pavement and he took a deep breath before talking, "My parents died when I was 12, a few months before my first reaping. An accident at work." He said looking at her sadly.
"I had no where to go so they sent me to the home, but I didn't like it there I bribed them to let me leave and I did. I found that old factory almost a year later and got a job working with the weavers shortly before. I've been on my own ever since." Jace said squeezing her arm.
"We all have our little tragedies, some worse than others. I think the important thing is to not let your past dictate who you will become. My parents wouldn't want that, and I'm sure the woman who left you the shop would want you to live on, to remember her fondly but to continue on with out her. She left you it for a reason." Jace said smiling at Addie.
It was true his parents didn't know they would die that day, that he would wait for an hour for them at school until the peacekeepers showed up and took him to see the mayor, who told him what happened. He wasn't sent to the home right away. His parents house had to be sold, money collected the childrens home paid. The neighbors offered to take him in but it wasn't allowed. He didn't like to think of those months there, he still remembered the beatings and the bullies that lived there with him. But it gave him strength, of heart and mind, to continue on and to not give up. To remember his parents, to live everyday like they would want him to. And he did. He intended to for the rest of his days.



[[sorry watching amazing spiderman 2 and feeling kinda deep]]

[Draco Malfoy]

Addie marie smiled and leaned towards him, wrapping her arm through his. A small smile crept across her face as his words soothed her poundign head ache. His story made her think of her own. Were her parents dead? Or alive? She couldn't remember. Drugs had her all fucked up from her hair down to her tose. She should have probably gone to the hospital after all. At one point during their walk, she stumbled but picked herself back up, byut otherwise a peaceful silence encompassed them. When they got to the door of her store, she slipped off her shoes and picked them up, but before she gave them to him she stopped herself.

Addie looked up at him with her green eyes. Her teeth subconsciously bit down on her lip before she stepped forward, closed her eyes and tiptoed forward and up. Her lips pressed against his delicately, yet firm.
