You dont just stock special orders

Alexithymiaa: -Steph waas stuck in the girl's locker room of the pool in one of the shower stalls. She'd been standing in there for quite a while as once she finished showering, she realized that her towel wasnt hanging from the hook outside the stall and then she noticed her clothes missing from the bench as well. Unfortunately after the hot water was running for her entire shower and then while she waas trying to figure out what the hell to do, it starated to run cold so she had to turn it off. So now she's just standing in a shower stall in the empty locker room, completely naked.-
Covet: Felix had a gym bag that had one of his shirts and some of her sweatpants since he really wasn't sure whta to grab and was in a rush. He looked around trying to find someone, then just called out into the girls locker room, "Steph, I'm here, With clothes." He told her hoping she was in there somewhere.
Alexithymiaa: "Arizona!" She yelled from the stall when she heard his voice echoing through the locker room. "Can you grab a towel from the stand out there?"-
Covet: "Yeah, sure thing. So... uh... what the hell happened?" He asked her, grabbing a towel as he went in the direction of her voice. "Here you go, sorry for keepign you waiting for so long."
Alexithymiaa: -She pulled back the shower curtain to poke her head around one side, shivering a bit since it was colder in the locker room than it was in the heated pool area. "Oh thank god." Taking the towel, she wrapped it around herself quickly, her shoulders relaxing. "It's fine, it gave me time to have a mental breakdown and calm down before you got here." She said as she stepped out of the stall with a frown. "I dont know. I showered after practice and everyone left and when I went to get out, my towel and my clothes were gone."-
Covet: "Keegan." Felix said shaking his head. "Have you told your coach about any of this yet?" He asked her leaning against the wall while she wrapped herself up and stepped out.
Alexithymiaa: "I... sort of mentioned it. I don't want it to sound like I'm making excuses for my poor performance." She said with a huff, wrapping her arms around herself.-
Covet: "You're not making excuses... this is a legitimate reason, especially if this kind of shit keeps continuing." He told her. "If her harassment is effecting your performance, then the coach is the only one who can stop that. You're not going to get in trouble, and you sure as shit don't have to continue dealing with this."
Alexithymiaa: "Well I know they're legitimate reasons, but considering I dont really have any proof right now it's just hearsay. Which can sound like I'm just making excuses for sucking." She frowned, walking over to the bench to take a seat, running her fingers through her wet hair.-
Covet: "Steph, you've got more than enough instances that it's more than heresay. Do you want me to come in and say something? Because I'm sorry, this bitch is going way to far. This is college, we're fucking adults and she's acting like a damn child, Which says something coming from me." Felix told her.
Alexithymiaa: "No, I don't want you to say anything." She said quickly, shaking her head. "That's almost as bad as mommy calling the school to complain about stupid shit. Just because she's a child doesn't mean I need to be one. If it's a conversation to be had with Coach, then it's a conversation I will have myself. After today, it just seems like a bad time to bring it up."-
Covet: "What do you mean after today?" Felix said raising his eyebrow. "When's the final straw going to be? Your car was fucked up, your house is constantly being vandalized, you're items are being stolen... What's it going to take?" He asked her, with a tone of sincere concern.
Alexithymiaa: "I challenged someone for their ranked spot and lost. And now it's just going to seem like I'm bitter that I'm still not going to be swimming at meets and trying to cause problems for someone else who is. I just don't want this taken the wrong way." She glanced up at his face, pursing her lips. "I have nothing to show her this has been going on before now...."-
Covet: "Do you think you would have done better if you didn't have all this Keegan shit and other drama going on?" Felix asked her. "It's not going to come off as bitter, just tell your coach this has nothing to do with that, this is about something bigger, and we've got the police reports as evidence enough."
Alexithymiaa: "I don't know. I may have chosen a bad day, because I'm pretty tired. It could have been that..." She trailed off, putting her hand out for the bag so she could take the clothes. "Anyone whos bitter is going to say they're not bitter and it's unrelated. And the police report doesn't prove anything other than the vandalism, not that she's behind it."-
Covet: "So then what... You're just going to accept it and show that you're okay with it happening?" He said flatly. "You're not even going to try and stand up for yourself?"
Alexithymiaa: "Of course I'm not okay with it haappening, but what else am I supposed to do? I've been trying not to use punching people in the face as a way I solve my problems. She thinks I deserve this..." She stepped into the pants he'd brought, slipping the t-shirt on over her head and then picking up the towel to run it over her hair.-
Covet: "And You're doing great at that, but that doesn't mean you should become someone's punching bag." Felix said. "I know what she thinks, but you not doing anything about it just tells her you think you deserve it to. And you don't."
Alexithymiaa: "So then what, I should punch her the next time I see her?" She asked, honestly a little hopeful he would say yes because she's been wanting to. "I called the police. Twice. I don't think that's not doing anything about it."-
Covet: "No, you tell her to stop, confront her, in front of people, get her to admit it. You speak up, say something.. anything. There is a middle ground between acceptance, and violence." He told her. "You have to inform those around you in order for them to notice it, because she's a sneaky bitch."
Alexithymiaa: "Okay, well that middle ground has never actually existed for me so this is new territory. Either I liked you, or I hit you. That's all I know." Reaching behind her, she separated her hair into pieces, twirling them together to braid and sliding the hair tie off her wrist to secure it. "So what, I'm supposed to call her out in front of the whole team?"-
Covet: "Next time she pulls something like this, Yes. Shit, be passive agressive with her for all that matters, That's more of a middle ground than what you're doing now." He told her as he watched her.
Alexithymiaa: "What I'm doing now is doing my best to ignore her. I thought that was the best plan of action because if she doesn't get a rise out of me, she'll get bored with taunting me. I thought that was the mature way to handle the situation." She let out a deep sigh, walking over to her locker to open it to search for her glasses.-
Covet: "Yeah.. but...that's clearly not working.. because she's tenacious. Like a horny virgin girl after her freshman poetry teacher." Felix said and shuddered. "It is.. but It's also mature to stand up for yourself too. Because it's not just her acting out.. this is harassment at this point."
Alexithymiaa: -She slowly turned around, staring at him through blurry vision. "That is an oddly specific reference..." She turned back, moving her things around in the locker. "I'll live..."-
Covet: "Articles I was reading at work. I was bored." Felix said waving his hand. "But.. you don't have to live with this... you can live without it."
Alexithymiaa: "I don't have to live with a lot of things that I do, doesn't change the fact that I do. This is really a very small part of the crap I've dealt with over the years and if she wants to pull stupid pranks to make herself feel better and get back at me for wronging her family... well then fine. I get it." She said with a huff, tossing her goggles back into the locker.-
Covet: "What's wrong now?" Felix asked her as she huffed. " I guess. I still think you have every right to say something now"
Alexithymiaa: "If I think it's getting too far out of hand, I'll say something. Or if I have proof of what she's doing, okay?" She asked, turning back to him. "I don't remember where I put my glasses. I thought I stuck them in my locker before practice, but maybe I left them by the pool?"-
Covet: "You promise?" He asked her then sighed, "I know I'm supposed to be the brainless one, but I think you and I both know that your glasses aren't out by the pool."
Alexithymiaa: "I promise." She said, stepping to him to give his arm a pat. "You're still the brainless one, but I literally lost my glasses at practice like a day ago and found them under one of the benches by the pool. They might be out there."-
Covet: "Okay, but do I get to say I told you so if they're not out there?" He said to her as he started to head out to the pool area.
Alexithymiaa: "No, because I'll make you bite your own tongue." She said, stepping out of the locker room and glancing around. "Sometimes over there." She said, gesturing toward the benches and heading over there, sliding her hands over the bench to make sure her poor eye sight wasnt the reason she didn't see them.-
Covet: "Well, I listen like shit so I'm going to do it anyways." He said in a sing song tone, walking over there with her to look around, not seeing them at all. "I don't see them, Red."
Alexithymiaa: "We didnt look very hard yet..." She trailed off, not wanting to accept that he was right. We dont take kindly to being wrong. She slipped down to her knees, looking under the bench and sliding her hand along the floor. "What's this?" She asked, reaching for a pair of black goggles that were left behind, picking them up. "Oh, ew." She instantly tossed the wet and slimy goggles, making a face.-
Covet: Felix smirked and made a noise, "Not yours... but that's a pretty cute face you're making." He said to her. " Really, Red I've got my eyes and I'm not seeing anything that resembles your glasses. "
Alexithymiaa: -She narrowed her eyes, whipping her head around to scowl at him. "Not funny. And i have eyes too! They just... have actually gotten significantly worse over the years." She pushed up to her feet, planting her hands on her hips. "Now that I think about it, I was able to get by without wearing them all the time in high school."-
Covet: "These things happen. Hearing goes over time too. So someday you'll know my plight." Felix said with a laugh, making light of his own disadvantages. "So... do I get to say that I told you so?"
Alexithymiaa: "Are you saying I'm going to go blind eventually?" She asked, giving him a shove. She reached up to rub at her face, letting out a deep sigh. "Even if you were right, which you might not be because I still might have misplaced them, what am I going to do?"-
Covet: "No... I mean.. Maybe? Those kinds of things happen." He said catching himself as she shoved him. "Okay, but I'm just going with the fact that she took everything else... so she did this because she knows you rely on them. You're going to let me drive you home and tomorrow we'll get you some new ones picked up in the morning."
Alexithymiaa: "But they definitely werent with the rest of my clothes." She pouted, turning around a bit. "It's not that simple. They're literally made for me. I can't just swing by and pick up a new pair. They have to be special ordered."-
Covet: "And you mean to tell me they don't have that on order and can't get you something close to work until they come in? I know this isn't the first time you've lost your glasses, or broken them, and you've survived before." Felix told her.
Alexithymiaa: "They dont exactly keep special order prescription glasses for every patient in stock in the off chance that they lose or break them." She spoke blandly because that was sort of a stupid thing to say. "I mean, I'll be fine, but I'm going to need to catch a ride with you to campus in the morning. Or Cadence."-
Covet: [bahaha]
Covet: "Okay, we'll make it work. Don't worry about it." Felix said beacuse he'd already said he told her so once, he'd just let her find out about her glasses tomorrow on her own. "C'mon let's get home then." He said leaning down to give her a kiss on the head.
Alexithymiaa: -She gave him a quick hug, nodding her head. "Let me just grab my bag from my locker. I need to crash, so hard." She said, walking quickly into the locker room to collect her unstolen things and returning with it on her shoulder. "Okay, let's sleep."-
