Elijah sat on a bench in the city park, headphones on and phone in her pocket. She had her blue hair up in a ponytail, and wore a white t-shirt and black jacket that she stole from one of her friends. Elijah had a notebook in her lap, pages filled with music notes and lyrics. She sighed, unable to find a good word that rhymed with what she'd put before. She snapped the notebook shut, and put it in the duffel bag that she'd brought out with her. Maybe playing will give me an idea, She thought, pulling a small portable piano keyboard out of the duffel bag. She plugged the headphones into that, and started to play it.

He gave her a thumbs up and sat down on the bench next to her. * __________________________________________________ ______________________ @Non-binary_Disaster

Elijah looked up at him, and smiled gratefully. She actually really needed that money. She pulled down her headphones, letting them rest on her shoulders. "Any song you'd like to hear? 10 bucks is a lot. Thought I could play something to thank ya." She said sincerely, fidgeting with a key that kept getting stuck.

Elijah gave a nod and got back to playing. She hummed along, trying to imagine what the lyrics might be. "So how's your day been?" She asked Carter, not taking her eyes off the keyboard.

Elijah raised her eyebrows, but still passed it over to him so he could check it out. "It's been like that for a while..."

Elijah smiled. "I'll do that! I'm Elijah Sullivan." She said, taking the card he handed her and putting it in her pocket.

Elijah shook it, and got back to playing her keyboard. "You too!"

Elijah watched him leave, and decided she should get home too. She'd told the gang she would make dinner. She stood up, packed her things, and walked back to the house she lived in with her friends.

When Elijah got home, she quickly made velveeta mac-and-cheese (the only thing she could cook without burning down the kitchen), put it out for her friends, and then went to bed. She honestly didn't care how early it was- she was tired, and would go to bed when she wanted.

Elijah fell asleep within seconds.

When Elijah rolled out of bed, she decided to head back to the park. She grabbed her keyboard and duffel bag, and then ran out the door.

Today, Elijah settled herself in the grass. She played an energetic song, one that Rose had told her to practice.
