[googlefont="Pacifico"][attr="class","titlelyric1"]Gimme love [attr="class","titlelyric2"]Gimme dreams Gimme a good self-esteem [googlefont="Arimo"][attr="class","bigtemplatey"] [attr="class","postycontainery"] [attr="class","postytextboxy"]There was something so calming about having Gavin’s arms around her, like he had the power to hush the voices in her mind that were doing their best to make her paranoid and riddled with anxiety, if only for a short moment. And then he began rubbing her lower back and tracing his fingers through her hair, which were both always things that had calmed her down, no matter who was doing it, really. It practically completely silenced her worries. It was only a temporary fix, of course, but a temporary fix was better than nothing before she could actually sort her muddled thoughts and come up to a solution for her problem.
She closed her eyes as her head rested on his chest, her breathing matching the rhythm of his as they hugged for too-short minute or so before he pulled away. While she was calmer now she still didn’t want to alter their embrace, and that was shown in the way she practically dragged her head away from the position it had been in when she’d been leaning on him, and opened her eyes to meet back with his dark iris’. Her hands found his arms and wrapped lightly around his biceps as he cupped her elbows, and she couldn’t stop herself from releasing a sigh at his question. “It’s just been a pretty stressful day” She told him, then watched as he looked around her living room, all the gears moving in his mind before they clicked into place and he realised what was wrong. She was alone in the apartment, up until now, and she really, really wasn’t meant to be.
Today was meant to be the day that her model had come round for fittings and alterations, but she wasn’t anywhere in sight, and hadn’t been all day. She had no idea why the girl suddenly didn’t want to model for her, it could have been that something serious and family based had come up, so she literally couldn’t do it, but Ellie couldn’t help but think of the girl as a bit of a selfish bitch. It was hard not too when she could have wrecked the start of her career.
She stared up at Gavin, wanting to tell him he was right, that the model was meant to be here but she wasn’t, and that Ellie was panicking because there was so much still to do and his could completely fuck her over, but she couldn’t find the words. Because if she said he was right then it would all be true, and she could be finished before she’d even begun. After his prompting question she found it in herself to nod, and was almost surprised that tears sprung to her eyes as she made the small gesture. Forcing him back into a hug to try and hide her damp eyes she spoke again, but her voice was quiet and strained, and gave away the fact she was trying not to cry. “She didn’t turn up today. I don’t know why. I got a message saying she couldn’t do it, though, or she didn’t want to. I don’t know”

[googlefont="Pacifico"][attr="class","titlelyric1"]Gimme love [attr="class","titlelyric2"]Gimme dreams Gimme a good self-esteem [googlefont="Arimo"][attr="class","bigtemplatey"] [attr="class","postycontainery"] [attr="class","postytextboxy"]Work was a chore, but Ellie would be lying if she said she didn't love it. It was what she'd dreamed of doing for so long, and now that it was finally happening she really couldn't be happier. Never in a million years would she think that she'd actually get anywhere in the fashion industry- after all, she was just a normal girl from district 6, a lesser known district. But here she was, in the Capitol, slowly building a name up for herself out of nothing. Obviously she hadn't done it completely by herself, Gavin had helped a lot, without him she honestly thought there was a high chance she'd be dead right now, and if she wasn't then she was sure she never would have gone to the interview that started this all without his pep talks. Gavin had done so much for her.
Currently, she was working on some designs for a project she'd been set to do. It was pretty difficult, actually, as her taste wasn't as... extreme as a lot of the other designs and Capitol goers, so she had to create things she didn't even particularly like just so they stood a chance at being used. Still, she was getting used to it, and she understood that you had to do what you had to do, and maybe one day she'd be influential enough to change what the Capitol wore. The Capitols awful style was the least of her worries right now, though. The model she had lined up to show case the designs, well, no longer wanted to do it, for whatever reason. Ellie knew she could get another model no trouble, but it had sent her anxiety through the roof, and she couldn't get rid of the nagging fear at the back of her mind that this was somehow going to completely wreak her career.
A knock at the door pulled her out of her thoughts, and she sighed lightly. She didn't really need to wonder who it was as Gavin was the only person that tended to come round- she didn't have that many friends left. She got up and padded over to the door, quickly peering through the peek hole to make sure it was him before swinging open the door. "Thank God you're here" She mumbled, dragging him into the house as she swung the door shut. She didn't give him much time to do anything, as she wrapped him in a hug almost right away.

Ellie nodded again. She felt like one of those little bobble head dolls, all she could do was nod and say simple sentences, how she'd actually manage to get through a meeting or an actual conversation was beyond her, but she'd have to try her best and just see what happened. Tugging at her sleeves she walked over to the receptionist person, had a quick conversation with her and then signed in before returning to Gavin's side.

Ellie took a deep breath, letting his voice sooth her as much as possible, but still the butterflies danced in her stomach, and she didn't think they would stop until this was all over. She held on to his hand for dear, and finally smiled up at him again. Then she nodded. Really, she didn't think she was ready, but the action happened without her thinking. Whether it was just because she wanted to keep him happy, or because somewhere deep down she actually was ready she didn't know.

Ellie smiled up at him, wondering yet again how she'd managed to find someone so supportive, loving, and kind as Gavin. They hadn't been together long, but she still didn't understand how he'd put up with her for the time they had been. She would have probably dumped herself by now- technically, she had. She shook off the thought, she was getting better, becoming further and further away from the mess she'd been a few months ago, and she wouldn't let herself become that again. "I'll do that" She replied, giving his hand a squeeze before looking back at the building that was now in view. A new sense of panic threatened to run through her, but she refused let it happen. She'd be fine. She'd be fine.

Ellie had began thinking as they walked towards where the meeting was supposed to be held, which was a bad idea, as her thoughts were just plagued with self doubt, any slither of hope for the meeting being quickly put out by doubts. She was pulled from those thoughts by Gavins voice, though, feeling slightly comforted just by the sound of it "Uhm, well, i just added some more detail and annotations to those designs the other day, and i'm going to need to talk about what i actually want to do with them, and stuff like that" She explained, looking up at him to try and calm herself down a bit more.

Ellie picked her designs up off the table, her fingers gripping the handle of the bag so tightly that her knuckles went white. His kind words were helping, she was sure they were, they had to be helping, but it didn't mean she wasn't nervous. This was the first time she was showing off her designs, and the reactions she got today would really decide for her whether she carried on designing or not. She smiled at him, then breathed a sigh of fear and relief mixed together. Now they were out the door she knew there was no going back, she wouldn't let herself change her mind now.

Ellie smiled, not bothering to point out that there was a high chance she wouldn't end up with good news, he was so excited by it all that she didn't want to bring him down. She knew she was being pessimistic, but she didn't want to get her hopes up just incase something ended up going wrong. For some reason she just couldn't let herself believe she could do this, not yet, anyway. She nodded at his suggestion, placing the flowers down on the table.

Ellie took the roses, staring at them with a smile as she closed the door. They were beautiful, and she wondered why Gavin had actually bothered getting them for her- she hadn't even done the presentation yet, let alone get a good or bad result from it. It was a really, really lovely gesture though- but it didn't stop the sicking butterflies at in her stomach. She turned her attention to him, giving him a worried smile. She wanted to believe his words, but she didn't know if she could- her doubts were just so overwhelming. She shook her head at his question "No, i feel way too sick" She admitted.

Ellie was practically shitting herself. This would be the first time anyone but her and Gavin had seen her designs, and this actually counted. What if something bad happened? What if they didn't like them? What if... What if... What if... There were so many 'what if's, and Ellie had tried to stop thinking about them, but she couldn't. They were the nerves that currently plagued her, enveloped her in a way. I can't do this The thought ran wild around her mind as she looked over her designs once more, trying to make them look as good as possible. She didn't know if it was the nerves or the fact that they were her own designs, but she just didn't think they were right. She couldn't accept that they were good enough for this; she couldn't accept that she was good enough for this.
She was chewing on her lip, glancing between the clock and her designs for what must be the millionth time when she heard a knock at the door. Gavin. He was finally here. She hadn't realised she'd really been waiting for him until he was here, and now he was here she couldn't wait to just see him. She jumped up, tiding up her things quickly, before rushing to the door and pushing on a smile as she opened it. She couldn't let show him how nervous she was, he'd been so excited she couldn't give any indication that something could go wrong. "Hey" She breathed, letting him in.
