Octavia.
That's the name the world knows her by. One word. One name.
At seventeen, she was a girl who had her spotlight when she was whisked away to co-star in what would be an award-winning movie. From that moment on, she had never strayed away...

Chapter Ten: "You're In Hibernation Mode."
"SO IRRITATING," I MUTTERED, heading into the house after my workout. A much-needed workout after a horribly tense day.
"Maybe he was having a bad day?" Sydney suggested, referring to Caleb and I's little argument earlier today.
"His bad day can be shoved up his ass for all I care," I said, taking my shoes off and slipping into Nike slides.
Sydney snickered, and I could hear New York in the background. The chatter of strangers, the sound of cars driving. I missed it and I missed her too. "Octavia."
"Okay, that was a little extreme," Not in the slightest. "He just needs to relax or something. Maybe take one of the relaxing detox's Angie has gotten herself into."
"Relaxing detoxes?"
"I don't know," I took a seat on the couch, not helping my posture by slouching and making myself as comfortable as possible. "Maybe a massage can help. Or a bath. A nice bubble bath. Those usually hit the spot for some people."
I always found baths gross, though. Sitting around in your own dirt? No thank you. Not for this human.
"From the way you've described him I didn't really think he was capable of getting angry."
"Oh, he's capable alright," But a part of me agreed with Sydney. Annoyed? Yeah. But angry? No. Today surprised me more than anything. "He does this thing with his eyes that make it seem as if he's trying to shoot you with lasers or some shit."
"Lasers?" If Sydney was in front of me she'd be giving me her 'what the hell is going on in my brain' look right now. I couldn't help but notice that the sound of the city faded away, giving me the notion that she was inside her building heading up to her and Zen's apartment.
"Yeah. Or like ice shards."
"And he's the dramatic one?"
"Shut up, I'm the actress."
"Oh, don't worry dumbass, I didn't forget." Her sarcasm was going to be the death of me one day.
I switched up my position on the couch, lying on my back now to look up at the high ceiling. "You know what's the worst part about that whole stupid thing?"
"What?" Sydney asked cautiously.
"That when he gets angry it's..." I trailed off and Sydney burst out laughing. This is what I get for having someone in my life who knew me better than I knew myself.
