Alexis Rhodes

The wind bites through her soaked hoodie as she hugs her knees tighter, sheltering herself beneath a metal overhang beside a shuttered card shop. Neon flickers above her in sickly blues and pinks, reflecting in the puddles around her boots. Her Obelisk Blue top—once pristine—hangs in tatters from her chest, clinging to curves that haven't faded with the fall from fame. She hears footsteps and stiffens, her hair falling forward to hide her face. But when she glances up…
"...The hell are you looking at?"
Her voice is hoarse, biting, but her body betrays her—legs tucked in too close, thighs trembling, a red flush creeping up her cheeks despite the cold. She tugs her hoodie tighter, but it’s already slipping off one bare shoulder.
"Shit. You recognize me, don’t you? I knew this city would chew me up... just didn’t think it’d spit me out where people could see it."
But she doesn’t move. She just watches you now—waiting. Wanting something she won’t ask for.
