Blood Ties (DrTrollinski & Soul OMU)

[DrTrollinski]

George took her outside and lead her over to the lawn. He picked up a soccer ball and dropped it at his feet before gently kicking it over to her. "We could play soccer, if you want." He grinned, he liked soccer and baseball most. He even had a basketball hoop by the decking, and he had a small metal soccer post on the edge of the lawn by the forest, on the right of the house.

"Indeed, indeed." He smiled and slowly sat back down, looking up at her. ".. It's nice to see you two together again. It's very... picture-perfect." He smiled, Cole blushed a little and gulped. He gave him 'the look' and expected him to die down on that sort of stuff, but that didn't really work. "Come on, Cole... You're both pretty much adults, don't give me that look." He smiled warmly at them both. "Go run along and have fun. You're only seventeen once." He laughed a little and nudged them both off.


Cole turned around with Lexie and slowly lead her down onto the lawn, clearing his throat. ".. Sorry about him... You know what dad's like." He said, scratching the back of his head in shyness. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia kicks the ball back, thinking as she does. "Is Lexie here?" She asked softly, looking at him with her big brown eyes.


--


Lexie rubs the back of her head. "Ehe yeah... So why don't you open up everyone's gift.." She said while stepping back. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

He kicked the ball back to her once again. "Uh-huh. She's talkin' to Cole, though... So we should leave 'em alone for a little while." He smiled and backed up into the goal. "See if you can score, Olive." He smiled at her as he readied himself.


--


"Good idea, yeah." He smiled a little and went over to the table where the guys had put his presents. He started off with a simple and small gift that had a note attached to it. ".. A bit broke this year... Sorry, simple gift - Jack." He chuckled and opened it up, revealing a reasonably nice bottle of cologne. "Ooo. Fancy." He laughed and put it down, and then picked up another one and opened it pulled out two devices. "To, Cole. Hope you can make some memories with these - good luck when it comes to getting the pu--" He paused. ".. I won't finish that message." He laughed and placed the two devices on the table, and then pulled out one more from the bottom of the box. Mitchell was the richest guy they knew - he was also a year older.

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia nods a bit while kicking the ball back and forth between them. "U-Uhm okay..." she said softly while looking at him and starts running with the ball.


--


Lexie watching, leaning back, deep in thought as she watches all the other gifts he is getting and bites her lip. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

George got ready and moved around quickly to make sure that she couldn't get the ball by, laughing a little as he kept his eye on the ball at all times.


--


Some of Cole's friends slowly began drifting over when they saw George playing soccer. They figured that they'd join in and play with the kids; they'd ask beforehand, of course. Cole smiled at Lexie and tucked the items under his arms. ".. Let's get this inside, and then you can show me what you got me." He winked at her and gently nudged her shoulder. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia kicks the ball as hard as she can at him, huffing a bit, really doesn't like sports all that much except dance and gymnastics.


--


Lexie helps him carry some of the items inside and puts on a weak smile. "Ehe... yeah.. right... that..." she said softly while heading inside with him and looks down for a moment. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Hey, guys. Mind if we play?" One of them asked. George looked at them and then looked at Olivia. ".. If Olivia's okay with it you can." He smiled.


--


"Lead the way. I look forward to it." He smiled and followed her onward. (Describe the bike in the best detail you can, eh? @Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia looks at them before nodding shyly as she kicks the ball. "S-Sure..." she said softly while hiding behind her hair a bit.


--


Lexie bites her lip before heading out front and leading him outside, parked on the side of the road, stood a pretty well made, black motorcycle, on the side, there were handmade painted flames. The seat was leather and while the handlebars were nice and shiny due to Lexie obviously cleaning the bike up as much as she could along with two helmets resting on the back of the bike. (okay, i tried as much as I could. @DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

The guys joined in to play a fun game of soccer. They gave the kids a chance, obviously, but they occasionally stopped to dazzle them with some of the tricks they knew. They were all nice to Olivia, though, a lot of them had little sisters of their own, so some of them were being super nice because of her age and how sweet she was. They were nice to George, too, but in more of a 'guy' way.


--


"Oh my... That's awesome!" He said as he walked up to it with awe running his hand over the top of it. "Where did you get this?" He asked in amazement. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia smiles a bit as she sits down on the sidelines to catch her breath, watching them play while humming softly to herself. Jenna eventually joins in on the game with the guys, is rather good since soccer is one of her favorite sports.


--


Lexie rubs the back of her head shyly. "I uh... I built it actually... since i wouldn't actually be able to buy you the real thing... so i managed to find the parts and put it together... that's why I was late showing up... I was finishing it up..." she said softly while running a hand through her hair. "But I don't know why you'd need it now that you got a car..." she said while sighing softly. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

One of the guys got a little too enthusiastic and kicked the ball quite hardly off at the goal - George caught it, but it hit him in the stomach and he fell to his knees with a breathless groan as all of the wind was knocked out of him.


"Oh, Christ." He quickly went over to him and ducked beside him, putting his hand on his shoulder. ".. You okay, little dude?" He asked, George just shook his head, continuously gasping for air. The guy looked off at Olivia and sighed. ".. Olivia, can you go get him some water, please?" He asked. (@Soul OMU - Is the bike a dirt bike?)

Olivia looks worried at George before quickly heading inside to get some water and an ice pack, worried for her older brother as she gets on a chair and grabs a glass before hopping off and filling the glass with water and grabbing an ice pack from the freezer before carefully but quickly making her way out. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"This in incredible. Are you kidding? Once I've got a bike license, I'll use this thing all the time!" He smiled at her. ".. I can take it to a track, around town if I'm alone or with you, and I can probably makes runs to school and stores using this." He grinned and ran up to her, hugging her tight. ".. It's amazing. I can't believe you built it yourself!" He said.


--


The boy (Jake) quickly took the water and the ice pack. He handed it off to George who had tears running down his cheeks; he took the water and gulped down a load of it, and then Jake applied the ice pack to his stomach.


"You okay, George?" He asked.


".. Yeah." He choked in a whimper as a response, chugging down the rest of the water before taking a long deep breath. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia goes off once again to go find their mother, doesn't like seeing her brother hurt. "Momma!" She called while running into the house. Miranda blinks and glances up from her drink. "Hm? Olivia what is it?" "G-Georgey took a ball to the stomach... W-we were playing soccer.." She said as Miranda headed outside.


--


Lexie hugs him back. "It was no problem Cole..." She said softly while pulling back a bit to look at him. "I'm glad you like it." (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

George was feeling a little better, but not much. He still had an aching pain, but he'd caught his breath again and had wiped his eyes. Jake patted him on the head and smiled as best he could. "You feeling better now, buddy?" He asked.


"Kinda'... My stomach still kinda' hurts, though." He explained, shrugging a little while forcing a weak smile back at him.


--


".. Seriously, thanks." He smiled at her and walked her back around to the side of the house. "You staying over tonight, then? I don't think I've got anyone else who's staying for the night, so it'd be nice to have some company, even if they are leaving late." He smiled at her and put an arm over her shoulders. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Olivia comes back outside with Miranda, tugging on her hand lightly. Miranda following her calmly, looking at them.


--


Lexie blinks as he puts an arm around her but nods. "Yeah, sure why not? I don't have anything tomorrow so yeah that's fine with me." She said while walking with him. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Hi, mom..." George smiled weakly up at her as he sat down on the warm grass. Jake slowly rose up and looked at her, rubbing the back of his head.


"I'm so sorry, Missus King--.. We were just playing soccer and the ball hit him. Hard. I did what I could to look after him, though." He said, showing obvious concern and worry.


--


"You're going to stand corrected. You're coming with me and the kids to see a movie, remember?" He laughed a little and hugged her with the one arm, leading her through to the back yard via the side of the house. Some more girls actually arrived with some other guys as well, and Brandon went and let them in - once again, the present pile had been refreshed and there was now another stack, and a lot of them said hello to everyone and then went down to lie in the sand. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda smiles at him. "Hello sweetheart, you alright? Also it's fine Jake, at least you made sure he was alright... probably going to have a bit of a bruise on his stomach and marks from the ball on his belly now." she said softly while looking at George while Olivia lightly put the ice pack on George's stomach.


--


Lexie smiles a bit. "Oh right, Almost forgot about that... wait... I thought I got to chose whether I was coming or not?" she said while huffing a bit and pouting at him. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. I'm fine, mom..." He hugged Olivia and then he hugged Miranda, sighing a little. ".. Is there gonna' be more people coming? There's already a lot and I just wanna' know." He said.


-


"Come on, why would you want to miss out on the chance to spend time with me." He joked, winking playfully at her as he released her shoulders once they reached the back yard. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda hugs George back. "I'm not sure, I think that's almost everyone..." she said while running a hand through her hair while looking at all the teens.


--


Lexie laughs and nudges his shoulder. "Wow someone is a bit full of themselves." she said while smiling and walking with him. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. Okay." He replied simply, looking around for a few moments. ".. I'm okay now, mom... Don't worry." He smiled up at her and then looked between all the other guys, who were now smiling at him.


--


"Hey, I'm not saying anything." He laughed and walked with her over to one of the coolers and opened it up. ".. Thanks for coming today, Lex... You had me worried for a while. I expected you to be the first person here." He laughed a little as he pulled out a bottle of Pinot Grigio wine and walked to the table. ".. But after that gift you gave me, I'd say it was worth you being a few minutes late." He winked as he picked up two glasses and filled them with wine, handing one to her with a smile. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda ruffles his hair. "I can see that hun. Anyways be careful yeah?" she said as she walked back over to sit by Brandon, picking up her glass of wine once again and her book.


--


Lexie smiles a bit and laughs. "Sorry. I would have texted you telling you I was going to be late, but I was so busy that it slipped my mind." she said while taking the other glass and sipping her wine. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"I will, mom." He smiled. He looked up at Olivia and then the guys and smiled at them all as well. "Do you all wanna' go for a swim? My dad tied up a rope on a tree so we could swing in." He said, grinning.


"I'm up for a swim." One guy said.


"Me too." Another replied. The rest all simply nodded or just simply pulled their shirts off so that they were ready to go.


--


"Don't worry about it. You're here, and that's the main thing." He said with a smile, looking away for a few moments before slowly looking back to her. ".. Thank you." He said. "For coming, I mean." He added quietly. "It means a lot to have you here, really." He smiled. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Miranda sitting down with Brandon, sipping her glass of wine while reading her book. Olivia bites her lip while playing with her skirt. "I think I'll just watch..." she said softly while looking down.


--


Lexie smiles and nudges him. "Well good to know that me being here makes everything awesomer." she said while grinning in amusement. (@DrTrollinski)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Come on, Olive... You can take your donut ring out and you can stay with me, too. We'll look after you." George smiled at her and then looked towards the lake, ripping his t-shirt off and dropping in onto the grass. He was all ready to go. (@Soul OMU)
