Keystone Outcasts

Lee nods and watches Chloe go inside, and stays out there to try and calm him down.


Melanie looks at Chloe as she comes inside. "Is he alright? Is he seeing things again?" She asks quickly, worried about her friend.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe nods at Melanie, "He'll be fine, and yeah he was seeing things." She murmurs with a worried smile, "Lee's calming him down now." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Oh alright then, er...." Melanie hesitates for a moment before taking her joint and standing up, she takes a drag and walks over to the wall and starts peeling at the wallpaper. "Sorry if it's put a downer on the night."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe shakes her head, "Honestly it's fine. We all go through stuff, can't expect him not to see shit. Hell even I see things some times." She says quietly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"We're all fucked out of our heads, all of us." Melanie sighs, "we're all messed up. Only normal one in this group is Lee." She turns and leans against the wall, looking at Josh and Chloe.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe nods slowly, "Well, he helps everyone in his own way. Robbie reaches out to him, and he makes us all laugh." She says, taking a sip of her current drink. She looks around and smiles weakly at Josh. She knew nothing about Joshua, seeing the bruise but asking nothing.


Joshua looks at Chloe and Melanie and smiles weakly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I suppose so. I guess he's just our medicine. And as for Robbie reaching out to him, it's because they've always been close. Lee understands more than the rest of us what Robbie needs..." She sighs.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe nods and smiles, "I understand that." She says looking around, "Hell if I still had friends that I grew up with, well I can't say I'd even be who I am now." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I suppose it's same for all of us really." Melanie shrugs her shoulders, before looking up. Lee had walked inside, followed by a now calm Robbie, who was avoiding the eyes of everyone.


"I'm really sorry," Robbie says, licking his lips and sitting back next to Joshua, "I didn't mean to put a downer on the mood."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe looks at him, "It's fine" she says with a small smile, "So, shall we continue playing, or just change game or just stop?" She ask quietly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Robbie shrugs his shoulders, "I don't want us to stop just on account of me going cuckoo, so if you have any other games to play, preach 'em." He forces a grin onto his face. Melanie nods, "yeah, yeah you got any Canadian games?"

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe smiles, "Hmm, we could play, I never." She says slowly, "So, I were to start, it'd go like this. I've never been to America." She says pausing, "Anyone who has has to drink." She explains. She looks around, "Or we could play spin the bottle or snog,marry,avoid." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I like 'I never', but we call it 'Never have I ever'." Melanie says, nodding her head. "Also, you have to hold up your hands and fingers, and if you have done it, then you have to put one down, then drink. The winner is basically the one who had fingers left." Melanie explains to Robbie and Lee, who were both looking clueless, but now seemed to have an idea. "Right, lets play that, everyone, fingers up, drinks ready, Chloe, begin!"

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe holds her hands up and grins, "okay, never have I ever failed at a backflip." She says grinning. She smiles looking around at the others.


Joshua grins his hands up, "I haven't even attempted one, so technically I haven't failed." He points out.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Robbie and Lees hands both remained the same, "yeah we're both the same as Joshua, so we technically never failed one."


Melanie sighs and puts one finger down, then grabs the bottle and drinks, "let's just say that yesterday I attempted a backflip for the first time and it failed."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe grins, "Okay, Melanie, your turn." She says keeping her hands up. Joshua grins and looks around, keeping his hands up aswell.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Never have I ever kissed a girl." Melanie grins, and Lee groans, putting down one finger. Robbie keeps his finger the exact same, he'd never kissed a girl.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe laughs lightly and keeps her hand up and still, she watches as Lee puts a finger down and so does Joshua. She grins. Joshua laughs lightly, taking a gulp of his drink and smiling.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Alright, if we go in a circle then Lee, you're next." Melanie prompts, and Lee sighs.


"Is there anything I haven't done? Um... Never have I ever kissed a guy!" Lee grins and watches as Melanie puts her finger down grouchily.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe chuckles and puts her finger down too, she takes a large gulp from her drink and grins. Joshua laughs looking around, laughing.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Robbie speaks up, "never have I ever... I dunno guys, I can't think of anything. I haven't done a lot of stuff and I don't know what to say..." He bites his lip.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe smiles, "Come on Robbie, just say something you've never done. It doesn't matter," she says. She looks at him, "It can be anything, anything at all." She comments.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Never have I ever been suspended from school." Robbie shrugs his shoulders.


Lee and Melanie groan, both putting down a finger.


Robbie had ten fingers up, Melanie had seven, and Lee had eight.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe chuckles looking at them, she'd never suspended before and leaves her hands how they are. Joshua looks at them lowering a finger, and laughing, "Never have I ever had a fling with Mandy." Joshua says with a laugh, looking in Lee's direction.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee glares at him, "that is just plain mean, what the fuck Joshua." He shakes his head slowly, before lowering a finger. "Too cruel."
