Keystone Outcasts

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe was looks at Melanie confused at first and then chuckles lightly nodding, "Ahh okay." She says looking around. Joshua nods at everyone,

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Alright, let's go." Lee nods for them to follow him, deciding that splitting up wasn't worth it. He walks them to the building site which wasn't far, considering it was a small town. When they get to the building site, he holds the door open. "Melanie go look, we'll wait here."


Melanie nodded and walked inside the site, going to look for Robbie. She walks inside and looks around, and once she'd finished she walked into the main room that they had been in on Monday. She walks over to the graffiti and looks at it.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe stands beside Lee, watching as Melanie heads inside. She sighs, hating the wait. She looks at the boys and smiles, "I'm sure he'll be fine." She says softly.


Joshua was staring into space now as they wait for Melanie.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Melanie walked back outside and sighed, "he's been here too. He's a graffiti god, because he completely wrecked his character and turned him into... Y'know that guy that he did? The one with the circle of death? He turned his person into that." She shrugged her shoulders, "but no, he's not here."


Lee sighs, "therapists office it is then. I think I can remember where it is, the guy works from his house so... I just have to remember where abouts it is..." He thinks for a moment.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe nods looking at them, "Lets go then." She says lightly. She waits for the others to lead the way, not knowing where anything is. Joshua nods, "I can kinda remember, not well though." He says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee leads the group in the direction of the therapists, his eyes peeled and looking for Robbie. He ends up outside of the therapists house, it looked slightly run down and shabby, and there was an old boat outside of it with a skull graffitied on it. "This is definitely the place." He licks his lips. "So who wants to knock?"

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe raises an hand, "I will." She says lightly before approaching the door and knocking loudly. She focuses on the door. Joshua watches her knock and lips his bottom lip, anxious as to where Robbie is.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

After around a minute or so, a middle aged man in a large, baggy cardigan with strange patterns on it, opens the door. He scratches his short beard and looks down at the girl that was in front of him. "Hello...?" He raises his eyebrows and takes his glasses out of his pocket and puts them on.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe smiles slightly, "Sorry to bother you but, Have you seen Robbie? We can't find him anywhere and Lee said we should check here with you." She says, her canadian accent evident as she talks.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

The therapist looks at her and then at the group that were stood awkwardly behind her. "Uh... Hang on a second." He shuts the door in Chloe's face and muffled voices can be heard. One British, the therapists, and one Irish. After a moment of silence, the door opens again, and Robbie looks out at her. He had on the clothes from yesterday, minus the hoodie and the hat.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe sighs in relief, "Robbie, you scared us all so much." She murmurs glancing and Lee and Melanie and Joshua, gesturing them to come over, "Are you okay?" She asks lightly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Melanie and Lee walk over, and see Robbie. Melanie pushes past Chloe and pulls Robbie into a hug. He widens his eyes and tries to pull away, before Melanie does and smacks his head, hard. "Ah!" He complains and steps away from her, "Jesus Mel..."


Melanie steps backwards so Lee can go to him. "You little shit what the hell happened to you?!" He yells, barging through and grabbing Robbie by the shoulders and shaking him. Melanie calls for him to stop, and he does, before hugging Robbie. He was tearing up, "I thought you'd died. I thought you'd tried to do it again." He doesn't let go for a moment, but when he does he wipes his eyes.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe looks at them and smiles slightly. Joshua was stood beside Chloe now, "I'm sorry Robbie.." He says lightly, smiling weakly. He stands with her hands in his pockets looking around slowly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Robbie looks down at the floor and then looks at Joshua. "It's fine. I'm fine. I was in a bad way last night, anything could have set me off." He shrugs his shoulders. "But I'm fine. I uh... I'm gonna go home in a little while, but uh... You don't have to keep watch on me." He raises his eyebrows.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe nods, "Your mom got worried, you should probably call her." She says lightly. She looks at Joshua and smiles lightly. Joshua looks at Robbie, "You scared us all, Robbie. We couldn't find you." He says with a shrug.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I'll call her now." Robbie says, shrugging off Joshua's comment, he looks behind him and grabs his bag from the floor where he had dumped it earlier that morning. He still had his shoes and the like on, so he just pulled his hat out of his bag and pulled it over his head. He turned back, "I'm goin, see ya Doctor." He calls and steps out of the house properly, shutting the door behind him.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe looks at them all, "Well I have to head home soon, mom worries about me and stuff." She says with a small smile. Joshua nods, "Well I'm not going home, I'ma just hang around somewhere else." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Robbie looks at Joshua. "You can hang at mine, I really can't be fucked with my mum asking me questions so if you're around I can hold it off for a while."


Melanie shrugs her shoulders, "I'm chill for wherever, I mean, no one wants me back or anything, and- oh!" She suddenly remembers something, and ferrets in her bag for a moment.


Lee sighs, "I actually have to go home. My dad wants to bond with me today for some weird reason, I don't even wanna know." He shrugs his shoulders, before waving, "I'll head off now, don't wanna keep him waitin. Robbie don't run off again." He smiles slightly before walking away from the group.


Melanie hands Robbie his sketchbook as she calls goodbye to Lee, and then shuts her bag. "You left it at the den and I know it's important, so." She explains.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe watches them, "Yeah I'll go now. I.. I think I know how to get home from here." She says, clearly a little unsure. Joshua smiles at Robbie and nods slightly, "Thanks buddie." He says lightly. He looks at Melanie and Lee.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Melanie looks at Chloe. "Well, I'm sure we can all walk you home, considering Lee's already gone." She shrugs her shoulders, "I wouldn't mind, you wouldn't right?" She asks Robbie and Joshua.


Robbie shakes his head, "I don't mind at all."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Joshua shrugs, "We can, I don't mind at all." He says with a smile looking at Chloe. Chloe smiles, "Thanks guys, you don't have too." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"It's fine, none of us have anything to do anyway so we may as well take our friend home." Melanie shrugs her shoulders and begins to walk out of the front garden.


Robbie follows her, "yeah, we wouldn't want you to get lost either."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe nods lightly, "okay." She says before following Melanie and grinning. Joshua follows along and smiles. He brings a hand through his hair and looks at Robbie.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Robbie looks around at his friends. "So, like, you all just came looking for me? Did I actually worry you guys that much?" He raises his eyebrows. Well, he would if he had eyebrows. He was sort of just raising where his eyebrows would have been.


Melanie nods her head, "well, Joshua said it didn't end well between you and we were worried. I thought you may have gone to the bridge." She mumbles the last part.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe nods at Robbie, "Of course we were worried, you left without saying anything." She says lightly as they continue to walk. Joshua looks at Robbie and shrugs, "Of course we worry." He says.
