Realistic or Modern Love, Live, Life

[BloodThunder27]

Needing to clear her mind, Jasmine headed down to the park. She then rolled down the window to get in some fresh air. After a few minutes, she started thinking about her past, particularly her mother's death and her father's betrayal. After her first year in High School, she kicked her Father out of her life in retaliation for choosing her stepmother over her, his own daughter, his own flesh and blood. At the time, she was more heartbroken then she was angry. Now she is just as angry as she is heartbroken. Two years after, her mother became diagnosed with Lung Cancer and would die shortly after she graduated from Vocational School. Initially, she wanted to make enough money to get better medical care for her mother, but after her mother's passing, she no longer had a pressing need for it. Her Mother's Death would leave a deep wound in her heart and is the reason why she is cold and scathing of everyone, with very few people that she is known to treat with love and care.

((super long post ...sorryI was inspired =P ...Anywho I put most of it in a spoiler so it wouldn't be much of an eye sore))

Lindsey

Lindsey was glad to see that her Jeep was neatly parked in the driveway of her apartment. She looked around the vehicle and found the keys laying on the driver's seat. She grabbed the keys and headed inside. Walking into her home was very comforting. It made everything else seem like a fantasy. She strolled around killing a bit of time before ripping her clothes off and jumping into the shower. The water running down her skin felt great. Like she was being washed away from all the worries and mistakes she had made. Once Lindsey was clean she dried herself off and put on some pajamas.

While Lindsey was brushing her hair, she rummaged through her college notebook until she found Opal's number written in the corner of her old chemistry homework. She grabbed the phone that Tai had so nicely given her and dialed her friends number.

​

Spoiler

"I don't know who you are, but I will not have phone sex for money."​

"Nice to hear from you too Opal..."

"SEY!!! HUN IT'S YOU! OHMYGOSH! Fine I'll talk dirty to you, but it's going to cost you hehe."

"Haha I don't want your charm Opal...but I really need a friend."

"What happened to the buddies you were so eager to meet up with?"

"Things got complicated... and then emotional...now it just feels weird."

"Details please."

Reluctantly, Lindsey told her friend all of the events that happened the day before, early that morning and later one that afternoon. Opal listened silently probably taking notes on the things she would scold Lindsey for.

"Okay first of all...WHAT IN THE FREAKEN HELL WHERE YOU THINKING? GOING OFF TO SEE PHILIP ALONE! HADN'T I TOLD YOU TO NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. COME ON LINDSEY, GET WITH IT GIRL!...but I'm glad he didn't do anything to you and that your friends went to help you. Why didn't you call me love? I could have snapped some sense into you."

"I know I should have, but things just happened so quickly I didn't even register what was going on until it happened."

"Ugh...well now you know right? Don't go messing with the wolves again."

"...I just can't help it...I love wolves."

"Lindsey!"

"I know...I know."

"Anyway enough about that...who's this James person you seem so jealous about and why are you flirting with this Tai guy...is he Asian?"

"Ha...yeah he is... He was a old friend of mine back in high school he used to give me rides home and we'd stop by to get ice cream on the way. We were close, but never as close as James and I were. What James and I had was something special...or at least I thought we did. He was just acting really strange when we saw each other again. He would be friendly one moment and the next he would disappear... when the thing with Philip happened I called him for help hoping he would understand, but after that he was just so cruel. He even accused me of sleeping with Tai...it was horrible."

"Do you like this guy Sey? I mean really like him?"

"...I don't know Opal. I just know that I hate feeling like he just threw me out. Like I'm a napkin he's disposed of already."

"Oh honey if someone is a napkin it's him."

"What?!"

"From what I can tell, the guy was trying to make a move, but didn't know how or maybe you never gave him the chance. He was on your heels and what did you do? You went for that good for nothing Philip. When Philip ditched you, Oh now you want your sweet James back, but since he wouldn't budge you went after Tai. You're such a slut Sey. Now that you don't have James you want him back. Nuh uh. It doesn't work that way love. They aren't your puppets. "

"What the hell Opal? Who's side are you on? His or mine?"

"I'm on the logical side...Look I'm telling you things how I see them...You don't like them, well that's you choice, but as your friend, I'm laying the facts straight instead of beating around the bush."

"Yeah whatever I have to go now."

"You know I'm right! That's why youre mad. Don't hate the truth Sey own up to it and fix it."

Opal hung up the phone before Lindsey had a chance to. Lindsey looked up to see herself in the mirror. Is what Opal said true? Am I really that horrible of a person... I never wanted to hurt anyone... "Ugh I'm So Stupid!" Lindsey threw the phone on her bed and took deep breaths trying to clear her head. How had she managed to screw up a whole night and loose the person she was closest too all in one move? There was only one thing to do. Like Opal said she needed to own up to the truth and fix it. Even though her friend was harsh, she always knew what to do and right now, Lindsey was going do as told. She grabbed her old backpack and dumped all of the old papers and homework assignments that where inside it and began stuffing it with things she need for the night. Lindsey grabbed her backpack and headed out to the park.

Blake had rode off into the night on his Motorcycle before the neighbours had left. He had made sure his mother was safe before doing so. He rode for around an hour before pulling up beside a park. The light pollution was not so bad here and he could see a few more of the stars that reminded him of home.


He slid of his helmet after he parked his motorcycle and walked over to a bench. He sat down as if the weight of the world was pushing him down. Blake rested one arm up on the backrest and looked around the park. Suddenly he saw his neighbours and their friends again, getting out of different cars with what seemed to be camping equipment.

((Anyone mind telling me whats going on I passed out?))

 

[Ch0sen1]

I walk away from the Pack to the apex of the hill overlooking LA. This was beautiful, the night sky so lit, LA so lit up, it was masterful....the past few days were hell, but this was our heaven. Our retreat. I stretch my limbs and stand on my tip toes to get the full effect. I turn to look at my crew, they were all so happy. So much love, so many smiles.... I see a handful of people at the park. A few couples, some no good teenagers up to no good, some cars parked up the road, and a young woman alone to herself in deep thought @Kawashima Thunder , I then look over and spot a Harley Davidson bike....I swear I'd seen it before....and then it hit me.


I see Blake, my neighbor resting on a bench looking lonesome. I forgot he had to be new here, must not have that many friends. I slowly walk over his way, hoping I'm not interrupting his private time. "Hey stalker..." I say smiling to him. "You're not going to like, murder us are you?" @Arrow

[Arrow]

Blake was not really thinking of much, and yet alot at the same time. The air was crisp now, but his shirt had yet to be buttoned up, it hung loosely at the sides and revealed his toned stomach.


"Well, I did think about doing so, but it's such a nice evening I thought I would admire the beauty." He smiled and looked at her has he finished the sentence. And admire her beauty he did, although he made sure he did not stare too long as to freak her out.


"Camping?" He asked, nodding his head toward the group.

 

[Ch0sen1]

I laugh at Blake's comment. So he did have a sense of humor after all. "Haha! Well, yeah this is our little retreat....been coming here since high school." I can't lie, I was looking at his country swagger and that chisled stomach. I felt sort of weird about it since Austin and I are trying to get back close again. I know he'd probably rip my head off if he seen me looking despite us not being official yet. I snap my eyes back up. "So, Mr. Killer, what's your excuse? Surely you can't be out here alone..." I look at him and those jade green eyes. They could draw in a slug to salt if they wanted to.

Ash growled softly as he bit her lower lip. She returned the nip playfully before trailing the tip of her tongue along his lower lip. Twining her fingers lazily into his hair she pressed her lips to his, her tongue slipping into his mouth to tease him. She was gentle of course, her movements sweet and teasingly playful. She pulled away nuzzling his nose with her own. Looking up she realized that almost everyone else was there as well. Snapping a wave at them she went back to snuggling against James.


(Sorry guys...! Meds had me knocked all the way out... )

 

[Keiser]

''The tent is already set, the blankets and pillows too! We can go inside there lay down, since here we're quite in the open, hehe.'' He says, while just looking at her in the eyes.

​

 

[Arrow]

"Unfortunately I am, Miss." Blake half smiled and shrugged his rugged shoulders. It clearly showed he did not want to be alone, but had nothing better.


"I like to sit out and stare at the stars sometimes. And sometimes it is nice to have some time to yourself. And other times.. it's nice to share the moment with someone." He bashfully smiled once more before turning to face her again.


"So what do you guys planning on doing out here tonight?"

 

[Ch0sen1]

I got the vibe of Blake semi-flirting with me, but I didn't want to jump to anything rash. After all no one would really want me would they, well besides AJ. The Pack used to scold me for me thinking I wasn't attractive at times. I blush a bit at Blake's comment about sharing the moment.


"Well....we're going to spend the night here as a Pack, as a family. We used to do it in high school when things were just hectic or even when we had free time." My body then tenses up at my next words. "I um....seen your mom in the bathroom, you came in and took care of her. That was nice, I'm not going to pry I just wanted to tell you so I wouldn't come off as a weirdo who eavesdrops on you and your mom."


I turn my head back to the Pack, I see James and Ash go into a tent...and everyone else is just hanging out. Tai appears to be sleep.





"So, you want a beer? Some smores?" I ask politely. I didn't know if he was a loner or not, but I had to be nice. @Arrow

[X3 Infernal Infinity]

"I would love to have you all to myself... But I don't think the others would appreciate us just disappearing on them..."


She giggled softly, tracing her fingers along the edge of his jaw. She made a soft content sound, just resting against him. Her hands ran through her hair almost absently. Everyone was pretty much there. So soon enough the group was going to be wanting to be active as always. It was time to spend time as a family and though she wanted to spend time as just the two of them, she didn't want to be rude to the Pack when they were all still just licking their wounds.


(@Ch0sen1 I see you trying to push me towards more vacuumness... Pervy bff...just pervy... Anyways chara control me for an hour or so if yall want... I gotta go to the store...)

 

[Arrow]

"Yeah she uh.. hasn't been well for a while so.." He trailed off his sentence, he was not sure how people around here would react to their situation. It was something he was finding hard to deal with at the moment, and thought best not to talk about it too much more. Not yet anyway.


He perked up at her next question and stood at his full 6'2" height. "I would love to, Ma'am!" He smiled at her. He could get lost into her eyes very easily, and made a conscious effort to not stare for too long. "Lead the way!" He motioned with his hand with a half bow at the waist, a soft smile played on his lips.

 

[Ch0sen1]

I smiled with intrigue at Blake's sudden enthusiasm. He must have been lonely indeed. And as a good person, and a fellow neighbor, I had a duty to make him as comfortable as possible. However, the Pack doesn't take kindly to just any outsiders, but maybe since he's my new neighbor, they'll be polite.


"This way." I lead Blake towards the camp set up where the crew resided. "Hey everyone, check it...this is my new neighbor Blake! He was out here chilling so I figured I'd introduce him and he'd hang with us!" I look at all the Pack members with my typical hyperactive smiles. @LannTheClever @Bills352
​

 

[Keiser]

''I'd also love to have you by my side everyday.'' He giggles and gives her a peck on the lips, he hears Bri's words, and looks at the boy. He stands up, ''Hmph.'' James crossed his arms and stared at the guy, we just calmed down and she wants to introduce someone else to the pack? ''He's going to be in the pack, or just a visitor?''

​

 

[Arael]

Austin had just finished setting up everything in up in the tent he and aubria would be staying in when he heard her say something about someone hanging with them he stepped out of the tent and looked over at the guy "who the hell...I mean how long is he hanging around? " james had already asked his first question so he'd might as well shoot out the second one.

 

[Ch0sen1]

"Be nice, James, AJ....please, and he's just hanging out with us okay?" I say standing beside Blake. "Everyone let's be hospitable unnkay?"

 

[Arrow]

"For however long Aubria wants me to be here, but if you guys have a problem with that I'll leave." Blake smiled as he said it, but felt slightly annoyed at these guys immaturity. They must have been a couple of years younger than him, atleast. "I don't want to intrude on your guys' night."


He stood with his thumbs in his jeans pockets, his hands hung loose to the side of the pockets. He felt a little uneasy, but if these people were going to be next door to him on a regular basis, he'd rather not start on bad terms.

 

[Keiser]

''Oh, Aubria, with the douches you get with. This guy is saying we have a problem when we simply asked if he was going to stay?'' He laughs. ''Well, he's gonna stay either way, but don't expect me to treat him like prince charming.'' He stretches and goes to sit down with Ash again.

​

 

[Ch0sen1]

"JAMES!!" I say shocked at his reaction. "I'm sorry Blake don't mind him we've had a rough couple of days... I'm sorry"

@Arrow @Keiser
​

 

[Arael]

Austin laughed slightly at James comment "I'll do my best" he said while walking over to one if the picnic tables to grab a beer and headed back into the tent to sit down.

 

[Arrow]

"Hey, it's cool. I understand that it can be a little awkward when someone else suddenly appears to hang with a close group of friends." Blake smiled at her.


"James and AJ, right?" Blake asked as he extended his hand into their drection. He did not want to make any bad blood in the group.

 

[Ch0sen1]

I watch as AJ heads into the tent and moves away from us.I'd probably hear about this later. I didn't know if he was jealous or just not trusting the outsider. "James....are you going to shake his hand?" I look at James with a glare, with a undertone of pleading.

Lindsey

After driving for a while since Lindsey took the long way, she finally arrived to the park. Lindsey parked her jeep next to the other cars and got down with her stuff. "Hello? Is anyone here?" She said a bit loudly for others to hear that she had arrived. She took a long time getting there, but her head was clear now and she felt better about things. No more weird Lindsey tonight, she would just be her caring self. With a smile Lindsey approached the group.​

 

[Keiser]

He looks at him extending his hand ''Oh, so now you're a sweetheart.'' He pushes the guys hand away. He hears Aubria ''Do you think i'm going to trust and shake the hand of a guy that just said he can stay here whatever time he wants just because you said so? Not being an asshole, but that's what he just gave me to see. Won't trust someone in some minutes, and you know that Bri.'' He turns his head away.
