Realistic or Modern Love, Live, Life

Carter took a step back expelling a puff of air in frustration as he ran a hand through his hair. He half wanted this to be easy, no questions asked... he'd tell Nick how things were and his friend would accept it. He hated long explanations, especially as he rarely planned for them. Many people just assumed that he knew what he was talking about and accepted it, but the questions from Nick made sense. This whole thing... it was new to Nick, almost equally as new to Carter; however, Carter feared saying too much -- making any finite conclusions.


"Because it's too... complicated, dude." Carter's words were slow and unsure, a tone he rarely ever spoke in. "I mean, look at Bria and Austin. They dated, than broke up and the entire group felt it. Hell, we're still feeling it, I mean look at tonight." He said referring the bickering that had only stopped a moment ago. "And I've got too much going for me, man. The last thing I need are extra eyes on me because of the people I'm talking to or dating." He stated, knowing his parents would never approve, but also fearing for the role it would have on his professional life in the future.


"You're a cool guy... I-I..." His words got cut off when he heard a familiar voice. He quickly transferred the somber face he had on into a wide grin as he hugged Bria for several seconds, before pulling back and planting a large kiss on her cheek. "Long time no see, Mamacita." He waved two fingers in Austin's direction as a greeting. He watched as Ash appeared for only a couple seconds, only to drag Aubria off. "Yeah, great talking to you too, Ash!" He called after them as the two girls ran off.


He ran another hand through his hair, before wrapping his arms across his chest. He gave Nick a placid look, not intended to say anything except that the conversation was over now that they had company just in the next room over. "Where the hell did all the girls run off to?" Carter asked as he joined Austin and James in the living room.
 
Nick sat there listening to carter explain why this would be to hard and wouldn't work. Nick thought about the points he made and they did make sense but still they could work right? Nick at this point didn't even know what to think he was do confused. He sighed and was able to say this before everyone came back in. "Look carter I understand the pressure your under and your status and everything believe me I get. I like you come from a very wealthy and successful family who expect a lot from me. Also like you I go to a prestigious college and I also play ice hockey at that college where I just won nation freshman player of the year. I have a chance to okay professionally after college. Like believe me it wouldn't be great for my status either if people knew I was dating a guy, but I just I don't know okay there is something between us. I've never felt this way about a guy before I've felt this way about a girl before but never a guy. And well it scares me, I know my parents would not be to happy and I know it could ruin my chance to play professional hockey , but I just I just feel like something has to happen I just don't know okay."


Suddenly the gang came back inside and the conversation ended. Nick sighed and sat in the kitchen for a minute before going back into the living room.

He sighs,"The ass of Lindsey ditched to go kiss with his boyfriend. Celeste left to go eat with his dad and Tai is asleep." He coughs a bit. "I'm the only one that has been following your orders. Y'know, since it was a movie, not a kissing festival. " It was noticeable the change of his voice since they had last seen, and with the depression he was going trough, it was even colder.
 
(( Back! Typing may be a little slow since I'm on my phone. )) 
Celeste bolted awake with an empty bottle on her hand. "Shit," she muttered as she noticed the spill on the floor. She grabbed some towels and cleaned up the mess before going to the bathroom to do her thing. Minutes later, she got out clean, energized and happier than hours ago. The blonde picked up the bag full of her father's liquor and unlocked the door; she got out quietly and dumped the bag on the kitchen table. Wade was sleeping on the couch with a sad look on his face. Celeste grinned triumphantly. Wade will be sober enough when he wakes up, and that's a first. She snatched a sticky note from the counter top and scribbled a quick note. She then stuck it on her father's forehead and went out the door.

When Celeste got to Aubria's place, she thought about turning off the power and try to prank them, pretending to be a ghost. She shook away the thought, considering that she might get clobbered if she got caught. She strolled over the front door and knocked. "Open up guys! Freaking cold out here! If I die I swear to God I'll haunt your sorry asses!"
 
He hears someone knock on the door and start screaming. He goes to the door and opens it. ''Oh, you're back. Basically no ones here except me and Austin, and the others are talking somewhere else.'' Well, feel yourself comfortable.

 
"Wow, what happened? Last time I left it felt like we're in a chick-flick movie," she replied as she walked in and plopped herself down on the couch. "I swear I'll beat you guys up if you start crying on me."
 
Austin leaned up from th chair and waved at the newly returned celeste "hey welcome back ya dag where'd you run off to, you don't have to wouldn't dare hit me I'm to handsome"he said jokingly as he playfully punched her arm.
 
Celeste smiled and pretended to be surprised. "Whoa, wait. There's someone handsome in here? Oh you're talking about James right?! God James, you're so handsome!" Celeste laughed and returned the playful punch. "Nah, just kidding Austin. You're cool too," she said with a wink. She's trying to remember what had happened. She knows that Aubria and AJ had a bit of a... banter before she left. So where's Aubria now?
 
"Hey don't judge my makeup missy... I have to keep my faerie like glow going with a little assistance every now and then..."





Ash tossed herself lazily across Bri's bed. She was still giggling about everyone's reaction to her sudden flower party declaration. Tucking her hair behind her ears she turned her attention to Bri, eyebrows raised as the girl began going through a self analysis. It was cool that Ash barely had to talk for her to know what she was going to ask. One way or another she got the whole story and then let Aubria try to figure things out for herself. After that Ash just put in whatever information she felt needed to be put in. But this time it wasn't much. Rolling over beside her and sitting up she yanked the girl into a firm hug. Despite the fact both she and her hair were slightly damp and she smelled like a combination of a forest and a liquor bottle she giggled and gave her friend a hug. Pulling away she plucked the girl playfully on her nose.


"I think he's serious...and if you love him like you say you do and he loves you like he says he does then I have zero problems with it... Of course if her hurts you again I'll break his legs...both of them...in three places... Oh but there was something I had to tell you bestie and you have to swear you wont say anything kay... I think I have a crush on James..."





Ash blushed a furious pink twirling a lock of blue hair around her finger. She hadn't really ever done the whole crushing thing but once before in her life. Plus it didn't help that she had only just figured out her crush since she had been outside half drunk in a tree. Apparently that was the only time she got any real thinking done. She realized that the reason behind her always getting stupid around him was because she was crushing and never knew what to say.
 

I drop my jaw at Ash's words of James. Ash and James? That's like......fire and ice! Like.....salt and......garlic salt! I couldn't believe my twin's words. She had NEVER crushed on anyone, just kind of drifting in life as that independent, free spirit. But now she crushed on my old swimming partner.


"Oh......my......God.....babe are you SERIOUS!?" I instantly cover my mouth to keep quiet. "Like...how? Why? When? Dios mio hermana! Well....he is a Hot Dog....ok ok sorry sorry details please!"


I had the face of a lit up kid looking at Ash actually express feelings about a person other than abstract things.

 
He laughs ''Haha, oh blondie, you always get me a smile at the baddest of times.'' He makes a motion of brushing dust off his shoulder. He laughs a bit more. He then pats her on the shoulder. ''Can't believe the other guys tough, leaving their family for other people.'' He sits back down on the couch

 
"Sich beruhigen... Calm down..."





Ash giggled waving her hands in a surrendering manner as her best friend entered her usual super excited mode. She shook her head running her fingers through her still damp locks. She had already known that it might be a bit surprising for Bri. Hell she was still practically in shock herself. She simply was not one to crush. She was to free-spirited for that and her emotions had always been rather abstract. It was why she was almost always the free floating spirit of the group.


"Ah but I really don't know when or really why... But I just know I get all fluttery when I'm around him...or whenever I try to talk to him. I don't know... I just get super lost... And not good lost... Not in the garden in my faerie circle lost but like...staring at the wall like a dummkopf..."
 

I take Ash's hand and place both of mine on them. "So, are you going to tell him? Are you going to make him your esposo? .....are you even going to act on the feelings?"


All these were valid questions. I'm an only child, so this is literally like my family, and none the greater for my sister than Ashhy. I want her to be happy no matter what, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for that woman. Her dad preaches at the same church that my dad is a cleric at...so we were definitely spiritual. She never knew it, but that
"extra money" she came across when we were in high school to buy her violin was from me. I snuck in her room and put it into her savings, it was the money I needed to buy my swim camp reservations, but I didn't care.


And now she's crushing on James, and yet again I'll do whatever's necessary to watch out for her.



"You think he likes you? Or would be good for you?"



@X3 Infernal Infinity
 
"Ich weiß nicht... I don't know... I haven't decided what to do just yet... I don't know if he likes me...James is almost impossible to read... Which is saying something because you know I am practically the mind reader over here... I feel like a child Bri...like I'm in kindergarten..."





Ash made a irritated clucking noise with her tongue. She had always made it a priority to never get involved especially not with someone in the Pack. Her relationships didn't have a history of ending well and she didn't want to strain the friendship of this group more that it already was. She loved these guys something serious and she didn't want stupid emotions mucking that up. Besides her experience with unconditional love was at a minimum. Her aunt and Bri were the only people she really felt like accepted her unconditionally and would do anything for her. She knew about how Bri had given her the money for her violin. Who else would have? Besides she was the one who always tried to play the nurturing level headed role in their little troupe.


"Gah I'm at a loss... What do you think I should do eh...? You're better at figuring out these kind of things than me..."
 
Celeste smiled. "Good. Now stop being such a gloomy bear," she replied to James. "Can't believe it either. But I guess not everyone's the same." She shrugged and popped open a drink.
 

I enjoyed giving Ashtin riddles of the heart. She did the same to me, heck it only made us grow as individuals.





"These feelings are natural boo, you're human! It's good you feel these...but I mean James has been on edge, maybe you...WE go downstairs and relax,see where things go? You could just tell him but I don't know how that'd turn out. I could talk to him for you....okay, try this: gut feeling, use your intuition, what should you do?"




 
"My gut tells me to finish drinking and go eat a cupcake... Then maybe I can try talking to him... But you're right we should get back to the others but I'm keeping you on buzz mode..."





Ash giggled taking another long shot of vodka. She rubbed the back of her head as she stood. Hooking arms with Aubria once more. She always knew how to put her back in a good mood. The two made there way out of the bedroom and back downstairs to rejoin the Pack or at least what of the Pack was still left in the house.
 

"Buzz mode, got it." I smiled at Ash as we head back downstairs.


"Keep calm guys we have returned!" I say looking at James, Celeste, Austin, Carter, and Nick. "Hey Celeste! Where'd you run off to? And Austin Jay I thought I told you to find everyone and get them here." I shake my head at AJ "afortunado que eres lindo..." @LannTheClever @Bills352 @NessieAlways @BlackRose




@Keiser @X3 Infernal Infinity





I move back and sit on the recliner. I eye Ash with a look of intent and I raise a brow.


 
''Y esa cejita que significa? Besuconcita, besandote con el piojoso del lamborghini. Haha. No que ya no eran novios?'' He says. He lays back on the couch, he had totally forgot about Lindsey and what she did to him, so he was as happy as always now.

 
Ash giggles shaking her head a bit as she heads in to the dining room to steal a cupcake. She was pretty much all in the warm and fuzzy from drinking so much alcohol straight so she decided to put the booze down in favor of a glass of coke which she proceeded to spike with more vodka because she was incorrigibly weak when it came to not consuming any available alcohol. She entered the living room in time to catch the tail end of Jame's comment. She had learned to speak Spanish from Bri and though she could understand it perfectly her ability to speak it usually came out irrevocably mangled. Plopping down on a pillow on the floor she cast a sharp glance at James.


"Ach! Lets all try to get along ja? Was ist los mit Ihnen heute?"
 
Taisuke heard someone shout him and could match a voice with a face it was Aubria, Taisuke headed towards where the voice came from and walked into the room. "You called?" Taisuke asked with a smile on his face as he sat on a spare seat on the couch.
 
''Meh, die Hündin von Lindsey hat mich alles düster, she just left me hanging here, even tough i've done much more for her than that abusive pile of




Scheiße has even done for her.'' He says, in a depressed tone.

 

"We're not Mr. Nosy!" I say with a glare at James, smirking. "Sólo estamos trabajando las cosas, that okay with you?" I can see James' mood has gotten better, it was like he was a symbiote: the closer the Pack was to him the better and happier he was.


Tai comes in the den finally after his nap.
"How'd you sleep ninja man?"
 
Taisuke laughed. "Das ist nicht die schönste Sache zu sagen, ist es aber wahr" He said laughing a little at James talking German .


"The sleep terrible I kept wanting to have a drink but was couldn't to get up." He said to Aubria
