Realistic or Modern The Beginning of the End

[DrTrollinski]

(And yet it's poor old Eric that's getting forgotten about again ;c)

Jenna sighs softly as she looked at him. "...yes I'm fine... I'm just worried about the only family member I've got... My only blood family member anyways..." She said softly while looking down and sighing before looking at him. "...are you okay?" She asked him in return.


Scarlet sobbing softly in her arms, shaking like a leaf, can't hear him since she's lost in her memories which are looping through her head along with him calling her by his wife's name. "...it will never happen now..." She whispered to herself about having a family again.


(@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton, eh?)

 

[DrCompton]

"Come on Red, open up for me! I dont wanna have to try and pick this lock with two bum hands, I'll look like more of an idiot than I already am." He knocked with his head, tapping it back lightly. "Scarlet please? I want to talk to you face to face... Please just... just say something to me Red? Anything? I'll even take a 'Fuck you Tom, you suck.' anything really."

 

[DrTrollinski]

Eric shrugged. ".. I guess so. I don't know. We'll talk more inside..." He said as he walked into his house with her. He lead her up to his room and then closed the door over - the room had a double bed against the back wall, a huge TV, all the recent technology, a kickass computer, and loads of different posters for different Country and Rock artists. He went over and sat down on his bed and bowed his head. ".. It was just a lot to take in, really... I've been feeling like that a lot lately, you know... Before, when I first met Tom, I was like that every morning... I couldn't get out of bed in the morning. I've been feeling the same way recently, with all the changes and the losses, and I just don't know what it is, you know...?" He looked at her hoping for an answer. He was quite desperate to know what it was he was experiencing. (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet still doesn't say anything as she curls up tighter as if trying to hide herself from the outside world, still trapped in her thoughts which soon start to twist and become worse.


Jenna walks inside the house with him and follows him up to his room before glancing around slightly. She quickly focused on his words and looked at his figure, noticing how his head was bowed and the desperation in his eyes. "Well... It's a lot to take in for a preteen... And it doesn't help that preteen is the age when we're hitting puberty... Everyone is different so the face different things... Plus it doesn't help if you bottle everything inside... Sometimes you need someone to talk to about it... Someone who isn't family... Someone... Who's a friend. Because sometimes Family doesn't understand quite well what your going through... And it's hard sometimes when you don't have any friends... Anyways im getting off of topic. I think the feeling... Might be fear... Fear of the outcome of the changes and fear of losing what is familiar to you..." (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)

 

[DrTrollinski]

He patted the bed beside him and bowed his head again. "Sit down." He muttered softly. It was more of a request and an offer rather than a demand. (@Soul OMU)

 

[DrCompton]

Tom sighed and stood up. He was worried now since Scarlet hadn't spoken, so he back away from the door. He sighed, and sprinted towards the door, leading in with his shoulder. He was hoping it was a cheaply made fake wooden door, or he was going to regret the decision very, very quickly. He closed his eyes as he got closer. (Up to you @Soul OMU if it breaks or if he makes an ass of himself.)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

(Well the houses are all really nice so why would the door be any less? But it doesn't matter to me honestly.)


Jenna blinks and walks over before sitting down next to him and linking her hands together.


Scarlet shaking while hugging her knees, has her head pressed against them as she stays in the fatal position. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"I just..." He sighed. "I've been regretting everything... Like, take Carl. Sure, he's the nicest little kid you'll ever meet, but he has so many problems, and most of them are because of me, I just..." He stopped speaking and took a shaky deep breath while he shook his head. (@Soul OMU)

 

[DrCompton]

As Tom slams into the door, it splinters, and he falls onto the ground groaning with a sore shoulder, hand, and other shoulder. He got up slowly and frown, then kicked at the door's handle, which finally broke the wood panel and jostled the door open. He walked in, rotating his shoulder and looked at Scarlet, "That really sucked." (AND YOU REALLY SUCK SOUL I JUST WANTED TO NOT CHOOSE)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Jenna sitting beside him, listening to him vent/let out some of his pent up emotions. "Hey... It's okay..." She said and put a hand on his thigh lightly while looking at him.


Scarlet doesn't seem to even notice him since she's curled up on the floor away from the door.


( ahahahah!!! xD my master plan.)

 

[DrCompton]

Tom looks at Scarlet and sits down next to her, "Red, come on." He puts his hand on her shoulder and rubs it lightly, "Red Im here."

 

[DrTrollinski]

"It's not, I mean... Look, you can't get a word across to him when you shout. If you're angry at him and you shout, he'll just go into a terrified state and won't take anything in." Eric suddenly looked incredibly saddened. ".. And he's like that because of me." He said. "Ever since he was walking and talking I was shouting at him, because back before all this... I used to have so much hate for how he was treated by our parents... I... I was ignored, and I blamed it all on him." He added on, with a sigh he looked away. "If dad, Scarlet, and him ever end up being a family, I sure as shit don't deserve to be part of it." (@Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet says nothing as she just hugs her knees tighter. "...I don't think I'm allowed to be happy or have a family..." She said softly while lifting her head a bit and gazing blankly at the wall.


Jenna watching him before smacking him. "Don't say you don't deserve that for talking crazy. Because even thought you did those things before doesn't mean your that person now... You care about your brothers more then ever now... And Carl thinks so highly of you... He won't become a family without you or Tom... Scarlet knows that too... She was actually quite like you... She was the middle child between her brother and my mom... But she didn't do a thing about it and was happy when she moved away to the army. My mom... Was devastated since she looked up to her..." She said softly while lacing her hands together. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)

 

[DrCompton]

"Hey, Hey." Tom scooped his good arm under her and pulled her up to him, "Who says that? I know Carl will take you as a Mommy any day of the week... Eric might be hesitant, but he'll warm up to you. You've already got Jenna, she's your family aint she?" Tom rubbed her shoulder, "Hell, if you'd forgive me for being an idiot, I'd certainly take you as a wife..." Tom lowered his face so it was close to Scarlet's, "Come on, we can be a happy, semi-mixed, crazy family of some sort. You, Me, Jenna, The boys. All together.."

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Scarlet jerks back from him as if she was burned and looked at him like a startled and scared wild animal would. "...God took my family away from me once... I'm not letting that happen again... He'll just take them away from me again...." She said softly while turning her blank gaze back towards the wall again.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"I don't know, Jenna." He said as he put a hand down on her thigh and sighed. It was nice to have someone telling him otherwise, especially someone who wasn't his instant family. "I guess I'm lonely, hell, I know I've got everyone who cares for me but I'm lonely in a different sort of way... I had so many people that I saw so much of, and I cared for them all and now they're all gone. You're the only person I've met that's decided to stick by me. I mean, everyone else here has, but you... I don't know." He sighed in irritation. He wished he knew what to say. (@Soul OMU)

 

[DrCompton]

"Hey!" He went around so he was infront of her face, "God ain't taking anything away from you, he'd have to go through me first Sweetheart." Tom was an Atheist, so he wasn't worried about being struck by lightning just then. "Scarlet you gotta snap outta this daze you're in.... Come back to me, please? I wanna be with you, I want to start a family with you!"

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Jenna watching him as she puts her hand over his lightly. "Hey we'll figure it out... Together. Alright? So don't worry so much about it." She said while looking at him. "Okay?"


Scarlet blinks her eyes slowly. "....I can't okay! I just... I can't... I can't go through the pain again if something happened..." She said as she rested her head against her knees once more.


(@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton, gtg, getting up earlier tomorrow... Ugh...)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Jenna..." He paused. "I... You..." He started his sentence but shook it off. He was stumbling over his words and couldn't find the courage to spit the sentence out. He turned and hugged her tightly. "Never mind..." He sighed. "Thank you." He added. (@Soul OMU - I'm afraid this is my last post as well. It's almost four am o_o)

 

[DrCompton]

"So.. So what then Red? You're just gonna live the rest of your life on this shitty planet alone and in just as much pain?" He watches her, "We've both lost people we loved, people that we cared about about." Tom sat with his legs on either side of Scarlet and he put his arm around her, "Scarlet, we have a chance to be happy... even if its for a day... a week. a month, a year, who knows? But I'll take day of happiness with you, over a month, or a year, or a decade of being alone."


(Night @Soul OMU and @DrTrollinski, Also I win, since my post was last in saying good nights gg.)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Jenna blinks and hugs him back by wrapping her arms around his neck and shoulders lightly. "Your welcome Eric." She said softly while smiling a bit.


Scarlet sighs softly and closes her eyes as she tilts her head away from him. "...I can't when she's still in the way... Especially after today's mess up... I shouldn't have come over... It was a mistake..." She said while trying to push him away. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)

 

[DrTrollinski]

(This is going to sound crazy, but even if I put my phone on silent the buzzing wakes me up. Please stop D: goodnight, guys.)

 

[DrTrollinski]

(And my notifications are broken. Shit. My phones going to vibrate at random times ;_

(Here's hoping I didn't miss anyone posting on our arc)


"Alright, that should be everything. Ready to go? I'll drive this car, who'll drive the third?"


To tell the truth, James indeed didn't know how to make a shelter, bow, or arrows. But he'd got plenty of ammo, and if he could get a rifle it'd be perfectly possible to put his pistol's silencer onto it. He also had a tent, so he needn't build a shelter.


Seeing the others having a small amount of food, James realised that he was a little hungry himself. Opening a pouch on the webbing he wore, he dug around inside and found a cereal bar, and chowed down on it while he waited for the others' answers.
