Colin:"What did dad say? About me leaving like that?"

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:50 am

Alexis: He was drunk, as you know. He just stared into the fireplace for awhile, muttering stuff, didn't catch any of it. Then all of a sudden he points at me and tells me not to turn out like you.

She laughs.

Alexis: If he only knew it was already too late. Then he passed out. I had to make sure he wasn't dead, then I left. You were long gone.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:53 am

Colin:"Heh...no I meant after that. In the time I was gone. That whole year. Did he ever mention me? At all?"

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:54 am

Alexis shrugs.

Alexis: How should I know? I didn't go back, and he didn't exactly check up on me.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:58 am

Colin lets out a sigh
Colin:"...K. Just wondered."

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:00 am

Alexis: What's this about dad all of a sudden? Because Alex's dad showed? They are kind of exact opposites I think.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:03 am

Colin:"I...I just wish I could have a chance to make him see my side of things. Make him understand. Instead of fighting with this drunken opinionated prick. To have a conversation with my father..."

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:08 am

Alexis: That would be nice. At least you can remember having conversations with him.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:15 am

Colin laughs
Colin:"Feels like a distant dream now.."

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:19 am

Alexis grabs her brother in a hug.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:26 am

Colin feels limp the second he feels the hug. He feels himself quiver, his defenses break down. But he is now miles away from giving a shit

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:31 am

Alexis hugs Colin tighter, letting him get everything out.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:33 am

Eventually Colin has nothing left in him. He doesn't move.
Colin:"...Shit."

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:37 am

Alexis: What? And don't say "nothing".

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:54 am

Colin:"No its just...that was like over a years worth of...everything come out at once."

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 3:57 am

Alexis stands and pulls her brother up.

Alexis: I'm glad I was able to help. Come on inside for a little bit and warm up.

She looks around.

Alexis: Hey, where did Alex go?

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:01 am

Colin:"Inside maybe?...Oh, and thanks"

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:05 am

Alexis: For what?

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:11 am

Colin:"Being there for me."
he stands up
"Come on, lets go find that bastard Alex"

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:18 am

Alexis smiles and nods.

Alexis: We're family, it's what we do. Yeah, come on.

After heading upstairs Alexis tries the door. It's unlocked. She glances sidelong at Colin.

Alexis: Shut up.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:19 am

A coy smile forms on Colin's face
"Heh.."

Cruel Britannia Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:01 pm

Alex sits on the couch, eyes shut tightly, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:04 pm

Alexis gestures "hold on" to Colin and hurries in to sit on the couch next to Alex.

Alexis: Hey! Are you alright?

Cruel Britannia Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:09 pm

Alex can't hide his upset.

"I've been better.... I just got some..... bad news."

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:12 pm

Alexis' eyes widen in concern and she glances between Colin and Alex.

Alexis: What is it?
