Alex: Really not joking..... she said yes..... I have a fiancee

Cryonix Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:53 pm

Micah: W....what? Are you serious? I...I thought you said something about waiting and you know...making sure everything was perfect. I mean hell...congrats man...but...wow...

...this is a shock.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:55 pm

Alex: Well you know...it was perfect..... until Ashley had a heart attack because of what I said to him.....

Cryonix Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:57 pm

Micah: You put him in the hospital...because of the words you spoke to him? How the....well, is he alright?

Colin...? My son...Colin?

Micah: Who...who the hell was that in the background?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 14, 2011 4:00 pm

Alex: He's alive.... but we're still not sure if his liver is failing too.... oh and apparently right now the slightest bit of stress could kill him.... and I'm fairly sure he's seen Alexis' big-ass engagment ring..... oh yeah and that voice was Colin's birth mother..... I gotta go..... apoligise to Mandy for me.

Carmella squeals excitedly at the overheard talk of an engagement.

Carmella: Congrats Alex!

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 11:16 am

Sometime later, Micah emerges from the patio, after doing his usual Martial Arts practice. Amanda and Carmella are on the couch smiling. He winks at them as he continues to wipe himself off with a towel.
He hears his phone chime for a text message and he flips his phone open. It's from Colin...

"Shitty day. How are you?"

Micah sighs and texts back...

"I heard. Did you want to talk about it, or are you going to bottle it all up? You know I'm here for you, bro."

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 15, 2011 2:27 pm

Colin texts back
"Amber is going for dinner with Raquel. I'll be over in twenty if thats okay."

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 6:30 pm

"That's fine, man. The three of us are just getting ready to cook some dinner. You know you're always welcome."

Micah finishes the text and looks down at his phone and sighs...

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:01 pm

Amanda snakes her arms around Micah's waist.

Amanda: You're such a good friend.... it's really very sweet.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:22 pm

Twenty-five minutes later and Colin arrives.
He buzzes up

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:29 pm

Micah, Amanda and Carmella have just finished making some homemade pizza and salad and have cracked open a bottle of red wine. Micah goes and opens the door and give Colin a hug...

Hey man. Come on in.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:31 pm

Colin smiles and follows Micah into the place
Colin:"Smells good..."

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:35 pm

Micah: Yeah, we do alright...we we actually get to cooking. You, of course, know the girls...

....So sit down, grab a bite. Tell me what's on your mind...

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:42 pm

Colin smiles and nods at Carmella and Amanda

Colin:"Ladies..."

He turns back to Micah

Colin:"This was the day from hell...I get to the restaurant and dads in an ambulance and Alexis is engaged to Alex, who apparently got into a huge fight with dad. Then at the hospital...of all people...Caley shows up...all preachy and shit. She claims she found God or something. Tried shooting dad up with something. And then...ugh...in some sort of textbook display of passive aggressiveness I texted Ewan and Jillian to...tell them the good news about their son. I don't really know why I did that...well...no...I know why...I'm just thinking it was a mistake to do that, you know?...Day..from...hell."

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:47 pm

Micah: W...wow.

Colin sits down, as does Micah who sits Amanda on his lap and Carmella right next to him...

Micah: What about the engagement bothers you so much, Colin? Give it voice.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:56 pm

Colin:"Well...look they've only been dating for what? Two months? I mean...I know theres a passion or whatever between them. But from what I've seen they haven't reached a point in their relationship where they aren't thinking with their groins. I just...I don't know, for her sake...hell for his too...I wish they had waited until they knew they could survive a couple fights with each other. Know that they can put up with each other when one is in a bad mood or sick. They likely haven't had time to see the worst of the other in that time period. They rush into getting married and...then what? Maybe they'll be fine but...
he sighs
Colin:"Moira and my dad rushed into theirs. See what happened with that?...What I don't get is it seems like mom actually supports Alexis decision...
Heh...it seems like for the first time in years, me and my dad sort of agree on something. But he's letting us make our choices. So it is her choice..."

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:00 pm

Micah: I agree with you, Colin...but...sometimes man, love overrides all. The way the two of them look at each other...and honestly the way Alex cares so much for her...

...I know you care for Alexis...no one knows that better than me...but...she is a grown woman. She is capable of making her own decisions...and her own mistakes. All we can do is support her.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:04 pm

Amanda looks sternly at Colin but is trying to control her temper.

Amanda: They've been dating for two months, but they've spent nearly 24 hours a day together for eight months..... and before you question whether my brother is thinking with his groin or his heart.... speak to me.... I've spent the entire day doubled over in physical pain, because of Alex's feelings for her.... because he knew Alexis was suffering..... so with all due respect.... the next time to question how my brother feels about her.... I'll make you feel my pain.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:16 pm

Colin:"I know...I just hope she isn't just making these decisions based on this fantasy of being a bride...or some mistaken ideal of love that turns out to be lust. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, I just hope she isn't going in blindly ignoring what could happen..."

he shakes his head and looks directly a Amanda

Colin:"Listen, whatever your brother does, or whatever his thought process is...I don't really care. My view of this has more to do with my sister then your brother..."

he sighs, biting his tongue from adding anymore, really wanting to mention the chain of events that ended his dad up in the hospital

Colin:"She is more then just my sister. I helped Moira raise her. I was helping her feed Alexis and change her while dad was off wrestling and in drinking binges. I was the one that helped her with her homework growing up. I was the one that helped her all the way through some of her toughest times. Do you, Amanda, honestly think I can just suddenly forget all that and not be at least a little concerned about what she does? Even if I totally 100% agreed with what she was doing, I would still have concerns.

he clamps his teeth tight, nearly telling her to pull her head out of her ass

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:21 pm

Amanda stands and walks past Colin as she walks out of the apartment.

Amanda: Self indulgent bastard just like his old man.

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:27 pm

Micah: Alright, alright. It's obvious we are all concerned for the well being of our brother and sister. It is a unique situation. There's no need for hostility, guys. Colin, your concern is of note, sure...

...but why didn't you talk to Alex and Alexis about it? Not in a condecending way...but I'm sure they would love to talk to you. I mean...I've only known Amanda a few weeks...but what if I was feeling about her...the same way Alex feels about Alexis...?

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:29 pm

Colin can't take it anymore. He hears Micah, but the words don't process. He stands up

Colin:"Are you fucking kidding me?! Oh no..no no no..."

without thinking he runs out after Amanda

Colin:"Do you fucking Edwards ever actually listen when an O'Ryan speaks? Like seriously? Is there this decades old rule your father made that you shouldn't try to understand when one of us says something? What is it? You throw shit at me and walk off. Alex..well ask him why MY FATHER is in the fucking hospital."

he throws his hands up

Colin:"I'm not allowed to express my views with out one of you ripping it apart?"

Enrich The Experience Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:37 pm

Carmella: Why cant we all just get along...

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:38 pm

Amanda: No..... YOUR FATHER is in the hospital because he wasn't sober for a single day in THIRTY YEARS..... THIRTY YEARS OF TREATING HIS BODY LIKE A TOILET TURNED HIS ORGANS TO SHIT..... not because Alex had a few stern words for him.
