Re: Colin's Austin,TX pad

[Cryonix]

Micah: Love is taking chances, Amber. It's just as big a chance for him as it is for you. The way he talks about you...he'd never hurt you.

I'm actually kind of jealous...

[Jabberwocky]

Amber:"What you mean?"

[Cryonix]

Micah: I'm...coming off a relationship with a girl that I thought might be...well, it doesn't matter. All I know is...the man cares about you. Think about it...that's all I'm asking.

I've never seen him care for someone as deep as you. Not even me.

[Jabberwocky]

Amber nods, a smile forming on her face
Amber:"Maybe I should talk to him...Because if thats true then he must care a lot. I mean, he cares about you a lot."

[Cryonix]

Micah: Go on. I'll stay with Amanda. She'll be alright.

[Jabberwocky]

Amber walks outside, spotting Colin smoking a cigarette into the night sky
Amber:"Hey, Micah said you wanna talk to me?"

Colin:"He kinda twisted my arm but yeah."

Amber sits next to him

Amber:"He sort of did the same to me. So, whats up?"

Colin:"I uh...I want to say that I..."

Amber smirks

Colin:"What?"

Amber:"I know, I do too"

Colin sighs reliefoh like Micah and by extension Chris is going to let it go THAT easily..

Colin:"Who the hell is Chris?"

Amber:"Who are you talking too?"

Colin:"Uh what?"

Amber:"You said "who the hell is Chris?" into the air.

Colin:"I have no idea. Ever feel like your being watched and controlled by some outside force?"

Amber:"Those are menthol cigarettes right?"

Yeah they aren't going to let that fly...

[Cryonix]

Micah is sitting on the bed next to Amanda, watching her sleep...

Micah: You'll be fine...and find a great guy...and marry him and have kids...I...

...I think my time is done here...

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda stirs half awake, looking at Micah
Amanda:"Hmm?"

[Cryonix]

Micah: Hm? Oh, thank God you're awake, Amanda. How are you feeling?

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda:"I think I'm fine..what were you talking about?"

[Cryonix]

Micah: It...it's not anything you should worry about in your condition, hon. Did you want some water or something to eat?

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda:"I just wanna lay here..but...your time?"

[Cryonix]

He strokes her hair...

Micah: Like I said. Nothing you need worry about. Let me get Amber...she's been next to you this whole time, save for the last few seconds...

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda grabs Micah's wrist, stopping him and in doing so exposing the scars on her wrist she had been hiding so well
She looks at him

[Cryonix]

Micah: I guess...your ex hurt you too, huh?

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda:"You could say that. That an an abusive father. And depression. And life in general."

[Cryonix]

Micah: Welcome to the club, baby. Welcome to the club.

He shows a razorblade scar on his neck from when he was eight years old...

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda traces the scar with her finger
Amanda:"Did you do this?"

[Cryonix]

Micah: That was....a long time ago. Sadly I've been thinking about adding to the collection...

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda says nothing. She exposes an inner thigh which is covered in a series of small scars. Some very deep

[Cryonix]

Micah: The pain...is quite a rush, isn't it?

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda:"It is. But in the long run it's not worth it. It's ugly reminders."

[Cryonix]

Micah: You're going to make someone very happy one day, Amanda. I'm glad you're alright.

[Jabberwocky]

Amanda sighs
Amanda:"Scars aren't attractive. Not these scars. I mean who wants to look at that all their lives?"

[Cryonix]

He traces a finger across one...

Micah: You'd be suprised, Amanda.
