Text Message to Alex's phone from Micah's...

"Mandy's here, safe and sound with me, Colin, 'Mella. Amber is on the way. How's stuff on your end?

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:19 am

Alex: "Thanks for letting me know, but I already got the message in the pit of my stomach lol. Things are.... a little strange over here.... but nothing dangerous."

He looks at Raquel for a moment, and opens his arms.

.....um.....OK..... sure.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:46 am

Raquel hugs Alex then looks at him

Raquel:"Was that so bad?"

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 2:07 pm

Alex looks at Alexis and then Raquel.

Alex: Um..... no.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 2:59 pm

Raquel looks over at Alexis then she looks right at Alex

Raquel:"Can I have a word in private with you? Now."

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:35 pm

Alex nods and leads Raquel into the Library.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 4:11 pm

Raquel:"Look, I realize that for some reason you are supposed to hate me because I'm with Shawn. I will never understand the reasoning behind that. But to be frank I also don't give a shit. There is something more important then your family's pride happening right now. And you know that. So please...please...can you and Alexis at least be two people in this house that can look past whatever it is you believe is going on and look at what is happening?"

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 4:38 pm

Alex looks at her.... he literally cannot believe she has chosen to bring up this subject.

Alex: You're here aren't you? We don't just randomly allow outsiders here Raquel.... and I allowed you here without hesitation.... the offer was open to both of you... and I have said NOTHING ieven slightly insulting to you..... and you have the nerve to give me some damn lecture about getting past my family pride.

....and you think our dislike of the two of you is about "family pride"? It isn't.... it's about my Aunt..... who is currently medicated in a hospital bed.... wishing she were dead..... We have no issue with you..... but we are certainly not thrilled that you had a role to play in causing that suffering..... but we have done.... and will do nothing harmful towards you.

I don't know what Shawn..... or Ashley.... or even Alexis have told you about us..... but we are not a bunch of animals who try and mutilate anyone who wrongs us?

Have we ever caused any actual significant harm to Ashley.... despite what he did to us? TO ME? No.

Have we caused any damage to Shawn? No. He came here.... into our home and tried to PICK A FIGHT WITH ME AND MY DAD..... we declined and sent him on his way.

Do not fucking preach to me in my own home, when you clearly don't know the first thing about us.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 4:58 pm

Raquel folds her arms

Raquel:"How exactly did I play a role in your Aunts situation?...And you say you didn't hesitate but clearly with that look you gave Alexis before hugging me, you did this for her and her alone and just a hunch but I sense you would have rather I didn't come here.
Did I EVER say anything about you mutilating people? No. I never did Alex. But I know Shawn couldn't show his face here and I know that after twenty years my cousin is still shunned, maybe even hated by people in this family. Mutilated? No. But it seems like getting forgiven is just as unlikely...You claim nobody did any harm to him. You seem to only think in terms of physical pain. Had you seen the downward spiral he plummeting into after all the years you would know just how much damage this all actually caused.

And before you go into how he kicked your pregnant mother remember...You and your sister are alive and are happy. You have a loving family and fiances. You grew up in...well...look at this place. And him? Isolated, divorced, and damn near drank himself to death.

Now go ahead and try to get the last word in. Or we can fucking move on and deal with whats most important right now."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:05 pm

Alexis looks toward the library, unable to hear the exact words, but she can hear the tones perfectly well. She walks over to the door.

Alexis: Please don't fight... not now. Preferably not at all....

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:11 pm

Alex shakes his head and laughs.

Alex: We didn't make your cousin pour Alcohol down his throat.....we tried to stop that..... we didn't make him mistreat his wife.... we tried to stop that.... and my mother nearly died because of it.

As for your little boyfriend..... you don't have even the first idea how many second chances he was given do you?

..... the punishments they are suffering are self imposed..... we have done.... NOTHING to them..... and now you say we're not even allowed to hate them?

..... and people say we're fucking self righteous.

Alex walks out of the library. Righ past Alexis.

Alex: I'me sure you two have a lot to discuss. Sure you wouldn't want a heartless monster in the way.

Alex steps outside.

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:13 pm

Alexis stares after him.

Alexis: Alex....

She looks back at Raquel.

Alexis: What was that about?

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:15 pm

Outside, Alex gets a call on his cell phone....

Gabe: What up, Cuz?

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:17 pm

Alex sits on a wall rubbing his temple. He answers his phone.

Alex: Raquel's here.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:18 pm

Gabe: Damn....that's...ouch. How you holding up, man? Need to get away for awhile? I'm in London and I just finished seeing Nikki...so I have some time...

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:21 pm

Alex sighs.

Alex: Nah.... I shouldn't leave..... Some psycho stalker chick bust in on me and Lexi having sex this afternoon and demanded I tattoo a scale drawing of my cock her inner thigh with an exacto knife and a sharpie.... we think she was something to do with Caley's cult..... Lexi might not be safe.... I can't leave her.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:23 pm

Raquel looks at Alexis, obviously frustrated

Raquel:"Go ahead and just say it..."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:27 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: Say what? I don't know what you and Alex were talking about. All I know is fighting right now is not going to do us any good.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:30 pm

Gabe: You sure? I don't have to leave for another few days to set up the CBCA's American Training facility in Minnesota....you know we bought out that Punishment place.....so...hey man, if you need me, I'm there.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:32 pm

Alex: Hey well you're always welcome here.... I'm just going to be trying to stay out of Lexi and Raquel's way as much as possible.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:36 pm

Gabe: Well...I could bring the sparring gear over if you need to blow off some steam. I could always use the partner. Was thinking about talking to Lexi about something anyway...

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:38 pm

Alex: Sounds good bro. I'll see you soon.

Alex hangs up the phone and starts throwing round kicks at a nearby tree.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:39 pm

Raquel sighs

Raquel:"That I should have just said nothing. That I should have never given my personal two cents as to how Ashley and my dear Shawn have been treated are bullshit...Besides...I'm the whore cousin of a drunken bastard."

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:44 pm

About twenty minutes later, as Alex throws yet another round kick to the tree, it's caught in a hook block by Gabe. The two commence a martial arts fight like they did when they were kids. After they were done, Gabe and him sit resting on the base of the tree...

Gabe: Suprised I got here so fast? Mandy shot me a text saying she felt something was up with you. She sent me over here to check on you.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:46 pm

Alex smirks.

Alex: Heh..... I'm not surprised.... she's probably feeling quite uncomfortable right now.
