Re: The Edwards Family's Herfordshire Estate Part 2

Alex: Colin.... I'm sorry that this bothers you.... and I had no idea that they were planning to do that at the initiation..... but that "civil conversation" would yeild no rewards..... the'd talk in circles like we are now.... your dad wants forgiveness.... my parents will not give it.... they couldn't care less about his emotional state.... he isn't a factor in their lives anymore. As my dad tried to tell him when he was here..... move on with your life.... make things good with your family and make some new friends. Build a decent life for yourself, we wish you all the luck in the world.... but you won't find forgiveness here. I'm sorry Colin.... but that's their position and they're not going to change their minds. I sure as hell wish things were less complicated..... maybe then I could be up their with my fiancee instead of kicking the crap out of every random object in the dungeon because I cannot tolerate one more minute of your Aunt lecturing me about what a bunch of vindictive assholes my family are.

After being told by Raquel to leave, Alexis goes to Alex's bedroom, where she flops face first on the bed in frustration.

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:46 am

Colin:"Fine man...whatever."

a frustrated sigh emanates from the phone

"If Raquel tries to apologize can you at least here her out? One family member is enough. I mean your wedding has enough potential for awkwardness as it. You know?"

Meanwhile Alex has made his way up to his room to get changed.

Alex: Jesus Colin.... I know you're under a lot of pressure man.... just don't shoot the messenger okay? I'm doing the absolute best I can here OK?

He sees Alexis.

.... I gotta go. I'll speak to you later.

He hangs up and carelessly throws his phone on the ground.

...... hey.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:30 pm

Alexis turns her head to look at Alex, smiling slightly.

Alexis: ... hey

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:39 pm

Alex attempts to smile back.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:46 pm

Alexis sighs, watching Alex, not sure what to say. Moments pass, then Alexis gets an odd look and pulls out the now slightly crushed lilies that she'd been carrying the whole time.

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:53 pm

Alex notices the lillies, sighs, and rubs his forehead.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:55 pm

Alexis: Some sort of thank you... from the Angels of Tolerance... so yeah, that was connected.

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:03 pm

Alex: Naturally....

.... well I just got off the phone with Colin...He just picked up Amber safely.... Micah, Mandy and Mella are with them. So.... yeah.... they seem to be doing OK considering.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:05 pm

Alexis sits up.

Alexis: Good, I'm glad they're alright.

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:09 pm

Alex: yeah....so.....

....you're not with Raquel?

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:11 pm

Alexis: She said she wanted to be alone. She was talking to Shawn when I left. I'll let her have her time and go back over there in little bit.

She sighs.

Alexis: I was hoping to avoid all this....

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:18 pm

Alex: I'm trying to do what's best.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:20 pm

Alexis: As far as staying out of her way you mean?

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:22 pm

Alex: You have a better idea?

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:24 pm

Alexis flinches.

Alexis: I was just seeing if that's what you meant.

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:29 pm

Alex sighs.

Alex: I'm sorry. It's just I've already had it from your Aunt and your brother today.... based on the sort of day we've been having, I was half-expecting to get it from you too.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:31 pm

Alexis: You had it from Colin?

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:34 pm

Alex: It's my own fault.... I told him it was ok for him to give me his honest opinion.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:38 pm

Alexis: And what about yours?

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:44 pm

Alex shrugs.

Alex:: He couldn't understand where we're coming from.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:50 pm

Alexis moves over toward Alex.

Alexis: I mean your opinions on it. You've been letting everyone else have a chance to air their stuff, so, your turn.

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:56 pm

Meanwhile...

Raquel lays in the guest bed, she's listless but can't seem to fall asleep. She lays there for a few minutes more then gets up. She makes and eats a sandwich and then paces the room for a bit.
She looks at the door for a moment and then walks over to it

If I'm a guest, then I should be able to leave my own damn room...

She makes her way down the hall and eventually to the entrance.

Maybe more fresh air will help...

She opens the door and steps outside, walking along the path until she finds a bench

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:00 pm

Alex: You know my opinions on it my love. We don't wish any harm on them..... we just choose not to forgive them. Strangely enough we don't want people who are responsible for bringing that much sadness into our lives.... to be a part of our lives. Is that so wrong? It's not even as if we're cruel to them.

I agreed to let your aunt and Shawn stay here without hesitation..... and what's the first thing she does? Accuse me of not looking at the big picture.... being petty.... accusing us of treating Shawn like shit when he came into this house and tried to pick a fight with us? Acusses us of being responsible for your dad's drinking.... and failed marriage.... and depression.... I mean.... how much of that am I supposed to stand there and take?
