Alex: Yes it's the first time I've seen this...... are you..... accusing me of something?

Ewan: She became a member of the age of the fallen..... tried to take out Shawn..... turned her back on all of us...... Jilly was heartbroken.....

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:28 pm

Alexis: Oh, that? The Age of the Fallen I knew about.

Alexis looks startled at Alex.

Alexis: I wasn't accusing you of anything. Why would you think that?

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:37 pm

Alex: N-nothing....... just seemed like you were is all.....

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:50 pm

Alexis: No, no... just you're usually a little more vocal when you're surprised, that's all.

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:56 pm

Alex: OK. Sorry Sweetie. Excuse me.

He steps outside into the gardens of the estate.

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:01 pm

Alexis: Excuse me, Ewan.

She follows Alex out, wrapping her arms around him from behind.

Alexis: Hey, are you alright?

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:05 pm

Alex replies unconvincingly.

Alex: Yeah I'm fine sweetie.

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:07 pm

Alexis: You could never lie very well... I know it had to have been as much of a shock to you as it was to me. I wouldn't have put it in if I knew. I just wanted to see if the stories of Colin hustling everyone as a little kid were true....

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:14 pm

Alex: I'm juat so tired of this shit...... this shit keeps coming up no matter what I do..... I'm sick and tired of seeing you upset.....

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:18 pm

Alexis: How was any of this your fault? Our parents were just really screwed up.

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:20 pm

Alex: It's my fault you're stuck in the middle all the time,,,,,,,,

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:28 pm

Alexis stares at Alex, disbelieving.

Alexis: So... you feel bad for being in a relationship with me?

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:31 pm

Alex: I feel bad that being with me is making you feel bad.....

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:38 pm

Alexis blinks, stunned.

Alexis: Would you rather I had stayed with Micah?

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:41 pm

Alex's head snaps.

Alex: OF COURSE NOT!...... I Love You....... and that's why I hate seeing this happen to you..... I'm just trying to think of..... something..... anything I can do to stop this shit.....

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:45 pm

Alexis: Unless you can get everyone together for kumbaya and a hug orgy, and have everyone mean it, I don't know if this is something you can fix.

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:50 pm

Alex slumps on a bench, obviously furious with the situation.

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:08 pm

Alexis sits next to Alex.

Alexis: Do you think there might be a way for our siblings not to bicker, or our dads to be able to be civil without something drastic having happened? What happened during that talk at our wedding anyway?

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:19 pm

Alex Your dad said that if we let him say one more thing he'd let the matter drop and leave us alone either way. We heard him out. Dad explained that on the whole we don't hate him we just find it hard to be around him considering the memories he brings up. He was OK with the out come, we were OK with the outcome.... No more chasing us for forgiveness or acceptance, no more having to pretend I didn't care about what he did to me..... everything was...... fine......

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:07 pm

Alexis: Alright then, so it's just the stuff in the past... can't do anything about that, although I know it was your dad getting back at my dad mostly in that video, as much as he tries to spin it... and our siblings, who seem to know just exactly how to piss each other off.

Nathalie's Mustang pulls into the garage, and she walks into the house...

Nathalie: Jeeves? When is dinner?

Jeeves: I should have everything ready about 8 pm. Oh, your young man is coming over tonight.

Nathalie: Yes. I was hoping...

Jeeves: I'll take care of everything. Would you like a guest room set up for him?

Nathalie: Well....um....I guess he should have the option....shouldn't he?

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:20 pm

Alex:Yeah....

He clutches at his head and pulls his pills from his pocket and pops a couple.

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:28 pm

Alexis eyes flicker worriedly.

Alexis: I think I'm starting to get why I got so worn out....

Cruel Britannia Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:30 pm

Alex: Sorry.

Pockets Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:33 pm

Alexis: For what?
