Outside the vicinity of 240 Walnut drive, an old black pick-up truck had been parked by the curb for almost twenty minutes. Sitting outside in the night, the car’s air conditioning system chilled the temperature and breezed Bella’s hair about. Bella, an October born girl, had yet to get out of the car, and Pino was getting antsy. The seventeen-year-old had been pleading for hours to go to this party, and finally Bella just gave up and let him come on the condition that if she caught him with an alcoholic beverage that he would be severely punished. As in, she would smash his ipod and not purchase him a new one. Truth be told, Bella would probably have invited almost anybody to this small ‘house party’ just to keep from going through that door all by herself. Chances were, nobody but Casey…or possibly Harold, an ex boyfriend and best friend of his; would possibly know about what happened…But even so… ‘ I havn‘t seen anyone in weeks, they‘re going to wonder why I just off-ed and left.’, Bella wasn’t going to tell anyone the real reason, and she kind of secretly hoped that Casey wouldn’t be here tonight. Even though this was their old rented house with four other people, and he technically lived on the premises.
Bell-ze-bub. Are we going inside? Cause watching other people go in is getting really stupid.”, Bella responded to her brother by smacking him lightly upside the face and scowling as she ripped off her seat belt and turned off the car. Pocketing the keys, the young woman thought she heard her brother squeal as he bounced out of the other side of the truck. ‘ Oh this is going to be horrible!’, her brother being here, not the party. The party she honestly didn’t want to think about, and the last one she went to? Completely blocked from her memory.
Locking the doors of the truck, the brunette girl was about to walk off when she saw Pino staring off into space. Raising an eyebrow, she pointed towards the door and took a step before realizing that the simple gesture wasn’t going to knock any ‘hints to move’ his way. ‘ What is so fascinating about the upstairs window?’ Looking up to see a silhouette in the upstairs window that could have been a girl or a boy, Bella walked forward and smacked her brother in the arm.
“ Come-on, dolt; we‘re already late…”, Not that anyone was expecting them to show…Bella sort of…invited herself. ‘ I‘ll just stop by…chat with everyone for a few minutes…then leave.’ Bella had quoted that like a mantra all day and oddly enough she was not any more reassured than she had been that morning. Swallowing her pride, Bella led her brother up the stairs and knocked on the little door in quick little raps.
Knock;knock;knock~

Tonight was a good night. She hardly knew the people she lived with, but at least one of them knew how to agree to have a party and help make it. Whether the man had seemed to willing or not, this Einian had been good help while she had been figuring out artificial sweeteners and dry ice. Iorwen didn't need an excuse to experiment with anything, she just did if she could get her hands on it. Last week she even baked rainbow muffins and they had made a return for tonight with an adapted less sugary recipe. She had also fixed a number of different cocktails and added dry ice with each one, no exception. Okay some people thought the effect of the dry ice was an indication of poison, but it wasn't. It was just carbon dioxide. Nothing dangerous unless you omitted the 'di'.
Yet for now she had been degraded to door woman because Einian wanted to have a go with the dry ice, rum and tequila. She didn't even bother to ask if people were invited in any way, she just let everybody in not forgetting to have a comment with them to. If they looked like a jock they were a** kissers in Iorwen's book and she didn't keep her mouth shut about if they were a little to happy go lucky in their own comments. She wasn't interested in the next best pumped up sports idiot. She just had... Other interests and that included every form of chemistry she could think of.
Knock;knock;knock~
Ah another one to add to the existing and already surprisingly large crowd. Iorwen opened the door with the sweetest and most welcoming smile on her face she could muster so late at night and with the bits of alcohol in her head and the sound of rabbit killer bothering her ears. If anything she thought Einian was a horrid dj with a horrid taste in music, but a set of drunk teenagers and twenty-ers didn't seem to mind it one bit.
"Good evening and welcome"
She was greeting a seemingly shy woman and a young kid apparently on speed. Iorwen secretly wondered if somebody had actually fed the boy drugs. He looked no older than seventeen at the most. Yet that didn't matter much. Io didn't check any id's before handing out drinks, but she knew this guy was only going to get something sugar free on her watch with that bounce in his step.
"Come in... Einian decided that nobody interesting was going to come by any more so he stole my ice."
Iorwen wasn't counting on Einian coming in at that point.
"Io! I didn't-.... Ow Bell! Where have you been hiding!"
"Told you had to stay here..."
Iorwen left the room for the kitchen where Einian had just come from, whereas Einian somewhat rushed to greet Bella properly. She hesitated at the doorway glancing back just to look at that girl one more time. Einian owed her a proper introduction later on.

The door opening to an interesting song, Bella tried to smile at a very pretty blonde that both her and her brother’s face blushed red at the sight of. Having decided long ago that she only liked the female variety, it wasn’t hard for the girl to notice a pretty face and take a fancy to it. Absentmindedly folding a lock of hair behind her ear, Bella (or Bill as she was sometimes called) nudged her brother inside and let the blonde woman close the door behind them.
“ Good evening and welcome.”, Bella awkwardly smiled to try and hide the blush to her face.
“ Welcome.”, Bella replied with a tomboyish wave before seeing a collection of strange fizzing drinks on the table. A month ago, Bella would have been intrigued enough to try one, but at the currant moment Bella’s mouth formed an irritated grimace. ‘ Liquor got me into this mess with Harold and Einian…like hell I want more of it.’ At war with alcohol, Bella just put her hands in her pockets and glanced about the room to look for a decent chair that wasn’t taken. The party wasn’t so crowded as to feel claustrophobic, but it was indeed more people than she had expected. ‘ Partying…like always.’ Bella was glad that this was her last year in college to get her certificate. Two years was enough for any person.
“ Come in…Einian decided that nobody interesting was going to come by anymore so he stole my ice.”, Bella had just begun to chuckle when Einian walked down the stairs.
“ Io! I didn‘t-…Ow Bell! Where have you been hiding!”, at that point anything the blonde girl said was only a mumble, and Bella wasn’t exactly sure how to react. She smiled her usual awkward, pained, smile and gave the man a half-hug. ‘ His liking me was just drugs and liquor confusing his brain. Just like Casey.’, Having known the former enough to overlook, and the latter long enough to forgive, she just tried to give her old friend enough affection to as not be rude. Bella was not a ‘hug’ type of person, except with a very limited selection of people. Casey being one of them.
“ What happened?…wait just tell me what you‘ve been up to.”, ‘ Crabshack…don‘t make me answer this question again’, Every person she knew from college had asked her where she had been or a question along those lines. Slightly shaking her head, Bella tried her best not to show the irksome irritation on her face. She wasn’t mad at Einian for being curious, but at the same time she didn’t really want to tell anyone the truth, and repeating an excuse was becoming tedious. She began to look about the room trying to ponder a reasonable conversation change.
“ I‘ve been home…helping dad…”, Bella turned around the place where Pino had been standing before seeing that her brother was gone. Where was he? Talking to some brunette over by the window. Trying to amaze her with his nerdy collection of Pink Floyd albums. Seeing him holding a drink, Bella just subtly walked over -took it from him- and walked back to lead Einian towards an empty hallway. Opening her mouth to speak, Bella had been about to mouth the rest when she say Casey a good distance away drinking a cocktail. Moment of truth…she could either ‘forget it happened and act normal’ or ‘ignore him like he was the scum of the earth.’‘ He probably doesn‘t even want to talk to me.’Bella waved in Casey’s direction before trying to smile and having it be awkwardly skewed.
“ Hey Casey.”, Bella let her wave end before turning back towards Einian. If only to finish giving him an explanation. Funny thing was, she was telling the truth more than a lie.
“ My dad had an accident at work…I had to go home…take care of mom…watch scooter over there. He‘s on the mend now, so I can come back here to ‘learn’”, Chuckling quietly, Bella wanted to peek around the throng of people to find Casey again, but to be honest she expected a sour evil look (for some reason) and thus fearfully avoided his direction even though her chin would occasionally start to look in his direction.
“ So what have you been up to?”

Watching the general ambiance of his first house party, Pino Lugosi couldn’t take his eyes off of every feature. More particularly the girls. Especially a really pretty one that was dancing to herself by the window. Ignoring the conversation simply because he thought that these people were all his sister’s ‘friends’, the young man saw the table with a few pre-made drinks on them and reached over to grab one. If you drink I’ll smash your ipod, Bella had said, and Pino certainly believed her…but that beautiful girl by the window was holding one, and if he wanted to make any headway, he had to look older somehow.
“ I‘m gunna take a look around…”, Pino mumbled but he didn’t think that his sister heard him over the music. Grabbing a mysterious beverage, the young man approached the brunette that was dancing and proceeded to say hello and ignore the way her eyebrow raised. Like his ‘talking to her’ was something comical. ‘ Just calm down Pino…Don‘t stress yourself.’ Grinning, the boy could only think of one thing to talk about because the music was so loud where he stood.
“ This song is great!”, Pino only yelled because he wanted to make sure that the girl heard him. ‘ Reminds me of Pink Floyd! I have two cd‘s of theirs! Do you listen to them?!-’, Pino was interrupted when a hand stole the drink from his grip and whisked it away. Irritated, he almost growled at his sister’s back and felt his stomach chill from the loss of any possible chance to impress this new person. ‘ Bella!’ Sisters could really be a nuisance. Especially that one.

[All poly's are in pictures]
Living three blocks away, Harold had quite the easy time of walking to the party once his room-mate Staci dropped him off from work. Taking his sweet time simply to savour a cigarette (Horrible habit, but he was nervous) the moment the young man saw a very familiar truck in the driveway of Casey’s house, Harold’s blood ran cold. ‘ F***! What the hell is she doing here?’, As friendly as he was towards Bella, or Bill, that girl and Casey had been friends for eons apparently, and it was like they were conjoined at the waist. In the ‘sibling’ sense, Harold had a hell of a time making any moves towards Casey whenever she was around. Not because Bella didn’t like him or anything of the sort, but for some reason Harold just felt weird when she was around. It effected his skills at seduction because she was always watching out of the corner of her eye. ‘ ‘Protective of her brother’ I‘m sure.’ Harold, (or Skull, as he was playfully called since high school) had planned on asking a very important question tonight, and now it seemed that chance was shot.
“ You couldn‘t have come back tomorrow?”, Harold wanted to mutter the whole alphabet of swear words. Remembering the last party he saw Bella at, the way Casey got so uptight when Einian tried to make some kind of mood, made his heart fester with anger. It wasn’t that Casey was so protective, I mean, if he was protective…wouldn’t he have just dragged Einian outside to sock him in the face? Wasn’t that the brotherly response? Harold was jealous. Insanely jealous.
“F***…”, Harold started to walk backwards before kicking a tin trash can and shaking his anger off through the pain in his foot. Walking back towards the door, Harold didn’t even knock before walking inside and seeing Einian and Bella talking in the corner. She looked normal, the same as she always was, and Harold was relieved when he didn’t see her standing next to Casey. ‘ Speaking of…where is he?’, Harold walked over to Bella, smiled and waved, before disappearing upstairs and rudely trying to open Casey’s door. They were good friends now, at any rate. Even though Harold desperately wanted to be more than friends again.
“ Hey Case…”, The man was acting strange, and Harold wasn’t exactly sure why. He’d been acting funny for weeks now, and at first Harold had thought that it was because Bella wasn’t around, but she was downstairs…and Casey wasn’t? ‘ What the hell is going on?’ Harold walked to a miniature fridge and pulled out a bottle of some unknown substance before heading back to Casey and ‘caringly’ touched his shoulder.
“ Whats going on Case? You‘ve been lurking in your room for weeks…”, He pointed towards the door. “ and Bills downstairs while you‘re up here by yourself?” Harold raised a curious brow and waited for some sort of response.

“ Nice to hear your dad has been taken care of so well.”, Bella offered a grimace of a smile, as if hearing a compliment on the subject was something inwardly painful. ‘ You have no idea.’, Glancing over to the kitchen just because maintaining eye contact would give the impression of being attracted when she was, ever to slightly, Bella started to reconsider her hatred against alcohol. ‘ Maybe they have ales in the fridge…’, In looking behind her, Bella noticed a startling, and yet not so surprising, discovery. Casey was gone, and her heart seemed to forget what it was like to feel warm. ‘ Well…if he doesn‘t want to talk about it…that’s okay…but he doesn‘t have to treat me like a viral plague.’
“ Your brother looks a little too excited. Have you told him yet that college is just as bad as high school?”, A small chuckle left her mouth, and Bella emotionlessly glanced in Pino’s direction. ‘ Poor Pino…’, the girl he was talking to was nowhere to be seen, and Pino was just kind of leaning against the wall with a solemn glow to his face.
“ Pino‘s home schooled…so I don‘t think he knows quite what he‘s getting into just yet.”, Able to smile at her own joke, Bella reached up her right hand to scratch the bridge of her nose as her chocolate eyes flickered back towards Einian. Truthfully, Bella always called him Einen in her head, simply from the dragon heart movie being so ingrained in her childhood. Looking back towards the empty place where Casey had been, Bella could feel her heart begin to drown, and the strength begin to sap from her chest. Bella had always been painfully optimistic, but today? No…in the last four weeks…her optimism had been steadily sinking. Casey’s obvious withdrawal only destroyed what little encouragement she had been throwing ambers at all day to feed. Grabbing Einian’s arm, Bella led him towards the backdoor and stepped out onto the moonlight patio.
“ So…I heard a rumor that you‘re trying to find another place to live. That you were thinking about transferring to another college?”, Bella hoped it had been a true, otherwise she would be completely out of luck.

“ That‘s right ma‘am. Einey needs a change of scenery. This place here is good for dead people, but not me.” Einen said before the grin that had been decorating his face morphed into a contemplative expression. Bella had only raised her eyebrow when the word ‘ma’am’ was spoken, simply because there was something about him saying it that sounded comical. Einian was always good for laughs, even though…well, perhaps especially so because he was gay. Bella’s uncle Robin was gay, as was her best friends all through middle school. She couldn’t help what her comfort zone was, it was simply that strait people tended to turn out (most of the time) to be complete jerks. ‘ Excepting Casey of course.’ Apparantly their elementary school friendship meant nothing. Looking down at the ground to hide the pain in her chest from being shown on her face, Bella only half-heartedly listened to Einen’s next comment.
“ I haven‘t had luck finding anything proper enough though.”, Suddenly Bella’s eyes seemed to water, and her face seemed to tighten. Within her body, an icy chill had begun to waft inside her chest like a draft had blown in. Chilling her entire body even though her temperature remained the same. Lightning snapping her heart, metaphorically of course, Bella let her hair cover her face before she walked the vulgar bile in her throat and leaned in close enough to not have to whisper. When she did speak; though, her voice was wet and cracked. Liquid emotion preventing her voice from sounding normal. She couldn’t hide the strain under her skin, but she could keep from holding eye-contact, and that was what she did. ‘ Moment of truth.’
“ I have a small apartment up town a little waze. Its only temporary, but it’s a place.”, Bella reached her arm, that was shaking and trembling, to touch Einian’s arm above the elbow as if she needed the support. Her eyes still on the ground, Bella softly swallowed and continued to speak where she had left off. Slamming her eyes shut at the atrocity of what she was asking.
“ Sc…Pino is in the guest room…so if you wanted to move in right away…you could share…m…my room for a few nights. ”, Silent as the grave after the last whispered word echoed near his ear, Bella’s entire body seemed to crawl with either deep revulsion or powerful anxiety. Either way, the girl tried to release Einian’s arm to press a few locks of her hair behind her ear. ‘ I asked…worst parts over.’ She lied to herself; trying to re-find her optimism.
