Welcome to Gaia! ::

Liz shrugged. I am not really in to waffles any more." her eyes widened in realization, she looked at Julia. "Now I know why I was crazy over those things."
Andrew walked into the room, and at first didn't notice savanah, then his eyes cough some thing strange, blonde in a sea of brown. His eyes darted over and he stopped dead in his tracks. He wasn't scared of her, but this was a little uncomfterble.
Andrew started to back away, back to the door. But Liz stopped him. "Stop!" Andrew froze. "Get over here!" Liz ordered. Andrew hung his head and walked poutingly over and sat down on the side of the bed next to Liz. She smiled over at Savanah. "Aint it great to be incontrol?" She then smiled at Andrew, and kissed him on the cheek. "You so cute when your pouty."
Andrew raised on eye brow. "Have you always thought that, if so, poor Adrian." He turned his head away form her. "Hmph." And crossed his arms.
Andrew, was again, taken off guard by his phone. Why was every one trying to give Andrew a heart attack. He checked the caller idea, and stared at it for a moment. It was the local prison. Andrew was slightly afriad, he didn't do any thing wrong, except that weed last year, when him and adrian....
It clicked in Andrew's head and he quickly picked up before the line when dead. "Hello?"
It wasn't his mom as he hoped, but some wordin dude. He started explaining thing, and the last one, Andrew did not want to here. The man said, 'Your mom faces the death penity.'
Andrew's face lost all color, his eyes where haunted. The phone slipped from andrew's hand and hit the floor with a light thud. Andrew stared off into nothing. He pulled his knees up to his chest, getting closer to Liz. He was to shocked and overwhelmed to cry. His light brown eyes looked glassy. He pressed his mouth to his knees and shook his head. "No. No,no,no,no,no." He muttered. He stopped shaking his head, and he gazed on blankly. "Why does this have to happen." His voice was just above a whisper.
Liz was full of concern and fear for Andrew, she placed one hand on his shoulder the other on his leg. She tried to look into his eyes, but found it scary at how haunted they where. "Andrew? What's wrong, what happened?" Liz kept her voice soft, afriad to scare or anger Andrew. But he said nothing, just stayed that way.

Adrian had fallen asleep on the couch, watching crappy knock off comidy acts on T.V. But the sound of his phone going off jolted him up.
Adrian sat up and looked at his phone. It was savanah. He read the message. For a split second, he forgot how to breathe. How could there be any thing wrong with andrew. A million things popped into Adrian's head. Non of them good.
Adrian got up and darted out the door. He found his car parked out back. It hadn't moved since he left. He jumped in and headed to the hospital.
Adrian quickly checked in as Liz's brother and hurried down the hall to her room. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Mr. Kruz. Unfortunetly, Mr. Kruz saw him.
"Hey, Adrian." He said like they where old friends.
Adrian didn't know what to do, so he stayed still. "Come on, come in. The wife is no where to be seen. Your safe."
Adrian smiled. Mr. Kruz loved Adrian, and had alittle resentment towards his wife. So... adrian was safe. He walked up to the door and stopped before opening it, he turned to Mr. Kruz. "I was never here."
Mr. Kruz smiled at Adrian. "No you weren't."
Adrian nodded then headed into the room. Just as he did, Julia started crying. "Come on....!" Adrian whined. This happened ever time. Then, Adrian's eyes found Andrew, he did look in shock. Adrian's heart dropped. He knew it was some thing really bad. He had only been like this twice in his life. First, when his mom went to prison when he was nine. Then, the first few days after he got home, after getting cought in the cross fires of a gang shooting.
Adrian rushed over to andrew's side, ignoring the crying baby, who Liz took care of. Adrian rested on arm on Andrew's shoulders and leaned in close to him. "What happened."
Andrew broke his silence, and explained every thing to adrian, but only at a whisper.
Adrian stood Andrew up and walked him over to the vacent bed on the other side of the room. Adrian layed cross-legged on the bed. Andrew layed down, on his back, head resting on Adrian's legs. Adrian rubbed his shoulder. "It's okay." He looked up at Savanah, remembering her whole, don't touch andrew rule. "Sorry, friends help friends. Thats all I can say." Andrew stayed silent, staring up at the ceiling.

"What are you doin' out here all alone pretty little girl." A kind soft voice said, as a tall dark haired man walked up to savanah. He could have been Adrian him self. But he looked a few years older, more mature. And his eye where not icey blue, but instead a washed out hazel color.
Besides that, he was Adrian. Tall, lean, black hair, similer features. Same emo look. His skin wasn't as pale. He smiled warmly at savanah. He had perfectly straight and white teeth. And a lack of peircings pointed out a nother difference. THe smallest hind of eye liner clung to his lash line.
"A girl like you shouldn't be out here all alone now." The man crouched down infront of savanah. "Adrian can be an a** some times. Can't here Savanah." The man paused. Then remembered Savanah didn't know who he was, so this was really awkward. He smiled and chuckled. "I'm sorry. I'm Jared. I'm Adrian's cousin. And yes, I know who you are. Adrian wont stop talking about you. He sent me several pictures, but non of them where as good as the real you, in person."
Jared sat down next to savanah. He had just gotten into town, and Adrian had called him and told him about screwing up. Again. So, Jared went out to find savanah. And now he did. "I would say I'm sorry about my little cousin, but some thing just tells me this is his fault. So, he needs to say it him self.
Jared got a text from Adrian: Did you find her?
Jared made sure Savanah wasn't reading over his shoulder: Yes I did. Jared then sent Adrian the street adress and crap.
Adrian texted back: Thank you, I'll be there soon.
Jared smiled at his phone then put it away.
For what seemed like a while, Jared just sat there, next to savanah and watched the world go by. Then, a black car pulled up, and Andrew stepped out, he had what seemed like seven black roses in his hand.
Andrew looked around in confusion. Adrian was supost to meet him here. Considering, Adrian just had to come straight fromt he hospital, he should have beat andrew here, who had to go home, then here.
Then, andrew saw savanah. He trotted over to here, handing the roses to Jared. He hugged savanah tight. "I am soo soo sorry for screwing things up." He kissed he temple in a brotherly like way and pulled away. Jared handed him the roses. Andrew smiled and took them back. Andrew looked at savanah and handed her the roses. "THis was not really the way things where supost to go. Adrian was supost to give these to you. BUt where the hell is he?" ANdrew looked over at Jared, who shrugged. The he turned back to savanah. "Sorry, He would have had these to begin with, but I'm the only one with access to Black roses. So, I was going to give them tohim to give to you. But where is he?!" ANdrew had a habbit of saying to much, and explaining things when an explanation was not needed.
Suddenly , adrian came trotting down the side walk towards every one. He came to a stop infront of andrew and savanah. He seemd out of breath as if he had just run all the way around town. He wrapped his arms around savanah. "I am so sorry!! I didn't mean to make you mad back there at the hospital. I didn't mean for what I said to anger you. I am soooo sorry!" Adrian said franticly. "And I'm sorry I'm late. Got caught up with some..... old friends."
"Hey! Emo little fagget!" A barly man voice said as he walked up towards the group.
"s**t." Adrian muttered. He turned to savanah. "Lets go." He wrapped and arm around savanah's shoulders and started leading her toward andrew's car. He did his best to ignore the annoying man.
Jared stood up and placed him self between savanah and adrian, and the man. The man laughed. "Look Adrian, you brought in your actual fagget little..."
Jared hit the man hard, cutting him off. Jared strugled with the man, until he had him pinned to the ground. Jared had the one of the mans arms in an awkward possition, and has his knee on his back. "What did you say!?" Jared snapped.
The mans eyes where full of fear. This had never happened to him before. "No-no- nothing, man. Please let me go."
Jared janked on the mans arm, giving him a better hold on him. "I don't think so. You tourture my cousin for years, and now you have started going after my boyfriend. I don't think I want to let you go." Jared then smiled up at Adrian sweetly. "Go on. I have it from here."
Adrian was slightly shocked at his cousins awesomeness. But he saw the danger here, so he helped savanah into the back seat of andrew car and sat next to here. Andrew gave Adrian the black roses then got into the drivers seat. He put the car in gear and quickly headed out ot here, Back to Adrian's house.
ADrian smiled at savanah and handed her the roses. "I'm sorry."
Andrew came to a stop light and looked back at Adrian and savanah. "Dear god man!" He said with concern. "What did that b*****d do to you?"
Adrian was confused, but then felt the sharp small pain in his leg. He looked down and saw, half way down to his knee on his upper leg, was a red splatch. He grimced. "I should have watched where that guy was waving his knife."
"You idiot." Andrew shook his head, then the light turned green.
"It's nothing. I'm seriuos." Adrian waved off the whole subject then hugged savanah. "You know I never try to make you mad. I'm sorry. Agian."

Jared was scared to the point where he let the man go. The man scrambled up and sprinted away. He was running so fast and in a blink panic, he ran smack dab into a wall.
Jared was paniced. Savanah scared him. Adrian had told him about the whole wolf thing, he just never saw it in person. Or seen it at all.
Jared stood up as a car pulled up to the curb. A tall, blonde emo guy stepped out and hurried to Jared, who looked like he'd just seen a ghost. "Are you okay?" THe mans voice filled with panic.
"No." Jared said in a whining sobby like voice. He dropped his head on the blonde mans shoulders. Who patted his back.
"It's okay, it's okay, lets go." He cooned then they both got in the car and headed to Adrian's house, the short way.

Andrew pulled up at Adrian's house, in the back. Adrian smiled at savanah. "Welcome back." They all got out othe car and headed in side.
Adrian started towards the living room, and found the blonde man. "What the hell? What are you doing here."
The blonde man smiled. "Hi, and Jared. As if I would just randomly come into your house."
"YOu have." Adrian said flatly.
"Oh. Okay." THe blonde man smiled then walked away.
Adrian turned to savanah. "That would be Alec, Jared's current and longest kept boyfriend." Adrian went into the living room and plopped down on the couch. He looked up at Savanah and smiled.

Andrew sighed and sat down at the bar in the kitched. He rested his and elbow on the counter, and his chin on his hand. He looked at savanah saddly. "If you really want to know." Andrew deverted his eyes to the counter. and continued talking. "You know how I said my mom was in prison. She has been since I was nine. I came here to live with Adrian, cause my dad left when I was four. I lived here for five years. THen aunt clara moved out from Germany and I moved in with here. My mom told me, she had tried to kill our neighbor, a teenager named Jake. I just found out, she didn't just try, she did. And she lyed to my freakin' face. To think she actually loved me. But thats not it, I always throught that, considering I never saw Jake after that weekend. What is really killing me is, what they are going to do to her for that." Andrew looked up at savanah, eyes wet and lost. At that moment, he did not look like an 18 year old emo kid, he looked like a lost little kid with no where to go. "She on death row. The stupid state's gonna kill her." Andrew quickly changed the subject. "Back at the house, when I kissed Adrian, I'm sorry. I didn't know you two where to gether, I would have never done it if I did. And at the hospital, I'm sorry." Andrew crossed his arms on the counter and rested his head on them, his dark eyes getting even wetter as he tried not to cry infront of savanah. "I'm sorry." His voice was now quiet and shaky. "I'm sorry."

((Jared Minus the peircings. Alec. Andrew))

Savanah went over to Andrew, and hugged her arms around him, and rested her head on his shoulder. "Baby, its okay." She whispered. "Its going to be okay. I...I know, it doesn't seem like it will be at first...I know, it feels like the whole world is just...out to get you...but when I killed my whole family, or thought I did...after a few months...it stopped hurting so bad. Yeah, after years, it kills me, and its even worse because I was the one who did it. That's when....I started hurting myself." She tried not to look at all the scars on her left arm. "But believe me, its going to be okay. And if your mom has been doing bad things, like killing people, then maybe its good for her to die. Not, like in that way, but for her to let go, if you understand what I mean. Maybe she's hurting inside, and this could be a good thing. I know its an awful...awful thing...but you just have to remember all the things you loved about her. How much you love her. I promise, I'll be here if you want to talk, okay?" She leaned back, and hugged her arms to herself, making her seem sort of vunrable, unlike the steel hard, untouchable girl you usually see. She got up, went to the kitchen again, and got some instant coffee stuff, made that, and started sipping it. It was black. She downed the whole thing in about...thirty seconds, washed the cup, put it away, and sat on the sofa beside Adrian. Not moving.

Savanah started laughing hysterically, and flopped over. "He's funna." She giggled.
She sat back up, and stared at Adrian. "Your calm. Why?" She started bouncing in place. "Its fun to be hyper. It make's you feel good, and you laugh, and when you laugh your body feels good, and when your body feels good, your life expands, and when your life expands, then you feel even more good, so you start laughing, and then it all starts over again, and then you DIE!" She took on a very serious face. She said that whole sentence in one, gushing, non-stop breath. She started laughing again, and leaned forward. Then, she noticed how shocking his eyes were. She had never really thought about that before. Her caffeen high melted way, and she studied Adrian.
"Hey...we've never...really done anything besides kissing." She murmured, reaching out to press her palm to his cheek. "And you tell me all the time how much you love me, and, I hope you know that I love you too..." She whispered, eyes never leaving his.
