  Vera Stevens Who is that girl staring straight back at me? 
Vera smiled when he sat down. Danny. Cute name.
Actually, very cute.
As much as I dig the roughed up look... I'll bet he's cuter when he's all healed up.
Vera had to agree. Honestly, the kid looked like he had just gotten in a gang fight... and lost. And lost bad.
"Probably." She forced a smile.
Yeah, Alexandria was all about the sex games. All about seduction.
"I mean, almost anyone is more attractive when their face isn't busted all to hell."
Alexandria's hand crept onto Danny's knee, then thigh, then just a little higher. The kid was bound to get even more uncomfortable.
Arek came busting through the door and any other person who was sleeping with one person would have pulled their hand away or made some effort to cover up the fact that she was obviously interested in someone else.
Alexandria did nothing of the sort.
"I got the..." Arek paused, his eyes locked on Danny.
"Who's he?"
Vera interjected.
"Its Danny, he's new." She took him by the hand and pulled him into her room. The last empty room they had there when she moved in.
"He's an old friend of mine."
Alright, so maybe that was her last ditch effort to not have Arek kill the kid. Cause yeah, it was pretty obvious Arek was tripping on something.
Vera locked the door behind them.
"Drugs are a pretty ... well, they're potent here to say the least. You gotta be careful who you say to who and what and when. It's insane, but its a cheap roof over your head. You can sleep in here, I'll throw you a pillow and there's an extra blanket around here somewhere."
"Who is he and why the ******** was your hand on his d**k!"
Vera rolled her eyes. "Try to ignore him, I know it's hard but he's too ******** jealous to be sleeping with someone like Alexandria. That's all."
Vera sat down on her cheap bed, avoiding the springs that popped through the fabric.
"You drink or smoke, or anything?"

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal KatyaFear is how I fall
Confusing what is real There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surfaceXXXXX Consuming XxX Confusing Aleksandra This lack of self-control
I fear is never ending *~Kissin~*   "Yes, your apartment." Kiss confirmed with a nod. Come oooon....
"Yeah that tends to happen when you drink too much, where is yo-" He spoke again.
"A 27 okay, I think that's down that wa.... A 5? That's across the other side of the complex. s**t."
They were both sort of in the same direction, but one much farther than they other, and a totally different aisle.
"Yeah, I bet you do" she said, when he said he felt like s**t.
Alright.
Fine.
Her apartment it is.
Kiss just hoped he was done throwing up, because he'd barely missed her.
"No, come on, you aren't going to be feeling any better any time soon. Resting for a few minutes isn't going to help." She said to him, and put her arm around him, shoulder under his shoulder. If only she wasn't so much smaller than him...
Kiss was in very good shape, but the guy was awkward to move, and she was very small.
"One step at a time, okay, come on. My apartment doesn't have any stairs okay? We don't need to worry about any stairs."     Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...
...To find myself again

Vera Stevens Who is that girl staring straight back at me?
Vera grinned.
Gorgeous? Gosh.
It was really nice to have someone compliment her again. It had been so long..
Nobody loved her anymore. Or ever, probably. But she chose not to think about the past, the baby daddy. All of that backdrop to her life.
"I'm far from shady. I'm trustworthy, just not trusting." And by the looks of it, this kid wasn't a far cry from being trusting. Hell, he may even have more trust issues than Vera herself.
She giggled. "Very nice. You're creative. I like that." She put out her cigarette and sat up beside him. But not until she popped a couple of mints into her mouth. She only smoked to calm herself, she really hated that s**t.
"My story? And why should I tell you anything when all you've done is spun a wondrously awful life that is completely untrue?"
"I'm not looking to screw you over. I'm not looking to make you out to be some fool, I was only curious." Vera smirked. "But I understand that I am nothing but a gorgeous stranger. In time, you'll learn I may be the only one you can confide in in this household." She had to snicker at her choice of words there.
Household.
More like dump, shithole, or whathaveyou. It was a roof, nevertheless. She had to remind herself of that quite often.
"My story is awfully complicated. And very, very true sir. I'm not sure you could handle it." Vera winked, leaning closer to him.
She heard a door slam, knowing it was Arek and Alexandria slamming bodies and swapping spit down on the otherside of the trailer.
"Lets get you cleaned up."
She took him by the hand, leading him to the bathroom.

I fear is never ending *~Kissin~* Ignoring his complaints, Kiss pulled the guy along and rolled her eyes at his amusement at being taken to her place. Hopefully he didn't turn into a psychopath in the morning. There were too many of those going around.
They got there, somehow, and as soon as they were, the dude crashed on her futon- literally crashed. She winced at the sight.
"That's fine, but try not to throw up at least until I get back with something to do so in."
She ran off to the tiny kitchen, which didn't require much running, and quickly came back with her biggest pot and a towel.
She placed the towel on the floor by him, and the pot on top of it.
Then he asked for her name.
"Kiss. Uh, Katy. Katy" she corrected herself, nodding. Ugh, he'd have a field day with it if she let him call her Kiss, wouldn't he? But probably too late.
She didn't mind it most of the time, but he was drunk and stupid. And weird.
Not that she had any room to talk... but still.

I fear is never ending *~Kissin~* Alright, yeah too late. But his reaction hadn't been the one she'd expected. Hadn't really thought he'd use the word cute in relation.
"My last name's Kissin" she said for an explanation and shrugged.
Aw, how cute. A drunken slobbery fool falling asleep on her futon.... aaaw....
Then he was stumbling over the word necessary, or so she figured he meant, before he finally got his real point across. Oh, duh. Water and painkillers.
"Or two" she said, before nodding and and making her way down the small hall to the only bedroom in the place, hers.
She came back in just a minute and passed by him to get the water, which also only took a moment. She'd been lucky enough to get her mom's old fridge when she bought stainless steal, so she actually had one with a water dispenser on it.
"Here" she held out a plastic cup 3 quarters full, and two painkillers, "Hope Asprin will do. And try to drink all of the water, but please don't piss yourself. Bathroom's not hard to miss only door in the hall before my room."
Oh yeah, she'd seen it happen. Piss drunk was thus named for a reason. Against my will I stand beside my own reflection

Far from shady? Vera was trying to convince him she was far from shady. She lived in a trailer that had a certain....smoggy feel, with a woman that seemed to not know anything about space at all. But then again Danny wasn't trusting of anyone. Cops even looked shady to him, so who was he to judge too harshly.
Danny analyzed all of her moves carefully and with a psychologist-like eye. He had studied it in high school, really at the library when he didn't want to go home and needed something to do. This Vera girl was very perplexing, she smoked and then immediately popped mints in her mouth, getting rid of the taste. Danny's face scrunched into a confused look but then turned to a smile when she refused telling him her story.
"Oh come on. You make something up now. It is fun and really relieves stress. I have about three stories I modify and cycle through when anybody asks." He chuckled but she had moved on with her defense.
"And I am supposed to trust someone who won't trust me in return? Well it seems we are at an impasse."
Wait household, she just said household. Implying that this was one strong unit working together. He laughed and shook his head. "You may be the most trustworthy, but that isn't saying much seeing as how the rest of the people here have lying a*****e written all over them."
Complicated? Life didn't seem to get anymore complicated than Danny's life. Though she didn't know that because he had told her a completely false story. She leaned pretty close to him and it was quiet. Until a door slammed and made him jump and scramble away. Something told Danny that the sound of sex wasn't odd around here and it was another thing he would have to get used to.
Groaning, he sighed loudly. He had gotten himself into some s**t now.
He felt himself being pulled again. Cleaned up? That was new. Someone caring,or pretending to.
"Cleaned up, yeah."
 after years of this I stopped wishing for anything..    I often wonder what normal kids wished for..

Only two?
Well, he really couldn't b***h about it. He kept his mouth shut, unhappily.
He watched her through half-closed eyes as she walked around, getting him the stuff he needed. For a moment, he could picture himself back at home on their family couch with the same drunken problem.
Only he had just partied with his best friends and Remi was the one aiding him.
"God, Ronnie. When will you learn?"
She chastised him a lot about his partying.
"You're gonna spend all day in bed tomorrow, sicker than a dog. How is that even worth it?"
With his head in her lap, she force fed him Advil and water. Lots of water.
"We have to get you upstairs and to bed before mom and dad wake up, they'll freak if they catch you out here... drunk."
He appreciated her help, but always rolled his eyes and pretended to be Mr. Macho.
At times like these, without Remi, he wished he had shown his appreciation a little more.
"Thanks, Kiss." He smirked, not being able to help himself.
"I appreciate the help." Maybe being nice to this stranger would soothe his self loathing for the time being.
"My sister used to take care of me like this... I never did thank her enough." He muttered after finishing off his glass of water.
No pissing on himself.
Check.
"I won't wet the bed, pinkie swear." Lazily, he held up his pinkie before starting to drift off into Never-Never Land.
"Oh, and Kiss?"
Ronnie forced his eyes half-open once more.
"I'll be gone by morning, don't worry. I'm good at that." He even chuckled a bit.

Vera Stevens Who is that girl staring straight back at me?
Despite the fact that Vera was never actually a mom, just birth mother, she had a pretty strong motherly effect sometimes. She had picked it up during her pregnancy.
Perched on the bathroom sink, she gently wiped away some dried blood and dirt on Danny's face. She did her best to be careful not to hurt him, especially on the places that looked sensitive.
While she did so, she hummed softly to herself.
Pausing only to speak of her 'story'.
"I was raised in a home where nothing was safe. Not innocent, not a piggy bank, not a thing. My daddy was a drunk and my mother had ran off soon after I was born. Drugs sounded more fun than being a mother."
God, if you didn't really know Vera, she seemed an awful lot like her mother now.
"Dad never did nothin' but drink away his sorrows. My older brothers Mark and John moved out before I was really old enough to take care of myself. Not that it mattered, I was skilled at being independent long before their departure."
"Dad was lonely and I was just another pretty, blurred face to him in the darks of the night, in the midst of his whiskey phase. I'm not even sure he knew it was me beneath him. Me soaking up his dirty, musky scent. His disgusting love."
So, up until now her story was the raw truth. She wasn't trying to spill her guts, she had had every intention of making up a story, a facade. Somehow, the truth just poured out. But when tears threatened to surface, she began to lie.
"I left when I saved up enough for a car, took off to the city. New York. Nothing good happened there. I fell into the stripper's life. Good money, beautiful body, easy tricks. I hardly worked hard at all. Men basically drooled over me and threw me money as if it were nothing." She handed Danny a towel.
"I was climbing to the top down there, until I met the wrong guy that is. He was a sweet talker, alright. Promised me the luxury life and all that. All I had to do was sell my soul to the devil, become his little princess. I did just that. It was all fun and games and shopping and luxury, 'til I missed a few pills and got pregnant. He dropped me faster than anything."
Vera turned on the water in the shower, letting it heat up. "It was as if I never existed. I hardly had a penny to my name at that point. What was I supposed to do? I found some nice couple to pay for everything, the hospital and all that- They even let me stay with them for awhile. All I had to do was give them what they couldn't conceive on their own- My baby."
A fabricated story with some solid truth.
Her words caught in her throat.
She had to stop now, speaking of her little baby girl was too much.
"I ended up back in the only life I knew. Smoking, drugs, it hides the pain. I feel ... Well, It lets me escape my past." She wasn't about to admit the one secret she really had.
"At least the last bit was true. It really is a pretty great escape."
Vera swallowed- Hard.
"Get in the shower kid, ya need it." She gently nudged him, making sure not to cause him more pain than he already had, then stepped back out into the cool hallway, not shutting the door just yet.
