It all happened so quickly. In a flash it seemed that the door to Adam's apartment was opened, and there Cailen was. How much did he hear? Alice wondered. Of course, it became obvious that as soon as Cailen spoke, his anger seemed to be directed mostly at Adam, meaning he probably only heard the tail end of the conversation, where Adam had planned to cover up everything that had happened.
“Or I could just punch you in the face, no questions asked.”
Before Alice had the chance to beg Cailen to calm down so that she could explain, he had already flung himself in Adam's direction, knocking him to the floor. In the process he also knocked off the items on the cart that Adam had wheeled over. Surely, now, the items had be broken. If they were from the initial fall, they would be soon by the way Cailen began wailing on Adam.
"Cailen! Stop it! This isn't going to solve anything!" Alice cried out, doing her best to pull Cailen off of Adam, not wanting to see either of them fighting. Especially not when everything was her fault, and now Adam's face was taking the punishment for what she'd done. Adam had been the one to tell her to leave, she was the one who refused. Cailen should be angry at her. "Please... please just stop!" Alice continued to holler, even though it was painfully obvious that Cailen wasn't listening. He was much, much stronger than she was, and even despite her efforts, she wasn't able to pull him off of Adam.
"Cailen... listen to me! Adam asked me to leave... I didn't. This is my fault! Please... please just let me explain!" Alice persisted in trying to separate the two from fighting, meanwhile hoping that if she drew the blame to herself it would end the scuffle. Cailen would never physically harm her like he was doing to Adam, the worst he would do is scream at her - she would much rather his anger be directed her way than watch the two fight.
The more she struggled to pull the two away from each other, the more strained she began to feel. The lightheaded feeling from before took her over again, but she ignored it being afraid that the two were going to kill each other and it would be her fault. After a few more moments, she couldn't ignore the way she was feeling any longer. She stood back and began to wobble as she attempted her way to the sink to grab a glass of water figuring it would make her feel better. At very least, if it didn't make her feel better she could throw it at Cailen and Adam, hoping that it would break up their fight. "Guys... please... I... think I..." Now she was pleading for them to stop more so that they would realize something was really wrong with her, but also because they were tearing each other to shreds. Alice felt her feet start to give out from underneath her and she reached out for the nearest thing she could to try and brace herself from falling, which happened to be the edge of the table Adam had positioned in his kitchen. While grabbing the table, she managed to escape cracking her head on the floor as she went down, but her left shoulder still managed to smack against a wooden chair during her fall making a loud smack.
Lying on the floor, she remained conscious, but unable to get up. The room seemed to be spinning in seventeen different directions and all she could focus on was the burning pain now present in her shoulder. Her stomach churned from the pain and from what she had just witnessed - she prayed that she didn't vomit, knowing that she wasn't able to move herself to her side, and being unsure if Cailen or Adam would even realize she'd fallen and be able to move her.
outofcharacter: oh my gosh Katelyn, what an epic post!! I read it, and was like, "ZOMG!!"
And I know eh? Better start pitching the idea to some TV networks. And I also agree - Cailen and Skylar need to somehow get talking alone again!! Oh la la!~

Do you remember when we didn't care?
We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there
"Do you remember you at all?"
Another heart calls
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Jack wanted to nod, but his head just wouldn't let him. His grip on Skylar's hand grew tighter and he grimaced, "I just need to go home and rest, no need to get the hospital involved." His feet slid towards his butt so his knees were up. "What's important is getting Bella back." He started to get up, fighting through the pain. His stomach churned and he felt woozy, like his arms were made of linguini. He felt the cool air on his wound, he knew he must've had a pretty nasty fall.
Jack felt something drip down his forehead and hit his cheek. He didn't bother to touch it, he already knew it was blood. But he just leaned himself against Skylar and tried not to close his eyes. "You'll have to drive, but I'm sure I'll be okay." Liar, what a dirty liar, but he had to. He had to play it off as nothing so they could focus on two things: Bella and Cailen's Money.
The pain surged through his entire body, but as his body stiffened he still forced a smile. He looked up at his car and felt his pocket for his keys. His fingers felt stiff and numb. Another wave of nausea hit him and he just tossed the keys into Skylar's lap. He reached up and grabbed the side of the car and started to stand. His legs felt like jello, his body ached and his head pounded. He wanted to die. 'Don't show pain, whatever you do, don't let her know it's just as bad as it is. Whatever happens, you have to remain strong, for Bella.' He leaned his hot face into the cool metal of the car. His fingers searched for the door handle.
Jack felt as if he were to vomit, but there was nothing left in his system. He pulled the door open weakly and shuffled into the backseat. He didn't remember what happened next, he just fell face first into the seat and everything went black again.

 S K Y L A R XXX L E N N O X███████████████████ █████ ███
And I need you to make the promise l a s t
To contradict my past
To know that I am s a n e
To help me feel a s h a m e d 
______________________________________________________________________________
Skylar was trying to concentrate on two things at once. One of the items being her driving. She tried to be as careful as she could. She didn’t want to be hitting every bump and have poor Jack suffer because of it. Jack was the second thing on her mind. She kept glancing in the backseat to make sure he was alright. The drive seemed to be taking forever which just ate away at Skylar’s nerves. Why couldn’t they be there soon? The sooner she got Jack to the hospital, the sooner Sky would have a chance to think through all the things that were on her mind.
Sky felt her phone go off telling her that she received a text. There was no time to look at it now. She would just have to remember to check it after Jack was safe at the hospital. Hearing Jack stir, Sky immediately check on him in the back. He said something about Bella and once again, Sky was blown away by his concern for her even when he was barely conscious. ”Jack, please be careful. I’m taking you to the hospital so you can have your head looked at. We’re almost there.” Her eyes darted from the road to the backseat every few seconds. She was nervous about him sitting up to buckle himself in when she realized that was probably the best idea and she should have done something along those lines at the beginning.
The hospital was only a few blocks away now and she was happy that Jack was at least awake. She heard her name and she looked back at him. He was trying to tell her something and she could easily see that he was struggling to get it out. ”Jack, don’t worry about it. You can tell me later. Just concentrate on relaxing and getting better. Whatever it is, you can tell me later.” She heard him say something about her hating him and a bit of confusion hit her. Why would she hate him? She looked back at him and saw him out cold again.
Luckily, the hospital was in sight and she pulled up behind another car that was there. A car that was very familiar with two people she knew quite well. She was happy to know that Cailen and Adam were both here but she wondered where Alice was. She put the car in park and then opened the door. ”Can one of you help me get Jack inside? He’s been in and out the whole time and just recently knocked out again. I know I won’t be able to carry him myself.” She didn’t wait for one of them to agree before going to the side of the car that Jack was on and opening the door. She carefully unbuckled his seat belt and then started to try and figure out the best way to get him out of the car.
[I almost feel like I should change my layout with the way everyone else is. =P I'm also a bit nervous to be given the power of the newspaper. Must avoid the urge to hit peopel with it....]

' Oh crap...', all the color draining from Adam's face, the man narrowed his eyed aggresively in the hopes of putting Cailen off guard. Being a model meant that Adam did have a steady work out regime, so muscle wise, Adam could certainly take Cailen on if he began a rampage.
'“Or I could just punch you in the face, no questions asked.”, Adam narrowed his eyes a little more and furrowed his eyebrows determinedly.
' Sounds like a plan.', Just standing there and letting Cailen shove him to the ground, Adam grimaced and closed his eyes protectively; but, allowed the fist to slam into his face. Letting him hit him without thinking the outcome through had not been the best of ideas. Imagining the pain and actually feeling the earthshattering blow to his cheekbone were two very different things as well. ' GOOD GOD!!! HOLY M*THERF**KING SH*T! YOU *SSW*PE!' Doubled over on the floor from the aftershock; Adam had lost his vision upon impact and for the moment could only see through a static screen. Fumbling to kick whatever happened to be closest in the hopes of defending himself against further attack, Adam heard the crashing sound of glass.
Eventually finding himself entangled in a wrestling match to try and defend himself from further socks to the face, Adam could vaguely hear Alice trying to call out to Cailen in the background. He couldn't blame the man for being upset, but for once Adam genuinely believed that if he didn't fight back Cailen was going to kill him. As Cailen's face worked its way through the blackness, Adam saw clearly enough to try and sock Cailen in the nose.
"Cailen... listen to me! Adam asked me to leave... I didn't. This is my fault! Please... please just let me explain!", Adam heard Alice over the sound of a potted plant falling over from an end table and smashing down on the floor. Hoping more than believing that Cailen would stop when Alice mentioned this, Adam wanted to pipe up something like: 'She's right.' but then he would sound like a bloody coward. Besides, like he wanted Alice to take the blame for this. He should -never- have allowed himself to develop feelings for Alice in the first place, Cailen had a right to be upset. His whole world was falling apart. ' Yeah, well he's not the only one.'
Unable to end the fight even when he felt Alice's arms tugging at his shoulders (as he happened to be the one nearly on top for a few moments), Adam loosed his grip at Alice's interferance only to feel the rewards of his actions via a sharp punch to his abdomen. A small amount of vomit choking its way out of Adam's bleeding mouth.
"Guys... please... I... think I...", Hearing the breathless nausea in her tone, Adam's heart began to worriedly pound. The loud smack was what ended all activity on his side, the noise shocking him out of the 'mountain lion' fighting frenzy he had been wrapped up in.
" ALICE!", Now punching Cailen out of desperation than self preservation, Adam took a leaf from his neighbor's cat's book and raised both of his legs to kick/shove Cailen off of him. Not giving a f*** that Cailen might think it was his 'duty' to check on Alice first, Adam raced to her side on the floor and kneeled down to stroke his palm against her chin. Wordlessly praying that he would feel Alice's pulse throbbing against his fingers. ' Please be alright...Please be alright...' Alice wasn't waking up, but she still had a pulse. Adam only then realized that he had been holding in his breath, because the sudden pain forced him to gasp for air like a dying man. ' Oh thank God. She's just unconscious.'. Standing up and rushing to the sink, Adam took a clean glass from the strainer and filled it with water. ' Maybe she'll wake up in a minute...', Turning back around, Adam saw the destruction in the living room and almost dropped the glass.
The television was shattered in multiple places. His hopes of earning enough to help rescue Bella shattered along with it.
Every fibre of his being wanted to scream at Cailen, let his thoughts loose and continue the fight where they had left off...But...Seeing Alice lying unconscious on the floor was the only thing Adam was concerned about. They could argue or kill each other later, when Alice was alright. Not mentioning another word on the subject, Adam assumed Cailen would want to help Alice as much as he did, and pointed towards the door.
" I'm...", Adam gagged slightly from the build-up of fluid in his throat. Pausing to wipe the fluid off of his face, only then realizing that he had been bleeding, Adam coughed a few times before swallowing his saliva and bending low towards Alice.
" Can you help me carry her Cailen? We need to take her to the hospital.", Adam could carry Alice perfectly, if not painfully, on his own. But he realized then that Cailen might prefer to do the carrying. She was, after all, still technically his girlfriend.

 Cailen$Legosi Cailen never realized how good it was going to feel to punch Adam. It wasn’t just hitting Adam that made it feel good, it was just finally letting out everything that was building up inside. He even smiled when he saw that Adam was taken aback from his punch. It was exhilarating. It only took a moment for Adam to fight back though, catching him right in the nose. Cailen could feel the warm blood trickle from his nose and he only hoped it wasn’t broken. The two then ensued in a wrestling match each trying to fight off the other. He could only vaguely hear Alice yelling in the background. He was too focused on beating the crap out of Adam to fully hear what she was saying. She was going to be mad at him, he knew, but at the moment he didn’t really care. It wasn’t until he heard a loud crash that he seemed to be shocked out of the phase. He didn’t know what happened, but when he heard Adam’s yell he looked over at Alice who was now lying unmoving on the ground. In that one moment that he wasn’t looking Adam managed to once more punch him. As much as Cailen wanted to get back at him for that last punch, he knew he had to worry about Alice now.
Doubling over from the kick Adam gave, Cailen watched as Adam raced over to Alice. Once he was able to get his breath back, he ran over to see what happened. Seeing her lying there made him feel awful. What have I done? He couldn’t help but feel guilty for this. If he listened to her and stopped the fight, then none of this would have happened. “Alice?” he asked grabbing her hand and smoothing his thumb over it. He heard Adam start to say something and he looked up at him. He looked horrible. His face was swollen and bloody and Cailen could only imagine what his face might look like. Like he needs help carrying her, he is probably just worried I’ll flip on him if he touches her. And he’s right. “Yeah, I got it” he said scooping Alice up and cradling her in his arms. Cailen decided that they were going to take his car and walked over to put Alice in the back seat. Once in the driver’s seat he took out his phone. He hadn’t heard from either Skylar or Jack and was going to inform them that they were on their way to the hospital. He noticed that he had a missed call from Skylar. I must not have noticed it when I was busy dealing with Adam.
He listened to the voice mail she left and became worried. She sounded scared on the phone as she informed him that she too was on her way to the hospital with Jack. He closed the phone and turned the car on. “Skylar’s on her way to the hospital with Jack. He too fell and hit his head and she’s driving him to the hospital,” he informed Adam. He opened his phone again and sent a message to Skylar before he left the parking lot. “is he alright? Adam and i on our way to hospital with Alice. see you there” He drove out of the parking lot trying to drive fast, but careful as well. So they were all going to meet up again at the hospital. It was kind of ironic and it even though he was feeling bad, he half smiled. The coincidence was just too funny to ignore. What am I thinking? This is not a laughing matter. He couldn’t help himself though. This day was just one nightmare after another, like it shouldn’t be real. This time he chuckled out loud. Adam must think he’s off his rocker, but he didn’t really care what he thought. The day just kept getting worse and worse and for some reason, Cailen found it rather funny.
OOC: Aw shucks, thank you! I actually wrote it while waiting to meet with a teacher. Maybe I should thank him for making me wait 20 minutes.

 ▬▬ alice humphrey ▬▬LOVE IS LIKE A SIN, MY LOVE
FOR THE ONES THAT FEEL IT THE MOST
LOOK AT HER WITH HER EYES LIKE A FLAME
SHE WILL LOVE YOU LIKE A FLY WILL NEVER LOVE YOU
AGAIN
"Alice!"
She could hear Adam calling out her name. She wanted to respond, but for some reason there was no sound coming out of her mouth. Perhaps her lips were not even moving. Was she really awake? Or was she somehow able to be aware of what was going on around here despite her unconscious state?
"I'm alive, it's okay. I just need help up," Alice tried to reassure him, but he did not seem to hear the words she was speaking. "Can you hear me? I said I'm okay," she repeated once again, but still nothing. Shortly after, she could hear Cailen's voice above her as well. She tried to call out to him, but with about as much luck as she had trying to communicate with Adam. Discouraged, she allowed herself (as if she was given the option at this point) to be picked up in Cailen's arms, presumably so that she could be taken to the hospital. Alice didn't feel like she needed to return to the hospital, she felt fine, except for the pain in her shoulder, which probably wasn't anything serious anyway. Despite her feelings on the matter, she felt herself being taken out of Adam's apartment and set down carefully in the backseat of a car. From what she could tell, Cailen seemed very insistent on being the one to handle the situation; as if Adam so much as laid his pinky on her, it would be the end of the world. Once again, Alice felt an overwhelming guilt, if not for the horrible timing, she was about to leave that apartment and break his heart.
Lying there, she could hear Cailen mentioning something about Jack having hurt himself as well, and meeting up with he and Skylar at the hospital. This is really not anyone's lucky day.... After a few more minutes, Alice finally found herself waking up and trying to shuffle about where she was seated. Of course, this effort was hindered by the seatbelt that had been strapped around her to keep her from potentially getting more injured if there were to be some sort of accident; and judging by the speed Cailen seemed to be doing, she was glad the seatbelt was there.
"Uh... what...huh?" Alice found herself a little disoriented, especially since this had been the second time that day she lost consciousness. She half expected Cailen to pipe up with a reminder that the doctor had told her she needed to rest if she was going to allow her body to rid itself of the flu virus she had most likely contracted. If only he knew.... Unfortunately, the thought struck her that as soon as she had gotten tested much like Adam had done, that if the result was positive she was going to have to tell Cailen. What if he had been infected as well? He seemed healthy enough, but that didn't mean that the virus wasn't lying dormant at the moment. Not everyone shows symptoms right away. No... no, please don't let Cailen have it. I can't break his heart and be responsible for eventually killing him. No. No.
Coming back to the present moment, Alice looked outside of the car's window as her surroundings zipped past almost too quick for her to process them. Much like her thoughts when she tried to figure out what she was going to do next. Planning on telling Cailen that while she still loved him, she also harbored intense feelings for Adam, and actually going through with telling him were two different things. Looking up rear-view mirror, she occasionally caught a glance of him looking back at her. A bruise was already starting to surround one of his eyes, and Alice couldn't even imagine how horrible the both of them looked after their altercation. Tears filled her eyes and this time she didn't bother forcing them away; she wanted to cry. Perhaps she even needed it too. Once again she found herself entirely confused on what she was to do. While speaking with Adam, nay, while pouring her heart out to Adam, everything seemed to simple, so clear. Now they'd become cloudy, much like her vision smudged with saline.
If Cailen gave up gambling... Alice knew that was the only issue in their relationship from his side. But even if he promised her to never go near a casino again, Alice wasn't sure if she could trust him, being crushed so many times before. And would Cailen ever be able to trust her? The relationship had seemed to be unraveling, and Alice wondered if perhaps it was time to end it before their friendship disintegrated as well. But what about Adam? She told herself she would think about it later. He told her he would wait, and she would hold him to that. First they needed Bella back, then she could start figuring out what to do.
outofcharacter: *grabs rolled up newspaper* Bad Adam, bad! Stop hogging Rumply's fingers! Bella has her part of the story to get out too you know! XD And yay for that teacher, Katelyn! But boo that you had to wait so long!
PS. this song got me into such a creative mood tonight. therefore, voila~

Do you remember when we didn't care?
We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there
"Do you remember you at all?"
Another heart calls
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Jack felt like he was on a train, whizzing past everyone he ever met as they waved to him. He tried to wave back, but the force of the train was holding him still. The last face he remembered seeing was Bella's, but it morphed and changed and it was somewhere between Skylar, a demon, and Bella. He tried to yell out but his mouth wouldn't move. He could vaguely hear a voice talk to him, like it was from far away. Jack couldn't understand what was said, he just tried to figure out where he was. Once again, he saw the passing people wave to him. Finally, his lips moved and he spoke, "Bella... Bella, where are you?" His eyes suddenly opened slowly and found himself looking up at the ceiling. His lips were parted and he knew that he had just spoken out loud. He hoped it was just the dream, but he had a feeling it was not. His head still pounded, like someone had ran over it with a steam roller. He started to sit up, but the pain shot through him like a bullet. He fell back into the back seat and groaned. "...Why, why is everything going wrong today?"
Jack looked over towards Skylar with a pain, stronger than any other, in his heart. He had to tell her everything, he had to tell her what happened with Bella and why he acted so distant. But as he looked over and saw how worried she was, how much she cared about him, and knowing that she'd even cried over him, he just couldn't even fathom speaking any of it. He sat up, slowly but surely, and buckled himself in. Once again, his fingers felt stiff. The click of the buckle reminded him of the sound his head must have made against the pavement. It shot another bullet of pain up his spine and into his skull. He leaned back and bit down on his cheek and winced. "...Sky...Skylar, I..I have to tell you..." He felt another wave of nausea over come him. It was from the movement of sitting up, and the movement of the car. He reached for the window button and pushed down. But he felt too weak to even press it, his arm fell limp to his side as he swallowed saliva even when more appeared on his tongue.
"Sky..Skylar," he winced again and his hand shot up to hold onto his skull. "I...I want to... tell you something." His head started to feel heavier and heavier, he finally let his head drop backwards. His hand, he knew, he was covered in blood. "...something about Bella..." His throat felt like it was going to close up on him. He swallowed again, feeling another wave of dizziness fall upon him. But he fought it, the small dots forming in his vision every time he widened his eyes. "..I couldn't stand it if you hated me, but I'd...I'd...under...stand..." Another blackness fell over his eyes.
Jack was out cold. Again.

Perhaps much like what Cailen was feeling, Adam began to assume that the situation was all his fault. You know...if you had -very kindly- pushed Alice out of the door and closed it (even if for the time being) this wouldn't have happened...But -nooo-, you had to listen. You had to respond like I told you not to. Adam's face barely changed from it's statuesque appearance as he climbed into the backseat behind Alice and fastened his seat belt. ' Like Hell I'm not going with them.'
For the most part, Adam kept his head positioned towards the window instead of at Alice. Looking at Alice ran the risk of being glared at by Cailen, and for the time being Adam felt that they might not be on speaking terms for years to come. Another reason to go to Boston and visit your family... His parents had moved last year for business reasons...So perhaps he could ask them for a loan. That thought brought a smile to his face. ' Like they have that kind of money...' But there was another option...
Harrison.
He'd had enough visits down at Indulgence and indiscretionary stardom to warrant the man visiting his table a time or two, and he had seen his face around the lot where...where those particular movies were filmed and produced. Surely Harrison had some form of hand in the affairs, and maybe he could ask the man for a loan in exchange for another contract. ' Before word of my condition gets around too much...' Adam then remembered Alexis, and with a grumble he had to scratch that idea. ' However...maybe Harrison knows where this 'Tony' character took Bella.'
“Skylar’s on her way to the hospital with Jack. He too fell and hit his head and she’s driving him to the hospital,” Adam heard vaguely in the background. Feeling even more guilty upon hearing such news. ' We're all gonna end up dead, then, aren't we...'
"Uh... what...huh?", torn from his thoughts by the noise, Adam turned his neck to look at Alice stirring in the front seat, and allowed himself to relax his nerves. His face still appeared stoic, if not carrying underlying tones of anger, so he turned his head back to the window to keep from asking the question he felt Cailen would feel it his duty to ask. 'How are you feeling?' You know...there is the possibility that that fight made her realize what she said had been a mistake. Adam tried not to listen to that thought, but it was unavoidable. ' I know. But if she meant what she said to me, even if she doesn't leave Cailen, that would be enough for me.' Expecting an angered mental comment such as: 'thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard', Adam felt a pain in his chest upon hearing no comment at all. Surprised, Adam leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes. The coolness of the glass soothing the swollen-feeling bruize on one side of his face. Only after he had relaxed for a while, did his mental voice pop back up again.
It would be enough...enough to stay. But don't call or text Alice for a while, unless you have to. Give her space, a lot of space. Maybe in a few months, she'll have her head clear enough to be sure of her own heart. At least after that, even if she does leave Cailen right away...At least then you'll know you aren't being 'the rebound'. Six months, thats the time it usually takes for a woman to heal. So give her space for six months. With the way Adam was feeling, he did not think such a task would be as hard as he thought it was. Taking a final glance at Alice in the seat ahead of him, Adam's face appeared saddened for a moment. ' Those six months are starting now.' Looking back towards the window, Adam got out of the car when it drove in front of the hospital.
" Cailen, it would be easier for me to walk Alice inside since your driving. But I'm going to take her inside and call a cab home." Not giving Cailen a chance to debate whether or not Alice should get out of the car since they were -right- beside the door, Adam waited for the possibility that Cailen might get out of the car to carry her into the building himself and just leave the car illegaly sitting here until she was settled.
Giving Cailen time to answer, Adam wordlessly looked down after pulling his phone out of his pocket to check his own messages. There was a voicemail in his mailbox, and Adam sighed in the knowledge that it was probably ill news about Jack. ' Poor Jack. His best friend was kidnapped, and he probably blames me for it. For leaving her alone to go talk to Alice.' So far, his feelings for Alice had only made things worse and worse...Leaving was out of the question, but until the next day; when he could try and sell his new-ish car, or trade it in and get the difference in cost, then he could give Cailen almost the entire eleven grand. Maybe even more if he was lucky. Then if would be okay to visit your parents in Boston. Paul might know what to do...
Paul was Adam's elder brother, who died in the same car crash as Bella and Cailen's father. Whenever he was unsure on something big, Adam would drive to the cemetary and sit beside his grave. For some reason, it always cleared his head, like he wasn't really gone. If Adam had to make the choice of who was the next person to be in Clearview Cemetary, Adam would rather him be there than Bella. Bella probably had more to live for at the present moment. ' I wonder if Bella loves anyone. I never see her with anybody, but maybe that was it. She was in love with someone she couldn't have. Like me.'

▬▬ alice humphrey ▬▬LOVE IS LIKE A SIN, MY LOVE
FOR THE ONES THAT FEEL IT THE MOST
LOOK AT HER WITH HER EYES LIKE A FLAME
SHE WILL LOVE YOU LIKE A FLY WILL NEVER LOVE YOU
AGAIN
After finally arriving at the hospital, Alice vaguely heard Adam mention something about walking her inside. She didn't want to be at the hospital, and she also didn't want to feel as if she needed to be escorted anywhere. Now that she was awake, she convinced herself that she felt fine. She probably even had a couple ibuprofen in her purse that would take the pain out of her shoulder. Since she was able to move her arm, she at least knew it wasn't dislocated.
"I'm fine. I can go inside on my own. I need... I just need a few minutes on my own right now," although her voice had been shaky at the start of her sentence, towards the end she was able to retain a tone more solid. She wanted both Cailen and Adam to know that she meant what she had said; which she did. At the current moment she was so torn between both individuals that it was almost... painful for her to see either of them. Especially after the fight that had just occurred; because of her. Because she was the one who couldn't keep her inappropriate feelings to herself.
After walking inside of the Emergency department, instead of walking in the direction of the nurse that she had seen a few hours prior, Alice turned around to ensure that neither Cailen nor Adam were watching, and then exited the hospital via another exit so that they wouldn't see. The hospital was not where she needed to be right now. She needed some time to think, some time alone with her thoughts. An idea was stirring in her mind, not a foreign one, at that. The same thought that had been brought into her mind earlier. She was going to see Harrison. She was going to take that job. She was going to obtain the money to get Bella back, hopefully in advance and she was going to lie low for a while.
Right now she was much less concerned about her dignity. It didn't matter if she was sick, it didn't matter if it meant that Bella was going to die. Bella was seemingly perfectly healthy; and Alice could not say the same for herself. Deep down she knew that she was facing the same eventual fate as Adam, even if she had no test to prove it. She did not want to be tested, at least, not anywhere Cailen could see. She wanted to be able to tell him on her terms. Maybe it was the knowledge that there was no cure for her latest affliction, maybe it was the overwhelming guilt that she held close to her heart for what she had just witnessed; for tearing two friends apart, but Alice became a lot less concerned for her own safety.
Finally making her way to the edge of the road, she stuck her thumb out, hoping she wouldn't have to wait very long for someone to pick her up. She knew fully well that hitchhiking was incredibly dangerous, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was that she complete her "mission". It was not long before a red Toyota Prius stopped and the driver rolled down the passenger's side window. An slightly older man was seated in the driver's seat, Alice thought that he looked almost like a real life version of Homer Simpson.
"You need a ride?" he had asked her, to which she promptly nodded. The man opened the door so that she could climb into the passenger's seat of his car and began to drive off. "Y'know hitchhiking's dangerous. Where you to?"
Alice almost wanted to laugh at his comment. Of course she knew what she was doing was dangerous, but the fact of the matter was that she just didn't care. She piped up and gave the man directions to Indulgence, without bothering to tell him where it was exactly he was driving. For all she knew she'd never make the destination anyway, and that he'd take her off to some dark forest, torture and kill her.
"The Gentleman's club, eh?" the man questioned. He must have frequented that location before, but Alice wasn't too sure that she liked his tone. Yes. She was going to a strip club. She was going to attempt to get herself a job there, too. But she wouldn't be the first person who turned to such an extreme measure in a time of desperation.
"Yeah," she replied stoically.
"Now what's a pretty girl like you doing going to a place like that?"
Alice wasn't sure what came over her. Suddenly she felt the need to spill what was on her mind to this random stranger. It couldn't hurt, what was he going to do? He probably wouldn't even believe what she was saying. "Desperate times, I guess. My friend's been kidnapped because of my boyfriend's gambling problem. Owes some guy a lot of money. I'm trying to get my friend back. It's the least I can do; I've already torn apart a friendship today with this pretty face."
At that moment, they'd arrived at Indulgence. The man unlocked the passenger's side door so that she could get out of the car, but Alice saw that he was about to speak, and decided to allow him the right to do so before thanking him and jumping out of his car. "Gotta do whatcha gotta do." With that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like a few bills, and handed them to Alice. "Here, to start you off on getting your friend back." Holding the money in her hand, she wanted to return it to the man and tell him that she couldn't take his money, but the look on his face made her realize he wasn't going to accept that answer. "Thank you," Alice spoke before opening the door and climbing out of the car. After the man drove away she counted the money that he had given her - fifty dollars. That was incredibly generous of a stranger to do that for her, but nevertheless, she pocketed the money, realizing that her purse was still at Adam's apartment, and made her way inside of the club. It was not long before one of the waitresses came over in Alice's direction.
"Hey there, sweetie, can I get you a table?" the woman asked her.
Alice quickly explained that she was actually here to see the owner, Harrison. With that, the waitress smiled and said that she would go back to check and see if he was still in his office and come back to let Alice know.
outofcharacter: ALICE! >.< Ashfjshfsdk. Like an unruly child you are! It's a good thing I've become attached to you as a character, missy. XD
It's also a good thing I don't have that newspaper anymore! Haha.

______________________________________________________________________________
Skylar was trying to concentrate on two things at once. One of the items being her driving. She tried to be as careful as she could. She didn’t want to be hitting every bump and have poor Jack suffer because of it. Jack was the second thing on her mind. She kept glancing in the backseat to make sure he was alright. The drive seemed to be taking forever which just ate away at Skylar’s nerves. Why couldn’t they be there soon? The sooner she got Jack to the hospital, the sooner Sky would have a chance to think through all the things that were on her mind.
Sky felt her phone go off telling her that she received a text. There was no time to look at it now. She would just have to remember to check it after Jack was safe at the hospital. Hearing Jack stir, Sky immediately check on him in the back. He said something about Bella and once again, Sky was blown away by his concern for her even when he was barely conscious. ”Jack, please be careful. I’m taking you to the hospital so you can have your head looked at. We’re almost there.” Her eyes darted from the road to the backseat every few seconds. She was nervous about him sitting up to buckle himself in when she realized that was probably the best idea and she should have done something along those lines at the beginning.
The hospital was only a few blocks away now and she was happy that Jack was at least awake. She heard her name and she looked back at him. He was trying to tell her something and she could easily see that he was struggling to get it out. ”Jack, don’t worry about it. You can tell me later. Just concentrate on relaxing and getting better. Whatever it is, you can tell me later.” She heard him say something about her hating him and a bit of confusion hit her. Why would she hate him? She looked back at him and saw him out cold again.
Luckily, the hospital was in sight and she pulled up behind another car that was there. A car that was very familiar with two people she knew quite well. She was happy to know that Cailen and Adam were both here but she wondered where Alice was. She put the car in park and then opened the door. ”Can one of you help me get Jack inside? He’s been in and out the whole time and just recently knocked out again. I know I won’t be able to carry him myself.” She didn’t wait for one of them to agree before going to the side of the car that Jack was on and opening the door. She carefully unbuckled his seat belt and then started to try and figure out the best way to get him out of the car.
[I almost feel like I should change my layout with the way everyone else is. =P I'm also a bit nervous to be given the power of the newspaper. Must avoid the urge to hit peopel with it....
Also complete fail on my part. I edited my last post with this one...I'm sorry.]

Cailen$Legosi The ride to the hospital was a quiet one. Neither Cailen nor Adam said a word to each other, which was a given. After their scuffle, he doubted that a nice conversation was going to take place. Instead he stayed focused on the road, and occasionally looked back in the rear view mirror at Alice. When they were close to the hospital she stirred awake. Cailen was waiting for Adam to say something, but to his surprise he didn’t. As he swept a quick glance over at Adam it seemed like he was deep in thought about something. Once at the hospital Adam offered to help Alice inside. He was about to object to that, willing to risk a parking ticket, when Alice said she didn’t need help. “Alice?” he asked trying to get her to stay. After a fall like that he wasn’t willing to let her walk away all by herself. He was worried about her, after all that has happened he really didn’t want her to be on her own. But, he obligated to her statement. She needed to be alone and he could get that. He could get that she didn’t want to be pestered by him and Adam at the moment. So, trying as hard as he could, he let her go. He hoped she would do the right thing and go see a doctor. As she went out of sight he glanced over at Adam giving him a look which asked if they should go after her. He didn’t want to be the one who disobeyed her and followed her inside. That might make her mad at him for not listening. He didn’t want Adam to have that leverage over him. No. So instead he stayed right there in his car.
Cailen couldn’t stand sitting there in his car with just Adam, so he got out and leaned against his car. Then he remembered that Skylar was on her way here as well. Is she here now? He looked around to see if he saw Jack’s car. Nope, not yet. Then again, Skylar was a more careful driver than he was, so she was probably taking her time. He felt bad for her. She was probably scared. He wondered how she was able to get Jack into the car all by herself. Here he and Adam were fussing over Alice, when Skylar was left to deal with Jack all by herself. Had he known, he would have gone back to the mall and helped her out. Maybe then he wouldn’t have overheard Adam and Alice’s conversation. Then again, wouldn’t he want to know something like this? They were going to keep it from him, but for how long? Is ignorance really bliss? Would being in the dark really have been better? In the short run, not knowing would have been better because then he and Adam wouldn’t have fought and Alice wouldn’t have passed out. But in the long run, yes he would want to know. He wouldn’t want to continue going through this relationship knowing that there might be something going on between Alice and Adam.
He heard a car pulling in and saw Jack’s car. “Let me help you, Skylar” he said going to the back of the car. Jack was passed out cold and that was going to be a problem. He hoped he would have been at least half awake so they could help him walk, but now Cailen realized, he needed to be carried. Carrying Alice was one thing, but Jack was a whole different story. Not that Jack was big or anything, but he was built different then Alice and that made carrying him a little more difficult. Swinging Jack’s arms around his shoulder, he managed to keep the top half of Jack somewhat supported. “Adam or Skylar, could you help me and get his other side?” He hoped that with one of them on Jack’s right side that they could half carry and half drag Jack into the hospital, unless someone wanted to grab his feet.

 ▬▬ alexis archibald ▬▬I'M YOUR OPHELIAC; MY STALKINGS PROVE MY VIRTUE
I'M OPEN TO ATTACK; BUT I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU
WHETHER I SWIM OR SINK; THAT'S NO CONCERN OF YOURS NOW
HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY THINK? YOU HAD THE POWER TO KEEP ME BREATHING
AS THE WATER RISES UP AGAIN
BEFORE I SLIP AWAY. After leaving, no, after being forced out of Adam's apartment, Alexis decided that was the last time she attempted to do something nice. Nice was not part of her persona, but she felt she owed it to Adam to tell him her results. And it would be been fine without that little brat... that blonde b***h that Harrison seems to have such an interest in. Alexis' thoughts were dripping with jealousy. For the longest time she had her eye on Harrison, ever since she had started working for him. Not many knew about Harrison's personal life, and for all Alexis knew he was a married man with children, but that didn't stop her from hoping. Then she came to find out that he had approached Alice at the casino in order to offer her a position at Indulgence. And if to make matters worse, Alexis was then sent on an expedition to find out if she was going to make her appointment or not. Seeing her at Adam's apartment was just too much, especially after the little comment that she had made. She hoped that Alice was infected too and let out a slight laugh at the thought of it being true.
She had been on her way back to her own apartment, when she had received a text message from an unknown number, providing her with an address and instructions on what she was to do. This wasn't something unusual for her - the closer she got to Harrison, the more she found herself getting tangled up in the webs he weaved; of course, she didn't mind. She was instructed to go to the address provided and watch over the girl located there with Tony until further notice.
Tony. Alexis had come to think of the man as a brother. He also worked for Harrison and had been doing so for much longer than she. Of course, his profession was much different than hers.
Alexis hoped that whoever this girl was, that it wasn't Alice, knowing that if she had to see the blonde's face that she would probably feel the urge to stick the heel from her boot in it. Thankfully, after arriving at the specified location, Alexis saw a brunette that she had not previously seen before. In the same room, she also saw Tony seated at the table with a few other men that she vaguely recognized. Also, there was a young boy, only a few years old, maybe.
Great... it's a real damn party in here... I hate children. Alexis wondered why on earth she would need to be here, but could only assume it was that there would be some sort of female presence around the female ... hostage, or whatever this brunette was.
Walking over to Bella, she stopped in front of the girl and looked her over, her eyes saying, 'why the hell are you here'. It crossed her mind that perhaps this was another girl that Harrison had taken interest in, which did not make Alexis happy. Just the thought made her glare at Bella, angrily, before walking over to Tony to ask what was going on.
"Who's this b***h?" she asked him, only to have one of the other men scowl at her and then point in the direction of the young child who was also in the room, who could hear the profanities she was speaking. "Sorry. Who's this girl?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx doubt thou the stars on fire
doubt thou the sun doth move
doubt truth to be a liar
but never doubt ...
OOC: Dayyyyyy-um. Alexis revamped! Sexy, yet... well I wouldn't mess with her!

 ┏Tony Rizzo┓I'm ready to do what it takes to get what I want.
The only question left is: are you?
"Tony, dude, how long you think it's gunna take before we get the money?" The man with the grey goatee pulled his hat over his eyes and grimaced. "We're gettin' impatient, and I'm sure Harrison is, too." Tony rolled his eyes and shrugged, "I'm sure they're trying their hardest," The men in the room burst into laughter. "Let's give them one more day. If nothing comes to our hands, I'll kill 'er myself." He meant it, too. There was no reason to keep someone hostage if there wouldn't be anything coming in to trade. The room suddenly got quiet, until Tony smiled and the laughter broke out again. He couldn't let the group know how he truly felt. He was an angry guy, he wasn't going to let Cailen get away with stealing that easily.
Tony had been sitting with the boys for quite some time before the brunnette bombshell walked through the threshold and approached them all quite rudely. He turned and raised an eyebrow at her, then finally answered her when she had adjusted her speech. "Leverage, just a stupid kid with a problem." He shrugged, "That's his sister. Nothing new, just solving a problem." He wasn't going to give anything away, unless Harrison gave Tony the word to spread it. He picked up his lit cigarette and took a quick drag and blew it up into her face. "Why don't'cha take a load off, Kitten," He patted his lap. "Play some poker with the big boys." The rest of the guys let out a chuckle, Tony joined in with a smirk. The girl was infamous, he knew she could go either way with his proposition. He just loved ticking her off, it made her all the more attractive. He took another drag, but this time blew it down and away. If she was going to hit him, it wasn't going to be for the smoke. Although, if she were to hit him there was a shotgun hidden under the table just for such purpose. Women needed to put in their place, and Tony knew just how to do it.
He let out a sigh and folded his cards down onto the table. His mischievous eyes moved around the room and landed on Bella. He wanted to call out to her, but she seemed busy with the little boy. At least the brat had someone to talk to, Tony wasn't a fan of kids. If the kid tried to go near him, he'd pretend to be kind but on the inside his heart was black and wanted to spit in the kid's direction. He brought his eyes back to Alexis, his thoughts wavering between <********> her and shooting her in the face. He wanted to wipe that smug look off her face, in one way or another.

Skylar tried in vain to get Jack up. There was just no way that she was going to be able to do this on her own. She would if Adam and Cailen both refused to help. It was unlikely that such a thing would happen but Skylar wasn't thinking straight. She was so close to getting Jack help that she was practically shutting the outside world out.
Relief washed through her when she heard Cailen's voice. He seemed to have an easier time getting Jack out of the car then she did. "Thanks, Cailen." Of course Cailen wouldn't be able to carry Jack by himself. The instant he asked for help Skylar was there on the other side. Jack was still fairly heavy and awkward to try and carry but it was definitely easier with Cailen there.
"He's been trying to tell me something when he's awake." She wanted to tell Cailen about what Jack had said and see if he knew anything about it. "He tried to say something about Bella and then he said something about how I would hate him. Do you have an idea what he's talking about?" She hoped he would know something about it. The comment was bugging her. She looked at Jack and wished that he was better and awake to tell her this himself.
((Sorry about the shortness of this post sad ))

████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██ █ ██ █████████████
 Bella was silent as she relinquished her phone to her stone-cold captor and stepped into the backseat. having expected to be gagged and bound, just being trusted in a position where the doors were locked relieved some strain from her mind. Closing her eyes, a scene replayed in her head of a time when she was on the school bus, oh so many years ago.
" For the LAST TIME, I SAID BE QUIET BACK THERE, OR YOUR LOSING YOUR BUS RIDING PRIVILEDGES!", every day was the same on the 'special needs' bus. The boys were acting out, being abusive or gross, and shouting back at each other with a plethera of swear words. Every day the bus driver yelled the same thing, kicked a few kids off the bus for a few days, and asked the teachers to revoke whatever 'gold stars' they earned towards goodies such as: candy bars, for schoolwork completed. And like always...Bella remained silent in the seat behind the driver, her eyes staring out the window.
Sometimes, Bella had been thought to be mute for her ability to remain silent in any stressful situation. When the other boys made fun of her, she would blush or giggle innocently and walk away. Not that the words did not hurt her dearly; but, she had learned one thing from watching boys and girls being 'restrained' in the 'time out room'. Hearing scream after scream of: 'Your hurting me! Get the F*** OFF ME! ABUSE! ABUSE! GET OFFFFFFF MEEEE!'. It was: be quiet, do your schoolwork, and smile at everyone, and you'll stay out of trouble. You wont get restrained or put in the time out, you wont get that: ' What did you do now' piercing look. Years later, still the same silent girl, Bella said nothing and looked out the window. No worry or strain on her face as she admired the trees and pressed her forehead to the glass. The cold feeling against her skin invoking all the chemicals that could induce waves of comfort to flow through her body. ' I'm all grown up now...the boys still fight and swear and scream...You be quiet, and do what your told, and smile, and everything will be okay.' With that Bella closed her golden-chocolate eyes, and blocked out the world.
~
Dismounting the car, unintentionally dozing off into a quiet slumber for the end portion of the drive, Bella silently followed Tony into the building and sat on the couch like he directed her too. The scent of cigar smoke radiated from an adjecent room; accompanied with the sound of laughter and the 'tink' of chips hitting the table. To be honest, Bella was quite surprised to be in a lounge at the present moment. She had expected a dank celler with moss coating the walls, not a lavish display. with a grumble, Bella said nothing and studied the room. ' Oh I'm sure there's a basement in this place that they'll put me in later. Tied in a chair with my mouth bound and gagged.', Expecting the worst, Bella clutched her little teddy bear: Toby, to her chest and absentmindedly combed her fingers through it's hair.
Snapping out of her 'world' at the sound of approaching footsteps, Bella turned to see a little boy staring up into her face. Catching his bright blue eyes, the boy nearly blushed and giggled. ' Is there a stain on my shirt or something?' As ironic as it was for a pregnant woman, Bella had almost no interaction with little kids. As cute as he was, it was like staring at a puppy who wanted love and affection...when your a cat person. He was foreign, and she didn't know what made a child 'tick'. The boy didn't give her time to make that inquisitive expression.
"Your really pretty.", The boy's blush deepened and he hid it by cutely burrying his face in the side of the couch. Only his eyes and up not being pressed into the fabric.Oh...how cute. '', Blushing innocently herself at the comment, Bella clutched the teddy bear tighter to her chest as if doing so would make her blush seem less embarrassing. The little boy blushed more upon seeing Bella's blush, and giggled like flower did after Bambi called him 'flower'. Oh he can call me pretty is he wants too... Bella giggled herself, and for a few moments there was an awkward silence before the boy hopped up on the couch to sit on Bella's lap and cushion his head against her chest. Nuzzling slightly upon smelling Bella's natural cinnamon-like scent.
" You smell pretty toos...", Bella's blush took over the entirety of her face. ' What do I do? What do I DO?', Looking around for help, Bella remembered the way she had been holding the teddy bear, and just raised her right hand to comb her fingers through his hair. The boy seemed to like this greatly, and showed so by nuzzling his little nose inbetween her flannel-covered breasts. Appearantly the boy wanted mothering, and he expressed that desire by asking little things such as: 'Scratch harder' or 'up more' before adding 'that feels nice'. Oddly comforted herself through the action, Bella could not help but wonder if this was how it was going to feel like when she did this with her little child. If she lived through this... Sad as it was to admit to herself, Holding this little boy beside her might be the only mothering experience she would ever be able to do if Cailen couldn't get the money.
Eventually the little boy opened his mouth and initiated a conversation. They talked about his preschool, his teacher, his classmates, and how he liked reading books and coloring with his fingers. ' I think he means the word: painting.' After the longest time, the door opened and a brunette woman walzed into the room with an irritated look splashed upon her face. From years of being systematically teased as a small girl, Bella would recognize the 'stink eye' anywhere. This woman did not like Bella, and her animalistic urges to defend herself began to spike her adrenaline and make her grow worried. ' Things were going great, I was being quiet! Why doesn't she like me?' Seeing Alexis walk into the other room with a 'stomp' to her step, Bella allowed her nerves to ease a bit before the little boy named: Ronald, hopped off her lap to grab a pair of headphones attached to an ipod. Unplugging the headphones (smart for his age) the little boy plugged the ipod into the easy stereo system nearby so that the machine would play tunes from the ipod.
Turning around with puppy dog eyes, Ronald looked like he was going to get on his knees and beg if she even dared say no to him. His paper heart so fragile at this age.
" Will you dance with me? You can pick the sawng...", Unknowningly winning some sort of preferance contest, Ronald wanted to know if Bella could dance like the other 'friends' he got to play with could. Unaware to him, Bella could dance. When she was just his age she began her ballerina lessons, and tap dance lessons after that. At night she used to sneak out to the playground and twirl her body around the poles. Sliding down until she hit the ground with her CD player in her hand and headphones attached to her head. However, her 'secret' dancing days were over when her father passed away. She hadn't danced in public since, and gave up her passionate hobby to pursue photography. Something her father would have approved of because it had a longer 'shelf life'. Being asked by that sweet, innocent, little boy though...looking as though he was about to cry...How could bella refuse?
Spending a few minutes pouring through the songs on Ronald's ipod, most of them were foreign and unframiliar until she came to one particular song that forced the color to drain from her face. Baby baby, by Amy Grant.
~
Six years old and wearing her daddy's T shirt, Bella and her father had danced to that song all afternoon. Not ashamed to sing or dance in front of her father, Bella's father had poorly sung along as she stood on his feet, being twirled around on her daddy's toes. Her giggle permeating the atmosphere, she hadn't a care in the world. She had even sang along and twirled over the coffee table. So happy because Daddy was there, and he was happy to see her. Happy to see his little Belle smiling up at him with her innocent smile.
~
Snapping back into reality, Bella knew that this was the only song her weak voice could sound beautiful too. ' If your all I can have little Ron, then I can dance with you too.', Nodding just to see Ronald's smiling face burst with sunshine, Bella took a final glance towards the other room. Pleased that they were too concerned with their pokar game to give her any attention. There had been a 'no kids allowed' vibe all evening emenating from that cigar-laden table, so that was probably the reason they had not bothered to do more than glance at her from time to time. For the moment she was being useful and distracting the munchkin. ' If I keep worrying about being watched, I'll never be able to sing or dance ever again...Dad wouldn't have wanted that.' If Bella was going to go, she was going to dance one last time. She could do that for their father, and she could do that for herself.
Plugging in the ipod, Bella closed her eyes when the music started. Already in tune with the beat, Bella slowly began to curve her body to the music. Where some women jerked while dancing, Bella glided through the air like a butter knife. Twirling her body to the music, Bella's pretty mouth moved along with the words, her eyes catching little Ronalds as she started to dedicate her moves to him. Pointing at him then doing a 'come hither' motion with her finger while singing:
" Baby baby,", She walked backwards and bent low to see the little boy eye-to-eye, unintentionally showing more cleavage than she ever meant to express to the world. " I'm taken with the noooOo-tion..." She smiled her hundred watt sunshine smile, that broadened into a grin when Ronald's eyes welled up with joy and his face reddened into a scarlet blush. Seeing him covering his face with his hands was just too adorable not to let go of her 'shell' and dance unrestrained. Forgetting there were other people in the room, she took his hand and twirled him around in her arms.
" To love you with the sweeetest of devoOah-tions.", She twirled once more and set him down to continue dancing. " Baby baby, my tender love will flow-oah from...", reaching up towards the heavens, it was if there were hands running down her body guiding her every move. No longer was Bella in a lounge next to potential mobsters. Oh no, she was back at the playground taking a moonlit walk with her cd player. Dancing along to the beat as freely as if no one else was in the room. She was free, and she glided through the air like an uncaged bird.
" The bluest sky-y to the deeepest O-oa-cean;", She shot her hand out towards Ronald as if she was dancing to the song: 'Stop! in the name of love' while shaking her hips suggestively to the beat.
" Stop! For a minute...Baby..." She half smirked, half grinned at little Ronald, who stood frozen like a zombie with a gaping mouth. " I'm so glad your mine" Bella had raised her hands mid-sentence and rubbed them down her body; lost in the music. " Yeah..." Returning from the dream world only for a second in remembrance that she had a miniature audience, Bella slowly opened her hazy eyes and smiled with an innocent wink and smile. " Your mine..." She hurriedly pointed at Ronald to match the quick way Amy grant said the words.
Reaching back up to the heavens while swaying her body like a reed gently tossed about by the wind, she closed her eyes and re-entered her dream world. Once more pretending she was a graceful dancer on stage for the entire assembly, dancing under the park street-light as if it was a spotlight showing her off.
Unaware to Bella, the lights actually had dimmed.
" Baby baby, the stars are shining for-oahr you~" Being close to the wall at this particular point, Bella was in her 'dance mode' and pushed her back up against the wall as, nay; grinding against the wall. " And -just- like me I'm sure that they adooraaa you." Sliding down a few inches before sliding her body up the wall, her shoulders rolling back to unintentionally draw attention to her chest. In the process, her hair wildly tangled from the motion.
" Baby baby, ", She had her eyes closed and aimlessly pointed towards the direction her equalibrium thought Ronald was, her body grinding down the wall slightly as she mouthed the words with pouty lips. The exercise and hint of sweat tiring out her voice in a lazy way, a sexy way, an anti-bella way. Her hands running down her body, she rubbed down to the inside of her hip bones, unintentionally motioning towards her crotch as she swayed her hips foward a little. Once more a reed in the breeze. " Go walking through a forr-uh-uhest" Her hands near her crotch did nothing to keep any spectator's mind from thinking pure at the thought of 'forest', except for Ronald of course, who was only looking at dance moves. Curling on her right toe in the grace and poise expected of a pop-singing ballerina, she half-twirled in such a way while whirling her hand in a coy little circle, once more reaching towards the ceiling.
" The BIRDS above a' singing", her pretty face sang that favored line in ecstacy, as if she was a' singing from an entirely different pleasure than having a love of dance. " you a chor-uh-uh-us" Rocking her hips forward once suggestively, her bust moving from the movement, her right hand running down her body brought that out as she moved her body in unison to the beat. The buttons of her flannel top having come half undone from dancing already, and her white undershirt now lifted up to show off her trim belly from bending low to hurriedly turn and unknowingly strut out her bust. She hurriedly ended the graceful move by shoving her right hand forward towards where she 'thought' Ronald was in a 'Stop! in the name of Love' motion again.
"Stop! For a minute...Baby...They're so glad your mi-uh-ine.", Gliding about the living room-like lounge, Bella raised her hands behind her head, ruffling her sexy hair even more as the locks draped over her bodice like a teasing curtain. " And ever since the day; You-uah, put my heart in Mo-oa-tion " Bella's spine had been bending as she gently belted out the lyrics, her spreading arms strut out her chest and pushed her bust in such a way that had the remaining buttons of her flannel top cried out in pain, threatening to snap off. At the word: Motion, occuring in the same moment, Bella thrusted her hips foward with her thighs parted in unison to the syllables of the word.
Without thinking about it, Bella saw through her half-open, heated, eyes enough to see the pole in the room nearby. Remembering all those years at the playground, not having many friends, (before meeting Alice of course)...Those days where she twirled her body around the 'pole' attached to the basketball hoop or jungle gym until she slid down to the ground. Acting on impulse, Bella sensually wrapped her right leg around the pole and slid down as she sung the next lyric: " Baby, I realize (that) there's just no getting ov-ER you!" half sitting-half squatting on the ground with the silver pole in-between her legs, Bella rubbed her body up against the metal. Grinding the area between her breasts and between her legs against the pole as she raised her body up hungrily and clawed her hands against the metal as if she was desperate for the touch of the cool metal against her skin. As her voice ended that lyric with an almost orgasmic expression of ecstacy on her face, suddenly: the music ended, and Bella snapped out of her dream world to realize that she had just danced in a room with like, ten people. Dancing in that way in front of a five-year-old child. As if the clock had struck midnight and her magical gown had disappeared. The spell was over, and Bella's face reddened and paled over in fear-induced nausea. ' Oh God...Oh...no...' With a shaking head, Bella looked up to see a man in his forties standing beside Ronald with one hand covering Ronald's eyes, and the other holding a briefcase-looking bag in front of his groin. ' Oh GOD! WHO ELSE SAW ME?!' bella wanted to turn her head to see if she had an audience, but for some reason she couldn't move her head. Like a deer staring into headlights.
Whoever the man was, the man was stunned speechless, and kept gazing his eyes over her body like he was the spoon and Bella was a dish of ice cream. It was so intense that Bella remained frozen solid, unable to speak. Completely unaware that the man she was staring at was none other than the man responsible for both her and Cailen's fate.
She was staring at Harrison...and he liked what he saw.
