Jasper, in the haze of his pounding headache, felt someone behind him. He glanced back, and sure enough, there was Seth. He walked a little farther, making sure she was following him. He stopped, and turned, walking up to her. "Explain why you are following me?" He was getting irratated, and he wanted to get home. He was only three houses from his, but first he had to get rid of Seth.

((Short. DDD: Seriously, sorry.))

Seth resisted taking a step back as he approached in reaction to the anger she sensed- which was odd, since Jasper was hard to irritate.
"What's wrong?" She asked quietly. "You were acting weird back at the parlour." She stood barely two feet away from him, backlit by the setting sun. Her young face held a serious ex
pression that betrayed a hint of concern. Where had Jasper been in the first place?

Jasper sighed, letting ihs anger go. Now he just felt miserable. "Nothing, Seth. I have the mother of all headaches, and I was reminded of something horrific." He turned and kept walking, his headache worsening as he thought about that memory. About what that stupid island caused. He fought tears, adn the urge to run. If he ran, Seth might really get a bad idea about what happened.

((Shortness too. ;c Not much you can say.))

Seth didn't hesitate before half-jogging, half-walking after him. She tried to match his stride. He's going home to suffer that alone? It'll only get worse... She frowned before speaking. "...I still have some tea bags in my school bag. Chai. Besides," She tilted her head back so she was staring at the bloody sky. The light brought out shades of red in her dark hair. "you need a distraction."

((I know, right? D:))

Jasper sighed, not wanting to fight with Seth, even if he had the strength. "Fine." He reached his house, and took notice of the sky. It was beautiful, yet so painful. He dug in his pocket to find his key. Unlocking the door, he pushed his way inside, where he was greeted with a cool breeze. The house was dim, and he flipped on a light. He muttered something about homework, and immediately headed for his medicine cabinet. He had a ton of meds for something different, so his mom had given him a seperate cabinet just for him. He grabbed two Tylenol and one Ibprofen. He closed the door, and saw himself in the mirror. His hair was ruffled from being on the boat, his eyes saggy and tired. I look a mess, he thought, cutting on the light and heading to the kitchen, pills clutched in his hands.

Seth smiled, glad he had caved. If he had told her one more time to leave, she would have. She followed him closely, a shiver running up her spine as she was confronted with the cold result of air conditioning. Everything around her was just dark shapes and heaps until Jasper flicked on the light.
She had never been in his house before, even if they had been friends for a while. She took a moment to appreciate- and memorize- her surroundings, in case she needed to get out quickly. Just another weird habit of hers, etched into her mind by dark memories.

"There's no one else in the house?" She asked as she dragged the tea pot over and got out a few bags of chai tea from her school bag. She didn't mention 'parents' or anything of the like, in case he didn't have any. Who knew? Maybe he lived alone.
Checking that there was water in the kettle, she pressed a pale finger down on the button and leaned against the counter, waiting for the water to boil. It would shut off by itself.

Jasper shook his head. "Not at the moment. Parentals are at work, won't get home until about 7 or 8, depending. Plus, I move out in another year." He ran a hand through his hair, and noticed how dingy his clothes were from the outing to the island. He looked up at Seth, then said, "Be back in a minute." He disappeared into the shadows, heading towards his room. Once there, he went through his clothes until he found his most comfortable pants, that he always wore when he had a headache. Oddly, they always cheered him up. He put them on, and then put on a plain white t-shirt. He headed back to the kitchen, where Seth was at.

He made his way to the cabinet, pulling out two mugs. He handed one to Seth, for her tea, and then went to the sink with his. He filled in with water, and chased down the pills. He drank the remaining of the water, then settled himself at the table, rubbing his temples. Without looking up he said, "Remind me why you in here again?"

Seth heard the click and felt the steam from the kettle. She grabbed the handle and, after dropping a tea bag in each mug, filled them with the steaming liquid. She took a seat beside him and slid the mug over.
"Because if you were left alone, your headache would just get worse, and you would keep thinking about whatever awful thing you remembered." She crossed her legs and blew at her tea, sending a puff of steam saiing forward. "My job is to distract you."

In reality, she had no idea what to do to get his mind off it. So, she asked the first thing that came to mind. "How long have you known Lafayette?"

Jasper chuckled weakly and breathed in the hot air from the tea. "I've known him since we were born. Literally. Born in the same hospital, same day." The events that took place today wen through his head. He made new friends, went to the ice cream parlor, went to a horrible island with a girl, and is now ending his day with Seth, drinking tea. What a life, he thought, sighing and leaning in his chair. His headache wasn't improving, and he went to get another Ibprofen. As he sat back down his gave a slight smile. "Four's the charm."

Seth tipped her mug back so the scalding liquid touched her lips, gauging the temperate, and took a swig of it even though it was much too warm. It burned her tongue and throat satisfyingly. It reminded her of the burning sensation of vodka, actually.
"That's a lie, it's three." She remarked accusingly, a half-smile lighting her features. "But I won't stop you. I was the one wasting myself on vodka last night." She shrugged. "I'm guessing you've had some before. Ever tried flavoured? Don't."

Jasper decided to try and convince her of something. His face grew even more serious, and he told her, "I've tried it all. Voda, Beer, Wine, Pot, Crank, name it and I've done it." He studied her face, his eyes big and sincere, trying to make her believe he actually did that. But of course he hadn't, ever. Jasper made sure to avoid alcohol and drugs, he had seen the effects first hand and they still remained burned into his memory. He blew gently over his tea, then took a sip. The warmth was welcoming, and he hoped it would help his head. Unfortunately, the next sip he took made his head explode in pain. He winced, got up and dumped the rest of his tea down the drain. He finished through his fridge, taking out a water bottle filled with dark liquid. He drank some of it, made a face like someone had punched him, then sat back down, placing the bottle on the table.

Seth's reddish eyes widened at his confession. "Really?" She said, already completely trusting in his lie. She folded her arms on the table and watched with concern as he got up and brought back some dark liquid in a water bottle. Her brow furrowed. The tea didn't help. She realized.
"Should I leave?" She asked with depressing honesty, but she didn't sound offended or anything of the kind when she spoke. In fact, her voice held an edge of guilt. "I'm just making things worse."

Jasper stared at her, then chuckled. "Either you are a gullible person, or I'm a great actor." He took another swig of the dark liquid, then frowned. "Nah, stay. I'd die of boredom plus acheyness without someone to whine too." He looked at Seth's face, seeing it was extremely depressed looking, and sort of guilty. "Hey, calm down. You look so depressed." He said this gently, not wanting to come off sounding rude or haughty.

Seth blinked, then recoiled as she realized she had been tricked. Her cheeks flushed. "Neither." She grumbled. "What if I said I was playing along?" She maintained her serious ex
pression, but her eyes betrayed a playful attitude.

Her eyes closed for a moment, then opened again. She looked a bit more weary than before but her eyes still had some life in them. "It's nothing. It's just that whenever I try to help someone, it goes wrong. I'm like a bad luck charm." She offered a smile, as if to show that she didn't mind. Which she didn't- mostly. She had gotten over it. There had to be some people in the world like that, didn't there?

"If you say it's not true I'll sock you." She added threateningly, arching an eyebrow. Jasper himself was there on many occasions where she had caused explosions, mudslides, and even gotten people sick before.

"Then you'd be lying." He said, the same ex
pression on his face. He smirked, leaning back in his chair. "And guess what. It's not true." He waited for Seth to swing, she usually did what she said she would.

Jasper put his head on the table, drinking once again. The dark liquid always made him feel better, but he had no clue what it was. At all. He stared at the finished wood, lost in his thoughts. His headache had improved slightly, but worsened when that dark day came back over him. He remembered everything vividly, and blinked rapidly, trying to hide the tears but failing. He quickly wiped them away, not wanting Seth to notice, though she probably did.

Jasper looked up slightly from where his head was resting, and saw Seth was trying to hide that she was bothered that when she tried to help others it didn't always work out.

((Hm...nobody else has replied for a while. D:))

Sara and Kiana flew home and crashed on the roof. Sara had crashed due to a duck randomly coming right in front of her causing her to swerve. Kiana had crashed because she tried to keep Sara from crashing.

Sara rubbed her head as she felt a trickle of blood come from somewhere near her forehead. Kiana had a look of surprise on her face due to Sara's injury. They jumped from their roof and walked into their house.

Kiana treated Sara's wound and they both started laughing. They had just realized how funny that moment was. Kiana fell to the floor because she was laughing so hard, and Sara was leaning on the counter coughing because of her asthma.




What the Hello Kitty! Holy Shiitake Mushrooms! -Ah, the many gurbled words of Sara... -Oh, join this rp... http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/games/rp/we-were-meant-to-be-but-i-just-can-039-t-do-it-/~page/1/

Seth leaned forward, fist co.cked back, ready to pack a hard one into his shoulder. Just as she swung forward, she saw a tear streak down Jasper's cheek. Her blood turned to ice for a moment.
She wasn't breathing by the time her curled hand connected with his shoulder. It wasn't even a real punch- more of a weak tap. Her eyes were wide and staring. Jasper's crying. She told herself. He's crying. Her friend was shedding tears- of pain? Or of something else? Anger? Sadness?
She didn't break her gaze at him, and when he glanced up at her, her suspicions were confirmed. She could see his face clearly.

"Jasper, what's wrong?" She said, eyes widening further. Her voice was void of all joking traces- she was in full concern mode.
