Terrance and Isaac both seemed to lock eyes for a second when Helene locked arms with both of them. Lightning seemed to jump between their eyes. It seemed that both wanted the same thing, and neither were willing to give up on their same goal. [color=lightseagreen]“Well, lets get this show on the road then!”[/color] And the trio were hurried to the car, and began to cruise the northern side of the town. Terrance couldn’t help but to be a little bit no edge as they visited so many scenic destinations on the north side of town. For some reason, it left a sour taste in his mouth. He wanted to experience seeing these sights alone with Helene for her first time. It bummed out Terrance that he was having to share this moment with Isaac. But why did it matter so much to him? He was just using her until he was done with her. Then he would move on to the next girl, and the natural cycle would continue. It just so happened that he wasn’t done yet with Helene.

Arthur seemed a little anxious still at her statement. Carlton? He hadn’t believed his father had ever gone there before. Both his parents were from Sweden, and only moved to the United States when the Patrone family moved to expand in the USA. Carlton didn’t sound familiar to any documents that Noah kept. So it was slightly reassuring. Besides, plenty of people on the planet had blond hair and blue eyes. Perhaps it was the long hair that seemed to worry him. But it was more common for girls to wear long hair than men. Her last statement hit Arthur like a dagger to his chest. Why didn’t they want her? He could feel his heart welling up in his chest and he held her even tighter. He took a deep breath, continuing to pet her hair. [color=dodgerblue]“I want you, Eva.”[/color] He wasn’t sure how to comfort her, so he just continued to hold her tight and pet her hair. He couldn’t imagine someone not wanting a daughter like Eva. She was perfect in so many ways. Oh well, their loss is his gain.

[center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center]
[color=teal]“I promise, only after death will I ever leave your side, Alyssa.”[/color] Jacob grinned wildly before passionately kissing back Alyssa. He felt like he could survive a bomb dropping on him, he was so full of energy at this moment. [color=teal]“I’d stay, but I don’t want to wake your parents… So I guess I’ll just see you on campus again tomorrow. My sweet girlfriend.”[/color] He smiled blissfully at the ability to call her that again.

[center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center]
While Eva continued to sleep on the bed, Arthur stood up and quickly got dressed. He could let her sleep in for a few more minutes. He could see where teardrops had dried on her cheeks from crying the night before, and it made his heart ache. But first he needed to clear something up. Descending the stairs into the kitchen, Arthur found his mother, Alyssa, preparing a simple breakfast. [color=gold]“Good morning, Arthur. You are up earlier than normal. Where is Eva?”[/color] She continued to focus on the eggs frying on the stovetop.

[color=dodgerblue]“Mom… Do you know why Alexander’s parents have been gone so long?”[/color] Alyssa seemed to slow down on her cooking movements as she thought for a while on what the correct thing to say was.

[color=gold]“If love could be measurable, then I would say they loved each other more than anything else in the world. And they showed it. I don’t think they would trade each other for anything. They have been that way since they first started dating, while we were all still in Sweden. Their love for one another is greater than anything in this world. With that said, They don’t truly care for anything else beyond themselves and… well… I don’t think that Alexander ever stood a chance to truly gain their love.”[/color] Arthur’s mom seemed to start to trail off there. Was that why Alexander was so obsessed with finding someone to love? That his own life had been so devoid of love from his own parents, that he needed to find his own? Perhaps Alexander just wanted to find someone who made him as happy as his parents make each other. Love really turned people crazy, it seemed… But Arthur didn’t ponder on it too long, as it was primarily Alexander’s problem, and he would have to find a solution on his own…

[center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center]
[color=lightblue]“Alright Jacob, don’t act weird. We gotta make everything seem normal.”[/color] Tuesday morning, the duo waited in Terrance’s car in the driveway to the Davids’ household. They were preparing to pick up Alexander. It has been over 5 years since he had last seen his parents, and always around his birthday, it seemed that Alexander could become exceptionally manic-depressive. Terrance honked his horn a few times, trying to catch the attention of their caramel-eyed friend. He hadn’t even woken up for the morning until he heard the honking of his friends. His eyes were still dull in color, and no grin graced his lips, as he sluggishly moved out of bed, dressed, gathered his backpack, and a separate bag for lunch. But once the door opened, and Alexander spotted his friends, he quickly threw on a smile, and his eyes lit up. [color=khaki]“Good morning guys! Ready for class? God, I’m ready for the weekend…”[/color] Alexander’s smile only slightly waivered at the statement, as if remembering his upcoming birthday.

[color=lightblue]“Yeah, well school always sucks. Let’s make it through the day and maybe we can do something fun after class. It is still pretty warm, maybe we can make a quick trip to the beach? You like the beach, Alex!”[/color] Alexander’s eyes lit up quickly and he nodded to his friends jovially. Arriving on campus, Alex seemed to have a skip to his step. So far so good, Jacob and Terrance determined, watching their naturally hyper friend. They were going to have to treed carefully, because the smallest negative shift could push him over the edge. [color=khaki]“Arthur! Jacob and Terrance suggested going to the beach after class. We should definitely go!”[/color] His caramel eyes darted to Eva, who was standing right by Arthur’s side and holding his hand. It seemed that this was going to be the norm for a while. [color=khaki]“You should see if your friends want to join us… It would be amazing to see Gigi in a swimsuit!”[/color] Alexander smiled blissfully, rocking back and forth on his feet. [color=khaki]“Do you know if she is here today? I have a gift for her.”[/color] Alexander held up the Tupperware package he had brought with him today. Arthur raised an eyebrow, looking at the mysterious package and just shook his head at his friend, signally that he hadn’t seen Gigi. [color=dodgerblue]“We just got here not that long ago…”[/color]
