Alexander sat up quickly, his eyebrows practically flying upwards off his face.  Oh shit, she was coming? He sprang up to his feet and scanned the living room. There were a few scattered articles of clothing, a few empty soda cans, napkins, crumbs, the like. Alexander flew around the room, folding up blankets to throw over the couch, fluffing up the pillows, and picking up the trash. He had to continue the appearance that some adult presence was in the house maintaining cleanliness. While passing through the kitchen to throw out trash, Alexander’s eyes landed on the whiteboard with its written message. He couldn’t leave that out in the open. Alexander grabbed up a couple papers, one a Chinese take out menu and the other a school newsletter for an upcoming masquerade ball and put them over the whiteboard with magnets. Alexander’s eyes looked over the brochure for the masquerade ball and rubbed his chin. Hm, that could be interesting? It was going to be Friday night. A fun conglomerate “get to know you” dance for Freshmen to start intermingling with upperclassmen. Administration must have thought Freshmen would feel less intimidated to talk to others if they hid behind a mask. Alexander took a picture of it and sent it to Jacob, Arthur, and Terrance. [color=khaki][i]Thinking of going?[/i][/color] Jacob almost immediately responded with a yes, forwarding the picture to Alyssa as well. 

Alexander had been so busy cleaning up, he finally saw Gigi’s last message, and his face paled slightly. A scary movie? Oh God, please, no. Alexander gulped and tucked his phone away, moving out into the living room again. Peering under the TV stand, there were several columns of movie DVDs, plenty of Rom Coms, Action, Dramas, and… Horror. Alexander’s eyes waivered looking of the titles, his vision feeling blurry. Alexander had never been able to handle scary movies. Which sucked considering Terrance took almost every opportunity to go to scary movie premiers with dates. It was a good way to get girls to cling to you and burry their faces in your arm or chest. But Terrance had to stop bringing Alexander because… well, he did the exact same thing. Would jump, yelp, and then burry his face in whichever poor soul got stuck beside him, usually Terrance unfortunately. Alexander couldn’t handle it, jump scares, blood curdling screams, violence. In fact, the last time Alexander watched a scary movie, he had to sleep over at Jacob’s, because he couldn’t be alone in his house. He also had to keep a lamp light on, because if he closed his eyes in the darkness, Alexander [i]knew[/i] some demon creature spawn would jump out of the closet and attack him. The bell rang and Alexander sprang to his feet, and let out a scream already. Not very promising for how the rest of the night would transpire. Tiptoeing his way to the door, he glanced through the peep hole and saw Gigi on the other side. Damn, he was already getting jittery. Taking in a deep breath to compose himself, he opened the door, bright eyed and smiling as usual. [color=khaki]“Gigi! Come on in. I haven’t had a chance to pick out a movie yet… but let me know what you think of my selection under the TV.”[/color] Alexander closed the door back, putting too much thought into locking the door before following her to the TV stand. His let out a nervous laugh, watching Gigi glance over the scary movies and rubbing the back of his neck.

Terrance’s eyes stayed locked on the horizon as the sun slowly disappeared. It was calming really, watching the water move, as he listened to Helene. Easy? Yeah, it used to be a lot easier and a lot simpler. They both knew what they wanted, and both could provide that something for each other. A pretty normal and easy deal for Terrance. But, what he hadn’t been planning on was catching such strong feelings. Now it wasn’t just about hooking up with Helene. It was making sure that she wasn’t hooking up with others. Was he a hypocrite then? For being upset at the idea of Helene hooking up with other guys, while he had already hooked up with other girls? The guilt weighed heavier on Terrance’s mind and he kept his eyes on the horizon. But then she hit him with the, [color=lightsalmon]”You can’t apologize for hurting me because we aren’t anything to each other. We’re not in a relationship, we aren’t even lovers. We’re just… nothing. Purely physical. So why would you be sorry for hurting me?”[/color] For some reason that hurt Terrance more than anything. Did that mean Helene didn’t feel the same way about him? Perhaps he wasn’t apologizing for hurting Helene now. Perhaps his subconscious was apologizing to himself for letting his emotions have the best of him, and getting himself hurt. Terrance sighed heavily, shaking his head in disappointment. Terrance was truly at a loss of words and wasn’t sure how to continue. He couldn’t express the fact he caught feelings for Helene when she obviously didn’t feel the same way. Purely physical, that was what she said. And that is what they had initially agreed on.

Purely physical… [color=lightblue]“I guess I’m sorry for… being a hypocrite. I also shouldn’t have intervened between you and Isaac, so I guess I’m sorry for scaring him off from you. I just want-”[/color] Terrance cut himself short and rubbed the back of his neck. He had often heard that apologies and forgiveness was supposed to make one feel better, but somehow Terrance felt even worse than before. He couldn’t tell Helene that he wanted something more with her. It was obvious the conversation had turned down a road Terrance didn’t want to travel, but he couldn’t force Helene to like him if she didn’t. 

Purely physical. [color=lightblue]“I just want you to know I’m sorry for being an asshole to you. You don’t deserve that. And I don’t need Isaac’s dad to tell me to clean up my act, and man up. So… I guess that is what I wanted to say.”[/color] Was Isaac right, in the end? Had Terrance fucked up so hard that Helene wouldn’t want anything to do with him anymore? His hands shaking slightly, he took a deep breath. [color=lightblue]“I understand if you are done with having me around after what happened yesterday, so…”[/color] His jaw tensed, as to avoid letting any other words escape. Terrance looked over at Helene, but still couldn’t see her reaction. Though his eyes had been adjusting to the dark, he could just see the outline of her face and her hair. Even as a silhouette he felt his heart tense up from her elegance. He wanted her bad, but it seemed hopeless. He didn’t want to let her go, but he felt as if he couldn’t keep a grip on her.

Purely physical. Damn, who knew two little words could cut deeper than sword?

[color=dodgerblue]“Since when did I have a godfather?”[/color] Arthur asked, lifting his eyes from the message from Alexander. A dance? Perhaps Eva would like that- Oh shit. Arthur felt his face pale slightly, and a few beads of sweat gather at the base of his hairline. Eva’s mother was dead, and she had no idea. News would probably be pouncing on that information by tomorrow morning, even perhaps as early as tonight. He needed to go see her, right now, and Arthur pulled off his jacket, taking off his shoulder straps and gun. [color=steelblue]“That is because you haven’t seen him since you were a baby, and you couldn’t leave your mom’s arms without crying.”[/color] Noah laughed heartily as Arthur rushed to throw on his jacket. Noah raised an eyebrow at Arthur’s sudden shift from serious to frantic bustle. [color=steelblue]“Where are you off to in a hurry? If he really is in town, I would think he’d be here in any moment. He would love to see you- and how much you’ve grown and taken on the true Myles family name.”[/color] Arthur just shook his head.

[color=dodgerblue]“Jacob needs me. Says it is important. Don’t wait up for me.”[/color] And with a flash Arthur was out the door and in his Volvo heading towards Alyssa’s. He shot a text to Eva, [color=dodgerblue][i]On my way.[/i][/color] Seeing Eva’s name at the top of the screen seemed to melt away Arthur’s cold and serious demeanor. How was she so able to cause such a powerful mood switch within him? He put his phone down and started on the commute. He looked at his radio for a second, tapping the steering wheel nervously. But before he could think on it, he clicked it on and switched it to a local new station. [i]… found dead in her own home. Authorities were reported to the scene after neighbors called in. Close neighbors found it suspicious that Mrs. Esparanza’s front door had been left open late at night. And the sight found was more than the neighbors could take. So far, there are no suspects and authorities are trying to get in touch with both Esparanza’s husband, Marshall Grant, and daughter, Evangeline Esparanza. As for traffic tonight-[/i] Click. Arthur felt sick to his stomach. At least it wasn’t nearly as bad as the sickness he would feel if he had been the one to pull the trigger. He may have enjoyed it in the moment, but how would he be feeling now? Pulling into Alyssa’s driveway and knocking at the door, Arthur felt tense and nervous. Should he say something to Eva, or let her find out on her own? How would she handle the news?

His heart sank in his chest. Would she cry? He couldn’t bear seeing her cry like she had the other night, over her real father and mother not ‘loving’ her. God, why is their world so fucked up? And if that was Arthur's 'Godfather that took at Evelyn... why?
