West of Somewhere: CANCELLED (explanation inside)

[Karasu20]

Wow it feels so great to finally post a story here. Ever since i got the sims 3 i've been wanting to write a story. I think i went through like 8 different ideas/casts of characters before finally settling on one. Also now that poses are here, it makes life easier =).

This is a story set in the fictional city of Hillwood,California. Which is a little bit west of L.A.(hence the name). It follows the lives of a group of teenagers navigating their way through life.

I get inspiration from many teen dramas so if you see that i'm copying them a bit, I apologize (like the theme song is the same as south of nowhere). Also this first chapter might look kinda generic(i.e. teenagers partying),but trust me the story won't be like this at all. This episode is mainly just to introduce everyone.

Anyway.... here it is
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 1 "poster":http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-211-1.jpg


Opening:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KAGNL7x2E4

Characters:

Raina Loukas(standing girl in red): 15 years old,10th grade. A sweet girl who is the voice of reason in the group.

Jace Loukas(guy in blue): 16 years old, 10th grade. Star soccer player and honor student. Jace is the guy everyone wants to be. He is also the object of many girl’s desires.

Jonny Tresier(guy sitting next to Raina): 15 years old, 10th grade. Jill’s older brother by 2 minutes. He may seem like the lazy goofball, but when someone needs him he will always be there.

Jill Tresier:15 years old, 10th grade. An aspiring painter/film-maker. Caleb's "partner in crime"

Esther Tresier: 14 years old, 9th grade. A crazy girl who finds fun wherever she goes. Sometimes she gets a little too annoying.

16 year old Jace has been spending his summer exactly like this. On most days he would sleep till noon, play video games for 2 hours and then chill with his friends at the beach. Today, however is the last Saturday of summer vacation 2008 and it should be spent doing something….
“BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT”
“Stupid alarm clock waking me up at 7 am”
Jace walked over to the mirror just like he had always done. As he was doing the routine check for facial hair, the idea struck him”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-218.jpg
“Damn , it’s the last weekend of summer!!”

----------this is where i would put the opening if this was a real show =D------------------

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-219.jpg
-sigh- “As usual Raina you are up at dawn reading a book. Do you ever sleep past 8?”
“I’M doing summer reading; maybe you should give it a try. Anyway why are you up so early?”
“The stupid alarm clock….ugh never mind. Listen, do you realize that it’s the last weekend of summer??”
“Yea….”
“Well I think we should all do something really awesome tonight and I don’t mean going to the beach or hanging at the mall. I think we should go to a club!”
Raina jumped off her bed immediately
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-221.jpg
“What??? Ok there are many problems with that idea. 1. All of us are underage 2. NONE of us look anywhere close to being 21 and 3. All of us are underage!!!! Geez did you hit your head last night while surfing? Why can’t we just have a bonfire or something?”
“Because Raina We are all finally in high school and I think we should celebrate. I’ll call the rest of the guys up and see what they think”
“Yeah and what about mom and dad?!” Raina called as her brother walked out of the room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-213.jpg
-girls just wanna have fun- playing on radio
“and that’s the end of our 80’s block folks. Hope all you crazy kids out there are spending your last days of freedom having fun”
“Yeah yeah. Must you remind us this EVERY year? Hmmm I look so hot; I think I’ll wear my red bikini today. Maybe the cute life guard will finally notice me”
-Riinggg-
“Hello?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-216.jpg
“Oh hey Jace”
“Nothing just trying on some clothes. So listen I was thinking that tonight we can have a bonfire on the beach. Jonny and Jill can bring their dad’s fire pit, and…”
“A club??? Dude that would be awesome, but you are aware that I’m only fourteen? I can barely pass for a 16 year old. How are we going to get in?”
“I guess we could find a club that doesn’t card. I could find out from my neighbor. She goes out all the time now that she’s 21. Ok later dude I’ll let you know”
-click-
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-229.jpg
Skye Bailey meditates on a daily basis. In her opinion, this brings her closer mother nature. She HATES being disturbed.
-Riiiiinggg-
“UGH that better not be Esther again asking me to go tanning!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-230.jpg
“You better have a good reason to interrupt my mediation Jace”
“A club?? Geez you really did hit your head on your surfboard. I thought we were going to just hang on the beach like we do every year?”
“ I’m aware that Esther and I are starting high school on Monday, but going to a club is a stupid way to celebrate it. I have better things to be doing. I’ll talk to you later”
-click-
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-232.jpg
“Hey Skye. Got any plans tonight? Mom and I are going to visit Aunt Linda. She’s having a barbeque and wants to show us her new prized poodle. Sade can’t make it, she’s going to LA with Kari. So, what do you say?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-233.jpg
“heh heh….As much as I love Linda’s poodles and her rants about pet stores not selling doggie shoes ,I’m afraid I can’t go. Jonny and Jill are having….a thing”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-224.jpg
“Ok Jace remember what we planned to say”
“You sure you wanna do this?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-225.jpg
“I don’t exactly want to go to a bar, but I’m definitely not spending my last Saturday of freedom by myself”
“Ok then let’s do this”
“Hey dad we….”
“Ah you’re up”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-226.jpg
“I just wanted to let you two know that you’re on your own this weekend. Your mother and I are going to a medical conference up in Santa Barbara. I left 50 dollars on the table and you can call us when you need us. We will be leaving within the hour”
Jace didn’t hear a word past weekend. The angels had definitely answered his prayers. Jace and Raina hugged their parents goodbye and waited 5 minutes until they were out the door to …
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-227.jpg
“YES!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ok I agree, this is pretty awesome. I say after everyone can sleep over and tomorrow we can go to the beach”
“Raina that sounds like an excellent idea”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-237.jpg
“Crap, Jace and Rae will be here in 2 hours. I don’t even know what to wear and Jonny has been sleeping on my bed for hours”
“And I’m trying to look good in my new dress.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-234.jpg
“You look fine, amazing actually. What are you doing in LA anyway?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-235.jpg
“Just going shopping with Sade and then maybe go out to eat. You know I could lend you one of my dresses. I’m sure you’ll look decent in it”
“Really?!?! Oh my god Kari I love you so much for this! I was about to wear what I’m wearing right now which totally screams ‘I’m under 21’”
“Ok ok, let me just wash my face and then I’ll doll you up”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-241.jpg
-outside the room- “Jonny get out! I have to get dressed and so do you”
“Hey Kari! You ready yet??”
“Yeah just a minute” Kari yelled as she grabbed the pills and swallowed them.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-240.jpg
“Ok jeez. I’ll be outside in 10 and I’ll call Esther to meet us here”
Kari walked in with the dress and some makeup. In 20 minutes they were done. Kari pulled out her camera and put on the timer.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-242.jpg
“Wait before you go let’s take a picture. It’s not every day my little sister actually dresses up”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-244.jpg
“What up Jilly, You look amazing”
“So do you Esther, Where did you get that dress….and those shoes?”
“My mom hahahha, she was a model from the age of 15 so I can basically wear any of her old clothes”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-246-1.jpg
“Ladies…the..er…transportation will be here in about 5 minutes”
“What do you mean? Jace’s parents are driving us?? Dude they are totally strict, how did he convince them to do that?”
“Oh no Esther, you’ll find out in about….”
-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP-
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-247-1.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-248-1.jpg
“Ta-da!!!!!!!!!” Raina yelled from the car window
“Dude…NO WAY!!”
“ Jace how on earth did you get your parents car??”
“Just get in Jill, I’ll explain on the way. Caleb and Skye will meet us at the subway station. I told them we would be there in 10”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-251.jpg
“Ok now that everyone is here, I can explain how I got the car”
“Well in short, my brother took the spare keys from my dad’s hiding spot. Since they are out of town…they kind of don’t know that we have it”
“YOU STOLE YOUR DAD’S CAR?!?!?!”
“Whoa Whoa, Caleb you need to calm down buddy. They are gone for the weekend. I’ll have it back in the morning. Nothing bad will happen, I promise”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-252.jpg
“Um Esther are you sure this is the place your neighbor goes?”
“Like I told you over the phone Raina this is the only place that doesn’t card. So obviously it’s not a spectacular place.”
“As long as they have a couch for me to sit on, I’m fine”
“Fine Skye be boring”
“Well Esther, there has to be someone around to carry your drunk ass home tonight”
“Oh please, I never get drunk”
“That’s because you never drink” Caleb chimed in.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-253.jpg
“Wow a real club!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-254.jpg
“So Jill care to have a drink with me?”
“Sure, but do you know what to order?”
“Um yeaaaa, I’ll be right back"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-257.jpg
“Hey there…er bub. I’ll have a ….uh… pina colada with some…er rum and uh tequila…yeah tequila”
“That would taste horrible ma’am”
“Right then…um I’ll have er…whatever is the most popular”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-261.jpg
“Real smooth Esther”
“Shut up, just drink you’re….whatever that is”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-255.jpg
“This place is …..pretty empty”
“Yep and theres a wasted chick dancing on a table behind you. GREAT club Esther brought us to. –sigh- I guess I’ll go dance a little…get my moneys worth”
“And I’ll go drink some beers”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-263.jpg
“So why did you ask me to dance, Raina?”
“Well let’s see….Skye is being all mopey since she doesn’t want to be here, Esther is drunk and hitting on the bartender, Jill is getting to that point, I am NOT dancing with my brother and Caleb would not dance if his life depended on it…so I guess you are the last choice”
“Wow thanks for making me feel so special”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-264.jpg
“So like….after I turned 25 I just decided to dye my hair pink you know? It totally brings out the color of my room and stuff. Also pink is the color of my fish named lizzy…and I LOVE HERRR”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-266.jpg
“CALEB!!!!! Wanna see something cool??!?!?!”
“Jill its not loud in here at all, you really don’t have to scream, but yes I would love to see this something”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-267.jpg
“Uh….what are you picking up??”
“Just some knarly food left on the floor…ok watch this!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-268.jpg
“Mmmmmm….tastes like chocolate covered hot dogs”
“Oh man….I think I’m gunna hurl”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-260.jpg
As Skye walked around the grungy old bar looking for a bathroom, she came across a balding man in his 40’s. Being the naïve person she is, she asked him.
“Um excuse me….do you by any chance know where the bathroom is?”
“Sure it’s right over that way”
“Thanks”
The man grabbed skye’s arm.
“Hey before you go. How about you dance with me sugar”
“Ew get off me you perv!!”
As the man tried to force himself on Skye. A drunken Jace came running to her rescue.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-270.jpg
“Hey man, back the f*** off!!”
“This is none of your business kid. Now get outta my face before I get angry”
“I’ll tell the manager!! And he’ll throw you out, you pathetic creep!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-271.jpg
“ I AM the manager dumbass and you’ve made me angry now. You and your little friends better get the hell outta my bar before I call the cops. If you even set foot back in here I will knock you on your ass so hard you will be feeling it for weeks”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-275.jpg
“C’mon guys we’re outta here”
As the friends ran outside, they noticed something very off in the parking lot.
“Guys…..where the hell is my car?!?!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-272.jpg

-----------To be continued in part two!

[DigitalSympathies]

It was really exciting. :D

[Karasu20]

Yay its posted!!

thanks DigitalSympathies!!

I'll be posting the second part either tonight or tomorrow afternoon

[Kathleen_Anne]

Hey, this is a great start! I just knew something would happen to that car, lol

[Karasu20]

Thanks =)

Lol that's what they get for stealing it

[Karasu20]

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-272.jpg
10 minutes after looking all around the block, Jace had to face the truth.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-273.jpg
“So basically I won’t be seeing any of you for a very long time. My dad is going to KILL me. I can’t believe my last day of freedom is being spent in a dirty parking lot with two wasted chicks”
“Look man it doesn’t have to be this way. Yeah things look crappy now, but why do we have to spend the rest of the night like this?”
“You know, Jonny is right. Why don’t we do something fun to get our minds off of this horrible night?”
“Yeah and what would that be Raina?”
“I don’t know, the beach?”
“The beach? What is your obsession with the beach Raina? And are you forgetting? it’s 2am !”
Jonny was about to retort that it will be the last time Jace will ever see 2 am, but he was interrupted by a gun shot. The crazy manager was standing 10 feet away holding a shotgun.
“I called the cops, you have 15 minutes to get the hell off my property!!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-276.jpg
They all ran like they had never ran before.
As they looked at the deserted beach, the group of friends realized just how much fun this could be. So they turned on the abandoned radio, broke into the lifeguard stand and began their last night of freedom. (song:The Dickies- banana splits)
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-341.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-346.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-344.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-348.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-285-1.jpg
“Hey guys I found a match and I lit the fire pit!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-350-1.jpg
“Man that was fun”
“See? I told you it would be. Now all we have to do is think of a cover story for the car”
“You know Jonny I almost forgot, but ….really THANKS for reminding me”
“Hey I never said completely forget it”
“GUYS!!! I have a plan”
Everyone turned to Jill who was still obviously drunk.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-351-1.jpg
“We just say we were at caleb’s for a sleepover and when you and Raina came home, the car was gone”
“Hey!! I never agreed to that”
“Shutup Cal, that’s actually great idea. Thanks Jill”
“No problem they don’t call me Jill the great problem solver for nothing. Hahahaha”
“……….Ok I guess we all better get going, WOW it’s 5 am!” Raina exclaimed
Everyone got up and started gathering their things. As Skye,Caleb and Esther went to the subway, Jill,Jonny,Jace and Raina got a ride from Kari (who was just getting home herself). She promised not to say anything and actually congratulated them on doing something “you only get to do once in a lifetime”.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-299.jpg
As Jace and Raina walked up to their driveway, they saw something that almost made them scream.
“Ok what am I seeing?”
“I believe it’s our “stolen” car, Jace”
“….but how?!!”
At that moment a door opened, and standing in front of them was a very angry Sid Loukas.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-293.jpg
“…so then the manager kicked us out and we discovered the car was missing. We looked everywhere dad, I swear”
“Well you’re lucky you’re mother and I were on our way home from the cancelled conference. We actually thought it was stolen so I jumped in and drove it home. Which is when I ran into Mrs. Jergens across the street who spotted my son and daughter taking the car for a joyride.”
“I’m sorry. I swear it won’t happen again”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-296.jpg
“You’re damn right it won’t. Both of you are grounded for the next two weeks. Also I’m taking your permits away for the next year. You can learn to take the bus from now on. Now get out of my sight!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-300.jpg
“Just got off the phone with the last of our friends. Looks like they all got home safely and none of their parents questioned them. Except for Caleb’s, who wondered why their son was suddenly out having a social life at 5:00 in the morning”
“How great for them. Remind me to wave to them from my prison this weekend as they go out and have fun”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-302.jpg
“Yeah these next two weeks are really going to suck”
“Yep… and all for what? So we can go to some crappy bar and get harassed by some perv?”
“At least the beach was fun”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Screenshot-303.jpg
“It’s funny… I kept saying that the club would be way more fun than the beach, but the night turned out to be the total opposite.
“heh….well I’’m going to sleep for the next 8 hours. Don’t wake me unless it’s something important”
“Yep and I’ll just be here doing what I’ve been doing this entire summer”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next chapter: It's a new year at Hillwood High and Caleb is the new editor of the newspaper. He decides to include live newscasts, which he wants to film with Jill. Jill however would also want this to be a date, will Caleb realize just how much she likes him?
Meanwhile, Jonny confronts Kari about the pills.

[Kathleen_Anne]

Knew they couldn't wriggle out of being in trouble about that car!

Just a couple of things I noticed when I was reading through:

“You’re damn right it won’t. Both of you are grounded for the next two weeks. Also I’m taking you’re permits away for the next year. You can learn to take the bus from now on. Now get out of my site!!”

You're = you are, in the bolded instance I think you meant your. I'm not a grammar obsessed person or anything but I actually read "you're" in my head AS "you are" so I usually notice when it's wrong even if I'm trying not to. Because I also had to back track and re-read I also noticed site instead of sight. I hope you don't mind me letting you know, I know I like it when people let me know!

Keep up the good work!

[hungryhippo]

HEY you finally did it, great beginning too! Nice pictures and poses, and the setting really does feel like the California west coast vibe! Loved when they were all at the beach just having fun as a close group of friends. Looking forward to the next update so keep posting =D !!

[Karasu20]

Thanks for catching those mistakes.

I proof read, but i guess i missed those lol.

and thanks hungryhippo!! Its funny how my story is kinda like 90210/The OC and your story is like gossip girl =D.

I got most of the pictures for the next update, I just need to start writing it. Hopefully the next update will be by the weekend.

[DigitalSympathies]

Best new series on here I've seen, almost better than watching an actual video (almost).

I can officially say I'm addicted to this story. It's so . . . REAL! :D

[Kathleen_Anne]

Thanks for catching those mistakes.

I proof read, but i guess i missed those lol.



Not a problem! I miss heaps of mistakes in my own proof reading too, most people do especially if it's something they've just written. The reason is you read what you think you wrote not what you've written!

[Karasu20]

Lol exactly. Also I always catch myself writing in chatspeak since i'm so used to typing like that. I'm trying to stop doing that >.<

Thank you Digital sympathies, that means a lot ! =)

[Karasu20]

Almost done with chapter 2. I just need to take pictures for the last scene and write the rest. Hopefully it will be up by tomorrow.

I'm really hoping I can finish season 1 by the end of august because i go to school then and i dont have sims there =(.

[Karasu20]

This chapter is a little bit different than what I said it was going to be about(i changed my mind while writing it). Also I'm not quite done with the rest of the chapter(I'm on the last scene).
----------------------------------
The Tresiers always sought to have a family breakfast every morning, much to the dismay of Jonny, who would much rather get a breakfast burrito and skateboard to school than listen to the boring conversations at the table. On this morning however, breakfast would be slightly more….interesting.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-315.jpg
“Yep so Caleb is the new editor in chief of the Hillwood Times. He said that today we are going to discuss finally doing live newscasts”
“That’s excellent Jill. Too bad these two aren’t as much into school spirit as you are”
“Dad, I’m a senior. I’m just counting down the days to get out of that place. Plus you know I do modeling after school”
“Kari, I would hardly call going from agency to agency looking for a job: modeling” Yuna Tresier said with a slight attitude.
“Well Yuna, It’s better than sitting at home all day doing nothing….like you seem to be doing ever since you got married”
Just as Yuna was about to retort. Jean interrupted.
“Now, now I did not mean to push any buttons.
It may seem odd that a daughter can talk this way to her mother, but these are special circumstances. Kari is not related to Yuna as she is Jean’s daughter from another marriage.
“Right well I’m going to get ready and walk to the bus stop, are you coming Jill,Kari?” Jonny said as he got up from the table.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-317.jpg
“Yes, but can you just go up to the bathroom and grab my phone? I think I left it there. We’ll wait for you outside.
Jonny rolled his eyes and walked upstairs. Kari was lazy and she always asked him to do stuff for her even when she was perfectly capable of doing it herself. If it wasn’t for Jill being so close to Kari, Jonny would definitely stop being so nice to her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-318.jpg
“Ok once again she forgot the phone is in her purse…….”
“What the hell??” Jonny whispered as he spotted pills on the counter top.
---------------------------------------------------------Opening
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-319.jpg
Jonny thought about confronting her right then and there, but he thought twice and saved the family drama for later. At least until he knew the truth.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-320-1.jpg
“Jonny! I actually found the phone in my purse. Anyway, we get to drive to school in dad’s sweet convertible!!!” Kari yelled as she walked towards Jonny
“Esther will totally freak when she see’s us in this! She always wanted one” Jill said as she hopped into the front seat.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-321.jpg
“….er that’s cool I guess….”
“Wow way to show your excitement. Now come on we’re going to be late!!”
As Jonny walked to the car and saw how happy Jill and Kari were together, he decided he would ask Kari about the pills in school. He would try to keep this from Jill the best he could.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-312.jpg
“Right, well I would like to thank everyone for spending their breakfast period here. I just wanna say that this year the Hillwood Times will be more high tech and better than ever! So get ready to spend A LOT of time here, but don’t worry it will be loads of fun!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-304.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-305.jpg
*Cough*
Caleb was about to tell everyone about the live newscasts, but he was interrupted by two people who strolled in.

“Hey, fat harry potter! You are a loser!!”
“Dude this club is so lame. Why are there even people here? Nerd boy’s paper won’t even be good enough for my dog to piss on”
As the two pot heads started laughing, Jill got up from her seat to let them have it.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-307.jpg
“Why don’t you two go make out in the back of the school like you usually do?!”
“Whoaaahhh Harry Potter got a girlfriend”
“hahahaha whatever man let’s get out of here. I don’t want to be catching geek on the first day”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-308.jpg
“Right well…um I guess the next meeting will be tomorrow afternoon”
Everyone packed up to leave. Caleb waited by the lockers for Jill and Raina to come out of the room.
“Jill? Can we talk?”
“Sure…I’ll see you in a sec Raina”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-310.jpg
“I just want to say…thanks. I can usually deal with jerks, but you had my back…so…erm thanks…heh”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-309.jpg
“No problem Caleb, you know I will do anything for you. So anyway what’s the plan for these live newscasts? Do you want to shoot an intro or what?
“Actually yea, I wanted to know if you would be able tomorrow night? Around 5? You can come to my house and we can shoot around there”
“Sure ..it’s a da….I mean I’ll see you there..heh”
As Caleb walked away, Jill silently cursed herself. She had liked Caleb more than a friend for months now, but he just didn’t seem to get it. They had been best friends since pre-school. They even shot their first movie together in the second grade. So why was he being so difficult?
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-311.jpg
“Wow you are so obvious Jill”
“Yeah well you were the only person to notice. Caleb is still oblivious and only sees me as his best friend”
“So then why are you afraid to make a move? I think you should, at least then you’ll know if hes into you or not”
“hmmm I guess…. I have Spanish with him 3rd period. I’ll ask him then”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-313.jpg
“Hey Caleb! Wait up!”
“Yo Jill, what’s up?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-314.jpg
“Ok…I’m gunna just say it. I want tomorrow night to be a date!”
“….uh…..a …um we’re late to spanish!”
With an awkward glance at jill Caleb dashed to the door. Jill stood there shocked for a second until Mrs. Alvarez called her inside.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-324.jpg
“So then after class I just ran out before Jill could say something to me.”
“Wow, way to be a ass. My sister has the biggest crush on you and she finally asks you out and all you could is stutter and run away??”
“I know!! I like her too, but it’s just so…awkward”
“Well if you want to know my opinion. I think you should find her after school and just make out with her against a locker. Girls love it when the guy takes control”
“Jace, that’s a terrible idea...”
“Hey it’s what I would do”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-325.jpg
Jonny was about to offer some of his advice, when he saw Kari walking outside with Sade. He immediately got up from his seat. This was his chance to confront her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-327.jpg
“Guys I gotta do something. I’ll talk to you later!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-328.jpg
“Hey guys. Kari can I talk to you alone?”
“…Yeah sure, Sade save me a seat before the freshmen come out of gym. I swear they are like an army”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-329.jpg
“Ok I’m just going to come right out and say it. Are you doing drugs?”
“…What the hell kind of random question is that???”
“This morning when I went to go look for your phone, I found a bunch of pills on the counter. I know they weren't Jill’s and mom and dad have their own bathroom. So you need to explain to me right now what they were doing there”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-330.jpg
“Who the hell gives you the right to look through my crap?! It’s none of your business why I had them there, so stay the hell out of my life!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-331.jpg
“It will be my business when Jill finds out her sister is a druggie. Do you realize how much she looks up to you?? When she finds out you need to go to rehab, she will be destroyed!”
“Noone is going to rehab. I have this under control, and fyi I take the pills when I’m stressed. I could stop taking them any time.”
“Yeah because that’s not a cliché any addict uses” Jonny said as he rolled his eyes.
“Whatever, just stay out of my life”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-333.jpg
“This will catch up with you eventually, and sooner or later you’ll have to deal with it!”

[DigitalSympathies]

Ooh, I loved it. I can't wait to see where this is going.

[Karasu20]

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-152.jpg
“..and by the time class ended he ran out before I could say anything”
“Wow I know Caleb is shy, but I never thought he would do something so stupid” Raina muttered while she washed her hands.
“Ok I think the problem here is that we have two shy people too afraid to tell the other what they are feeling. So here’s what you gotta do Jill: find him after school, push him against a locker and make out with him. Guys love it when girls are in control”
“Uh Esther that’s a horrible idea, especially since I would never be able to push Caleb into a locker. I’m a twig.”
“ I’ve got any idea, but we need Skye and Esther for this one” Raina said as she walked over.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-162.jpg
“You two are going to find Caleb after school. Probably on the couch on the third floor, he always sits there while he waits for his dad to pick him up. While there you will both force Caleb to ask Jill out himself”
“Yeah and how exactly would that work?”
“ You’re going to talk about how Jill is so bored this weekend that shes going to ask Ian Hampton from biology out on a date to see that new movie The House Bunny. For one he will get jealous since he hates Ian and two he will get mad that she is seeing such a horrible movie”
Esther and Skye both smiled deviously.
“Raina have I ever told you are a genius?” Jill exclaimed while she hugged Raina.
“Not nearly enough times”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-332-1.jpg
“Hey Caleb”
“Hey Skye, Esther. Don’t you two have drama club?”
“It doesn’t start for half an hour. We thought we could hang out with our awesome friend Caleb till then”
“ Mind if we sit down?”
“…Sure... Esther”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-335-1.jpg
“So Skye did you hear that Jill is going out with Ian Hampton tomorrow night?”
“Oh yeah she said they are going to see The House Bunny”
“…what? Why would Jill…I mean not like I care, but….”
“Caleb are you ok? You look kinda nervous”
“What? Oh I’m fine. I just need to…wow look at the time. My dad is probably outside. See you guys later”
Caleb dashed down the hall like he was in a marathon.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-336-1.jpg
“Well that was easy”
“Skye I think we should do this more often. We make a great team”
Caleb ran all the way to the first floor lobby until he spotted Jill, who was about to leave.
“Jill…wa…wait!!” He gasped as he ran after her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-339.jpg
“I wa…was being…really…rude before, I’m really sorry.”
“…um thanks Caleb, but I really have to get going, Kari is outside and…”
“Tomorrow! Date! You, me 5:00!!”
“….really?!”
“Yes, yes, yes…It’s taken me a long time to say this, but I really like you Jill and tomorrow I want to be our first official date.”
“Took you long enough….of course! I’ll call you tomorrow”
Jill hugged Caleb and walked out the door. When she got into the car she screamed so loud that Kari almost went deaf in one ear.

Later that night, Kari was out doing what her brother feared she was doing.
“Yeah I’m at the junkyard, I have the cash so hurry the f*** up!” Kari yelled to the anonymous person on the phone.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot.jpg
Jonny had waited all night for his sister to come home. He waited so long that he fell asleep on the couch. At around 5:30 am, Kari finally walked in.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-2.jpghttp://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-3.jpg
“Kari? Is that you??” Jonny mumbled as he woke up from his five hour long nap.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-4.jpg
“…you look terrible. Are you honestly going to tell me that you spent the night at Sade’s?? It’s obvious that you were out partying.”
“…Jonny…I told you to shut..up and stay out of it”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-5.jpg
“No I will not stay out it! You need help. I’m not just going to stand around and watch you ruin this family, especially Jill.”
“Calm…down!! I need sleep, now get out of my way”
“Kari, Jonny? Why are you guys up?” A voice called from upstairs.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-6.jpg
Both of them stood there shocked. Jonny was hoping that Jill didn’t hear anything and Kari was just hoping to get out of this situation and into bed.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-8.jpg
But as soon as Jill came downstairs she grabbed Kari and pulled her away and didn't notice a thing.
“I’m so glad you are up. I need help later with my outfit for the date.”
“..um…ok, but I really need to get to sleep. Later, ok?” Kari said as she tried to sound as sober as she possibly could.
With a warning glance at Jonny she walked upstairs and into her room to collapse.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-9.jpg
Jonny watched as both sisters parted ways. All he could think about was the day that Kari’s drug problem was out in the open. He knew that he would be caught in the middle of it and that Jill will be hurt. He just wished that the day would come later rather than sooner.

[Karasu20]

The next morning Caleb woke up at 11:30 am. He decided that now would be a good time to get ready for his very first date.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-13.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-16.jpg
“Ok obviously I won’t be wearing this t-shirt, too geeky”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-17.jpg
“Ok…I need something that will tell Jill I’m serious about this date. This can’t be like any old time we hang out”
After about 5 outfits, Caleb finally chose one:
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-18.jpg
“Good enough…now to ask the rents for girl advice”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-19.jpg
“-sigh- Mom….Dad?...This is really hard, but um I need…girl advice”
Nick Bates dropped his coffee and Monica Bates gasped.Can it be that their socially awkward son finally had a girlfriend?
“Sit down Caleb” Nick said as he cleaned up his coffee.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-20.jpg
“…so I’m supposed to meet her at 5:00”
“hmm well first let me say, I’m glad you finally asked out Jill. Your mother and I knew it would happen eventually. Anyway, You are past the awkward asking phase so now you need to figure out how to woo her”
“…woo her?”Caleb asked increduously .
“Yes…you know flowers, romantic dinner,etc..”
“Right…is that what you did with mom?”
“Of course I did son, how else do you think I nabbed such a hottie?”Nick said as he tapped Caleb on the shoulder.
“-SIGH-..dad, don’t say hottie…EVER”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-22.jpg
“Just so you know Caleb, your father took me to a burger joint and then afterwards he kissed me on the cheek.He was just lying to make himself look good” Monica laughingly whispered to Caleb.
“But should I do what he said?”
“Cal you’ve been friends with this girl for years, it’s not like you need to impress her, she already knows she likes you. So just do what you want”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-23.jpg
“Ok how’s this one?”
“Just like the last 6 outfits, it’s FINE!!! Now can we go? I want to get to the mall before it closes and the drive to Caleb’s is like half an hour in traffic”
“ok,ok…by the way thanks for driving me.” Jill said as they walked out the door.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-25.jpg
“Kari?”
“Yeah?”
“Do you think Caleb and I would make a good couple?”
“That’s a weird question Jill, especially since you are about to go on a date with the guy”
“Just answer the question, I need someone’s unbiased opinion”
“hmm well he’s definitely not a stud, but he’s a film geek like you, he’s sweet and you’ve been friends since you were five. So yeah I guess you would”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-26.jpg
Jill waited at Caleb’s gate for ten minutes nervous out of her mind. Finally he came outside.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-27.jpg
“Hey”
“Hi”
“ So um I called a cab, we’re going to the art museum. Is that ok?”
“Ooo the new one?! Yes Caleb! I’ve been wanting to go to there all month” Jill said with a smile.

And with that the two were finally over the first date jitters and found themselves having a great time.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-30.jpg
First they went to the art museum. As Jill was looking at a sculpture, Caleb ran outside and bought flowers at the flower cart. Jill loved them, especially since they were her favorite color.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-31.jpg
Then they went to the fancy italian resturant on Palm boulevard. There they spent two hours talking about movies, art and basically eveyrthing they had in common.

Before they knew it the night was almost over.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-32.jpg
“Caleb..tonight was really fun.”
“It was…no problem, I mean…well yeah I had fun too”
“So I guess we won’t be shooting that newscast thing tonight right?
“What? You wanted to do that tonight? Oh man I knew I shouldn’t have listened to my dad, I knew we shouldve just….”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-34.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-33-1.jpg

“Caleb relax. Like I said, tonight was fun. It was good for a first date, but just know that even if you took me to eat chinese food, I would say the same thing. The reason I like you is that you aren’t like other guys”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-38-1.jpg
“I guess…then next time do you want chinese food? I mean we could go to panda express or that place on seacrest or..”
“Caleb just shutup...and kiss me”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%202/Screenshot-36.jpg

Next time:Raina decides to spend the weekend alone with her father to pick up on some father-daughter bonding time. Unfortunately her father has to work, so Raina decides to go out with her friends. She changes her mind later on and stays home instead only to discover something terrible.

[Kathleen_Anne]

Great update and not too boring at all! You have some great plotlines developing and the pictures are varied and interesting! There was one section that jarred me out of the story which was the following:

“Yep so Caleb is the new editor in chief of the Hillwood Times. He said that today we are going to discuss finally doing live newscasts”
“That’s excellent Jill. Too bad these two aren’t as much into school spirit as you are”
“Dad, I’m a senior. I’m just counting down the days to get out of that place. Plus you know I do modeling after school”
“Kari, I would hardly call going from agency to agency looking for a job: modeling” Yuna Tresier said with a slight attitude.
“Well Yuna, It’s better than sitting at home all day doing nothing….like you seem to be doing ever since you got married”
Just as Yuna was about to retort. Jean interrupted.
“Now, now I did not mean to push any buttons.
It may seem odd that a daughter can talk this way to her mother, but these are special circumstances. Kari is not related to Yuna as she is Jean’s daughter from another marriage.
“Right well I’m going to get ready and walk to the bus stop, are you coming Jill,Kari?” Jonny said as he got up from the table.

You have some great dialogue going on there and then we have a bit of telling rather than showing suddenly inserted. Now, I am the first to say showing isnt everything, and sometimes telling is the best but amongst that heated discussion it stood out especially as it was in present tense. It read (to me) like an author's note in the middle of the story. You could tr belending the telling into the dialogue a bit more such as:


“Well It’s better than sitting at home all day doing nothing….like you seem to be doing ever since you got married” Kari said, meaning her words to sting Yuna.
"Is that any way to speak to your mother?"
"STEP mother!" Kari was Jean’s daughter from another marriage, and she tried not to let Yuna forget it! or even correcting the tense might help!
Obviously the above was just an example, you know how your characters talk and think better than I do so I'm not saying ou sould have written that or anything ;)

I'm looking forward to the next update! (Caleb rocks!)

[Karasu20]

Thank you so much for pointing out things like that. I really appreciate it =) I'm new to this whole writing thing so I really love seeing this stuff.

With that scene I kind of just took that picture and started writing. I knew I should have added a picture of Yuna looking at Kari with disgust, but with sims it's really hard lol. I wish I could find sitting poses with varied facial expressions, It would help so much.

Also Jean(pronounced john btw) is kind of that laid back dad that doesn't really want to get involved. Which is why he changed the subject immediately.

With my next update there will be a lot more scenes like that so I'll try to add more pictures =)

PS: sorry for that last picture everyone. I JUST realized Jill's hand is going through Caleb -_____-

[Karasu20]

Sorry for the long wait. I didn't really have much time this weekend. Also I'm starting to pack for school(blegh) so these updates may take a while. I promise to have at least chapter 4 up by the time I leave for school at the end of August. After that there will be a longer wait =(. Probably a new chapter every 2-3 months.

“Finally they are home” Sid Loukas sighed.
Him and his wife, Nicole sat in their living room waiting for their son and daughter to arrive home from school. You see, two weeks ago they were grounded, but certain circumstances may change that today.
“Sit down you two. We have something to tell you” Nicole said.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-41-1.jpg
Jace and Raina sat down. Both fearing the worst, but not understanding why. During their grounding they came home from school on time, did extra chores, did their homework, went to bed on time, and anything else they could think of to please their parents.
“We wanted to let you know that your grounding is officially over.”
“But dad it’s Friday! Our grounding should be over on Sunday!” Raina gasped from the couch.
“Yes your father and I know that, but we talked about it and we think you’ve both learned from your mistake. So, Jace you can go to your soccer game this weekend and Raina you can go to Skye’s sleepover.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-42.jpg
Jace jumped up from his seat.
“I LOVE YOU!!”
“I’m gonna go tell the guys! Hopefully they haven't left yet.” Jace yelled as he ran out of the room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-43.jpg
“Mom I love you for letting me go tonight, but I kind of wanted to stay home this weekend with dad. Since you are going away this weekend with Skye’s mom, I thought dad and I could maybe spend the weekend together. We really haven't done that in a while.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-45.jpg
“That’s sweet Raina, but I have to work late tonight and tomorrow as well.”
“Oh…well then in that case I guess I’ll go” Raina said with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-46.jpg
“Goodbye honey I’ll see you on Sunday”
“I love you”
“Ew! I'm not even halfway out the room" Raina called from the hallway.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-49.jpg
“Jace! Wait up!”
Jace turned around. “What? My ride is here. I have to be at the game in like twenty minutes”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-50.jpg
“I just wanted to ask. Do you know what dad’s favorite food is?”
“….uh…I think some nasty Indian dish called shwarma, why?”
“Ugh I don’t know how to make that, what’s his second favorite food?”
“Raina why are you asking me these pointless questions minutes before I have to leave for my soccer game??”
“Because, tonight I am going to leave the sleepover early to make dinner for dad. I want to surprise him when he comes home. I feel like we never get to talk you know?”
“Yeah I guess, well good luck with that. I’ll see you on Sunday.”
Raina smiled and hugged her brother goodbye. She was actually excited about spending the weekend with her dad. Jace always spends time with him when they are watching the game so this might be a chance to finally catch up.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-51.jpg
“Hey dad…um do you like Macaroni and cheese?”
“Sure, why do you ask?”
“Oh no reason. So..uh what time will you be home tonight?”
“hmm probably around 9/930. I’m on call for the rest of the night though. Hopefully I won’t have to do any surgeries tonight. I really need to catch up on my sleep”
“Yeah I guess that would be good. Are you usually hungry when you get home?”
“haha.. what is with all the questions?”
“Oh no reason” Raina said with a smile on her face.
“Ok here we are. You have fun tonight, I’ll pick you up in the morning.”
“Ok thanks dad”

“Hey Ray!!” Skye yelled as she hugged Raina tightly.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-54.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-55.jpg
“So who’s here so far?”
“Just Esther and my sister. Jill is going to be late because of her date with Caleb….vomit”
“haha…oh please you know they are cute”
“Yeah when they aren’t acting like a married couple. C’mon let’s go in the living room”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-53.jpg
“Hello Raina” Kevin Bailey said happily.
"Hi Mr. Bailey"
“Dad are you guys going to the movie yet? You said you would be gone by now”
“What we’re not cool enough? Like duuuuude why nottt?”
“Dad! Stop!” Skye laughed as she punched her dad in the arm.
As Raina stood there she was reminded that she didn’t have this type of relationship with her own father. Hopefully tonight when he sees that she made him dinner they can bond and maybe in the future have a close relationship like the one between Skye and her father.
As the parents left the girls sat down on the couch.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-56.jpg
“Ok so don’t kill me Skye,but I’m going to leave at 7:30”
“Huh? Why???That’s like two hours away.”
“I just wanted to hang out with my dad tonight. He’s actually home early for once and I never get to spend time with him.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-57.jpg
“A teenager wants to spend time with their father? Hmmm I think you’re a robot Raina”
“Funny”
“Ok I’m not waiting for Jill anymore. Let’s put on the radio and dance!!!!” Esther yelled as she ran over to the stereo.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-58.jpg
“Man you underclassmen are so cheesy”
“Oh please Sade you know you want to join us”
“Negative, I’m gunna go order pizza”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-59.jpg
“Woooo!!”
Before Raina realized it, it was already 7:30 and she had to get home to prepare the dinner. She ate her last slice of pizza and gathered her things.
“Ok later guys! I’ll see you at school”
“Bye Raina!!”
As Raina walked outside she spotted Jill coming out of a cab.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-60.jpg
“How was your date with Caleb?”
“It was cool we went to the emerald bay film festival and then he took me to this amazing sushi place.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-61.jpg
“Aw well it looks like you found the perfect boyfriend.”
“Well I only have you to thank for that. It sucks that you have to leave so early” Jill said with a frown.
“I know, but I really want to make my dad happy.”
Raina hopped in the cab and went home. As soon as she got there she went straight to work. Even though she was simply making mac n’ cheese out of a box, she hoped that her dad would love it.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-63.jpg
About half an hour later, Raina was finished. She even added some wine from the cellar to make the dinner really special.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-64.jpg
-sigh- “Now I wait…oh wow its already 9:00! I better get upstairs and get cleaned up”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-65.jpg
Raina waited for her dad until 9:30, which is when she drifted off to sleep. Not knowing that the mac ncheese was getting cold and that the candle had gone out already.
At around 11:00 Raina heard a door slam shut. She woke up with a jolt.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-66.jpg
“Can it be? He’s finally home!! Ugh I hope the dinner didn’t go bad”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-67.jpg
“Dad?” Raina whispered off of the landing.

part 2 will hopefully be up later tonight.

[Kathleen_Anne]

Oh, another update! I wanna know what happens next already! Hehe, god work!

[Karasu20]

Raina walked down in the foyer where she heard people in the next room. At first she thought her mother was home, but she was dead wrong.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-68.jpg
“…oh..my god”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-69.jpg
“Raina!!” Sid gasped as he pulled away from his mistress.
“Dad..how could you?!” Raina said a she fought hard to hold back tears.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-70.jpg
“So you lied?! This whole time you were just trying to get me out of the house so you can cheat on mom?!?!!”
“Raina please…let me explain” Sid said as he tried to pull Raina out of the room.
“No!! get your hands off me! Go to hell!!” Raina yelled as she ran towards the door.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-72.jpg
“Raina wait!!”
It was too late, Raina wanted to run as far away as she could. She couldn’t even begin to understand what she just witnessed. Her whole life she looked up to a man that would do this to his wife..to his family. As she got to the driveway she couldn’t take it and collapsed. Her tears started to form and she cried.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-73.jpg
“Raina…”
“..just…leave me alone! Go back…inside with that…that slut of yours..and just leave me alone..” Raina said between sobs.
As her dad walked back inside, raina decided that she could not sleep in her house tonight, so once again she ran.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-76.jpg
After about ten minutes she stopped at a park.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-77.jpg
As Raina sat in the desolate playground she began to wonder what her life will be like now. She had no idea how she was going to tell Jace or her mother what happened…or even if she should. Her family was about to fall apart and she had no idea how to stop it.
“Raina?” A voice called from the darkness.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-78.jpg
“Jonny…..what are you doing here?”
"...Just going for a walk.." Jonny said nervously. In reality he was actually looking for his drug addict sister. It was not something he liked to advertise.


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-79.jpg
“….so then I ran here. I really had no other place to go. I couldn’t go back to Skye's and have them see me like this.”
“..wow Raina I’m so sorry. I don’t even know what to say. I never thought your dad could do something like that, I always thought he was such a nice guy.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-80.jpg
“Yeah…so did I. I can’t believe I ….oh god…I made him dinner and he did this…” Raina blurted out as she started to cry again.
Jonny stood up and hugged Raina. This was all he could think of at the moment.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-81.jpg
“…I’m really sorry. I think I’m just gunna go back home. I’ll just lock myself in my room for the rest of the weekend and figure out what to do on Sunday.”
“No…you can stay at my house. There’s no reason you should be around your father right now.”
Raina smiled and followed Jonny up the block. She was glad she had a friend like him, someone who would actually let her stay at their house at 2:00 in the morning. For a moment she even forgot about her father.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-82.jpg
“You could sleep in Jill’s room tonight. I’m sure she won’t mind. We can explain it to her in the morning.”
“Ok”
“Ok goodnight Raina”
“…and Jonny?”
“Yeah?”
“Thank you”
Jonny smiled and went to his room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-83.jpg
Raina washed her runny makeup off her face and headed into Jill’s room. She didn’t realize how tired she was. Even though her mind was full of thoughts, Raina drifted off to sleep in a matter of minutes.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-84.jpg

[DigitalSympathies]

Well done! The posing was great. :) Can't wait for the next instalment!

[Karasu20]

A few hours later Raina awoke to find Jill had come home from the sleepover.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-86.jpg
“Woah! What…wh…dude am I seeing things?”
“No Jill, just sit on the floor, I’ll explain everything.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-87.jpg
“…and now I just don’t know what to do. I can’t go home and face him…I feel so trapped.”
“Oh hun, I’m really sorry. You don’t deserve that. Listen, I’m here for you and you can stay in my room for as long as you want”
“Thanks Jill. You guys are the best for letting me stay here until Sunday.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-90.jpg
“Hey Jill Esther is at the door and they are waiting for you to get money for the diner. Also Dad is coming upstairs I told him that Raina will be staying here.”
“You didn’t say why right?”
“No I just said you didn’t want to go home tonight because your dad will be working late and you didn’t want to be alone.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-93.jpg
“Jill please go downstairs, I can’t take Esther talking about her shoe collection anymore. It’s driving me bonkers.”
“Ok” Jill said while laughing.
“Raina would you like some French Toast?”
“No thanks Mr. Tresier.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-91.jpg
“I’ll see you later tonight.”
“and Jill don’t…”
“I won’t tell them anything I promise.”
As Mr. Tresier and Jill walked downstairs Jonny started getting his shoes on.
“Wanna go for a walk?”

For about half an hour the two walked around the neighborhood. Most of the time Jonny just listened while Raina complained about her father and how selfish he was. At one point though they stopped.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-99.jpg
“Jeez you must be tired of hearing me complain, I’m really sorry Jonny.”
“Honestly it’s fine. You’re keeping a terrible secret and you are feeling torn between telling the truth or keeping it secret because you don’t want to ruin your family. I can actually relate to that.”
“ha-ha! I’m sorry but you? You have the perfect family, thanks for making me laugh.” Raina said with the first smile she’s had all morning.
“No….I don’t. There was a reason I was walking around last night.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-100.jpg
“yeah and why is that?”
“Kari has a drug problem and I was looking for her because I don’t want Jill to find out.”

At that moment there was an awkward silence. Neither of them knew what to say. Jonny couldn’t believe he just blurted out that terrible secret.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-101.jpg
“….wow I had no idea, I’m sorry Jonny.”
“..It..It’s fine. I’ve been dealing with it for almost a month and hopefully she will realize she needs help.”
“Yeah but you shouldn’t have to be dealing with it. Just like I shouldn’t have to be burdened with this secret. I guess we could relate...”
“…c’mon I’m sick of talking about depressing crap. I don’t know about you but I’m in the mood for French toast.”
Raina smiled and followed Jonny up the block. She wasn’t feeling alone anymore and as much as she felt for Jonny, it was still nice to know that someone else was in the same predicament as her.


For the rest of the weekend Raina forgot all about her troubles and had fun with the twins. They played video games, watched movies, went to dinner with their parents and even had ice cream on the beach. It was almost as if Raina had been adopted into a new family, a better one. The fun ended however on Sunday morning when it was time for Raina to face reality and go home.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-105.jpg
“You’ll be ok Raina I promise. If anything bad happens just call me.” Jonny soothingly said as he held Raina’s hand.
“Thanks jonny”
Raina begrudgingly walked over to the cab and waved the Tresier’s house goodbye.

Raina hesitated as the cab pulled up to her house.
"This is really happening" She muttered to herself as she gave the driver money.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-106.jpg
Inside it looked like any normal family. Jace was telling a story about his soccer game and her parents were sitting close together while listening. Unfortunately this was all a facade.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-107.jpg
"And then I slid in the mud past this seven foot tall giant and scored the winning goal!" Jace exclaimed as Raina walked into the room.
"My son the star athlete"
"My son the boy who needs a new uniform after he ruined it in a muddy mess. Now let's go to the mall Jace, I want to get there before the store closes."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-109.jpg
"Goodbye honey" Nicole said as she kissed her husband.
Raina looked in disgust as this happened.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-110.jpg
"Oh hey Raina. When I get back I need to tell you everything.......including the after party" Jace whispered as he walked out of the room.
Raina smiled and waited for the two to leave.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-112.jpg
"Raina where on earth have you been?! Do you realize how worried I've..."
"SAVE IT dad!! I don't want to hear your crap."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-113.jpg
"Raina calm down and let's talk about this. You weren't supposed to find out like that."
"I wasn't supposed to find out at all! How could you cheat on mom? how could you just sit there and kiss her like nothing happened."
"It's a little bit more complicated than that. For two years I've been...."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-114.jpg
"TWO YEARS??? two years!! you've been with this woman for two years!!!!!!!" Raina yelled in disbelief, tears started to form yet again.
"I...don't know what to say"
Raina started running towards the stairs"Yeah well I have something to say to you.....F*** YOU!!!!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-115.jpg
"Don't you dare use that language in my house!!"
"You don't get to lecture me on morality. You don't get to tell me anything anymore!"
Raina ran to her bedroom and locked the door. She sat down on the floor and began to cry.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-118.jpg
"Raina...please come out of there. I'm sorry"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/episode%203/Screenshot-117.jpg
"Leave me alone!!I don't want anything to do with you and if you don't want me to tell mom then you will never speak to me again" Raina yelled between sobs. She hated her father more than anything now. As her father slowly walked away, Raina began to think about what was going to happen next. All she knew was that her family life was about to change for the worst.
-------------------------------------------------END
Next chapter will be the last for at least another month =(. I'll definately make it interesting =).

Next time:
Natalie Kenrick is a fresh faced beach girl from San Francisco. Everyone quickly grows to like her, except Esther who now has competition for Jace’s affection. They both plan on making a move at Caleb's 16th birthday party, but is Jace even interested?
Raina continues to ignore her father and keeps the secret from her family.

[Karasu20]

This chapter is going to be extra long to make up for the time i wont be updating =(. After this chapter I probably won't have the next update until like October/November. I guess just think of it as a mid-season break xD.
------------------------------------------------------
Autumn had arrived in Hillwood. During this time the residents might dress a little warmer, get into a holiday mood and focus on work and school. Not everyone would though; some people may still be in the summer mood and decide to go surfing…body surfing that is.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-92.jpg
“Man this sucks. We got up early for nothing”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-93.jpg
“Dude I told you it would be flat. Also we look like idiots. No one is at the beach because it’s mid October and its 65 degrees.”
“So? C’mon I’m not cold, but I am kinda hungry. Let’s go get a breakfast burrito”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-95.jpg
“Hey man look it’s her!”
Jonny rolled his eyes. “riiiight, the girl you’ve been stalking all weekend.”
Jace punched Jonny in the shoulder. “You can’t blame me for noticing a hot girl that comes to this truck every day. I’ve been seeing her here since Thursday.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-94.jpg
Jace cleared his throat and started flexing. “Alright I’m guna go talk to her, how do my muscles look?”
“You’re so dreamy I can’t even contain myself” Jonny said in a sarcastic high pitched voice.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-96.jpg
Jace followed the girl around the truck. When he got there he sighed. She was about to eat something.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-97.jpg
“haha! Good job!, you really know how to get a girl. I mean I can totally feel the chemistry between you two as she stands ten feet away from you.”
“Chill, she’s eating. I’m not just going to walk over there and talk to some girl who has a mouth full of food.”
After about a ten minute awkward wait, the girl finally finished eating and Jace walked over.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-98.jpg
“Hey I’m Jace.” Jace said with a cheesy grin on his face.
“…uhhh..hi?”
“So uh what’s a pretty girl like you doing out here all alone?”
At that point the girl started laughing. “Not the worst pick up line I’ve heard, but still pretty laughable”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-99.jpg
“The name is Natalie. I just moved here from San Fran and I come here to get some food once and a while. Do you…uh try this on all the pretty girls you see?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-100.jpg
“Well I can’t really say…since you’re the first one I’ve seen.”
“Charming…well I guess I’ll see you around…Casanova” Natalie said with a cool confidence and a smirk.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-102.jpg
“Wow…that was quite a performance. What did you find out about her?”
“Oh nothing…just that she’s from San Fran and she is totally into me.”
“…so you really didn’t find that much about her, nice job idiot.”
“Whatever man, I’ll probably see her in school tomorrow. If she lives around here than I’m sure she goes to Hillwood.”


The next day Esther was having her own dilemma. Every morning Skye had to listen to Esther go on and on about how her crush barely notices that she is a girl. On this morning however, Esther finally said she was going to do something about it.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-123.jpg
“….ok so let me get this straight. You are going to attack Jace with your lips next chance you get?” Skye asked as she walked behind her best friend to school.
“No silly, I said next party we will both get drunk and I will make out with him. Since he will be drunk too, that means he won’t reject my advances. The next day he will realize how much fun it was so he will ask me on a date. Then we will finally start dating.”
Skye almost wanted to burst out laughing, but she stopped herself. Esther was always crazy about Jace and she was always thinking of crazy ways to get him to like her more than a friend. She had learned to support her even though none of these ways would ever work.
“…erm..I guess that could work…..oh wow look at the time, I’m late for Biology!” Skye gasped.
As Skye began to run towards the outer buildings, Esther grinned. “You’ll see Skye!! In a week’s time Jace will be mine!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-124.jpg
“Cal I can’t believe you are turning sixteen on Friday. I can’t wait for you to see my gift. It’s amazing.”
“Jill anything you get me is amazing. I would be happy if you gave me nothing but your presence”
“Oh Cal....”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-125.jpg
“Man…remind me to bring a bag I can vomit into whenever I’m around you two. Are you aware you sound like some lame soap opera?”
The couple let go of each other and turned around.
“Jace you always know how to rovinare un momento”
“Congrats Cal you can speak Spanish, anyway…Jill I need to ask you something.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-126.jpg
“That was Italian.” Caleb muttered under his breath.
“What do you want Jace.” Jill sighed.
“I want you to throw a party for Cal on Friday so I can invite a cute girl I met at the beach.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-128.jpg
“Oh no, no,no. Jill and I have plans…of a romantic variety.”
“DUUUDE you two are doing the nasty?!”
“NO!!” both of them shouted at once.
“We were going to have a candle lit dinner and I was going to give Cal his present…which happens to be amazing.”
“SNORE! Come on! You are sixteen not sixty. Why not have a little fun on this momentous occasion?”
“Well first of all, turning sixteen is not that momentous for a guy and second, I don’t even have enough friends to fill my bedroom. This “party” will basically be like anytime we all hang out.”
“I could invite the soccer team…and you got the newspaper club. That’s like ten people right there. C’mon man I’ll owe you one I promise. I just really need a party to get to know this chick.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-127.jpg
“Cal maybe it’s not such a bad idea. We haven’t all had fun like that since the August.” Jill said as she thought about it for a moment.
“Alright fine! But no soccer team, half the guys on that team use me as a spitball target in History class. You can invite the girl, but I swear Jace if anything goes wrong it’s all on you.”
Jace hugged Caleb and Jill. “You guys rock!”
“Yeah yeah. Now if you’ll excuse us, we would like to continue Embrasser.”
Jace shook his head. “You and your strange languages.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-129.jpg
As Jace started walking to his next class, a door opened and Natalie walked out of a room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-130.jpg
“Oh wow hey Natalie. Small world, huh?”
“Hey Casanova “Natalie said as she flirtatiously smiled. She did in fact know Jace went here, as she searched his name on Facebook the night before.
At that moment the bell rang and students began to go to their next classes.
“Oh man I got to go, my Art teacher said if I’m late one more time I’m going to get a detention.”
“Art? Wait are you in room 201? Mrs. Greggor?”
“No way! You’re in that class too??”
Natalie smiled “Yeah! I’m one grade ahead in Art.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-133.jpg
As the two walked inside, Jace began to think that this was fate. How was it that a pretty girl like Natalie just happens to have so much in common with him?

By the end of class though…things changed. Jace had to listen for fourty minutes about how Natalie loves horses and boy bands. It was clear now that Natalie was just a pretty face and so not Jace’s type.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-134.jpg
“Yeah so then I fell off the horse and totally broke my nail. It was all nasty and bloody…”
“mhm yeah, well uh I gotta go….um get something from my locker.”
Natalie looked confused at Jace’s sudden disinterest. “oh...ok”

Jace was actually interested in another girl, Jade Williams. She was his crush before Natalie showed up, and now that Jace knew how…wrong Natalie was for him, he was back to crush number one.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-135.jpg
“Hey Jade, what’s up?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-137.jpg
Natalie looked on as Jace flirted with another girl practically in front of her.
Jill walked out of the classroom and saw what was going on. “Ouch…I’m guessing you’ve discovered by now that Jace is a player…huh?”
“Yeah..I guess he is, but I still like him for some reason. Maybe I should just keep trying. Wait…..who are you again?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-138.jpg
“Jill Tresier at your service. I happen to be pretty good friends with him and I may also have a solution to your problem.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-139.jpg
“Yup so you come to Cal’s party on Friday and you make your move. I could even distract little Miss Jade if you want.” Jill said deviously.
“My little troublemaker.”
“You guys are so cute. And that sounds like an awesome idea!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-140.jpg
“Raina..where is your brother??”
“You act like he’s my Siamese twin. I don’t follow him around all day.” Raina said with a slight attitude.
“It was a simple question, geez. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”
Jonny leaned in towards Raina. “Look I know you’re dad is pissing you off more and more, but you can’t let him control your life like this.” He whispered.
“Jonny not now”
Esther looked suspiciously at the two, but quickly forgot about them when she saw her other friends walk into the cafeteria“Hey look it’s Jill,Cal and…some chick”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-141.jpg
“Hey guys this is Natalie. She just moved here from San Fran.”
“Natalie, this is Esther, Skye, Raina and Jonny my brother.”
“Hi” she said with a small smile.
“Well sit down. I wanna know everything about you.” Skye said as she pulled a chair out.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-142.jpg
“..yup so basically I’m living with my older brother and his girlfriend by Coral beach.”
“Fascinating, we go there all the time. Well actually I go there and sit on the sand while everyone goes in the water. You see I’m afraid of swimming and the cooler temperatures of the…”
Jill put her hand over Caleb’s mouth.
“Cal tends to ramble…..a lot.”
Natalie laughed; she really liked this group. Skye was very friendly, Jill was just plain cool, Jonny was funny, Raina was sweet and Caleb was…interesting. The only person who didn’t say a word was Esther. Before Natalie could ask her what was up, the bell rang.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-143.jpg
“I like her.”
“Yeah me too, I hope her and Jace work out on Friday.”
“Speaking of him, look who just walked in.”
As soon as Natalie saw him, she ran over to talk to him. Esther followed behind scowling; she was going to do the same thing.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-144.jpg
“Hey so here’s my number, Call me tonight ok?.” Natalie said hoping she didn’t sound too desperate.
Esther rolled her eyes and went to go look for Skye.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-145.jpg
As soon as she left the Caf, Esther ran towards the lockers.“Skye!!!” she yelled.
“Whoa , what? You are so loud!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-146.jpg
“That…girl whatever her name is..”
“Natalie”
“Yeah whatever. She likes Jace! I saw her giving her number to him like some desperate slut just now. What do we do about her??”
“Hey don’t be like that, Natalie is a nice girl. So what if she likes him? If you don’t make a move then someone else will. Are you just going to hate every girl he likes? Don’t be so pathetic.”
“Pa..pathetic…me???”
Skye sighed and walked towards the stairs. Esther was obviously about to have a tantrum.
“Skye get back here!!”


Later that night, Jace realized what kind of situation he was in. Two girls like him, but he only liked one of them. It was time to ask someone for advice, and that someone was..
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-177.jpg
“Dearest sister of mine, I have come to ask for…..advice”
“YOU came to ME for advice??”
-sigh- “Yes Raina, I’ve come to you for girl advice”
Raina stopped laughing. “…ok what’s….haha. whats the problem”
“Ok well Natalie likes me and I really don’t see her that way. I like Jade way more and I want her to come to the party on Friday so I can make a move. The problem is that I led Natalie on, because I thought she was hot and now she’s also coming to the party.”
“Wow when you screw up, you really screw up. Obviously you need to call Natalie and tell her how you feel. You can’t just lead a girl on like that, it will make you look like an ass.”
“Really? Just call?...I thought I would get better advice.”
Raina slapped Jace on the forehead. “No idiot! And by the way liking a girl because they are hot? Way to be a typical guy.”

“Hey…uh Natalie?”
It was her voicemail.
“So..um…It’s Jace I just wanted to let you know that on Friday I’m bringing my friend Jade. I’m really sorry, but uh I hope we can still talk?”
Raina shook her head. This was so not going to end well.
“Right..erm…well bye.”
Raina started to laugh uncontrollably. “wow you are so smooth”.
Jace grinned and grabbed a pillow. “Shutup!!”
Raina grabbed one as well. “Oh no you don’t!!”

At that moment, Sid came into the room. Raina stopped immediately and glared at him. As he had done so many times in the last few weeks, Sid ignored her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-180.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-181.jpg
“Jace I’m going out for a drink with a friend. You know work stuff. Mom’s working late so just make sure the house is locked up before you go to bed.”
“Yeah sure dad.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-184.jpg
“I don’t get how a surgeon like dad always has free time and mom, who is just a normal doctor always has to work late…eh anyway, where were we?”
“GET OUT” Raina said shakily as tears started rolling down her face.
“Ray..what’s wrong?”
“I said get out…please.”
Jace shrugged and walked out of the room. On the way out he muttered “must be on her period”. Normally Raina would snap at him, but this time she didn’t care. Once again her father was out with that woman and there was nothing Raina could do to stop it.

“Why won’t it all stop?” she tearfully whispered.

The next few days were tough. If it wasn’t for Jonny, Raina would totally drown the whole world out. The party helped too because Raina was looking forward to something fun in her life, as was Jonny. In fact everyone was looking forward to the party, especially Esther, who spent the night before looking for the perfect outfit to surprise Jace.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-202.jpg
“Esther are you done yet?! It’s already nine and my dad is going to be here any second. He was already mad that I blew him off to go shopping with you.”
“Alright geez. I’m just putting on my earrings. Just give me five more minutes.”
“This better be good!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-203.jpg
“you need to relax…..anyway…”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-204.jpg
“…how do I look?”
Skye jumped up from the floor in shock.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-194.jpg
Skye started laughing before she could say a word. “…you look like , excuse my language, but a whore!! You can’t go to the party looking like that.”
“Skye you need to relax. I’m only doing this so Jace will notice me over that stupid whatsherface.”
“Natalie….why don’t you like her? She’s been hanging out with us all week and she’s like the sweetest girl I’ve ever met.”
“Because she’s fake and she’s trying to get with Jace. I’m not going to let that happen.”
“You need to..

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Esther’s mother was on the other side. “Skye?? Your dad is here to pick you up. Can I come in?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-196.jpg
“crap…hand me that hoodie” Esther frantically whispered to Skye. Her mother definitely could not see her like this. “Just a minute mom!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-197.jpg
“What are you girls doing exactly? And why do you look so dressed up Esther?” Fiona Trescott asked as she observed her daughter.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-199.jpg
“Err…we were just admiring this poster and as for the makeup well uh...”
“It’s just us playing dress up!” Skye said as she let out a nervous laugh.
“….oh well OK, Skye your father is in the living room.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-200.jpg
“See you tomorrow in school Es”
“Thanks for the save” Esther whispered into her friend’s ear.
“Bye Fiona”
“Goodbye sweetie”
As Skye left, Fiona looked down at Esther’s shoes.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-205.jpg
“Oh hon, don’t you think I would notice my own high heels? Next time you want to wear them just ask. Now give them back”

It was finally the day of the party. Natalie was still apprehensive about how things were going to go down and how well Jill’s plan would work, but she went along with it anyway.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-1932.jpg
-sigh- “Jace!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-1942.jpg
“..Oh hey Nat, um if this is about me ignoring you all week, I’m really sorry. You see I was just busy with um homework and stuff, I haven’t really seen anyone really…”
“It’s not and I understand. I just wanted to let you know that I’m cool with you bring Jade tonight. I hope we can still be friends” Natalie said with a big cheesy grin.
There was an awkward silence and Jace finally said something“…oh well. Uh cool…”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-1982.jpg
“That was really hard…” Natalie whispered to herself as she walked towards the girls room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-2012.jpg
“so did he buy it??”
“I think so…it was kind of awkward.”
“That’s ok, at least now he won’t avoid you the whole time.”
“I still don’t get this plan of yours.”
“You don’t have to, now let’s go find Cal. He could probably give you a ride home so you can change for the party. You know to impress Jace” Jill said with a little wink.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-2022.jpg
“Finally!! Don’t you know I have to get home to set up for the party??”
“Sorry Cal, we had to put plan “Jatalie” into motion”
“Wow!! You’re dad really bought you this car for your birthday?!”Natalie yelled in awe.
“Oh right I forgot I was the only one to see it. Yeah Cal’s parents are mega rich. Last year he got an alien ware laptop for his birthday.”
“They are NOT mega rich, more like financially comfortable.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-2042.jpg
“Yeah yeah. I’ll see you guys later, I have to wait for Jonny to get out of comic book club. And Natalie?”
“Yeah?”
“Wear something hot but not too slutty, Jace likes that sort of stuff.”

[Karasu20]

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-228.jpg
“Ok ok the party starts in like half an hour, im freaking out jill. I don’t want my parents to come home to find crap broken or torn or…ahhhh”
“Hon you need to calm down, I’m here and no one is drinking. You did hide your parents liquor right?”
“Yes…. But still I hope Jace didn’t invite too many people.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-225.jpg
“I still can’t believe you are dressed like that. You do realize that most of the people here are nerds right? Cal is like the nerd king.”
“Yeah so? I like being looked at”
“Whatever it’s your body” Skye said as she rolled her eyes. She knew nothing good would come of this party.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-229.jpg
When Skye and Esther walked in, they realized that most of the party was there already. Music was playing and people were having fun, but when they walked in everyone got silent.
“Wow Esther you look…um…”
“It’s ok Jonny I know I look hot.”
“umm yeah sure, hey Skye lets go over there”
“Right behind ya” Skye hastily said. She didn’t want to witness Esther throwing herself at Jace the minute he walked in.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-230.jpg
“Hey Jace what’s up?”
“Yo Esther.”
Esther batted her eyes and tried to look flirty “So um what do you think?”
“Hey Nat you came!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-231.jpg
“Hey Jace…..um Esther”
“um excuse me Jace and I were in the middle of talking and you just…”
“Ethan man you showed!!!” Jace yelled as he shoved past Natalie, who looked equally as disappointed as Esther.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-233.jpg
“Way to look like a wannabe loser”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-234.jpg
“Way to dress like a slut. Oh and using the L sign really? What are you five??”
“At least I look good. You on the other hand look like a secretary.”
As the two rivals started to argue. Trouble was brewing on the other side of the living room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-235.jpg
“Man what a lame ass party. I forgot that this is fat harry potters house. No wonder there are so many freaks here”
“yeah tell me about it babe. That girl over there has pigtails…gross”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-236.jpg
“Hey guys I know Jace invited you, but this happens to be my house. So no funny business ok?”
Cassie looked at couple and snickered. “No problem, by the way how did YOU end up with a girlfriend? You dating him cuz he’s rich or what French girl?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m not a Neanderthal like your boyfriend?”
Jill grabbed Caleb’s arm. “Caleb it’s not worth it…”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-238.jpg
“You better watch yourself a**hole. You’re lucky I’m trying to be nice for Jace’s sake, because if I wasn’t, your ass would be through that glass right now. C’mon babe lets go find some food”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-241.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-242.jpg
“Remind me to thank Jace for the wonderful people he brought tonight.”
“I think I’ll help you “thank him”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-239.jpg
“What the….”
“Um Jace why is there a hooker here?”
“What?... oh that’s just Esther being herself. No worries.”
Natalie laughed as Esther turned around and angrily walked inside the house.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-240.jpg
“Esther! I thought you were going to show me once and for all that Jace likes you?” Natalie called.
“Shut the hell up!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-243.jpg
“Jill he’s totally flirting with Jade out there. I thought you said you would help.”
“I know Nat, I’m sorry but I have to watch those two jerks in case they try to f*** up caleb’s house. Just wait till Jace is alone that’s all.”
“Fine” Natalie muttered as she walked over to a couch and sat down.

Outside a guest was showing up very late.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-244.jpg
Raina Loukas had, once again, been having problems at home. She was hoping to forget about everything tonight and for that to happen she needed booze and lots of it.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-245.jpg
Two of Caleb’s friends started running towards the door. “Oh my goodness it’s already 10:00, my mom is going to kill me!!” one of them frantically yelled.
Raina walked into the house as if she were a ghost. She didn’t even answer when Jill said hello. She only had one thing on her mind.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-247.jpg
“Perfect”

At around eleven the party finally started to die down. Mostly everyone had left, even Ethan and Cassie, who took 4 bottles of soda with them. At this point Natalie was getting annoyed that Jace was STILL talking to Jade.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-249.jpg
“Jill what the hell? I’ve been waiting for like an hour. What should I do?”
“Nat Im sorry you have to figure that out on your own. I didn’t even get to give my boyfriend his present yet. All I’ve been doing all night is watch his house. Now can I please get a little space??” Jill snapped.
“Whatever! It was your idea to do this. I might as well leave.”

-sigh-“Nat I’m sorry, it’s just been an annoying night. This party sucked, there was no cake, no one sang happy birthday and it lasted like four hours.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-255.jpg
“It’s ok Jill, just go talk to Cal. I’ll see you on Monday.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-258.jpg
“Cal I’m so sorry. This must’ve been the worst birthday ever.”
“Are you kidding? I threw a party, I never throw parties. It was something I’ve never done before and I liked it.”
“Well would you still want to go upstairs so I can finally give you the present?”
“Yes!!! I almost forgot.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-207.jpg
“What?? When did you hide it in my room?”
“During the party duh”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-208.jpg
“Now open it”
Caleb walked over to his dresser and started unwrapping.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-211.jpg
“Holy….is this a…oh wow it is!! A real professional video camera”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-212.jpg
“I LOVE YOU!!!”
“haha I’m glad something went right on your birthday.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-252.jpg
“Hey Jace have you seen your sister?”
Jace and Jade were too self involved to even hear him.
“ok…then I’ll just check upstairs…geez”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-214.jpg
“Finally….Raina what are you doing? Why have you been MIA all night?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-215.jpg
“go…away” Raina mumbled from under her arm. Clearly she had spent the last two hours drinking in self pity.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-213.jpg
“Ah…drinking your sorrow away I guess?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-220.jpg
“Raina you really need to stop doing this. What happened with your father…it sucks, but it wasn’t your fault.”
“Yeah? Then why did I have to know? I wish I never came home that night, I wish I kept living life thinking he’s the greatest dad in the world.
-sigh-“maybe the same reason I have to know about Kari’s drug problem. I guess good people like us have to run into trouble at some point. The main thing though Ray…we shouldn’t let this affect the way we live our lives. We are not in the wrong…they are.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-223.jpg
“Maybe we should start having fun again….instead of just wallowing in self pity”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-226.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-227.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-251.jpg
“Skye…finally. I’ve been waiting for you all night. What were you doing?”
“Just cleaning up a bit, I don’t know where everyone went.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-254.jpg
“So I’m guessing you had no luck with Jace right?”
“ugh no… that parasite has been on him all night. Can we just go home?”

“Jace I’ll be right with you, I just need to go to the bathroom.”
“Alright I’ll be by the pool.”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-260.jpg
“Go on ahead…I think I just found my chance”
-sigh-“I hope you know what you are doing Es”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-261.jpg
“Jace…”
“Oh hey Es…”

At that moment Esther did something she had been dreaming of for a very long time now. In her mind things would end like a fairytale romance, but in reality….
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-262.jpg
“Whoah!! What the hell are you doing??”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-263.jpg
“C’mon Jace you know it’s meant to be. We’ve been friends forever, don’t you think we should move forward in our relationship?”Esther said in a very desperate tone.
“Esther…have you been drinking?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-264.jpg
“No…I just thought...”
“I don’t like you that way and I never will. Honestly you come off way too strong and it’s kind of scary. And can’t you see I like Jade? What makes you think I would ditch her for someone like….you”
Esther’s heart broke into a million pieces as she heard those words. “I…” she didn’t know what else to say, so she ran.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-265.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-267.jpg
“One bimbo down…” Natalie thought to herself.
“Jace I found hotdogs!!” Jade yelled as she shoved past a very happy Natalie.
“Awesome!...I’m starved”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%204/Screenshot-268.jpg
“…one more to go”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whew! Well there you have it. The last chapter for a long time. I'm really going to try to post another chapter in October(when im home for four days), but im not promising anything.

Anyway. It would be great if everyone filled out this survey =). It would really help me out.

Favorite character:
Least favorite:
Tips on improving my writing?:
Story lines that i should drop?:

Who should Jace be with? (just for fun lol):

[hungryhippo]

Favorite character: Raina and Natalie. Raina because of how hard her dad's affair is affecting her, and Natalie because I love schemers lol
Least: Esther seems a bit desperate lol and... Caleb... just something about him
Tips: Not much just sometimes when there's multiple characters its hard to know who's saying what but it's nothing major, just keep going and it'll improve, you have your own style so you should stick with it.
Don't drop any storylines continue developing what you have. My favorite being Raina being depressed and drinking, and Jonny's secret about Kari... and Jonny and Raina, I like their friendship

Natalie...

[Karasu20]

Thanks!

I'm glad you like the direction I'm going with Raina. I wasn't going to at first, but it just sort of happened. Same thing with Natalie xD

[Karasu20]

Hey guys!

Just a quick update. I will be home next week for 6 days so i'll definitely try to make the next chapter.

All I need to do is either build a mall or find one that won't make my game extremely laggy -___-.

[Karasu20]

Yay it's back!! =D

Sorry if this chapter seems a bit rushed. I only had three days to do it. I just really wanted to get another chapter in since it seems like this story gets a lot of views(i hope!!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was once again very late at night. Jonny had just fallen asleep, his mind full of thoughts, but mostly they were thoughts about his half-sister. Kari Tresier is a drug addict. She would lie to her family about going somewhere and then come home at dawn looking like a wreck. Jonny was the only one who knew and the only one who covered for her. It’s been three months since he found out and he was used to hearing her come in.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-193.jpg
*CRASH*
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-195.jpg
Jonny immediately woke up at the sound of trash cans falling over”Oh man not again”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-197.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-199.jpg
“Kari is that you?” He asked in the dark backyard. There was no answer so he walked further and saw something that angered him.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-201.jpg
His older sister had collapsed outside the house. Once again Jonny had to carry her into the house and hide her in his room until she woke up.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-202.jpg
His parents wouldn’t suspect a thing because she usually told them she was sleeping over Sade’s house.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-203.jpg
But Jonny knew that wasn’t true, because Sade dropped her as a friend when she got fed up with the lying and the drugs. No instead she was out partying and doing who knows what.
As he layed her on his bed like he had done so many times before, he began to think that maybe it was time for this game to come to an end.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-204.jpg
“Maybe it’s time to tell the parents” Jonny said out loud. He was tired of having this burden and tired of covering for someone who obviously would never stop. His only problem was….how was this going to happen?

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-223.jpg
“Can you guys hurry up??”
“Jace we are girls, learn to deal with our shopping addiction.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-206.jpg
“Babe just go pick out some clothes….ok Nat how do I look? Is this good for the winter dance?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-207.jpg
“Totally, Jace Is lucky to have you” Natalie said with a hint of fake in her voice. For weeks now her and Jade have been hanging out and are practically best friends….at least that’s what Jade thinks.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-208.jpg
“Ok I found something. I’m going to go try this on and then can we please go eat? We’ve been here for like four hours.”
“Yes I promise” Jade said as she kissed Jace on the cheek.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-211.jpg
“You’ve got to be kidding me”
“What is it Nat?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-212.jpg
“No f***ing way. It’s the stalker…AGAIN”
“Jade we can just grab Jace and sneak out the other door. She won’t ever see us.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-213.jpg
“Screw that, If this bitch thinks she can get away with stalking my boyfriend she can forget it. No, I’m going to end this right now.”
Jade went and paid for her outfit and then left the store.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-214.jpg
“You”
Esther turned around and glared at Jade.”I have a name you know, it’s kinda rude to just go up to someone and say “you” "
“Don’t be a smart ass. I know exactly what you’re doing.
“…yeah I’m shopping with my dad, he’s actually parking…”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-215.jpg
“Cut the crap bitch!! I know you’re stalking my boyfriend. I’ve seen you at least five times in the past week wherever we go.”
“Excuse me? I’m sorry I thought this was a free country where I can go wherever I please”
“PLEASE!! I know you’re obsessed with him. You tried to force yourself on him a month ago and he rejected you. Stop being so pathetic and leave us alone!”
At that point Natalie walked outside with a small smile on her face.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-216.jpg
“Oh wow what a surprise. Of course sluts always travel in groups.”
Natalie burst out in laughter “So the person who dressed like a whore at Caleb’s party and tried to force herself on a guy is calling someone a slut”
“You are just jealous because Jace chose your so called best friend over here instead of you”
Before the two could retort, Esther’s father walked over from the entrance of the mall.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-217.jpg
“Esther…I’m ready to go to the apple store now.” He called.
“Saved by daddy” Jade maliciously whispered to Natalie who then preceded to laugh out loud.
“Just a minute dad”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-218.jpg
Natalie walked behind Esther. “You better believe this isn’t over bitch” she whispered into her ear.
Esther walked away confidently, but deep down inside she knew she was messing with the wrong girls and definitely putting herself in a crappy situation.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-219.jpg
“I just can’t believe how pathetic she is. I mean does she really think that Jace would leave me for someone like her?”
“Yeah seriously, she is a freak.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-220.jpg
“Hey what did I miss?” Jace said as he walked out of the store.
“Nothing just girl talk”
“Right well then let’s get to the food court….”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-222.jpg
“…I’m starving”


It was noon. Yuna had gone to the gym, Kari was passed out upstairs and Jill was holed up in her room talking to Caleb on the webcam. Jonny thought it was a great time to tell his father about Kari. Especially since he would be the one to actually help, unlike Yuna, who despises Kari.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-224.jpg
-sigh-“Dad….we need to talk”
Jean put down his book.”Sure son, sit down”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-225.jpg
“What I’m about to tell you…it’s big. “Jonny stuttered.
“Well out with it then. It’s always better to come right out and say things rather then keep them bottled up inside” Jean said with a smile on his face.
Jonny looked away and began to tell him everything.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-232.jpg
Kari grumbled as she walked out into the hallway. She was definitely beginning to feel the effects from the last night.
“Finally!! Kari I really need to ask you a favor”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-234.jpg
“Ok so Cal and I are doing a news piece about gifted students at Hillwood. Today we are going to interview Sade, you know since she’s a musician and everything. So I was thinking if we can interview you tomorrow? We don’t have any aspiring models lined up, and it would add diversity to the piece”
Kari nodded.”Yeah…sure…” she slowly said as she struggled now to throw up on Jill’s shoes.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-237.jpg
“Great! You are the best sister ever. I’ll see you later tonight.”
As Jill ran downstairs, Kari ran to the bathroom.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-240.jpg
“Morning dad…..Jonny”
Jean and Jonny looked at each other and nodded. They then followed Kari into the kitchen.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-226.jpg
“Why are you guys following me? And do we have any bacon..I would…”
Jean stepped forward. ”Kari I know about everything”
At these words Kari immediately glared at Jonny. “So what you told him?! I told you I have it under control!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-227.jpg
“Yeah? Is passing out next to the house every night what you call under control??”
“I don’t need to hear this, I’m out of here!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-228.jpg
“Kari stop…we are trying to help you. You have to accept it….I don’t want to see you end up like your mother, so please let’s just sit down and talk.
Kari thought about her drug addict mother and how she died from an overdose when Kari was only twelve years old. She burst into tears.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-229.jpg
“Oh dad….I’m so sorry….”
“It’s ok…it’s ok.”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2262.jpg
Natalie fiddled with her straw as her and Jade sat in the quiet café. She was wondering if this plan of hers was going to work, but she figured it was still worth a shot.
“So…um where did Jace run off to?”
“Oh well he had to go write a paper for English or something, I don’t really pay attention to what he says, hah ha.”
Natalie smirked, finally Jade was showing her true colors.
“Oh?” Natalie said as she reached underneath the table and turned a recorder on.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2242.jpg
“Well I mean come on. I’m only dating him because he’s a star athlete. It does wonders for my reputation.”
“What you don’t like anything about him?”
Jade scoffed. “He’s shorter than me for one and second his friends are total losers. Haven’t you noticed I only want to be seen with him where people from our school go? He tries to get me to sit with his friends at lunch, but that would be social suicide.”
“What don’t you like about his friends?”
“Wow where to start. Jonny and Jill are just plain weird,I mean Jill looks like Michael Jackson half the time and Jonny is always making corny ass jokes. Caleb is honestly the biggest nerd I have ever seen. His clothes are dreadful, it's like his mother still shops for him, how he has a girlfriend or even friends for that matter is beyond me. Raina may be Jace's sister but she obviously got the ugly gene and probably the alcoholic gene. Esther....well you know how I feel about Esther."
“..wow you sure don’t sugar coat things. Speaking of Esther I actually have something to tell you about her.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2272.jpg
“I’m listening”
“…well…erm well I really don’t know how to say this, it’s really over the top….ok. I saw Esther yesterday taking pictures of Jace and then I saw her pick up a tissue he used. I thought that she was going to throw it away or something but I then saw her put it into a book.”
Jade began to get very angry.”…what?!”
“I know she’s a total freak. I told you she’s a stalker.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2292.jpg
“Where are you going?”
“Where do you think? I have to warn Jace about her. I may not like him that way, but NOONE messes with my relationships, even if it is fake.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2312.jpg
Natalie smiled. She finally had everything she needed to get rid of Esther and Jade.
------------------------------------------
To be concluded in part 2!

[Karasu20]

It was almost dinner time and Kari had been sitting down with Yuna and her father for over an hour. They were discussing ….options.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-244.jpg
“Well honey I don’t see any other way. Rehab would be the best fit for you.”
Kari began to tear up. “But I won’t be able to finish my senior year…and what about modeling…and my friends?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-246.jpg
Yuna glared at Kari “You threw all that away when you started doing drugs. Did you really think you could graduate high school with your terrible grades? Hah! In your dreams. As for modeling, your not that pretty I’m afraid.”
“Yuna!! Stop it!”
Kari began to sob.”No it’s fine dad…I’m actually glad I get to leave this place, I won’t have to deal with this witch anymore”
“Must you always start an argument Yuna??Isn’t it hard enough for her as it is?!” Jean said as his daughter began to storm out of the kitchen.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-247.jpg
“Hi”
-sniff-“hi”
“Listen I’m sorry Kari, I had no other choice”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-248.jpg
Kari began to cry again. “Jonny…I never meant for you to get involved…I’m so sorry”
The two siblings hugged. At long last this nightmare was over.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-273.jpg
“I really hope Jade isn’t there” Esther nervously thought to herself. The last thing she needed was a cheerleader starting a war with her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-275.jpg
Before Esther got to the door, Jace strolled right out. “Esther…what…”
“ Look I just wanted to talk to you, please just listen.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-276.jpg
“I’m sorry about Cal’s party and I’m sorry for making you think I was stalking you. I really wasn’t, I was just trying to apologize, but Jade was always there.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-278.jpg
“It’s fine Esther really, now can we just talk later? I have to meet Jade.”
“Ok can we…”
“UNBELIEVABLE!!!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-280.jpg
“Get away from her!!”
“Jade what are you doing?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-282.jpg
-SLAP-
“Get out of here you psycho!!!”
Jace grabbed his girlfriends arm. “Have you gone completely crazy?!”
Esther rubbed her now red face and tears began to form, but she tried to hide them. “What was…that for?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-283.jpg
“You are a stalker!! Natalie told me about your little notebook and how you keep tabs on Jace!”
“What?....I didn’t do that!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-284.jpg
“So you come here with a fake apology to what.... gain my trust? So you can somehow become my girlfriend? Get help Esther. I don’t like you and I never will!”
“wow…you know what? I’m done!! Believe this skank I don’t care”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-285.jpg
“I can’t believe you were ever friends with her”
Jace started to walk into his house. “Yeah me either”

The next afternoon It was time for Kari to leave for the recovery center in Nevada. The whole family had gethered in the living room to see her of, except Jill of course. Kari didn’t have the heart to tell her she couldn’t make it to the interview or leaving the state.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-249.jpg
“Well this is it I guess…”
Noone said a word.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-250.jpg
“Bye dad…”
-sniff-“Goodbye Hikari, I’ll call every night ok?”
Kari let go of her dad and kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you…for everything”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-255.jpg
As she walked past Yuna the most she could do was give her a little smile, which was reciprocated.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-251.jpg
“It will be ok, she’s only twenty minutes late.”
“Yeah well I’m gunna try calling her again..”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-253.jpg
“Kari this is my second message. I thought I told you to meet me at the square at six. Cal and I have been waiting here for half an hour already. Please call back!”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-256.jpg
Kari walked into her sisters room while her phone rang. She began to cry when she saw that it was her sister calling.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-258.jpg
She threw a note onto the bed.”Here’s everything I couldn’t say in person sis”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-259.jpg
“Bye Jonny…and listen, tell Jill I’m sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. I’ll call her.”
“No problem Kar, good luck. I know you can get better” Jonny said with a tearful smile.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-260-1.jpg
Even though she put him through so much, Jonny was really going to miss Kari. She was always there for him, even if she was stoned half the time.

An hour later Jill finally came home……and she was very angry. “Kari!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-263.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-264.jpg
“Jill wait…”
“I can’t talk now, I have to go yell at Kari. She made us wait for an hour! We were standing in the square for an hour doing nothing!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-266.jpg
Jonny slowly walked into the room and saw Jill sprawled out on her bed looking at the note.
“I’m sorry Jill……”
“So she’s gone? Just like that?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-267.jpg
“She had problems…she needed to go….to…”
“Oh please…I know she was an addict, I have eyes.”
“So you knew the whole time? Why didn’t you try to talk to her?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-269.jpg
Jill turned around ,grabbed her brother and let it all out“Because….I never thought it would end this way. I thought she was just messing around…being a normal seventeen year old. I thought she was just trying drugs, I thought she was curious, I thought…..”
“Shh It’s ok, It’s all over now”
Jill cleared her throat and wiped her face. “can you just go? I…need to be alone”
"um...sure"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-271.jpg
“I’ll be next door if you need me”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-272.jpg
“Yeah but you’re not Kari” Jill tearfully whispered to herself.


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2233.jpg
“Hey babe” Jade said as she strolled up to her boyfriend. She leaned in for a kiss, which was…
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2244.jpg
“Um do I have cooties or something? What was that for?”
“You sure you wanna kiss me? I mean no ones in the hallway or anything, you know since you only want to be with me when other people are around to see.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2263.jpg
“Wha…what?”
“I know what you said about me and my friends ok. Natalie was recording you yesterday.”
“…I…don’t know what to say.” Jade stammered as her anger grew within her.
“Yeah well I say that we are over, so get lost.”
Jade pushed past her now ex-boyfriend and ran to find Natalie, her so called “best friend”.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2293.jpg
“How could you do that to me?!
Natalie laughed.”Oh…so Jace finally dumped your sorry ass, that was pretty quick I only showed him that recording this morning. Well you see, It was actually my plan all along. I knew you were a shallow bitch from the moment I met you. You really think I would let you trash Jace and not tell him about it? Also those “losers” he hangs out with also happen to be MY friends so you screwed up there too. In short I was never friends with you, I was only waiting for you to show your true colors and then use it against you. I guess my plan worked”
“Yeah and what was the point of dragging Esther into it?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2313.jpg
“Well I just don’t like her so I thought to myself, why not kill two birds with one stone? So I dragged her into my little plan and it worked out perfectly. I can be with Jace and the both of you will be…well I honestly don’t care”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2323.jpg
“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get to Biology which by the way is the same class that Jace is in. I’ll be sure to sit next to him. Ta-ta”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2342-1.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2352.jpg
“Hey there beautiful”
Jill turned around and nodded at Cal. At which point he pulled out purple flowers.
“I’m sorry to hear about your sister. Hopefully these flowers can brighten your day?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2362.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2372.jpg
Jill gave them back to her boyfriend. “Thanks Cal, but I’m really not in the mood for any of that…….I’ll see you around”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Episode%205/Screenshot-2382.jpg

just a warning: this chapter contains mild drug use.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a Tuesday night and best friends Esther and Skye were doing what they always did: study and gossip. This night however, Skye was drowning out the world due to the incredible workload she received.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/2.jpg
“…and then Jace just shoved past me like I was a noboby.” Esther angrily said as she surfed the internet. It’s been a month and two weeks since the blowout between Esther and Jace, but Jace was still not ready to forgive and forget, which made Esther very mad.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/3.jpg
“Mhm” Skye said as she half listened to her friends whining.
Esther slammed the laptop shut. “Ok I can tell when I’m not wanted.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/5.jpg
“Are you even listening to me? Here I am upset that everyone is mad at me, and the only person who will still talk to me is not even talking!!”
Skye sighed.”Esther I’m sorry that you are going through this crap, but I have so much to do for tomorrow. I have to start planning recycle day, study for a math test, write my History paper, and do more environment club stuff. So it would be really nice if you could just leave me alone. I promise we can talk about this after Saturday.”
“ugh. No one asked you to take over environment club and it’s your own fault for putting off studying!” Esther snapped as she began to walk out of the room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/6.jpg
“By the way you are looking a little washed out maybe you should relax!”-SLAM-
“Screw you!” Skye yelled as she jumped off her bed.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/8.jpg
“At least I’m getting somewhere in life.”



http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/20.jpg
RINNNGG
“Hello?”
“For the fifth time, she is not here! So stop calling, Cal.” Jonny yelled into the phone as he hung up.
Ever since Kari’s departure, Jill had been taking midnight strolls through the city. During the day she would talk to as little people as possible and then come home to look at old pictures. Jonny knew she was depressed, but he just didn’t know what to do. Not even Caleb could get through to her, especially since she was ignoring him too.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/10.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/12.jpg
*Hey it’s Kari…It’s 2009 you know how these things work BEEP*
“So much for keeping in touch” Jill sighed.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/1.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/13.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/9.jpg


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/14.jpg
“I’m sorry Skye, but I can’t give you special treatment. The assignment will be due on Friday for everyone. I suggest you start today”
“..but I have so much stuff to do. I cant write a five page paper in 2 days! Please Mr. Harris….it’s not like I’m making excuses. I have to do environment club things…”
“Well I’m sorry Ms. Bailey, that's what the real world is like. This isn't junior high anymore.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/15.jpg
Skye glared at Mr. Harris as she walked out of the room “Whatever….asshole”
At that moment she saw Darby Fredricks, the VP of the Environment club, standing by the windows.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/16.jpg
“Darby! I need you to help me out with Environment club tonight. I couldn’t get an extension on my history assignment so I could really use the help filling out those forms for Recycle day.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/17.jpg
“um….I have a date tonight I can’t make it.”
“But you’re the vice president!”
“Yeah, but Megan always took care of everything.The most I did was hand out flyers.”
“Well I’m sorry that she decided to move to Florida and put me in charge. I can’t do everything, I’m not a machine, you are vice president for this reason. Take over tonight or I will go to the principal and tell him to fire you!!!” Skye yelled maliciously.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/19.jpg
“….alright jeez. There’s no need to get angry. This is a high school club, not the army……bitch” Darby said under her breath as she walked away.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/21.jpg
“Man you should be a drill sergeant. You really put that girl in her place. So admirable”
Skye glared at the stranger. “Who the hell are you? Your sarcasm isn’t funny, get over yourself”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/22.jpg
“Jeez someone needs to live a little….duhhhh”
Skye pushed him away “Get away from me jerk”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/25.jpg


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-279.jpg
“Ok..you could do this” Cal whispered
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-280.jpg
“Hey..Jill”
Jill looked up at her boyfriend. “Hi…
“So um…wanna talk later? We haven’t hung out all Christmas break”
Jill wanted to say yes, but she just wasn’t in the mood for anyone right now. Kari left a void that couldn’t be helped by anyone…not even Cal.
“…no…Cal I have to be honest. In the past three weeks I’ve just been thinking…”
“About what?” Cal nervously said.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-282.jpg
Jill slammed her locker close “I…just need a break…I’m sorry”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-284.jpg

“Yes mom I’ll be home on time today. I just need to do some stuff for school…”
“Mom relax,it’s only three! I’ll be home by six…bye”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/27.jpg
Skye closed her phone and walked outside“Ew what is that?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/28.jpg
“Well…if it isn’t the sarcastic clown of Hillwood. I guess you’re a pothead too? Nice to know”
The boy took another hit from his joint “The name is Ray..princess”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/29.jpg
“Want some?”
Skye looked at the joint.”No thanks…I have stuff to do. My name is Skye by the way.”
“Ah c’mon, you look stressed. Way too stressed for a freshman. This can calm you down you know.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/30.jpg
“Who says I don’t like doing all this work? Unlike…you. I want to get somewhere in life.”
Ray laughed.”Well for one you look really tired and two you basically bit that girls head off before. By the way I'm a junior taking AP courses and when I graduate I'm going to pre-med. Smart people aren’t always stuck up.”
Skye took the joint from Ray.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/31.jpg
“Whoa…what a rebel”
Skye took a hit and smiled.”I’ll show you stuck up”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-285.jpg
"I didn't know you were a baseball fan"
“Cal…”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-286.jpg
“No I’m not going to leave and …you’re going to tell me what’s really going on”
At that moment Jill began to cry. It was like every emotion she held in for 3 weeks suddenly wanted to spill out.
“It’s ok…it’s ok”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-288.jpg
Jill began to feel anger again“No….it’s not. Cal don’t you understand?! Kari left me! She knew it would destroy me and she did it anyway. Instead of coming to me for help with her addiction she decided to skip town without even telling me! She thought a stupid note on my bed would fix everything!”

“I know…it’s just….I don’t even know what to say. I didn’t realize how close you were to your step sister.”
“Yeah well just because we only met six years ago doesn’t mean that we aren’t close. If you really want to know why we are this way then sit and listen."

To be continued in part 2.

It will be posted either late tonight or tomorrow morning.

“Ok…I’m starting to feel really weird…Is it just me or did that subway ride totally amplify EVERYTHING?!”
“Just you dude.” Ray said as he looked across the street. “So you really wanna have some fun?”
“Duh!! that’s why I just smoked two joints with a complete stranger hahahahaha”
“Let’s go dance on that stage over there…where those street performers are playing”
"You're on, I'll race you!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-250.jpg
“Told you I would beat ya!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-246.jpg
“Oh man I can’t believe we are doing this”
“Relax Skye, just dance!!” Ray said as he pushed Skye forward.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-247.jpg
“WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-296.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-297.jpg
“Jean you are irresponsible! I told you to never speak to that woman again!!”
“I told you! She is dying and she needs us to take care of the girl!”
“You mean your daughter you kept from me since before we got engaged? How can you expect me to be calm about this?!”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-300.jpg
“Kari this is your step mother, Yuna”
Yuna glared at the young girl as she walked out of the house. “I’ll be back in a week” She said coldly.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-301.jpg


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-302.jpg
“So um..why does your mom hate me?”
“She doesn’t…she’s just in a bad mood since her and my daddy are fighting”
Kari looked inside and saw the two at it again.Just like they had been all month.
“I know they are fighting about me, I hear them talking at night. It’s not my fault my mom died and I got sent to live here. I didn’t even know I had a dad until a month ago.”
“It’s ok…my mommy will get over it. Besides you have a cool sister now and a brother..when he gets back from summer camp.”
At that moment Yuna stormed out of the house in a fit of rage.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-304.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-305.jpg
“I wish they would stop!!” Jill tearfully yelled.
“That’s it we are getting out of here. Follow me”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-306.jpg
“Wow I never knew an eleven year old that could take the train before” Jill said with awe.
“I guess my mom never really cared where I went. I’ve been coming to this park since like the 3rd grade”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-252.jpg
“Dude that was awesome. It was like we were in a movie, you know? Like cha! action!!”
Ray was still in a fit of laughter “Yeah..hahaha…ok get your money out again, stop number two is coming up!!”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-255.jpg
“This is your idea of fun? I mean the garbage looks delicious but it’s kinda lame compared to what we just did”
“Skye you ain’t seen nothing yet..c’mon I want you to meet Aaron”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-256.jpg
“Ray!! Whats good man?!”
Skye started to laugh yet again “Dude…you look like santa claus….but instead of the north pole you’re at a dump!! Hahaha”
“haha..ignore her man, you mind if we chill out here? I wanna show her that dumpster diving is fun”
“Sure no problem dude, this dump is your oyster”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-260.jpg
“Sweeet I got a pipe!!”
Ray started digging around in the dirt. “That’s nothing, I just found a silver necklace”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-307.jpg
“So are you sad?….about your mommy I mean”
“Yeah I guess so, she was never really a mom. She was always sleeping when I was home or with her friends that she called grown up friends. She didn’t even remember my birthday this year, I spent it watching tv and eating a pack of jello”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-308.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-258.jpg
“Ok the pot is like wearing off, but this is still really fun.”
“Yeah dude, that’s why I come here all the time. So now that you’ve come to your senses do you still wanna hang out?”
Skye jumped down from the wall.”Sure!! But I get to choose the next place”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-261.jpg
“Later guys…come back anytime.”
“Sure man,I’ll be back tomorrow. I wanna get some stuff for an art project.”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-262.jpg
“So miss Skye..where is this magical place you are talking about”
“It’s a surprise silly, lets go catch the train”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-309.jpg
“I’m sorry that you went through all that. Maybe when my mommy stops being mad, you can have a good family.”
“-sigh-I sure hope so. I haven’t known my dad for long, but I like him, he seems nice. You are nice too…also probably the only real friend I have”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-311.jpg
“Well I hope we can be best friends until we are grown ups.”
“Sure we can! I promise to always be friends with you Jill. ”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-291.jpg
"My parents almost divorced that summer. If it wasn't for Kari being in my life.....I don't know what I would've done"
"...I'm so sorry Jill. I wish I could do something."
"Yeah...well you can't. I just wanted to let you know why I really need to be alone for a while. I hope you understand."
"I don't know what to say to that. I mean I thought boyfriends are supposed to be there for their girlfriends.......and that's all I'm doing really."
"Well I don't need a boyfriend right now....I don't need anyone. Goodbye, Caleb"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-294.jpg


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-263.jpg
"Dude....huff...where are we going? The mountains??"
"Relax we are almost there. You know, If you didn't smoke so much you wouldnt be out of breath right now"
"Shut.....up"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-264.jpg
"Ok we are here."
"A...house? ....The dump totally trumps this."
"Well we have to climb up top first, c'mon!!"

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-265.jpg
"I can't believe you hang out in abandoned houses, Bailey. I thought you were a good girl"
"Oh please, this house hasn't been lived in for over 20 years. Something about a ghost..."
"...a ghost?"
"Kidding!!....c'mon you have to see this view!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-266.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-267.jpg
"I have to give you props, this is pretty cool"


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-270.jpg
"Ray....I just wanted to say that I'm really glad we hung out today. I've been so stressed this week I almost forgot that I'm fifteen, not fifty."
"No problem....you are pretty cool once you calm down. We should definitely do this again....you know when you aren't being a drill seargent"
"...Jeez I really should go see how Darby is doing. Now that I think of it I was pretty nasty to her."
"I don't know about you, but I'm about ready to go eat somewhere" Ray said as he stood up.
"Yeah...I have a serious case of the munchies"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-271.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-272.jpg
Ray leaned in a little closer."Or you know we could do...other stuff"
"HEY GET DOWN FROM THERE!!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-273.jpg
"Oh shit, let's get out of here!!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-276.jpg
"C'mon I parked two blocks from here!"
The two ran as fast as they could to Ray's car. Once inside and on the road they glanced at each other and smiled. This was definitely a day to remember.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%206/Screenshot-278.jpg
"So...um I'll see you around?" Ray asked as he held Skye's hand.
"Promise, but right now I have to go..."
"Study?"
"Suprisingly no. I'm going to call Darby and apologize and then soak in a nice warm bath. A little birdie once told me I have to chill" Skye said with a smirk on her face.
"Well....I think that birdie is right, because you are pretty cool when you do."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope you guys liked it. I figured I should put in a fun chapter before all the drama happens =D. I'll post the last three chapters over winter break(starting december 18!)

Book two will come shortly after that. I just have to think of some storylines and write out the chapter descripstions.

[Karasu20]

Finally off from school so now I can focus more on this story =D. I spent more time on this chapter, so hopefully it shows lol.

This is the second to last chapter of the season(book). The next will be a long 4 part finale.
---------------------------------------------------

It was mid April and Raina Loukas was passed out. Yesterday was her 16th birthday, but she didn’t even leave the room, instead she drank half a bottle of vodka and passed out. Both her parents were working so they weren’t there to celebrate and her brother was at Jonny’s house doing a very important school project. Raina was used to being alone these days.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-406.jpg
At 7:00 her alarm went off. She forgot it was Friday and that she had to go to school.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-407.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-408.jpg
“Good morning Raina..”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-402.jpg
Raina remained silent. The mere sight of her father this early in the morning always angered her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-403.jpg
“No answer? Fine just listen…..I’ve decided to tell your mother about the affair. It’s been over now for a month, but I realize how much strain its put on you and I’m sorry for that...”
Raina still didn’t say a word, but inside she was relieved, was her father really about to come clean? Was her seven month nightmare really about to end?
“I …I don’t know what to say”
“You don’t have to say anything. I made the mistake and I caused you pain, tonight I will be moving into an apartment and you won’t have to see me again.”
A ping of sadness hit Raina, which confused her, but she quickly brushed it off and watched her father walk down the stairs.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-404.jpg
“ By the way……happy birthday.”



http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-315.jpg
“All I’m saying Nat, is that True blood totally kicks Twilights ass.”
“Fine fine!! Let’s just agree to disagree..besides at least we both agree that Lost is the best show ever.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-316.jpg

Esther hid behind the bookcase as the new “couple” flirted with each other. Ever since Natalie got Jade out of the picture, her and Jace have become closer. Some people were already calling them a couple….much to Esther’s dismay.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-318.jpg
However, Esther felt bad that she was jealous. At first she wanted Jace as a boyfriend, but now she would do anything to be his friend again.
Anything..
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-319-1.jpg
“Hey guys”
The two looked at Esther and didn’t say a word. Was this girl really just spying on them?
Natalie got up from her chair and got in Esther’s face and Jace followed her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-320.jpg
“I’m going to say this one more time…stop following us around or I will get a restraining order. This little game you're playing is getting real old, just like that gross hoodie you wear every day.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-322.jpg
“That…was great” Jace whispered to Natalie as they walked away from a shell shocked Esther.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-379.jpg
“So you realize she’s jealous of us right?”
Natalie hesitated.”Of what though we are…just friends, what a crazy bitch…heh”
Jace pushed Natalie against the lockers.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-324-1.jpg
At that moment Natalie thought to herself “finally!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-326.jpg
Raina walked up to the two and coughed.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-327.jpg
Natalie let out a nervous laugh. “Hi ray..”
“Raina.. what the hell you look terrible.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-328.jpg
“Good morning to you too, oh and thanks for the birthday wishes.” Raina sneered as she walked past them.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-329.jpg
“..do you mind..if..?”
“Yeah sure, I understand. I’ll see you at lunch”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-330.jpg
“Raina don’t walk away from me. Tell me what the hell is going on. You wore those clothes yesterday and you reek of alcohol.”
“Screw you”
“There’s that attitude again! I don’t know what the hell happened to you, but ever since the beginning of the year you have become this depressed person that I can’t even have a normal conversation with, you drink alone in your room and every time dad tries to talk to you, you snap at him. I’m done questioning it; I want to know what happened right now!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-331.jpg
“Just get away from me!! Go back to your new girlfriend. If I haven’t told you by now then that means it's none of your business!”
“Fine!! Keep being a bitch, see if I care.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-332.jpg
Raina silently cursed herself. She had to tell Jace before he got home and found out himself. Hopefully she didn’t just blow her only shot.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-333.jpg
“Still keeping him in the dark…huh?”
Raina glared at Jonny, but then shoved him into a locker and made out with him.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-341.jpg
“Enough kissing…tell me what’s going on with you today.”
“Nothing…it’s just….”
“Just tell me…everything.”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-376.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-348.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-349.jpg
“Wow you just don’t give up do you? Let me ask you something Esther, do you enjoy being known as that desperate girl that stalks people in her free time?”
“Do you enjoy being a fake bitch?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-350.jpg
Natalie sighed “Esther I’m not going to continue this anymore. I’m happy with Jace and I have a great group of friends. If you want to continue alienating yourself from us, because of one little incident then that’s your business. I’m done.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-351.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-352.jpg
Esther grabbed Natalie’s arm and glared at her. “Don't give me that crap! I know about your little plan with Jade. I know that you planted ideas into Jace's head about me being a stalker!"
“What the hell, let go of me!”
Natalie tried to walk away but Esther shoved her into the bathroom stall.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-361.jpg
“There is something wrong in that tiny little brain. You walk around like this innocent girl, but in reality you are just a manipulative witch that gets whatever she wants.”
“What are you….”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-364.jpg
“..and I’m sick of it!!” Esther yelled as she punched Natalie to the ground.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-367.jpg
“Not so tough now, are you?!!”
“I don’t want this…please just stop!!” Natalie stuttered as blood ran from her nose.
“Yeah well I do! Jace will know what kind of person you are, mark my words. EVERYONE will realize that I have been right this whole time!!”

Outside, Skye and Ray were once again having their after school smoke session. Skye walked up to the bathroom so that she can wash her face and possibly sober up before heading home.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-368.jpg
“Ray….I’ll be right..hahaha..back”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-369.jpg
"What the hell?!" Skye yelled as she realized what was going on.
Natalie wriggled out from Esther's hold. "She...she attacked me!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-370.jpg
"That's a lie!! She started it, just like she always does!! I was just..."
"Just shut up Esther!! This time you've gone too far!"
"Skye you're high, you don't even know what's going on right now"
"I know exactly what's going on here, you're a psycho!! Stay away from her..and from me!" Skye snapped as she led Natalie out of the room.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-372.jpg
"Seek help Esther!!"

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-373.jpg
Esther grew extremely angry.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-374.jpg
"STUPID BITCH!!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-375.jpg
"Shit..." She whispered as she saw the shattered glass in front of her.
------------------------------------------------
To be concluded in part 2

That was the first fight of the series, hope you guys liked it lol

[Karasu20]

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-346.jpg
“So Jonny said you have something to tell me?”
Raina looked down at her shoes. She realized that she was about to ruin Jace’s entire weekend, but better he hear it from her before walking in on his father leaving.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-345.jpg
“Can we walk into the city and take the subway? It’s a very long story..”
“Sure..”



About an hour later, the siblings returned home. Jace remained silent during the whole trip even after Raina told him.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-382.jpg
“Jace.. please say something, at least before we get inside.”
“I don’t have anything to say….I just want to see him..”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-383.jpg
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means he’s going to get what’s coming to him. He ruined this family Raina…” Jace said with almost no emotion.
Raina began to get worried. She knew her brother's temper, she had no idea what he was about to do to their father.

As soon as they opened the door they could hear their parents arguing. Raina braced herself for what was about to come.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-385.jpg
"..I don't want to hear it!! Just get out of this house you bastard!!!" Nicole Loukas screamed.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-386.jpg
Sid turned toward his kids."Raina...Jace...I.."
At that moment Jace stepped forward and punched his father in the face.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-388.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-390.jpg
"Go to hell"
"Jace!!" Raina gasped.
Sid grunted and stood up. He took one last look at his family and headed for the door.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-392.jpg
Raina ran after him. For some reason she suddenly felt sorry for him.
"Dad..wait!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-396.jpg
"...Dad..."
"It's ok Raina, I deserved that. You don't need to apologize, you did nothing wrong."
Raina couldn't believe it, but she was sad that her dad was leaving. After months of hating him, she was actually sad. For a moment the two stood there and looked at eachother, both not knowing what to say.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-398.jpg
"Where are you going to go?"
"The apartment is forty minutes from here, towards the desert."
Tears began streaming down Raina's face. "...I'll...um visit..ok? Once this whole divorce is settled...."
Sid opened his eyes in shock. "Yeah sure ...and listen.. you are the best daughter a father could ask for. I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you, I wish I never made this mistake and I never meant for you have this burden. Just remember that I love you". Sid kissed his daughter on the forehead and got in the car.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-399.jpg
"Goodbye dad.." Raina tearfully whispered.


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-418.jpg
"Where's mom?"
"..upstairs"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-419.jpg
"Mom...are you ok?"
Nicole whipped around and stomped up to her daughter.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-420.jpg
"Jace told me that you knew"
"..yeah I did, but I was..."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-421.jpg
"Get out of my sight!! How dare you not tell me something important!! You are no better than he is"
Raina was speechless. Was her mother really going to take her anger out on her?
"Mom..I was going to tell you.I didn't want to hurt you."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-422.jpg
"Just leave! I have to call the lawyers."

Raina began to cry as she walked into her room. She then saw something that would cheer her up.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-424.jpg





http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-426.jpg
"I'm glad we are at school now, this weekend was hell.I'm also glad you look happier Raina."
"Yeah well.. I've decided I want to start enjoying my life now. Even though mom hates me and dad is gone."
"She doesn't.."
"Jace, Raina!!!" Natalie called from across the street.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-427.jpg
"How are you guys? Are you ready for this awesome half day? I made awesome plans this afternoon."
Raina lifted her eyebrow. "I'll um leave you two alone.. see you later"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-429.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-430.jpg
"So you gunna tell me the story about this black eye?"
Natalie sighed.

"Wow you look great Ray."
"Oh shut up. All I did was straighten my hair."
"So how are you dealing?"
"I'm fine Jonny, actually better then fine, I'm great. Listen, about what we talked about yesterday..about us just staying friends. Are you sure you are ok with that?"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-434.jpg
"Like I said on the phone, I'll always be here for you no matter what."
"Thanks Jonny. Listen, I'll meet you in Biology. I have to go to the bathroom."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-436.jpg
Raina pulled the beer out of her bag.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-437.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-438.jpg
"Esther..."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-439.jpg
Esther nervously looked at Jace. "Oh hi Jace, how are you?"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-441.jpg
"I just came here to tell you to stay away from us from now on! If you ever go near my girlfriend again, I'll get a restraining order, got it?!"
"I'm sorry..."
"I don't care! Just stay away!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-444.jpg


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-445.jpg
"Jace seemed really mad just now, I don't know if you saw.."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-446.jpg
"Get away from me you stupid bitch."
"I told you I was sorry! I think I payed for what I did, I got a weeks detention and I have to pay for the mirror. Can't we just get over what I did?"
"No, I'm not talking about it anymore. What you did was terrible, I can't be friends with someone like that."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-449.jpg
"So what, you're just never going to speak to me again?"
"No...I'm not. You did this to yourself and now you can face the consequences."
Natalie walked into the hallway. "Hey Skye, everyone is waiting outside. Raina decided she wants to go to Hollywood. You ready?"
"Yeah...I just got held up."
Natalie glared at Esther.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-450.jpg
"See this black eye? It will never happen again. Next time you mess with me or with any of my friends, you will have hell to pay. Now if you will excuse us, we have plans."
For once Esther did not have a comeback. She was trying desperately not to cry in front of Natalie.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-451.jpg
"Ok so I even got Cal and Jill to ride in the same car and he said we can hang out at his place after lunch.. tonight is going to be so fun!!"
The two friends laughed as they walked out of the school.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-452.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%207/Screenshot-455.jpg
And for the first time, Esther cried.

------------------------------------------------
poor Esther =/
Hope you guys liked it!
Also I would appreciate comments. I know a lot of people read, but I want some opinions lol.

Next time: series one finale!!!!!!!
Natalie decides to throw a party(using Jace's house) for her 16th birthday. She invites half the student body. Esther decides to get revenge.

[brtaylor2000]

Wow this series is awesome! Keep up the good work!

[Karasu20]

Thank you =)

[Karasu20]

Well here it is....the series one finale!!! I can't believe I actually finished it. When I first started this story I didn't think I would make it past three chapters, but thanks to the 3,000+ views I found confidence to continue.

I hope you guys like the party =D. I tried really hard to make it look like an actual party (which is really hard when dealing with sims -___-) so I hope it shows lol.

After this finale, I won't be writing another chapter until spring break(april), but I will be posting sneak peaks, because right now I'm working on series 2 (locations, character styles, storylines) and I already have some pictures.

Anyway......... part 1 of 3

“Well guys….I hate to say this, but you are officially done with tenth grade English. To the four people who didn’t show up today, I’ll be seeing them next year” Mr. Vance said with a smile on his face.
It was the last period of the last day of school and everyone couldn’t wait to get their weekend started.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-32.jpg
“Have an awesome break….and don’t do anything stupid.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-33.jpg
“I just wanna say man you are the coolest teacher we’ve had at Hillwood. It sucks that we can’t have you next year.”
“Thanks Jonny it was a pleasure.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-35.jpg
Natalie ran out of the classroom first and towards the quad.
“Get a room losers and hurry it up, I have some awesome news!!” She yelled.
Skye rolled her eyes. “We won’t be seeing eachother for two weeks, can’t we say goodbye??”
“Yeah well no one asked Ray to go to the Bahamas with his parents.” Natalie yelled as she turned the corner.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-36.jpg
“Jonny can you hold on a second? The quad is 2.5 seconds from here, there’s really no need to rush.”
“Shut up dude! It’s the last day of school!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-37.jpg
“Ew gross…”Jill jokingly said.
Skye stuck the finger at Jill as she walked the other way.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-38.jpg
“Jill…can you come here a minute?”
Jill suddenly felt awkward. She broke up with Cal almost three months ago and ever since then they’ve barely talked. Even when they were hanging out with everyone they kept their distance.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-39.jpg
“I just wanna say…well…can we just go back to…uh”
“…being friends?”
“Yeah..heh. It’s just with the party tomorrow night and I’m leaving for New York on Monday, I don’t want to leave on bad terms.”
“Ahh..c’mere!”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-41.jpg
“Of course silly. I’ll always be your friend. Anyway I might be working at this art studio all summer so In a sense, it's good that we broke up. We would’ve never seen eachother.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-42.jpg
“Well I guess I better get going.”
“Yeah…” Skye said sadly.
“Hey you, just have fun this weekend and when I get back I’ll have the best pot and we can spend the rest of the summer in a haze.”
Skye laughed and punched Ray in the arm. “You jerk.”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-43.jpg
Natalie got up from the wall.“Finally…ok everyone gather round.I have awesome news.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-44.jpg
“So you know how the party was going to be at my house?”
“Yes” everyone said dully.
“Well turns out Jace and Raina’s mom is going out of town for a relaxing spa weekend…you know to get over the whole divorce and stuff……and she totally said we could have the party at their house!!”
Raina raised her eyebrow.”Mom is really letting a bunch of teenagers use the house for a weekend? Is she on meds??”
“Dude I don’t know. I mentioned the party and she was like, I’ll be out of town why not use this house? It’s bigger. She also said we can have all the liquor. I guess the divorce is really getting to her.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-45.jpg
“Sorry about that.” Skye whispered.
“It’s fine….mom and I aren’t exactly on good terms, so of course I wouldn’t know that she lost her mind.
“Ok now that that’s settled, lets go to the diner, I’m starving!!!” Jace yelled.
“We call Natalie’s car!” Skye yelled as she grabbed Raina’s arm.
Natalie was about to throw Skye the keys when she saw Esther walking out of the building.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-46.jpg
“Aww..Look Jace, a rat has come out of its hole….looks like it’s been there for a while judging by its hair.”
Everyone laughed except for the twins and Caleb. They weren’t really on bad terms with Esther so there was no reason to be mean. “C’mon guys…before I lose my appetite by being near that creature.”
As the four ran off to Natalie’s car, Jill walked over to Esther with Jonny and Caleb in tow.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-47.jpg
“Hey Es..sorry about Natalie, she can be a little…”
“Bitch? Whore? Skank?”
“…outspoken.” Jill finished awkwardly.
“Whatever…you should get back to your queen, if you defy her you might end up a social reject like me.” Esther snapped.
“Look just because the others are pissed at you doesn’t mean we have to stop being friends. I’m going to call you later tonight and we are going to talk, ok?”
Esther shoved past them. “Don’t hold your breath.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-50.jpg
“What a bitch.”
“Don't be like that Jonny, Natalie basically alienated her from the group. I would be like that too.”
Caleb took out his keys“Well this could have been avoided if she didn't give Natalie a black eye or stalk Jace. I'm sure it will blow over eventually. I think now that it's summer, everyone will be more open to forgive and forget."

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-51.jpg
“Esther get in here! Libby has some great news!” Fiona Trescott called from the living room.
“I really don’t care.” Esther mumbled coldly.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-52.jpg
“But Esty! I got into that boarding school” Libby cried.
“Esther what is the matter with you? There’s no need for that attitude. Come over here and congratulate your sister.”
Esther ignored the two of them and continued walking up the stairs. The family was left speechless as she slammed her door shut without a word.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-53.jpg
“You better go talk to her” Chaz said.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-54.jpg
“Honey what was that? Your sister got into California’s best boarding school and you can’t even congratulate her?”
“Mom, I have stuff to do…please just leave.”
“Right ……….stuff as in sitting in here all day. It’s the last day of school why aren’t you at Raina’s house for your annual sleepover? In fact, why haven’t you been hanging out with your friends lately? Did something happen?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-55.jpg
“NO! Just get out!!” Esther snapped.
Fiona sighed and walked out of the room. She didn’t know what to do with her daughter anymore. It was as if she had morphed into a different person.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-57.jpg
“What’s wrong with her? Why is she being so mean?”
“Nothing Libby just go get ready so we can get to the restaurant. It looks like Esther won't be joining us.”

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-58.jpg
“I just don’t know what to do Chaz. Our daughter has become so depressed and moody and she won’t even say why.”
“Well why don’t you call up her friends and ask? Surely they would know.”
“That’s just it, I think her friends stopped speaking to her. I haven’t seen Jill or Raina around in months.”
“Well I just think we have to give her some space. She's fifteen, girls her age always go through things like this. It won't help if we keep nagging her about it. Let her get through it on her own."
"I suppose you're right. I just hope she's ok.."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-56.jpg

Continued in part 2
Which will be posted later this week =)

[Karasu20]

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-158.jpg
“I just can’t believe she’s been out there the whole time we were out.”
“Don’t worry Fiona I’ll have a talk with her.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-159.jpg
“Hey kiddo, nice dinner you’ve got there. Popcorn and soda is definitely better than the Italian food we just had at your sister's celebration dinner.” Chaz said sarcastically.
“Like I said before I wasn’t in the mood to go out.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-161.jpg
“You wanna tell me why? I know it has something to do with your friends. C’mon I’m a cool dad, I’ll listen with no judgement.”
“Dad it’s just teenage stuff. I’m sure you won’t understand.”
“Esther….I was your age twenty years ago, I’m sure not much has changed since the nineties.”
-sigh-“ Fine, but just sit down, it’s a long story.”

After about twenty minutes, Esther was finished. Her dad did as he promised and did not judge. Instead he listened intently.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-162.jpg
“Well…sounds to me like everything happened because of this Natalie girl. If you want my advice, I say you go to that party tomorrow and try to make things right with everyone….including Natalie.”
“..but..she totally ruined my life.”
“You were both guilty of something, you attacked her and tried to steal her boyfriend and she spread rumors about you. I think if you sat down with her and was honest, this would all go away. You have to at least try, you’ll look like the better person.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-163.jpg
Alright I’ll go there tomorrow night..jeez…did anyone ever tell you that you should be a shrink?”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-164.jpg
“haha…on occasion, but I settled for being a photographer instead.”


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-62.jpg
“Ugh this nail polish is taking way too long to dry. People will be here any second, I have to make my grand entrance.”
Skye looked up from the string she was fiddling with. “It’s not like this is a fancy sweet sixteen, it’s just a house party, kinda like the one Caleb had in October.”
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-63.jpg
"hah! that was the lamest thing I have ever been to, even if I was too drunk to remember."
"Raina, how did you even get the alcohol at that party? Cal was so strict about that crap." Jill said as she flipped through a magazine.
"Let's just say I have my ways."
Natalie stopped fiddling with her nails. "Ugh can you believe that was the night when that whore tried to kiss Jace? I get sick just thinking about it."
As the girls laughed and reminisced about the beginning of the year, a horn honked outside. Jace,Cal and Jonny had returned with the alcohol.

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-65.jpg
Jace took out the last bottle of Tequila. "We did pretty good, who knew our parents were all alcoholics?"
"Yeah alcoholics who don't drink, most of this crap came as gifts. Now Cal's parents on the other hand.."
"Hey just because my parents like to collect alcohol, doesn't mean they are drunks. C'mon lets go get the rest of the stuff. People will be here soon."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-64.jpg
"Sweet, Ethan just pulled up with the cheerleaders....and oh my god, Robby Harris just pulled into my driveway. He is so hot!!"
Natalie jumped down from the dresser. "Girls....I believe it's time to party!!!"
--------------------------------------------------concluded in part 3

Sorry this update was so short. I just wanted the last part to have all the drama =D.

[Karasu20]

Warning: Slight drug/alcohol use and profanity are in this part.
------------------------------------------------
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-66.jpg
"Ok...I need to smoke, there are way too many people here that I don't like. Figures Natalie and Jace would invite the cheerleaders and jocks."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-67.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-70.jpg


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-69.jpg
"This party is so much better than the graduation party I went to last night. Where are your friends?" Sade asked her sister as she walked over.
"blahh I don't know, Natalie is over there grinding with the cheerleaders, Jace is with his bros, Cal is being anti social, Raina and Jonny are being a non-couple, couple and I have no clue where Jill went. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to kindly ask these burn outs to share."
"Don't be like that, I came her to dance!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-79.jpg
Jill walked over from the house. "C'mon Sade I'll dance with you. You'll have to excuse Skye, she's sad about her Ray ray." She said in a mocking tone.
"Ew I don't call him that!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-80.jpg
The stoners over at Skye as she sat down. "Dude aren't you the hippie chick at school that like protests and stuff?"
Skye took the joint from the guy. "Yup that's me, I'm not as good as I look. So...uh what's up with your friend?"

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-71-1.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-72.jpg
"Checking out lone figure by the wall?"
"Wha...oh Jill hey....yeah kind of...heh."
"Relax Cal we broke up. I wouldn't care if you flirted with some chick. Go for it....she's cute."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-73.jpg
"Hey...I'm Cale...Cal"
"hehe hey CaleCal, I'm Katie."
"So I noticed you were all alone, erm me too. I don't really do parties."
"Yeah me either. So judging by your shirt...I guess you like video games?"
"Is the pope catholic?"

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-75.jpg
Raina finished off her fifth beer and walked into her kitchen."Whew...I just danced for like....oh hi"
The boy, who was also drunk, turned around and looked at Raina "Hey, you're Jace's sister right?"
"Yep....Raina."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-77.jpg
"I'm...."
"....Robby Harris, you're like sooo hot." Raina slurred as she struggled to keep her balance.
"hmph....you're pretty cute too, wanna uh....go somewhere private? It's kinda loud down here."
"Sure."

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-81.jpg
"I can't believe we haven't met before. I have never talked to anyone about video games, comics and anime in one night."
"Yeah well there's always one nerd at a party." Caleb jokingly said.
"Oh please, you are far from a nerd. C'mon a guy like you? You must have a girlfriend."
"hah...yeah we broke up like three months ago......so now..uh who knows."
Katie gave an awkward glanced and then nodded to a girl across the yard.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-78.jpg
"See that girl with the red hair?"
"...yeah."
"That's my girlfriend, Jane. She usually likes to mingle and have fun while I sit back and watch."
Caleb glanced at the ground."Ouch...."
"Sorry....It's just I didn't want you to get the wrong idea, you know? I still want to talk with you. It's not like I have anything else to do at this party. The only reason I went is because Jane was invited."
"Nah it's fine...I'm just glad I have someone to talk to. Right now all of my friends are wasted."

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-83.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-93.jpg
"Duuuuude there's ice cream in here!!"
"Yoo leave some for us man"
"No way, this is mine!!" Skye yelled as she grabbed the ice cream and ran outside.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-94.jpg
"Hungry, Skye?"
"Hell yeah Cal!! I would totally offer you some, but I'm like eating this whole thing."
Katie laughed and turned her attention to the crowd of people in front of them. "Hey what's going on over there?"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-95.jpg
"Oh my god Ethan, I can't believe you are doing this for twenty bucks!"
"No worries....I got my dude Jonny over here..yeaaahhh."
"Yo I barely know you, but I don't care!!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-96.jpg
"Remind me to never invite Ethan to a party.....ever."
"Ugh totally.I can't wait to blackmail him with pictures."
"I need to find my girlfriend, later."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-108.jpg
"Nat..can we talk upstairs?"
Natalie stirred her concoction of fridge leftovers. "Sure... just as soon as I feed these stoners. They bugged me for like ten minutes. There's no more pizza so I just threw food together, it's not like they will notice."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-112.jpg
"Here you go. It's my own recipe." Natalie said with a fake smile on her face. "Jace...let's go talk upstairs." She added with a seductive wink.


http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-120.jpg
"You sure you're ready Nat?"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-121.jpg
Natalie pushed Jace onto the bed."Just stop talking."

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-113.jpg
Caleb walked over to the crowd and grabbed Jill's arm. "Hey can we talk...in uh private?"
"Hey geek, you wanna join in?! I'll give you ten bucks!"
"Oh my god ew Jackie, I don't wanna see that!!"
As the drunk girls laughed, Jill and Cal walked inside.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-114.jpg
"Cal what's up? Shouldn't you be talking to that chick? I thought you two were hitting it off."
Cal pointed out the window.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-115.jpg
Jill put her hand on Cal's shoulder. "No worries my friend, there are plenty more fish in the sea. C'mon lets go back and watch Jonny make a fool of himself.."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-117.jpg
"Cal, what are you... are you drunk?"
Cal backed up. "No..you know I don't drink."
"Then why did you just kiss me?"
"I ....I don't know."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-118.jpg
As Jill slowly walked away with an awkward smile, Cal realized the stupid mistake he just made. "Jill... wait...I'm sorry.."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-119.jpg
"Look like someone isn't getting laid duhuhuhhaha."
"Shut up, moron."

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-116.jpg
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-111.jpg

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-123.jpg
Jill sipped her glass of vodka. "I can't believe he just kissed me like that. I mean I thought we were broken up....what the hell. What's worse is..... I think I liked it." She thought to herself as she began to chug the glass.
Jill walked into the kitchen and found herself surrounded by "couples".
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-125.jpg
"What...are you..two like a couple now?" She slurred. The alcohol was definitely getting to her.
Kara held Jonny's hand. "No we're just....having fun. You're brother is pretty cool."
"Gross....almost as gross as those two over there."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-126.jpg
The doorbell suddenly rang frantically. Jill stumbled towards the door. "I'll get it!!"

[Karasu20]

http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-180.jpg
"Esther......shit you have to leave....NOW. If Natalie finds you here, she will kill you."
"No...I want to finish this once and for all."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-181.jpg
"Does it have to be right now?All of her friends are here, it's her birthday. This is the worst possible time!"
"I don't care! I'm not going to spend the rest of the summer like this. I have to at least try to make things better. If I don't, you guys will never speak to me."
"That's not even...."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-182.jpg
"Natalie!!!! Get down here right now!!" Esther yelled at the top of her lungs.
A few minutes later, Natalie walked down the stairs with a look a pure hatred.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-183.jpg
"What...the hell."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-185.jpg
"Oh shit. Tell everyone to get inside. This is going to be good."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-184.jpg
"Natalie...I just came here to say...I want to start over." Esther said trying to sound as sincere as possible.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-187.jpg
"Ew who invited the stalker?!" Jackie liu yelled as she walked into the foyer. Others soon followed and soon there was a crowd around the two rivals.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-132.jpg
"I don't want to hear it!! Anything you say is a complete lie; you are a psycho!! I wouldn't want to be friends with you if you were the last person on earth!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-133.jpg
"You are the most pathetic person I have ever met. You'll do anything to get what you want!! Noone invited you to this party, yet here you are."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-134.jpg
"Boo!!! Get that freak outta here!"
"Yeah noone wants her here!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-135.jpg
"Kick her out!! She's an ugly stalker!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-137.jpg
"Look at her clothes!!"
"Nice sweat pants, did you get them from grandma??!!!"
Everyone started to laugh and Esther tried her best to keep her composure. She knew it was a bad idea to show up.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-136.jpg
"....Nat...Jace...I'm truly sorry for everything I did. I just want to go back to normal...please!!"
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-138.jpg
"Look everyone, she's trying to act all innocent!! We all know you're a liar, just get the hell out of here!!" Jace called as he made his way through the crowd.
Esther was about to retort, but two girls came up behind her and grabbed her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-139.jpg
"Oops, looks like I've dropped some red pepper on you!"
"Oh dear we can't have that. Now she won't be able to wear her only hoodie."
The whole room erupted in laughter. At this point Esther wanted to run out of the house, but someone was blocking the door.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-149.jpg
"This is too evil, I can't watch."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-140.jpg
"Aww is the crazy stalker going to cry now? Better run home to mommy."
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-141.jpg
"You know what? F*** all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Esther screamed.
She shoved her way past her tormenters and made it out of the door.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-142.jpg
As she ran outside she could hear cheering and clapping. "Ding dong the witch is dead!!" They chanted.

Anger surged through every fiber of Esther's body.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-143.jpg
She decided that she was done with trying to get everyone to forgive her.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-144.jpg
"Think I'm a bitch now?" She muttered as she dialed a number.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-146.jpg
"Hi...there's this house down the block from me and they are being very loud. I believe these teenagers are having a party. I've seen at least five of them running around outside drunk. The address is 13 Oceanside Court. I think the house belongs to the Loukas family." She said with fake concern.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-147.jpg
Esther took out her keys and carved "karma" into the side of Caleb's car. With that she began to walk home.
http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/acar7/Chapter%208/Screenshot-148.jpg
She had finally gotten what she wanted......revenge.


About twenty minutes later, the greatest party of the year came to a screeching halt.

Everyone's summer was sure to be interesting now.

---------------------------------
Well thats all until april.

I already started writing the first chapter, but I won't post anything until I've finished at least chapter two.

I hope you guys like the next series, because I'm planning on making it darker and more dramatic. There will be certain characters that go through some hard stuff.

[Karasu20]

It's back!!!! =D This chapter is very long so it will probably be about four parts.

I know I said it wouldn't be back until April, but I was just so bored today that I decided to finish writing the first chapter and some of the second.

I made some mild changes with Caleb so he doesn't look the way he was originally supposed to look(I.E. in the opening). I also changed Raina's personality drastically, but there's a reason for that ;).

Anyway onto season 2!

“Ugh… couldn’t you have passed out upstairs?”
“Mhm….get whatever you want hon, mrbmble….”
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-24.jpg
“Ok well in that case, I'm going out to get a tattoo. Oh and then I was thinking about buying a motorcycle, dropping out of school and becoming an exotic dancer."
"mhm....have funmrmbbb..."
"Moron" Raina muttered as she left the room.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-12.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-13.jpg
“Can this girl take any longer to do her hair? We’re going to a pool for f**** sake.” Skye mumbled as she finished off her cigarette.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-11.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-14.jpg

“Sure Zane, If I don’t get painter’s block again.”

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-25.jpg
“What a train wreck. She can’t even close the blinds?”
-RIIING-

“Ick…not him again.”
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-27.jpg
“Listen Chase, like I said last week…I don’t want a second date. It was a just a one night stand. Now stop calling me!”

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-29.jpg
“Yeah, hello? I’m driving over right now. You better be ready Jill, I’m not going to wait around for an hour like last time.”


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-17.jpg
“What up bitch!"
"Nothin' much foo.. Are we taking your car or the bus?"
"Is that seriously a question? Why the hell would we take the gross bus? Are you high again?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-18.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-195.jpg
"Shit where is she?!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-198.jpg
"Yo Jill!! What the hell are you doing?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-199.jpg
"I'm pretty sure I said on the phone that I don't want to wait around for you."
"....aaaand....You just made me lose my vision."
Raina grabbed the brush out of Jill's hand it and threw it on the table."Oh please...stop being such a hipster and let's get out of here. Nat and Skye are already at the club."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-201.jpg
"Ooooh hello there gorgeous."
Jill sighed. "What now?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-203.jpg
Raina handed Jill the keys. "Here just wait in the car. I think I'm going to invite tall dark and handsome over there, out tonight."
Jill suddenly yanked Raina back. "NO!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-204.jpg
"Whoa, what's the damage?"
"...umm nothing it's just well...like you said Natalie's waiting."
"Oh my god...are you like screwing him or something?"
Jill pushed Raina out the door.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-205.jpg
"No...I barely know the guy. Besides, I'm done with guys, remember?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-206.jpg
"I don't get why that means you can't hook up with someone. Why don't you do what I do?"
"No thanks, I don't want THAT many guys."
"Shut up! I've only been with like seven guys all summer, and most of them were just hookups...I promise."
"You know what else you could promise?"
"What?"
"Learn how to park on the street!!"




http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-207.jpg
"So Cal hasn't called all summer?"
Jill sighed."No. I tried to call him after the party to apologize for acting all weird after he kissed me, but he just said he needed time to think and that we would talk when school started."
"Well...I don't blame him...you were pretty harsh."
"Don't you think I know that?!"
"Alright...jeez. You don't have to bite my damn head off."
"Sorry...I just hate thinking about it. It's why I distracted myself this summer."
"Well it's obvious you need to get some tonight...and I'm going to help you."
"Has anyone ever told you that you think way too much about sex?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-208.jpg
"Is that a bad thing?"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot.jpg
"Hmm....I like this view."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-3.jpg
"Nat....I'm pretty sure you have a boyfriend."
"So what...doesn't mean I can't check out hot older guys."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-4.jpg
"Finally!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-6.jpg
"What took you?"
"Blame lady picassa over here."
"Excuse me for having a job, Raina. Let's just get in the pool, I'm dying in this heat."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-5.jpg
"Are you coming?"
"Are you crazy? It took me an hour to get my hair this way."
"Right, because you know water totally destroys hair beyond repair." Skye said sarcastically as she walked into the pool.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-7.jpg
"Soooo glad you came. I was afraid I was going to be stuck tanning with barbie all day."
"Haha yeah and listen to her talk about her modeling job and boys."
Raina looked over at the guy in red shorts. "Speaking of boy...I mean men, I'll be right back."
"Raina!!!" Jill and Skye yelled in unison.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-8.jpg
"Thanks a lot Jill, I was so close to getting that guys number."
"Raina, at this rate you will have every guys number in Hillwood."
"Enough with the small talk. I am so excited about tonight. This is the first time we are all going out since my birthday." Natalie interrupted.
Skye rolled her eyes. "Yeah hopefully this time it won't be ruined by some jealous bitch."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-9.jpg
"No shit....I hate that little skank for what she did. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't of had to spend the whole summer being grounded. The only reason my parents let me out was to go to work."
"Man that sucks, you and Jonny definitely got the worst punishments. At least they are letting you out tonight, right?"
Jill rolled her eyes."I hope so, I'm going to have to beg them to let me go to The Pit. Jonny and I already have a speech prepared about how we learned our lessons blah blah blah."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-10.jpg
Natalie stretched out her legs. "Come to think of it, that little bitch really did ruin everyone's summer. I had to work my ass off at the restaurant to pay off the summonses, and even then my brother forced me to work more because he was so pissed. It did lead to me getting a modeling job though, so I can't really complain."
"Also Cal's car was keyed, two potheads were sent to juvie, we all got summonses and I was grounded for a month." Skye added.
Raina turned over to tan her back. "Jace and I are lucky, because mom didn't even notice or care. She was just glad we cleaned up the place. I still can't believe Esther did that though."
"Yeah well I can, she's a psycho. I'm glad I haven't even seen her all summer. Maybe she moved....or became a homeschooled jungle freak." Natalie added as she put more lotion on.
Everyone laughed at the quote and continued basking in the sun.


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-31.jpg
"Hey there, we just got back.....ahh you made hot dogs."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-32.jpg
"How did Libby like the school? her dorm? her roommate?"
"Perfect...everything was perfect. She sends her love."
"How was...the other one?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-33.jpg
"Oh you know....moody and anti social as always. On the way back she listened to music. Didn't say a word."
"Ah...well that's her routine. I had the same experience last weekend when I brought her school shopping. I even offered to buy her anything from forever 21. She claimed that she would rather drink rat poison than dress like a clone. Her words, not mine."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-34.jpg
"This is terrible, Chaz. Last year we had a wonderful daughter that dyed her hair pink and loved to shop, tan and hang out with her best friends. Now we have a sullen and depressed daughter that painted her room black and never leaves the house. It's been long enough, I say we talk to her...or send her to therapy."
"Just give me a moment with her, Fiona. I'll go talk to her now. Maybe convince her to have lunch with us."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-37.jpg
Chaz knocked on the door and waited. "Esther, it's me!"
"It's open."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-38.jpg
"What is it dad? I'm watching a movie."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-39.jpg
"It's a beautiful day Es, why don't you join your mother and I for some lunch? I'm sure you're hungry after that trip."
"No."
"Esther, I know you had a falling out with your friends, but..."
"Those bimbos were never my friends. Now if you can just leave and lock the door on your way out, that would be great. I'm not coming downstairs so you can stop trying." Esther snapped as she turned the volume up on her laptop.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-40.jpg
"Fine, but just remember that whatever you're hiding from...you'll have to face it sooner or later. Especially since school is in two days and...... don't even think about asking if you can skip."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-41.jpg
"Screw you."
------------------------------------
part two will be posted tonight or tomorrow.

[Karasu20]

** Sorry for the weird editing on some of the pictures. I was really trying to make it seem like they were in a real club. (Since It's impossible to have more than 15 sims in a room together >.<)
---------------------------------

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-43.jpg
It was mid afternoon and Jace was once again working out. It was a ritual he practiced twice a day ever since he made the football team. He was also getting used to being interuppted by Jonny at least once a day.
RIIING
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-44.jpg
"shit."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-45.jpg
"What do you want, Jonny? Don't you know by now that I work out at this time?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-58.jpg
"Yeah man...I know, but someone took my board and I have to be home in twenty minutes or else my parents will flip shit."
"Dude, it's about time you got caught. Why couldn't you just stay home? If your parents hadn't caught you three times you might've been able to come out with us tonight."
"Dude I know, but Jill and I have a plan for that and I was supposed to meet her at the house. C'mon man I'm legit five minutes from your house."
"Fine, I'll leave right now."
Jonny hung up the phone and walked towards the street. At that moment a red head with red fishnets walked up behind him.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-59.jpg
"Did I hear that right? Someone took your skateboard?"
Jonny turned around and raised his eyebrow at the girl."Yeah...what's the big deal?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-60.jpg
"Oh nothing, just that someone took my bike like last week. It was pretty awesome too, It had black rims and everything."
"uh..huh."Jonny said as he tapped his foot and looked at the street. He wished Jace would hurry the hell up so he wouldn't have to stand here talking to this chick.
"I see you around a lot"
"Yeah? well it's a small city, I've never seen you before."
"Just moved here. You going to the pit tonight? I heard they just started having teen nights, which means we all have a place to get drunk haha."
"Yeah...going with my friends."
BEEEEEEEP "Yo! get in the car, I had to speed here man!!"
The girl winked at Jonny. "Maybe we'll see each other then, later!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-61.jpg
"Who was that?"
"I have no clue. She just came out of nowhere and started flirting with me."
"Haha...lucky you. It's about time you met a girl other than my sister."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-62.jpg
"Shut up.. let's get the hell out of here.."
"Yeah, yeah"
"ughhh... man haven't you ever heard of deodorant? You reek."
"That's what happens when you call me in the middle of a work out to come get your ass."
Jonny held his nose and jumped in the car. Jace then sped down the street towards the Tresier house. They arrived with five minutes left to spare.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-46.jpg
Jonny ran up to his door and was greeted by his sister walking out.
"Where are you going? Don't we have to talk to the rents?"
"Already did... they came home early."
"What the hell!! Why didn't you call me?"
" I did and you never answered. Now if you'll excuse me. I have to get the land rover and pick up everyone. See you tomorrow bro!!" Jill laughed as she tapped her brother on the head.
"Wha..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-48.jpg
"By the way, mom was furious that you weren't home. Have fun!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-49.jpg
"Jonathan...you're home."
"Yeah, sorry mom, I..."
"That's enough son, you can go up to your room now."Jean interrupted.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-50.jpg
"I really was at the library, and then some guy took my board so I had to call Jace to pick me up and um..."
Yuna rolled her eyes and stood up. "And last week you claimed you were doing some summer reading at the beach with Jace and those other miscreants. I've had enough of your lying. Don't make me extend your punishment through the end of September."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-51.jpg
Jonny angrily mumbled as he began to walk up the stairs.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-53.jpg
"Don't even think about trying to sneak out later. Your father will be in the living room the whole night."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-235.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-233.jpg
"I can't believe this place is finally having teen nights!" Raina exclaimed as she checked out some guys in front of them.
"I know! This is going to be insane...Nat do you have the tequila in your purse?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-237.jpg
"Yea babe....and some Vodka too."
"Too bad your brother couldn't make it." Skye said to Jill as she pulled out her joint.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-236.jpg
"Yeah well that's his own fault....ugh are you guys really going to smoke now? We are almost at the door."
"Don't worry, we'll be done in like 5 mins." Ray said as he started pulling Skye the other way.
"Hey, Raina!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-240.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-238.jpg
"Did you seriously invite him??"
"Yea...I went by your job after the club and we talked for a bit. We surprisingly have a lot in common."
"Ugh...Raina I told you not to...."
"Hey Dax!!" Raina yelled as she completely ignored Jill.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-241.jpg
"This is going to be a fun night." Jill sarcastically mumbled.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-242.jpg
"Later guys!! We'll see you in like ten minutes."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-64.jpg
"Of course he's sleeping."Jonny thought to himself as he crept down the stairs.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-66.jpg
"Later pops."

"Ok...what is with you and that guy?"
"What...what are you talking about?"
"I'm just noticing that you can't take your eyes off him and ever since Raina started flirting with him you just seem really pissed off."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-252.jpg
"Nothing...I'm just sick of her running around like a slut all the time. We're supposed to be best friends and all summer she's been ditching me for guys."
"Well then go tell her that, girl.... "
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-253.jpg
"Babe, c'mon you promised that we would dance!" Jace called from the bar.
"Alright, alright!!"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-275.jpg
"Ok....this looks kinda lame."
"Yo! Skater boy!" Called April as she leaned on the railing.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-277.jpg
"Er...hi.... April right?"
"Yep.."
"So why are you up here? Shouldn't you be down there dancing or something?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-278.jpg
".. my friend ditched me to go bang her boyfriend. We were about to go blow bubbles in the VIP room, but she just kinda left. Now I'm just here...heh."
"...blow bubbles?" Jonny asked confused as to how that even sounded remotely fun.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-279.jpg
"Dude, I hear your skepticism, but it's not as boring as you think. C'mon I'll show you!"
Jonny was wondering if this girl was just plain crazy or actually kind of cool, but he wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to possibly hook up with a girl. "Sure."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-255.jpg
"I need some air" Jill thought to herself as she descended up the staircase.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-254.jpg
"Listen Raina, you're cute and everything, but you're not really my type."
"I'm everyone's type if they're looking to have some fun....if you know what I mean." Raina said with a seductive smile.
Dax raised his eyebrow"....right, well I guess I'll see you around?" but before she could answer he walked away and out of sight.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-257.jpg
"Babe...you're already tipsy. Why do you need to order a drink??"
"Just shut it and let me do my thing. I ordered a drink last week when I went out with all my modeling friends."
"...who are all 21. You are 16!!"
"Doesn't matter....just watch and learn."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-258.jpg
"Hey can I get a Whiskey Sour?"
"Sure hon, but only because you're cute."
Jace snorted in the background while Natalie elbowed him. "Thanks" She said with an awkward smile.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-259.jpg
"Ewww there's way too much whiskey in this."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-256.jpg
"So what's a hottie like you doing all alone?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-261.jpg
"Wow Ethan....hitting on your teammates little sister? Really?"
"Woah! Raina is that really you? Damn you grew up in the last three months....I like it."
"Gross...I'm actually here with someone so if you would excuse me.."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-263.jpg
"Hey.."
"Where's Raina?" Jill said with a slight attitude.
"She's just a friend, Jill."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-264.jpg
"Like I care who your friends are... Why did you even follow me up here? I'm just going out for some air."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-265.jpg
"C'mon Jill....don't act like you didn't want me to follow you.."
"No, I don't even know why you came up here...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-268.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-266.jpg
"Stop!....I need some space.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-270.jpg

"...some friend she is.."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-280.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-281.jpg
"Dude this is awesome!! How did you even know about this place?"
"Well for one, I have one of these in my house and two I just found it haha"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-272.jpg
"What the hell is wrong with me?" Jill muttered as she analyzed what just happened. Suddenly a thought popped into her head.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-273.jpg
(Hey it's Cal, leave a message) BEEP
"Hey Cal....It's Jill. I just wanted to say that I can't wait to see you and I want a second chance. I've really missed you, so if we could talk when you get back, that'd be great..."
"UGH!!" Jill yelled as she shoved her phone in her pocket.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-274.jpg
"What am I doing? Dax is a great guy, Cal and I never worked." Jill thought. and with that she walked out of the bathroom and straight into Dax.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-291.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-290.jpg
"I was being stupid. I'm so sorry for ignoring you for two weeks."
"It's ok...just come here.."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-283.jpg
"So you wanna go party back at my place? My parents are out of town and I live in a penthouse."
The girls giggled and were about to get their things and leave but they were interuppted..
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-284.jpg
"Hey...Ethan."
"What do you want Raina? I got the hint before.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-285.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-287.jpg
"I'm actually not here with anyone anymore. So what do you say we go somewhere a little less....crowded?"
"Uh...yea sure."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-296.jpg
"Man!!! I always feel so awesome after leaving that place. Don't you?"
"It was only my first time...but yeah it was pretty fun."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-297.jpg
"Who was that girl that you waved to? The one leaving with that guy?"
"Oh that was Raina. She's been a bit nutso this summer so she's probably off to hook up with him. So anyway...what's next? I'm sure you have something else we could do. Even though it is one in the morning."
"Nah I've had enough for one night....later!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-298.jpg
"Hey!....what the hell?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-299.jpg
"That had to be the weirdest.....most amazing girl I have ever met.."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-289.jpg
"So we could sneak up to my room. My parents usually go out very early on Sundays. They would never suspect a thing." Jill said as her and Dax headed for the door.
"Oooh sneaky I like it."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-288.jpg
"Hey Jill!! Do you think you could drop us off at my place? Skye here had wayy too much to drink."
"Ah man! This is the fourth time this month! What the hell Ray?"
"Hey don't look at me. This girl knows how to sneak drinks past me."

[Karasu20]

It was finally morning in Hillwood. A morning that seemed like any other.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-303.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-307.jpg
...but this morning was going to be different....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-305.jpg
...because someone was back in town.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-308.jpg
....and he was looking to patch things up with a certain someone.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-310.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-312.jpg
"...well no f***ing way."
"Hey Jonny."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-315.jpg
"Dude!! I see the big apple has changed you a whole lot. Nice hair man."
"Yeah well losing twenty pounds and getting a hipster makeover is what I get for spending three months there."
"Haha. Well I'm pretty sure my sister will be stoked. You can go suprise her. She's probably sleeping off a hangover in her room. We were out pretty late last night."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-316.jpg
"Ohh Jilll..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-317.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-318.jpg
"....wow"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-319.jpg
"Oh!! Caleb wait!!" Jill yelled as she shoved Dax off of her and put on some clothes.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-320.jpg
"Hey what happened? Is she still sleeping?"
"Oh she's awake alright."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-321.jpg
"Caleb!! Please stop I can explain!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-322.jpg
"No Jill I get it. I don't need any explanations."
"Cal ...last night when I called. I didn't mean to..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-325.jpg
"To what? Say that you've missed me? That you want to get back together? CLEARLY you've been seeing someone. I actually thought you wanted to give us another shot."
"I know and I'm so sorry.Dax and I started dating in July and then we sort of stopped. Last night I was having doubts when I saw him again and I called you. I really should not have done that. It was so stupid. Please don't be mad."
"Yeah well it's a little bit late for that."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-324.jpg
"Cal please...."
"I was so stupid this summer. Thinking that we would ever get back together. I should've known at Natalie's party when you rejected me, but then again you did call me after that and then again last night. I guess the new Jill likes to juggle guys like it's a sport. Be sure to warn your new boyfriend that you get bored easily."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-326.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-327.jpg
"Hey who was that?"
"Noone....just an old friend."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-328.jpg
"C'mon let's go back inside. I'll make you some pancakes."
"You are really great Dax. I'm so sorry for this summer."


Ah yes, This morning was VERY different. Everyone was thinking....

....old flames re thinking their future...
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-329.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-330.jpg
"Hi can I get a cab to the Pearl hotel? I'm right outside wearing red."
...others thinking "what the hell did I do last night?"...
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-332.jpg

..A boy thinking that maybe he was a bad influence on his girlfriend.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-334.jpg

....and a couple still going strong, even though one of them was keeping secrets...
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-333.jpg

....but most of all. Someone's parents were wondering where their daughter was this morning.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-335.jpg
"Esther!!! Are you up there?!"
"Chaz did you see her last night?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-336.jpg
"No worries I'm still alive..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-338.jpg
Chaz stared at his daughter with disbelief. "Esther......what have you done?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-339.jpg
"Well dad, I was thinking about what you said yesterday about me running away from my problems. You know problems like that bitch Natalie. So I came to the conclusion that...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-340.jpg
"..maybe I can have my problems run away from me." Esther said with an evil smirk.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Next time:
"Outsiders"
Esther puts on a brave face for the first day of school, but Natalie is not going easy on her. During a confrontation a girl named Audrey steps in. Soon the two become friends and Audrey shows Esther how to really have fun in Hillwood.
Jonny feels alone when he realizes all of his friends are either dating or doing their own thing. Jace tries to help him out by setting him up with a date. What Jonny really wants is to see April again...and he may just get his wish.

I'll probably post it in April.

[Karasu20]

September, 2009. It's been a full year since Esther started highschool. Back then she was a fun bubbly teenager who had great friends.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-34.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-35.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-36.jpg
...Oh how times have changed....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-38.jpg
"Eli says hi from juvie, bitch..." A girl said as she shoved into Esther.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-39.jpg
"Rat!!"
"Freak!!"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-381.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-368.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-369.jpg
"Caleb?!!"
"Oh man, is that you Katie??"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-370.jpg
"I hardly recognized you!!" Caleb exclaimed as he hugged his friend.
"Right back at you! Nice haircut."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-371.jpg
"So how was your summer?"
"Oh well it sort of sucked because my girlfriend dumped me, but then it was pretty awesome. I got a job at a comic book store and I feel like it's not even a job, you know? Everyone there is pretty awesome."
"Sweet, I'll have to come by sometime. I need to catch up on so many issues."
"Yeaaa and you need to tell me all the stuff you did in New York. It's always been my dream to go there."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-372.jpg
Jill sighed as she looked at Caleb talking to Katie. She knew he would still be mad and would probably not want to talk about what happened, but it was at least worth a shot.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-373.jpg
"What?! you actually met them??....oh..er.. hey Jill.."
Caleb ignored her and began to walk towards the school.
"Right...well I'll just leave you two alone...I'll see ya at lunch Cal."
"I don't want to hear it Jill."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-375.jpg
"Cal...please!! We've been best friends for years. Are you really going to stop speaking to me?"
"That's what you get for lying to me."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-376.jpg
"I'll see you around..."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-377.jpg
"Raina, will you stop complaining about everything in the world?! I had four hours of sleep last night. I don't need a bigger headache."
"Hey there." Jill said as she walked over to the siblings.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-379.jpg
"Go to hell."
Jill tried to stammer something, but Raina shoved past her and walked up to the school.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-380.jpg
".....okk....did I miss something?"
"Don't even ask. She is so moody these days that I don't even ask anymore."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-346.jpg
"Oh my god Nat. This is perfect."
"It's just the beginning for that bitch. I can't believe she showed up to school today."
"Shhh she's coming." Jackie said as she pointed to Esther.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-347.jpg
"Look girls, it's the OTHER adams' daughter."
The girls started to laugh and moved out of the way so Esther could see the writing on her locker.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-348.jpg
"Wow how original. You know Nat, I used to have a rat, but then I realized how much you resemble one so I killed her."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-349.jpg
"Because otherwise I would have the urge to puke every time I went in my room."
"Keep making stupid jokes Trescott. At least we don't look like death." Jackie Liu sneered.
"Why don't you go back to the sewer, bitch." Natalie added.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-350.jpg
"Ok and you can go back to prostitution. That is how you get all your nice clothes right? I doubt your brother can afford all that."
Natalie was left speechless.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-351.jpg
"Pfft. For once miss queen bee doesn't have a snappy comeback. Guess you're not as awesome as you thought you were."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-352.jpg
As Esther walked away from Natalie thinking horrible thoughts, she turned the corner and ran into two familiar faces.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-353.jpg
...but they weren't planning on acknowledging her.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-354.jpg
"Hey Jill, it's nice to see you too. Don't worry Skye, you can totally ignore me so you can go back to being a poser pot head so your boyfriend will like you." Esther sneered as her former best friends shoved past her.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-355.jpg
"Oh please, I'm the poser? You look like a walking hot topic advertisement. And don't act like we are supposed to be friendly towards you. We spent the whole summer grounded because of you. You're lucky if I don't deck you in the face right now."
"Try it!! I doubt you're skinny self can even throw a punch!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-356.jpg
"Oh yeah?! You wanna try that theory out?" Skye said ready to attack Esther.
Jill put her arm in front of Skye. "Don't, it's not worth it."
"She is just mad that she lost all of her friends." Skye maliciously whispered.
Esther was about to run up to the two, but she was stopped by Natalie who had seen the whole thing.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-358.jpg
"Don't go near my friends ever again."
"What the hell are you going to do about it?! Last time I checked I beat the crap out of you! Want me to do it again?!!!"
"No thanks...I don't feel like going anywhere near you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-359.jpg
"...or you are just a coward." said a raven haired girl with studded bracelets.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-360.jpg
"Who the hell are you?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-361.jpg
"None of your business...and if you don't leave my sight in five seconds, I will take that pretty little head of yours and shove it into this locker."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-362.jpg
"Pfft...whatever. You better think about who you are sticking up for. This girl is a psycho."
"Better than being a stuck up barbie who is all talk."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-363.jpg
"Wow...thanks. I really hate that girl. I'm Esther."
"Audrey Torres. I know who you are. You're the girl who called the cops on that snob's party."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-365.jpg
"Yup that's how everyone knows me now. Whatever, I'm proud about what I did."
"You should be. Someone needed to take those popular kids down a peg. Listen...if you ever want to hang...you know away from these clones. Give me a call. I can show you how to REALLY party in Hillwood." Audrey said as she wrote her number on Esther's hand.

[Karasu20]

Sorry for the delay. I'm still in school for 3 more weeks, which means finals and graduation.

Also I'm not as invested in this story as I used to be. I feel like I'm writing to noone since there are no comments/feedback. I know people are reading(since views go way up when I post a chapter), but it would be nice if someone actually commented once in a while. It would help keep me motivated =)

I will finish this story though (season 3 will be the last). So no worries..

"Must you guys do this in front of me? I AM your sister!!"
"Sorry hun, Jill will be here any second....oh look there they are!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-387.jpg
"Hey what took you?"
"Dax was still working on his new art project. He's entering it in the citywide art contest."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-388.jpg
"Dude, that's awesome!"
"C'mon let's sit....hey Raina what are you doing?"
"I'm not really feeling cafeteria food today....so I'm gunna go hang out with Cal and Katie."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-389.jpg
"Hey Raina what's up?"
"Are you guys doing anything right now? I really don't want to be fifth wheel with those "perfect" couples over there."
"Yeah, me and Cal are going over to the comic book cafe......you er...wanna come?"
"YES"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-390.jpg
"Raina!! Wait up!"
Raina sighed loud enough for Jill to hear her. "I'll just be a second, Katie. Let me just get rid of her."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-392.jpg
"I'm mad because you went behind my back and hooked up with a guy I liked! You're supposed to be my best friend not a slut who steals my boyfriends!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-391.jpg
Jill tried to stifle her laughter. "Oh please. Like you won't get another guy by tonight? YOU are the slut. I was dating Dax all summer. Maybe if you weren't off being a door knob you would've realized that!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-393.jpg
"SCREW YOU!" Raina yelled fighting back tears.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-394.jpg
"So what you're just going to hang out with my angry ex over there and never speak to me?"
"Go back to your stupid looking boyfriend over there. What I do from now on is none of your business."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-395.jpg
"Jace, your sister is a bitch."
"Not getting involved."

"She's insane!! I can't believe she is accusing me of being something that I'm not!! She was acting way worse all summer and I never said a thing!!"
Dax shook his head, Natalie and Jace remained quiet. Clearly everyone was uncomfortable with this growing feud between Raina and Jill.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-399.jpg
"...er...hey guys. Can I sit?"
"Yeah sure!"
"Sure hon!"
"Yeah man."
Jonny suddenly felt extremely awkward. Was he really destined to be a fifth wheel from now on?
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-401.jpg
"So....."
"I love your hair today, it's very er....wavy....heh." Natalie said as she struggled to break the awkward silence.
"Ok guys this is just awkward. Clearly I'm intruding on a double date here, so I'll uh just leave...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-400.jpg
"No sit. We were actually...uh... just talking about this." Jace blurted out not knowing what else to say.
Natalie glanced at Jace and concocted a lie on the spot "Yup. We were thinking if you wanted to go on a blind date tonight? I have a friend who thinks your cute. This is the perfect opportunity and if you do date we can all hang out."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-402.jpg
"...hmmm... fine, but don't push it. I'll just hang out with the chick. Besides, I still want to find that April girl from this weekend. She was pretty amazing."
"Yeah...sure" Jace mumbled knowing full well that Jonny made up that girl from Saturday night. It was his duty as a best friend to go along with it.



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-403.jpg
"C'mon Skye, It will be sooooo much fun. It's sushi! You love sushi don't you?"
"Yeah, but Ray hates it and besides we have plans."
"....yeah to go get high with his friends. Don't you ever get tired of doing the same exact thing every single day??"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-405.jpg
"You'll definitely love my friends, Es. Trust me, they are ten times more interesting than plastic barbie and her pathetic minions."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-406.jpg
"Yeah well duh.....ugh it's them."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-407.jpg
"Just keep walking, I doubt she can see beyond her fake ass hair." Audrey sneered right in earshot of Natalie.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-408.jpg
"Wow Esther I never would've thought you would start hanging out with trailer trash. As much as I hate you I thought you would do way better."
"...oh boy..." Skye sighed as she jumped off the wall.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-410.jpg
Esther got in Natalie's face as she blocked their path."How about you leave us the hell alone, before I repeat last year."
Audrey stepped forward."...Excuse me, Esther..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-411.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-412.jpg
Skye ran over to Natalie, who was now knocked out. "What the hell?!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-415.jpg
"I warned her not to come near us again. Next time I will give her a broken nose. C'mon Esther..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-417.jpg
".....That was awesome!!"
"No problem...I just don't put up with girls that think they are tough just because they dress like prostitutes and wave pom poms around."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-419.jpg
"That trash better not come near me again or I will RUIN her."Natalie stammered as she tried hard not to cry from the throbbing headache and black eye.
Skye kept quiet knowing full well that Natalie was no match for Audrey and Esther.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-416.jpg
"So where to now?"
"My house....we are going to need jackets, because we are going outside the city."
"Oh...." Esther was starting to get a little nervous. Maybe she did rush into this friendship a little fast.
"Hey....don't worry, we are going to have fun tonight.
----------------------
will be concluded tonight!!!

[CNASara]

HAHA! I'm so excited that someone finally smacked Natalie! I love this story :) Always makes me happy to see a new chapter up. So please, keep it up!

"Guys....I am so bored."
"I dunno, I kinda like this movie."
"Cal...it's a movie about a guy that is in love with his horse. This is the creepiest movie ever. How did you even find this channel, Raina?"
"I dunno I just caught my mom watching it. It has some weird crap sometimes. Anyway, doesn't it bug you guys that everyone is going out tonight and we are stuck here watching lame movies?"
"...Eh...I don't really feel like hanging around my ex girlfriend, especially when she is with that pretty boy."
"I think he's cute..."
"You're gay!"
"So?I can still find a guy good looking, jeez."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-456.jpg
"WHY did I let mom trick me into getting this haircut??? I look like an Asian popstar!!"
"Oh please....Amalia will definitely love it."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-457.jpg
"I don't even know why I agreed to this. I could be at home searching for April on Facebook. Besides, what will I have in common with a cheerleader?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-458.jpg
"I find it really creepy that you are searching for some chick who may or may not be real, on Facebook."
"Shut up and go ring the doorbell!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-461.jpg
"Raina I need to talk to you."
Raina turned around and stared at Natalie,shell shocked.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-462.jpg
"Whoa!! What happened?!"
"Esther's new friend is a crazy bitch. Now I have to go out tonight looking like a boxer....ugh. I swear I am going to ruin that girls life."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-464.jpg
"Nat...maybe you should just back off. She keyed my car, but you don't see me tormenting her. We should just ignore her and act like she doesn't exist."
"Cal if I wanted your opinion I would ask for it."
"Why do you guys hang out with her?" Katie whispered to Caleb.
"Because Jace is dating her and believe it or not she was completely different last year."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-462.jpg
"Anway you have to come out with us tonight! We are going to that new Sushi place on ..... "
"No thanks, I don't want to be anywhere near backstabbing bitch."
"Oh come on....why can't you two just make up?"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-465.jpg
"Oh my god Jonny your hair!!!"
Raina rolled her eyes. She had to think of a way to get out of here fast. The last thing she wanted to do was to make awkward eye contact with Jill and her new boyfriend.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-466.jpg
"Hey Ray....I'm suprised you're here..." Jill nervously mumbled.
"Well I do live here Jill."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-467.jpg
"Hey guys....what's up?"
"Ok I'm bored. Katie, let's go to the boardwalk or something." Caleb said, clearly to annoy Jill.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-468.jpg
"Bye bye. Have fun on your date." Raina sarcastically said with a smile on her face.
Jill stayed silent. She wasn't used to three people hating her.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-469.jpg
"That wasn't awkward at all. Why didn't you tell me they were all here?"
"Erm....slipped my mind?"
Jonny rolled his eyes. " Nat....you are a terrible liar."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-420.jpg
"So where are we going?"
"Just up this hill. We'll probably get there in like twenty minutes."
"And what's on this hill? A party?"
"Not exactly.It's just a few people getting drunk and having a good time. The cops can never find us up here."



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-421.jpg
"Brr.. it's getting cold."
"Just ten more minutes. We have a fire pit up there."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-422.jpg
"Wow....this really is in the middle of nowhere.."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-423.jpg
"Yo Audrey!!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-424.jpg
"What the hell bitch? You started without us???"
"Yeah!! Jay just passed out like five minutes ago. You came just in time for round two. We have like six pills left. "
"Nice...Oh hey this is my friend."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-428.jpg
"....Esther?!" What the hell?"
"....you know eachother?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-426.jpg
"Jade....well this is a suprise."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-427.jpg
"So what? Natalie finally made you into a social outcast? Took her long enough. Listen, just because you feel like rebelling against mommy and daddy doesn't mean we are going to be friends. You can hang out with Audrey all you want..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-429.jpg
"...Just stay the hell away from me."
"Nice to see she is still a bitch."
"Sorry Es, I didn't realize you two knew eachother. I'm guessing your both casualties of Natalie?"
"Something like that. Whatever, introduce me to your other friends."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-430.jpg
"Hey this is Es. She's chill."
"What up girl....I'm Ronny and this is my girl Jess."
Esther shook the boys hand "Hi....erm Hey.." She stammered trying not to sound lame.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-431.jpg
"Alright I'm ready to lose my mind."
"Yeah man, we scored some X. Shit is real good."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-433.jpg
"Audrey I never did drugs before.....what if it's bad?"
"Stop being a loser Es, trust me....this will be fun."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-434.jpg
Esther was definitely starting to get nervous. She didn't realize what kind of person Audrey really was. But she wasn't about to nark out on them.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-435.jpg
"C'mon!!!!"
Esther took a deep breath and grabbed a pill...



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-472.jpg
Jill clapped her hands as she saw the beautiful array of sushi in front of them. "oohh there's so much to choose from!!"
"Leave some for me!" Dax laughed as he helped himself to some california rolls.
On the other side of the table Jace eyed the green bottles. "I like the japanese beer and how they didn't even card us."
"Shh...not so loud hun."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-474.jpg
"So...you're Japanese? You must eat this stuff all the time then...heheh. Do you use chopsticks like every day? That is sooooo cool. I would love to do that, but I have no coordination which is probably weird considering I'm a cheerleader."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-475.jpg
"....that's ....er....yeah."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-476.jpg


Meanwhile, Esther's world had suddenly turned into a psychedelic haze.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-436.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-437.jpg
All around her people were shouting and running, but it all felt worlds away from her....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-438.jpg
"Oh wow....I'm floating!!!"
As the night went on, colors starting changing and time moved faster and faster..
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-439.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-440.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-444.jpg
"Es.....are you...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
But then there was nothing, just
BLACK




http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-479.jpg"So then Jace told the guy that he had a super hot model girlfriend and that he didn't swing that way. haha"
"NO it did not happen that way! I didn't say those exact words...jeez."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-480.jpg
"Er yeah I'm getting kind of tired so I think I'll head home. Here's the money I owe you." Jonny said as he laid ten dollars on the table.
Amalia started to get up from her seat"I could walk you out, maybe we can get some icecream???"
"No thanks. I'll uh....call you."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-482.jpg
*SIGH* "That was the worst date I have ever been on.."
"Oh so I guess our date didn't count?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-483.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-484.jpg
"April......I found you."
"Yeah you did....again ...heh."
"I've been trying to find you for days. That night was seriously the best night I've had in a long time, but then you ran away."
"Well my theory is that if I run into someone twice in a row like that, we are destined to meet again. I guess that makes me a freak."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-485.jpg
"No.....you're pretty amazing. I've never met a girl like you before."
"...Are you going to kiss me now or what?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-486.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-487.jpg
"C'mon let's go have a proper first date, skater boy."
"Right behind you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-489.jpg
"You're not going to run away again are you?"
"Nah, only if you take me somewhere really boring. For a second I thought you were going to take me to that sushi place."
"Never.."

[Karasu20]

It was 6 am and Esther had just woken up.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-446.jpg
Last night was both scary......
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-447.jpg
....and unreal
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-448.jpg
and it was definitely time to go....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-449.jpg
"What the hell happened last night?" She thought to herself. She had never taken drugs and had never been so out of control. Maybe she shouldn't be hanging out with this crowd afterall.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-450.jpg
"Es....where are you going?!"
"Home....my parents are going to kill me."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-451.jpg
"Audrey you guys are really cool and everything, but I don't think I can do that again. That was the scariest experience of my life. If that's what you do every night then I don't want any part of it. I'm sorry."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-452.jpg
"Don't be such a loser. You know damn well if you keep hanging out with us, people will know to back off. Unless you want to spend the next three years as the biggest joke this school has ever seen, which I know you don't, then you will quit being such a nark and do what I say. So let's go back up there, wake everyone up and get some food."
"Fine...I guess." Esther mumbled. Clearly Audrey was crazier than she let on, but she was right. Esther would rather have friends and be feared than alone and be hated.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-454.jpg
"Good,This is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship Es, I promise you."



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-7.jpg
"So you basically ditched us to go on some earth shattering date with your mystery girl?"
"I didn't say earth shattering dude, but it was pretty awesome."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-8.jpg
"Yeah well you better apologize to Amalia. The girl was on the verge of tears."
" Already did and I told her it wasn't her it was me...blah blah. Anyway I have to get to the main office, apparently they want me to sign something. Catch ya lata!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-9.jpg
"Hey Natalie, you're looking rather luminous today."
"Don't sweet talk me. Jace told me you ditched us for some girl."
"I apologize, that was a mistake on my part and I made it all better, so farewell!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-11.jpg
"Is he on happy pills?"
"Nah he apparently found his soul mate or something."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-12.jpg
"Gross why don't you go make out in front of someone elses locker."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-13.jpg
"Gross why are you wearing the same skeezy outfit from yesterday? Were you hanging out in the graveyard all night or at the dump?"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-15.jpg
"It's nice to see you haven't changed a bit Natalie. You're still ragging on people to make yourself feel better."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-16.jpg
"Jade...."
"What happened to you?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-18.jpg
"I grew a brain and realized there was more to life than just cheerleading and walking around being the biggest bitch on the planet. Maybe you should try it sometime."
"Or you were just mad that Jace dumped you for me..."
"Nat c'mon let's just get out of here. She's not worth our time."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-19.jpg
"Yeah run away. I guess you are still having girls fight your battles, Jace. Have fun going through life being known as a p****!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-20.jpg
"That was...er..."
"Don't act like we are friends now. As much as I hate you, I hate them ten times more."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-23.jpg
"I hate that we have twenty minutes till class." Cal said as he slumped on the locker.
"Yeah well I hate that we have a double period with Mr. Keegan, the guy is so boring he makes watching grass grow look fun."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-24.jpg
"Hey guys..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-25.jpg
"Listen I know you're probably getting tired of me apologizing, but I'm going to keep doing it. I want us all to be friends again. There's no need for this hostility."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-27.jpg
"Shouldn't you be off screwing your boyfriend or something?" Cal snapped as he walked past Jill.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-28.jpg
"Hmm...I liked him better when he was socially awkward and totally in love with you."
"...Yeah tell me about it.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-30.jpg
"So can we be friends again? I'm sorry I called you a doorknob."
"I suppose...without you I only have Natalie and I guess Skye when she's not off getting high behind a dumpster. I'm sorry for being a jealous bitch. I guess my hormones were off yesterday."
"Gross..hahaha"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-31.jpg
"Hey ladies....you ready for boring history with Mr. boring?"
"Oh yeahhh!!" Raina yelled as she jumped on Jonny's back.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-32.jpg
"Piggy back time!!"
"Gah! Are you two friends again?"
"Well duh. We will always be friends. Now tell me about that April girl."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Episode%202/Screenshot-33.jpg
"Oh please don't, he talked my ear off for an hour last night. I had to apologize for saying she wasn't real."
"Well Raina...it's a fascinating story...."

-----------------------------------------------
Next time:
Natalie tries desperately to hide the fact that she is broke and that her brother is out of a job. She even resorts to shoplifting . A fellow model offers her a way out, and Natalie accepts even though it may ruin her relationship with Jace.
Caleb is getting fed up with seeing Dax and Jill wherever he goes. He tries to not let it bother him so he goes to a rave with Raina,Ray, Skye,Jonny and April. One thing leads to another and he ends up waking up on the beach the next morning next to someone unexpected.

[CNASara]

I'M SO EXCITED! :D

I can't wait for Natalie to get what's coming for her. I'm glad Esther has SOMEONE, even if she is kind of a messed up druggy...
I wish Caleb and Jill would just figure stuff out :< They were my favorite couple...
Also, I feel so bad for Skye! Once again, one of my favorites and she's been reduced to a pothead. Also, Jace is such a tool! :( And I can already tell April is going to be a fave of mine.

Keep it up, chicka! Loving these chapters!

[Karasu20]

Thank you for commenting =)

You will definitely understand why Natalie is the way she is in the next chapter lol (you may even feel bad for her =0 )

Audrey is more than just a messed up druggy...she is CRAZY.

Caleb and Jill are over,but who knows whats in the future. They still have another two years of high school ; )

I have big plans for Skye, so don't worry. She will be more than just a pothead =P. Chapter 4 will focus mostly on her and Ray and how he has been affecting her choices in life.

I also have plans for Jace and hopefully he becomes more interesting. There are some underlying things going on with him that you will probably notice in the next chapter. But for now he is just a typical jock =P

[Karasu20]

This will be the last update for a while, because:
I will be getting showtime so I'll be renovating the neighborhood a little.
I'm going to Nicaragua in July
I'll be taking my veterinary technician license exam(which means lots of studying)

I won't give up on this story though, so don't worry ;). In the fall I'll update more, I promise!!

"Perfect Nat, just hold it right there."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-4.jpg
"Sweet. Now go get changed for the next one."
"Thanks Carter."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-6.jpg
"You are channeling Twiggy for sure!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-500.jpg
"A word, miss Kenrick."
"Uh...yeah sure." Natalie nervously said. Mr. Chansworth was her manager and he only spoke to models privately when something was wrong.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-501.jpg
"Is there a problem sir?"
"Yes. I'm afraid this whole blond ditz thing just isn't working out. It was fine for the summer, but now that it's fall we need models who are edgy."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-502.jpg
"But two months ago you told me to dye my hair blonde because it suits me better!"
"Yeah well welcome to the real world honey. Things change and things get outdated. Including you."

"Come back with a new hair color and maybe we can talk. As for now, wash your face and return those clothes. They make you look cheap."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-508.jpg
"Hi Rolanda, I was wondering if you could pencil me in for tomorrow? I need to get my hair dyed for a shoot.....ok thanks, mwah"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-510.jpg
Natalie walked into her living room to find Matt,her brother, and his girlfriend Lily. They seemed very stressed and for some reason had paperwork in front of them.
"Uh...what's going on?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-511.jpg
"I was going to tell you this eventually,but it's come to a point where I can't hide it anymore."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"The restaurant went bankrupt.....we're broke."
"Bro....broke?"
"Yes which means I'll have to take your credit card. Also we are going to sell the car."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-513.jpg
"What?! I have a shoot this week. I have to go to the salon, I have plans!! You can't just drop this bomb and expect me to change my life in five seconds!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-514.jpg
An agitated Lily stepped forward. "Listen you little brat. We took you in when you had nowhere else to go. You will do as we say or you can go back to living with your horrible mother."
Natalie teared up. Was her whole world really falling apart? What else could possibly go wrong?
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-516.jpg
"Also you're going to have to get a real job. Your modeling gig can barely pay the cable."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-515.jpg


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-9.jpg
"Jeez that class way too boring."
"Totally, Can Garretson be any more montone? Chemistry is boring enough, why do we need to listen to his droning voice for 50 minutes?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-11.jpg
As the two headed outside for lunch, they passed by Jill and Dax who were cuddling on the couch.
"Hey Jill."
Caleb rolled his eyes at this.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-13.jpg
"Is it just me or is Dax like the better looking, less neurotic more boring version of me?"
Raina giggled. "Cal those types of thoughts you keep inside your head. Unless you want to sound totally self involved."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-14.jpg
"Whatever, not my fault that Jill hasn't gotten over me. It's the only reason she's dating him really."
"...oh hey Skye and Ray are already here. Hey guys!!" Raina shouted, desperately trying to change the subject."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-15.jpg
"So don't you agree?"
"...err..."
Katie walked over and pulled up a chair. "What's up guys."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-18.jpg
"Oh nothing, just Caleb talking about Jill and Dax, AGAIN."
"Dude you need to get over her, it's been a month."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-19.jpg
"I agree and what better way to get over someone than to get drunk and go to a rave?"
"Say what?" Raina piped in.
"Yeah, Friday night. It's five bucks to get in. Me and Skye go all the time."
"I'll go, where is it?" Raina asked.
"It's right near that stupid bar we went to that one time."Skye said referring to the bar they went to over a year ago.
"Sorry, I can't make it. I have to go to my Aunt's wedding. It's the third one in three years. Anyway who wants to get food?" Katie asked as she got up. Raina and Skye followed her.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-20.jpg
"I just need to get a book from my car. I'll meet you guys at the line."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-24.jpg
"So Friday, are you going to make a move on Caleb or what?"
"Yeah right, if he can ever get over Jill. Besides he doesn't see me that way. We're just friends."
"Since when is Raina Loukas afraid to take a chance with a boy? Aren't you the girl who lost her virginity to Robbie Harris? And what about all those other guys? If you ask me it's time you settle for a nice guy."
"Whatever, I guess I could try but I'm not promising anything."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-21.jpg
"I'm telling you man, By Saturday night you and Raina will hook up. It's bound to happen."
"Ray, I don't like her that way. Besides, what about Jill?"
"Jill has a boyfriend dude. It's time to let go of the past and move on. If you ask me, Raina is pretty smokin' this year."
"Yeah she is, but she would never go for me. She has way more experience, I'll always be her virginal friend."



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-26.jpg
"I'll explain why I cut school, just please come outside, Jill. It's an emergency!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-27.jpg
"Haha...is it Halloween already?"
"What are you supposed to be? An acid trip gone wrong?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-28.jpg
"No no Audrey, I think she's supposed to be a victim of someone throwing up on her head."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-29.jpg
"And you call us freaks? Funny."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-30.jpg
"Nat.......what....happened?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-31.jpg
"I had to go get my hair dyed fast so I went to the mall. The lady was so clueless, I told her I wanted dark brown hair. She gets out BLACK hair dye and spills it all over my head!! It took her half an hour to get it out. Now I'm stuck looking like this....and I have to go back to a photoshoot in two days!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-33.jpg
"What am I going to do??" Natalie sobbed.
"Listen, I can get you in at my mom's salon this afternoon. We can go there now if you like."
"Really?....*sniff*....what about money? I uh....I left my wallet at home." Natalie said hoping the two would believe her lie.
"It's fine, it would be a favor to me. My mom won't mind."
--------------------------------
part two will be up on Tuesday!!

[Karasu20]

Sorry for the delay everyone!!!

I just had so much to do this week. I have the chapter done, I just need to edit the pictures and actually post it >.<.

I promise there will be an update by the end of the week

[Karasu20]

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-34.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-35.jpg
"And what's in it for me, Jill?"
"I'll speak highly of you to my mother? C'mon Davey, my friend's hair is a disaster and she needs to fix it for a job."
"Alright fine but you are in my debt."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-36.jpg
"Yeeesh. This will take a while."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-37.jpg
"Well?"
"Fantastic, you are going to blow your agent away with that hair."


It was Friday and Natalie had run to the studio straight from school.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-38.jpg
*sigh*

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-39.jpg
"Who the hell are you?"
"...Natalie...Mr. Chansworth. I dyed my hair like you said. Is this good enough?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-40.jpg
"Oh you....well we decided to use another model for the campaign. She is taller and more modelesque. I guess you could go back to cheerleading or whatever it is you peppy little teenagers do."
"What?? I thought you said if I dyed my hair I would be able to work still!!"
"No I said maybe....things change honey. Now if you will excuse me I need to go oversee the photoshoot."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-43.jpg
"By the way....in case you didn't realize, you're fired."



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-44.jpg
" Natalie? I brought Jill. She might have some good news."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-45.jpg
"What's the point? With the way things have been going I might as well drop out of school and work at Mcdonalds for the rest of my life."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-46.jpg
"C'mon Nat it's not that bad."
"Really, Jill? I just got fired!! I'm bro....I'm a nobody now!!" Natalie stuttered.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-47.jpg
Jace lifted Natalie off the bed."Stop being so negative. Just listen to what Jill has to say. I promise it will make you happy."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-49.jpg
"Ok so Tomorrow my mom is having a little party. All the important fashion people will be there. I asked if I could invite two people and she said yes."
"What...are you serious?!"
"Yup so be ready to talk to some people, maybe you can actually get a job out of it."
"Jill you rock!!!"
"No problem. Anyway, I'll leave you two alone. Dax is waiting outside, we are going to a movie."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-50.jpg
"By the way wear something fancy.....both of you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-51.jpg
"See? I told you babe, everyone is going to love you tomorrow. You are gorgeous."
Natalie grinned from ear to ear. Her crappy week was finally coming to an end.


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-99.jpg
"Oh my god, I'm not ready Jace."
Jace looked up as he locked his car. "Nat you're just nervous. You look amazing!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-100.jpg
"Yeah? Compared to who? Esther and her hideous friends?"
Jace walked over and put his arm around Natalie.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-101.jpg
"Compared to any model that's in there right now."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-102.jpg
"There you are!! You guys look great."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-103.jpg
"Wow Jill.....you look like a model. Remind me again why you aren't one?"
"Because I like to eat."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-104.jpg
"Hello there."
"Hi Mrs. Tresier" Natalie and Jace said in unison.
"I trust you will behave? I don't normally invite teenagers to these things."
"Sorry, she's kind of a bitch." Jill whispered as her mom walked away. But Natalie was focused on other people...
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-105.jpg
"What is he doing here?!"
"That's your ex manager? Oh I would love to kick his a...."
"Hey guys come over here and meet someone!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-106.jpg
"Jill darling, I haven't seen you since you were fourteen. My you've grown."
"Yup I'm sixteen now haha. Oh these are my friends....Jace and Natalie."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-107.jpg
"Guys this is Rupert D'claire. He's a celebrity stylist. "
"Wow hi...I'm Natalie...I'm actually an aspiring model."
"Really? You are beautiful darling."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-108.jpg
"See? Everyone loves you."
"Yeah right. Everyone says I'm beautiful but they keep saying that you should be a model. This sucks, I'm going home."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-109.jpg
"Oh c'mon, Don't be like that...."
"Jill?!"
"Oh my god, Liam!!!!" Jill screamed as she ran over to her friend.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-110.jpg
"Guys this is Liam, we've known each other since we were ten. I didn't know you moved back!!"
"Yeah....LA was a little too fast paced. Plus the high school kinda sucked. So now I'm back. Finishing my senior year here."
"Ahh!! That's amazing. Is your boyfriend here?"
"Nah Eric had to go to work. He bartends downtown. So who are your friends?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-111.jpg
"Oh my god sorry. This is Natalie and her boyfriend Jace."
"Hah nice to meet you. So did you eat yet? I was about to go to the buffet."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-112.jpg
"He's cute." Liam whispered.
"Don't even try, Liam. He's totally straight."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-113.jpg
"I'll join you guys in a sec." Natalie called. She wanted to walk by her ex manager.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-114.jpg
"Ah this is just what I was talking about. Here is an excellent example of a stuck up snob who thinks she can model. I learned my lesson. No more hiring cheerleaders from high school." Mr. Chansworth sneered.
"Unless they are 5 inches taller...haha" Laughed the lanky model.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-115.jpg
"Let me ask you something Mr. Chansworth...Does it make you feel good to trash a sixteen year old girl constantly? Does it make up for the fact that you are shriveled old man who probably hasn't gotten any in twenty years?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-116.jpg
"Man this stuff looks delicious." Jace exclaimed.
"Hey Jace why is your girlfriend arguing with that guy over there?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-117.jpg
Jace rolled his eyes. "I knew this would happen. Whatever, she needs to get it out of her system. I'll just leave it be."
"Yeah well I hope she doesn't cause a scene, because my mother will kill me."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-118.jpg
"Oh please honey, go back to painting your nails or something. I don't need your teenage angst right now. Who even let you into this party? It's supposed to be for professionals only."
"How about you apologize!! You have no right to treat me this way. I worked for you for three months!!"
"Yeah?! I also payed you. Now get out of my sight before I send you back where you came from!!" He yelled starting to get agitated.
"Well how about I send you right into the pool!!!" Natalie yelled as she shoved him hard enough for him to lose balance.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-119.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-120.jpg
"You will never work in this town again you little skank."
"Oh my that was a five hundred dollar suit!! How could you be so vile?!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-121.jpg
People started to gather around the pool. They were either laughing or staring at Natalie with shock.
"You will pay for this!!! Get me out of this pool this instant!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-122.jpg
"Sorry guess that was my teenage angst acting up."
"You will be hearing from my lawyers!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-123.jpg
As Natalie confidently walked out of the party, a gentleman eyed her from the bar.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-124.jpg
"She's perfect.."
------------------------
part three tomorrow!!!

[Hladgunnr]

This is great! I honestly love this.

[Karasu20]

Thank you so much =)

I meant to post part three today, but I bought showtime and I've just been playing it. I promise within the next two days I will have it posted xD.

Good news though: I redecorated the town so I'll start on chapter four this week!

[Karasu20]

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-52.jpg
"Ok I thought this April girl lived alone."
"Yeah well Jonny said she did. I was imagining an apartment or something...This is....incredible."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-53.jpg
"Finally!! Everyone is inside already. What took you so long?"
"Sorry we got lost."
"How the hell do you own this place???" Raina shouted.
"Easy, my parents are mega rich. They decided they didn't want to live here anymore so I got emancipated and they gave me the house."
"Wow...you sure are lucky."
"Yup...now get inside, we need to pregame because drinks at this rave are hella expensive."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-55.jpg
"Raina I never drank before. I uh.....don't really know how?"
"Hahaha Cal you just drink like you would drink a soda, jeez. I thought being in New York for three months would help you be less sheltered. Didn't your cousins take you out?"
"Well yeah to shows, I couldn't go to the bars or anything."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-56.jpg
"What up!!!! I got Jack and Coke. Let's get s***faced!!!" Ray yelled as he walked from the kitchen with a bottle of Jack in his hand.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-57.jpg
"I hope I don't get too drunk..."
"Cal stop worrying. Act like a normal 17 year old for once."
"Fine, but don't blame me if I start to act like a crazy person."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-125.jpg
"Jill that is the last time your friends will ever step into my house!!! Mr. Chansworth is a drenched mess. He just drove away and I probably lost him as a client!!"
"Mom, I'm sorry. I don't know what got into her. Natalie is never like that!"
" I don't care!!! Just get them out of here!!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-127.jpg
"Still no sign of her?"
"Nope. Honestly I don't care. For weeks now Natalie has been acting like a stuck up princess. I only put up with her because I feel bad. "
"So why are you with her, dude?"
"Because last year she was fun....I don't know what happened."
"Well, she is crazy to treat you like that. You're a great guy."
"Thanks.."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-126.jpg
"That was some stunt you pulled."
"Yeah...that jackass just drove away. I even saw him crying. I'm sorry who are you?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-128.jpg
"Jackson Renior. I run a ...uh business."
"Yeah and?"
"I want you to come work for me. You got the right look and you got balls. That's what kind of girl we need right now."
"What is this job? Modeling?"
"You could say that. You have to be eighteen though. We take some risque pictures, but you get the big bucks for them. 500 a shoot."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-129.jpg
"Wait....is this porn? Listen I may be desperate for cash, but I'm not that desperate."
"No,no nothing like porn. Just lingerie or a sexy bikini....kinda like Maxim. Except we put them online and customers pay to see them."
A little voice in Natalie's head was telling her no, but another voice was telling her she needs the money and this was the perfect way to get it.
"Yeah...I'm eighteen."
"Cool...here's my card. You could come in tomorrow for a little audition, but I'm pretty sure you'll make it. Brunettes are very popular."
As Jackson walked away, Jill walked through the gate. Natalie quickly shoved the card into her shoe. She prayed that Jill didn't hear any of that.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-130.jpg
"Hey, there you are. Listen, you guys have to leave. My mom is having a meltdown."
"Uh huh...just...um tell Jace I'm out here."
"Sure. Also don't get bummed out. I'm sure you'll find a job eventually."
"Yeah I'm sure I will too."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-132.jpg
"So then I told the guy that I was the son of a famous musician and that if he didn't let us into the bar he would be hearing from my lawyers."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-131.jpg
"Hahahaha...dude no way. That's pretty awesome."
Jill raised her eyebrow at the two. It was almost as if they were....flirting?
"Ahem."
"Oh hey Jill."
"Jace, Nat is outside waiting."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-133.jpg
"Yeah, yeah...hey Liam I'll see you at school. Maybe I can actually show you how to play soccer...you know a real sport."
"Whatever man...just as soon as you learn how to play tennis!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-134.jpg
"Liam you really don't want to go there right now. Do you want Erik to know that you are flirting with straight guys?"
"There's nothing to worry about, Jilly. I'll see you at school."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-58-1.jpg
"Skye this is amazing!!!!"
"I guess so.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-59-1.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-60.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-61.jpg
"Smoke on the roof?"
"Sure, man. I'm not nearly drunk enough. Yo Cal you wanna come?!"
"No...thanks I'm pretty drunk haha."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-62.jpg
"You guys have fun. I want to actually dance, not stand around being dazed and confused." Skye said as she followed April to the dance floor.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-64.jpg
"So Cal, you drunk enough to dance?"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-65.jpg

An hour had gone by and everyone was off in their little world. Jonny and Ray were high as a kite, Skye had walked off somewhere and Raina was having fun with the new Caleb.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-67.jpg
"Wow I have never seen Caleb dance, or actually be social! We need to get him drunk more often."
At that moment, a Skrillex song came on.
"Ahh!!! Dance with me Jonny!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-73.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-70.jpg
"Skye...why are you over here?"
"Just needed a break. Also I noticed that Esther and her trashy friends are here. I guess she's a lesbian now."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-68.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-71.jpg
"Woah! Guess Cal and Raina are going off for some alone time."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-72.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-75.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-76.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-81.jpg
"Alright it's already 4. We need to Go Jonny."
"Fine, I guess they went home already."


About an hour later, the two were starting to wake up.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-82.jpg
Raina stood up, feeling dizzy. Then she looked down and at Caleb. Did they.....?
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-86.jpg
"Caleb...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-87.jpg
"Let's not talk about it here. Let's just grab our clothes and get out of here. I have the hangover from hell."




Raina returned to Cal's house later that day. She had to talk about what happened or it was going to drive her insane.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-138.jpg
"Hi Mr. Bates. Is Cal home?"
"Yup he's on the balcony."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-139.jpg
"Hey Cal.."
"Raina...hi. Listen I have alot of homework to do. Can we just talk at school?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-140.jpg
"No stop. Look after last night I've realized something. I like you....a lot."
"Raina....I..."
"It's just as much a surprise to me as it is to you. I've been with a lot of guys, but you're the first one that can actually treat me right. In the past month we have hung out practically every day. I know there's something between us."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-141.jpg
"There is...trust me. There has been for a long time now. It's just...."
"What?"
"I don't get why you would like me. I'm a nerd, a loser, a prude. I'm still hung up over Jill even though she is clearly over me. You deserve someone better."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%203/Screenshot-142.jpg
"Cal...none of that matters to me. I happen to like all your quirks. I like that you are a nice guy and that I can be myself around you."
"Yeah, but....."
"Ugh Cal just shutup!"

"Hey Jace."
"No I'm fine, just doing some shopping at the mall. I'll call you later though, I'm actually in line about to pay for a skirt."

Sorry for the delay.
1.) I rebuilt the town with all the showtime stuff, and then my game deleted the town! Thankfully i had two save files, but now i have to rebuild everything again -___-
2.) I've been studying for my license test.
3.) I go to Nicaragua in two weeks.

So this will probably be the last update for a while. Hopefully you guys like it =P

-------------------------------------------------
It was late....almost morning....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-17.jpg
Esther's world was spinning....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-19.jpg
...common these days....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-18.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-20.jpg
"Oh....my...god. I can't feel my lips." Esther stuttered as her and Audrey hung out outside the rave.
"That's your nerves going numb...hahahahaha."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-21.jpg
"You look like a blob!!!"
"C'mon stupid, let's get you home. Can't have mommy and daddy grounding you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-23.jpg
"Let's run!!!!!"
"Shit.. you are so lame. You barely took anything!!"
"Whatever alligator!!!hahahaha."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-45.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-11.jpg
"Hey mom, I'm going out....to the park. Then I'm going to a sleepover."
"With who?"
"Raina and Jill, who else?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-12.jpg
"Kiddo, don't you have midterms this week? You should be studying. Yesterday we let it slide since it was Saturday."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-13.jpg
"Dad,I'm passing all my classes I swear. Besides, Jill and Raina said they could help me study tonight. Please???"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-14.jpg
"Just let her go, Kev.It's just a sleepover."
"Fine, but promise that you will study tomorrow morning?"
"I promise...see you tomorrow."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-15.jpg
"Too easy." Skye mumbled under her breath.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-16.jpg
"Going out with Ray again?"
"Shouldn't you be out with your lame college friends?"
"Actually I am studying for midterms, just like you should be. Have fun with your pothead boyfriend."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-48.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-49.jpg
"Morning sunshine..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-50.jpg
"Why are you guys in my room?"
"This isn't your room sweetheart. This is the living room and it is already noon. Why did you fall asleep here?" Fiona asked as she sat on the other couch.
Chaz stood up also and put his hand on his daughter's shoulder. "I think It's time we talk about your recent behavior."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-51.jpg
"Ok seriously, I fell asleep on the couch. It's not the end of the world!! "
"Also your bad test grades, skipping class, coming home smelling like smoke. You are going down the wrong road. We are just trying to help."
"I don't need your help!!! I need you to back the hell off!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-52.jpg
"I'm going upstairs, I have a midterm tomorrow."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-53.jpg
"I'm sorry Chaz, but if this continues I have no choice but to play the bad guy and send her to the military school. Your way is just not working. We will never get through to her."
"Let's just give it until the end of the semester. Maybe two weeks away from school will mellow her out. I'm sure it's just a phase."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-54.jpg
"Ten? Alright I'll have to sneak out. I'll meet you downtown. Later, Audrey."



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-29.jpg
"Ray you ever think that all we ever do is smoke pot?" Skye suddenly said as she finished off her joint.
"No way...we do other stuff...like go to raves.."
"..where we smoke..."
"...what about when we go to the diner?"
"...after we smoke because we have the munchies.."
"Fine...we do smoke a lot, but I thought that's what you liked to do."
"I did at first, but now it's just so boring. I used to be apart of drama club and environment club. I went to the beach on weekends and sometimes I would just goof off on the boardwalk all day. Don't you want to do other stuff?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-30.jpg
"Skye, what is this about? It sounds to me like you want a break or..."
"Oh shit! It's my parents!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-31.jpg
Skye suddenly began to cough. "Crap...crap they are going to know we are high. Crap!!!"
"Dude it will be fine!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-32.jpg
"Oh my god, I'm going to be grounded for the rest of my life. I'll never see daylight again."
"Woah Skye you're going into paranoid mode. Calm down! They are walking over."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-33.jpg
Skye straightened up and took a deep breath. "Ok...ok just act natural."
Ray started whistling and tapping his legs.
"Natural...not suspicious!!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-34.jpg
"Heyyyy dad..."
"Skye, aren't you supposed to be at Raina's house?" Kevin Bailey said as he raised his eyebrow.
"Uh yeah, but um I bumped into my...er...friend Ray over here and we decided to hang out...heh."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-35.jpg
"Oh Skye, you don't have to hide things. Is this your boyfriend?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-36.jpg
"Heh....well yeah I guess you could say that. This is...er...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-37.jpg
"Ray Taj at your service!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-39.jpg
"Well Ray, you seem like a cool guy. Hope to sit down and formally get to know you, but for now can we please have a moment with our daughter?"
"Sure dude.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-40.jpg
"So a boyfriend you never told us about?"
"Mom, I was going to tell you....when the time was right." Skye said struggling to sound as sober as possible.
"Well we are going to have to have a dinner. To get to know him and all that. Make sure he's....right for you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-41.jpg
"So invite him over tonight. We will leave you two alone to....er..continue whatever you were doing."
"Wow thanks dad, you are surprisingly cool about this.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-43.jpg
"Whew, I thought they would've at least smelled the weed.."
"Ray, they were acting way too nice. I think they are on to us."
"That's the paranoia man!!! "
"Sure, sure.....anyway dinner is at six I guess."
Skye was beginning to think that maybe her parents did know about the weed. Maybe this dinner was just a way for them to confront her about it. She was hoping Ray was right and that she was just being paranoid.


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-56.jpg
"C'mon go for the hundred..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-55.jpg
"Hell yeah!!!"
"Congrats you are a skee ball champ for the fifth time today, now can we go eat?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-57.jpg
"I am going to die from starvation and then you will be left without an awesome boyfriend."
"Wow you are such a loser!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-58.jpg
"Oh yeah? How about I throw you off the pier!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-60.jpg
"I'll take you with me!!"
At that moment, the Tresiers spotted the couple.
"Whoa, mom...dad. I didn't know you had a social life."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-61.jpg
"Very funny, Jonothan. Shouldn't you be at home studying with your sister?"
"Uh, mom...I doubt she is studying. She is probably hanging out with Dax since you guys are out of the house."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-62.jpg
"Don't be smart. I want you home before the sun goes down. When we get back you better be in your room studying."
Jean stepped forward. "Who is this, Jonny?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-63.jpg
"Oh wow sorry. This is my girlfiend, April."
"Girlfriend?" Yuna said as she looked closely at April.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-65.jpg
"Hi Mr. Tresier. Sorry to keep Jonny out this late. We were just playing skeeball and then I was going to take him home."
"Well you seem like a lovely girl. I say you come over for dinner tomorrow night so we can all get acquainted."
As Jean said this, Yuna rolled her eyes. Obviously she did not approve of April at all.
"Sure thing!"
"Right well we better get going, dad. I'll see you at home later."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%204/Screenshot-66.jpg
"Ok that was totally unexpected. I didn't want you to meet them yet....they can be a little much."
"Your dad is so nice! Didn't really get a chance to talk to your mom though. She seemed very strict. You sure she will like me?"
"Uh....yeah sure. C'mon McDonald's is calling our name."
Jonny was in fact not sure. If his mother disapproved of Kari, her own stepdaughter, then there was no way she would approve of April, who was a high school dropout herself.

part two tonight!!

I Love This!

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-67.jpg
"Mmmmm...something smells delicious."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-68.jpg
"It's my new recipe. Ray likes Italian food right?"
"He likes any food. Dad, are you going to set the table?"
"Or you could do it kiddo.."
"Fine...what...
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-72.jpg
"Oh my god it's him!"
"Just in time too, I'm starving."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-73.jpg
"You're like fifteen minutes early!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-74.jpg
"Sorry I uh....heh"
Skye sniffed Ray's jacket and a familiar smell hit her.
"Oh my god are you high?!" She frantically whispered
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-75.jpg
"What....I thought your parents would be cool. Your dad has tattoos hehe"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-76.jpg
"They are not that cool!!! How could you do this? If my parents find out they will never let me go out with you again."
"Skye...chill outtttt."
"No! Just sit at the table and try to act normal. We can get through this, I'll do the talking."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-77.jpg
"You know Edith, you look just like this girl I used to know. She was in a punk band..."
"Actually....my parents were in a punk band, back in the 80's. So dad, did you know Ray here is an HONORS student and he will be going pre med next year?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-80.jpg
"That's lovely. I didn't realize he was a senior...."
"Oh um yea, but relax he just turned seventeen like four months ago.haha."
Skye was suddenly worried that her parents did not approve of Ray.
"Guys.....I am so high...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-79.jpg
"Oh....my....god." Skye groaned under her breath.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-78.jpg
"You're what?!"
"Dude it's fine!! I mean you were in a punk band. You were probably a huge pothead!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-81.jpg
"Skye...before at the park I knew you were smoking pot, but I figured it was you just being a teenager. I tried my first joint in high school, so that's cool. BUT PLEASE don't tell me that you do this on a regular basis." Kevin snapped getting angrier by the second.
"I....I do...but I'm going to stop I swear!"
Skye glared at Ray, but he was too busy staring off into space.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-82.jpg
"Ray I think you should leave. I also don't think you should ever call our daughter again."
"Mom!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-83.jpg
"Nah it's cool. You aren't the first parents to forbid me to see their daughter. I thought you guys would be cool, but i guess you are just the typical middle aged losers that try to be cooler than their kids. LATER."
"With that attitude, I'm sure you won't go anywhere after high school." Edith sneered.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-84.jpg
"Skye... don't even think about following him."
"I have to say something!!! He's never acted like this before, I swear!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-85.jpg
"Are you happy?!"
"Skye, I don't need this. I'm going to smoke another bowl at the pier if you wanna ditch your parents."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-86.jpg
"Wow you really are a loser..."
"Nice to see judgmental bitch is back. I was wondering when she would reappear."
"Nice...real nice. You know what, go to hell!!!!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-87.jpg
"Thanks for ruining my relationship!!!"
"We are only trying to help kiddo, that guy is bad news. He's a bad influence on you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-88.jpg
"Whatever I don't need this crap. I'm going to study."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-89.jpg
As Skye went to put her jewelry away, she noticed a photo sticking out on the bottom of her drawer.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-208-2.jpg
A picture from the eighth grade. Back when she was on a nature retreat for the summer.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-90.jpg
Suddenly Skye felt annoyed by the person she had become. Maybe Ray really was a bad influence on her....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-91.jpg
....maybe it was time for a change.






It was ten o' clock at night and Esther was on her way to meet Audrey. She thought they were going to go party somewhere, but she had no idea what was about to come...
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-93.jpg
"Audrey what the hell are we doing down here?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-94.jpg
"Well since Jade was sent away, you are now going to be my partner in crime. There's a guy over there. I have to sell him some shit."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-95.jpg
"You're a drug dealer?!"
"Relax loser. You don't have to do anything. Just keep watch on the sidewalk."
"Audrey, I don't know about this. I'm fine with doing drugs but I'm not into actually selling them! What if we get caught? What if he is trying to rip us off and he has a gang with him?"
"Wow you sound so lame. I met this loser in school. It's his first time , he usually got some stuff from his older brother, who went away to college. He has no idea what he's doing."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-97.jpg
"Fine....but can we please make this quick?"
"If you follow my lead then yea."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-98.jpg
"Just stay here."
"O....ok..." Esther stuttered. She was starting to get really nervous.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-99.jpg
"What up?! I told you nine thirty!"
"Sorry, bus took forever. So how much you got?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-100.jpg
"C'mon....C'mon...." Esther whispered.
Suddenly Esther heard a click sound.
"Give me whatever you have and noone get's hurt!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-102.jpg
"Audrey!!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-101.jpg
"Shut the f*** up Esther.."
"Woah what the hell bitch!! You playing me???"
"Give me your money dumbass!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-104.jpg
"Audrey, please.....just put the gun down..."
"Esther I told you to stay over there....shut the f*** up!!!!!"
Esther was about to pull the gun away from her but at that moment Audrey smacked the boy in the head with the gun.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-105.jpg
"Shit he's got 400 in here, jackpot!!!"
Esther was too shaken to answer. Was this the type of person Audrey really was? How could she be so stupid to hang out with her?
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-106.jpg
"Run!!!!"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-108.jpg
"Ah man that was awesome, he was a little bitch...just like I said he would be."
"Audrey.....I can't believe.....you have a gun?!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-109-1.jpg
"Yaa I have two actually. My ass of a dad left them when he left us. Wasn't that awesome?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-110.jpg
"Are you crazy?!! We could have gotten hurt! How could you put me in this situation without telling me? What the hell is wrong with you?!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-111.jpg
"Oh my god can you stop being such a loser for once? How else do you think I have all this money to buy drugs and booze? You were the one that wanted this lifestyle....so now you do..."
"No....I wanted a friend."
"Yeah a friend who could help you get high. Now lets take the drugs I do have and have ourselves some fun."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-112.jpg
As Audrey walked up the block, Esther began to think. Sooner or later Audrey was going to get her in serious trouble.......but on the other hand, she always knew how to have fun. Maybe Esther was just being a loser......maybe it's time to lighten up.
"Yo.....hold up!!!"
------------------------
Concluded on monday!!!

[Karasu20]

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-113.jpg
"And here we have Skye Bailey, out of her natural habitat..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-114.jpg
"Hey guys, what are you doing here so early?"
"Cal had to do some stuff for the newspaper. I think the more important question is....what is with the style rewind?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-115.jpg
"I heard about your breakup...harsh."
"Who told you?"
"Eh through the grapevine. Is that why you changed your image over night? I was starting to like the punk look."
"I don't know, Ray said I was a poser trying to copy him so I guess I took it to heart."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-116.jpg
"Ugh what a jerk. That's like me telling Cal to dress cooler..."
"..Hey!"
"Just kidding."
"Yeah but it's kind of true for me isn't it? I only started dressing like that and smoking weed after I met him."
"Yeah so what? It's high school. Look at Esther, last year she was Avril Lavigne and now she is Morticia Addams . Don't listen to what some guy says. You are your own person."
"I guess..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-121.jpg
"Well I'm gunna go up early. I'll be able to study a little bit more."
"Later." Cal said as he went to sit down.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-119.jpg
"So you don't like nerds, huh?"
"Nah you're just an exception, haha"



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-122.jpg
"Audrey we need to talk..."
"About last night? Yeah, you almost ended up sleeping in some dumpster. It was awesome!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-123.jpg
"No it wasn't. Those pills really messed with me. I felt like crap, I never want to do it again."
"Oh my god, what have I said about this sucky attitude? Of course they felt bad, it was your first time. We can take them again tonight, I know of a rave that's going on."
"No...I don't want to. I think we should stop hanging out for a while. This thing we have going on, It's ...It's not right.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-124.jpg
"Oh yeah? Would you rather go back to being an outcast with no friends?"
"...no.."
"Good then you will do as I say just like before."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-125.jpg
Esther didn't say a word. She was suddenly afraid of Audrey.
"You don't want me as an enemy. You think Natalie was bad? I make her look like an ant."
"Bu...but..." Esther stuttered.
"But nothing. Tonight you will help me steal again and we will continue doing so until we are rich. Same time, same place. I found another loser on the chess team."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-126.jpg
"...and if you wimp out on me, I will RUIN you."
Esther stood there speechless. What had she gotten herself into?

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-128.jpg
"How was your midterm?"
"Wow you're actually going to act like nothing happened.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-129.jpg
"Skye, I'm sorry. I was out of line yesterday. C'mon let's go out in the parking lot like we always do. Some pot will cheer you up."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-130.jpg
"Oh my god!!! You don't get it! That's all you ever do!! Last night was important to me and you showed up high as usual! You ruined it and you don't even care!!!
"I saw your dad with tattoos so I thought your parents were cool, excuse me for jumping to conclusions!"
"That still doesn't give you the right to act like a jackass!!"
"I thought that's what you liked about me? You were the one that partied with me all summer, you were the one that got high every day of the week!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-131.jpg
"DON'T act like we only dated because of weed!!! I fell for you because you were smart.Now you are just a screw up!!"
"Yeah? well this screw up is done!!! This relationship only lasted so long because we were high throughout most of it. So go back to being a stuck up bitch, maybe you can latch onto some other guy and get a new identity. Everyone knows that's what you did with me."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-133.jpg

"Skye...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-137.jpg
"He's right...he's right. I'm a total loser...." Skye sobbed.
"No he's not!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-138.jpg
"He's an egotistical jerk. He's only trying to make you feel bad. You are a great girl that will change the world someday. Don't ever let a guy tell you otherwise."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-140.jpg
"C'mon, Cal is taking me to a Thai place. You can come with."
Skye wiped away her tears and followed. "Yeah sure, but let me just go home and change. Just because I am done with pot, doesn't mean I have to change my style..."




http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-141.jpg
"April just texted me, she's about five minutes away."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-142.jpg
"Now dad, I know you are a breeze to get along with and you will probably love April, but can you promise to keep mom in line? I know she can be a little much sometimes."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-144.jpg
"Jonothan don't be like that, she's just overprotective."
RIIIIINGG
"I'll get that."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-145.jpg
"Wow....er cool dress."
"I know, I know....but I just want your parents to know the real me. I don't want to put on a facade."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-146.jpg
"Right.....and I'm sure they will love it." Jonny said enthusiastically. However, deep down he knew his mother would not approve.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-148.jpg
"Wow Mr. Tresier I love your paintings.....did you um buy them?"
"Yes.....a nice little store on Palm Street."
-awkward silence-
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-149.jpg
"Sorry that took so long. Pot roast should be done in a bit."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-151.jpg
"Hello April, my name is Yuna and my husbands name is Jean." Yuna said with a fake smile.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-151.jpg
"I'm glad you invited me over. I was wondering if Jonny had parents or not..hahaha."
"Mhm....so how did you two meet? Were you in the same class?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-153.jpg
There it was....the question Jonny had been dreading.
"Actually Yuna....I don't go to school, I dropped out last year."
"YEAH but she got her GED!! haha" Jonny awkwardly added.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-150.jpg
"Interesting....how do your parents feel about this? I'm sure a sixteen year old would need her parents consent."
"Oh well I'm actually seventeen and I'm emancipated. I didn't have the best relationship with my parents." April answered with a smile.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-157.jpg
Once again there was an awkward silence. This time Jonny had no idea what to say.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-156.jpg
"Ah...let me guess, drugs?"
"Mom!!!"
"Excuse me?"
"Well judging by your ...er....eccentric clothing, I must assume you are on drugs of some kind. What kind of person just decides to drop out of school? Of course your parents probably tried to help you and you left them."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-155.jpg
"Wow!! smell that? Looks like dinner is ready!!! Haha." Jean said as he tried to cut the tension in the room.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-159.jpg
April got up from her seat. "Actually my parents were too rich and busy to raise me so I got my GED and decided to start my own life."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-161.jpg
"Oh yeah and what does that entail?"
"I help promote clubs."
"Wonderful!!! My son picked a real winner. I'm sure that will get you somewhere in life."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-160.jpg
"At least I won't grow up to be a boring housewife who failed to get a decent career. Jonny tells me you are a hairdresser. I'm sure you became one after you failed at obtaining a real career."
"How dare you!!! Get the hell out!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-162.jpg
"Gladly. I would say it was a pleasure, but honestly you are the biggest bitch I have ever met. Goodnight Mr. Tresier, hopefully you will divorce this witch. You are too nice for her."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-163.jpg
"What the hell, mom?!! I asked for one dinner!! You couldn't keep your judgemental attitude out of it???"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-164.jpg
"Enough Jonothan! I don't want you seeing that girl again. I'm glad I met her because she is obviously no good for you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-165.jpg
"I'm going to soak in a bath. That girl gave me a migraine."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-167.jpg
"Thanks for all the help,dad!!" Jonny said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry son, but I agree with her. April is not a good match for you. You need to focus on school right now and getting into a good college."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-169.jpg
"You don't even know her!!"
"I don't have to, all I know is that you don't need to be involved with a high school dropout right now."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-168.jpg
"You know what,dad? How about you stop being a p**** for once and form your own opinions!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-170.jpg
"Jonothan....you....you get back here....right now!!!"
"Sorry, I'm going to see April!! Believe it or not, you can't control what I do anymore!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sorry if that last part seemed rushed. I just wrote it =/. To be honest I didn't really like writing this chapter for some reason. It was mostly a buildup for the next chapter(which will be so much better). I will probably post it in August (maybe late july, depends if I have time or not)

NEXT TIME:
It's finally winter break!!!
Raina and Jaces mother decides to leave and move to Texas. They are forced to live with their dad.Raina is stuck dealing with Jace and Sid feuding all the time. She decides to take get her mind off of it by going to a club.However, this may just be her worst idea yet and Cal may just have to rescue her.
Jonny decides to move in with April when his parents try to control his life.

[Littleweirdo]

I can't wait for the next part!

[brtaylor2000]

You are very good at story writing... I was going to hold off reading season 2 until you where done but got sucked into it. I know you have a life but I hope you finish this season soon... Its getting to Good!!!

[Karasu20]

Thank you so much =)

I just got back from Nicaragua and now I'm going to Seattle (seriously every summer i have hardly gone anywhere and now all of a sudden im a traveler lol) Then after that I have to take my vet tech license exam. So basically I will be pretty busy until mid august.

I will continue writing though, it just may take a while for me to actually post the chapter. After August I will def try to post more regularly(like every weekend or so)

[Karasu20]

YAY I'm back to writing!!! Sorry for that huge delay. I was super busy this summer so I barely had time to write or take pictures. I just started this chapter this week and I'm almost done with the pictures, but I figured I might as well post part one so here ya go =).......

---------------------------------------------

Winter break was finally here. What was Raina doing on this momentous occasion?
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot2.jpg
Why sleeping in until one of course.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-22.jpg
"Great....so she doesn't even clean up after herself anymore." Raina thought to herself.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-32.jpg
She was referring to her mother, who for months now has been an alcoholic. Raina and Jace were used to coming home to her passed out on the floor, especially since she lost her job last month.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-42.jpg
"Hey mom! wine bottles on the floor? Do we live in a trailer park??"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-52.jpg
"Hey! Did you hear me or....."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-62.jpg
"....oh."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-72.jpg
"Raina...It's been a long time."
"Dad...what are you doing here?"
"Come and sit, we have something to tell you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-82.jpg
"Ok ......you...aren't getting back together right? Because that would seriously blow."
"Pfft no way in hell." Nicole muttered under her breath.
"Nicole, why don't you just tell her what's going on without your lovely sarcasm."
"Fine. Raina, I've realized in the past 5 or 6 months that I haven't been the greatest mother.."
"Sure you were mom! Passing out before dinner, forgetting to pay the bills, Vomiting on the tv...you should get a mother of the year award."
"Don't be crass, Raina."
"Right I did all those things. Which is why I'm going to rehab in Nevada."
"Nevada? I am not moving there!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-92.jpg
"I know you won't, which is why I called your father over. He's agreed to move back here until I get better."
"What?! So you're just going to abandon us,great."
"You know I would feel a lot better discussing this if your brother were here. Where is he?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-102.jpg
"He's on a date with his girlfriend."
"Oh that Jade girl right?"
-sigh- "No...her name is Natalie, but you wouldn't know her. You were passed out every time she came over."



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot.jpg
"This latte is pretty good..." Jace said as he awkwardly sipped his drink. He was about to do something he should have done a long time ago, he just wasn't sure how.
"Mhm..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-2.jpg
"Listen Nat, this just.....It's not .....I mean..."
"What's with the stuttering? Spit it out."
" I want to break up!!" Jace blurted out. Not exactly how he wanted to do it, but it was better than nothing.
"Wha....What?"
"I'm sorry but we've been distant for months. You have your job and I have my friends. We just aren't the same couple from last year."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-3.jpg
"So you're breaking up with me because I have priorities? My brother lost his job! I needed to make money! I thought you understood that." Natalie said as her voice started to crack.
" I do, but you are so secretive about your job and the hours are just ridiculous. I never see you."
"It's a modeling job! Of course the hours are going to be like that. I was supportive in this relationship, I don't deserve this."
"What do you mean by that?"
"You hang out with Liam more than you hang out with me! Last week was our nine month anniversary and you were with him!"
"You had work until midnight!!......Ok you know what I'm done."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-4.jpg
"I didn't want to end this on a bad note, but if you want to make it that way then fine."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-7.jpg
"Jace please....I'm sorry for getting angry. I....I love you. Please just give us another chance. "
"No I'm sorry...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-8.jpg
"I'll see you at school."




http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-15.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-16.jpg
"Raina can we talk upstairs?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-17.jpg
As Jace stepped into the living room, he saw his father and old feelings suddenly resurfaced.
"What are you doing here?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-18.jpg
"Jace, I'm glad your home. Please come sit, we have something to tell you."
"This is my house!! You left us, remember? I don't really care what you have to say."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-20.jpg
"Your mother has a drinking problem and.....she's leaving."
"I'm sorry you had to find out like this Jace..."
"No!! This is bullshit!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-19.jpg
"So what?! You expect us to live with him? How could you even talk to him after he cheated on you!!"
"It's a bit more complicated than that....please sit down."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-21.jpg
"NO! Don't tell me what to do, you're not my father anymore."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-22-1.jpg
Raina stood up. "I'll go talk to him.."
"No, allow me."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-23.jpg
"Doing homework?"
"No, it's winter break. Of course you wouldn't know that since the last time you asked about school was like the ninth grade."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-24.jpg
"Which is why I'm going away to rehab in Nevada. I need to get better.....for you and for Raina. I need to make up for being such a horrible mother this past year."
"By abandoning us and leaving us with your cheat of an ex husband."
"Well he is your father. I can still hate him, but you don't really have that choice."
"I really don't give a crap about him.....or you...so just leave. I'll send a postcard." Jace snapped.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-25.jpg
"Is that really how you want to leave things? Fine. I wish you the best of luck.....goodbye."
Tears began welling in Jace's eyes, but he didn't say a word.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-30.jpg





http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-46.jpg
"Oh Jonny....I can't....my lips are moving towards you....oh my..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-47.jpg
"You are so lame, you know that?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-48.jpg
"Then why are you over here at midnight, mister?"
"Eh I had nothing better to do. If I was home my mother would probably be yelling at me over something stupid."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-50.jpg
"Speaking of her. Is she still pissed that her son is dating a punk with no morals?"
"Yeah why do you think I have to sneak over here?"
Jonny was about to make out with April again but his phone rang, the seventh time tonight.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-52-1.jpg
"Ugh it's my mom, AGAIN. She's out at some gala, but she's worried that I'm out past curfew."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-53.jpg
"My stupid dad must be asleep if she can't get through to the house. I better get home before she does."
"Ugh things would be soooo much better if you just lived here."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-55.jpg
"That would be amazing and I totally would, but I doubt it could actually happen. I will try to come over every day these two weeks though, I can't stand being home with my parents."
"Ok and when you do...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-54.jpg
"I'll be waiting...." April whispered seductively.




http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-90.jpg
"Of course he's asleep..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-91.jpg
"You should be too Jonothan, not out with your delinquent girlfriend." Yuna said angrily.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-92-1.jpg
Jonny walked into the other room."I don't need a headache right now."
"Don't you walk away from me!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-93.jpg
"Your father and I forbade you to see her!!! Why must you disobey us like this?"
"There's nothing wrong with her! Why can't you see that??"
"She's a dropout!! She's turning you into a punk! You stay out late, you skip class, I can't deal with it anymore. Do you want me to send you to military school? Because I will do that if this continues!"
"You wouldn't......You don't have the money to." Jonny said with a smirk.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-95.jpg
Yuna grabbed Jonny's arm. "You stay here and talk to me!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-96.jpg
"Get your hands off me!!!"
"Don't use that tone with me you horrible excuse for a son!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-97.jpg
"Don't you EVER touch me you bitch!"
At that point, Jean Tresier had woken up and walked into the foyer. "What is going on here?"
Jean grabbed Jonny's arm and tried to guide him into the living room. "Why don't we sit down and talk about this."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-99.jpg
Jonny swung at his father. "I SAID don't touch me!!!!"
"Jonothan!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-100.jpg
"THAT'S IT!!!! I want you out of this house!!!"
"Yuna...you are being unreasonable.."
"He just tried to hit us!! He is out of control!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-101.jpg
"I'll be glad to leave this hell hole!!!! Ever since May you have treated me like garbage!!! I'm sick of it!!"
"Because you are garbage! You and your horrible girlfriend can have a happy life together, I don't ever want to see you again. You have failed me as a son!! Do you hear that?! You have failed me!!!"
"Yuna...."
"Stay out of it Jean! I am going to take a shower.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-102-1.jpg
"If that boy is still here when I'm done, I am calling the police."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-104.jpg
"Don't worry Jonothan...we will get through this."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-106.jpg
"There is no WE anymore. There's just ME."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-107.jpg
"And you could watch ME walk right out the door."

[Karasu20]

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-64-1.jpg
"Morning, dad."
Sid smiled at his daughter."Good morning Raina. Sit down, I'm making waffles."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-65-1.jpg
"Wow this is kinda weird. The last time you made us breakfast was like ten months ago. Since then I just had cereal every morning."
"Well I hope to change that. You and Jace didn't deserve to go through what you did with your mom. It was partly my fault so I hope to make it up to you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-66-1.jpg
"Morning Raina."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-67-1.jpg
"Jace! good morning. I'm making waffles, want some?" Sid said trying to sound sincere.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-68-1.jpg
"No thanks." Jace replied coldly.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-72-1.jpg
"So what are you kids up to today?"
"Well I'm going to Caleb's house this afternoon, he wants to show me some anime or whatever."
"Caleb? Jill's boyfriend?"
"Oh...no we are dating now."
"Wow!! I never would've guessed."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-73-1.jpg
"The things you miss when you leave your family.." Jace muttered sarcastically.
"Shut up Jace..." Raina whispered hoping her father didn't hear that remark.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-74-1.jpg
"Whatever, I'm going upstairs to work out."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-75-1.jpg
"Hey dad maybe you should put down the food and join me. You could stand to lose some weight."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-76-1.jpg
"I'm sorry, I guess he's not as forgiving as me."
-sigh-"It's ok....I was anticipating for this to be difficult for a while."





http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-113-1.jpg
"Gooood morning beautiful." Jonny said in a cheery voice.
"You're pretty happy for someone that just got thrown out of his house."
"What can I say? It's a blessing in disguise."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-114-1.jpg
"I get to date you without my judgmental parents breathing down my neck. I'm finally free April, it feels awesome!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-116-1.jpg
"Are you sure? I mean when I moved out it was more of a "hey I want to live on my own sort of thing". Your sitution is a little dramatic, don't you think?"
"April, just relax. My parents will probably realize how stupid they were like a month from now. They tried to get my half sister to come home about a week after she got out of rehab....and my mom HATES her. You know what I say we do tonight?"
"What?"
"A party!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-118-1.jpg
"Like a congrats on getting kicked out party?"
"No a congrats on living with your hot girlfriend party."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-119-1.jpg
"I'm hot, you say?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-120.jpg
"Oh yeah.......smokin' "


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-122-1.jpg
"Ok so the party will be tomorrow and you only want to invite your friends? I thought you wanted a big party."
"Nah celebrating with the guys would be really fun. You haven't seen Jace drunk....and hey maybe we can have Cal actually act like a teenager."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-123-1.jpg
"Alright, alright. I'll call everyone up right now."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-80-1.jpg
"So....your parents won't be home for another half hour?"
"Make that 28 minutes...."
RIIIINGG
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-82-1.jpg
"Heyyyy Jonny. I heard about your little stunt last night.......oh hi April, what's up?"
"Remind me to walk in on them when they are having an intimate moment..." Caleb mumbled under his breath."
"A party?! Awesome!! I'll bring some beers......ahaha yea I've had a fake ID since summer....haha..."
"25 minutes...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-81-1.jpg
"Hmmm that was nice of April to throw a party for Jonny, don't you think?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-85-1.jpg
"What I think is that we now have 23 minutes....."
"That's plenty of time to make an ice cream sundae!!!!"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-88-1.jpg
"No.....I have work. Besides, I would rather bathe in rat poison than sit in a room with Jace. BYE."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-126-1.jpg
"Someone is bitter....jeez."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Screenshot-128-1.jpg
"Ok sooo Skye is on vacation in Hawaii, Natalie is a crazy bitch and has work, and Ray is extremely high...I doubt he even heard me.Cal, Raina, Jill, Dax, Jace and his friend Liam are coming. So that brings a total of SIX people coming to this party, if you could even call it that."
"Awesome!! you're the best babe."

Next update either tomorrow or Friday!

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-130.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-132.jpg
"I'm sorry Jonny......this is so not a party. I could've put together something way bigger, but ...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-133.jpg
"April.....this is exactly what I wanted. I just wanted a small thing with just my friends. Besides....it just means more beer for us."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-134.jpg
"Ok good then I totally planned for it to be this way."April laughingly said.
RIIIING
"Can you get the door? I'm gunna go blow some bubbles with Ray and Cal."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-136.jpg
"Jill you made it!!!"
"Don't act all happy. Mom and dad are flipping out that you actually stayed the night somewhere else."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-137.jpg
Dax headed inside and spotted the siblings. "Hey....er sorry for interuppting."
"It's fine honey, just go inside.....I'll meet you."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-138.jpg
"Jill.....they kicked me out. Mom basically said I was a failure."
"She was angry! It was more of a heat of the moment thing. Dad didn't even do anything, he's really upset that you left. Why can't you just come home and talk to them?"
"No....ok NO. That was the last straw for me. They can go to hell for all I care."
"Fine do you want me to tell them where you're living? Because in their minds you are sleeping on Jace's floor, not living in your girlfriends mansion!"
"Don't screw this up for me Jill. I promise I'll talk to them after the holidays......now can we please just enjoy this party?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-139.jpg
"C'mon Dax, I'll show you around."



http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-141.jpg
"Nooooo way man, I had like four more drinks than you!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-142.jpg
"Let's have a *hiccup* drinking contest hahaha..."
"Fine.....your....on."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-143.jpg
"Jeez.....we will have to scrape them off the floor by the end of tonight."
"Yeah...."
"Ugh stop being so mad at me! I was only telling you what mom and dad were saying. Don't shoot the messenger."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-144.jpg
"Mhm..."
"FINE be like that."
April slid off the couch. "ooook time to dance."
Jonny begrudgingly followed.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-145.jpg
"You want to dance don't you?"
"YES I do, but first I want a drink....a large drink."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-140.jpg
"C'mon let's dance."
"Ok but not too close, I don't want Jill to find out we are dating just yet."
"UGH whatever."





http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-146.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-147.jpg
"Were you just checking Jill out?"
"No....I was just spacing out.....feeling...er....kinda tipsy."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-148.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-149.jpg


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-150.jpg
"C'mon I want some alone time..."
"Alright but lets go into another room at least."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-152.jpg
"What the...."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-153.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-154.jpg
"OH MY GOD!!! you have got to be freaking kidding me!! My best friend and my ex boyfriend?!"
Raina and Caleb quickly disengaged themselves. Their worst nightmare just came true.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-155.jpg
"Jill.....I...can explain." Caleb stuttered. At this point he really had no idea what to say.
"Go to hell."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-156.jpg
"Wait!!!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-157.jpg
"How could you be hooking up with my best friend?! Is this your sick way of getting back at me??"
Raina glared at Jill trying to keep calm.
"It's not like that!!"
"Really?! Because from where I'm standing, it does!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-158.jpg
"..and you!!! Some best friend you are!! Were you two sleeping together behind my back this entire time?! This whole time I felt terrible for the whole Dax thing and you were doing THIS to me."
Dax stepped forward trying to lead Jill into another room. "Jill c'mon....you've had too much to drink."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-159.jpg
"Get off me!!! These two need to hear it from someone. This relationship is gross!! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-161.jpg
"This is turning into a telenovela." April whispered.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-162.jpg
Suddenly rage overcame Raina. "SCREW YOU!! The whole world doesn't revolve around little miss perfect. Why don't you just take your jealousy and your huge ego and shove it up your ass!!!"
And with that Raina threw her beer on the ground and ran out of the room.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-163.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-164.jpg
"Great job Jill, really!!!"
"Shut up!!! It's not my fault she is jealous of me and Dax so she settled for someone like you."
"Jealous?! That's really funny because to me it sounds like you are jealous of her!! It's kinda obvious since you are taking this whole thing way out of proportion."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-165.jpg
"Oh please!! Why would I even want to date you again.....you are so full of yourself!!"
Dax stood by as the exes fought. Suddenly it became clear to him what was really going on.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-166.jpg
"I'm leaving Jill......not that you would care."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-167.jpg
"Have fun with my girlfriend."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-168.jpg
"Dax wait!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-169.jpg
"Please just wait up!!"
"Why don't you go make out with Caleb?! Raina is out of the way now!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-172.jpg
"Why are you being like this?"
"Because it's obvious you still like him! Noone else would react the way you just did!"
"That's not....that's really ridiculous."
"See you can't even deny it..."Dax said as he left the house.

Half an hour had gone by and there was still no sign of Raina. Caleb was still calling her on her cell.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-175.jpg
"C'mon....pick up..."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-189.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-190.jpg
"You can have one. I give a free drink to all the pretty girls."
Raina was already heavily intoxicated so she grabbed it. "Thanks.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-192.jpg
The man stood up, as did Raina. He guided her to the dance floor"So you wanna dance?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-193.jpg
"Yeahhhh!!!!"


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-177.jpg
"Cal? What's wrong?"
"Where is the closest bar?"
"There's a mexican bar....it's like 5 blocks from here. Why? You think Raina would go to a bar?"
"Oh yeah...last year she kind of had a drinking problem.." Jonny added.
"That's exactly what I'm thinking, Jonny."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-176.jpg
Jill walked into the room, making sure she hid the fact that she had been crying."Did you reach her?"
"No, but I have a feeling I know where she is."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-178.jpg
"Jonny and I can come with you...since I know where the place is."
"Jill can you just watch the house and the two drunk-tards over there?"
"Yeah....sure."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-179.jpg
"You better hope she is ok."

[Karasu20]

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-194.jpg
"Man you know how to dance....what do you say we get out of here?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-195.jpg

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-197.jpg
"C'mon, we're almost there!!"

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-196.jpg
"C'mon, my place is not far." The man whispered as he grabbed Raina's arm.
"No....no I....*hiccup* I have a boyfriend."
"Like I care...."
The man was about to lean in for a kiss, but Caleb showed up just in time.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-201.jpg
"Get the hell away from her!!!"
Raina ran into Jonny's arms.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-200.jpg
"I'm so stupid!!"
"It's ok....it's ok."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-201.jpg
"Calm down man I was just trying to have some fun!!!"
Caleb was about to shove the man into the wall, but April stepped forward.
"Cal let's just get her home.."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-202.jpg
"Fine....let's get out of here."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-203.jpg
"We will meet you guys inside."

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-204.jpg
"So you wanna tell me what the hell happened?"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-209.jpg
"I'm such a f***ing idiot!!!" Raina sobbed.
"No...your not..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-206.jpg
Raina suddenly got in Caleb's face with a look of rage."I am!!!! for believing that you were over Jill!!!!!"
"Raina....what are you talking about? Please calm down!" Cal quickly said, thinking of ways to calm her down.
"No it will always be like this!!!"
"I...I love you!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-207.jpg
Raina's tone of voice suddenly changed. "You do??? Oh my god me too!!" She said in awe.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-205.jpg
"Let's never fight again....I love you too....I love you more than anything!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-208.jpg
As Raina walked back into the house, humming. Caleb was left extremely confused. Raina just went from being full of rage to full of love in about two minutes.....what was going on?






http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-180.jpg
Liam sat in the darkness, he had just gotten off the phone with his boyfriend. Jace was still fast asleep....
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-181.jpg
"You snore.....really loud."
Jace yawned. "Why are we in a bed and how did I end up here?"
"We were running around the house like morons and I guess we just fell asleep. Wow it must be like 3 in the morning..."
"What happened to everyone else?"
"I think April and them came back and got really drunk......they must've passed out downstairs."
"Oh......by the way what's wrong? You sound kinda upset."
Liam moved to the end of the bed.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-182.jpg
"I was just on the phone with my boyfriend, he's kinda pissed at me."
"Oh yeah? why is that?"
"It's really dumb, we argue all the time because I always hang out with you..an...and the other guys instead of acting like a real boyfriend. He just doesn't understand that I'm still in high school and I like to have a social life."
"Funny....that's kinda why me and Natalie broke up......relationships suck.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-183.jpg
"Yeah....."
"....well also because I kinda like someone...." Jace said. Clearly he was still drunk.
Liam moved a little bit closer. "Who?"
"You...." Jace mumbled.
Liam stayed silent and touched Jace's foot.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry, I'm drunk and I don't what I'm saying."
"It's ok...."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-184.jpg
"....I can keep a secret."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-185.jpg
"Jace? Liam? Are you guys still drunk??? I just woke up!! I didn't realize the time!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-186.jpg
"Hello????"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-187.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%20five/Screenshot-188.jpg
"Oh my god....."


------------------------------------
=0
Don't worry all will be explained in the next chapter =P (which will probably posted in about two weeks*i hope* )

Next time:
Jonny and Jill decide to go camping for their 17th birthday. The whole gang goes. April brings exctasy and everyone tries it.Things go great until secrets are revealed, feelings are put out in the open and an unwelcome guest comes to crash the party.

[Karasu20]

So here's the deal.

I have to admit that I'm sort of losing interest in this story. Maybe it's because it's autumn now and I'm in the mood to write a story set in the autumn/winter or maybe it's because I'm just not into teen dramas as much as I used to be.

I'm not saying that this story will be cancelled.....maybe it will just go on a little hiatus after this chapter. This will give me time to write another story of mine (which will be posted on here when it's completely finished to avoid putting that story on hiatus like I did with this xD )

So fear not!!! I will finish this story and keep writing until the characters graduate high school.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Thanks for the ride and the breakfast, sis. We should do this more often."
"Well maybe if you came home.."
"Jill...."
"Fine I won't argue again. You're just lucky that Jace's dad is trying to get him on his good side these days. Or else mom would find out where you're really staying."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-2.jpg
"Yeah, yeah....anyway I'm going to go invite people for this weekend. I hope you go do the same."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-3.jpg
"Yeah because everyone's a fan of me these days.." Jill mumbled as her brother walked inside.


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-4.jpg
Raina gazed into her boyfriends eyes."So this weekend, you, me and a tent. It will be so romantic."
"Not really, all our friends will be there."
"That doesn't matter to me Caleb, all that matters is our love."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-5.jpg
-sigh-

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-6.jpg
"Hey guys...."
Raina kissed Cal on the cheek and stood up.
"I have to get some crap from my locker, I'll see you later babe. Remember.....I love you!!"
"Erm...love you too."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-7.jpg
"Oh hi Jill....didn't see you there."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-8.jpg
"Sorry about that....she's a little on edge since the party. I honestly don't know what has gotten into her."
"I see that....anyway I just wanted to apologize for how I acted at the party. I was being really stupid."
"No I get it. We should've just told you. I'm sorry you had to find out that way. Are you and Dax ok now? I feel kind of bad he had to sit through all that."
"We were fine until last weekend when he found a picture of us under my bed. Let's just say we won't be attending prom together any time soon."
"Oh wow....I'm sorry to hear that. I don't get why having a picture of us would be such a bad thing. I have tons in my room...."
"Yeah I know. Just because we broke up doesn't mean I have to erase you from my life..."
Suddenly there was an awkward silence.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-9.jpg
"Right well I'm going to class early. I guess Raina and I will be seeing you this weekend for your birthday. Camping should be awesome.."
"Mhm...I sure hope so. Bye, Cal."


Jill walked over to her locker thinking about the mixed emotions that were clouding her mind.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-11.jpg
"Jace!!!"
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-10.jpg
"Yo Jill!! Jonny just told me about this weekend. It should be awesome!!"
Jill ignored him and grabbed his arm. "You are coming with me right now."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-12.jpg
"Ok crazy....this is the boy's bathroom."
"I don't care. Besides it's before first period."
"Whatever...what do you want?"
"I saw..."
"You saw what?"
"At April's party....you and Liam..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-14.jpg
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Jace I've known you for seven years. I know when you're lying."
"I....I don't know alright...we were drunk....and..."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-13.jpg
"How long have you known....that you were......gay?"
That word hit Jace like a bullet. This secret has been with him for so long...it sounded strange out loud.
"I've always known."
"But...all those girls that you dated. Jade, Natalie? The fact that you act like this big player."
"I dated girls to hide it. In case you didn't notice, none of my relationships lasted very long. I had to put on this player persona so people, especially my teammates, wouldn't find out. I was planning on coming out after graduation."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-15.jpg
"Oh Jace...."
Jace's voice started to crack. "I didn't mean to hook up with Liam....I know he has a boyfriend. You don't know how horrible I feel about this."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-16.jpg
"Well I'm here for you....whenever. I'm going to help you through this."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-17.jpg
Jace wiped away his tears and hugged Jill. "You are the best Jill. It just feels so great to finally tell someone."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-18.jpg
"So who else have you had a crush on besides Liam?"
"....Jonny."
"What?!"
"Yeah for like a month in the ninth grade. Tell anyone and you die..."



It was study period and the guys were supposed to be in the library doing homework, but instead they were discussing the party.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-19.jpg
"Ok so Katie has her car for Jonny, April, Natalie and Ray. Then Cal you are driving Raina. That just leaves a car for me, Liam, Skye, and Jill."
"Jill said she would ask my mom and dad for the van."
"This is going to be awesome. I've never been upstate. I bet it's going to be cold." Cal stated.
"Nah I checked the weather, it's going to be like fifty degrees."
"What's the place called anyway?"
Jonny pulled out a brochure from his bag. "Well it's not really a campground. We want to drink and have fun, which will be kind of lame with people around to bust us. It's called Verde lake and it's about four hours north."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-20.jpg
"Sweet this is going to be the best weekend ever."


http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-21.jpg
"Done spying on people yet?"
"Shut up and follow me."
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj481/Acarbon/Chapter%206/Screenshot-22.jpg
"There's going to be a change of plans for this weekend."
"Look I already agreed to help you with stealing drugs at clubs this weekend. I do not want to get into any more trouble."
"You will help me, because it involves your stupid ex friends."

"They are going to party in the woods upstate this weekend. I hear that even Natalie is going."
"Why should I care?"
"Well I think it's time we really mess with those losers. So we are going to follow them to their little campout and scare them so bad they will wish they stayed home."

Some bad news guys =(

My computer was acting strange on Friday so I did a system restore. I then loaded up my game and found out that everything was gone. The last saved game was way back in february =(. That means all my season 2 stuff is GONE. It is just way too much work to get it all back.

It really upsets me to just stop the story, because I was totally planning on finishing it. I did not want to give up on it even though I was losing interest.

I'm so happy that there was so much interest in this story. I never imagined that the views would get up to 14,000+. Which is why it's so upsetting to end the story.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!:cry: I hope you write another story this one was so good!

This was really good, I really liked how some of the storylines would go to extremes, like the drug use and the dysfunctional families and the lgbt couples it was pretty awesome

Thank you =)

Believe me I was terribly upset when I realized everything was gone. I was going to do a hiatus but I wanted to go back to it eventually. I just don't have the time to fix everything right now =(

However, I did start another story (I had to make redo the characters after my computer went to shit). It's called The Bennington Tales. It will definitely have all the crazy drama WOS had (maybe even crazier!). It is also about adults, young adults and teenagers so hopefully more people will be interested in it.

I look forward to your next story!

Planning on continuing this story very soon!!!

As soon as I get the OK.

I guess I wanted to try some new story ideas ,but nothing came close to being as awesome as this story so I've decided to complete it =). (BTW i know i already spoiled the ending. I hope most people forgot about it since I deleted it. Also I might change some of that)

PS: Bennington tales was just a major fail lol
