Myst smiled at Shane, embarased with her mother. Jan stopped twirling and tapped her pointer finger on her bottem lip. "Oh, but I wonder what your father will say..." Jan said questionly. "I'll go phone him!" Jan said, suddenly very happy again. "Oooh, this isn't going to end well..." Myst muttered as Jan finished dialing. Jan walked into the kitchen and told Paul. "WHAT?!" her father's voice screamed out of the phone. "3... 2... 1..." Myst counted then a car alarm set off and Paul kicked down the door. His wings were fiery and he looked pr-etty angery. Myst had blank look on her face as though she had seen this a million time before, but this was honestly the first time. Paul flew directly at Shane, he flew high enough to look him in the eye.

(lol! 2 totaly different reactions!)

Shane stood expressionless. He waited for Myst's father to speak. Shane didn't expect anything good from it.

Paul stared for a few more seconds, then.... *pop* went his tiny balloon of controle. "YOU JUST MET MY DAUGHTER TODAY AND NOW YOU'RE DATING HER?!" Paul yelled. He started cursing, saying curses that most people never get to hear, ect. "Dad. Dad! DAD!" Myst said, her voice getting louder every time she said 'Dad'. Paul stopped his parade of bad words just long enough to listen to her. "I'm the one who broke the ice, not Shane. So if you have to yell at some one, yell at me or just suck it up!" she yelled. It's a rare sight to see Myst mad, but it never looks pretty in the end. Myst and Paul started yelling and fighting and Myst even ended up cursing a few times. Jan walked over to Shane. "How about we go to the kitchen and I make some tea?" Jan asked as though Paul and Myst weren't even there.

[{ annah.]

"Um.. Sure." Shane said feeling very out of place. He hoped things would end well. He didn't want to be the cause of a family feud.

((Sorry that most of my posts lately are so short. I've been kind of out of it lately.))

(yeah, I get it. I went through a total writer's block for over a month once... way to many one-liners to count. lol)

Jan seemed to scence Shane's discomfort as she set the cettle on to boil. She put a firm but kind hand on Shane's shoulder. "Don't worry; they'll sort things out. Paul never really liked the idea of Myst growing up. He dreaded every one of her birthdays and was always so clingy when she tried to talk to other kids. He's probably more desturbed that she didn't wait a little longer." Jan said, trying to manage a smile as Paul and Myst both yelled 'FINE!' at once. Paul stormed out of the large gap where the door used to be and Myst ran upstairs, slamming her door. Jan smiled for real this time. "Aaah, sounds like they've worked things out!" she said in a sing-songy voice. Jan poured the steaming water into 2 mugs and popped a tea bag into each. "I suppose this family seems very odd to you, but this is just every day life for us." she said, handing one of the cups to Shane.

"I'd have given almost anything to grow up with a family like this." Shane said softly as he took one of the mugs from Jan. Soon,. many horrible flashbacks began running through his mind. He had always told himself he wanted to forget about all the bad things that had happened but, they always seemed to find a way to haunt him.

Jan sighed, a worried smile occupied her face. "You can talk to me about it if you want to. I swear I won't tell a soul." she said, her motherly instincts kicking in.

Shane sighed before he spoke. "Well, let's just say my father wasn't the nicest guy around." he then said as many very painful memories ran through his mind. He looked down into his mug of tea as he awaited her response.

Jan smiled, but her eyes looked worried. She hugged him for a second with one arm. "Well, you're safe here. Paul would never try to hurt some one, vocally, physacly, or mentally. And I'm as harmless as a lady bug." she said. Myst peared into the kitchen from around the corner. "Um... sorry that you had to see me freak like that." Myst said, her wings hidden and her clothes back to normal. Myst twittled her fingers around.

[{ annah.]

"Thanks." Shane said looking up at Jan. He then turned to look at Myst when he heard her voice."It's okay. I understand." he then replied to her taking a sip of his tea.
