I Luv NYC, not accepting

[Ploegy]

Darren sighed softly as he looked up at the sky, knowing Kale was thinking about something and that he rather not interupt her thoughts. Might as well stay quiet, He thought.

Maybe I should surprise you and fly out to see you, I always feel empty when I'm not in your laughing, talkative and funny company. Reid brought a slight fill with his hilarious attitude and caring manner, but it's not the same. You're the only family I had for a long, long time, you're my mom, my dad, and my uncle at the same time. You know everything about me, all my rational and irrational fears, like the fear of losing you or my fear of the dark at night. Which is why I always have one of those little nightlights, see, I'm still just a little girl who needs someone who'll take me on his knee and tell me everything's alright, that he's here and won't let anything happen to me. I love Darren, but he doesn't know me, or understand everything about me, who I am and my life. Or what I need. How silly I am, thinking out all my problems and anxieties. Kale shook her head at herself, eyes growing sad about her thinking. God, God I need you to help me figure out what to do. Thank you, say hi to Mom and Dad for me.

Darren climbed to his feet feeling a bit awkward just sitting there and not talking. He sighed once again as he began to walk over to a nearby tree. He sat down below it and made himself comfortable by putting his hands behind his head and rested them behind his head. Maybe she'll feel like talking soon, He thought as he let his eyes close as he let yet another sigh escape his lips. I hate being all quiet and not talking. He shook his head slightly and bit his lip slightly as he sat alone.

Feeling better from her short prayer, Kale blinked hard into awareness, realizing with a pang she'd just been thinking and totally forgot about Darren. She sat up as she looked at him sitting alone by a tree with his eyes closed. She meekly got up and quietly made her way over to him as she sat down next him, studying his face for a moment before saying quietly, "Sorry about that."

[Ploegy]

"It's fine. I didn't want to bother you so I just got up and came over here," Darren said as he let his eyes opened. "What were you even thinking about?" He asked as he raised a brow.

[Pinkedalink]

"Erm, this and that," Kale hemmed and hawed before finally answering honestly, "Well...my uncle. And my life and how much I miss him, how I feel like there's an empty feeling in me. And, uh, you a little bit." She tucked a curl of her hair behind her ear. "My um, slight fears, and um, er, basically just some problems or things I'm anxious about." She added, not able to keep a guilty look off her face.

[Ploegy]

"Oh," Darren said, not knowing exactly what to say. He pulled his knees closer to his chest before allowing his chin to rest upon them as he looked up toward the sky quietly.

[Pinkedalink]

[Fireworks took forever to finish, sorry for not posting sooner.]

"When did you first start playing for the Red Wings?" Kale asked after a while, resting her chin in her hands as she glanced at him for a moment.

[Ploegy]

(It's alright)

"A few years ago I played a couple games, not very many. Last year was the first season I actually stayed with the Wings all season," Darren said as he looked down from the sky to look at her.

[Pinkedalink]

"Oh," Kale said lamely, not sure what else to say. "'Scuse my,er, stupidness on this stuff, but players don't always stay a whole season?" She asked, wondering about that.
