Summertime love ~ Closed. PM me! ~

"That would probably be a good idea," she told him, glad that they were almost back. She had loved getting away from her house, but still, she was glad to be home

Alec nodded as he headed into town. Once they were in town he turned down the street towards her house and pulled up in her drive-way. "I'll walk you to the door then wait by the car. I'd rather not get on your mother's bad side," he said quietly, not wanting to add that he probably already was. "Please, think about telling her what happened with Mason?" he asked with puppy dog eyes.

Sydney nodde and hopped out. "I'll consider it," she told him, walking with him to her front door. She gave him a quick kiss on his cheek and headed inside. Immediately she heard voices. She walked into the kitchen and saw her mom sitting there with her fiancee. She was definately not telling her mother anything with him right there. She said hi to her mother quickly, and then ran upstairs to change into some fresh clothes. When she was done, she ran back outside to where Alec was by his car. "Ok, I'm ready."

Alec smiled and kissed her gently, walking around to the passenger side and opened the door for her, closing it after her. He jogged over to the driver's side and got in, backing out of her drive-way. He drove slightly slower as they got closer to the funeral home, desperatly hoping his cousin's wouldn't be there. "Just a head's up, my cousin's are perv's so be careful," he told her quietly as he pulled up to the funeral home. There were a few cars there, but not many.

"Great," Sydney mumbled. When he pared the car, she got out and waited for him by the hood. She suddenly wished she had worn a little more on her upper body than just a baby blue tank top. Oh well.

Alec pulled out one of his light jacket's from the back and handed it too her. "This should help a little, and it'll be pretty cold inside anyways," he said tossing his arm gently over her shoulder as he locked his car and shoved the keys into his pocket starting to walk towards the door.

[.Please.Delete.]

Sydney nodded thankfully and slipped the jacket on. She smiled as she felt his arm go around her shoulder and walked inside with him, not knowing what to expect

[EndlessFallingSnow]

"Alec!" A voice squealed jumping on his back as he turned to sign in. Alec flashed out his hand he was signing with to grab the girl's knee. "You're going to fall if you don't get off me," he said in a matter-of-a-fact tone, keeping his other arm around Sydney's shoulder as the girl jumped down from his back. "Sydney, this is my step-sister AJ. AJ, this is my girlfriend Sydney," he said lowering his eyes as his step-father approached. "Alec," the guy greeted. "Zane," he greeted back, his body tense with anger.

[.Please.Delete.]

Sydney said a quick hi to AJ, then glanced at Alec, noticing how tense he was. So that no one would see, she moved her arm that was pinned between her body and Alec's behind them and rubbed his back soothingly, watching the man who had just approached warily

[EndlessFallingSnow]

Alec slowly started to calm down but his body was still tense with anger. He watched as his step-father ever so slowly began to get the message and backed up walking away from them. With a small sigh of relief he reached for Sydney’s hand and laced their fingers together. He didn’t want to walk up to the casket. He wanted it to be empty. He wanted his mother to stand behind him and scare him saying it was all a joke. Alec didn’t want to see her pale, lifeless. He squeezed Sydney’s hand gently and moved out of the way as a few more people started coming in. He didn’t know half the people who’d just walked in. The only one he could just barely recognize was their own neighbor. He was slightly surprised that she’d come and was even more amazed she’d left her kids alone. He slowly pulled his hand from Sydney’s and walked over to his neighbor to carry on a small conversation that didn’t last long. He smirked slightly at something she had said. “You’re house may be a wreck when you get back,” he said, knowing that it probably was true. Alec watched his neighbor nod and laugh. “You’ll be missed, dear,” she said quietly, rubbing his shoulder before passing by him. He swallowed his emotions and walked back over to Sydney, leading her to some chairs. The room was starting to fill up and he didn’t want to be in the happy laughing atmosphere. Alec knew though that soon enough the room they were sitting in would be filled up with people and he’d be forced to listen to their conversations too. It amazed him how people could be having “private” conversations yet talked so loud that people all the way across the world could hear them. He smirked slightly and watched people walk in and out of the doors.
