Ian finally made it to the ring Cleo had stomped into the ground earlier. He picked it up, leaning against the wall to get his breath back first.

Josh leaned against the fence next to Cleo. "You don't seem to love my brother, now do you? Seems like I did you a favor." he murmured.

Cleo's head snapped up, her face flooded with built up emotion, "How dare you ever say that." she whispered, shaking with what seemed like fear, but soon became clear to be anger, "HOW COULD YOU EVER THINK THAT?!" she snarled.

[s q u i s h y]

Josh grinned as his fist flew up to catch the ring that was thrown at his head. "Nice try, brother." he said, inspecting the ring. "This should make me good money. Thanks, sweetheart." Josh leaned towards Cleo. "Its nice to see that my little brother won't always be lonely in his useless life." he smiled the same dazzling smile that Ian always has, walking off with a wave over his shoulder.

Ian leaned against the fist, watching him walk away. "Sometimes I wish that Josh somehow has a heart in his chest. A warm one, not one made of ice, like he probably has right now." he sighed, turning his head to face the ground. "I'm sorry about your jewelery. And the ring." he murmured.

"They have no price to me. They are worthless." Cleo repeated in a cold, emotionless voice that sounded like she'd given up on life.

Ian stood behind her so he can wrap his arms around her. "Are you mad at me?" he murmured, pouting slightly. It tore him apart if she sounded like that. He didn't realise he had messed up her life this much.

[Alielimo]

Cleo didn't reply, she didn't even move, then she blinked a few times, some sanity returned to her eyes, "Where's Dylan...?" she murmured, fearful.

"Alex took him to the park." Ian said, staring at her in confusion. "Why?"

[Alielimo]

"He didn't tell me he was going to..." Cleo murmured.
(Slow replies, just got out of class memorial service for a schoolmate, can barely see emy phone keysthrough all the tears :'( ))

Ian frowned. He fumbled around in his pocket, getting out a note. "Alex dropped this. I couldn't read it. Can you?" he asked, handing it to her.

((Oh, I'm so sorry D: ))

[Alielimo]

Cleo snatched it out of his hands, "Plan; Proposed to Cleo, trick Cleo into thinking Dylan my son, Steal Dylan and threaten cleo." She read out, her arms fell by her side and the paper fluttered tto the ground.

(It's OK everyone's trying to be strong but even the boys were crying))
