Roxanne

For a few seconds, she didn't say anything. Roxanne's mind was almost completely in overdrive, jumping around to practically every emotion possible. It was annoying because she couldn't keep track of everything to figure out how she would respond. Eventually, she just decided to ignore everything going on in her head. "I figured you'd say that," she said quietly, surprised that she hadn't ended up screaming in his face. She wouldn't be too surprised if she did end up doing that, but at least she could try not to. She let out a breath, forcing herself to calm down, and, oddly, anger seemed to come up with the calmness. "And yet you haven't spoken to me in almost a year," she said. She wondered if he could hear the anger in her voice, and for a second or two, she hoped he did. The more rational side of her regretted saying it, and she looked down and shook her head a little bit. That was stupid, Roxanne told herself, but she had no idea what else to say. Of course her feelings hadn't changed, except for the whole anger thing, but she couldn't help that.

Ophelia had decided she needed to go home, watch some soap operas, maybe start the draft of her World History essay. It seemed to her, as she walked down the sidewalk on her way home, that the temperature was dropping. Maybe it was all in her head. But regardless of the outdoors temperature, in her dazed and worn out state her eyes caught sight of something familiar, and her heart froze. She stopped walking. She turned, slightly dazed. He had already walked past her, but she knew for sure it was him. She didn't want to say anything. She wanted to let the moment pass but burn itself into her memory, into her heart. She could feel her hands were shaking in her pockets. Her mouth had gone dry. Her mind was blank.

After all these years, she had finally seen him. Somehow, it was a relief to her. But the look on his face, it was one too familiar to her. It had been more or less permanently imprinted on his features when he was helping her through withdraw for the first time. He was miserable right then, and a strong part of her wanted to know why. But she couldn't. Her thoughts bounced around so quickly in her mind, they could have beaten any electron in a race. She couldn't allow herself to get tangled up with him again. She would lose everything she had worked for. Wouldn't she? Wasn't he the reason she fell so hard back into her old ways after he left? Or was it her? No, no, it was him. It was all his fault...right? The word escaped her mouth before she knew they were coming.

"Hey," she said. "Long time, no see."

CC

Why the heck was the ground so interesting? No, maybe not interesting. Just... different. Not judgmental. Inanimate objects never judged people. They had no view of anyone, no concept of right and wrong, no emotions. Nothing. They were usually very useful, and you couldn't hurt them because they never felt pain. The only way they could cause you pain was if you did something stupid with one of them. Maybe surrounding himself with things that weren't alive was a good thing... No, that wouldn't help. That was beyond stupid. He shook his head at himself, trying to get himself to focus. Then he saw someone that definitely made him focus, but not in a particularly good way. She looked really different, but that didn't stop him from recognizing her.

And he had no idea what to say after she spoke, so for a few seconds, he was completely silent. There weren't really that many people who could do that to him. Eventually, CC made himself concentrate long enough to say something. "Hey," he said quietly, cursing himself that he couldn't think of anything better to say after that. There wasn't anything that could even remotely explain what he felt. No words. Nothing.

"I know you wish to call me much more than a jerk for what I've done. I haven't answered any of your calls, and never called you back for a long time ..." Jake was embracing the soon to come yelling or ... Slapping, possibly punching. Roxanne had never been one for violence but something like a heart-broken had never occurred in her life time before. Trixy pawed at Roxanne's shoes as his barks were muffled by him chewing on her clothing. "Trix ..." Muttered Jake as he slightly nudged him with his boot. Jake looked back at Roxanne again, hands still on her shoulders. "Babe ... I'm sorry for what I've done and I know you won't understand ... I was ..." He sighed in irritation of how he had nothing to say. Jake tried again but nothing came but a pitiful sigh.

{{sorry I've been a bit slow with responses here lately. I've been going through some stuff and haven't had time to think of a good reply. But things seem to have cooled down a bit, so I will have my post up here soon C:}}

Roxanne

Roxanne looked down and stared at Trixy. Oddly enough, that seemed to help her calm down and gather her thoughts. She attacked the inside of her cheek with her teeth as she stared at Trixy. She let out a breath, and that also seemed to help her calm down. But, still, she knew that nothing would make her anger go away completely. "You know, you can at least try to explain it," she said after another moment or two. She could make herself not hit him... hopefully. Those urges didn't really seem that difficult to control. Just as long as she got enough time to concentrate on not slapping him. Actually, what he said about her not understanding made her kind of mad, but she wasn't going to say that it did. She knew she probably wouldn't anyways, but that wouldn't stop her from trying. And he really had no idea what she'd been through, and part of her wished that she could just tell him, even though she couldn't. Actually saying things like that out loud wasn't really her strong point. Confronting feelings was... difficult.

ＡＮＤＹ . ＢＩＥＲＳＡＣＫ . 22

Andy pulled out of the hug the moment she began to pull back. He didn't want it to get awkward, and was glad to see her smiling up at him. So he smiled back, lips twitching upwards until he ducked his face closer to hers and sighed. Their loose black strands of hair met, two pairs of blue eyes just inches away from each other. He opened his mouth as if to say something, then shut it. Out of all the band members, Andy was known for his great fantastic interview speeches and sometimes randomness. He represented the band with his words and looks. Fans just got caught up replaying interview after interview, watching his mouth move. And he knew that, so he'd talk and talk. But now, here with Zarah, he didn't have anything to say. They'd known each other their whole lives, and she was possibly the only person who knew every single thing about him. His preferences, his pet peeves, and when something was wrong she'd know exactly what to do to make him feel better. He just hoped she could say the same for him.

He pulled completely apart now, his arms retracting from hers, face pulled away from her face. He bent down to pick up the mugs, handing the one with coffee to her, and holding onto the empty one. "So. I'd take you out to lunch if I could, but I don't want you to get mobbed by fans." They would probably start rumors about the two of them being together, and then who knows how Zarah would react? In fact, girls were probably hunting the town right now, trying to find his exact location and everything. He bit his lip, and eyes Zarah's cup of now lukewarm coffee. "Let's go back inside. I feel like there's eyes peeking through the fences." he said with a little grin, reaching up to fidget with his lip ring.

ＳＡＭＭＩ

Sammi held the engagement ring between her fingers. Her fingertips ran slowly over the diamonds on the ring.
"Yeah, Jeremy. You got one thing right. I don't deserve to juggle two different lives anymore. I have one with you and than there's one with my fiance and his sweet child who is like my own daughter." Sammi pursed her lips a bit and shoved her hands into her pockets. Bruce barked a few times, stepping closer to the arguing couple. Sammi's gaze fell to Bruce and than the floor. "I just don't know what do do anymore."

>>J.I.N.X.X<<

He watched her with an almost stoic expression, kept from it completely only by a glimmer of hurt, though he knew he deserved it all.
"I don't want to be the one to keep you from a life of happiness...." He finally said after a moment, slowly coming to terms that he had truly lost Sammi, that ring between her fingers proof of that. "I want you to be able to have the best in life," he continued. "Even if that means taking me out of the picture." With every word he spoke, his voice got quieter, and Jeremy felt himself slowly withering inside, collapsing under the full weight of the thought of never being with Sammi again. "Just do what you feel you must, I guess...."

>>Z.A.R.A.H<<

When Andy ducked his face closer to hers, so close that even their hair touched some, she simply watched him with a steady gaze, a soft, wondering gaze as if she were inwardly questioning what he was going to say or do next. But then he pulled away, and she took a small step back, still watching him however. Things were...different, certainly different between the two, that was obvious. But just how much different, that was what Zarah wondered and that's the question she wanted an answer for, but didn't have. There was still that closeness that had been there before, that was most obvious and it seemed to be just as strong as it was before, despite the years apart. But even so, there was just something that, well, she didn't know what. It was weird what time and distance could do to people, wasn't it? Time could make a flower bloom, it could turn day to night, and it could turn two best friends into almost wary strangers. But Zarah didn't feel like Andy was a stranger, which was something she was most grateful for.

Taking the coffee mug, hers still about a third full, she smiled a bit and waved off Andy's remark. "Don't worry about it, I understand. I mean, what's lunch when you have to be continuously afraid of literally being mobbed?" She questioned, voice traced with amusement at the thought. How Andy and the band did it, putting up with all the screaming fans, Zarah would never know. At his suggestion to go back inside, she nodded her head, turning on her heel and walking back to the house, walking in and glancing over her shoulder at Andy. "So, is there anything you'd like to do?" She asked. She wasn't entirely sure what there was for them to do actually. Last time she had seen Andy, sitting around and listening to music - she would normally have her sketchbook - would work. Or maybe go skateboarding or something...But still, she wasn't sure what rockstars did in their spare time.

Starring blankly at her flowing dark hair, Jake thought to himself of what Roxanne must have been doing all that time when his absence from her had occurred. Did she get a new boyfriend? Was she seeing other guys? Did she replace Jake in her heart? Did she no longer have feelings for him, and wanted nothing to do with him? Should Jake of never come back home? Or was coming home to her the right choice? Was it? Or was it not? Jake swallowed the worried lump in his throat and looked down at her, hopping to get her eye gaze again. "Explain what exactly? Where I was? What the band’s been doing? " Jake knew exactly what Roxanne was asking of him but he tried to change the conversation but asking different things.

ＳＡＭＭＩ

His words rang bitterly in her mind, knocking the breath out of her lungs. Sammi took everything in around her. The ring, him, their dog, the house, everything. The photographs of them on the wall … And if she made the choice of taking Jeremy out of the picture, she’d lose it all. " “You know what? You’re completely right. You don’t deserve me. I was your friend, Jeremy. Heck, more than just your friend. And you left. You left for four years! What did you expect me to do? Wait and watch to see if you’d come save me like I’m Cinderella? I… I just don’t know what to do. I thought you left, and to be honest, I was happy until today. You walked straight out of my life and you just come charging back in? You can’t do that. I have a life. This isn’t about you. This was your choice, not mine. You opened the door, Jeremy, and I shut it. " And right then and there, Sammi just realized what she had said. She didn't mean half of it but she couldn't control her temper of the words that came out of her mouth. She was broken and walking in the dark now. Sammi slapped a hand over her mouth quickly, eyes wide and face turning pale. Tears made her vision fuzzy as they slid down her cheeks smoothly and fell downward. There was nothing left for her to say anymore. She had just said it all even if those weren’t the right and truthful words to say. "J-Jeremy…" Sammi's words were muffled by her hand covering her mouth. It wasn’t like she’d be able to get him back now but she had just came to the reasoning of how badly she needed her Jeremy.
