• He broke away from Tara to answer his phone, leaning aganst the wall in her living room. "Hello?" He questioned quietly, letting Tara sleep. (NT) -- Jake, 15:07:01 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "He left, Jacob... I told him I was going, and he hates me..." She wailed softly, voice breaking as she revisited the painful truth, fresh tears welling in her eyes - and she had thought she was all cried out. (NT) -- Nat, 15:11:42 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Whoa..hang on sweetheart..." He frowned, hating to see his sister crying. He'd kill Adam. "I'll be right there alright? You just stay put." (NT) -- Jake, 15:17:12 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Yeah, I'm here.. I'll wait... Right here." She blubbered quietly - she hadn't cried in front of anyone since she was 10 and he had abandonned her in the grocery store for acting like a brat, so it was undoubtable that she was hurting horribly. (NT) -- Nat, 15:19:55 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He quickly left and made his way to her place, walking in without knocking. "Nattie?" He questioned softly, looking around for his baby sister. (NT) -- Jake, 15:22:45 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She had pulled on a pair of lounging pants and a white tank top, and was curled up on the couch, trying her hardest to stop her crying. When she heard him though, she scrambled off the couch and into her brother's arms. "Jacob..." (NT) -- Nat, 15:25:07 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Shh....sweetheart..." He soothed her quietly, holding his sister to his protective chest, brow furrowed a little. "What happened? Whats going on?" (NT) -- Jake, 15:28:36 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She burried her face into his chest, shoulders shaking for a long moment, before she forced a deep breath, but didn't look up - voice muffled. "I told him, about going to Cleveland with Jake... And he left, and he hates me, but I didn't want to hurt him.." (NT) -- Natalie, 15:30:54 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He let out a slow breath, his eyes closing. That was the only thing that he knew would piss off Adam. "Oh sweetie..." He sighed softly, not knowing how to fix this one. "Just..just let him cool down abit... he's just worried that all..." (NT) -- Jake, 15:35:09 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She shook her head as she looked up to him, fresh tears falling - the pain and hearbreak lining her features was an unnatural look to her normally so pristine self. "He's so mad though, Jake... And I have to go, but he doesn't understand..." (NT) -- Nat, 15:38:38 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He didn't want to tell her that Adam wasn't going to understand, this was something that he wasn't going to get over very quickly. "I know...he's stubborn..." He frowned a bit, guiding her over to the couch to sit down. (NT) -- Jake, 15:42:37 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She slouched into the couch and drew her legs to her chest, her teeth catching her lower lip as a silent sob shook her slight frame - the more she though about how mad he had sounded, what he had said, when he had left, the worse she felt.. (NT) -- Nat, 15:44:35 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He frowned softly. "Come on Nattie, don't cry..." He tilted his head. "he has a point though Natalie, you have to be careful there.." He frowned softly, biting his lip. Adams concerns weren't completely unwarranted. (NT) -- Jake, 15:45:40 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She shifted to lean against his side and sat up a little to inhale shakily before responding, wiping at her eyes. "I will be careful, so careful, Jake.. I promise... But he doesn't care..." (NT) -- Nat, 15:53:03 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Cuz all he thinks about when he thinks about there is his girl Nattie..." He frowned softly. "It was hard on him, he thinks its his fault for putting her in the situation." (NT) -- Jake', 15:58:51 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Was she pretty?" She questioned suddenly, her gaze shifting to her brother - voice still choked. She understood that he was hurting about it still, and she didn't expect him to go with her, but it was killing her to know how mad he was and to think that she could be losing him before she even had a chance to really have him. (NT) -- Nat, 16:01:09 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He looked down at her, letting out a soft breath. "yeah...she was.." He frowned a little. "She was a really sweet girl...." It had been hard on all of them, but more so Adam. He'd been in love with her. (NT) -- Jake, 16:05:22 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She nodded a touch, gaze troubled as she watched him for a long moment and then glanced away, speaking softly - she rarely thought so far ahead, yet worried about how much Adam could ever care for her with the memory of this other girl, wondered if she could ever measure up, and then doubted that she even had the chance anymore."I knew she would have been.." (NT) -- Nat, 16:08:17 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He nodded a little, his gaze dropping down to her. "Your the only girl he's seemed even slightly serious about since she died Nat...." (NT) -- Jake, 16:15:29 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "And now I've gone and done this... He really does hate me now, Jake." She exhaled deeply and ran a hand down her face then rubbed her damp eyes, lip quivering again for a moment before she got ahold of herself. (NT) -- Nat, 16:17:52 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "He doesn't hate you sweetheart, he's just hotheaded and a little to dramatic sometimes." He gently soothed her, trying to think of how he was going to talk sense into his friend. (NT) -- Jake, 16:21:19 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• Teeth catching her lip for a moment, she looked up to him again after a moment. "Will you talk to him? I just.. Don't want him to think that I want to hurt him... Even if he's mad, I just don't want him to think that." (NT) -- Nat, 16:23:27 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He nodded a little, smiling - trying to be reassuring. "Sweetheart, I'll talk to him...I don't know how much it will do, but I'll talk to him." He let out a soft breath, soothing her quietly. "It'll work out for the best." (NT) -- Jake, 17:02:10 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She nodded a touch though she didn't really believe it, and rubbed her eyes with a shakey sigh, hugging her knees to her chest. "I've screwed things up so bad..." Things were so good there for a while, she couldn't believe that this was it. (NT) -- Nat, 17:08:12 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He shook his head, letting out a soft breath. This was one thing that shouldn't have been crossed with Adam, anything else he could have handled, but not this... He bit his lip tightly brushing away her tears. "Have you eaten at all?" (NT) -- Jake, 17:18:16 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "No.. But I'm not hungry..." The very thought of food nearly made her want to be sick - her stomach all twisted into knots. She inhaled shakily and looked up to him - feeling and looking like not much more than the little girl she had been so many years ago, some things changed and others didn't. (NT) -- Nat, 17:21:51 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "You'll be ok baby, you'll have fun there, just take care of yourself and make sure you stick with Jake and you'll come back and Adam will see your fine....he'll calm down..." (NT) -- Jake, 17:29:36 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and I'm going to enjoy it..." She nodded after a moment, just trying to reassure herself, and sighed deeply wiping beneath her eyes and pushing her hair back - her whole face felt swollen and hot from so much crying. "I'm right to be going, right Jake?" (NT) -- Nat, 17:33:55 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "It's your right to do whatever you want to do...." He let out a soft breath, his hand running over hair gently, soothing. "You should go wash off with your face with some cool water and I'll get you something to drink." (NT) -- Jake, 17:38:05 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Thank you, so much, big brother... For taking care of me." She murmured genuinely and kissed his cheek as she stood to head into the bathroom to freshen up a hit - her head ached from all the tears. (NT) -- Nat, 17:39:55 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He went and got her a glass of iced tea out of the fridge, rummaging through the cabinets for some tylenol and setting all of it on the table in the living room. He sighed softly, glancing out the window and quietly hoping that Adam was out there doing anything dumb. (NT) -- Jake, 17:41:19 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She emerged a few minutes later - looking only slightly better but feeling not quite so awful. Downing the pills, she sipped at her drink and crossed one arm over her stomach - gaze shifting to her room for a moment as she thought about how lonely her bed would be tonight. "You don't have to stay, Jake... I won't go jump off my balcony now..." (NT) -- Nat, 17:44:02 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He laughed lightly, shaking his head. "That'd be dumb anyways, the worst you would do would be break an ankle or something, it would only piss you off even more." he winked slightly, smiling lightly at her. (NT) -- Jake, 17:48:13 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Mm, good point." She smiled a touch, just briefly before sighing. Squeezing his arm lightly, she gave him a gentle push, brows furrowing a touch. "I probably dragged you away from something important... You're always busy these days..." (NT) -- Nat, 17:49:53 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Nah, I was with a girl, but thats nothing new." He winked lightly, shaking his head. He'd stay with her for a bit and then head out to find his friend. (NT) -- Jake, 17:51:04 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "Surprise, surprise." She rolled her eyes and dropped back onto her couch, sitting cross-legged and sipping at her iced tea. "Maybe I'll be like our mother and stay there forever, sleeping with random guys and having bastard children and taking drugs and getting drunk every night. Wouldn't that be special?" (NT) -- Nat, 17:53:00 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He smirked lightly, shaking his head. "Probably not a good idea..." he let out a soft breath. "Adam's a good guy Nat, he'll come around before long..." (NT) -- Jake, 17:56:47 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "No, not a good idea? It's worked for her..." She muttered - a hint of bitterness toher tone, she, like he, resented their mother a lot for never being around for them. Sighing softly, she brushed her fingers through her hair and nodded a touch. "I hope so... But you didn't hear the things he was saying Jake..." (NT) -- Nat, 18:01:11 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• he frowned softly, his brow furrowed. "Was he mean to you? What did he say?" His eyes immediatly grew protective, arms crossing over his broad chest. (NT) -- Jake, 18:02:37 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She shook her head a touch - his words had hurt, but they had been justified, and she didn't want to get Adam in trouble. "I deserved it, Jake... Everything. He wasn't trying to be mean." (NT) -- Nat, 18:03:48 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He frowned softly, his brow furrowed as he weighed that.He didn't like anyone making his sister cry, even if it was his best friend. "Are you sure? Was he a jerk?" (NT) -- Jake, 18:06:50 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "I'm sure..." She murmured softly - Adam had just been mad and hurt, he hadn't said the things he'd said to hurt her, or so she hoped. "It was all my fault..." (NT) -- Nat, 18:10:10 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He nodded a bit, believing her. Adam wasn't the type to just tear someone apart - that was more Jakes style. "I'm sure he'll come around." (NT) -- Jake, 18:11:19 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• She exhaled softly and nodded a touch, fingers twisting in her hair absently. "I hope so, Jake.. I really hope so..." Her mind kept drifting to how good things had been - how special he made her feel, how much she didn't want to lose that.. (NT) -- Nat, 18:13:52 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• He nodded a bit, tilting his head. "If it makes you feel any better kid, he really does like you as corny as that sounds." He smiled lightly, ruffling her hair lightly. (NT) -- Jake, 18:32:34 07/17/04 Sat

  ---

• "I know..." She murmured softly and with wink, and swatted at his hand, leaning back into the couch and exhaling quietly - it was obvious that he meant a lot to her. "I hope he gets over this..." (NT) -- Nat, 18:36:21 07/17/04 Sat
