• He was watching from the terrace of the big house, his father off visiting and attending to "matters" as per usual. Himself, he was reclined on a porch chair, watching proudly as the two most important women in his life displayed their skills. He was so proud of how far she'd come -- she was absolutely blossoming at their estate. He finally rose off of the porch, down the steps, and down to the stable, waiting for her to finish. (NT) -- Ryan, 06:28:10 09/05/05 Mon
• She rode the pony out of the arena and back towards the stables, her face lighting up when she saw him "Hey!" She dismounted elegantly and took her ponies reins, walking the rest of the distance towards him with the pony. "Did you get everything sorted for school?" He was due to start in a couple of weeks and he had needed to finish up the paper work and tie up loose admin ends. (NT) -- Lacey, 06:41:54 09/05/05 Mon
• "Dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's today." He grinned, taking the reins from her for the pony and leaning to press a kiss to her cheek. "I can't get over how fantastic you look out there. I'm going to have to get some shots of that." He looked over his shoulder to his mother who was just cooling out her horse as he headed toward the stable with the horse. "I think you must be one of mom's best students." (NT) -- Ryan, 06:49:21 09/05/05 Mon
• She grinned a little at that, glancing back over her shoulder at his mother before tucking herself under his arm as he lead the horse inside, sneaking her arm around his waist easily and pulling off her hat with her free hand, shaking out her blonde locks. "I dunno about that...she makes it easy... so does Bella" she glanced towards the mare with a soft grin before glancing back up at Ryan "Your dad still giving you a hard time over it all?" (NT) -- Lacey, 06:52:45 09/05/05 Mon
• "He's more resigned than anything, I think.." He said, sliding the mare into the crossties and going to uncinch her saddle. "I think my mom must have talked with him. He's not happy about it, but he's not completely against it anymore, well, not verbally anyways.." Sliding the saddle off of the palomino's back, he took it to the hook specifically for Lacey's things, she'd become something of a protege under his mother's supervision. (NT) -- Ryan, 14:53:13 09/05/05 Mon
• Lacey took up a brush from the grooming kit he had bought her for their four month 'aniversary', and began to brush the pony down thoroughly, glancing up to him as he spoke "Well thats progress... as soon as he see's how amazing you are at it he'll be behind you..." Mainly because he;d then be able to brag that his son was that very up and coming new photographer who had bundles of talent- but she didn;t voice that opinion. "But at least you've got your mom's support... she'd support you through anything..." Which was more than could be said for herself- but she had her brothers at least- she wasn;t alone. (NT) -- Lacey, 15:05:17 09/05/05 Mon
• He nodded thoughtfully, pulling the bridle easily off of the mare's face and hanging it up as well. "My mom would support me if I decided to walk across North America on my hands.. she'd ask me why first and then she'd be all for it." He grinned, catching her up as she wandered by him and planting a kiss on her forehead. "Who needs parents when you've got someone like you to support you?" (NT) -- Ryan, 15:28:34 09/05/05 Mon
• She grinned gently and wound her arms up around his neck, leaning up on her tiptoes to plant a tender kiss to his lips, a smile tugging gently at the corners of her lips as she rested her forehead against his "Ditto." He'd shown her more support than her mother ever had in anything and she loved him all the more for it. (NT) -- Lacey, 15:51:13 09/05/05 Mon
• He grinned, squeezing her once more before he let her go. "So.. my mom and I were thinking.. we put our heads together, and we thought it would be nice to be able to enroll you in private school this fall. They've got an amazing scholarship program, and whatever wasn't covered by the scholarship, my mother wants to pay.." He pressed his lips together - this had been an issue they'd skirted around -- he'd gotten the notion that she wasn't getting what she needed out of her schooling, not enough challenge. (NT) -- Ryan, 16:08:13 09/05/05 Mon
• She hesitated at that, faultering and glancing to him before glancing back to the horse, continuing to brush her down. "Thats really thoughtful.... but I can;t do it... " Not that she wouldn;t love to... but what the hell would she say to her brothers? the ones that where housing her and protecting her and feeding her... the ones to whom she had promised not to see ryan again.... "You know I can't... they'll want to know where I live, who with, my gaurdians... you know I cant..." it would only endanger the others (NT) -- Lacey, 16:18:07 09/05/05 Mon
• He pursed his lips, his mind working through all the scenarios they could present to the school. "My mom doesn't know what's going on, she won't understand why you won't." He frowned, drawing her up in his arms again, "I want what's best for you and this would be the opportunity of your lifetime.." (NT) -- Ryan, 16:30:28 09/05/05 Mon
• She got a little defensive when he spokea about his mother, frowning softly. She hated to disappoint- especially people she cared about- thats why this whole situation was so difficult- she hated betraying her brothers... but she couldnt be without him... and she would hate to dissappoint Eliza... but what could she do? "Well you shouldn;t have even told her I wanted to go.... then she wouldn't be disappointed... " She didn't pull out of his arms but she did glance away, her brow furrowed softly "I'm trying to do whats best for me, I'm trying... but its not all about me, my lifes more complicated than that." (NT) -- Lacey, 02:08:41 09/06/05 Tue
• He sighed, a bit resigned, but nodded. "I know... I wish things weren't so difficult for you, though." He pursed his lips, loosening his grip on her -- it was hard for him to understand her situation, even though he knew the story, knew the entire situation and had spent hours analyzing it and trying to figure out how to make things easier for her. "I didn't tell her you wanted to go.. I just told her you were getting home schooled. And it wasn't like I offered the information, she asked. She's really taken to you, babe. She just wants to help." (NT) -- Ryan, 05:23:48 09/06/05 Tue
• She let out a soft sigh and softened, though she kept her bright gaze cast down, her hands moving to rest on his torso lightly, watching them idly "I know... I'm sorry... you know how much I'd love to go... but I just can't.... " She wasn;t sure what to do about Eliza... she half wanted to tell her everything- but she wasn't sure she could trust her... not in a sense that the woman would maliciously hurt her- but adults often had different ideas about what was best for kids... and she may think it was in the best interest of everyone to get her either into foster care or get the others 'found' and thrown back in juvi. "It'll be okay... as soon as I'm eighteen I can move out and it wont matter who I live with or gaurdians and stuff... and i can finish school then." (NT) -- Lacey, 05:32:38 09/06/05 Tue
• He nodded a little, taking a long breath and letting it out slowly before he took her face between his hands and dropped his lips to her hairline easily. "I know, I'm sorry. It just makes things more difficult for you if she's trying to meddle. She just wants as much good for you as I do." He tugged her a bit closer, thoughtfully. This was about as close as they'd ever come to an argument, ever -- and he liked it that way. Eventually, there would be bumps in the road but for now he conceded that he didn't have much choice about things, especially when it concerned her current living arrangements and "family". (NT) -- Ryan, 05:44:28 09/06/05 Tue
• She wound her arms around his waist securely and closed her eyes as she rested her head against his chest, letting out a soft sigh. she didn;t like things being uneasy between them, but he had to understand that he couldnt make her whole life better- he was doing more than enough already. "I know you want to make it all better... but you already are Ryan... school is just going to have to wait for a while thats all... hopefully as soon as I'm eighteen I can find a place to live where i wont get my brothers in trouble and I can go back to school and get it all done in a year." She looked up to him, offering him a smile and snaking her arms up around his neck "I know its just because you care... " (NT) -- Lacey, 06:11:37 09/06/05 Tue
• He had been accused, at times, of caring too much. It was just the person that he was, he wanted to give her everything that she needed and wanted within his capability and his mother was the same way - though they were wealthy, his mother was involved in all sorts of charities and benefits, scholarships, and other sorts of things -- she wanted to ensure quality of life for the same people who shared the life she had before she'd come into money, and Ryan was the same way, only with lack of life experience as far as the hard life. He sighed a little bit at that, but then shrugged. "OKay.. I know.. I just worry. And I just want you to be able to accomplish what you want to as fast as possible." (NT) -- Ryan, 06:19:06 09/06/05 Tue
• She smiled softly and lifted herself up on her tiptoes to brush a tender kiss to his lips, nussling her nose against his and then resting her forehead against his. "It means a lot to me that you try so hard to help me... but life is about sacrifices and choices... and im sticking to the ones I have made... and have to deal with the sacrifices that entails... " She looked up to him again, smiling softly "And I don;t doubt I'll accomplish all my goals in life with you beside me." (NT) -- Lacey, 06:30:22 09/06/05 Tue
• He nodded a little, turning back to her grooming kit and taking out the rubber curry, sliding it onto his hand. He decided to leave their current conversation - it only got him worked up thinking about the situation that she was in and how she wouldn't allow for any real help. Taking the curry comb to the mare's golden coat, he looked back over at her, offering a bit of a smile. "So what are you gonna do with yourself all day while I'm in classes?" (NT) -- Ryan, 06:45:14 09/06/05 Tue
• She could tell he wasn't really satisfied with it, but there was little she could do- she would take the help if only she could but it was out of her hands too. She hated that he made her feel so guilty about this. She sighed and picked out a mane comb, moving tot he horses head and gently combing through her forlock, glimpsing over to him every now and then when she wasn't accepting sloppy kisses from the mares silky lips on her cheek, or returning them to the silken muzzle. "I'm not sure... help Jackie out at the house probably... shes getting way to big to be cooking and cleaning... " (NT) -- Lacey, 07:23:00 09/06/05 Tue
• He wasn't angry, just unsatisfied, that was the only way to describe it. It wasn't that he wanted "control" over her life or anything of the sort, he just wanted to provide her with the opportunities she deserved, that was about it. "I can imagine.. how much longer does she have to go?" He inquired -- he'd never met any of these people that she spoke of, but she told him such elaborate stories about each of their seperate dramas that he couldn't help but feel like he knew each of them personally -- except her brothers, they were something she didn't much go into. (NT) -- Ryanb, 07:27:26 09/06/05 Tue
• "Just about five weeks I think... its so harsh for her... having to give it away and everything... and how she ended up pregnant... if my brothers had done that to me I don't know what I'd do..." Fact was though her brothers loved and cared about her way too much to ever out her in that situation- and she;d never get into it on her own - she had way too much self respect and she had too many ideals up in her head for that. When she got around to going that far with a guy she wanted it to be the right guy... and the only guy- and Ryan was quickly shaping into that guy. (NT) -- Lacey, 07:32:15 09/06/05 Tue
• "Mm.. it's so hard to look at these situations that other people are in and judge them for their decisions. I couldn't even begin to imagine what I'd do in a spot like that -- like, if I was the father of someone's baby.. at this age.." He shrugged. "I guess I just have to hope I never end up in that situation, is all..." He looked over at her, pressing his lips together. (NT) -- Ryan, 07:48:47 09/06/05 Tue
• She cocked a brow as he glanced over at her, grinning a touch as she combed the tangles out of her ponies mane "Don;t look at me... you wont ever be in that situation with me" Not the situation with her being a teenage mother at least. She had dreams she wanted to fulfill before she even began thinking of that. (NT) -- Lacey, 07:57:56 09/06/05 Tue
• This was something light though, he couldn't imagine having a baby with Lacey at all. He looked over at her grin, and winked teasingly at her. "Aw, that's why I love you the best. You look after me and won't let me get into anything that I'm not ready for." He put the curry comb back in the grooming kit and went to stand near the mare's head while watching her go about the rest of her body. (NT) -- Ryan, 12:05:34 09/06/05 Tue
• She grinned and rolled her eyes at him as she finished up with the mare, feeding her an apple finally. "yeah Im the sensible one huh?" (NT) -- Lacey, 12:10:28 09/06/05 Tue
• "It stands to reason. It's not usually like that, it's usually the girl that has their head in the clouds.. well, from what I've heard anyways." He teased, rubbing his hands over the contented mare's face. "She's really taken to you - as much as my mother and I have." He looked down at her, grinning, drawing her to his side for a quick squeeze and an affectionate kiss to her hairline. (NT) -- Ryan, 12:15:27 09/06/05 Tue
• She grinned and tucked herself to his side "Its only cause I spoil her with apples and carrots... " She knew what most girls were like- she lived with six of them- all of them- save perhaps Jackie, sex-starved and hormonal... she'd never been down that route so she didn;t miss it... and from what she knew it caused more hassle than its worth. "Have you been with anyone seriously before?" (NT) -- Lacey, 12:36:23 09/06/05 Tue
