• She had been looking for him for the better part of the evening - out anyway, and so she figured there would be no harm in checking out the bars that he typically frequented. She was worried about him and how he was handling all this - of course she didn't expect him to act like everything was okay, because it definitely wasn't, but getting himself into anymore trouble, or pushing away his family and friends, wouldn't help the situation at all. When she spotted him, she actually sighed quietly in soft relief and then approached slowly, slipping onto the stool beside him, a hand slipping up his shoulder. "Hey.." (NT) -- Alyson, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 8:31pm PST

  ---

• He started just a bit before he shrugged a touch, his brow furrowed softly as he tipped back his head, taking another shot. "Hey." He stated briefly, tensing his jaw slightly. He knew that Aly cared about him and was just trying to help but in a strong way he felt like he didn't deserve that caring. He was obviously bad for her and he would probably just screw up her life like he had screwed up Adam's and his sisters in the process. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 8:43pm PST

  ---

• "What's goin' on, babe?" Her tone was tentatively casual - she had spent the last week trying to give him space, yet still support him, and she had no idea where they stood or what he was thinking. It was scary, but she wasn't going to give up on him. Her fingers sliding down his back before leaving him so she could wave to the 'tender to get his attention, she ordered herself just a Corona before looking back to him again, a brow gently raised. (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 8:58pm PST

  ---

• He asked for another shot as the 'tender came by before he shrugged again. "Nothin'...just kinda hanging out..." He stated softly, his brow furrowed, finally looking over to where she was. He didn't want to hurt her in anyway, or to upset her, but he didn't want to lead her on, seeing as he was a big jerk and who would want to be with him? A sigh escaped his lips as one hand dropped to her leg, squeezing softly. "You look good..." He stated softly, almost absently. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 9:12pm PST

  ---

• "Thanks..." She murmured softly, her fingers curling gently around his wrist and her head tilting delicately. "Enjoying yourself?" She questioned quietly, leaning in a little closer to him just so that she didn't have to try and speak above the roar of the music and the people all shouting around them. The bar wasn't the best place for conversation, though atleast it provided a bit of an excuse - she wasn't too sure what to say to him these days. (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 9:22pm PST

  ---

• He shrugged a bit, a smile on his face briefly as he gazed at her for a brief moment. "I am kinda drunk." He stated honestly with a shrug, his eyes focused on her though they were glassy and glazed over. His hand slid over her leg gently, even though he had nearly gotten in a fight with a stranger the night before he was so incredably tender and gentle with her. He adored her and it was obvious that even though he was sinking into this pit of self hatred he still loved her with every fiber of his being. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 9:37pm PST

  ---

• Her features softened a little at that and she scooted her stool a few inches closer to him, her hand rubbing a slow circle over his back, slight smile touching her full lips. "I kinda noticed... How's that working out for you?" Her head tilted slightly, eyes gently narrowed - the last thing she wanted was him drunk and wallowing in self-pity because she could only imagine that horrible thoughts that he might entertain in that overactive mind of his. It really worried her... (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 9:45pm PST

  ---

• "Works..." He shrugged a touch, a low breath escaping his lips as he shifted to lean towards her lightly. His hand raised to run through her hair absently before he cleared his throat, trying to bring himself out of the funk and haze he was in. "Wanna get a booth?" He questioned, his brow cocked as his hand slipped to her lower back, his brow furrowed still as he tried to remember to be gentle with her, she couldn't handle his verbal abuse like others could, he just knew it. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 9:52pm PST

  ---

• She leaned in to press a soft, lingering kiss to his cheek before nodding a little and then reaching for her beer and shifting off the stool, holding her free hand out to him. "Sure..." Normally she was more for the idea of heading to one of their quiet homes for the rest of the night, but tonight she really didn't mind hanging around there for a little bit - it fit both of their moods. He seemed comfortable there, atleast for now, and she didn't want to ruin that. (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:00pm PST

  ---

• He led her over to a booth in the corner, sliding in first and then stretching one leg against the booth, the other on the floor so she could cuddle up against his chest. Before she got situated however, he drew a joint out of his pocket and placed it on the table before he waited for her to get close to him. As soon as she was, one arm went securely around her waist and his lips dropped to nuzzle her neck softly, nipping gently. He was trying to take comfort in her body and it was working, she was intoxicating for him. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:10pm PST

  ---

• She set her drink on the table as she nestled close to him, one hand dropping to squeeze his leg gently and her other running slowly up and down his forearm around her waist. Her head tipped back and to the side a little and a quiet sigh slipped from her lips - she had missed the comfort of his embrace more than she had realized. She had been spending so much time lately trying to comfort Nattie and trying to keep tabs on him that she hadn't stopped to just take a breather and relax a little bit herself. (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:17pm PST

  ---

• "So pretty..." he stated softly, his lips sucking at the side of her neck before they found her ear lobe, spending a good amount of time there. The club was jumping around them by now, with people filling the bar, the booths and the dancefloor, but he was just completely focused on the angel in his arms. His lips shifted to trail down her neck once more, fingers gently tugging on the neckline of her shirt to tug it to the side, revealing her shoulder to his kisses. At the moment his mind was focused on nothing but the taste of her. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:20pm PST

  ---

• A soft sound of appreciation caught in her throat and she then sighed and shifted impossibly closer to him, head dropping back a little. One hand reached up and back to push through and then pull forward his hair before falling back to his leg, fingers toying with the fabric of his jeans. Whatever he needed, she would do whatever she could to provide - even if it was something so simple as sitting there and cuddling with him, which she didn't mind in the least, of course. (NT) -- Alyson, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:29pm PST

  ---

• He pressed a warm kiss to her lips after tipping her jaw back a touch, his lips warm and hungry for a second before he drew back and cleared his throat. "Do you mind if I smoke this?" He questioned, his fingers already running over the joint almost adoringly. He needed it to help him forget his pain, he couldn't drown his sorrows in her, he couldn't risk hurting her - but he didn't care at all about hurting himself. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:38pm PST

  ---

• The tip of her tongue brushed her warmed lips and her eyes lingered shut for a moment before sliding open as she spoke. "Whatever you need, love..." She assured him gently, though she reached up to catch his lips once more for another kiss. Had she known his reasonning, she would have objected for sure - she would gladly sacrifice herself for him right now, because she knew that he would do it for her if their positions were swapped, and she wanted to do whatever she could to help alleviate some of this pain. (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:44pm PST

  ---

• He kissed her once again, his hand cupping her jaw before he shifted her just slightly away from him so that he could take a deep hit off of the joint, shaking his head lightly and coughing just a touch at the first drag before he settled into it easily, enjoying the way the haze seemed to envelop his brain. His eyes grew heavy and even more glazed as he sat there in silence, though one hand was always on her, softly running over her leg or her arm or playing in her hair. He wanted to reassure himself as much as he did her that he wasn't so bad... (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:50pm PST

  ---

• There wasn't a doubt in her mind that he had a huge heart and was anything but 'bad', but had just run into some tough times over the years, and nothing would convince her otherwise. As he smoked, she sat in silence, close to his side still and with one leg draped across his lap, though her head was turned as she inspected the crowds easily. She wished that all this would just go away, but she knew that the reality was something else and that they were all just going to have to learn how to deal with the uncertainty until it all got figured out. (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 10:56pm PST

  ---

• "You out by yourself tonight?" He questioned, his brow furrowed as he suddenly thought of that. He didn't like her being out on the strip alone, there were lots of guys - similiar to him - that wouldn't think twice about taking advantage of a pretty young girl like her. He finished off the joint, extinguishing it in the ashtray. He just wanted to hold her again so that was what he did, dragged her back against his chest, his arms once more securely around her waist to keep her close to him. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 11:04pm PST

  ---

• She shifted to sit sideways in his lap, one arm wrapped around his neck and her forehead resting gently against his. "Yeah..." Nattie was in no mood these days to be going out, but she had just needed to get out somewhere different for a bit. Her free fingers twisted into his shirt, her others toying through the short, soft hair at the back of his head, and her lips brushed his softly, just absently, eyes remaining on his. (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 11:09pm PST

  ---

• "Not good for you to be wanderin' 'round here by yourself...." He murmured, resting his head against her shoulder as he let out a slow, languid breath. "Next time go to the mall or somethin'..." He cleared his throat, trying to maintain some level of sobriety but it was pretty much a loss cause and if he wasn't careful he was going to become of those pathetic sobbing sob's that hung around till all hours at the bar weeping to the 'tender and then having to leave a huge tip in payment for listening. (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 11:15pm PST

  ---

• "Sure... Okay..." She murmured quietly, not because she would actually comply, but because she knew that it might make him feel better. Sighing softly, her eyes slipped shut and she dipped her head to catch his lips for a soft, warm kiss, one hand brushing his cheek slowly. Shifting a little in his lap, her arm around his neck tightened and her fingers on his face trailed down the side of his neck and then back up to touch his jaw. She just wanted to be close to him... (NT) -- Aly, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 11:29pm PST

  ---

• He was more then happy to let her touch as much as she wanted for as long as she wanted. It comforted him just as much as it did her. His hand slid up and down gently over her back, quiet as he just held her. He adored her really, and he needed her right now more then anything. He loved her even though he didn't think he had ever actually said that...he couldn't really remember right now. Trying to focus yet again, he cleared his throat. "We should go get coffee sometime...starbucks..." (NT) -- Jake, Thu, Jan 20 2005, 11:34pm PST

  ---

• She smiled a little, her forehead just resting gently against his, one hand spreading flat over his chest. "Sure..." Something laid-back and normal would be nice for once - she could handle that. Pressing another brief but sweet kiss to his lips, she sighed in quiet contentment - just relieved to be there with him right then. "Can I stay with you tonight?" Things were so tense over at the Davenport house, even when no one was around, she just wanted to get out for a night. (NT) -- Aly, Fri, Jan 21 2005, 10:33am PST

  ---

• He nodded a bit, tugging her closer to him as he slipped his lips over her neck briefly before pulling back again. "Course..." He murmured softly, his fingers tracing down her jaw before cupping there to bring her lips to his in another kiss. His eyes slid shut as his lips worked against hers in a lazy fashion, in no hurry about anything right now. Between the alcohol, the drugs and his mood he was feeling melencholy and lethargic, not in the state of mind to do anything quickly. (NT) -- Jake, Fri, Jan 21 2005, 10:43am PST

  ---

• At his touch, her eyes slid shut again and remained like that as she returned his kiss sweetly. Her fingers at his chest twisted into his shirt slowly and her hand behind his head brushed absently through his short hair - her own actions slow and tender, almost soothing. Gone were the days when they were sneaking around Adri's house, just trying to find a safe spot to sit around and kiss all afternoon, and though she longed for that simplicity of just a few weeks ago, the most important thing to her was that she still had him - though for how long seemed so tentative now. (NT) -- Aly, Fri, Jan 21 2005, 11:00am PST

  ---

• He didn't plan on breaking up with her - if they were even technically together - but the sheer depression he was sinking into might possibly drive her away. He would understand if she left him, he would leave himself if he could, but alas, he was stuck with himself. His hand slid down her hip slowly before he drew back and rested his head back against the booth. "Need another drink..." He stated absently, running his hand over her side gently, slowly. (NT) -- Jake, Fri, Jan 21 2005, 11:16am PST

  ---

• She wasn't going anywhere either though - no matter what happened, she pretty much refused to give up on him. Her head tilted delicately to the side and tipped back a fraction as she gazed at him, one hand pushing through his hair and then trailing down his cheek slowly, and finally ending up just spread flat over his chest. "Why don't we just go back to your place? You can drink more there..." It was just a gentle suggestion and she wouldn't object if he wanted to stick around there, but she just thought that it would be easier if he was already in his apartment if he was intending on getting drunk - rather than her having to try and drag him out of there later that night. (NT) -- Alyson, Sun, Jan 23 2005, 10:42am PST

  ---

• "You wanna drive?" He questioned, handing her his keys more then willingly. He knew he wasn't in any shape to be operating a vehicle. Gently, he shifted her out of his lap to stand up before he found his own balance and steadied himself. Retrieving his wallet, he tossed a few dollars down and then looked to her again, his brow cocked. "Ready to go now?" (NT) -- Jake, Sun, Jan 23 2005, 4:22pm PST

  ---

• "Yeah..." She nodded a little to both of his questions and offered a small, almost reassuring, smile before taking the keys and then slipping an arm around his waist for the walk out. Her head rested gently against his shoulder for a moment before she reached up to press a quick kiss to his cheek, gaze lingering on his for a long moment - soft, loving concern lining her pretty features. She was an optimistic person and had to believe that things would work out eventually, but right now it was especially hard... (NT) -- Alyson, Sun, Jan 23 2005, 10:17pm PST
