Subject: The landslide brought it down...

she sat outside on a blanket with her bouncy poodles tumbling at her feet. She was still incredibly thin and exhausted looking but the cut on her wrist was starting to heal and she hadn't tried to hurt herself since. She'd been avoiding Jake too, and if it wasn't possible, she would avoid his eyes. It embarrassed her for him to see her, what he must think of her after that. She slunk around being as inconspicuous as possible

Her attitude was driving him nuts, and he was always worried about her while he was at work - that was causing a problem. With a sigh his eyes followed her, a hand running through his fuzzy - recently re-dyed hair. "Whatcha doin' pet?" He questioned, his accent and voice soft. (NT) -- Jake, 09:54:51 02/20/03 Thu
- she looked up quickly out of habit and then down again "The dogs wanted fresh air" she gestured at the rambunctious little dogs rolling and growling at her feet (NT) -- Spring, 09:56:51 02/20/03 Thu
"Cute pups aren't they?" He was just trying to make conversation, something, anything to loosen her up. (NT) -- Jake, 09:58:54 02/20/03 Thu
- that earned him half a smile, more than most got, but her eyes still remained lowered. They exposed so much of a person and he had seen enough of that that day on the beach "big dogs in little packages" the toy variety of any breed was always that way (NT) -- Sprng, 10:00:52 02/20/03 Thu
He nodded. "You like little dogs better then?" Maybe they would get somewhere... (NT) -- Jake, 10:03:24 02/20/03 Thu
- she shrugged "It doesn't matter really what size they are...I just love dogs in general. These guys were just small enough that they would be safe" she almost added for the baby but stopped short. No point in opening old wounds (NT) -- Spring, 10:05:17 02/20/03 Thu
He nodded a bit. "Plus they already have that monster Dopey here." (NT) -- Jake, 09:55:42 02/23/03 Sun
- she scooped up the wrestling pair, cuddling them to her chest despite their growling and squirming, still trying to get at one another "My poor babies get trampled by that brute all the time....he has no respect at all" (NT) -- Spring, 09:58:37 02/23/03 Sun
He smirked, a great expression on his chisled face. "Plus that pig is a real bully." (NT) -- Jake, 10:04:20 02/23/03 Sun
- she nodded in agreement "Twinkie" she said with a grimace. "I don't know how those two put up with all that" (NT) -- Spring, 10:10:12 02/23/03 Sun
He nodded a bit again, a smile on his face. "They have quite the mirade of animals here..." The baby seemed to love them all though, but he didn't bring that up. He wasn't sure how she felt about their friends child. (NT) -- Jake, 10:16:42 02/23/03 Sun
- she sighed, finally releasing the wiggling pups. "It'll be nice to get out of here, I can't hardly take this place another minute" it was too much for her to deal with. (NT) -- Spring, 10:18:38 02/23/03 Sun
They hadn't really talked about that. "You getting a apartment?" (NT) -- Jake, 10:22:18 02/23/03 Sun
- she nodded, laying back on her arms "Yeah, hopefully. I can't go home. It's an awkward situation." she said that with a hint of remorse, she loved her parents, but they still had that gap to close since she had been avoiding them (NT) -- Spring, 10:24:54 02/23/03 Sun
He nodded again, shifting a bit. "You know, spring, if you need any help at all...with anything, I am here for you." (NT) -- Jake, 10:27:46 02/23/03 Sun
- she turned her pale face his way, putting on an empty smile, a pale comparrison to the smile that use to be full of life "You don't need me hanging on to you for support, you've got enough to deal with without having to take care of past mistakes that keep popping up" (NT) -- Spring, 10:30:01 02/23/03 Sun
He shook his head, a hand moving to rest gently on her elbow. "Your not in the past." (NT) -- Jake, 10:32:37 02/23/03 Sun
- she glanced down at his hand before looking up at his face again "You were so eager to be rid of the whole situation I figured you would have been jumping for joy now that it was taken care of" she said softly, turning her head, looking for anything to focus on but him (NT) -- Spring, 10:34:51 02/23/03 Sun
"I'm not completely cold 'earted love, I do have feelings you know." He tilted his head, watching her. His hand left from her arm to play lightly in her hair. "You've done a lot for me you know." (NT) -- Jake, 10:38:13 02/23/03 Sun
- she shrugged lightly "nothing more than I deserved. I got you into that mess anyways." she kept her eyes off in the other direction, swallowing the lump in her throat. She was afraid she'd burst into tears if she looked at his face and saw that he blamed her or pitied her in any way (NT) -- Spring, 10:40:37 02/23/03 Sun
He sighed, pulling her into his arms soothingly. "How do you stay so locked up love?" (NT) -- Jake, 10:42:42 02/23/03 Sun
- her face was twisted in a look of confusion,her posture somewhat tense "I don't know what you mean" (NT) -- Spring, 10:49:01 02/23/03 Sun
He gently massaged her arms as he spoke. "Everything, you don't show what your feeling, or thinking, or anything." (NT) -- Jake, 10:51:56 02/23/03 Sun
- she was slowly starting to break down at that, unshed tears choking her voice, threatening to spill "What good does it do to bring everyone down with you?" (NT) -- Spring, 10:53:51 02/23/03 Sun
"It helps other people be able to bring you up." (NT) -- Jake, 10:56:56 02/23/03 Sun
- "Sky and Jag have the baby and you have your job, and I can't face my parents, there wasn't anyone to bother with" (NT) -- Spring, 10:58:48 02/23/03 Sun
"My job isn't everything, people are more important." (NT) -- Jake, 11:02:28 02/23/03 Sun
- she wiped at her eyes "It didn't seem that way when you decided that we needed to be happily married so you could be promoted" (NT) -- Spring, 11:04:32 02/23/03 Sun
He sighed. "Didn't seem you would care when you were just swearing and throwing things at me." (NT) -- Jake, 11:09:36 02/23/03 Sun
- her jaw dropped "I never threw things at you!" (NT) -- Spring, 11:12:50 02/23/03 Sun
He smirked a bit "...but I could tell you wanted to." (NT) -- Jake, 09:25:23 02/24/03 Mon
- she frowned and crossed her arms tensely "You gave me every reason to and you know it" (NT) -- Spring, 09:26:14 02/24/03 Mon
"Nuh uh." He murmured, kissing her cheek softly. She smelled sweet, it was enticing him. (NT) -- Jake, 09:29:38 02/24/03 Mon
- she lost only a beat before restoring her composure, closing her eyes as she spoke "....you did so...your behavior was abominal" (NT) -- Spring, 09:32:54 02/24/03 Mon
"How so?" He questioned as his hand lifted to play in her hair, breath brushing against her neck. (NT) -- Jake, 09:34:29 02/24/03 Mon
- she swallowed as a shiver went down her spine, her tense posture relaxing "You were terrible to me, you seemed to live to make me angry" (NT) -- Spring, 09:36:29 02/24/03 Mon
"You just got angry to easily love, nothing I could do 'bout it." (NT) -- Jake, 09:38:09 02/24/03 Mon
- she looked at him out of the corner of her eye "You could have stopped egging me on. I think you enjoyed it" (NT) -- Spring, 09:41:20 02/24/03 Mon
He smiled softly, watching her. "You are a spitfire...." (NT) -- Jake, 09:47:21 02/24/03 Mon
- she colored lightly and lowered her eyes, his smile made her feel warm inside, which was odd, well the whole situation was odd, they didn't normally get along like this...she kind of liked it (NT) -- Spring, 09:49:08 02/24/03 Mon
He was quiet for a moment before he held her tighter, murmuring. "Cold?" (NT) -- Jake, 09:52:21 02/24/03 Mon
- she shook her head, surprised to find herself sinking into his arms "No...not really" (NT) -- Spring, 10:01:11 02/24/03 Mon
"Good." He was reluctant to leave where they were. (NT) -- Jake, 10:03:16 02/24/03 Mon
- on impulse she turned her face to rest in the crook of his neck "I'm tired Jake" (NT) -- Spring, 10:05:05 02/24/03 Mon
He nodded a bit, his arms tight around her. "Wanna go inside?" (NT) -- Jake, 10:10:46 02/24/03 Mon
- she pulled a face and shook her head "It's calmer out here, they live in a mad house" (NT) -- Spring, 10:12:01 02/24/03 Mon
"Well, how about we go kick it in the hayloft then? Sound better?" (NT) -- Jake, 10:13:59 02/24/03 Mon
- she nodded slowly because she had too. She was liking this position far too much and she wasn't sure that she liked that (NT) -- Spring, 10:15:50 02/24/03 Mon
He didn't let her go, never stopped touching her as he guided her inside the warm, comforting barn. (NT) -- Jake, 10:17:19 02/24/03 Mon
- his touch was messing with her head, it brought back the whirl wind night of Halloween, filling her with odd sensations, relucantly to her disbelief, she climbed up the ladder and made herself comfortable in the hay. The space between them was clearing her head, making her see how crazy her thoughts were (NT) -- Spring, 10:20:12 02/24/03 Mon
"Are you uncomfortable around me?" He questioned curiously as he settled on the straw beside her. (NT) -- Jake, 10:23:10 02/24/03 Mon
- she shook her head "Of course not, that's silly. We've gone way to far to be uncomfortable around one another" sex, pregnancy, marriage and a death...a lot for such a short time (NT) -- Spring, 10:25:16 02/24/03 Mon
"You just seem to get tense when I am around, or to close." (NT) -- Jake, 10:28:24 02/24/03 Mon
- she lowered her gaze " I apologize then" (NT) -- Spring, 10:30:54 02/24/03 Mon
He shook his head, tilting her chin back up. "No need to." (NT) -- Jake, 10:35:13 02/24/03 Mon
- she smiled lightly, looking away again, toying with the hay "It just seems odd to me.....you've seen more of me than anoyone else, emotionally and phsyically, and we've been sworn enemys for God knows how long" (NT) -- Spring, 22:46:09 02/24/03 Mon
He nodded a bit, watching her. "People change though, we grew up." (NT) -- Jake, 07:55:28 02/25/03 Tue
- she bit her lip tilting her head "It feels fragile....incomplete...its hard to explain" (NT) -- Ash, 07:57:51 02/25/03 Tue
He shrugged, done with the serious conversation. "So when you finding a place?" (NT) -- Jake, 07:59:22 02/25/03 Tue
- she sighed, shrugging carelessly "I don't know...soon as I get the money and things of that nature" (NT) -- Spring, 08:00:47 02/25/03 Tue
He nodded a gain. "Money's a bitch." (NT) -- Jake, 08:03:06 02/25/03 Tue
- she nodded "I need money for everything, plus furniture...and so on and so forth. But I can't stay here another minute. Besides, I'm sure you're ready to move on" (NT) -- Spring, 08:05:07 02/25/03 Tue
He shrugged a bit. "I don't know, they are probably just going to ship me off when I go back on active duty." (NT) -- Jake, 08:06:54 02/25/03 Tue
- she turned back to him "Isn't that what you want? You love working" (NT) -- Spring, 08:07:54 02/25/03 Tue
- she turned back to him "Isn't that what you want? You love working" (NT) -- Spring, 08:10:53 02/25/03 Tue
He shrugged again. "I do, but Kuwait's weather doesn't sound to appealing." (NT) -- Jake, 08:11:11 02/25/03 Tue
- she frowned "Kuwait? That far?"she almost sounded concerned..like she was worrying (NT) -- Spring, 08:13:05 02/25/03 Tue
- she frowned "Kuwait? That far?"she almost sounded concerned..like she was worrying (NT) -- Spring, 08:16:28 02/25/03 Tue
"I don't know, it's up to them when, and where they send me." (NT) -- Jake, 08:17:36 02/25/03 Tue
- her brow was wrinkled with worry "I don't think I'd like that...being at someone elses whim" (NT) -- Spring, 08:18:52 02/25/03 Tue
"I like the adrenaline, not the waiting." (NT) -- Jale, 08:23:28 02/25/03 Tue
- "Couldn't you find something else to give you the adrenaline?" not that it mattered to her (NT) -- Spring, 08:58:02 02/25/03 Tue
- "Couldn't you find something else to give you the adrenaline?" not that it mattered to her (NT) -- Spring, 08:59:26 02/25/03 Tue
"Hmmm...." He grinned, hand playing on her hair slowly. "I could be a drug dealer." (NT) -- Jake, 09:00:46 02/25/03 Tue
- she found herself enjoying his touch "No sorry but that's not an option" (NT) -- Spring, 09:03:17 02/25/03 Tue
He looked over, throwing out another option. "Gangster." (NT) -- Jake, 09:05:17 02/25/03 Tue
- she shook her head adamantly "No way, that's too dangerous" (NT) -- Spring, 09:08:42 02/25/03 Tue
He laughed lightly, watching her. "And my job isn't?" (NT) -- Jake, 09:10:07 02/25/03 Tue
- she shook her head "Not after your promotion it wasn't. It was research, how dangerous could that be? You should do something respectable like that...like...get super powers and be a super hero" she grinned lightly (NT) -- Spring, 09:12:03 02/25/03 Tue
He grinned lightly, teasing her. "You want me to be your superman?" (NT) -- Jake, 09:14:35 02/25/03 Tue
- she tilted her head, thinking momentarily with a grin "It sure would save me money on gas" (NT) -- Spring, 09:15:29 02/25/03 Tue
He laughed again, shifting a bit so he could kiss her cheek quickly before settling back down. (NT) -- Jake, 09:17:06 02/25/03 Tue
- she paused again at the touch, clearing her throat before looking away to hide her blush (NT) -- Spring, 09:18:27 02/25/03 Tue
He smirked, his hand finding hers. "Whats your favorite animal here?" (NT) -- Jake, 09:24:12 02/25/03 Tue
- she glanced down at their hands "My dogs, they aren't dirty or smelly or loud like the rest of the heathens they keep around here" (NT) -- Spring, 09:26:34 02/25/03 Tue
He nodded a bit. "I think I like Skye's horses." He tilted his head. "Do you think they are happy with the way their life is?" (NT) -- Jake, 09:29:44 02/25/03 Tue
- she shrugged "They love eachother I know that much. It's so peaceful here...I don't know how anybody couldn't love it here" (NT) -- Spring, 09:32:08 02/25/03 Tue
He nodded again. "I just never saw Skye settling down." (NT) -- Jake, 09:34:52 02/25/03 Tue
- she tilted her head "Did you ever see us to be where we are?" (NT) -- Spring, 09:36:53 02/25/03 Tue
"no...not really." he commented before he looked over at her. "It's not the change in appearance alone that makes you beautiful to me, you know that?" (NT) -- Jake, 09:39:12 02/25/03 Tue
- that threw her off, and she was quiet for a long time. "I didn't know you thought I was beautiful" she finally replied in barely a whisper (NT) -- Spring, 09:41:06 02/25/03 Tue
He nodded quietly, watching her out of the corner of his eye. "I do." (NT) -- Jake, 09:44:31 02/25/03 Tue
- she ducked her head and her cheeks flushed "Oh" was all she could say (NT) -- Spring, 09:46:55 02/25/03 Tue
He nodded a gain, before he shifted towards her. "You warm enough?" (NT) -- Jake, 09:50:48 02/25/03 Tue
- she nodded, watching him out of the corner of her eye "Yeah, the barn blocks out most of the wind....I kinda like it in here....I'll miss it" (NT) -- Spring, 09:53:46 02/25/03 Tue
"I am sure they'll let you come and visit whenever you want." (NT) -- Jake, 09:55:52 02/25/03 Tue
- she nodded "Yeah I guess....it just won't be the same as being able to come out here in the middle of the night when I wake up from a bad dream" (NT) -- Spring, 09:57:31 02/25/03 Tue
"You have a lot of bad dreams?" He questioned. (NT) -- Jake, 09:59:45 02/25/03 Tue
- she shrugged "I guess it would be a lot yeah" (NT) -- Spring, 10:04:09 02/25/03 Tue
