Brushing Us Apart

First topic message reminder :

Benjamin stood in the airport gazing at the  departures. "Ashlee, let's go to Texas and get a house down there, how about it?" He asked and looked over at the teens who were obviously uncomfortable in their new clothing having never wore anything like it before.

"I hate this." Chase snapped and looked down at his clothes. He was only in a white t shirt, baggy blue jeans, and a pair of expensive sneakers. "It's not fair! We can't we just have underwear like we did at the island."

Isa crossed her arms feeling just as uncomfortable.

Cece looked at her kids and crossed her arms. "Chase knock it off, Isa and Spencer, we're going to Georgia with Alex, and Jay."

Mason looked up abruptly. What? He had spent so much time with Spence over these past few months it couldn't just end like that.

"You're not alone I'm here." She explained. "And you will go home i-i just don't know when." she frowned.

Nick nodded and tilted his head looking at her and shut his eyes.
A year had passed before Nick finally had gone through his therapy mentally, and physically and was going to school normally. While getting everything back to normal, he had found little to no time with Maddy. Slowly he walked over to her as he noticed her at the park with Carson. "Maddy?"

Maddy blinked slightly as she heard her name being called, she looked around to see nick walking over to her. "Nick?" She said with a slight smile as she continued to push Carson in the baby swing.

Nick  put a hand behind his neck. "Yeah." He looked down at his son and crouched down to kiss his head. "Hi Carson." He greeted then stood back up and leaned over to kiss her forehead.

Maddy looked at him happily as he kissed her head. "What brings you to the park?" She asked seeing that he was doing better.

"I want to...get our own place." Nick admitted.

Maddy blinked at his words. "Our own place?" She said a bit excited. "And be a family?" She asked.

Nick grinned and fell quiet after looking around. "I..." He fell silent as the ground shook. "Uh." He slowly walked over and picked up his son. As the ground shook again he noticed the ground crack but before they could dart off into a run they fell through crashing down dozens of feet into what seemed like another universe. Once hitting the ground he groaned and looked at Maddy.

Maddy opened her eyes as she hit the ground, she held Carson close and looked at Nick oddly. She slowly stood up and walked over to him feeling odd and confused.

Nick heard a few hundred new animal noises and gigantic new plants and frowned. Even the ground seemed weird. He tugged her along. "Come on we need to like go somewhere."

Maddy held onto him tightly. "W-where are we going to go?" She asked as she looked around at the strange plants and other small animals that stared at them oddly. "What is that?" She asked knowing he wouldn't no.

"I don't know but be careful we need to find somewhere safe." Nick said and pulled her in close. He took off his shirt  as he discovered it was a lot hotter than he thought.

Maddy began to get hot as well, she took off Carson's shirt to cool him down. As she looked up she saw an odd shape. "Look a cave!" Maddy said as she pointed to the cave in the distance.

Nick nodded and pulled her along to it and pushed a  large rock in front of the entrance when they arrived. "What the hell is going on here?"

Maddy held Carson close as they entered the cave that was slightly dark. "I don't know." She said a bit shooken up.

"We'll stay here until we know maybe we'll get help. Whatever it takes I'll protect us." Nick promised and turned to open the door slightly and grabbed a few material to try and create fire. After a while he finally sparked it going so that it light up the cave. "As long as we're here we'll be okay."

Maddy nodded and watched Nick with hope she new he would no matter what. Maddy looked around the cave it looked safe and small, she slowly placed Carson on the floor. "What about beds?" She asked not wanting to sleep on a rock.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do for beds right now but tomorrow I'll try to get us something." Nick told her and pulled her on top of him. "Just relax and sleep on me we'll be okay. I hope Carson is alright."

Maddy rested her head on Nicks chest and held onto him tightly, she slowly slid her hand into his and closed her eyes feeling exhausted. "He's just a baby he doesn't understand so i'm sure hes okay." She re ensured him.

Nick ran a hand through her hair and kissed her affectionately as he laid back. "I'm sorry maybe we can get back." He reassured her.

Maddy looked up at him. "Its not your fault its okay." She said softly. "And hopefully but even if we cant." She shrugged and nuzzled her face into his neck.

Nick  gently put Carson to the side and hugged her tightly allowing his hands to travel up and down her body. "Do you think it's a bad time to...?"

Maddy grinned and kissed his neck softly, she trailed her hand up and ran her fingers through his hair. "Miss me?" She teased and continued to kiss his neck.

"Guess not." Nick responded and nuzzled against her kissing her cheek and neck before pulling off her shirt. The way he saw it was that if he died tonight or the next day at least he'd have reastablashed all emotions and affections with Maddy. He brought his lips down to hers and kissed her deepening it only to pull away for a moment. "I love you." She mumbled.

Maddy looked into his eye longingly. "I love you too." She said with a smile and placed her lips on his lips and kissed him passionately slowly shifting her body ontop of him.
