Break The Silence

First topic message reminder :

Atticus sat on the couch smoking his joint and opened his eyes to a kiss on the forehead by Alice. She had been his wife for at least a month now. He enjoyed her company and intimacy it rarely let him alone with his thoughts. He couldn't help worry about where Mel was and what she was doing. Probably the same thing she was doing before. At least he had settled down. Kind of. She didn't know it but he still went out for a few late night hook ups when she was least aware. It was fine if no one was getting hurt.

"Heading out." Alice told him then walked back to her sister's apartment and slowly opened the door. She hadn't seen her in two months and wasn't sure exactly what she would find. She winced when she noticed the mess and her sister. She looked as if...could she be? Shooting up? "Juliet."

Ember frowned. "It's not fair." She turned to Blythe and joined her. "It's okay."

"I don't care, you're annoying me." Avery responded angrily.

"No it's not, you weren't doing anything." Blythe insisted, growing more irritated as she turned back to Avery. "You're the one that's being rude."

"I don't care." Avery responded and continued to do her gimp.

Britney watched them argue a bit amused.

Blythe raised her eyebrows and reached forward to grab the scissors, cutting Avery's bracelet in half. "Do you care now?" she asked sarcastically.

Britney looked at the bracelet then walked over to Jade. "Blythe just cut Avery's bracelet."

Avery held her bracelet and began to cry.

Jade walked over and looked at Avery. "Do you want more gimp Avery?" She looked at Blythe. "You're missing half of your elective."

Blythe couldn't help but smirk at Avery's tears and shrugged at Jade. "She was being mean to Ember. She deserved it."

"Ember, and Blythe you need to ignore those who you don't get alone with." Jade told them. "Stop smirking Blythe, it's not funny."

Britney returned back to Avery with a ball and gestured for Clair to come play four square with them.

Avery quickly wiped her tears and began to play again.

Blythe let her expression fade back to normal, but still felt very smug about the situation. "Come on, Ember." she said, tugging her away from the other girls.

Ember followed Blythe and looked around. "I like camp."

"Me too." Blythe agreed, for lack of anything else to say. She sat down at a picnic table and looked around at all the other kids playing.

"Even if we have to deal with those girls." Ember shrugged.

"I don't know how you put up with them." Blythe replied with a small panicked expression. "I would probably go from cutting bracelets to cutting throats within a week."

Ember looked at her weirdly and frowned.

Blythe gave a nervous laugh once she realized Ember didn't understand her sense of humor.

Ember shrugged and got up. "Come on let's go sign up for the electives."

"Okay." Blythe muttered, getting up to follow.

Griffin ran over to Blythe and grinned. "You smell bad." He insulted.

Ember scowled and pushed him.

"Thank you." Blythe grinned, sticking her foot out as Ember pushed him so he would trip.

Ember laughed and put out her fist for Blythe to dab.


Griffin got up while scowling and walked away holding a football.

Blythe reached forward and bumped her fist against Ember's, grinning widely. "We make a pretty good team." she observed, laughing.

Melinda looked at Diego without emotion. "I fucking told you I didn't want to come. You ruined it yourself by forcing me along." She snapped and got up, pushing past the attendant to get off the plane.

Clair sat and examined her shoes curiously. How many people did it take to make them?

"Being a miserable cunt isn't going to fucking help you!" Diego shouted at her.

Atticus shrugged and put on his headphones.

"Neither is going into the middle of nowhere with people I can't stand!" Melinda shouted back as she exited the plane.

Diego looked around at his audience. "What?" He shouted at them.

Ciel punched Diego in the arm. "Sit down idiot."
