The New Heights

First topic message reminder :

Avery smirked and jumped on the table in her dining room. She didn't know how her mother did it about two years ago, she had bought a super cool big new house. Her and Aria dominated it, at least when Clair, Jane, and Brit weren't over.


Diego sat in the kitchen on his laptop working. He had grown to be a workaholic. Living alone with Ciel, Miles, Emmett, and Mia, was definitely more peaceful then when they lived in that small crowded apartment.

"You aren't always going to be able to rely on this job. Graduate, get your shit done and move on." Castor told her. "Once there's a drug bust we all fucking go down."

"I don't know." Ember murmured. "I don't know how long I can put up with this feeling."

"I like you. I don't want to have to change who I am." Bladen muttered staring at her. "Rumor says Emmett had a thing for you. Bey you would've jumped on that boat quick." He growled.

William sat on his bed. "Leave me alone Eve..."

"Look, I don't need you to tell me how to run my life ok?" Phoebe grumbled and stood up.

"Go get a therapist." Max suggested.

Summer pressed her lips together and nodded. "Like I said, I'm not asking you to change. If you really liked me, you'd know what you just said wasn't true at all."

Eve sighed and left his room, walking downstairs and out of the house to go for a walk.

"I'm giving you a heads up before shit gets serious." Castor told her and walked off to his room.

"That won't work." Ember responded and rolled onto her back staring at the ceiling.

Bladen grit his teeth. "You kidding? Up until that baby was born you two were inseparable."

William sighed and grabbed an orange bottle, then locked the door. He quickly swallowed them and laid down then put on his headphones and waited.

Jordan walked up to Williams room and knocked on the door. "Will?"

Phoebe followed him. "Do you really think I'm that incompetent? I know what I signed up for."

Max sighed and kissed her chest. "You don't know unless you try."

"Friends." Summer snapped. "I can have those you know."

"Great." Castor responded and laid on his back on the bed shutting his eyes.

William didn't respond due to the ear phones. His breathing began to slow after a minute or so.

"What would she do? Tell me to stop dealing drugs, go to school, get my life together?" Ember asked glancing down at her.

Bladen narrowed his eyes. "Whatever? You wanna leave? Fine!" He snapped.

Phoebe looked at him with her head tilted.

"Chase!" Jordan shouted as she began to panic and tried to knock the door down.

"Yes...but she could also find out why you feel this way and how to deal with it." Max stated.

Summer nodded and walked off.

Stephen made his way over to his mom. "What are you doing? Dad went out for groceries." He responded.

Castor opened his eyes and looked at her. "What is it Phoebe?" He asked.

Ember tilted her head back. "Why are you still around Max?"

"Do you want me to go?" Max asked.

"Knock down this door." Jordan told him, knowing he loved to destroy things.

"Where do I sleep?" Phoebe asked him curiously.

"There's an extra room here." Castor said and pointed to the room.

Stephen shrugged and kicked the door through, and looked at William who appeared to be asleep. "What? He's just asleep."

"No but you have every reason to." Ember answered.

"I'm not leaving just because it gets hard." Max said with a huff.

Phoebe nodded and walked into the room, stripping down to her underwear and bra as she lay in the bed.

Jordan picked up her son and looked at the bottle, pulling out her phone to call for an ambulance.

"Right." Ember sighed and leaned over to kiss her passionately.

Stephen looked at his mother. "Ma what's wrong?" He asked.

Castor fell asleep in his bed.

Jordan didn't respond as she kissed William's head and sobbed, waiting for the sirens.

Max smirked and pulled her close to deepen the kiss.

Phoebe fell asleep as well but woke up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and shaking. She didn't remember the nightmare but all she knew was being alone was freaking her out. Getting up she tip toed to Castor's room. "Castor." She whispered and shook him a bit.

Stephen looked over as the ambulance had come in and took his younger brother. "This is because he's gay isn't it?" He asked.

Castor opened his eyes and looked at Phoebo confused. "What? Are you alright?"

Ember grasped her breasts enjoying the feeling of them then paused. "Max," She murmured through the kiss and looked at her. "do you really not want a kid?"

Max sighed. "Not right now, maybe when I know I can give them one hundred percent of my attention."

"No, it's because he just swallowed a bunch of pills." Jordan snapped and followed the medics out.

"Yes..." Phoebe nodded. "Can I com sleep with you?" She asked quietly, shivering a bit as she had for got to bring clothes in with her. "I had a creepy ass dream."

"Have something planned out?" Ember murmured intertwining her legs with hers.

"Yeah." Castor responded and pulled the blankets for her to get in with him.

Stephen followed his mother. "He took the pills because he's gay because people pick on him. He can just stop being gay."

"Just like you can stop being straight?" Jordan asked him with a growl.

Phoebe crawled in and shut her eyes.

"Not really." Max shrugged.

"Sure. I wouldn't though, he's a good example why." Stephen responded and walked into the hospital with her looking over at the nurses who rushed into the room.

Castor looked at her longingly for a moment and resisted the urge to cop a feel.

Ember nodded and fell silent.

"No, Stephen it's not a choice. He's no different then you and I. If I ever find out you were picking on him I wont think twice before sending your ass to military school." Jordan told him seriously and called Chase as she wiped away tears.

Phoebe slowly fell asleep and cuddled up against him.

Max took her hand and turned her gaze to the ceiling.
