"Fine!" Christine yelled back then ran out the door into an ally way witch led to an abandon building that she always stays at when she wants to be alone Christine walks in the building and up all of the stairs to the roof the view was beautiful it mad it easy for Christine to see the stars and relax a little

Jack stood there like a statue the gets out of the shock moment " there is no way hades would I cancel the apiontment she wanted it so much
And I can't do that " he said frowning "and I don't get it why does everyone think we're rich when we're not we are poor people too yeah we have a house and all but I have to work a lot and I beraly get any rest" he said getting anoyed at what other people think " yo dark guy do you want an apointment the regester here they take any one with musical talient rock pop classical you name it and it doesn't mater what you look like or how you live" he said with a smile

ems • 6 April 2013 at 1:17 AM

@amelialightwing She said that after she left. Jack wouldn't have heard her comment about rich people. 😋
--

Ella gave up and went to her 'home'. She crawled under the barbed fence and into the little house that was so dilapated, it had already begun to fall apart. But there was no rent; so Ella liked it a ton. Inside, she weaved carefully to the last intact room in the house. The pink paint was fading and beams had fallen in odd places, but the bed was pretty much the only piece of furiture left untouched by anything but time. Ella climbed onto it, and felt tears fill her eyes. Determined not to cry, she sucked them up and stared up at the hole in the ceiling. The sun was fading into a sunset that Ella wouldn't see from here, but she knew exactly what it'd look like. She sighed quietly, letting herself remember each bit of today--and how much she hated those celebrities. "So naive."

Savvy blinked a few times, and deciding to head home for the night, muttered, "I should go too." And without another word or glance at anyone, she too left, climbing into her car and driving off.

amelialightwing • 6 April 2013 at 1:34 AM

@ems a lot of people call them rich

Christine curled up in a ball crying in her knees wishing she could at least have a friend to comfurt her andtell her that they understand what she is trying to do but there was no such friend that exsisted " what do you think jake tell her that I'm trying to help and have her hate Me more or should I live my normal life where I can't leave the studio untill my brother comes and picks Me up " she said to no one that anyone but her can see " yeah your right well I might as well live the old normal life and follow the rules well we might as well remember this day and live the normal life well let's go home" she said getting up and started walking home from the old studio building

Jack checked his watch and staired at the boy with white and black hair "if you need a place to stay you can stay at my place I have spare rooms you can have one" he sai

Ella's thoughts were bitter. "They think everyone is so happy. Just like them. But..." Her voice faltered, "It's not... True." And she felt herself collapsing into nothingness, the sadness of being alone crashing on her, coupled with all the stress. Ella shattered and fell asleep with a gut-wrenching pain in her heart.

Savvy pulled into the driveway, needing her music to calm her soul. So she sprinted into her apartment and rushed to the piano, letting her fingers settle on the keys. Without thinking, she began to play the music on her stand--one of her saddest pieces she'd ever picked up. With no words, the song had o story, but the chords and melody told it all on their own.

amelialightwing • 6 April 2013 at 1:54 AM

@ems gosh depreshion ☹️-_-

"Everyne thinks I'm great but I'm not I'm just a normal girl I'm not speceil or anything I'm just Me who imagions that I have a friend" Christine said feeling her eyes burn with tears then she walks to the front door of her borthers house and unlocks it wityh the key Jack gave
Her and ran to her room crying slaming the front door befor hand "why do I always mess things up and make things worse" she mummbled in her pillow

Jack just draged the boy with black and white hair and ichinose to his house relizing that the door was unlocked and saw that a light up stairs was on "well here is my cozy cave just make your self's at home I'll show you to your rooms" he said turning on the lights

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 10:47 AM

He could only stand aside and watch as the black-haired girl and Rainbow (her name was Ella, he remembered) screamed at each other furiously. Neither was right to be angry at the other, neither was right to yell and shout and insult...
Yet he found himself sympathizing with the multi-haired girl.
She hadn't seemed so scattered and torn when they'd met. But now all that pain seemed to seep out through her words.

She'd had enough...
Enough of being pushed around.
Enough of being told what to do
Enough of being lied to.
And in the end when her dreams had turned out to have a price bigger than she could pay, she just gave up...

And he saw himself in her...

Jolting out of the studio after Ella, Caleb found only an street empty, deprived of people. The faint sound of footsteps to his right indicated where she had gone and he hurried to follow, regardless of the whistling wind outside.
The sky had turned gloomy days ago and the gray hue still stood.
"Rainbow!" he yelled over the uproar of wind. "...Ella!" he recalled her name, shouting it instead.
The footsteps had died out and he stopped in another empty street. A door was slammed to his right and he turned to examine the crippled house he'd paused in front of. The fence was lightly tilted upwards but was too tight a hole for him to fit in. Instead, he hauled himself over the fence, earning himself a few scratches.
Just as he did so, the first droplet of rain hit his nose. Scrunching his face, he ran onto the porch. Feeling a bit awkward, he moved towards the door, knocking lightly. After a few knocks and no answer, he frowned. She would hardly live in such a house, he mused, ready to leave. Still, the wet footprints on the wooden doorway lead him to think the opposite.
Cracking the door open, he cautiously peeked inside.
A flash of color caught his eye and he spotted Ella in the next room, sleeping.
As quiet as possible, he walked over, taking notice of the tear stains on her cheeks.
A shattered soul, tired of dealing with the hardships life offered.
Slipping out of the house quietly, he sat on the porch. The rain had turned into a storm but it was okay, he was used to the cold. He liked it...

Near Ella, right next to her pillow, a small note had been left behind.

'We walk these empty street, along the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.'

Ella heard her door creak shut, and her eyes eased open quietly. Seeing the little note, she slowly picked it up, not in the least bit groggy. 'We walk these empty streets, along the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.' No one had left their name, and Ella could only guess. She knew that the note was true enough. She'd never have that appointment, never be noticed, and just passed by strangers who cared not for her voice, or even her. She slipped the paper under her pillow, realizing that it had begun to rain. Soon she and her bed would be soaked with water. 'It isn't that bad. Rain is... Nice.' Ella thought absently, standing and heading over to a covered place in the house.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 12:35 PM

@ems I know ;-; Lemme hashtag that post ;]
@amelialightwing @dragonii Also, I was thinking that Vick doesn't really have a reason not to show up and to just up and disappear, right? ^^" So maybe we could have him get captured or something? He could be used against Christie? >,>
-
His back and vest were already soaked enough to be dripping water and the spot under him was fully wet now. Caleb sat completely casually on the stairs of the porch, smoking the last cigarette in his packet and struggling to keep it alight. The nicotine stick was already moist from raindroplets, but he didn't bother putting out the flame. Smoking helped him calm down...
The faint sound of footsteps inside the house caught his attention and he turned back to look at the window, searching for a shadow or silhouette. He wondered if the girl had gotten his note.

ems • 6 April 2013 at 12:46 PM

@jupiter_hollow You are so good at this. o.o
@amelialightwing

Ella smelled the smoke as it trickled in through one of her broken windows, making her cough quietly. She wondered who was outside; could it be whoever left the note? She creeped up to the window and peeked out, seeing Caleb smoking on her porch. "Oh... Hi." She said kind of awkwardly. A mixture of feelings swept up, irritating Ella a bit. She felt so frayed from her constant outbursts of emotions, and sometimes she felt like she'd explode.

When Savvy was finished, she wiped her eyes and looked out her window. A starry sky stared back, so Savvy washed her teeth and slipped on some pajamas before heading to bed. Her day had swirled by in a blur--and Savvy wasn't so sure that these new "friends" of hers were where she'd like to be. They all were in trouble in some sort of way; and Savvy didn't like the sound of that. Plus, they'd all just met that day. Was she really going to throw her comfortable, stress-free, happy life away? 'Oh come on. You'd do it for anyone.' Savvy told herself, but something pulled inside her. 'But those men had guns. Guns, Savvy.'

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 12:58 PM

@ems At what? Depressing posts? XD Did you read the entire hastag? What can I say, I live to depress people OvO
-
"Oh, h'llo." he greeted over the whistle of wind. the first and foremost thing he did notice was the tear stains. She'd forgotten to wipe those away. A small frown was etched on his usually neutral or nonchalant face. "G'morning, I guess." he pulled out a half smile, "I may or may not have tresspassed into your home and left that note. It all depends on whether you're going to press charges." he chuckled light-heartedly, while the raindrops trickled from his chin. His black and white hair was stuck to the sides of his face, soaked like the rest of him. His cigarette finally flickered out.

ems • 6 April 2013 at 1:04 PM

@jupiter_hollow lol, no, just good at RPing in general. *u*
--

Ella smiled a bit. "Wanna come in? I won't press charges." She quickly realized why Caleb had frowned a bit and wiped her cheeks off. Ella didn't really understand why Caleb left the note, or even followed her. Wasn't his problem.... Was it? And he didn't seem like the type to pay attention to other people's problems anyways. What was Caleb doing here? Ella left the window and opened up her door without a word.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 1:47 PM

@ems Sankyou! ❤️ Mother Hen thanks you! OvO *cluck* *cluck* You RP really good too! I'm guessing you haven't RPed before, right?
-
Standing up, Caleb shook his head and whipped his hair like a dog would, all the water from it flying everywhere. He then slicked it back so it wouldn't obscure his vision or face and threw out the cigarette.
"I'm glad you don't mind me coming into your personal space. Hard to find non-fretty people." he commented, coming inside with his usual half smile. "Gah, this is much better than the porch." he mused, a chuckle evident in his voice. "Better than my home too."
Yes, the gloomy house, however run down and dusty it was, was definitelly better than the benches he usually slept on. And definitelly better than the dump-of-a-basement he had been kicked out of... He liked it here.
"I like it here." he confirmed.
Taking notice of Ella's overally confused expression, he decided to stop being vague and cut to the real topic.
"I'm guessin' you want to talk? 'Bout the note?"

ems • 6 April 2013 at 2:18 PM

@jupiter_hollow xD No problem. ^^ I guess that's true, but I've RPed since I got here. So... Yes. [Sorry for the lateness, I missed the ping. D:] and thanks! 😸
--

Ella smiled faintly. "I suppose I do." She said, sighing. "You're good at guessing things, but I'm wondering why you followed me. You didn't seem like the type to worry about other people's problems." She shut the door softly, almost with a drawn look on her face.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 2:50 PM

@ems Sorry for the lateness ^^" I had to type this on my phone o-e I'm watching a kiddies movie with my little cousin X'D
-
"You're good at guessing things too." he replied, strolling to one of the windows and leaning on it's sill. "I rarely care about people's problems. Especially sob stories, I just don't bother with those..." he mumbled unenthusiastically, scrunching his face.
"But you're more like me than you can imagine." a small ironic chuckle was evident in his voice. "And the similarities go further than disliking celebrities..."

ems • 6 April 2013 at 3:04 PM

@jupiter_hollow It's okay. XD Daw, I love doing that stuff with little kids. *u* You just can't say no to them. I hate posting from my phone though. O-o Such a hassle.
--

Ella's brow furrowed. "You think so?" She wondered aloud. How was she similar to Caleb--apart from being homeless? She sat criss-cross on the rotting wooden floor, pretty sure she'd be sitting for a while.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 7:03 PM

@ems I do too o3o Because inside, I just adore watching Disney movies x'D Unf, I'm getting so much depressive feels today ;A;
-
Settling down next to the girl, Caleb leaned against one of the walls, his legs stretched in front of himself. He itched to light another cigarette but had none left.
"Well... The crazy hairs for one, sleeping in cruddy places AND hating celebrities." he chuckled lightly, running a hand through his moist hair and slicking it backwards. Some of the wet strands fell on his face again, sticking to his forehead.
He knew all too well that stalling wouldn't do them good.
Caleb fell silent, looking at the ground with a rather neutral gaze.
"We both let opportunities slip." he mumbled.

"We... we're tired of life. Because we can't call it a life, just an existence." he sighed out, "We both have hard personalities... a bit bitter at times, y'know? And we get judged a lot, for being rebellious...

For being different and wanting to stay different. We weren't born that way, though... We weren't born anarchists...

The world screwed us up... Stomped us to the ground..." he was slumped against the wall, voice turning the darkest shade of sadness.

"And... and when you're so young and unloved, you let the world get to you... You get tired of fighting... tired of existing and pushing yourself further. Because when every day is a fight sooner or later... you get tired of fighting for lost causes... And at that long awaited culmination when your dreams finally come true, the price you have to pay turns out more than you're willing to sacrifice.

And you give up...

You gave up...

We gave up."

#DepressingPost

ems • 6 April 2013 at 7:27 PM

@jupiter_hollow D: Stahp! You're going to make meh cry!
Oh, and Disney movies are the best. X3
--

Ella's lip wavered. "And... And even if you don't want to give up you have to; because you weren't given a choice." Caleb had just described Ella's life without even thinking. She took a shuddering breath, trying to calm herself before she burst into tears again. "You end up just going through the motions, praying for your death just to get out of the dark pit society dug for you. They pin you up as something you're not and toss you aside to be shattered.

Thrown away and broken, you decide that you might as well stop trying. No one loves you, not really. They call you a friend and slowly break you down more, loving the sound of your cries, enjoying the look on your face when they reveal their lies." Ella stared at the ground. "And when they've utterly destroyed you, they leave too." Ella paused a moment. "And you're left wandering the unfriendly streets alone, wondering what you ever did to deserve it."

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 7:39 PM

@ems I just feel depressed today xD
-
"Society made you what you are now just so the people would have someone to shun for their entertainment. You're well beneath the surface and you can see others drowning. But because of the lack of air, you can't even think about helping them. You try to swim up and save yourself. Once above the surface, most don't get more than one sip of fresh air before someone pushes them down again to save themselves. The few that remain above know how to swim and manouver through the hardships of life by balancing themselves on a drowning man's shoulders. A dirty trick, true... but you stay alive after all." he continued her words with a voice as quiet and wavering as hers.
The world resembled a sea of ship wrecked swimmers... or drowners.
"Below them are the struggling ones, they have the chance to go up but either can't swim or are pushed down... And then there's the ones that are already dead, drowned or very close to it." he concluded a bit hopelessly. "However..." he said, speaking a bit more uplifting this time. It was an indicator that he was going to change topics.
"I know I said we are very similar. But our places in the sea are a bit different."

ems • 6 April 2013 at 7:46 PM

@jupiter_hollow Man, now I'm sad. .___.
--

A balancing act... Is what it really felt like. Ella looked over at Caleb again. "Then where am I?" She asked. She felt disoriented, lost. And the more she talked about it, the more she began to feel like she was losing herself. "Where are you?"

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 7:52 PM

@ems I know... ;-; I am too. I'm sorry! </3 I never really knew Ella and Caleb would have so many things in common, sorry ^^"
-
At the question, Caleb looked away, glancing at his feet with an expression of contemplation. He was lost at thinking of how to explain the concept without confusing her further.
The sound of rain had lessened and one beam of the appearing sun was cast inside the room, dancing on the floor near them.
He jolted from his seat.
"Come on, come up!" he urged, tugging on her arm to stand. He himself leaned over the windowsill, looking at the sky for something.

ems • 6 April 2013 at 7:55 PM

@jupiter_hollow lol, no it's good! Plus, it's good that Ella and Caleb are similar. o3o
--

Ella, surprised, jumped to her feet and dashed after Caleb. "What is it?" She asked, squinting in the sunlight as she searched the skies for whatever Caleb was looking for. The light warmed her face, and Ella let herself smile a bit.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 8:03 PM

@ems
-
He solely hoped that the sky contained what he was looking for.
After a while of searching, he lightly chuckled to himself.
"You might find it very stupid that I'm saying this now but..." he paused for a second, recalling the exact words. "My mother always used to say to me that life often got gloomy and sad and that the clouds of sadness will eventually shade the sun. The wheather changes constantly, it's not always a sunny day. When the rain starts pouring and the world becomes gray... even then you shouldn't give up. Even when all the warmth and light is gone." he quietly mumbled, looking outside to the rain that still continued.
"Because..." he took a moment to smile. "it takes one single ray of light..."
His gaze travelled westward and lingered over the forming array of color on the sky above them.

"...to make a rainbow."

ems • 6 April 2013 at 10:19 PM

@jupiter_hollow I'm sorry... My phone hates the forums. ;-;
--

Ella smiled broadly at the rainbow. "Naw, it makes a lot of sense. Your mom must be smart." She punched him lightly on the arm. "Let's go do something fun." Ella wondered about her hair for a moment. She did it to be different, but now it'd remind her of what Caleb said too.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 10:22 PM

@ems
-
"Dance in the rain?" Caleb mumble-chuckled in confusion, looking at the subsiding rain outside. "I've always wanted to sing that 'Singing in the rain' song and do the sassy fabulous dance with the umbrella."
He picked up the vest he'd dumped on the floor and strolled to the hallway.

ems • 6 April 2013 at 10:29 PM

@jupiter_hollow
--

Ella followed, laughing a bit. "I know! But we should do something else... Something crazy." She rushed past the older kid and pushed through the door. "Like... Like cliff-diving or something!" She said as she turned to wait in the doorway.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 10:34 PM

@ems
-
A bit more enthusiastic now, Caleb hopped out, nodding lightly.
"So dangerous stuff! You're into danger?" he questioned, not waiting for a reply.
"I'm going to guess you spent your childhood diving off the rocks near the ouskirts of the city? Cliff of the Drowning Man?" he laughed recalling the dramatic name of the area.
"You wanna go there right now?" he questioned with a full smile now, that resembled more of an enthusiastic smirk than a smile.

ems • 6 April 2013 at 10:42 PM

@jupiter_hollow
--

"Not always." Ella smiled, glad that Caleb knew how to cliff-dive. "Let's go!" And without waiting for the boy, Ella raced off towards the bay, which ha the best cliffs, one of them being the Cliff of the Drowning Man. It wasn't more than 3 miles from the abandoned house, and running like Ella was, couldn't take more than 5 minutes to get there.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 10:49 PM

@ems
-
Startled by the sharp speed Ella had developed all of a sudden, Caleb nose dived into a run after her. No matter his speed, he couldn't catch up with her.
"Would you wait for a second, my lungs are suffocating here!" he exasperatedly shouted after her, panting like a sweaty fat man after a mile round.

ems • 6 April 2013 at 10:57 PM

@jupiter_hollow XD Sweaty fat man.
Sorry this is so short... I dunno what to post.
--

Puffing herself, Ella stopped and patiently waited for Caleb, laughing at his labored breathing. Her lungs were screaming for air, almost like she had been underwater.

jupiter_hollow • 6 April 2013 at 11:00 PM

@ems Yeah, that one was a total brain fart >,>
-
"Lemme just... restore my lungs capacity... Calm my breathing down and stop suffocating." Caleb panted, stopping and balancing on his knees. "God, never felt better!" he exclaimed ironically, continuing to run with a small desperate smirk on his face. "I might actually die before we get there."
