The Old House on the Sand

*gently touches Monica's arm*
Ready?
Time to go home.
See what mess is going on becasue there is bound to be one.

*puts suitcases in back of car*
*helps Monica in*
*gets in and starts car*

Home sweet Home here we come.

*gets in car with him*
*has her knifes with her this time*
Let's get out of here.
*starts to cry softly*

*backs out of driveway and hits the higway*
*reaches over to wipe the tears from her face*
It is okay.
We will be safe where we are going.
I promise.

*takes her hand as he drives*
*looks over at her*
He shouldn't have done that.

*winces as he touches her eye*
Please don't.
*sniffles*
*pulls down car mirror*
*looks away from own refection*
He was right Adden.
All along he was right.

Who was right?
Don't tell me scorp.
He is letting his anger get the better of him.

*runs hand throught what is left of Monica's hair*
I'm so sorry love.

*flinches at his name*
No not him.
It wasn't him and right now I hate him.
But he was acting on anger and my hair will grow back and th balck eye will go away.
I can't hate him forever.

But that is not the person.
Leo was right after all.

Spoiler:

((( You don't know S---)))

p.s apart is spelled 'apart' not 'appart'.

You're right.
Anger from a few days has built up.
Sorry.

And I don't know if they have.
They didn't seem to as far as I could see.
Some may have but I don't know.
*looks over at him*
What are you thinking?

Why are you so detached from them?
You want to love them but can't or don't want to.
What aren't you telling me?

*grabs her hand again*
*goes faster*

*looks out window*
I lost my borhter and mom.
I watched them both die while I lived.
Once they died I was afrid to have more people taken away from me.
I don't think I'm able to get close to anyone in the family.

I lost my mom that way too.
I know it hurts but you have to move on. Or try to anyway.

*goes silent*
I wish they would help her.
I wish they could at least show her how they feel
Mabye Leo was right.
Mabye we are both monsters like him...

Stop it Adden.
Your not him and never will be.
Ever.

*looks at self in side view mirror*
Scorp was right.
I am a monster.
That is all I ever will be.
*runs hands through short hair*
*brings hand down to touch black eye*
*mumbles something under breath that makes Adden laugh*
What? It hurts.
I'd like to give him one.
I have other things I want to do to him but I won't.

Wake me when we get there
*closes eyes and falls asleep*

*carries Monica into bedroom and puts her on bed*
*she stirs*
Go back to sleep.

*leaves room quitly*
*heads out on to the sand*
*sits near the surf*
I wonder if we both could be taught once more.
Start new.
I'd be willing to learn.
I'm sick of always running.
*laughs*
Yeah that would be good.

*wakes up in bedroom*
*sits up*
*goes to mirror*
Well the black eye is less black.
But yet still blackish.
*runs hands through short hair*
back to the pikie cut I guess.
It will grow back.

*goes and finds Adden*
*sits next to him*
*holds hand*

*kisses cheek*
I thought you would sleep more.
You had a bad day yesterday.
*runs hand through hair*
I like it.

*both stay still and silent for a while*
Monica.
I'm tired of running away.
I just want to stop.
Start over.
I hate what has happened to both of us.
I just don't want to be the bad guy.

Adden it is not up to me.
If you can find someone great.
Go for it.
As for me I might as well go back home and ask them to forgive me.
That is all I can do.
I hate this!
I want a family again but I just lost my chance with the one I had.
I screwed up this family thing.
I wanted a family but I was afraid to have one.
But now I just want to start over and be a diffrent person.

Monica.
We both need to start over.
But I don't think they will forgive me.
Not untill I show I can be trusted.

We need to start over.
Forget the past and move on.
We can't hang onto it forever.

*inside with Adden*
*be talking all night*
I know.
But I just can't get it out of my head.
How could they want me back?

*looks over at him*
Adden I have to go home.
Alone.
Even if it is just for a few hours.
But I want to talk with Scorp mainly.
I just want to sit him down and ask him something.

Monica I don't get it.
You sit here and tell me you want to go back.
I don't get it. Why?
Why on earth would you want to go back?
And what do you want to ask him?

Adden I want to go back becasue I care that much about them.
I don't want them hurt.
I don't want anything to hapen to them.
I couldn't take it.
*turns to look out window*
I want to know if he will reteach me.
No more running.
Apprentice in a way.
Not sure why I want him to teach me but I do.
I can't explain it.

I see now.
*goes and stands in front of her*
*runs hand across cheek*
Monica I just want you happy.
If that is what you want to do then go.
I'm not going to stop you.
I don't want this life any more then you do.
I'll find a mentor.
*wrapps in arms*

*wraps arms around waist*
I love you.
I hope you know that.
But I have do this alone.
We both do.
*hides face in chest*
*thinks*
Don't let go.

I won't.
I promise
*holds her close*
Do you think he will?
I hope he will.
He will make a great mentor.

I don't know.
I hope so.
I would do as he asked becaues he has my respect.
And I turst him but if he says no then I'm not sure what I'll do.
I might turn to another member but I would like him to do it.

*yawns*
Adden I'm off to bed.
Night.

*heads off to bedroom*

*leans in doorway watching her sleep*
I'm not the man I need to be for her.
I'm horrible at it and yet she loves me.
I don't see why though.

*leaves and heads into living room*
*sits on couch and tunrs on TV*
Scorp please say yes.
Take care of her becasue I know I can't
