The Courtyard

you...

you didn't have anyone to talk to?

*face becomes even more puppydog like*

Well... now I feel even more selfish.

*head falls*

Well, no, not really.. Sometimes I would talk to myself, or talk to the tree's or the animals..

I mean, sometimes when I went to town I would start up smalltalk with some of the freindly people, but I didn't know any of them..

Selfish?
Your not selfish, Jackie.. You invited me to come live in this beautiful and huge house when you first met me, how is that eing selfish?! You wanted to share this house, and even your own bedroom, with a complete stranger, that's not being selfish..

If you ask me, I think you probably need to learn to be a bit more selfish

Oh...

Well then.

What if...

should I be this selfish? It's basically my problem anyway

.. Are we gonna keep chatting on my hobo-life or about what's wrong with you?



Because I'd rather talk about you than myself

*drops head*

What's wrong with me is me.

I can't be selfish.

I can't be outgoing.

I can't be what you need.

I can hardly even be with you.

I'm not good enough for you...

*gets up and starts to walk farther away from the house*

Woah woah woah!

Hold up!

*stands in Jackies way*

You were outgoing when you asked me, a complete stranger, to live with you.

You were selfish by asking me to share a room with you when that house has plenty of empty rooms that I could've stayed in.

You're also a freind to me, the only freind I've had since.. *ears droop back* Umm.. For a long time. And that's definetly something I need.

And I know that were not technically dating, but what you said sounded like a brakeup line..

So instead of asking you not to break up with me, I'm going to ask you to go with me...

*sigh*
Jackie, will you be my girl?

*eyes fill with tears*



*heart skips a couple of beats*

I...

did you...

did you really just ask me that?

>.>

Uhh.. I might have....



<.<

That depends..

*gasps*



oh...

oh God.....

*bolts towards the house faster than she knew she could run*

*shouts over shoulder*

I'M NOT RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU!!!

O_o

Uhhh...

Crap.....

...I just looked like an idiot..

EDIT: *fidgety* ...


*gives up on waiting and run's into my and Jackies bedroom to change into a human*

*climbs wall*
*starts walking around it*
*shoves hands in jacket pockets*
*thinks*
Wonder were Adden got off to?

*starts humming silent night*

*climbs down side of house*
*lands on grass*
*grins to self*
Feels like high school all over again.

*watches Daniella out of corner of eye*
Very nice.

*keeps walking on wall*
*slips on ice*
*falls to ground*
Owww.
*climbs back up*

*plops into snow*
*makes a snow angel*

*yells from ground*
SMOOTH MONICA!

*yells back*
You didn't see anything!

*jumps down*
*goes over to tree*
*climbs up*

*sniggers*
Of course I didn't..

*lays back and closes eyes*

*curls up in a tree*
*takes deep breathe*
*tear streams down face*
*wipes away*
*climbs higher and stays there*
*thinks*
what happened Jumpy?

*walks up to the end of the treeline to go home after a long mission*

*whispers*
Rizzo. I know you can hear me. I did it.
I did it for you.

*stops abruptly when she feels something different*

There is nothing left for me here right now..
I hope you understand.
I'll be back soon. Promise.

*turns and runs off*

*comes home and changes then goes back outside*
*picks up conversation she left off*
Adden I don't know.
And you know I worry about her. But it is not my place to interveine now is it?
After what I saw I will want to keep a eye on her. Angelo was worried to the extream of being worried.

*climbs up wall*
Stop it.
Stop giving me that look.

*keeps smiling at Monica*
Love you have changed.
For the better.
You aren't the same Monica that tried to kill me. No you are a sweeter Monica.
And you have grown softer while being here.
But I like that, don't get my wrong.
And I know why too.
*points at Jumpy's window*
She has changed you.
You finally have a fear stronger then me.
I can see that in your eyes and when you think about her.

Yea I finally have a family.
And she is one of my fears.
I don't want to see her go, ever.
But you still win.

*lays head on Adden's lap*
*looks up at him*
You know I don't ever want to leave here
I don't think I could.

*thinks*
You are staying for christmas aren't you?
You better.

I'll be home for Christmas
I promise.
You would kill me

*runs hand through Monica's hair*
I'll be right back.
*moves monica's head and goes into parlor and grabs guitar*
*comes back out*
I'll tune it first.

What are you doing?
*smiles*
I see now.
But let's keep it soft.
Some people might be sleeping.

I can do that
You just humm to it.

*starts playing silent night*
*whispers*
I always did like this song

*laughs a little at Adden*
*he stops playing*
No please don't stop
I liked it.
*he starts playing again*
*starts to sing along with him playing Silent night*
