Nate slid casually out of the school. His hand hidden in his bulky coat and an outline of a whisky bottle hidden in there. His heart rippling with every step as he impatiently was tempted to open it every second and chug the acidic flavor down his throat and be for once happy. His life has went down the drain since he was born, he might as well be happy and enjoy some of it now.
He at last was hidden in the back of the school, where there were less windows and no one ever goes out. He immediatly opened the bottle with one easy twist. His eyes gleamed with thirst and hunger for the powerful flavor and the affect it had on him as he gulped the liquid down and hit his system. But he didnt realize quite yet that there was a figure beside him.
(anyone can join)
KeKe had been walking around all day long. Her last class got out early due to someone getting hurt in the care of magical creature's. But, oh well, no one was really paying attention in that class anyways. She looked around the place she was at, keke heard someone coming, and then hid, in the dark. Something she would always do.
Her long blonde hair was done over her face, she didn't breath. The guy came over right by her, and took a drink of something, that smelled terrible. She didn't realize who its was till, they coat they had, oh. She sighed.
"Tastes better when you savor it." Axel said as he was walking by. He too had be in the Care of Magical Creatures lesson when a student had been injured. Too bad. He actually had some interest in that class. He figured that, since he was new here, he might as well walk about a little. Get a feel of the dreaded school. His hands shoved in his pockets, he went up to the two, recognizing the girl. He gave her a nod as to say hello without actually speaking.
She looked at him, "Great you blew my cover!"she said to him. She came out of the dark with her broom stick, she had Quidittch practice later, she was already dressed for it.
"Your gonna pay for that"she said to him.
Axel raised a brow, a little confused.
"Cover?" He said. "What cover? Where you in hiding or somethin'?" He asked curiously. He looked at the other person, his eyes on the bottle. Axel couldn't help but feel the annoying crave that he had. He had a bottle of firewhiskey upstairs. That could fix him for awhile.
You could say Axel was an alcoholic. Not one who had to have a drink constantly, but he needed one every couple of days or else reality might just kill him.
She laughed at him, "Ahh, you could say that..."she said with a smile. KeKe pushed her hair out of her eyes, and she laughed.
"What about you?"she asked him, "What are YOU doing back here"she added.
Molly walked in to see what the school was like now. SHe was considering actully taking a semester course. She really wanted to get back in touch with her old friends. She was walking towards the corordoors when she saw keke and some other person she didn't know. She ran up to keke from her back side and gave her a huge hug. "I missed you buddy" she said. THen she thought maybe keke wouldn't recognize her with her now blackish brownish hair and more tall appearence.
Axel shrugged.
"Just gettin' a feel of the school. Haven't exactly toured the grounds yet." He responded, looking around at the tree's and then at the school.
Molly stood staring at the guy she did't know. she took this opurtunity and Introduced herself, "Hi, I'm molly. I used to go here , then I left, so now i'm back." SHe stuck out her hand for a shake.
Axel turned to look at the other girl and held out his hand, shaking hers lightly.
"Axel." He said with a small smile.
She didn't know what to say so she kinda looked around. Then to make a convosatrion she siad "So I see nothings really changed." she sighed, same old typical hogwarts.
(I appologize for my poor spell;ing. The sad thing is I'm my school spelling bee champ, hmmm bad hand i cordnation)
((Haha. Don't worry about it. I'm a spelling/grammar nerd. So I have to spell well or else I want to shank myself. XD ))
"Were you an old student?" He asked.
"Yeah, I was for a long time." SHe sighed " THen i had to go live with my grandmother, lets say my family past has a lot to be desired. And she's kind of a pain in the but when it comes to p rotection."
Axel laughed silently to himself.
"Be thankful that she is there to protect you." He said quietly. He would love to have a grandmother to watch over him.
"Yeah, so I take it your family's bad. Err i know the feeling. Mom's dead and well dads a bad guy, sis is too so lets say grammy's all i got, besides my big ol family here. LOL" SHe said, she hated getting personal but sometimes she just rambles, this was one of those times.
Axel felt uneasy as his hands dug deeper into his pockets.
"My..family's dead." He said quietly, looking away.
"I"m sorry, trust me i know the feeling." she felt bad for bringing it up. SHe knew what it felt like to have, ummm no resources but at least she had her frandma, and her dad and sis if you want to consider being atacked by them family. SHe repeated her self"I'm really sorry, i didn't.... well...... yeah..." great now her natural charm was muttering... IHATEMY BRAIN she thought then went back to serrious mode.
"It's okay." He said. "You didn't know." Axel took a deep breath and then silently exhaled. People probably thought he was just a depressed drunk with the way he had been acting the last few days. He decided to try to talk a little more.
"What year and house are you in?" He asked.
KeKe looked down, as they talked about their familys, being dead.
"At least, your mom, dad, both brothers, and soon to be you aren't dead"she said to them, then looked up.
"At least you don't have some crazy murder, after you , thats killed you whole entire family."she said to them.
"At least you have a home, I have a drunken uncle"
"So don't any of you say your life sucks, because you have know idea of a bad life, untill you have walked in my shoes, seen what ive seen, and heard what ive heard. Becuase everything, I have been through in the last year, is been death, and I was forced to watch, the guy, murder every single one of my family members."
"All in one year"
Axel just looked at Keke. How could she say that her life was the worst? All of them had their share of troubles. None of them could be measured. Axel had lost his sister, mother, and father in a car crash and was forced to live with people that refused to love him. She didn't understand.
"Come with me." Axel said at last.
She looked up at him, then at Molly, then back at him. Her eyes were starting to tear up.
"Why?"she asked him. "Where?"
Axel had started for the forest.
"Just follow me." He said quietly.
She looked at him, standing there for a minute, then picking up her broomstick, and following him into the forest. She ran up to him, and then started to walk as the same pace as him. She never trusted the forest. Not now, she use to though.
"Where are you takeing me??"she asked him.
"I'm not really sure. You're upset. Walks can be calming." Axel said. He could sense her fear.
He led her to the center and then stopped. With his back turned to her, he looked up at the tree's.
KeKe, looked at him and nodded. "Ohkay?"she said.
She stood there, and then sat down on the ground, while his back was facing her. She didn't know why, but she asked him the most 5th grade question in the history of 5th grade.
"Do you hate me?"
Axel was so surprised. He turned around and then, after a moment of silence, sat across from her.
"How could I hate you?"
He looked at the ground, picking at the grass.
"I brought you here so you could let your guard down. I know what the pain is like..and sometimes...you just need to cry. To scream." Axel had come here on his first day to do those things. He couldn't...no. Wouldn't, cry infront of anybody. And he learned that nobody could hear him from the school.
He knew she was scared to be here though.
"I'll protect you." He said.
KeKe looked at him. Her eyes droped to the ground, as he finger drew int he dirt.
"I don't know..."she said to him, and shrugged.
"I don't need to cry or scream or anything. Just mad. Thats all"she then looked up at him.
"The....person. just took something that wasn't his to take. I wish I could change it, but I can't. No matter how bad I want to. I just can't seem to. "
The sky was now, dark. Stars were shineing in the sky. Everything was now quite.
"Why?"she asked him.
"Why will you protect me? When I barely know you."she said, "Why me?"
"Anger leads to sadness."
Axel sighed and the shrugged.
"I need a purpose." He supposed. "Plus..you're officially a friend to me now. I protect my friends."
He picked up a stick and inspected it before setting it on the ground again.
"It sucks to lose the ones you love... You feel so..alone." He said in a quiet tone.
She looked where they walked off too. She didn't know wether to follow or not, keke was really sad and well axwl was too. She decided to slowly walk behind them. She could hear their convorsation but didn't bother to catch up. She did''t watn to ruin the moment... err wha5tever it was.
She looked at him, as he picked up the stick, and then sat it back down.
"Thank you."she said to him, with a tiny smile.
KeKe looked around and then back at him, when he said it sucks to lose the ones you love. She lost it. She just couldn't take it anymore. Tears came pouring out of her eyes.
Molly heard cring and heard keke's voice. She ran up to keke and gave her a hug." i know your sad girl, but all the kids here have a problem." SHe paused" Alex, you, and me all have lost our parents, and i know that your sad and I am too, but life sucks." SHelooked from keke to alex and back to keke."I Know its hard and I, er we are here."
She looked at him.
"Molly your soo stupid..."she said to her.
"His names Axel. Not Alex"she said.
"You stupid."
Axel was quiet. In all honesty..he wanted to cry too. But he wouldn't. not with them here. He took a silent deep breath.
"Let it out."
She stoped, and looked around.
"Would you people stop stareing at me..please"she said to them she was done crying.
"Oh wow.."
"Sorry.."
He looked at the ground again, his red hair in his sky blue eyes.
She sighed..."Im sorry."she said her british accent starting to come out.
God, she hated it.
He looked at her and his hand wiped away a tear that remained on her cheek.
"Are you alright?" It was stupid for Axel to ask a question like that. She would never be alright. She would always hurt. But he had nothing else to say..
She looked at him, "Yeah, Im fine."she said to him and tried to smile a little.
(whoa, one liner. dude. Ive done that alot lately. Whats wrong with me?)
((Me too. I've gotten writers block a lot lately!!))
"That's good." Said Axel.
((1 liiiineeeeeer!!))
(I meant axel i just can't spell)
NOw molly was pissed. She hated being called stupid. NOrmally she would scream at keke for calling her that and for being a self centered snob(no offense percussion chick) but because axel was kinda sad she was gonna spare him and her. SHe rolled her eyes and said under her breath, "My life ain't perfect either princess" and as soon as she said it she was praying keke didn't h ear her.
Axel looked at Molly, his eyes narrowed. He heard what she had said and he didn't like it.
KeKe looked over at Molly, her eyes grew darker and darker. Her bright blues, where now dark greys. She griped her wand in her shoe.
"If you have something to say. Say it to my face"she said to her.
((haha, molly i love you! and percussion chick? whaaat?!))
( u n me r percussion chicks r we not!)
She knew she had screwed up, she really didn't want to scream at her and that just slipped. NOw she was in deep cause even axel was pissed of at her. Dang the semester was starting off rocky. She looked at keke then axel and then said to whoever was lisneing "Well you know not everyones' life is pie, and you shouldn't be so self centered." then she raised her haid and said in a louder tone "And you know what my moms dead and my dead and sister want to kill me so suck it up and deal." THen she turned her back crossed her arms and said "no one was supposed to get hurt, its all just the cards that were dealt"
((In real life, I'm a percussion chick! =D ))
Axel felt his hands get warm with fire. He took out his wand to make sure nobody would be hurt.
"Shut up!" He finally said. He didn't mean to be rude, but he had heard enough.
(its fun.... the drums i mean)
Molly saw Axel pull out his wand and instantly was on guard. She didn't know what he could do and didnt really want to. "Thats not what i meant, i meant that nobody would be hurt inside, so both of you put your wands down." then she felt for hers in her pocket just incase.
((we all are!! its funn!))
KeKe looked at her. Ah, right now she just wanted to punch her. She took out her wand, and around her the wind started to pick up. She looked at Molly.
( yes u, me, n the other dorks! yessss we luv our bandie)
"Hey now " she said. She deffenitly knew now that hogwarts hadn't changed. Same typicall tickoffiness.
"I'm not gonna hang around if your planning on hurting me." she said looking straight in keke's eyes. SHe then looked at alex to see what he was thinking. He was probably...... well she didn't know.
((I'm the drum captain in meh band ^^. But it's a tiny band... REALLY tiny. Look up Mogadore Band on Youtube.))
Axel stood up slowly.
He looked at Molly. "Keep your opinions to yourself. People deal with things differently."
He held his wand at his side.
She looked at Molly, "Then go, because im going to"she said to her.
"Yeah obviously she likes violence and you like being biest( i think thats how you spell it , it means picking sides)." she was really sick of this "you know okay, i'm sorry, iknow your upsett keke and you too axel and i'm sorry i upset you okay." she could feel tears coming down her cheeks and she walked away quickly to the tree. THe one she thought in.
KeKe, stood there. She forgot she was in her Quidditch cloths.
"Uggh! I hate girls!"she said, and then walked away.
Axel shoved his wand into his back pocket where it was before this and then looked at Keke.
"Biased? I'm biased?"
Axel followed Keke.
"You okay?" He asked, walking backward so he could look at her.
She was looking staight, ahead.
"No"she said.
((im going to bed..busy busy busy day tomara! but will be on! ttyl!)
((Okie dokie.))
"Shall I leave you to be alone? I did say I'd protect you."
Molly could here voices and she knew they were probably talking about her. She could get along with axel just fine. and she used to get allong with keke. ITs like keke had changed extremely ever since she left
She looked at him, "I can protect myself."she said.
"OH MY GOD MOLLY!!!!!!!!" Stella screamed, running past keke and axel...I think his name is. Anyways, "MOLLY MOLLY MOLLIEEEE!!!!!!" She tackled her still yelling like a maniac she is.
Axel nodded.
"You can." He said. "Perhaps I should go...." He looked up at the sky, thinking, and then looked back at her.
"If you ever want to talk or just..hang out. Let me know." With that, Axel turned and began walking back towards the entrance of the forest, wishing for his bottle of firewhiskey.
KeKe sighed, she felt bad now, and she did what she always did when she was upset.
She ran up to Axel, and hugged him from behind, "Im sorry"
He honestly didn't expect that. Axel was quiet, not sure what to really say or do. He finally placed his hand on hers and gently lifted it away.
"Why are you sorry?"
She looked at him, "Just because I am!"she said to him, not meaning to yell. KeKe looked up at his tall self.
"Now, I shall be going."she said, "Since there's nothing else to do"
Axel smiled and then turned into his black wolf form, running towards the entrance of the forest.
She looked at him, and rolled her eyes.
"Your not the only one that can do that. I can just change into anything I want to"she said as she waved to him, and then disapeard into the wind.
