Sometimes we push away the ones we love.

Quinn;
I grinned at Gage and laughed quietly. I then looked down at my clothes,"Um, would you mind stepping out so I can change? I'll meet you downstairs,"I said shifting on my feet slightly.

[haileyjordan]

Gage,
I nodded, "Of course," I said softly as I stepped out of the room, closing the door behind me. I wore jackets a lot, just because I wasn't comfortable with showing my scars. Even though I still did it I was ashamed of it. I headed down the stairs and opened the cabinets. I let out a chuckle as I saw some Vodka. Were they dumb enough to leave it out? I quickly opened it and took a nice long swig of it, just to get my blood flowing before I sat down on the couch.

Quinn;
I changed into my tight fitting jeans and a loose vneck tshirt. I pulled my vans on glancing at myself in the mirror, my hair looking crazy in the ponytail it was in but whatever. I headed downstairs and stopped when I saw Gage sitting on the couch with vodka in his hand.

[haileyjordan]

Gage,
I looked over at Quinn and raised the Vodka up with a smile. "You ready to head out?" I asked, swishing it around before I took another drink of it.

[lauren.]

Quinn;
I nodded as I eyed the vodka,"Yeah,"I said glancing at him. Did he get violent when he drinks? If so, then this is a bad idea.

[haileyjordan]

Gage,
I got up and set the Vodka back in the cabinet before I headed over to Quinn. I opened the door for her as she stepped out. I wasn't feeling very drunk, and I wasn't sure whether or not I would get drunk. It was pitch black outside, except for the flickering street lights. I enjoyed it.

[lauren.]

Quinn;
I smiled and stepped outside into the dark. There was a nice breeze out which was great. I yawned as we walked down the sidewalk,"So where are we going?"I asked.

[haileyjordan]

Gage,
I shrugged, "Wherever the streets take us," I told her. "But I think right now we need to get to know each other. To a certain extent. Ask each other questions?" I suggested.

[lauren.]

Quinn;
I glanced up at him then back down at the road,"Okay, well what do you want to know?"I asked stuffing my hands into my back pockets.

[haileyjordan]

Gage,
"Well for instance, what do you do in your free time?" I asked. "Considering you don't do anything fun," I told her with a smirk. I looked out ahead of us, then back down at her with a smile.

[lauren.]

Quinn;
I smiled and rolled my eyes,"Well, I like to hang out with people, sing, dance, I go to some parties, & I volunteer at a shelter when I have the time,"I said shrugging as I glanced up at him.

[haileyjordan]

Gage,
"You sing? I'd like to see that," I said with a smirk as I let out a breath. "I would kill to have a life like yours, honestly. That's like a dream to me," I said with a sigh.

[lauren.]

Quinn;
I looked up at him fully,"It's not too late to start,"I said chewing on my lip. This wasn't a good subject to talk about but I told him I was here to talk. I just don't want to end up with marks again.

[haileyjordan]

Gage,
I let out a sigh, "It's much harder than it seems Quinn. Everything that happens, it just brings me back to then. And I never want to go back to that place. I really just don't know how. I resort to self harm, drinking, pills. That's the only way I know how to cope. I'm still confused as to why your step dad took me in," I said as I rubbed the back of my neck.

[lauren.]

Quinn;
"He likes to help people who need it. That's how my family has always been,"I said messing with my hair. I breathed in as I looked up at him,"Can I see them?"I asked, talking about his scars. I know it's strange but still.
