Tim's Apartment
Tim stomped into his small apartment and slammed the door roughly. He sat on the couch and buried his face in his hands. "I can't believe this.. it ruined my life once, why am I letting it do it again??" he said, opening his eyes and staring out the window.
Charlie pulled up in Tim's car. He parked it and locked the door. He looked at the car, he had tripled its value when he turned some of it's parts to solid silver. HE had redone the interior so it was all real leather and it had twice the amount of horsepower than it did before. He walked up to Tim's door, knocking on it, "Yo Tim. Man, it's Charlie, open up."
Tim opened the door. "Oh, hey.." he glanced at his car. "What the hell did you do to my car?? I said fix it.. not make it flashy! Now it's a piece of junk to me!" he exclaimed angrily, slamming the door in Charlie's face.
Charlie shook his head, "Fine....," he walked back and took out the leather and turned the parts back so they weren't silver anymore, but let the horsepower. HE walked back up and knocked on the door.
Tim stayed sitting on the couch, angry at himself for what he had done to Sally. He stood and went onto his bedroom and flopped down, face first onto his bed.
Charlie looked at his watch, "Okay, been long enough." He kicked down TIm's door and walked in.
Tim kept his face buried in his pillow, practically suffocating himself. He refused to move when he heard Charlie coming into his apartment.
Charlie walked in further and saw Tim, he leaned against the doorway, "We need to talk, now."
Tim ignored Charlie, keeping his face buried in the pillow.
Charlie sighed, leaving the keys on the nightstand, "Let me know when you're ready."
Tim rolled over so he stared out the window. He closed his eyes tightly and sighed deeply.
Charlie turned to leave, "Sal will probably be stopping by later." HE walked outthe door, closing it behind him.
Tim got up and went into his kitchen. He opened the fridge door and looked in. He frowned slightly and sighed, then slammed the door, causing the fridge to shake violently. He went into the livingroom and sat on the couch and turned the tv on.
Sally walked up to the door, pausing. She turned back, but walked back up to the door. SHe did this twice,
I don't know if this is a good idea. I said I wouldn't see him, but that isn't how I want to leave it. Sally knocked softly on the door.
Tim sighed deeply and got up. He went over to the door and opened it. He looked at Sally with a straight face. "What are you doing here?" he asked, leaning against the door. "I thought you never wanted to see me again..."
Sally looked down, playing with a curl from her ponytail that pulled all of her hair from her face. She looked down at her black halter top, with a long sleeve black fishnet over it and her long dark jeans, and black sneackers. "That's not what I said, I siad I didn't want to see you until you quit," she whispered, looking up at Tim, shyly, the teardrop gone from her face, and her face had no makeup in it. Her eyes were slightly red from crying.
"Whatever.. same thing" Tim grunted. "What do you want?"
Sally sighed, "I came to talk."
Tim sighed and turned to go back into his apartment, leaving the door open for Sally to enter.
Sally walked in, closing the door behind her, "You got your car back, huh? It looks good. Charlie told me that he added more horsepower."
"It's a piece of shit now" Tim muttered in response.
Sally looked out at it, "It looks like it did before..."
Tim shrugged. "I guess" he said in a low voice, sitting roughly onto the couch and staring blankly at the tv.
Sally looked back at Tim, still standing, "I'm sorry for the way I acted yesterday. I had no right to say those things. I just don't want you to waste your life like that." She explained, hoping he would understand.
Tim looked down at the floor. "I know.. and I don't wanna waste my life like that... but it's hard to just quit like that... I-I need it" he looked at Sally as his eyes filled with tears. "Can you help me?"
Everything told Sally not to do it, but she walked over and hugged Tim tightly, burying her head into the crook of his neck, she nodded, pulling back slightly, "You'll have to do what I say or it'll never end." She looked him right in the eyes.
Tim rubbed the tears away with the back of his head as he nodded. "I will... just, please don't run away from me again... I need help Sally..." he said softly.
Sally nodded, "First things first, we need to get the drugs out of your system and there's only one way to do that." She took his hand and pulled him to his bedroom, "Rest and time."
Tim nodded. He sniffled slightly and went into the bedroom after Sally. He sat down onto the bed rather roughly.
Sally sat beside him gently, after closing the door, resting her head on his shoulder, she stared at the wall. "My favortie color is green, more of a dark green. Like an emerald green," she whispered softly.
Tim looked at Sally awkwardly. "Why are you telling me this?" he asked, a light smile playing across his face.
"Well, honestly, I realized you don't know a lot about me and I don't know a lot about you," Sally confessed, looking up at him, "We told each other that we love each other in less than a week, so I thought since we have time to kill, we would get to know each other this time." She smiled softly.
Tim stared into Sally's eyes. "Good idea" he said softly. "Just ask, I'll tell you anything..."
"Well, we can start with the basics, like what's your favorite color?" Sally chuckled.
"Black... come on, couldn't you tell that before?" Tim answered, smirking lightly.
Sally stuck her tounge out at Tim, "Okay Mr. Smartie-pants.
..you ask."
"Umm... I don't know" Tim said, frowning slightly and rubbing the back of his head.
"What's your favorite movie?" Sally laughed.
Tim shrugged. "I don't really watch movies"
"Mine's Queen on the Damned," Sally grinned, "I love vampires or at least Lestat anyway."
Tim nodded. "Anything dark... or goth I like" he smirked widely. "Why do you think I was attracted to you in the first place? There's was just something about you..." he smiled and looked down.
Sally smirked, pulling Tim's face to hers. She kissed him, slowly laying back.
Tim laid down with Sally, kissing her lightly. He put his hands up to Sally's cheeks and held her head while he kissed her.
Sally wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him closer to her.
Tim broke the kiss and leaned back abit. He smiled down at Sally softly. "I'm glad you came to talk" he whispered to her.
Sally smiled, "Me too," She smiled teasingly, "Now get back here. I'm not done with you."
Tim raised an eyebrow before leaning back down to kiss Sally once more.
Sally raised her head slightly and kissed Tim. She pulled back smiling. "Favorite candy."
Tim leaned back from Sally and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Since when do badboys like me eat candy?" he asked, rolling his eyes slightly.
"Well, I like anything that's choclate," Sally smirked.
"Well, I'll have to remember that" Tim said, smirking lightly.
"Favorite thing to do," Sally chuckled.
"Play guitar, listen to music and be a loner" Tim laughed in response.
Salyl pouted, "What and not be with me?"
Tim smiled. "Being with you is my new favorite thing to do... I just changed my list just now" he laughed, knowing he didn't make any sense.
Sally laughed, "Well, it's all fair, you're not in my top ten either. Mostly dancing, archery, and traveling." Sally looke up at Tim's pillow, "But I could always put you in there." She smirked, giggling and stood up, staying just out of arms reach.
Tim laughed lightly. He reached for Sally, but couldn't reach her. "What are you doing way over there... come back here" he said softly.
Sally smiled, "You almost had me. Just a bit further."
Tim stood up fast and grabbed Sally's arm, pulling her to him. "You're not getting away from me that fast!" he smiled.
Sally smiled up at Tim, "I'm not going anywhere."
Tim smiled and leaned close to Sally's ear. "You better not" he whispered as he bent slightly to kiss her neck gently.
"Hmmm..." Sally closed her eyes before remebering that she was suppossed to be asking questions. "Favorite.....um....I can't think of anything...." She smiled sheepishly.
Tim smirked widely. "Here, you wanna know about me?" he sat down on the bed, pulling Sally down onto his lap. "My name's Tim, I live alone because my parent's ditched me. I play lead guitar and sing in a band I formed two years ago with my two friends and my brother. Last year my brother was killed in a car accident.. go figure" he smiled, thinking about how he was almost killed the same way. "Anything else?"
"Anyother siblings?" Sally asked. "All I had was Artemis, mu sister and Sarah now I guess, since her parents adopted me yesterday." She smiled.
Tim shook his head. "No.. my brother was the only sibling I had..." he looked down at the ground, a nostalgic, sad look coming over his face. "That damn drunkie... why the hell was he even on the road that night?" he blinked and sighed deeply.
"Well, I went to boarding schools all around the world. Italy, France, Spain, England," Sally sighed, looking at the wall. "My birth parents were rich too. My dad was an ambassador, and my mom was a model. My mom was a cat demon and my dad was like me. My dad died a year before the fire, my mom died in it. Artemis went to college and I was put into a foster family who adopted me. They just gave me what I wanted, and a lot more, so I would leave them alone. Sarah set me on a blind date with Charlie, that's how we met, but we just became friends. I've know Sarah since birth. We were born in the same hospital. And for the last three years, I was in a boarding school up in Maine. I think that's about everything."
"Wow..." Tim answered, looking at Sally softly. "Oh yea.. I forgot, I DO have another sibling.. a sister.. though, I don't talk to her much... we've never got much to say to each other..."
Sally looked up at Tim, "What's her name?"
"Celeste" Tim answered, looking at the ground once more.
A look came across Sally's face, "I know a Celeste...what does sh elook like?"
Tim shrugged. "I need a drink" he said, changing the subject. He got up and went into the kitchen and opened the fridge and ducked his head into it, looking for a beer. (yes, he has beer)
Sally gasped as she fell on the bed and heard what TIm said. SHe ran over to the fridge, closing the door on him, "NO. No beer. Not right now."
Tim jumped back fast. "Sal... just one glass.." he said, opening the fridge once more and pulling out a bottle.
Sally took it from his hand and put it back into the fridge, "No! Not right now, you said you would do what I said, remember?" She looked up at him, "I think I can come up with something else for you to do," She smiled teasingly.
Tim stared at Sally plainly. "Just one.. please?" he said softly, his eyes pleading. He gave Sally a look of a sad puppy that was denied a bone.
"Fine, but how many you drink, is how many I'm going to drink," Sally said, opening the door.
"Well, that's not much then.. you might as well have the rest of this bottle because i'm only having a glass.." tim said, pouring some beer into a glass. He put the bottle down. "See? more then half the bottle left.. that's it, that's all" he said, leaving the kitchen and going into the livingroom.
Sally took the bottle, following Tim. SHe sat next to him, cuddled into his side. Her knees drawn up to her chest. SHe smiled softly.
Tim smiled and put his arm around Sally's shoulders and held her close to him as he put his drink down and grabbed the remote to the tv. He started flipping through the channels boredly.
Sally took a sip of the beer, setting it down. "I'm bored," she stated, looking up at Tim.
Tim looked down at Sally. "Well.. what do you wanna do?"
"No idea," Sally layed her head on Tim's chest, and put her legs over Tim's lap.
Tim smiled and leaned his head on Sally's gently, cuddling her to him.
"Actually, I have one. Not moving would be great," Sally said sleepily, cuddling closer to Tim.
"Then, we'll stay right here" Tim answered quiety, keeping his head rested on Sally's head.
Sally looked at the t.v. slightly bored and tired. She closed her eyes, leaning against Tim. "School's in an hour and I have to get you back in," Sally chuckled.
Tim nodded. "Yea..."
"What's wrong?" Sally looked up at Tim, concerned.
"Nothing..." Tim answered, frowning slightly.
"Tim...please don't lie to me," Sally frowned sitting up, looking at Tim.
Tim looked at Sally with a stern look. "I am not lying to you" he growled. "Why the hell would I lie to the girl I love??"
"I don't know, sorry, it just sounded like it," Sally sat, looking away, "And sorry for caring." She stood up and walked to the kitchen, taking the beer with her.
Tim sighed deeply, feeling like he needed a smoke. He stood and went into his bedroom and flopped down onto the bed. trying not to think about smoking a joint.
Sally walked into the room, smiling a little, "Let's get to school." She held out her hand.
"why? It's night time..." Tim answered.
Sally chuckled, walking over to the window, opening the curtains. The sunlight from the almost setting sun poured in, "Well not yet, we can still go get you back in..."
Tim nodded. "Ok, sure, why not..." he muttered. He stood up then looked at Sally. "Can I have at least a normal cigarette..?"
"Half...on the way...deal?" Sally playfully glared.
"Half a cigarette?? I can't just quit like that... I'll have one full one on the way... then tomorrow i'll cut it down to half"
"Fine, but we're going to see the principal," Sally took Tim's hand, walking out of the house. (Silver Wind Hallway)
Tim nodded and grabbed his pack of cigarettes and locked the door behind them. He lit the cigarette aw they walked down the front of the apartment building.,
Tim walked into his place, with Zyke following close behind. "Want a drink?" he asked, tossing his keys and cigarettes onto a small table near the door. He went into the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"Yea.. sure, whatever you're having" Zyke answered, looking down at the cigarettes. He looked at the kitchen doorway, then reached down and grabbed the cigarettes and shoved them in his pocket, hiding them.
