You're crashing but you're no wave [open]

[Reese Mackenzie]

Reese’s eyes suddenly filled themselves with tears. This morning it had seemed to be a great day but now her best friend was upset with her and one of her closets friends was angry with her. She felt a lump form in her throat and for moment she didn’t know where to look so just focused her eyes on Brooklyn instead. Trying her best to swallow it Reese blinked a few times to keep herself from actually crying. Slowly looking back up to Chris again her voice was soft, “Course you are my best friend Chris and you always will be. You know that. I didn’t know you two knew each other, let alone you were dating.” She said looking from Christian to Aidan. But it hurt that Chris wouldn’t give Tony a chance. That he had to keep saying it wouldn’t work out. Didn’t he want her to be happy?

She bit her lip, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear with a shaky hand. “Aidan I’m sorry okay. I should have told you sooner. You win.” It was then that a tear slipped down her cheek. “I know I have been like the most suckiest friend lately and I’m really sorry for that.” He had every right to be angry with her and she knew she shouldn’t be crying. But really, even the littlest of things could get her to start crying these days. She blamed the hormones for that.

[Christian Tait]

Brooklyn puckered out her bottom lip in a pout as she stared up at the woman she now believed to be her mother. Little kids were smart, they knew when something was wrong without any real evidence. It was a feeling. Brooke let out a soft whimper, her face turning a light shade of red as it turned into a full out cry.

Christian didn't know what to think as Aidan narrowed his eyes at him. He had only been asking a question. If Reese had told him then they might have met sooner. He looked away from his boyfriend, resting his chin on Reese's shoulder as he reached out to rub Brooke's cheek with the back of his hand to soothe her. "It's alright..sorry.." He sighed. He was really beginning to hate that word.

[Aidan Kinney]

"No. I'm sorry" Aidan sighed saying in a rather weak voice. "For opening my big mouth" He shouldn't have said anything. It was always like that. his mother was right. He could only hurt people. That' why they had to punish him. He looked at Reese and Christian noticing how his boyfriend looked away from him to turn to his best friend. They looked like a happy family. They could be. Brooke already thought Reese was her mom and Chris acted as if her baby was his. Aidan bit his lip and put the empty coffee cup aside. "I think you need some time without me" He said barely audibly before getting up and heading for the bathroom

[Reese Mackenzie]

A second tear ran down her cheek. Chris didn’t get it did he? “No it’s not alright, it was alright before I came walking into this place.” And now both boys were hurt cause of her, there was an awkward vibe between Aidan and Chris and even Brooke started to get all upset. All of that just cause she had decided to go sit with them. Rubbing the tear from her face she smiled faintly at Brooke. “I think it’s better if I just go home, before I get you two to actually start fighting or something.” Talking about it now didn’t have much use. So she promised herself she would go talk to both of them either tomorrow or in a few days. Separately.

[Christian Tait]

Christian reached out to grab Aidan's wrist before he could get a chance to leave him but missed. And then Reese started in on him. This was all his fault, all because he hadn't gotten much sleep last night and had to wake up being a big baby. He took his daughter from Reese, holding her head against his chest and rocking, mostly to calm himself rather than her. Two of his loves were walking out on him.

[Aidan Kinney]

Aidan needed to calm down. He felt as if someone was ripping his heart out. The view seemed too obvious to him. Reese and Christian. A perfect couple. Sharing the same dream. He wanted to scream, cry and kick something. He was losing his boyfriend and his close friend because he opened his mouth again. hirt them both and now they'd comfort each otehr hating him.

When he left the bathroom he was calm again, only his red eyes betraying what happened in there. HE sat at the table crossing arms on the table and hiding his face in them

[Reese Mackenzie]

Reese was grabbing her things together when Aidan got back from the bathroom. She opened her bag and dropped her juice in it along with her muffin that was wrapped in a napkin. Silently closing it again she looked over at the boy with watery eyes. “I’m just gonna go home…” she softly said, standing up from her seat. “Boys don’t be upset with each other alright? I’m sorry that I got both of you upset, but take it out on me, not each other.” She really hated that she had ruined it all by joining them, they shouldn’t let this ruin the rest of their day as well.

[Aidan Kinney]

"Stay" Aidan said before Chris could even have time to do anything. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'm overreacting. I had no right to do what I did. i'm really sorry." He continued taking his glasses off and wiping them with his scarf. He looked up at both of them, his eyes red and very sad. His stomach rumbled loudly bringing a dark blush onto his cheeks. "Please stay" And with that he got up and walked to the counter. Screw new guitar. Screw saving. he'd never achieve anything anyway so why bother. He got himself the biggest muffin and a glass of milk shake

[Christian Tait]

Christian didn't understand why Aidan had come back, he had figured by leaving in the first place that he meant they were breaking up. Not even a week into the relationship and it was already presumed to be over. He would cry now but he had an impressionable child in his arms and would only be ridiculed for breaking down in public. Instead he took a deep breath and sat there in silence watching the two of them blame themselves over something so trivial, willing his legs to move so he could run away.

[Reese Mackenzie]

Leaning into him Reese pressed a soft kiss on top of Christian’s head. “I love you, I’ll talk to you soon okay?” Gently brushing Brooke’s cheek in a way of saying goodbye to the girl. “You look after your dad for won’t you honey?” a little smile tugging on her lips. She softly squeezed Christian’s shoulder before she turned around and headed over to Aidan.

Softly Reese let her hand slip around Aidan’s wrist when she approached him from behind, letting him know she was standing right behind him before she gently turned him around to face her. “Can we spend some time together this week? I miss you.” She really did miss him and she wanted to make it up to him. Seeing him upset like this broke her heart.

[Aidan Kinney]

Aidan sighed looking up at her. "I miss you too" He said wrapping arms around her waist and pulling her close hiding face in her stomach. It was a very rare thing for him to allow himself something that bold and personal and everytime he did that he was too upset to control his actions. "Of course we'll spend some time together. You have a long story to tell me" He murmured

[Christian Tait]

"Okay.." Christian mumbled, watching her go suck up to Aidan next. She had left him, something that never happened between them before. Normally she refused to leave without resolving everything first. Chris was still having trouble figuring out where things had gone wrong and why he had gotten so upset in the first place. He looked away from Aidan, unable to look at him for it made him sick to his stomach just knowing that they were over already. "Looks like it's just the two of us again Princess..forever and ever. You wouldn't leave daddy would you?" He asked the hurt evident in his voice, running his fingers through her dark curls as he got to his feet.

[Reese Mackenzie]

Reese gently ran her hand through his hair. “Yeah I do…” her voice still soft, liking it how he suddenly pulled her close. She had always been a touchy person with the people she cared for, she always had a hug ready for whoever needed it. “I’ll see you soon.” she said, before she headed over to the exit. But right before she walked out of the cafeteria her eyes wandered over to Christian. Reese hated to not talk things through, but what was bothering her should not be talked about now. And not in public either. She sighed, then turning around and headed home.

[Aidan Kinney]

Aidan was looking at Christian for a moment. He caught his words and frowned. This was ridiculous. Were they really over? He couldn't let that happen. He needed to fight. He walked to him slowly standing behind the man he loved, even though he had yet to realize that, and wrapped arms around his waist. "Wasn't I supposed to watch her while you catch up on your sleep?" He asked in a soft voice.

[Christian Tait]

Christian hadn't gotten very far before he was stopped by a pair of skinny arms that had wrapped themselves around his waist. He stood there unmoving and silent for several long moments. The reasoning behind their little argument or whatever you could call it finally coming back to him. Aidan hadn't trusted him, that's what. "I suppose..but aren't you afraid that I'll be dreaming of other people? I am a recovering whore after all.." He asked barely audible.
