Heart's Desire

[KareliaTheTama]

Shaula tilted her head to the side. "But why?" she said curiously with no hint of emotion whatsoever except for her sorta-dumbfounded look on her face. Her emotion changed a few seconds later. "Yeah, being here really IS $&@* isn't it? Yeah, I know... Nothing to do. Can't stand having nothing to do. I mean, no running is $&%* on me." Shaula felt relieved for letting all that out.

Auburn's fell into a disappointed frown. She shook her head and looked sadly down at her feet. Auburn had always been terribly close with her brother and it saddened her to see her friend in pain. Sensing that Blaze needed some comfort, Auburn put a hand on Blaze's and turned him around to face her. She wrapped her arms around him tenderly and hugged Blaze tightly. "I'm sorry," she whispered and leaned her head in the crook of his neck.

Sterling approached Taylor's suite but was surprised to find that the door was closed. He knocked softly and shoved his hands into his pockets as he waited for an answer.

Brooke laughed. " I came here to meet handsome dudes like you of course!" she said in a duh-silly kind of tone. Brooke was usually never cold or condescending with good-looking guys. No that was only for the girls. Around guys she was fun, flirty, and witty. A much better Brooke to be around.

Cade listened to Shaula's rant in full before beginning to walk toward the nearby window conveniently placed right by a tree. He turned around and added, "Nice meeting you two.. I'm gonna go now." He pushed the window open, and let in a much needed deep breath of fresh, outdoor air. The wind raced past his face, blasting small particles of wood and debris. He shut his eyes, feeling at complete ease. Then he opened his eyes, and then began to assess his escape plan over again.

Blaze let go of the spoon in surprise. As he did, the spoon flicked a bit of sauce straight up at the two embracing teenagers. He ignored the tomato sauce that had perched itself on his cheeks, and he put an arm around Auburn in response. He pulled away rather quickly, adding, "You don't need to feel sorry for me. It's just the fact that me and him are two totally different people that just happened to be thrown into the same home at the age of 12. I don't like him, but I can't help but feel just a bit worried about him since he IS related to me after all.." Sighing, Blaze blinked again before walking over to the huge pasta pot, lifting the huge, steaming pot off of the stove and half-jogging over to the colander sitting in the sink. He dumped the entire contents into the colander, the water cascading down the sink, while the linguine noodles plopped down into the colander.

"Be careful, now!" Shaula called out in a kind voice. She then turned to Angel. "He's gonna be back. I can just feel it." She smiled with an all-knowing look in her eye and just stood there, pushing a lone strand of dark brown hair away from her big brown eyes, and tucked it behind her left ear. "He'll be back.. At least I hope.."

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Auburn sat silently and looked at Blaze, deep in thought. "Why do you act like you don't care?" she asked curiously. "I can see the pain in your eyes." She put a hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You can let it out in front of me," she reassured him. "I promise I won't think anything of it." She gave him a smile, not expecting Blaze to take the offer. She knew that guys didn't like to show emotion. Especially in front of girls. But she just had to let him know that she didn't care and that she was there for him if he needed her.

Blehhh sorry lol

 

[Runner]

"Well... It's a long story. I don't really want to explain it now.." Blaze of course, hadn't wanted to tell her about it, feeling as if it would turn into a giant lame sounding speech. He continued speaking. "On a lighter note, pasta's done." His lips curved into a small smile as he walked over to another cupboard by the fridge to grab two dishes. He also walked over and got some utensils. By this point, his smile was gone, seeing as he was looking away from Auburn.

 

[KareliaTheTama]

Shaula departed from Angel to tell Blaze. She poked her head into the kitchen and said, "I dunno if you guys noticed, but Cade is gone. He climbed out the window not too long ago.." Shaula's voice began to trail off as she said this, starting out cold and stern, but finishing her sentence with a sadder, quieter tone and a sorrowful look in her eyes.

 

[Runner]

(He hasn't climbed out of it yet.. He just opened it and stuck his head out)

 

[KareliaTheTama]

(Well maybe Shaula thought he did.)

 

[Runner]

(I.. Guess then.)

Blaze had his back turned to Shaula since he was trying to pull out the cheese from the fridge. "Thanks, I think I already had an idea that he was going to go. So, now can you.." He waved her off, not really wanting to talk to anybody else about Cade. If he heard one more word about his fraternal twin, he was going to burst. And by burst, he thought, he meant explode.

 

[YellowJedi]

Brayden laughed. "Okay Brooke, I guess that's a good reason for coming here.' He smiled at her. She was obviously a big flirt, so Brayden decided to loosen up a bit more. His hands stopped making the ripples, and he moved a bit closer to Brooke. "So I take it you're not the shy type." he said, realizing how dumb the joke was after he said it.

 

[KareliaTheTama]

Shaula shut her eyes and shook her head really hard several times as if to shake off the sadness of a friend leaving. "K, Imma go now.. Good luck with the pasta," she said, her tone seemingly implying "HOW COULD YOU NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR TWIN BROTHER???" even though she did not say it. She had a dissapointed look on her face as she left the room, and shook her head sorrowfully. She cast her eyes on the floor, and returned to Angel.

Blaze plugged his ears at the last part, again not wanting to hear anything about Cade. He turned to Auburn, and said, "Cade will be fine, since all he has to do is use his cell phone and call a taxi and then get to the airport, then get on a plane straight back to Seattle... Plus, he has loads of friends due to doing sports and being in ASB.. It's not as bad as seems."

Cade climbed out the window, and jumped onto the first branch of the tree. Unfortunately for him, the rest of the branches below him were at least 10 feet away from him. He would definitely not make it. Groaning, he looked back into the hall from the window. No one was there. He climbed back in, and then decided to just go sleep somewhere else. It would solve the sleeping area problem. He took his bags, and then headed to the first floor of the mansion.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

With disappointment in her eyes, Auburn simply nodded her head. As much as she wanted to encourage Blaze to go talk with Cade, she realized that nothing that she could ever say would make Blaze change his mind. So, for Blaze's sake, Auburn felt a change of subject was in order. She put on a smile and got two plates down from the cubbard. "Smells good," she said and held one out to him.

Brooke laughed. "Me? Shy?" She laughed again. "You might as well have called this place a soup kiitchen!" Brooke grinned at Brayden and splashed some water toward his direction. "Brooke Labrado is NOT shy."

 

[YellowJedi]

"I was kinda kidding." Brayden said, smiling at her. He gave a small spalsh back. "So Brooke, am I the first guy you've met here, or have you used your charms on anyone else?" He asked.

 

[Runner]

Blaze put on a smile and then scooped some pasta onto his plate with one of those serving things they use in a buffet (Can't remember exactly what it was called, I'm spacing), and then he began to ladle the meat sauce onto his plate. He sat down on a stool by the counter and began to eat, very slowly.

Cade walked downstairs and then began searching for a place to sleep. He decided not to look in the main kitchens- that would be pointless, and going to the living room or rec room wouldn't work. So he wandered until he opened a door and came across a suite that for whatever reason, was downstairs away from the rest of the suites. He wanted a place more secret than that, and what caught his eye was another door connected to a room he swore that he couldn't access from the hall. He opened a closet in the room to see that there was a small stairway going down. Shutting the closet behind him, Cade began to venture down the staircase.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Brooke smirked. "You sir are the second man I have seen so far. The first one was some weird, paranoid dude that I asked to carry my bag for me. He ended up running away." She laughed at the memory and shrugged. "People either love me or hate me. Nothing in between," she stated with a wink as she stretched, lifting her arms above her head, her wet skin glistening in the sunlight.

 

[Jadeie]

Angel frowned at Cade, she did a weak wave. Once he was out of sight, she tumbled to the floor. Cade was the first person she had a decent conversation with. Angel had found her crush, only a week into the long days of staying in the mansion. If Cade left, well, she couldn't stand it, she got herself up and stormed to the mansion's door. Angel bursted the door, to find nobody there. She sighed, she thought she had reacted too late.

 

[Runner]

Cade descended down the stairs of the stairway in the closet, and then found himself in a small, dark room that had nothing but a single bed and a small wardrobe next to it. He knew where he was going to stay for the rest of the time at the mansion at that moment. He tossed his stuff down on the bed, and then he flopped down next to the bags. Soon, he was fast asleep, finally getting proper rest.

 

[YellowJedi]

Brayden laughed a bit. "I'm leaning towards the first option. How could somebody hate a girl like you?" He asked, leaning back again. He again started to move his hands nervously but tried to do it in a way she wouldn't notice.
