[OPEN] no one's ever dreamed this big.

Kellin sat his guitar down on the case, fixing Jack's hair when he toddled over. He toddled back, squatting down to dig a hole in the sand. "What's wrong?" He asked quietly, folding his hands between his knees. He looked over at him, not wanting him to go if he was upset. He felt partly responsible for him being sad, even if he hadn't directly hurt him.

"You wanna come talk? He's not much of a talker." Knox said, pointing towards Kellin. Kellin looked down, chewing on his lip. He knew Knox was right, but it bothered him that he didn't know why he was always so quiet.

Cole hesitated. "I don't like to talk about my problems..." He murmured. "I don't even know why I can't be happy..." His eyebrows furrowed as he ran his fingers over the cut in his wrist. He loomed awsy. Why talk to them? He couldn't even talk to Shawn or Baz about it, didn't want them to tell him he needed help like Jacob had. Even if he was starting to think it might be true. Some days were okay, but more and more it seemed so hardnl. He wiped at his cheeks angrily.

Knox just shrugged, picking up Kellin's white acoustic. He strummed a few notes, then started play a song, one of the one's Kellin had never been able to pick up on. It had notes he couldn't do. He looked up at the boy, watching him walk away. He still felt bad. The boy was obviously hurt. He had said he had 'problems'.

Kellin walked over to Jack, sitting down beside him. "Can I make a turtle?" He asked.

"Yeah." Jack said, handing him the turtle mold. He walked over to the ocean's edge, filling a bucket with water. He walked back, and started to pile in the wet sand into the mold, squishing it down hard. He turned it over and popped it out, listening to Jack's gasp.

"A tuttle!" Jack exclaimed.

Cole watched them a moment later before wandering up the river. He could still hear their voices faintly, but it was soothing now if anything. Sitting down, he drew his legs up and hugged his knees close, peering down into the water curiously as he rested his chin on his arms.

Kellin made another one, but the way the boy had acted was bothering him now. He got up and dusted off the seat of his jeans before wandering slowly through the trees. He stopped when he came to the edge and saw the boy, watching him for a second as he debated going back.

"You don't have to talk if you don't wanna.. But I'm right over there if you need to.." He said quietly, running his hands up and down his legs. "I just don't like the frown on your face.. It's really out of place there.."

[cole manaj gryffon]

Cole bit his lip, tilting his head to look at him tiredly. "I dunno how to be happy right now," He mumbled, rubbing at his wrist with a faint wince. He turned his gaze back to the water again. "I'unno.... I don't like talkin' to people... But... I don't know what to do.." He picked absently at a nail, distracted by it.

Kellin leaned against a tree, scared to go near the boy. Even if he seemed harmless. Two wolves were bound to get into it, no matter how shy they may seem. "I don't know what happy is, so I can't tell you.." He said quietly. He may have been happy once, when he was a child. Or that night he had spent with Knox out in Florida in his car near one of the beaches.

"I play music when I'm really sad. You can go play my guitar.." He bit his lip, not sure what to say. "Don't you have any friends?" He asked quietly.

[cole manaj gryffon]

Cole didn't look back up, aware that this guy was a werewolf, far bigger than him, and could actually shift. "I dunno how to play.." At the question about friends, he bit his lip, shook his head. None he could go to right now. Connor was too sick, Tony busy with his boyfriend. And Seth was recovering from a car accident. "Three brothers and my boyfriend... But I just left home, and he isn't at his apartment.." He shifted his weight, obviously ready to be poked fun at for being gay.

[kellin jon perrette]

Kellin pulled out his phone, checking the time. "Maybe he had to run some errands or something.. Knox always brings Jack out around this time cause it's not as busy and not as hot. Or cold.." He put his phone in his pocket, looking down at his shoes. "Is that why you're sad? Because someone's making fun of you about having a boyfriend? Cause I got made fun of a lot when I was in school because I have two moms." He mumbled quietly, kicking gently at a rock. He chewed absently on his lip, reaching up to push his hair out of his eyes.

[cole manaj gryffon]

Cole shook his head. "I-... People do, but I'm used to it.. I dunno why I'm sad.... Just..happens.." He shrugged, knew it probably had to do with everything that had and still did happen in his life. He just wasn't sure why it got harder every day.
