[Closed] Dancing with the Wolves

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn smiled as she returned, taking a nacho and biting into it, pausing to hook his feet on the chair rungs, shifting his weight some. He licked his lips. "Yeah I do. Freshman in high school," He huffed, nodding faintly. "Not too bad I guess, could be worse." He shrugged faintly. "would have been home schooled, but no way my mom could handle the four of us by herself." He laughed softly, taking another bite.

She nodded. "I wish I could go to real school. I used to. Until I started modeling. Now I don't have time. I have a teacher come in during my breaks and on my days off.." She ate another nacho, wiping her fingers on the napkin.

"My.. four of my brothers are in college and one teaches at the high school. I kind of wish I had a mom.. Someone to go shopping with and stuff.. Talk to things about." She picked up another chip, watching the cheese drip off of it. "But beggars can't be choosers, so I'm happy I got six guys to watch out for me." She popped the chip in her mouth, looking around.

"So.. What are you doing this weekend?" She asked shyly.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

"That's cool..yeah, sometimes I wish I could have my father back," He admitted, biting at his lip. "This weekend? Nothing that I know of." He smiled crookedly her way. "why, you wanna hang out?" He ran a hand through his bangs, brushing them away from his eyes gently.

He leaned back some, working on a few more nachos almost lazily.

She bit her lip, not realizing she had hit a nerve. She tapped her fingers on the table, then bit into another nacho. "I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to this show me and the other models have to go to. Or we could go the day after to the movies, if you're not comfortable around a bunch of people. They make me nervous too.." She looked down at her half eaten nacho, wondering whether or not she wanted to finish it.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn smiled the slightest bit. "Nawh, crowds are fine," He huffed, finishing his nachos rather quickly. "I'd love to go watch you guys." But of course he would, being a typically guy and all.

He rubbed at his chin, let out a slow breath. He had hoped the pain would fade but it wasn't. He grimaced, resting his elbows on the table, hanging his head in his hands for a moment.

"Good. I'll get Chan to pick you up at six on Saturday." She looked over at him, and realized something was wrong. She moved a little closer, taking one of his hands into hers, looking at him.

"Hey, you're too cute to hang your head.. What's wrong?" She tipped his chin back so he would look at her. "Are you okay?" She stroked his cheek gently with long, delicate fingers. "Do you want me to go get Cole? I can go get him for you.."

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

"Okay..." He huffed shakily. When she tilted his head back he grimaced, closing his eyes. "Headache..." He rasped softly, eyes burning from the pain. "The accident-...severed my spine..it's all screwed up..gives me migraines.."

He groaned faintly. "Forgot my pain meds this morning.." Letting out another shaky breath he gripped at his head again, fingers tangling in his dark hair. The pain was making him sick.

[shaun michel foster]

She bit her lip, his words bringing tears to her eyes. She jogged back to the other end of the mall, her hair falling out of the loose ponytail it was in. She grabbed Cole gently by the arm, tugging on him.

"Cole.. Shawn's scaring me.." She said quietly, pulling on him again. "Come ON before he passes out or something! I'm a model, not a doctor!" She bit her lip, feeling tears falling down her cheeks. She pulled him back to where Shawn sat, wrapping her arms around herself. "Fix him.."

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Cole jumped as his arm was grabbed, trailing after her, not sure where his other two brothers were. Shawn had his head in his arms on the table, looked up hazily as they returned. He bit at his lip, lowered his gaze again. Feeling his twin brother touch his arm he relaxed a bit.

"I'll be right back Shawn," The other boy murmured, knew Jacob kept pain meds with him. Shawn heard him go, upper body rigid. "Damn..." He mumbled, eyes burning with tears from the pain. He was feeling ready to throw up when a firmer hand rubbed soothingly at his back. "Shawn, here.." Jacob murmured. He took the water and pills without hesitation, downing them, could feel the tension Jacob held. He didn't want to be here while Shaun was, but didn't want to leave his little brother either. "it's fine Jacob..thanks.." He mumbled, cheek finding the cool table. Jacob drew back some. "I'm sorry..I shoulda told you I forgot to take them.."

[shaun michel foster]

Shaun saw Jacob walk up, and as much as she didn't want to leave Shawn, she walked over to the bathroom. She started to wash off her face. She wiped off the mascara that had ran down her cheeks, then pulled herself up on the counter, reading through the texts Channing had sent her. She texted him back, looking down at her phone. He texted her back, and she looked down at the phone. She sighed, setting the phone down on the counter. She ran her hands down her legs, then pulled her hair over her shoulder, playing with it.

She grabbed her phone, slipping off the counter. She looked in the mirror again before walking back out to Shawn.

"Hey.. Are you okay now?" She asked quietly, hugging herself.
