[OPEN] Silence, Soul...Solitude?

[terance jayrod rowlf]

Terance shook his head, pullin out of the lot and onto the road. He reached over to turn on the radio, turning on to the main road in silence. Another cough brought his hand to his lips and just as suddenly to light changed. Breaks were slammed but Terance had been distracted. Metal crunched and he slammed his foot down. "Shit..."

Killing the engine he opened the door and jumped down from the truck. Not a scratch on his fender. The other car's bumper however.
He headed towards the drivers side of the car. Seeing who the driver was caused dread to wash over him, and he spoke the first words she would hear him say. "So sorry...are you alright?"

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

The music in tk's car was quite loud, but as the car behind her crushed her bumper and her car slid forward crushing into the car in front of her. The engine killed. Her face jerked forward, but pushed back just as quickly as the air bag flew into her face. The car was an unsuccesful sandwich. It took a couple of seconds for Taaron to realize where she was, her face looking up at the sound of words. An unsteady hand reached over, unbuckling her seat belt and grabbing the keys from the ignition. She looked up a the boy, her face sneered but held only a blank expression.

Without warning, she pushed the drivers side door open and climbed from her car. Seeing the rolled paper on the floor of the drivers side, she unsteadily reached out to grab it. Her steps faltering as she bent. Her fingers barely grasping it as she pulled up before her body crashed to the floor. Tucking the paper behind her head, she began to make sense of what was going on around her. A light had changed straight to red, but that didn't make the anger boiling it Tk go away.

Covering the paper with her hair, she pulled her hood up once more. "I'm fine. Thanks for totalling my car." She snorted and looked at the metal junk behind her. Of course it wasn't all his fault. "I'm... are you okay?" She asked, changing from apolgizing to asking if he was alright. He had been in the car pile up too.

Terance rubbed at his arm as he watched her, offered her a hand up. He stared at her car a moment, nodded at the question. "I'm...fine," He murmured. He sighed. They weren't supposed to leave the scene, he knew.

"I'm guessing you're going to need a ride home.." He cleared his throat. People were starting to crowd. "And not to be rude, but I saw that blunt. Go get in the hummer and I'll do the explaining." He was only twenty years old, he had had his taste of illegal substances.

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

Taaron snorted at his comment. "Of course you saw the blunt. You gave me the paper." she chimed, as she walked away from him. Yes, she walked back to the hummer, but she didn't get in. Instead she leaned up against the back of it, watching as a pair of cop cars and an ambulance pulled onto the scene. She checked herself over. Bumps, bruises, scratches. Nothing she couldn't handle. Her head spun again, and she inhaled deeply. Her eyes constantly watched the boy as he spoke to people asking questions. She was ready to leave.

A sly smile crossed her face, and TK walked around to the passengers side. She pulled open the door, standing on the what seemed like a trey just slightly below the door for people to use as a step. She found a pen, and luckily another piece of paper. Taaron wrote across the paper in giant, bubbly letters, 'Nice meeting you. I left a present.'. And with that she removed the joint from behind her ear, reaching under the passengers seat of the truck. She also pulled out a little baggy, pinching the illegal substance from he rolled paper. Reaching to the ground, she found small tiffs of dark grass and crumbled them in her head before squeezing it into the empty paper. Tk stuck the rolled paper up underneath the seat in a little creavest, before backing out of the passengers side. She knew it would be easy to tell that it was fake, but she didn't care.

She got down quickly, shutting the door and heading down the side walk. Her head spun in circles, and she sat down on a bench. The hummer still in view so she could see when the guy got inside. This was a fun little game. Taaron wondered what his reaction to be. Every few seconds, she could feel her eyes getting heavy. "Must have whiplash or something.." She mumbled, running her hands through her air. She didn't care about her injury though, she wanted to find out if the cat and mouse game would continue.

[terance jayrod rowlf]

Terance explained that the light had changed without warning, and should be looked into, and paid the towing fee for the totalled car, told them he would give her a ride home and make sure she was okay.

Eventually the ground dispersed and Terance headed back to the truck, climbed inside. He glanced at the receiot and sighed, reaching under the passengers seat. A whiff and he knew it was fake, smirked.

He did a U-turn, pulling onto the side of the road, and got out. Dropping onto the bench, he dropped the fake blunt into her lap. "Very funny."

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

"Oh darn, I really thought you would've tried it." She laughed lightly, picking the paper from her lap. She picked at it gingerly and slowly the grass began to fall out. She dusted the grass from her lap and looked over at the boy. "How'd the talking go?" She asked looking toward the now free of any damaged car road. "I'll pay you back for the tow by the way."

With a shrug, Taaron jumped from her seat, her head now stable after the good thirty minutes. She tossed the paper into the trash, and looked the boy over once more. "It hurts you brought back my present though."

[terance jayrod rowlf]

"I've had my years, I know fake from real." He smirked. "As for the talking, boring as hell." He chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Don't worry about paying me back, it's fine."

He watched her get up to throw it away. "Maybe I don't accept gifts." He rose and eyebrow, a gentle smile aying on his lips as he stretched. He didn't know why he wastalking to her, usually he preferred keeping his mouth shut.

"But seriously, where are you off to? I at least owe you a ride for totaling our car like that."

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

"Hmm.." The noise rolled from her lips softly, returning the gentle smile. Taaron ran her fingers through her hair, pulling it back from her face and using a rubber band to gently hold it in place. She gave a small laugh at the mention of totalling her car. "Don't worry bout the car, I got a bike back home." Quickly, she sat back down as a couple people passed by on the sidewalk.

"I was goin to the park, but I have no use for going there now. So, don't worry bout the ride." Her tone was lazy, but sweet. Her hand went to her pocket, fumbling with the tied bag. She wondered why he was still here. He had asked her if she was okay, that was all that most people did. "You don't have to stay. I'm a big girl, I can handle walking." Her shoulders went up and down in a quick shrug as she glanced over at him. His face drew her in. It was unordinary compared to others she had ran into, but without going into much thought she shook her head and looked out across the street.

[terance jayrod rowlf]

Terance shrugged. "I may as well." He drew in a soft breath, realized he hadn't fed in awhile. "I'm here, and it's quicker than walking. Besides, you can't go about trusting everyone you pass on the streets." He rubbed at his face. His own father for example. He had run after lighting him up, he hadn't seen him since.

After a moment, he offered a hand out. "Name's ah, Terance. I tend to go by TJ though." He shrugged.

[taaron "tk" marie kaler]

Taaron's eyes peered around the streets, her stomach grumbling. "Alright, if your so bent on giving me a ride.. just drop me off by some random food place." She mumbled, loud enough for him to here. She wasn't one for asking people or even accepting an offer of help from people. She found that if she was alone, no one could hurt her. And that's how she liked it. Of course, she wasn't completely anti-social, she did have friends. They just didn't know much about her, and she wasn't invovled with them much.

"Cutee." She drowned like a girl with a crush, a burst of giggling like a school girl following after. Tk looked down at his hand, extending hers out to reach. "You can call me Tk." She shook his head for a few moments, before letting go and standing to her fit. She adjusted the black skinny jeans the covered her legs. The jeans were matched with a plain red tank top and a leather jacket. "Soo..about that ride?" She questioned, her eyebrow lifting slightly as she glanced down at Tj before looking towards his hummer.
