[CLOSED] a song about marilyn monroe.

Aubri smiled over at him, then sat up, keeping her back to Xander. She read the bottle with little interest. "Sounds like a fucking crazy pill or something. Mother fuck. 'Do not take if pregnant. Do not take if breast feeding. Do not take if it's before six in the morning. Do not take if fuck you.'" She grumbled, putting one in her mouth and swallowing it with the water.

"I'm gonna break your little heart, show you to the door, sew yourself shut.." She sang quietly, setting them on the floor. She laid back down, putting her head in Xander's lap.

Xander chuckled. "Plenty of pill bottles sound like that," He murmured. "Believe me, I would know. I hate medication now." Being sick was one thing he preferred never to go back to. Devan had told him he wouldn't want to be mortal, that he shouldn't keep asking her because, while she couldn't really make him, if she touched him a certain way she ccould briefly give him that experience. And it required continuing with cancer again.

He stretched his wings, absently playing with her hair.

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

"But you weren't pregnant, were you?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "And not breast feeding, I hope. That would be weird." She wrinkled her nose, then closed her eyes, easing at his touch. She liked knowing there was someone who would play with her hair, someone who didn't mind her laying on them, someone who wasn't just a one night stand.

She moved a little closer, one of her arms going to his back. She traced her fingers slowly across the small of his back, looking up at him. "It's nice.. being able to lay naked in bed and know the person laying with you doesn't want you. You don't have to wonder if their eyes are wandering." She yawned, her fingers still moving slowly over his back.

"I sure hope not," He laughed, smiling down at her. He hummed softly, gazing at the pile of CDs and music on his desk, realizing he had never got around to trying to debut his music.
He bit his lip at her next comment. "Yeah..." He mumbled. "That's not why though. It's just..respect..I guess."

It was okay, right? She didn't want to be attracted was all..he had no reason either, he was supposed to be there to protect her, it was the only reason he was back.

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

'Respect? For a whore? That's ironic.' She thought, reaching up to run her fingers through her hair. She sat up again, pulling her shirt over her head before she walked to the bathroom. If it were just Sean, she probably wouldn't have bothered. But she knew Trez was there somewhere. And didn't want to run up on him. She washed off her face, stood there looking at her reflection for a moment.

"-...really are a whore." She mumbled, rubbing absently at her face. No wonder no one wanted her. 'I wouldn't want me either.' She thought right before she felt like all the energy had been drained from her. She walked back slowly to the bedroom, crawling into bed. She laid her head on the pillow, closing her eyes.

Xander watched her go silently, and come back. "Alex!"
He groaned. Only Sean ever called him by that, and usually only when he really needed him. He leaned down, kissing Bee's cheek before climbing from the bed, tucking his wings against his back as he padded out of the room.

Trez was on the floor in the kitchen, Sean staring down at him uneasily. His eyes were open and unseeing, chest heaving. Three in only around twelve hours... Xander thought brokenly, crouching.

Trez made a strangled sound and arched up before going into a full grand mal, and Xander made sure he wouldn't hit anything or bite his tongue too hard.

"Go keep Bee in there..." He murmured, sitting down and drawing Trez's head into his lap. "They happen a lot now, huh?"
Sean only nodded brokenly before slinking towards the room.

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

Bee hadn't moved at all from her place on the bed. She stared blankly at the wall, hearing them faintly in the living room. But everything seemed so far away. Even Sean coming in the room. There seemed to be a million miles between the bed and the door. She looked over at him, not sure if she liked the look on his face, but too numb to make anything of it.

"Why so glum?" She asked, sitting up carefully in the bed. She pulled the blankets over her waist, vaguely aware she had on only a shirt. She patted the bed beside her, forcing a smile even if she didn't feel like smiling. She didn't feel or think anything.

[alexander 'xan' manuel steele]

Xander huffed, gazing down at his thrashing brother. It wasn't passing at all. "Trez.." He mumbled in complaint, eyes flickering with worry. "Uhm...uh.."

Sean sat down, studying her face, and forced a smile. "Nothing, I'm fine." But he wasn't his usual exuberant self. "Meds are kicking in, huh? You'll adapt."

[aubri 'bee' ella-paige reed]

Aubri shrugged, reaching over to play with his hair. "I guess.." She mumbled, laying back on the bed. She closed her eyes, tracing her fingers up and down her stomach.

"Have you been to see Nash?" She asked, glancing over at him. She traced his face, but thought nothing about it. She associated him with her cousin. Like she associated Trez with his girlfriend. She wondered if Xander got a girlfriend, if she would associate him with her. "He texted me a few days ago about you. I don't remember what he said. I think something about his step dad paying to get his ears fixed or something.. Said he could hear you when he did or.. I dunno. Something along those lines."

[alexander 'xan' manuel steele]

Xander got up, realizing he had yet to buy a phone, and started searching for Trez's, knowing he didn't have a landline. He glanced over at Trez, stopping to stick a pillow under his brother's head.

Sean huffed. "Not in about a week. I should though, I love to see-"
"Sean!"
He looked up at the distraught voice, Xander stumbling in. "Phone," He choked. "Gimme your phone."

Sean held it out and he snatched it, ducking into the hall as he dialed.
