❛     I  SPENT  NEARLY  TWO  MONTHS  earning  half  of  this.   ❜   slender  fingers  hold  up  a  rolled  -  up  wad  of  cash  before  sliding  it  across  the  table,  stopping  just  a  few  inches  from  where  her  sister  sat.    ❛    your  duct  taped  board  does  look  a  little  cool  and  badass,  but  it  won’t  be  once  it  splits  in  half.   time  to  for  a  new  one,  sis.   ❜    meg  smirks  smugly.   one  sibling  may  have  hindered  her  skateboarding,  but  luckily  there  was  another  to  keep  it  going.

board game and pieces are set on the table in the center of the room. the boys surrounding it, a classic game of dungeons and dragons has begun and she knows she’s already on mike’s side. she’s got limited knowledge of the game but willing to pay interest for the sake of the party. it’s an interest that is shattered with the sight of her.     max.      the newest member to their party, one that had arrived in her absence. one that she wasn’t incredibly fond of. though she was urged to try and engage, to try and conquer the anger and jealousy that had first sparked at that first sight of the red head.

eyes dart up from the table, straight in her direction.        “hello.”

           ‘ you     know,     i     assume     every     ginger     tabby     cat     is     named     max     because     of     you.        i’ve     gotten     looks     from     old     ladies     for     callin’     their     cats     max. ’

HE  FROWNS  UPON  spotting  max  running  up  the  drive  ,  his  stomach  doing  a  FLIP  in  fear  .  he  remembers  what  happened  last  time  max  was  with  him  .  he  remembers  how  bad  his  face  had  SCARRED  after  that  ,  he  was  reminded  every  time  he  looked  in  a  mirror  . 

shakes  his  head  ,  throws  the  FEAR  ASIDE  .  his  job  is  to  PROTECT  .  he  made  a  vow  ,  he  will  not  rest  until  he  is  sure  all  of  them  are  safe  .  that  includes  the  RANDOM  GIRL  .
