x cutoutkid (4:18:36 PM): -is in between strumming chords, hearing the sound and setting my guitar on its stand before i stick my head out into the hall- wha was tha'?
poisonbitterswt (4:19:04 PM): that would be me...*growls, kicking the table again*
x cutoutkid (4:19:48 PM): -steps out into the hall and walks down it, eyeing you- what are you doing that for?
poisonbitterswt (4:21:51 PM): kendall just called.....yer parents seemed to have figured out where you are....no thanks to my aunt....not that us all disappearing at the same time was inconspicuous....and you know what they said?!
x cutoutkid (4:22:30 PM): i...uh...-my breath catching in my throat as i feel a stab of worry- umm... w-what....did they say...?
poisonbitterswt (4:23:51 PM): they said i can keep you guys...wherever we are...if i pay them off
x cutoutkid (4:24:24 PM): -muttering under my breath- fucking figures...
poisonbitterswt (4:25:02 PM): *whispers, suddenly feeling emotionally tired* what do i do, cai...?
x cutoutkid (4:26:39 PM): do...do they want too much? -quietly, comeing over and sitting beside you-
poisonbitterswt (4:30:12 PM): that's not even the point, cai.....it's...it's the fact that my parents died to give me all this.....and because i take you away from a shitty life...yer parents feel like i owe them something....and what's to stop them from takin you back even if i give them the money *voice small and scared, feeling vulnerable*
x cutoutkid (4:32:37 PM): make them sign us over to you...-my voice dead serious, staring at you-
poisonbitterswt (4:37:26 PM): *looks at you* i can't be your guardian, cai...that would....then we couldn't be together.......*trails off for a moment* i
poisonbitterswt (4:37:34 PM): m more worried about them taking reese...
x cutoutkid (4:38:52 PM): they can take us both away, nix... if you don't... -swallowing- i mean... we... just because you'd be my guardian... it doesnt mean anything...
poisonbitterswt (4:40:47 PM): *glances at you* you don't understand, cai....if i'm your guardian....there can't be anything going on between us....nothing! i'd have people checking up on me constantly...and...*says quietly* we could never have anything later on....
x cutoutkid (4:42:23 PM): -leans over and kisses your cheek a little nervously, whispering- if you... if you don't... you might not see me again for a long time...-my voice is quiet- and... later... nix, you're my best friend... there's nothing wrong with... with me and you... guardian or not...
poisonbitterswt (4:56:00 PM): *peeks at you, tears in my eyes* i dont wanna lose you, cai....i couldn't bear that....i think...i think i'd die....*hangs head* but you just don't get it....*shakes head back and forth slowly*
x cutoutkid (4:57:14 PM): i...i get it...but nix...you can't ask them to let you take guardianship of reese when they could... id end up back with them again...
poisonbitterswt (5:03:51 PM): *brings hands up to my face* i know....i know....all right....goddamn*mutters* i didn't think it'd end up like this....guess i was living in a fairytale world...
x cutoutkid (5:06:33 PM): you're not... you're thinking about whats best for us... even if they [meaning authorities etc] can't see it... do you remember the time i broke my arm? do you know what the policeman said when i told them mum pushed me down the stairs? that i had an overactive imagination -bitterly- you know us better than anyone, phoenix... if... if taking guardianship of reese.... and not me... if it means we have a chance, i say we do it...
poisonbitterswt (5:07:36 PM): *lowers my hands* i need to talk to him about it first...it's his life too....
x cutoutkid (5:08:59 PM): i already know what he'll say, phoenix... do you really think he'd choose them over you? -quietly- you're one of the only people he can trust... he knows that...
poisonbitterswt (5:10:45 PM): yeah....maybe...but i still want him in on this....i want it out in the open...no secret shit behind his back
x cutoutkid (5:11:29 PM): do you...do you want me to go get him... i think he's in his room studying his history... said something about it being hard...
poisonbitterswt (5:11:59 PM): yeah....
x cutoutkid (5:13:38 PM): -touchs your leg softly, getting up from my seat and walking down the hallway quietly, peeking into reese's open door- Hey Reese... can you come into the front room for a minute.... -he nods and i walk back to you, sitting down close-
Reese: -shuts the history book with an annoyed sigh, leaving my room and sitting down in a chair across from you guys- whats going on? -curiously-
poisonbitterswt (5:19:39 PM): *bites my lip as i look at you* your parents figured out that we're all together....though i don't give them that much credit because we weren't so conspicuous about it....but anyway....that's besides the point....they said they'll let me keep you guys...wherever we are...if i pay them off...
poisonbitterswt (5:23:58 PM): and i....well....im scared they'll still try to take you back...even if i pay them.....somehow, ya know? so....well....i wanted to know....if maybe....you'd be okay...with...well...*fidgets, unbelievably nervous* me adopting you...?
x cutoutkid (5:24:54 PM): Reese: -smirks at you- anything to keep me away from them... besides, i think you'd make a better parent then they ever were...-quietly-
poisonbitterswt (5:25:34 PM): *looks at you again* are you sure...?
x cutoutkid (5:26:25 PM): Reese: yeah! i mean... why not... ?
poisonbitterswt (5:27:09 PM): i don't know....i just...didn't want to take it upon myself to tell them that....and not have talked to you first....because i want you to be happy....yours and cai's happiness means more to me than my own
poisonbitterswt (5:32:37 PM): *shrugs, cheeks tingeing red a bit, feeling weird being so sentimental* well...i'll call them....yeah....i'll call them....
x cutoutkid (5:34:19 PM): -slouchs down in my seat, my brother standing up and coming over to you, wrapping his arms around you in a hug-
poisonbitterswt (5:36:22 PM): *hugs him back, smiling a bit* well...i guess you've just got yourself another brother, huh? *laughs a little, tears still in the corners of my eyes*
x cutoutkid (5:38:44 PM): Reese: always thought you were anyways...-pulls back, looking at cai- will you help me later? with my terms.... i have this spelling test tommorow...
x cutoutkid (5:39:12 PM): -nods at him- come get me when you get to them, alright? -he smiles and turns, leaving us alone again-
poisonbitterswt (5:39:47 PM): *sighes and looks over at you* well....that part's done....now....*picks up the phone, making sure to screen our number and calling your parents*
x cutoutkid (5:40:34 PM): -swallows and leans my head against your shoulder, wanting to be close to you...worried...-
x cutoutkid (5:45:59 PM): (magdaline and oakes)
poisonbitterswt (5:46:04 PM): hello, magdaline....yes, it's me...*clenches jaw* don't curse at me, woman....
x cutoutkid (5:46:31 PM): -cringes a little, arm around your middle-
poisonbitterswt (5:48:23 PM): fine....they're both fine...as if you care....oh...yeah....because you were the world's greatest mother...i forgot you got that award...must've been behind all those empty liquor bottles *grits teeth*
x cutoutkid (5:49:07 PM): -hugs you a little tighter, fingers touching your skin beneath your shirt at you side, trying to keep you calm-
poisonbitterswt (5:49:50 PM): you know what im calling for....and i'll give you what you and oakes want....on one condition....i get to adopt reese......take it or leave it...
poisonbitterswt (5:51:19 PM): yeah....that's what i thought.....didn't take much, did it? *laughs bitterly* i'll get back to you when i talk to a lawyer *hangs up phone and lets out a frustrated sigh*
x cutoutkid (5:51:58 PM): did she...did she say yes?
poisonbitterswt (5:53:52 PM): of course she said yes...she wants the money, cai....you don't mean a damn thing to her...or him...*shakes head, upset, tears gliding over cheeks*
x cutoutkid (5:54:41 PM): i know that, phoenix...-moves to touch both sides of your faces, swiping tears from your cheeks- thats why i came here with you...
poisonbitterswt (5:55:42 PM): *closes eyes for a minute, and then looks deep into your eyes* they won't take you from me...i don't care what i have to do...i will keep you safe, cai
x cutoutkid (5:57:56 PM): i'd leave again...to somewhere else...anywhere...if they did...
poisonbitterswt (5:58:37 PM): *smiles softly at you, leaning forward and bringing my lips to your forehead* to the ends of the earth...anywhere....just as long as i got to be with you...*pulls you into my arms*
x cutoutkid (6:02:30 PM): -wraps arms loosely around you- besides... i'm not going to let this go... after i;ve just got it...

poisonbitterswt (6:07:10 PM): *glances down at you* that's a new one...*chuckles*
x cutoutkid (6:07:44 PM): something i thought up the other night...-smirks up at you and meets your eyes-
poisonbitterswt (6:08:23 PM): *grins down at you* well...as long as you are the only one that calls me that....and in complete privacy....i think im okay with it *eyes twinkle*
x cutoutkid (6:09:14 PM): can i do it in front of reese? -a puppy dog look in my eyes-
poisonbitterswt (6:09:32 PM): i don't know...he likes to tease a lot...
poisonbitterswt (6:13:32 PM): *pretends to be contemplating it* hmm.....i guess it's all right....
x cutoutkid (6:15:39 PM): -grins and nuzzles lips in the crook of your neck-
poisonbitterswt (6:17:33 PM): *holds you close, still afraid about what the next couple weeks will mean*
x cutoutkid (6:18:12 PM): we'll make it through this... we're already through the hardest part...getting away...-whispering, breathing in softly-
poisonbitterswt (6:19:38 PM): yeah...*nods head-pressing lips to your forehead* we'll be fine...
