Too late... Alexxis shook her head. "No, no. It's not too late." At an attempt to cheer him up a little, or rather try too, she tilted her head backwards and looked up at his face, angling herself so that she could see it better through his curtain of hair. "Don't worry about it, Tj."
That's a long time..I don't think I'd be able to stick with something so long. I get bored too easily. Who taught you?
"My father, for the most part - actually, not really. The most he did was give me the bass gutair, show me the chords, then he left the rest up to me." Alexxis spoke clearly, more clearly than she had been doing a half hour ago. He was looking down at her and she was looking up at him, both were smiling somewhat. Alexxis liked this, it felt good.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Did you like moving around?
She giggled, deciding to tackle one question at a time. "First, I'm not sure if it's either, but then again; it could be either, or. Depending on which way you put it, to be honest." In all honesty, Alexxis wasn't too sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. "Second; not particularly. There was hardly any stability and we never stayed in one place for more than a year before moving off again and settling down somewhere new.. if you could call it settling down."
Although most people, as kids, would hate moving around so much, thats what Tj wanted a lot when he was little. He liked travelling, and he didn't think he'd have minded moving around. So you can't make friends; he didn't need friends when he was younger. He had his parents, and at the time, that had been enough.
True that she never had any stability in her life; which was probably the reasoning behind her awful behaviour and certain mannerisms that caught people's attention. Or didn't, as the case so very often was. Since Alexxis had had none of the stability, she had found that making friends was so very often hard as she was never there long enough to keep them. It perplexed her so much.
Tj had noticed her struggling to get her hair out of her face by shaking her hair; since she was too scared of letting go, for fear of falling and hurting herself. He pushed her hair back for her when she swung back, making her smile and blush. Blushing so much that she wished her hair went back into her face.
You don't have to do that. You don't need to make a big deal or anything. 'Cause it's not one. The brunette nodded, she understand. Birthday's weren't really that important. "Of course, birthday's are only significant in one thing - annoying the hell out of you by always telling you that you're one year older than what you were the day before your birthday."

    "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth?"[/color][/center] "No, no. It's not too late. Don't worry about it, Tj." She looked up at him through her hair, and he tried giving her a small smile.
"My father, for the most part - actually, not really. The most he did was give me the bass gutair, show me the chords, then he left the rest up to me."
Tj nodded, knowing what she meant. He was amazed at the change that had taken place in Alexxis; only half an hour ago she'd be so shy and softspoken, acting scared of Tj. He felt himself loosening up a lot too. It was so easy to talk to her, it was so easy to hold out a conversation. Of course, the alcohol might have been helping a bit, but did that really matter?
Tj noticed her giggle, and realized that he'd been asking a lot of questions, and he laughed too.
"First, I'm not sure if it's either, but then again; it could be either, or. Depending on which way you put it, to be honest. Second; not particularly. There was hardly any stability and we never stayed in one place for more than a year before moving off again and settling down somewhere new.. if you could call it settling down."
He nodded again, and wondered why she moved around so much, but he wasn't sure if it was something she'd want to talk about or not. He decided he'd have time to ask later on, and he didn't have to ask now, incase it upset her or anything.
"Are you staying here permanantly, do you think...?" [/b] He hoped that she would. He thought that she deserved to have some kind of stability; she was in a band here, she could probably stay here and be happy. Tj noticed Alexxis blush as he pushed the hair back from her face, and he also blushed, hoping that the moonlight wasn't bright enough for her to notice. "Of course, birthday's are only significant in one thing - annoying the hell out of you by always telling you that you're one year older than what you were the day before your birthday."Tj laughed. "Exactly, finally someone else who understands! All my family always thought I was nuts for not liking my birthday."[/b] He grinned down at her, showing his teeth this time; he rarely showed his teeth when smiling, unless he was completely comfortable and at ease.

Alexxis was beginning to really like talking with Tj; it sure did beat walking around and taking pictures of nothing in particular, on her own, in the middle of the night where she could get raped... or something worse than that. Secretly she was glad that she had bumped into him and that she had made a new friend in this town that didn't seem to like her very much at the moment.
Are you staying here permanently, do you think...?
That was a very good question. Alexxis liked to think that her father would decide to settle her on a permanent basis, but she was also so sure that her father would end up moving again because he couldn't settle in Fairview. Whatever happened though; she knew that her father would reconsider his decision if he saw how happy Alexxis was in Fairview. Then again... she wasn't so sure.
The brunette sighed as she replayed Tj's question over in her mind. "I hope so..." She said, being truthful as she swung forwards again on the swing. "It would be nice to stay in a place for more than a month." Alexxis swung backwards slowly and pursed her lips together.
When Tj blushed, Alexxis saw it. As she swung forwards again she smiled faintly. The way he had blushed had been utterly adorable, but she wasn't going to say anything about that to him, because he might end up blushing again and she wasn't sure that he'd want to do that.
Exactly, finally someone else who understands! All my family always thought I was nuts for not liking my birthday.
Tj grinned down at her, showing off all of his teeth and laughing. The seventeen year old felt herself doing the same as she went backwards, her head tilted backwards so that she could see him better. She felt comfortable and at ease now that she was with Tj; they'd talked, told each other a little bit about the other and explained a few things. Now they shared something in common!
"Haha, yeah. I guess the only reason why I don't really like the significance of birthday's is because of the fact that we moved around a lot." Alexxis shrugged and dug her heels into the soft, bouncy stuff on the floor underneath her swing; stopping herself from swinging anymore.
Turning around in the swing by placing her feet on top of the seat and standing up for a moment before she dropped back down on the seat gently, now looking at Tj. She smiled up at him and then opened her mouth to say something else.
"Hey, uh, before I forget, or fall asleep - whichever comes first, I'd just like to say thank you."

"How will I ever get out of this labyrinth?" [/color][/center] Tj shivered slightly. It was kind of chilly out, but he hadn't noticed before. He stuck his hands into the pockets of his jeans, trying to keep them warm. He wished he'd worn a hoodie or atleast a thicker t-shirt; his was practically falling apart. He hoped Alexxis was staying warm.
Tj noticed her contemplating his question, rolling it over in her mind. "I hope so...It would be nice to stay in a place for more than a month."
He nodded again. "I hope so too." he said, smiling. He really meant it, he did hope that she would stay here. So what if she was this random girl he'd only met in the park that night? He already cared about her, and knew he'd miss her if she was gone.
He still felt himself blushing, and realized her might have a crush on her. She was cute, she seemed cool. She wasn't his usual type; he usually went for the very loud party girls. He wasn't going to tell her, of course. He didn't like coming on too strong, and he had just met her. Plus, he wanted to be sure first. Then again, maybe he just wouldn't tell her at all...he'd never had a serious relationship before and he was kind of scared at the idea.
"Woahh, calm down. Serious relationship? You just met her."
"Haha, yeah. I guess the only reason why I don't really like the significance of birthday's is because of the fact that we moved around a lot."
He could guess how that felt; anytime she started making friends, she probably had to pack right up and leave, never having time to have an actual birthday party. "That must have sucked," he said, sympathetically. "I gave up on birthdays once I was about ten, and even before then I never made a big deal out of them. My parents stopped caring when I did, and my sister never cared. She doesn't even remember when my birthday is." [/b] His sister hated him ever since he'd come out to his family. She, like their mother, didn't get it at all. He wondered if it was just a female thing, since his dad didn't seem to care one way or the other. When Alexxis stood up on the seat to turn, he held out his arms to steady her in case she lost her balance. He saw her smile, and smiled back. She had such a beautiful smile, he could probably be dying and still smile if she did. "Hey, uh, before I forget, or fall asleep - whichever comes first, I'd just like to say thank you."Tj blushed again, cursing his face for betraying his emotion. Why did he have to blush so easily? "I should be thanking you. I was about ready to give up on this town and become a hermit."[note; quote from Simon Bolivar][/color][/size][/blockquote] |

I hope so too. Tj smiled at her, and by the way he was looking at her, Alexxis could tell that the male really meant it; which was nice. She smiled back at him and twitched her nose to one side, tilting her head upwards so that she could see his smile a little more. For some reason she felt that it would be nice to get a little closer to him, she liked him a lot. Alexxis didn't know if she'd be able to forget him if she ever had to leave - not that she'd forget him.
Tj had already made quite the impression on her. So much so that she thought of him a little differently to all the other people she'd ever met in her life. He was making her blush and smile a lot more than most of the other boys that she'd ever met - well, actually; Tj was the first boy that she'd ever let get this close to her, which was what made him a lot more special than he knew.
That must have sucked. I gave up on birthdays once I was about ten, and ever before then I never made a big deal out of them. My parents stopped caring when I did, and my sister never cared. She doesn't even remember when my birthday is.
Alexxis winced slightly; that didn't seem like a very nice thing to deal with at that age. She felt herself feeling a lot more sorry for him than she had earlier. Chewing on her lower lip, the brunette thought over his words, trying to think of what to say to him. "Siblings just trick you into believing that they love you, when they really don't." She mumbled. "I'm sorry about that, though; really, I am."
As she moved around on the swing, during her difficult manouvere; that could almost certainly end up with her getting hurt, Alexxis saw Tj's arms being held out. A faint smile crossed her face.
I should be thanking you. I was about ready to give up on this town and become a hermit.
Despite the seriousness of their conversation and the fact that Tj was blushing again (as she was smiling more), Alexxis couldn't help but let out a small giggle; clamping her hand over her mouth before it turned into a fit of laughter. After a moment she shook her head and composed herself. Locking her arms around the handles of the swing, Alexxis pulled the sleeves of her hooded jacket over her hands and looked up at Tj with a smile.
"I think you'd make a cute hermit." She whispered, tilting her head and squinting slightly. "I like you, Tj."

"C-A-P-S-I-Z-E all the way home, I'm gonna tell the wild." [/color][/center] "Siblings just trick you into believing that they love you, when they really don't. I'm sorry about that, though; really, I am."
Tj nodded. It was exactly true. Siblings could act perfectly nice to you for years and then turn on your for such tiny, insignificant things. And nobody would even bat their eyes at it because they gave it the name of 'sibling rivalry' and moved on. They thought siblings were supposed to fight and not talk to each other for a while. Usually though, sibling would make up and everything would be fine for a while. His parents seemed to ignore that part though, they still thought that his sister barely saying anything to him for years was perfectly normal.
He noticed her slight wince, though. He'd gotten used to his life, and he didn't want Alexxis feeling bad over his crappy family. "Nahh, it's okay. Don't worry about it. It's been years of this crap, and I'm over it by now." [/b] When Alexxis started laughing, he did his best not to start laughing as well, but he failed at that and began laughing along just as loudly. He actually laughed so hard that he wound up bent over in a fit of laughing. This happened everytime someone started laughing hard, he couldn't help but laugh along. That wasn't actually a problem, so he didn't mind. After a few moments he regained his composure, wiping his eyes. "I think you'd make a cute hermit."He managed not to start laughing again. He couldn't even imagine himself as a hermit. It was such a weird thought, because he loved being around people even if he wasn't really WITH them. But if he hadn't found Alexxis, he probably really wouldn't have gone out as much as he had when he lived in New York. "I like you, Tj."His heart started beating a lot faster, at speeds a humming bird would find amazing. He couldn't tell if she meant in a friend way or in a more-than-a-friend way, but in the way she was looking at him, he guessed the second one. But what was he supposed to do? Yeah, he liked her, but this kind of thing had a tendency of getting messed up when it came to Tj. He couldn't lie though, and just changing the subject would quite obviously not work. "I..like you too, Alexxis."

Alexxis, whenever someone told them about their lives and she found it horrible; she always ended up feeling slightly guilty about it for some reason; which usually resulted in her wincing a little. It was a natural reaction for her and some people found it weird, whilst others always ended up telling her that it wasn't her fault - therefore she should not feel guilty about it. Neither should she say that she's sorry for the life said person had. But she still couldn't help herself.
Nahh, it's okay. Don't worry about it. It's been years of this crap, and I'm over it by now.
The brunette nodded in response to that and brushed her hair behind her ear, tilting her head backwards so that it didn't fail; like the last time. A smile crossed her features for a brief moment. "Well, as long as you're over it." She mumbled quietly, not wanting to go further into it, because she knew that he obviously didn't want to talk anymore on the subject, which was definitely fine by her. She wouldn't want to talk anymore about her home life, at this point either.
The sound of his laughter filled her ears, causing her to smile slightly more than she had been earlier. It probably sounded strange, but Alexxis found the guy terribly attractive; though she'd only been with him for two hours, or less, at the most. She felt like she knew him - er, well; they had just been sharing their life stories, so that was a given, really. But.. well, she didn't know how to explain it, his laugh just made her want to laugh more and she was really beginning to dread the end of the night. Which would mean that the two of them would end up parting ways.
After telling Tj that she thought he'd make a cute hermit, Alexxis had to hide her face in her hair. It wasn't often that she told a person they were cute, or would make a cute something or another, so this was pretty new, meaning that she had embarassed herself. Already she could feel her cheeks beginning to flush - blood rushing to her cheeks, effectively making her blush. A site that she'd rather Tj didn't see.
I.. like you too, Alexxis.
Those words from Tj made her blush more; her heart beat raced and banged against her chest, thumping so hard against her rib cage she was sure that he'd be able to see it through her shirt. Not daring to look up at him, she kept her head down, hands in her hair; keeping it in front of her face.
