You're here again (Kirsty)

[Jack]

Jack sat on a bench in a random hallway of the school, waiting to have a words to his English teacher who was currently teaching in a Senior English class, Jack had his ear buds in listening to some classical music that Phoenix had given him while he attempted solving the puzzles on his I-pad another gift from Phoenix. It would seem that in the attempt to make Jack smarter he was in fact making him feel a lot dumber. Jack sighed as he completed level 10 there were 100 puzzles on this version of the game with other 3,000 puzzles on the I Pad. Jack had a long way to go before he could be up there with people like Gabriel and Phoenix. Jack would sigh as he began working out the next puzzle, these were more mechanical then the other ones so he understood them a lot easier. A personal like Jack was exceptionally gifted with a logical mind and extremely good technical hands. Things that made him good at other aspects of his life equally made him an outcast or a freak in others.

Jack was hoping that something of interest would pop up out of nowhere, he was getting awfully bored these days, ever since the removal of his pillar title he found it hard to be motivated within these walls. It was as if his presence in these halls no longer had a meaning to him or to those around him. It was as if school was taking away from his training, taking away from his learning. Instead of giving to him school was taking from him. Jack sighed as he completed the eleventh puzzle starting on his twelfth.

I really do hope something interesting happens or I’m going to blow my brains out or worse someone else

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Okies, so I need eggs, Bedhead hair gel, ketchup... Do I need peanut butter? No, but I DO need

In the downtime between classes, Kirsty knew that she had to go through her shopping list, it had been several days since she'd been shopping and she knew that her supplies were running low. Being the type of person she knew she'd turned into, she had been avoiding returning to the store. But now she had to.

She had been in the middle of planning out a way of sneaking into the store, getting her items and leaving before the manager even knew she was there. However she knew that she wasn't quiet so lucky. When someone caught her gaze, her bright blue eyes widened and remained firmly attached to the man sitting on the bench she had occupied that morning.

"Shit..." Kirsty's voice quivered as she stopped dead in her tracks, her biker boots releasing a squeak of protest as they slid on the cool, pale ground. Her plan had been to sneak away as fast as she possibly could. But instead of moving her away, her feet began to take her in the direction of the one person she'd never expected to see again.

[Jack]

As Jack went through his puzzles his paranoia kicked in, feeling as if someone was looking at him, he decided to quickly glance around the room with his eyes. They scanned over the immediate area looking a punk girl taking no real notice of her, before they instantly diverted back. Could it be? nah hell no satisfied that no one one was looking at him funny he totally missed the bit where Kirsty stopped dead in her track and recognized him.

As she walked toward him again that paranoia kicked in once more, quick glance around the room, the punk girl was moving in his direction. He stared at her, getting his fill of eye candy. She must have noticed him because as she moved toward him her eyes locked onto his. quick evasive maneuver Jack's hands dived for his pocket pulling out his I pod he switched songs and turned the volume up. Pretending to be intent on his puzzle, when she stopped in front of him, his eyes followed her clothes from toe to head, starring up at her face, he looked at her wide eyed and stunned.

"Fuck me..."

Jack would splutter out in astonishment.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

"Jack..." Kirsty whispered to herself, swallowing the lump in her throat as she brushed her black locks out of her face. The boy that sat before her was one she knew well, she scuffed the floor with her boots and realised she couldn't take her eyes away from him.

He didn't look much different, he was sitting down but she could easily tell that he was taller, it may not have been by much but she could see it. She couldn't move, couldn't breathe, it was as if she was hypnotised.

You have got to be kidding...

She cleared her throat then turned away, taking a deep breath, willing herself to walk away. But she couldn't, she couldn't leave, she couldn't let herself leave.

[Jack]

"Jack..." Kirsty whispered just loud enough for the Australian to hear, she brushed those blacks locks out of her face, she had grown up, no she had grown even more beautiful. She wasn't moving, she just stared at him her eyes locked with his.

Jack stood there hypnotized by her stare, his stomach in twists and turns. As if he were going to implode on himself, he stood up his I-Pad falling off his lap.

"K...Kirsty"

She cleared her throat before turning away, but she didn't move. Jack took a step forward his body only inches from hers. He towered over her blocking the light out, his right hand slowly move up brushing her thigh, finding her hand.

"Don't go."

[Kirsty Pattinson]

The second Jack's hand touched hers, it felt like she'd been electrocuted, her entire body was filled with shockwaves. She felt herself shaking as she heard his familiar accent, one accent she knew all too well.

Don't go...

His words resounded in her mind, they may have been the simplest of words but coming from him they were the most haunting of words. She turned to face him, her eyes sparkling with the few tears that threatened to escape.

"Hi Jack."

Her voice was wavering, Kirsty could hear it, she knew that she wouldn't cry, her self control was much stronger than that. She wouldn't allow herself to return to the emotional wreck that she had once been.

Oh god... What do I do...?

[Jack]

AS his hand touched hers, he felt that familiar warmth that was associated to her touch. His hand wrapped around hers, his vice like grip careful not to hurt her. The way he held her hand it was as if he were a little child holding his mother's you never wanted to let go. He felt the shivers run through her body it was as if it were a chain reaction passing own her whole body and into his. His own words echoed through his head, everything was shutting out of his mind it was as if they were completely alone, it felt good. When she turned to face him, his keen eyes couldn't help but take in her eyes, they were beautiful icy blue sparkling eyes. Tears threatening to escape at the corners of her eyes, this only made him smile a warm and genuine smile.

"Hi Jack."

He heard her voice waver, his facial expressions softened, *nawwwww* Jack's hand would leav her hand tracing up her arm to her cheeck, resting his hand on her left cheek cupping it. His thumb would find that lone tear brushing it away with a grin he would turn his head to the side looking down at Kirsty.

"You've grown even more beautiful"

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty's eyes averted to the ground, in her head all she could see was his face, just when she'd managed to stop thinking about him again. Her life was turned upside down. She took in a deep breath to steady herself then sat down before she found herself falling down.

"You got taller..."

Looking back up at him, the left-hand corner of her mouth lifted. True he'd matured, he looked older that was for sure, but in her eyes he'd always had a flawless beauty about him. Swallowing she bit her lip, wiping any remaining tears from her face.

She was scared, that much was true, but she was oddly consoled by Jack's prescence. He'd been the first person she'd ever truly cared about and that had followed her through until this moment. And as this man stood in front of her, she realised that she couldn't forget him.

Not now. Not ever..

[Jack]

OOC: I'm not sure if she actually sat down or not.

"You got taller..."

"Only just"

Jack would smile as he held her cheek in his right hand wiping away that tear, chuckling to himself as he did so. Kirsty was always the sweet girl with that evil side, that's the one thing that made hr so special to him. Before long he let her go, allowing her to go on to wipe the remaining tears from her face. When she was done Jack's hand would find her own, holding her in a strong grip. He would look down at her, his huge figure towering over hers. In comparison Kirsty was dwarfed by Jack, who towered over most people.

Jack would take her hands, leading her down to the bench he would sit there with her in silence, he couldn't believe his eyes. Was she real or was he just having another drug induced trip.

"Wh...Where have you been all these years?"

Jack would ask, making reference to her departure from #552 for what he thought was forever, before shortly later he left himself.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty glanced down, unsure of what to tell him, the truth was she'd been all over the place. She'd spent some time in L.A., Tennesse, Vancouver and various other places. Too many to mention... And too many men...

"I've been... Around. Here, there."

Her voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes making their way back up to Jack's face, the face that she remembered so well. But that's all he was now, a memory. A faint image of what he was. Time had withered that image, it was like a worn old photograph.

"What about you? Where have you been?"

Kirsty couldn't remember the last time she saw him, it was so long ago, her memory was weary from trying to remember. She knew one thing, her feelings for him had most certainly changed. She remembered the way she was the last time they saw each other.

I am never going back to that... I can't.

[Jack]

Jack listened as her trembling voice spoke out those little words, heh same Kirsty he thought to himself.Of course she had changed and to what extent he'd never know or well not until he got to know her again. Mind you the thought of Jack being a faint memory didn't bother him but that two years had made him nothing more then a faint photograph O.o He's not THAT OLD!

"I've been... Around. Here, there."

"Hehe, same old you aye?"

Jack would chuckle, such a Kirsty Pattinson answer, Jack played with his tongue piercing sticking the stud out at Kirsty and he chuckled.

"What about you? Where have you been?"

"Gee... you want the full story?"

Jack would ask, just to make sure. Chuckling again as he rubbed the back of his head with his right hand.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

"Well, if you spare me the horny details then yeah."

Kirsty let out a mischievous giggle. She knew Jack well enough to know that he'd have had a various number of girls since the last time she saw him. That was just the type of person Jack was... she wasn't implying that he was a serial dater... or sexer as the case may be. She was just certain that she had been another of his conquests.

Maybe that's all I'll ever be...

The thought of it didn't upset her as much as it would have done two years ago, she knew better than to become attached to him now. Jack was a party man, pure and simple, he lived for the moment. This was something she knew very well. In fact, she'd almost experienced it first hand.

She shivered as she remembered that night back in his place, it seemed like a lifetime ago now, the way his hands had glided over her skin... She bumped back down to earth, her expression one of distaste as she remembered. She took her hand out of Jack's grasp and placed it on her lap, she couldn't ever tell him the truth... The real reason she'd left 552.

Not ever.

Kirsty's jaw tightened as she looked away from him, her expression firm. She knew she was being cold, but it was the best way. It would be safer. She knew that and hopefully he wouldn't be too annoyed by it. Although she didn't see why he would be. Their... whatever it had been was long gone, a fair distance from where they sat right now, she had been just a memory to him and that's what she would remain.

[Jack]

OOC: Open for anyone btw...

IC:

"Well, if you spare me the horny details then yeah."

Jack would chuckle, she knew him too well. When Kirsty stopped giggling Jack would cross his right leg over his left and think about his time from #552 to #774.

"Well shortly after you vanished for a bit, I decided to leave #552. I went to Europe for a bit saw some family back to Australia and then I decided to leave New York. My best friend Phoenix was finishing his high school year back in New York before he decided to join me.

Since then well I've opened a few businesses primarily my garage which is doing quite well. I barely even have to run it down there I really only go down there for my own cars. Um yeah I just bought a nice apartment in Colorado so things are looking up."

Jack would say with a chuckle, he noticed Kirsty's rapid change in character, rising his right eyebrow in confusion as she turned away from him.

"Oh did I do something to upset you?"

Jack would say casually as he continued to look at her.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

"Oh did I do something to upset you?"

"Huh? Oh. No." Kirsty blinked, leaning back in her seat and folding her arms. Her eyes focused on something, anything other than the man that sat next to her, her memories of him disappearing with each passing moment.

Don't do it!

Don't do what?

Enough of the innocent act. Don't you DARE fall for his charms!

Rolling her eyes, Kirsty ignored the voice that spoke to her, she knew that she would never do that again. Jack was in the past, he may have been her friend but that's all she'd ever think of him as.

At least she hoped.

Don't bet on it! You know he's hot!

"He is NOT!" Her eyes widened and she clamped her mouth shut as she looked at him. Chewing her bottom lip she smiled slightly, trying desperately to hide the fact that she was talking to herself.

Nice going genius....

Fuck...
