we aren't going to live forever 'open

[Sienna Holland]

It wasn’t usual for Sienna to not have been at school on a Friday afternoon. Today she’d been though. The brunette had slept in until non before finally deciding to drag herself off to school. This had been a bad idea. Math’s and Chemistry were possibly the worst subjects invented and Sienna had spent the two classes throwing things at the back of her teachers head. But now it was the end of the day and she was finally free. Of course in this town, free didn’t mean a lot. As far as Sienna could see, unless you were cheerleader or some sort of idiotic prep there wasn’t anything to do. Her afternoon’s normally consisted of helping her dad out in his shop. Today was different though, she didn’t want to go home. Pulling her leather jacket in closer around her thin frame, the brunette shivered. For a while now she’d just been wandering the town looking for any opportunity to cause trouble or some form of entertainment. Sadly it never came. Sighing Sienna pushed back her curls and dropped her head, avoiding the wind.

There was only one thing to do on a day like today, only one place she could possibly go. The graveyard. Her dislike for people made this one of her favorite places in the god forsaken town. Mourners came, but that was it. She could do as she pleased and no one would comment. Sienna pulled herself up onto one of the larger graves; it was marble and just tall enough for her to be able to sit on without her feet touching the ground. Then again with her size, that wasn’t a particularly hard feat. Pulling out a lighter and a cigarette pocket from the back of her jeans, Sienna flipped the packet open and placed a smoke delicately between her lips before she lit it up. Inhaling the smoke she sighed, throwing her head back. Nicotine was always the perfect cure for a less then wonderful day. The sun was only just starting to set, which meant she still had a few hours before curfew. As tough as Sienna acted, she respected her fathers wishes for her not to be out to late.

Bringing her legs onto the tomb, Sienna took another drag of her smoke. She knew it was bad for her, all the more reason to continue doing so. In just a few years she could leave this town for good, there would be few people she would miss. Although a particular name came to mind. Shaking her head she took one last drag of the smoke before putting it out on the marble. Sienna was sure the dead wouldn’t mind, after she was keeping them company, was she not?

[Theo Spencer]

Today was a day in which Theo couldn't really forget. It was his mother's birthday. He had toyed with the idea of skiving school, but he knew for a fact, had his mother been alive she'd have scolded him for it. If there was one thing she really believed in, it was a good education. He couldn't deprive her of that today. Mostly he done as he pleased and went against what his parents would have wanted of him, but today he almost felt bound by their wishes calling him from the grave. His day at school had been uneventful. He had cancelled his after school tuition lesson with Libbi, and gave his valid excuse to miss practice- something that he rarely did. Setting off on foot, wearing his canvas white's, jeans and a polo shirt he made his was to the graveyard.

It was a place he avoided if he could, and he figured that as long as he went on special occassions his parents wouldn't mind. A bunch of red roses clad in his right hand, he walked through the iron gates. His stomach weighted by a guilty uneasy feeling that could only resemble hestitation. His sister would have been here with him, looking out for him and paying her respects, but it was parents evening at the school she worked in, and so she'd made it at lunch time. His blue eyes searched for the winding dirt road leading to his parents marble headstone, finding it instantly as if drawn to it by an unexplainable force. He reached the gravestone sighing, he knelt down and stared silently. Noting the white roses already in situ, adding his flowers to the grave. He stayed still for a while, staring at the grave before closing his eyes and bowing his head; his hands searching for his head as he exhaled deeply. He didn't let his parents death effect him often, but coming to the grave was difficult for him to do. He could only hope that he'd made his parents proud. For there was nothing else he could do. He sat for a while before standing up, slowly walking away from the grave; his eyes casting shadows onto the words in place.

Deciding to walk out of the bottom gate, his keen eyes spotted a familiar figure sat comfortably smoking on a tombstone. Sienna. She was pretty much his favourite person in most aspects of everything, but she was also his ex girlfriend. He shook his head a light smile on his lips as he watched her unbeknown stubbing out the cigarette. He approached her in almost silence from the side angle at her back, dipping his head close to her ear he whispered; "Hello Stranger." Before moving round toward her and standing in front of her. "You know you shouldn't smoke." He stated playfully, a warm smile on his lips. It was something he hated, smoking, he was health conscious, but when he was with Sienna, she brought out a rebellious side to him. They'd argued many times in the past about her habit, but he'd learned to accept it. It was part of who she was.

[Sienna Holland]

Considering the weather, Sienna was annoyed as the wind whipped her hair into her face. Grunting she pushed it away, wrapping her jacket closer around her. It always seemed colder in the graveyard. Colder, more alone, maybe that was why she enjoyed it so much. People were always trying to suffocate her in the outside world, even her father who loved her despite all her faults. Occasionally she liked to think her mother might be here, rotting six feet under like she deserved. It was a little bit morbid that the thought of her own mother dead made her happy, but still. As the brunette took the final drag from her smoke, she held it in until she felt as if she was going to burst. The noise of people walking around the graveyard was limited but sort of comforting to know she wasn’t completly here by herself. As the cigarette butt was stubbed out on the tombstone, she peered down and checked the name. If Mary Johson had a problem with defacing public property or public littering she could take it up with Sienna in heaven. A voice behind her started the girl for a second and her heartbeat faster for a moment. There were rumors about some sort of mass murder around these parts, but Sienna didn’t believe them. Stupid that it was the first thought that came to mind.

As soon as the thought had come, it disappeared. She knew that voice. A smirk fell over her pink lips. “Hey yourself”. Sienna didn’t move and she wasn’t about to, Theo would come to her. She already knew that. As his shape came into view from her peripheral vision she licked her bottom lip playfully, watching until he stopped in front of her .Letting out a brief laugh as he commented on her smoking habit she shrugged. Smoking had been something they’d fought about a lot when they were together, in fact Sienna had tried to quit for a little while just to make him happy, but then they’d had another fight and that idea went straight out the window ”You know you shouldn’t sneak up on people in a grave yard” crossed her arms she raised an eye brow at him. Theo should have been just as awear as she was about the rumors flying around this ridiculous little town. ”You don’t know who could turn around and smack you in the face” things were easier with Theo then they should have been. After the rather messy break up they’d had, Sienna had become more reclusive then ever and made it her personal mission to get in as much trouble as possible. Most of the police knew her by name now.

“You here to visit your parents?” she asked bluntly. Sienna did care, she understood Theo was closer to his parents then she’d ever been to her mother but being all sympathetic and showing concern wasn’t Sienna at all. She treated things, well basically like a man. Seeing him again bought all her old feelings to the surface. Despite trying to forget him and even with the knowledge that half the female population of the town wanted him, part of her still loved him. A very large part although she’d never admit this out loud. If the offer to get back together ever came up, she’d probably take it, but he wasn’t the kind of person to ask that. Things would just have to stay as they were. ”I didn’t see you at school today” the fact they ran with completely different crowds was besides the point. ”Are you proud of me? I actually went for… part of today.” she teased, giving him a playful wink. Things were much too easy with him. Sienna was going to have to be on her best behavior.

[Theo Spencer]

Theo smirked as she appeared startled, he hadn’t meant to scare her, but then again most people were scared pretty easily when they were sitting alone in a graveyard. A warm smile spread across his face as she responded unmoving. Her smile was still as beautiful as it had ever been, even with a vile cigarette pursed between her lips. He’d given up on trying to convince her to stop smoking, a long long time ago. It really was a dirty habit and it made him sick; of course he’d tried it once or twice while he was with Sienna, mainly so he could figure out why she did it, to see her side of the story. He’d hated it, but that didn’t stop him from wanting Sienna. Even the taste of her kiss was often tainted by the stale smell of cigarettes; but it was almost as though he had been addicted; He just hadn’t realised until it was way too late. ”I guess not, but it wasn’t like its something I do all the time; just with you.” He smirked as she raised her eyebrow; she had such distinguished eyes, it was easy to be playful with her. He shrugged his shoulders and sighed, ”Yeah I guess. But you know as well as I do that you know my voice, so if you’d hit me, it had been on purpose.” He explained cocking an eyebrow at her. He wouldn’t put it past Sienna to pull something like that, after all she had been getting in a lot of trouble more often than not.

He heard her question and nodded slightly, ”Yeah, its my mom’s birthday.” He stated his voice sollum and straight. He knew she knew he hated coming to the graveyard, and only came when he had to. There was something unconvincingly difficult about being here, and doing what was needed to be done. ”What are you doing here?” He asked curiously glancing around, his blue eyes pausing as he seen a family at a gravestone, two young children crying holding small bunches of flowers. He pursed his lips and narrowed his brow as he pulled his vision away from them, unable to stop himself recalling the not so distant memories of identifying his parents bodies. He shuddered before turning his attention back to Sienna. ”I was at school, I wasn’t really my usual loud self.” He admitted. Theo was always clowning around at school. He was the star player of the football team and he was always laughing and joking or flirting around campus, but today was different. He’d been quite quiet, he had too much on his mind to really consider even pretending to be normal. He cocked an eyebrow a grin on his face as she admitted she’d actually gone to school, ”Woah, you turning over a new leaf?” He asked jokingly.

Their relationship was so much easier than it had ever been. When they were together, their relationship was full of war and sex, but now they could actually be friends. It wasn’t like he didn’t think she was attractive or anything, because he did. He still cared about her, much more than she knew, but they hadn’t worked, and it had taken them a lot to get where they were now. Friends. Just friends. Of course he wanted more, and it was probably clear to those who looked carefully, just by the way he looked at her. But he would never tell Sienna, he was far too stubborn and far too cautious to give it a try. ”John said he seen you out not too long ago; said it looked like you were on a date or something.” he shrugged his shoulders explaining what his friend has told him, he acted like he wasn’t bothered, but a tinge of jealousy hung in the bottom of his stomach. Of course he’d try and be happy for her, if she was happy with someone else.

[Sienna Holland]

It was rare for Sienna to let on when she’d been startled or upset to he should have felt fairly proud of himself. Although it was a cheap shot, catching her off guard. She couldn’t help but return him smile. It was brilliant, catching. For all the fault’s they’d had when they were together Sienna had to admit Theo was a pretty amazing guy, she’d been hesitant at first. He was obviously attractive and he knew it . He had almost all of the female population eating out of the palm of his hand. Plus he was a jock and they were normally just egotistical bastards. However Theo had been different. He’d show Sienna a softer side and she appreciated it, even if she didn’t particularly have one to show back. The couple of times Theo had asked to try smoking, she’d tried not to laugh as he’d coughed and spluttered the smoke .It was an acquired taste, something you had to get used to. Although she’d tried to be courteous and smoke less around him Sienna was well awear she always smelt like it. Laughing as he spoke she shook her head “Should I feel special and bat my eye lashes like on of your fan girls. Just because you took the time to try and scare little old me?” Of course she was only teasing him, if it had been anyone else. She’d never have gotten away with a comment like that. Nodding she grinned at him, wickedly. “You know it. I can’t help being abusive it’s just part of my nature” Sienna wasn’t afraid to get rough or physical. That was a known fact.

As he spoke she slipped off the tombstone, letting her feet hit the ground. In a few brief steps she’d curled herself into Theo and wrapped her thin arms around her him, that was about as comforting as Sienna was going to get. “Tell her I said Happy birthday, if you find the time” she wasn’t good with relatives, dead or alive. After a moment she pulled back. But it felt son. Much too soon. Sienna for all her grunt and brawn act was tiny. She was only 5’1 and compared to Theo looked like a stick. But the shape of her body molded to his nicely. Shrugged she crossed her arms “Dead people aren’t as annoying as the live ones, they don’t chatter and they don’t judge. I come here to just chill out and think” maybe it was a little bit morbid. Then again she’d never claimed to be normal. Following his gaze and stared at the two children and felt a pang of sympathy for them. If she lost her father, Sienna knew she’d be shattered but it wasn’t something she was even about to consider. The Brunette nodded. She might not have been very good with her words but she understood and showed it in her silence. Most people as far as she was awear didn’t know about the actual date of Theo’s parents death, sure people knew and when we was quiet most people knew to stay away. That was generally when she’d approach him. Although today she hadn’t been able to find him. “Bet your friends loved that” sarcastically spoken. It was no hidden fact, Sienna’s dislike for the jocks that was.


Shaking her head she smirked. “Hardly, I decided to try and behave for at least half a day. Bad idea. Math’s and Chemistry” screwing up her nose at the end of her little spiel she lent back against the grave behind her, watching him. She couldn’t help but wonder. Why were things so much smoother between them now? Jealousy was still a big issue for her . People always talked about what he’d been up to at the ‘clubs’ when she, unfortunately, just happened to be walking by. It was something she hated. Hearing about what other girls he’d been with, who he was seeing or meant to be seeing. In Sienna’s mind none of them were worthy of him. None of them matched him. Maybe that was just her wishful thinking. It was moment like this, when they were alone it was most tempting to say something. To ask him if he missed them, not the fighting, but them. For two completely different people they’d always had an understanding. However there hadn’t ever been much trust. Snapping out of her little daze as he asked her a question she frowned. “Your friends enjoy rumors” it was a blunt statement “You should know me better then that. There’s no one in this stupid town that grabs me fancy” she wanted to add except you to the end of that statement. But it seemed far to cheesy, and Sienna didn’t do cheesy. Kicking her shoe into the dirt absent mindedly she looked down asking a questions he wasn’t sure she wanted the answer to. ”What about you, are you seeing anyone new? Did one of the preps finally get their claws into you?it was easier for her to joke about. Secretly though her stomachs was in knots, partly out of fear that he would be and she’d finally have to move on partly out of curiosity. She missed Theo, more then she was willing to let on.

[Theo Spencer]

Theo would have made a bigger deal out of startling her, had he been more himself. But today he wasn’t, he was a little off, and considering the circumstances it was probably understandable. He laughed as she made fun of him. He didn’t really think he had fan girls as such. Yes, he knew he was popular with the girls, but most of them were only after one thing, and the others probably only wanted to be with him because he was the star player of the team. He guessed it was a popularity thing, but in reality it was probably more than that, but Theo, like most men, wasn’t intuitive enough to read the obvious signs. ”Fan girls? I haven’t got any fan girls unless you founded a club that you haven’t told me about.” He smirked, it was easy to tease Sienna, and he enjoyed doing it. He knew she got jealous a whole lot, at least she had done when they were together, but up until the final disastrous event, he’d barely even noticed another girl while he’d been with her. True he did get a lot of attention after games, but at the time, she’d been all he’d needed, and he’d been proud that she was his. ”Batting your eyelashes would be nice though. It makes you look cute and innocent.” He smirked, shaking his head, almost pleased by the dig he got in. He raised his eyebrows playfully and nodded, ”Yep. We both know that.” He agreed, but that was one of the reasons he loved her. He was attracted to beautiful girls, yes, but he loved a girl who was difficult to get, and had an attitude. There was nothing more of a turn on than a girl who was opinionated and rebellious, and for him, Sienna ticked all the boxes.

Before he could really respond his ex had wrapped her fragile arms around him. He returned the hug, his muscular arms holding her firmly against his chest. ”Thanks.” He whispered, wanting to keep her there forever. He took a deep breath and took in her smell, before letting her go as she pulled away. ”You smell different.” He stated, not sure really whether she’d changed her perfume or her cigarettes, ”You smell nice.” He added a smile on his face just letting her know he wasn’t really insulting her. With Sienna he’d learnt to put up with a lot of things he would usually walk away from, but she became difficult to say no to. He’d pretty much have done anything for her, and he was sure if she asked him for anything now, then he’d probably do it anyway. He cocked an eyebrow and tilted his head, pushing his hands into the pockets of his jeans. ”You’re the oddest person I ever met.” He laughed slightly, ”Not many people come and hang out on tombstones.” He smiled lightly. She looked really beautiful, and her smile screamed of the mischief she caused. ”They just kinda left me to it.” He ignored her sarcasm, knowing that he was probably the exception to the rule of her hating jocks.

He guessed it was a one off, and he shook his head in mock disappointment. ”That’s a shame. You went in for the worst lessons possible.” He sighed, ”Math is the worst!” He exclaimed, knowing she knew his feelings for the pointless subject. He knew how to count and add and do the basic stuff, but he couldn’t see the point of having to learn algebra and trigonometry because what value did they have in the real world? When did you use them? He nodded as she implied that what John had said was a rumour. He hoped it was because there was nothing worse than hearing who his ex was with, or hearing guys talk about her in the locker room. It made him feel sick. It wasn’t like that with anyone else, but there was nothing he could do about it. ”Oh… yeah, but I just figured that maybe you were just I dunno, with some guy in the club. It didn’t mean you were dating him right?” He tried to cover up his indecision. He’d heard stuff about her, and he doubted that she wasn’t somewhat involved with someone in the town, but he was glad she was denying it to his face. He shrugged his shoulders as she asked him a question he really didn’t feel comfortable answering. Did anyone like talking to their ex about new possible partners? ”Nope. I’m single. Just been trying to help some friends find dates. Like this girl, Libbi, she’s my flat mate, she wants a boyfriend. So she’s given me the task of finding her one.” he explained, it wasn’t far from the truth although he had had a few one night stands but he wasn’t going to admit that to Sienna. ”You should know me, I don’t really like preppy girls. My new flat mate, Ashley; she’s a prep. She keeps flaunting herself around the flat, and overly flirting… but I’m not really into screwing flat mates, or preps so its all for nothing.” He explained smirking slightly.

[Sienna Holland]

It was obvious Theo wasn’t feeling like himself. His usual boisterous nature seemed to be sedated right now and part of her felt bad, seeing him like this. As a rule he was generally a cheerful person which had always balanced out her moodiness. In most ways he was her complete opposite maybe that was why she was so attracted to him and also why the relationship had been a complete and utter disaster. Sienna liked to think she understood him and how he worked a little better then the other girls at school. On the days she decided to turn up, the brunette watched him occasionally as he interacted with other girls. It still made her jealous to see those girls flirting with him, but what could she do about it now? Rolling her eyes at him Sienna smirked, of course he was joking just like she was, however it wouldn’t surprise her if he did have a fan club. “Yeah actually I did and I need you to come pose next week for the monument I’m putting up in your honor” she said sarcastically flipping her hair over her shoulder, just like the preppy girls did. Apparently it was a good way to flirt with guys. She preferred to use her wit. Theo had always seemed to be a fan of her brains, her body as well but mainly her quick answers and even at times, her sarcastic attitude. Screwing her face up as he commented about batting her eyes Sienna shook her head, her wavy hair bouncing as she did so. “When the hell have I ever been cute or innocent?” it was true Sienna’s looks were misleading, she did in fact have a certain childlike innocence about her. It was false though. Smirking she stuck her tongue out at him playfully. “You know you liked it rough”

Being in his arms was comforting. It was a place Sienna knew well, somewhere that meant safety. Only she didn’t have the rights to that safety anymore. Still, as he embraced her, she lent her head on his chest briefly breathing in deeply. He was still the same old Theo. Everything about him was familiar and to was so easy to think back to when they were together. That was possibly the only time she’d felt secure in the entirety of her life. Tilting her head to the side as he commented on her smelly different, Sienna picked up a lose curl and sniffed it. Smelled like her usual shampoo. Uhh, thank you I think” she paused for a moment before she broke into a grin “You smell pretty okay yourself” she was only teasing him. As much as the brunette would hate to admit it, part of her, probably a very large part of her was still in love with Theo. That wasn’t something she was willing to show him. The whole time they’d been together she may have said the words’ I love you’ all of three times .Sienna was, when she wanted to be an affectionate person, dealing with the mushy stuff, the feelings wasn’t so much her style. Words just ruined everything in her opinion. Shrugging she pointed to the tomb she’d been leaning against “She won’t talk back or be a bitch if I complain to her” grinning wickedly at him “She won’t flip her hair or try to steal any future men off me either. Dead people are just less…judgmental her dislike for most people was not a hidden fact. Actually Sienna made it very clear when she didn’t like someone. The way she’d treated Theo when she’d first met him was appalling but she didn’t regret it.

Nodding she frowned before shrugging “I have no idea what the timetable is. I was just trying to behave for once .I suppose no good deed goes unpunished” it was true, every time she’d tried to behave something had gone wrong. Breaking the rules seemed just as natural as breathing now. Slipping her hands into the back pockets of her jeans she listened to him babble for a little while, it was sort of cute. “Theo…” she started trying to suppress a laugh “Since when do I go to clubs to talk to boys? raising and eye brown at him Sienna bought a hand around and bit down on one of her fingers gently watching him, letting the question sink in. “I’m not… one of those girls. I go to clubs to get drunk. If you friend saw me with a guy… I was probably telling him to Fuck off” it still amazed her that he seemed to think she slept around. The brunette wasn’t going to lie, she liked sex. Then again so did most other people. But she liked sex with meaning, being with someone just for the sake of it wasn’t something she did regularly. Apparently that had slipped his memory. Hell, she’d made him wait to sleep with her. Part of that was just to see if he was messing around with her. Sienna had always been weary of the jocks. To her knowledge most of them were ass holes and at first she’d assumed Theo would be the same. But he was different, he had a softer side. Even after everything that went wrong, she’d never regretted being with him. Although she wasn’t awear of what people at school said about her. In fact she tried not to pay to much attention.

The petite girl watched him wide eyed with her baby blues as he spoke. For once she didn’t butt in and listened until he finished speaking. “Your friend shouldn’t be desperate and go looking for a boyfriend” she said bluntly, not minding if he was going to get defensive. Sienna herself hadn’t ever looked for anyone to fall in love with, Hell she tried to stay as far away from people as was possible. Meeting Theo had been an accident ; something that just happened and she preferred it that way. “I think you should let her meet someone in her own time’ that was more of a warning. Messing with other people’s love life’s never had a positive out come. He started speaking again and relief flooded over her. A feeling she hadn’t been awear she was waiting for. He was single and not interested in anyone. The jealousy that had started to build up melted away. He’d never been one for preps; she did remember that even though preps and jocks were meant to go hand in hand. “I hate preps” was her only comment before she screwed up her nose again. Never one for too many words she didn’t feel the need to indulge in the relationship spiel anymore. “Hey, are you free tonight? a mischievous smirk flittered over her features. It was a Friday night and the two of them hadn’t just… hung out in forever. “I think you should come out with me tonight and get drunk, of course” If it meant spending time with Theo , she’d be willing to suffer through a club scene for a few hours “Just to hang out, get your mind off your mom, just as...friends. she wasn’t not going to mention his mom. Fact was, the woman was dead, sadly , but it was an unavoidable fact and in her mind, alcohol fixed everything.

[Theo Spencer]

Theo widened his eyes as if he was in shock, but he wasn’t able to keep a straight face for long. He had a similar dry sense of humour as Sienna, and so when they weren’t arguing their relationship tended to be somewhat playful. She always knew how to hit the right spot with him and cheer him up. ”I can’t believe you’ve headed up my fan club! I really didn’t know you felt that way!” He laughed smiling as he lingered in her eyes for a moment or two. He smirked at her obvious preppy girl impression. Theo remembered when he was dating Sienna, there had been a lot of people in his crowd and in the prep crowd who weren’t really sure why he was dating her. They had thought Theo was a bit strange because he wasn’t dating a dumb blonde, with Gucci heels. But that type of girl only ever attracted Theo when he was after a quick fix, and they usually didn’t even get to keep him for the night. There was a lot of talk in the changing rooms about Sienna, guys found her hot but her attitude put them off, which was good for Theo because in all honesty, he didn’t want Sienna to find anyone else. He raised an eyebrow mischievously ”I guess you’ve never been innocent, but maybe you’ve been cute once or twice.” He was still very flirtatious towards her, and even more so when they were alone. He tended to tone it down a bit around people, mainly because he didn’t want people talking like he still liked her. ”I guess I did.” He remarked cocking an eyebrow as she stuck her tongue out.

Theo wanted nothing more than to hold her for as long as he could and before he knew it she vanished from his grasp, smelling her hair as she grinned. ”Your welcome. Thank you I think.” He smiled graciously. He didn’t care whether or not it was her hair or what, the fact was, she had her own distinct smell like every other person had their own smell, but hers was comforting. It reminded him of the lazy days they spent relaxing in bed, or on the sofa vegging out while they watched films and slept together. When he looked back, everything seemed almost perfect, like it as glossed with some sort of clouded film, blocking out the many memories when they fought and argued and upset each other. He remembered those times well when he let them sink back into his head, but he wondered still, if he gave them another chance, would things work out differently. He laughed slightly as she talked of the corpse who lay beneath them, ”Yeah I guess.” He shook his head as she continued with her statement, then he raised an eye sceptically, ”Steal your future men? So you have got someone in mind?” He asked curiously, he didn’t want to push it, and he was playful in his mannerisms but he wanted to press the subject. She’d probably moved on from him, and maybe, as his sister kept telling him, maybe it was time to move on.

He nodded in agreement, although he knew his timetable roughly, there was that many different rooms and subjects he sometimes got confused so he still carried his timetable with him. ”I guess none of your good deeds go unmissed.” He smiled at her running his hand over his head, before folding his arms across his chest. As she spoke his name he almost couldn’t stop himself from thinking of inappropriate images, he smiled and shook his head blushing slightly before he listened to what she was saying. ”Yeah… I guess you don’t.” He shrugged it off shaking his head, a light grin tampering with his lips as she bit down on one of her fingers, ”Do you always tease guys like this? Or is it part of your ploy to get me involved in your Theo fan club?” His tone sarcastic yet playful as he shot a glance into her eyes. Theo knew she didn’t sleep around, in fact he remembered the pain she’d caused when she made him wait for a while when they’d got together.

Theo smiled and nodded, ”Yeah I know, I told her that too. I told her she didn’t need one.” He agreed, shrugging his shoulders. It was easier said than done, people who were lonely tended to feel it more than people who chose to be alone. ”Geez, I am! I’m just taking her on a night out so she can meet people. She’s kind of a closet hermit, and she doesn’t really have many friends.” He explained, realising he sounded like he’d made friends with a total geek, but she wasn’t… not really. He was slightly disappointed when she didn’t really respond when he admitted he was single and not looking, and he guessed this confirmed the fact she had moved on. He nodded as she once again confirmed she hated preps. They weren’t all that bad but he wasn’t about to argue with her about it. He frowned hearing her question, his heart almost pounded out of his chest. Had she just asked him out on a date? He let her finish and he realised that maybe she was just trying to be friendly. His stomach crashed as he realised he’d overly read into it. ”I am free, I was meant to have practice but I told coach I wouldn’t be attending, because of mom.” he shrugged before nodding, not wanting to sound overly enthusiastic. ”Yeah sure. Not sure I’m really in the mood to go clubbing, we could always just hang out, maybe watch some scary films, get some beers and get drunk and veg out?” He asked her suggestively, not that he was planning to try it on with her, he wouldn’t dream of it, he wouldn’t be brave enough, but that night sounded more appealing to him right at this moment. ”Unless you want to go out, then we can do that. It’s up to you. I’m game.” He added, realising that if she had moved on like he thought she had, his suggestion would probably be a fatal reminder of everything they used to do.

[Sienna Holland]

The transition from seriousness to joy in his face was a quick one and she was glad. On days like these in this sort of situation, Sienna found making people laugh was a much better thing to do then sitting around moping, discussing feelings and things like that. Although she’d tried for his sake to do that a couple of times. It always ended in arguments. The idea of him having his own fan club was sort of comical; the image of girls wearing buttons and t-shirts with his face all over them came to mind. Shrugging she grinned, it seemed she spent a lot of time smiling around him. “What can I say ,I’m crazy about you” she was of course joking around but as soon the words left her mouth they felt all to real. For a moment panic slipped in between the mixed emotions she was feeling right now, although it wasn’t like she’d let anything slip and they were just playing. Hopefully he wouldn’t pick up on anything. While they’d been together, she’d put up with abuse from his peer’s, if they saw her out and about it wasn’t unusual for Sienna to get glared at, it amused her really. Part of her had always wanted one of them to say something because she knew she’d use physical violence against them. Not that Theo would have approved and no doubt she’d have been sued, so maybe it was a good thing. Being cute however was not good “I might have been cute just to get your attention once upon a time” flirting with Theo wasn’t something that felt awkward like it possibly should have talking to an ex. It felt very right.

If possible, Sienna might have glued herself to him just to be near him always. She shook her head as if trying to shake the thoughts. It was too easy to remember what they’d been, what they did, how they acted with each other. It was odd, just standing there with the space in-between them. “Your welcome” she mimicked him as he thanked her, winking at him. The brunette had very much the same problem he did. Logic told her they were a disaster, her heart however told a different story. Their relationship was now seen through rose colored glasses, the fights were there but they seemed minimal and avoidable. If she hadn’t said this, or he hadn’t done that the arguments would never had existed. Maybe it was nostalgia that made her want to be with him again. Sienna trusted very few people, she let even fewer people in past her hard exterior. Theo had managed to someone slip in underneath it. There’d be no communication and when she’d seen him with another girl it had completely shattered her, she knew that. Sienna could still remember what it felt like, she couldn’t help wanting to be with him again though. It was just a matter of fighting her feelings. He laughed as she told him about the corpse and if it had been anyone else it would have bothered her. Theo knew how she was though; she was quirky to say the least. “Someone in mind?” she repeated the question and felt a slight blush rise to her cheeks. Of course she had someone in mind he was standing right in front of her. “Not right now but you know, I don’t plan on being alone forever. So if I meet someone no fear of dear old Mary here trying to steal him” she joked, patting the tombstone gently.


Sienna didn’t see the point in going to school. She could read and write and understand the periodic table, in fact the petite girl was actually fairly smart. It was the authority in school she didn’t work well with. The actual curriculum was fairly easy for her. Scowling she nodded “Exactly, so why bother?” it was very much a rhetorical question but it wouldn’t surprise her if he tried to give her an answer. Sienna had heard a lot of speeches from her father, her teachers even the principle telling her how well she could do in school, that she was wasting her life but in all honesty she didn’t care. If she never ended up with a job so be it, if worst came to worst she could do what her father did, mechanics. That she was training for even if it wasn’t recognized. Sienna preferred to live in the now rather then the future. Meaning she didn’t worry about future relationships, nor what people thought of her. “No I don’t” she confirmed, nodding. “The teasing part… I suppose I do that a little more then I should. It’s just so fun to see them squirm” by the time she’d finished her words Sienna had taken on a sort of whiney tone. “I really do think you should come pose for me though” she teased poking him gently in the chest.

It annoyed her when people felt the need to be with someone, to prove they were cool, even just to make themselves feel less lonely. Relationships weren’t built on that. She was pretty much a loner and had been for a long time. It had worked out alright for her. “Did you ever stop to think if you take her out she’s going to cling to what’s familiar, that would be you, and not socialize with anyone else?” pointing the fact out she ran her fingers through her hair. If she’d been in that situation, and this was assuming this girl had a low self confidence level, Sienna would have stuck to what was comfortable. It did make her a little jealous that he was going to be taking this girl out. Friendly or not it was hard to get her head around the idea of him being with someone else. Actually to be totally honest she hated the idea. Picturing Theo with someone under his arm, watching ridiculous old movies with someone else felt like someone was stabbing her in the stomach. This wasn’t normal, you weren’t meant to feel this way about your ex. As he admitted to being free a smile spread over her face “Good, your not anymore I’m booking you in” he wasn’t getting a choice in the matter. Watching him unmoving as her suggested an alternative she felt her stomach knot itself. Movies meant being alone, alcohol meant she’d want to be affectionate. Swallowing briefly she nodded, a tense smile glued to her face. “No movies are beer sounds good, really good actually” it wasn’t fir, he shouldn’t have had this effect on her. No body else did. “Did you want to come to my place? I’m fairly sure dad’s away this weekend, so you can come keep me company” so maybe she was subconsciously planning for them to be alone together “Or you know, at your dorm, whatever’s comfortable” she shrugged trying to play it cool .In reality her heart was beating just that little bit faster then it should have it wasn’t usual for her to get like this, not even with Theo. Maybe she was just excited….

[Theo Spencer]

For some reason, being around Sienna made the atmosphere lighten up a bit. There was no reason to mope about. His parents had died years ago, and in reality he accepted it. His eyes graced over Sienna’s body, she looked so out of place here, almost lost in a place where her radiant features were undervalued. He laughed as she remarked, ”Well yeah, you wouldn’t be stalking me if you weren’t. I mean, you’ve even come as far as to stalk me here!” He joked back with her, although deep inside he critically analysed her words. It was often difficult for him to just take things literal with Sienna, because she wasn’t too good with expressing her feelings. He had a bad habit of looking into things just a little bit too much. Theo listened to her words curiously and cocked an eyebrow. ”Yeah. I guess once upon a time… or maybe your still a bit cute. But just a teeny tiny bit.” He smirked raising his hand to form an inch or so between his fingers.

Theo wondered what would happen if they ever were to get into some sort of situation where they happened to fall into each others arms and embrace in a kiss. He highly doubted it would happen, but he could always wish. Then again there was probably more chance been struck by lightening. He guessed she’d be horrified if she knew his thoughts right now. They had, after all, agreed to be just friends, and at first it had been difficult to even do that, without strongly fighting a desire to kiss her. But he was now a master in control and he hoped she’d never find out. He wasn’t much older or wiser since they’d been together, so he couldn’t even promise her it would be any different, and so he wasn’t going to try. Theo raised an eyebrow as she repeated what he said, and he smiled as she blushed. ”You obviously do have someone in mind because you blushed and you don’t blush for fun!” He laughed playfully as she patted the tombstone.

Theo shrugged his shoulders at her question, he new it was rhetorical but he couldn’t help but partially respond. He hated school and rarely seen the point in going, but his main priority was sport and without the grades he couldn’t play. He’d be screwed if he didn’t study because unlike Sienna he didn’t have this natural ability, and he wasn’t all too clever. He wasn’t thick, but he had to work to get decent grades. He was some what jealous of her academic ability, mainly because she didn’t put them to use. He cocked an eyebrow and smiled, ”Yeah. It’s not fun to remind your ex of what they used to have.” He stated, panic running through his veins as he realised what he’d said, he smiled and laughed playfully almost as if he wasn’t really meaning it. ”I guess we’ll have to see about that one.” He smirked watching her finger.

Theo frowned as she pointed out the situation, he hadn’t really thought about it before. He hadn’t really contemplated it at all. ”What you mean? Do you mean she’ll try it on with me?” He asked her curiously, ”I don’t think Libbi would do that. I guess she’s just not used to being out and socialising.” he shrugged, he hadn’t thought anything of it when he’d offered to go somewhere with her. Theo had no idea why Sienna was asking if he was free, obviously she’d asked him to hang out, but he didn’t know why. He smirked anyway as she suggested she was booking him. She didn’t look too pleased with his suggestion, maybe a little tense. ”Yeah sure. Your place is fine. I hope your dad’s away, since he hates me.” He smirked rolling his eyes, he wasn’t sure if her dad really hated him or whether his presumption was unjust, but a house alone meant he had time alone with her. ”It’ll be good to get out of the dorm because I’ve been arguing with my room mate Jack. He took a knife to my arm.” He explained shrugging, it wasn’t really a big deal, he was over it now.

[Sienna Holland]

Spending time around Theo was never regrettable. In fact he was one of the only people who could put her in a good mood which in itself was a hard task. His eyes glanced over her body and for a moment she felt self conscious before reminding herself, it wasn’t like he hadn’t seen what was under the clothes. “Stalking you? I never said I was stalking you, I’d prefer to call it a coincidence that I just knew you’d be here”batting her eyes lashes innocently at him as she spoke. No body else got to see her like this, more playful. Not many people saw anything beyond an attitude and a rough exterior. Not even Theo had seen a lot of her personality, a mushy side, basically because she lacked one. Of course she had empathy and sympathy but in small amounts. Even when she was feeling emotion, Sienna much preferred to drink or have a smoke rather then talk about it and he was well awear. Snorting as he commented on her being cute “Maybe I’ll just have to do something bad ass to disprove my cuteness” as he lifted his hand she slapped it lightly.

Honestly, if she knew what he was thinking at that time, she wouldn’t have hated him. In fact she herself was wondering what would happen if they ended up kissing. Hugging him was tempting enough. After having been with the boy for so long, she’d become used to being affectionate with him. The whole ‘friends’ thing was proving more difficult then she’d expected. Mentally slapping herself Sienna chewed her bottom lip gently. Normally she had so much self control; she shouldn’t have been having these thoughts. It felt like it’d been years since they’d broken up only she knew that wasn’t the case. She was still the same person, so was he . Which was only making it harder. She was still the same girl who’d been in love with him, moving on hadn’t even been a thought. Yet. In fact normally she just tried to turn off all thoughts about him. That was hard when he was standing right in front of her though. The heat in her cheeks was more evident now and she turned her head mumbling a ‘shutup’ “I don’t have someone in mind it’s just kind of weird talking about this with you because of well…because of us” shrugged she flipped her fringe out of her eyes “That’s like telling you about my sex life, not something I think you’d want to know about”

As he shrugged she smirked. Sienna hated school, everything about it, she knew Theo did to but he loved his football so he had to go. She however had the freedom to do as she pleased. Occasionally she turned up, there was not much point though. No one there really spoke to her and nothing was particularly challenging. At one stage she’d tried to tutor him, well she’d tried to ‘study’ with him although it hadn’t ended well. Nothing productive had been done. As he commented on reminding him of what he used to have, her automatic response was to say ‘you still could’ but she didn’t because that would just be embarrassing , the second thing that came to mind was to comment about the fact he was the one who cheated on her first. However that would just cause another fight. Why did this situation have to be so awkward? “Oh but I think it’s very fun” her voice took on a sort of sultry tone, just for a few seconds before she grinned again. No doubt her cheeks were going to be sore after this. “Oh I’m sure I could find a way to make you do it”


As she pointed out to him the fact Libbi might not socialize he seemed to be deep in thought. It was sort of amusing actually, she hadn’t thought it was that hard to figure out. Now it was her turn to shrug “I didn’t say she’d come onto you”the idea of that happening, no matter how nerdy and un-sociable his friend may be made her uneasy. The general idea of other girls hitting on him made her queasy. “I just meant if your there she might not branch out and talk to other people, it’s easy to stay in your comfort zone and out in public, you’d be her comfort zone” Sienna tried to explain it in a simpler way, wondering if he was going to understand what she was saying at all. Booking him in for a night sucked, the fact she had to organize it that is, Sienna much preferred when she’d been able to ring him and tell him she was coming over. Now it seemed she never saw him enough and when she did it was scheduled. “He will be and he’s doesn’t… hate you, just has a fairly strong dislike for you” her father did dislike him, just a little bit. Mainly because of fact she’d moped for weeks after they’d broken up and he was a father, what was he suppose to do otherwise? Listening to him, she felt the color drain from her cheeks as her eyes widened. ”Wait so he tried to stab you and your still in the same dorm as this guy because….? she failed to see any logical reason to that. ”Your okay though, right?”

[Theo Spencer]

Theo had sort of avoided Sienna when they first broke up. The rare occasions she showed up in school, he’d avoid the lessons where their timetable collided. Mainly because it was difficult for him to see her. The more he saw her the more he liked her, the more he liked her, the more uncontrollable his feelings for her were. Over the passing months as their friendship had reignited he had become more comfortable around her, and he was able to spend time with her without hurting himself. He’d never meant to lose her. It had been an inconvenience and a mistake. But Theo was used to hearing gossip, and mostly he shrugged it off, but he’d heard one too many rumours about Sienna, and things got too much. He wished he hadn’t listened to the people he hung around with. They didn’t know Sienna, and most had made it clear they weren’t keen on him dating her. Not that it was anything to do with them. But the issues that he usually forget was their consistent arguments and bickering. He wasn’t sure he could really get passed that, even if they hadn’t ended through his own stupidity. He wasn’t convinced that they would have stayed together, but at least they’d have tried. He raised his eyebrows in mock shock and shook his head, ”Really? So your psychic now babe?” He smirked running his hand over his head. He cocked his head as she hit his hand, ”I’d appreciate it if you didn’t shatter my illusion.” He smiled politely.

He pulled a confused face, and shrugged his shoulders. ”I thought we were friends… sorry.” He stated feeling a little awkward. ”I guess it depends who your sex life involves… I guess if it was you alone, or with a female, or revisiting the past then yeah, I wouldn’t mind talking about it. But if you are going to enlighten me as to who you’ve slept with or dated since me, then no, your right. I don’t want to know.” He stated smiling slightly. He felt awkward his heart pounded, maybe he shouldn’t have asked her, maybe he shouldn’t have pushed the situation. ”Sorry.” He stated again, he bit his lip slightly before spinning his head to the side looking around slightly. Theo wasn’t sure if she’d be offended or not, and he hoped she wouldn’t be able to read his slight tension, which may have indicated slight jealousy. He’d hidden it for too long and he wasn’t about to let it escape. She’d obviously moved on from him. It was time for him to do the same. He had of course been playing the field but one night stands weren’t the same, and he was beginning to realise there was no point in meaningless sex. It only left him feeling alone and depressed the next day. He was clearly still so very in love with Sienna, but he tried not to admit it to himself.

Theo raised an eyebrow forcing back a smirk from elapsing on his face. ”Oh… why do you think it’s fun?” He asked curiously, slightly flirtatious. He winked at her, the way he would when they were together when he was joking about something and even trying to wind her up. He was playful and his personality was blunt and he couldn’t help it from being so blatantly obvious. He had told Sienna that he’d loved her, on more than one occasion. Theo had exposed his feelings and laid himself on the line too many times. He’d been dedicated to her, and he’d have done anything for her, but his class clown Jack the lad persona had disguised his true feelings for her. He had come across kind of like he didn’t care when he was in public, but behind closed doors it was a different story. She knew he loved her, and to him there was no other girl that would match.

Theo shrugged his shoulders as he contemplated the Libbi situation. ”Yeah, I guess, but what if she does? What if she thinks its like a date or something?” He asked her naively. He was pretty much useless when it came to reading between the lines. He was a typical guy, it took him a long time to get his head around things. ”Yeah… you think it might be better for her to go on her own? She said she doesn’t like going places on her own… so maybe I should make it a group night out? But then again she’s then more likely to stay in the group right?” He asked her curiously, he guessed he’d still end up taking Libbi out, but just as friends so she could get used to being out, and find some guys. Theo was excited for the night with Sienna, it was a shame they had to make plans, they used to be so spontaneous with each other, and Theo would often turn up late at night for a cuddle after football practice and what not. But that was in the past. Tonight was just about bridging the gap for his mothers birthday, it wasn’t like he’d be staying there or anything. ”Sienna baby, he hates me.” He raised an eyebrow smiling, Theo didn’t really care that her father was upset with him, it was afterall understandable. Theo nodded as she seemed to be shocked. ”Yeah I’m fine. Just got a few stitches, I’m still there yeah. It was my dorm first. Psycho Jack just has a few issues. He’ll get round them.” He shrugged he wasn’t bothered about Jack anymore. He had Sienna for the evening. ”What time then? For this friend company date thing. Like cos I’m free now.” He asked not quite sure what to call it. He didn’t want her getting annoyed or anything.

[Sienna Holland]

’The break up’ as she referred to it was possibly the worst one she’d ever gone through. Not only was it messy but it had also been embarrassing and over dramatic. Sienna tried not to let a lot of things get to her, not unless they really mattered and Theo had really mattered. The abuse while she’d been with him was fine, she hadn’t minded. Mainly because she’d had something to show for it and knew that despite the fact the preps and female jocks talked shit on her, she still had Theo. That had made all the difference. Once they’d broken up it was like free game. Not that it was particularly easy to find her seeing as she wasn’t at school very often, but when those types of kids had seen her around they’d made a point of belittling her about the fact Theo was hooking up with other girls. Of course if hurt but she wasn’t going to give them the satisfaction of that knowledge and so instead did her best to ignore it. That wasn’t a time she particularly enjoyed thinking about. It was irrational to have let one person mean that much to her. After all he had to leave sometime, right? He called her ‘babe’ and a knot formed in the pit of her stomach. That wasn’t fair. Shrugging it off “Always have been and I predict in your future a football scholarship” she nodded grinning before her lips turned down into a pout. “Always so selfish, what If I don’t want to be cute in your illusions? well that sounded a little misleading.

The confusion was evident on his face as he mistook them for not being friends I never said we weren’t friends… she mumbled the words as he continued with his little speech. Perhaps if it had been anyone else they might have found it a little bit perverted, she instead laughed it off. “Sorry to report no lesbian encounters” Sienna was by no means offended, in fact it was sort of adorable he didn’t want to hear. It didn’t just mean he thought it was awkward in fact it seemed he was sort of jealous. Then again, she supposed guys had that sort of possession over girls where they didn’t like other guys touching their ex’s. That was what she was going to put it down to “Don’t be sorry I just… didn’t think you’d really want to hear about who I’ve been sleeping with, or slept with, like you said” the conversation really shouldn’t have been this awkward. She was a master in the art of deception and so acting as if she’d moved on was a fairly easy task, although if she’d known what was on his mind, Sienna might not have been taking that approach. She knew she still loved the boy, but fighting her feelings for him seemed like the only logical thing to do. After all the ‘friendship’ would be non-existent if she hadn’t started pushing them away in the first place.

Dropping her gaze as he winked at her Sienna bit her bottom lip gently. Why was it when he was just the slightest bit flirtatious or spoke to her like he used to that she turned all fan girly. It wasn’t like that with anyone else. Still she had a question to answer ”I suppose I just like seeing people squirm, mainly boys” as she finished her comment Sienna flicked her eyes up to meet his gaze and grinned at him, wickedly. “Besides, You never seemed to mind me making you squirm” bringing up the past was bad. A very bad idea, it only made her think back to certain times in their relationships. Theo had been Sienna’s first, although since him she’d had a fair few amount of flings. Recently though she’d stopped. The dirty feeling she had after meaningless sex was starting to take its toll and so for the last couple of months she’d been abstinent. It’d been different with him, afterwards she’d never felt guilty like she’d done something wrong. Perhaps that was because afterwards she could cuddle into him and know it had meant something. That was about as emotional as she got, around other people anyway. Although he hadn’t been particularly vocal about his feelings for her in public, it’d never been an issue because in all honesty she’d been the same.

He was asking her for advice, relationship advice, well sort of. Twisting her hair around her fingers absent mindedly she watched him for a minute before speaking ”Just make it clear before hand it’s not a date?” it was both a question and a statement. Sienna was fairly sure he could make that clear, it wouldn’t be that hard after all and maybe just maybe she was trying to get him to tell his friend that because the jealousy in her was a little more spiteful then she’d be willing to let on. “I’m not saying throw the poor girl out on her own…but the group could be a good idea. That was she wont think it’s a date and she can still talk to you and other people, you know, your friends” in all honesty she wasn’t the best person to ask for advice, the only benefit was she had a feminine perspective on the issue. The idea of spending the night with Theo was incredibly appealing. When they were alone she could let lose and be well, act like a teenager, not the moody sarcastic front she usually put up. In public when they’d been together she’d never been completely comfortable. If she’d wanted to, the brunette probably could have fit in with the preps but she didn’t want to buy into their plastic world. Letting out a small laugh she crossed her arms over her chest ”Okay so maybe he does hate you… the fact he’d called her baby hadn’t gone unnoticed. In fact just at the sound of the word her heart skipped a beat however commenting on it she felt would make things awkward well more awkward then they seemed to be now.

Listening, Sienna let concern cross her features for a moment as he explained the incident of the stabbing ”Jesus Christ… you could charge him you know!” of course she knew all about the legal system. Not because she wanted to be a lawyer, just because she’d been in trouble so many times. ”He sounds like a complete nutter I’m not so sure I’m keen on you living there”as soon as the words were out of her mouth the brunette wanted to sew her lips together. She’d lost the right to tell him what she wanted him to do and what not to do when they’d broken up. Although if he questioned it she could always play it off as concern. Theo had started to ramble a bit and she grinned, screwing her nose up in amusement.”Well, if your not busy now, we can start our friend company date thing right now” she was teasing him by using his own explanation. ”I have no where to be in a hurry though, so if you have things you need to do, whenever is fine” the sooner he got to her house the sooner she could see him meaning the more time she got to spend with him.

[Theo Spencer]

Theo hadn’t really considered the prospect of being in love. When he’d got with Sienna, initially it had been a challenge. He’d found her attractive, but everytime he tried anything, she blew him off. He worked real hard to try and get her attention. By the time she finally accepted him, he was almost drawn to her. She kept him waiting; it was the longest he’d gone without sex. Usually he’d have ran from it but there was something about Sienna that kept him holding on. His friends thought he was crazy, but by the time they slept together… she meant more to him than any girl had ever meant. He loved her. He was in love. It was a strange, yet amazing feeling, and it only intensified everything they did physically. He was in awe of her, and meaningful sex was on another level to anything he’d felt before. He knew she had probably been with people since him, but he always kind of hoped that they’d not been as meaningful as him. He didn’t want their relationship tainted by anything anyone else could offer. If she got another boyfriend, his world would have probably ended. ”Yeah I guess.” He laughed as she flirted with him, pouting as she knew he loved it. ”Sienn, babe, you cant pull that face and insinuate… unless of course your going to follow through to what your implying.” He raised his eyebrow flirtatiously, his eyes glancing over her petite frame.


He listened to her carefully. He wasn’t sure what she was trying to say. She denied any female encounters and he smirked playfully. ”Well no, I don’t. But part of me is curious. Like the thought of you with someone else makes me wanna vomit. But I am curious, I mean, I wanna know,… you know, to make sure they are good enough for you.” He shrugged his shoulders, ”It’s kind of an ex thing I think.” He shrugged again, trying to make out like it wasn’t really a big deal, he wouldn’t care who his other exes dated or slept with, but Sienna was different. ”Are you not remotely curious who I’ve been with?” He asked her raising his eye brows. ”I guess you wouldn’t be bothered… its not like your really the attachment type.” He smirked teasing her slightly. He liked teasing Sienna, it was as close to flirting as he could get without actually being honest.

Theo raised his eyebrows, so she liked to see boys squirm. Not him. It was a general statement. He sighed slightly, ”Oh… I see… I guess since your slightly evil, its somewhat acceptable.” His eyes raised and a smile cracked on his face, ”Yeah, your right. I liked it when you made me squirm. Especially when we were in bed.” He winked at her and laughed playfully. ”I guess its not awkward talking about our sex life. You know, since we were both there and we both knew what happened.” He smirked winking at her. He could probably struggle to contain himself if they started talking about their sex life. He missed it. He missed her. Sure he’d had sex with other girls, but it was never like with Sienna. Sex had been meaningless recently and simply to get the fix. Nothing more. What he’d give to have her back was nobody’s business.

She used to twist her hair around her fingers before they engaged in naughty activities and so it got his mind thinking. ”Yeah I guess…” He shrugged his shoulders, he wasn’t all too certain how to do that but he wasn’t going to ask and make himself look useless. He wasn’t good at relationship stuff. ”Maybe. But then again, she doesn’t hang in my crowd so it might be a bit of a bad idea. I guess I could invite Ashley… our roommate.” He suggested thinking it may be a better option. Theo raised his eyebrows and he shrugged his shoulders, ”Yeah, I guess. Not that I really know why. I know the way things ended wasn’t nice, but… seriously, were friends now so he should just… I don’t know… not hate me.” He laughed slightly, although he didn’t really think she’d find him all too amusing, afterall he was bringing up the break up. He was nervous and he couldn’t help it around her. She knocked him off guard and it wasn’t something that was easy to do. He was usually very good around women.

Theo smiled as she looked concerned. ”I could, but I’m not a jerk. He is crazy. Why are you not keen? Its not like you come to visit me.” He stated cocking an eyebrow, was she really worried about him? Did she actually care? ”I didn’t know you cared.” He teased smiling at her. He nodded and shook his head as she tried to use his saying, he chuckled in amusement. ”I’m all done for the night. I’m all yours baby.” He responded shrugging his shoulders. ”Lets get out of this place. It gives me the creeps.” He shuddered looking around toward his parents grave. ”Thanks Sienna. No one gets me like you.” He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and began trying to walk toward the exit.

[Sienna Holland]

The actual word love didn’t mean a lot to Sienna. She knew how she felt but the word didn’t seem to quite fit it. A feeling that encapsulated your whole being and the only way to describe it was a four letter word? It just didn’t seem right to her. Of course she hadn’t figured out until it was too late what it was exactly she’d been feeling. True, she wasn’t the first one to cheat but there was simple matter of trust. In all honesty she hadn’t told him half as much as she probably should have so it wasn’t all that surprising that Theo had listened to his friends. Didn’t mean she didn’t want to kill them though. There was gentility about Theo that made her gravitate towards him. As much of a bitch as she could be, it didn’t mean she wanted to be treated like she was made of stone and he had the perfect balance. Gentle when she needed him to be and hard assed and defended himself when he needed to. It was true, she had made him wait for sex but that had been her own little test in a way, to see how much he was prepared to do for her. Wasn’t a secret that he’d been rumored to sleep around a bit before they’d gotten together? Besides the fact he’d taken her virginity, Sienna needed to trust him which was another part of the reason she’d made him wait. No one else is this stupid town measured up to even half of what he was. Maybe that was why she couldn’t see herself in a relationship with anyone else. No one else could be Theo and that was what she really wanted. “Maybe I plan on following through, maybe I don’t depends what mood I’m in later” she teased him, being aloof as she figured it would set his imagination on fire. Then again she coulnd’t blame him, he was a male and she was being fairly enticing.

Sienna was much to attracted to males to even consider doing anything with someone of the same sex, even when she was drunk and being influenced she’d always said no. Theo however she had a feeling would almost always say yes, to a female that is. It was true she was curious about his love life, well rather his sex life since they’d broken up. Curiouse to see if anyone could complete with her. “Theo...I really don’t think you’d want to know, even on a protective basis, even if you begged I don’t think I’d tell you. Not all of them were good enough but they were my stupid choices to make” after their break up she’d gone through a stage of sleeping with random’s to try and get the memories of him out of her head, it hadn’t worked. He changed the topic to his own sex life and she bit down on her lip nervously. Of course she was curious but hearing about it would probably only hurt her and being vulnerable around him wasn’t an option. “Of course I’m curious it’s only natural to be she responded with a shrug “Then again I’m sure you tell all your buddies in the locker room about your escapades so repeating the stories must get very tiring”trying to keep the mood light she winked at him. “That’s me, no attachment, I’m a free spirit and all that other hippie crap.”


For a moment he seemed a little distracted and she watched him curiously, flipping her hair back behind her shoulder. When she was nervous Sienna tended to fidget a lot. “Make up your mind I can’t be cute an evil at the same time….although I’m liking the sound of evil more”she couldn’t help but laugh at his next couple of statements ” That’s true we were both there” their sex life wasn’t something she minded reminiscing on. True at the time she’d had nothing to compare it to but Theo was, amazing. He seemed to be able to balance things just perfectly, the right amount of tenderness and but he was always able to excite her. By this stage it was probably obvious her mind had wandered back to past memories and she shook her head briefly trying to erase them ”That was cruel” she was of course referring to the images he’d just created in her head. Letting him know he was good in bed wasn’t embarrassing because it had always meant something. Even if they both tried to deny it, she knew she’d loved him and knew he’d loved her. If his friends hadn’t been such ass holes they might still have been off living their little Romeo and Juliet story.

Theo rambled for a bit, apparently he was concerned about this girl thinking it was a date. In all honesty it was a little awkward for her to listen to because all she wanted to do was tell him to ignore his friend and stay with her, ignore this friend of his and just spend as much time as possible with her. Laughing a little in an attempt to hide her jealous Sienna shook her head, brunette curls hitting her gently in the face as she did so “Do you have any male friends, or is she a lesbian?” he was trying to set this girl up to find a date right? Unless he actually took some males for her to meet it wasn’t going to get him very far. Frowning she realized she was probably going to have to talk to him about this and find a way so that it worked out in the end for her. There wasn’t a lot she wouldn’t do when it meant getting what she wanted. For a long time what she’d wanted was to kill Theo, which was part of the reasons her father hated him. Shrugging Sienna watched him with her baby blues studying his reaction “He’s a dad I suppose, he still sees me as six. Maybe if you had kids it’d be easier to understand” it was true parents were often to over protective. Well awear that his were dead she made no apology of brining the topic up. That just was not something she’d be likely to do. Blunt was her middle name.

It was only natural to be concerned, it wasn’t every day you found out your ex had been stabbed. “Well there in lies half your problem, be more of a jerk maybe you won’t get stabbed” as he cocked an eye brow she returned the favor placing her hands on her hips “Are you complaining about me not coming to visit you?” she teased, trying to sound as much like an authority figure as possible “’Coz having a psychotic roommate isn’t going to help any”. For a moment she was silent and her face softened, just a little bit ”Of course I care” he didn’t need to know what extent though. Sienna liked it when he called her baby, actually she just liked the pet names in general which was odd because if it had been anyone else, she might have been doing some stabbing herself. “Wanna tell someone where your going in case I decide to turn evil and stab you to?” maybe some of her jokes were a little to morbid. Laughing she nodded and pushed herself up form the grave stone ”It’s a graveyard, they generally are pretty creepy” his arms wrapped around her shoulder and she slung one loosely around his waist, letting herself be led towards the exit. “No problem babe, really” was her quiet response. What he’d said had probablly just made her day and he hadn’t even realized.
