Nicotine and the Backward Lounge [O] [M?]

[Ra[que]l?!]

The festive lights and colors of Chinatown teased Alex's senses. He needed a lighthearted atmosphere to pull him out of the bleak moods he experienced almost constantly. School work kept him busy, but he missed the comforts of his home. Like sleeping in his own bed, and getting food from the fridge. He let out a small groan and massaged his temples.

Children ran about, laughing at the wonder and joy in the world. He watched them with envy in his eyes. When was the last time he had been carefree? The last time he had laughed? He dragged his feet along the ground littered with confetti and trash. The acrid smell of smoke reached his nose. His lip curled in disgust. Smoking was a habit he had given up a few years back. He had a name for the devil. Nicotine. Still contemplative, he walked on. His heart ached for comfort. He longed for someone to be with. There had only been one girl in his whole life. He blocked out all thoughts of her. It would surely bring him to tears.

On and on he walked through the vivid streets. He was invisible to all, sometimes even himself. In these cheery streets he had no place. Did he have a place anywhere? He clenched his jaw, forcing the burning sadness down. All he wanted to do was run. He just wanted to get away. Get away from the smiling faces. Get away from everything. He broke into a sprint, leaving Chinatown behind. The steady pounding of his feet cleared his mind and eased his choking sobs. At last he stopped, and laid his tired body down. The grass soaked his jeans, but it didn't matter. He closed his eyes and wished with all his might that something would save him.

^{HOPE IS LOST
UNLESS ITS FOUND SOON}

the morning had been an early one for the teenager, a seventeen year old was not often a kind subject to the loud blaring alarm clock that rings too early. though without school to head off too madison was tempted to hit the snooze button for oh another THREE HOURS! though her mind won the small femme over, and as she stumbled from bed groggy and stiff she wondered why she insisted upon torturing herself. what exactly would happen if she skipped a morning of jogging, it was not as if she would become obese over night though she was certain it would allow for the bad habbit to become more and more occurent, taking her over and soon her routine would be sleep till noon. though it was her grandmothers blood that ran through her veins, well that and a vampires aswell. light pusle of her heart murmered, and odd occurence for a purebred, though she of course was no purebred but a mutt if you pleased. whatever you dared call her, the stunning seventeen year old knew how to turn heads. tan skin was from her mother of course, her father was to thank for her wholesome model like beauty. it was all there, the curves and flawless skin, perfect hair and stunning eyes though it grew short when it came to her height. a midget no, though short yes just barely making five foot three the teen wished her legs were longer by just a few inches though she knew she was done growing, and would have to live with gods grace.

occuli were not open fully as she stumbled into the bathroom, and headed for a shower it would help wake her up. hands ran over her smooth legs and a smile tugged at tired kissers, she wouldnt have to shave this morning and shorts would be perfectly suitable as her eyes caught glimpse of the great outdoors. it seemed to be a lovley morning. whilst madison enjoyed her morning antics the clock ticked away slowley, though it seemed to be like she was in fast forward as she was rushing out the door. i-pod in hand her shorts and a tank, wet hair long and curled in a pony tail high on her head. small feet were shoved in her laced up nikes as she jogged out of the house and twords the route she usually took. down the roads and through a field, along the outskirts of chinatown she ran. the morning was no different, frame small though curved moved in a candenced motion, occuli looked into the grass before her. though as she moved through the grass and closer to town she stumbled upon a very first. hand clasped over her mouth as she slammed on the brakes, small high pitched shriek was let out as she skid to a halt quite literaly. on the mornings wet grass she fell, pretty hard she narrowly missed the boy whom laid in the damp foliage. she felt blood trickle down her elbow as she laid right next to him, head spinning for a moment she sat up to fast and pulled herself away from him. daring not to stand for fear of falling once more madison tugged her skinned knees to her chest and blushed lightly, vocals sang out in a sincere apology...

I am soo sorry!
i didn't see you there,
i really have to pay attention to where im going!
are you okay?



ooc: hope this is okay.

[Ra[que]l?!]

He laid there.

His ears were unusually sensitive for a human's. He heard the steady beat of someone running right towards him. He sat up and quickly swiped away the freshly fallen tears. It was a girl, no, more like a woman. She was slender and tan. Her body was so beautifully proportioned, he wished he could sketch her. She had just seen him and skidded to a very ungraceful stop, falling and busting her elbow. He sprang to his feet, waving away her appology.

"You fell pretty hard, are you okay?" His brows knitted together with concern for this beautiful creature. With furtive glances he examined her once more. Blonde hair held back by an elastic was adorned with gentle waves. Her eyes were full of concern and something other than that as well. Something he couldn't quite place his finger on. She radiated health and sex appeal. He brandished away dirty thoughts, but it was too late. The heat was creeping into his face, and he coughed quietly and started at the scenery willing the red to fade.

Common belief is that boys only think about sex, but that isn't true on all accounts. Well it isn't easy not to think about sex when a goddess just practically falls over you.....

ooc// Sorry if it's not up to par. Not a lot of muse cause of school and I'm stressed like crazy. Ha :]

as the spinning faded and her vision became more focused the teen allowed her curious occuli land upon the boy that was before her. his cheeks were a light crinsom, though hers were too from the mornings fresh air. smile lite her features as she hoped he wouldnt be upset with her, throbbing elbow and still slightly dazed head nodded to him though she still made no attempt to stand. instead she picked up her good arm and carefully pulled the elastic from her pony tail in hoped to relieve some of the pressure. as her golden locks fell over her shoulders she smiled to him lightly, he was different from the boys she talked to. different in so many ways she didn't even dare count, yet attractive in his own appealing way. breathing was cadeneced in the mornings fresh air as she heard his question ring out she smiled. her vocals took to the air a moment or two later, sweet and melodic so to speak...

oh yeah, im fine just a little sore...

sitting across from him her mind wandered a tad, though the thinking was slightly sore on her brain. as the morning sun continued to rise over the scene madison smiled, licking her soft though parched kissers she stretched her legs out and moved her arm to investigate her stinging shoulder and the sweet scent that poured from it. the cut was pretty deep, though nothing to serious resisting small urges she shrugged it off and looked to the young man before her once more... kissers parted as her angelic lyrics took stage again...

by the way, im madison...



ooc: its okay lol mine is no better

[Ra[que]l?!]

Madison. He smiled how fitting. He couldn't seem to draw his gaze away from those lips. Coughing into his hand, he distracted himself.

"I'm Alex. And I should be going now." He didn't mean to be short with her. But he really wasn't in the mindset to stay around and chat with this creature. His heart was still throbbing with unidentified pain. Drawing in a deep breath, he prepared to leave.

"Look, you caught me at a really bad time, so I'm off. I'll see you around." Without so much as a backward glance, he walked into the light mist.

smile was all she could muster as the boy covered his mouth with his hand, the way his eyes looked her over she knew he was staring abit. the teen laughed inside, it was nothing new that guys looked at her. she smiled eyes wandered to her elbow as it continued to bleed some, though the spinning head had come and gone. as the boy spoke to her the madison couldn't help but be slightly upset as he was leaving. she hadn't siad much, but obviously something wasnt right, before she could ask him the boy went on to speak once more. as he rose and strode off madison sat stunned for a moment, uncertain as to what he wanted usually boys gave clearer signs than "see you around" but what did it matter, this Alex was well a random stranger to say the least. looking around as she was still all alone madison sighed and pulled herself to slightly wobbly feet, standing for a moment she adjusted her shirt and shorts before taking off at a slow and easy jog to start.

small frame had a long stride, and she covered the ground with ease. long blonde hair in its thick curls bounced about, as she strode through the misty air. uncertain where she was headed the teen continued on, her morning jog rarley took an unknown route though this morning was an exception all ready...


ooc: i unno if you wanna keep this thread going or what?
