"How we getting there?" Casey asked.
Ima good ^^ Yous?
"A friend..." Immy replied, the same reply she gave every time she was asked. "It w-was..." She sobbed, hiding within the warm depths of the hood of the hoodie she'd been given the night before.
"Lets get going then." Casey smiled.
"I-If it wa-wasn't for me then you wouldn't of turned and then people wouldn't of freaked out and there wouldn't of been any drama and-- and--" She rambled, tears started to stream down her face heavy and fast. Immy sat down at the breakfast table just in time for a large tawny owl to swoop in through the window. The creature flew once around the kitchen and landed on her shoulder.The bird delivered a letter to her pretty much every day and as soon as he came into the room she smiled, and once it landed she gently stroked the creature and took the letter from it's leg. "Thank you Iris..."
"Jordan, don't be so horrible." Casey said in a stern tone, smacking the younger man around the head with his free hand. "We ready to go?"
"It's not..." Lake said quietly, her voice quivering as she held back tears. "I ruined your birthday..."
"You tell him little one." Casey chuckled, ruffling the boy's hair. "And pretty much, yeah. Post natal depression will do that though."
"I'm sorry..." She mumbled, looking down at the sheets.
"Hey there little man!" Casey exclaimed, bending down a scooping the child up and holding him up above his head before lowering him again. He held Cory in his right arm and looked up the stairs as Lyra disappeared up them. "Okay Ly."
"I guess..." She sighed, sounding more then slightly dejected. "Mickey...?" Lake said quietly, gently touching his shoulder in the hope of perhaps waking him up in an intrusive way.
"Sure," Casey nodded. "A trip to the doctors is better then no trip at all." He grinned. "Now, where's the munchkin boy. Cory~?" He called in a slightly melodic tone, faking looking puzzled as to where the child was.
"Seems like everyone had an eventful night but me..." Immy commented as she wandered calmly down the stairs. Lake looked down at the sleeping werewolf beside her, a faint blush spread once again across her pale face. Then, finally, the penny dropped. She could of broken up Mickey and his girlfriend... And no matter what she was going to have a large group of angry teenage girls wanting her hide. Last night, because of that man, the delicate balance of her near perfect existence had been destroyed.
At the moment Lily spoke Lyra's name there was a loud crack in the air and Casey appeared out in the hallway. "Hey! Sorry about not kno--" He started, pearing around the door into the room they were all gathered in. The sight of Lyra in tears stopped him in mid-sentence. "Did I come at a bad time?"
Immy nodded. "Yeah..." She replied, a small smile on her face. In Mickey's room Lake slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. Her brain still processing what she'd heard.
Conni sighed heavily. "Fine Case, just make sure you're back for dinner. Okay?" "Sure Mum," Casey nodded as he slid on his trainers. "See ya Elle, try not to smile too much." He chuckled as he saluted them then vanished into thin air.
"I hope everything sorts itself out, poor Lake has enough trouble with those girls without one of them wanting her dead..."
"I don't like the idea of leaving Jamei..." Elle mumbled. "I'll get a job when she's a bit older, if it gets too bad I'll talk to Granddad." "If you're happy with owing him money I guess." Conni sighed. She herself had wanted to prove to her parents that she was more the capable of looking after herself, that and Nort hadn't wanted to seem like he couldn't provide. But her situation was very different to Elle's. Elle's was a depressing situation, a very depressing one. All she wanted to do was help the girl, but Elle hadn't even said the father's name to her. She'd always say she didn't know who he was, but you could tell by the sadness in her eyes that she did know; and it was tearing her apart. There was a loud clap as Casey shut his book. "Right, I'm going 'round Ly's. You two and your depressingness is getting waaay too much for me." He chuckled as he packed up his stuff.
"What do you mean?" Immy inquired, tilting her head slightly. "I though they were getting along well, for once." At this moment Lake started to awaken, although from the distance of the hallway it wasn't really noticeable. Her eyes were barely open but she was fully concious of her surroundings in that surreal way that you are in the void between wake and sleep.
OOC- I'll do it. "You really need to start looking for a job Elly." Conni sighed, stroking her daughter's hair. She was sat just behind her on the sofa looking over her eldest daughter and her toddler. "Me and your Dad can't support you forever sweetie, we're having money trouble ourselves now." "I know..." Elle replied quietly. She had her little girl on her lap and every so often, when she was prompted by a frustrated squeak, she handed the child a raisin from the box she had in her hand. "It's just not easy, I don't have any qualifications at all. No one wants me..." "There's got to be something somewhere. Maybe you could get some muggle stuff? I mean there's no reason why not. Or perhaps some bar work." Casey tuned in from the other side of the room where he was sat reading some large book for his training at St. Mungo's. Unlike his sister Casey did have some prospects of a good job, he was working towards being a Healer, like his mother he hand an natural aptitude to medicinal magic.
