I rolled my wheel chair up to Shelby's too familar front door. Actually, I was surprised just how familar it looked after the amount of time I've spent avoiding it as of late. But she hadn't been to see me, I thought she had the right to know that I wasn't dying.. if she didn't know already at least.
My healer, after a couple more days, was finally satisfied enough with my well-being, that he let me leave the hospital. Though, I had to promise to use my wheel chair.. and to take my medication.. and to follow the rules he's given me for living.
Though the past couple days have been dragging by a conserable amout more than before speaking to Arden. Who, once again, has decided that she didn't want to be with me.. but with Logan again. Which of in itself I didn't even understand. Especially seeing and witnessing how she was acting toward me when she told me that she loved me.
I was actually mad at her.. and I hated that. Pretty much more than anything right now.
I lifted up a hand and knocked on Shelby's front door as I continued to think about everything.
Could anything ever go my way?
I knew that I got my way with the living... and that was nice, but couldn't I for once just get to stay as happy as I was for that day or so when I thought that Arden actually wanted to be with me? Or.. well, stay with me.

Things have once again spiraled out of her hands. Draven had been gone longer and longer at work, meanwhile it seemed that Andra was ignoring her after their experimentations. Again she was by herself in this big empty house. Sure, she renovated the whole thing like she always wanted, but it felt even more empty now that she had no one to share it with.
Seeing as it was just Shell in the house today, she was just in a dark purple dress that was on her upper thigh and a white silk robe and her curls down around her. She was sitting at the breakfast table, nibbing lightly on a piece of toast once she heard the door being knocked on.
Getting up, she walks over barefoot over to the door and opens it looking down at Riley. Covering herself up instantly she tucks a curl behind her ear unsucessfully. "Hey Riley... Riley!" she says realizing that he was alright and not gone from her life. "How are you? How are you feeling? Come in, come in!" she says with a bright smile.

I smiled faintly to her when the door opened and secretly wished that I could go home now. Home sounded incredibly nice. But I guess I sort of had to smile up to shelby.
"I'm alright." I said with a small shrug over to her, starting to wheel myself into her house. "How're you?"

"Eh, okay I guess. But you have to be feeling wonderful seeing as you're no longer in a hospital bed dying..." she says looking at him before sitting down in a big blue chair in the living room so they could look at each other without making it weird. With him being in a wheelchair, she was taller than him for a change and she didn't like it. "How did they heal you?"

I shrugged again, "I've ha a rough couple of days is all." I said as I wheeled myself a bit more in, near some other furniture when I saw Shelby sit down. The rough couple of days which contributed to more than likely messing things up with my best friend, being broken up with in a sense, being in pain and having to take this medication which overall makes me fairly loopy.
"Um.. Slowly?" I asked with a faint chuckle, which really didn't last too long. "My healer told me, but I really can't remember much of the details.."

"Well that's understandable seeing as they were healing you." she says with a faint nod before letting the white robe go and open a little bit. She laughs a bit, shaking her head at him. "Of course they did that slowly... otherwise they would have done more harm than good." Shell says smiling at him a little. "Did you want some water or anything to eat?"

I nodded faintly, deciding it probably best not to mention the rest of it.. I was alive.. I was in a great mood... before I spoke to Arden, now I just couldn't shake that feeling... of who knows what anymore... unpleasantness? Upset? Something along those lines..
I shrurgged a little bit, "I dunno.. maybe not.. it was all luck anyway." managing a weak smile toward her. "Um.. maybe some water would be nice." I said with a small smile up to her.

"Luck or not, I'm glad you're okay." she says lightly with a smile back at him. "Okay then. One water, coming up." Shell adds as she gets up and goes into the kitchen. After getting a glass and filling it half way, she walks back and hands him the glass. "There you go. So how did the girls take the news and your parents?"

I smiled faintly back and nodded a bit, "Thanks.. I am too." I said looking up to her a moment. I nodded faintly again when she said the water was coming up and take the glass from her when she comes back in. "Thanks." I said with another small smile, before taking a sip from the glass.
"Um.. they're happy?" I asked laughing faintly. "I dunno.. how else could you take it?"

"I don't know. Make you realize the things that make you the most happy and things you took for granted?" she says with a faint shrug. "That's what Nick told me when he came back before and the same for Draven, but yours is completely different of course. So have you spoken to anyone since being out of the hospital besides family?"

"Yeah, but you asked about my family.. not me." I said with a faint smile and small shrug.
I nodded faintly, "Well, it makes sense.. And yeah, I saw Arden." I said with a small nod.

"That's good?" she says slowly about the Arden part. She knew how that was going and she didn't like it one bit. Arden constantly breaking his heart with false hope repeatedly. "Was that a good or bad thing love?"

I shrugged, "It was good at first." I said sort of quietly. "It didn't last very long."

Shell nods before biting her lip. "Riley... I think you should stop having so much faith that Arden will actually leave Logan. Sometimes I think she likes to mess with you to be honest." she says softly before leaning forward and kissing his cheek. "You need to find someone who won't play with your emotions."
[[ XDD woooo!]]

"She told me she was leaving him, Shelby. She said that there was a ninety percent chance that she was going to.. she said she loved me and she kissed me." I said looking over to her, this being a sort of sore subject with me right now. "She sounded pretty sure..."
She kissed my cheek and I shrugged faintly, "She doesn't mean to, Shelby."
[[ weeee ]]

"Wow... just wow. She did all that and still went back to him? Riley maybe you shouldn't talk to her for a while, just long enough so you can recover from your what, fifth time?" she asks before sighing lightly. "I think you just need to find someone who won't mess with your heart is all."

I nodded faintly at her question. "I'm already doing that." I told her sort of quietly with a faint shrug. I didn't really want to be though. I still felt weird for leaving things the way we did and I wanted things back to normal. "She knows I don't like her much right now.. and I've already told her never to kiss me again."
"Well, if you find out a good way to find someone like that, you let me know."

"I wouldn't be too fond of her either after all of this." she says before nodding at everything he was saying. Shell smiles a little before kissing his cheek again. "I promise."

"I still love her.. just, don't like her much right now is all.." I said sort of quietly. She smiled and kissed my cheek again and I shook my head faintly, not really getting where she was coming from with that. "What do you promise?"

Post by Shelby Crescent on Apr 8, 2009 0:15:54 GMT
"That's understandable..." she says just as quiet before biting her lip. "I'll let you know if I'll find someone for you, that I think is good enough for you, not someone who will hurt you." she says still quietly, knowing he wasn't going to pick up on the hint after this.

I paused for a moment and then nodded a little bit. "Thanks Shelby." I said giving her a faint smile. For a second I thought she was coming onto me or something, but now that she's said that I didn't think she was.

She smiles at him again before biting her lip. "Someone who has experience with your situations, someone who's felt your pains, happy moments, someone like me." she says softly before sighing lightly as she moved over to his lips and kissed them lightly for a second before almost gasping at herself. "Did. I. just. wow." she says leaning back up and walking into the kitchen.
She walks over to the fridge and takes out a sealed bottle of vodka. Pouring some into a glass, she takes a drink and another before walking back into the living room with another glass. "You want some?"

I listened to her ramble and got a slightly confused look on my face when she said someone like her. I'm not sure I would ever want to be with someone like her. Especially considering we generally don't get along very well.
She kissed me a moment later though and being a bit more than shocked sort of just stared forward with my eyes open. She pulled away and I just blinked and kept staring at her. She walked into the kitchen a moment later and when she came back out I looked over to her. "Yeah, just a bit." I knew I wasn't supposed to, but I think this may have called for it. I'm sure a little bit wouldn't kill me.

"Sorry about that... I really have no clue why on Earth I did that..." she says before pouring some of the vodka into a glass and handing it to him as she herself was already working on her third glass. "So um." she says awkwardly before biting her lip and staring at him.

I took the drink of her and stared at it for a second before just drinking it. I knew I should not have done that, but I really didn't think that one drink was going to do anything. I shook my head slightly, still being a bit speechless. "What the hell, Shelby?"

"I really don't know Riley... just nothing has been going right, just keep getting my heart broken repeatedly. I wasn't thinking alright? You want another?" she asks offering him the bottle as she poured herself another drink.

"Well, so do I, but I don't go around kissing people." Kissing cousins, technically. "fine." I shook my head faintly, still feeling very weird about this, so I just nodded, "Yeah, maybe one more."

"Well I'm sorry that I didn't even think before doing that." she mutter back at him, before pouring some more vodka into his glass.

"Sorry, this is just... weird." I said shaking my head a little bit, watching as she poured another glass and I drank this one as well, thinking that two glasses should probably be my limit.

"Of course it's weird... I wouldn't even think of kissing you Riley." she says shaking her head as she finished the sixth glass in her hand. Once Shell started drinking she couldn't really stop. "You really shouldn't be drinking with all that medicine you're taking... although it's a little late for that isn't it?"
