Cam Hughes had woken lat ethat morning. What did it matter though? It was a Saturday in the Hell hole that was Blue Heights, Montana. She wore a pair of red pajam shorts and a white tank top with little pink hearts on it. Her feet were bare and the dreadful amount of heat in Blue Heights was beginning to drive Cam mad while she'd only been there a week or so.
She slipped into the kitchen where she poured herself a bowl of some gorcery store name brand cereal that Ran had gotten. She sat at a bar stool at the counter. She took a bite of her cereal and remembered mornign where her mom used to make pancakes. She felt a strange waft of emotion as she realized her mom would never make pancakes again.
She stopped dead, in mid bite, and tried to calm the realization to nothing again. She wondered if Jay felt that way. He'd be the only one who udnerstood how she felt anyway. She really missed her parents. Did he too? Where the Hell was her twin brother? |

Jay awoke with the usual signs of morning grogginess and his calm morning face. He got up from the bed in a rather tired state. Feeling like he would rather go back to bed again. Though, he knew that he could not do that. No one would be there to awaken him. So, Jay hopped out of bed, and started up his shower, only taking ten minutes. Then he went right out and put on his short sleeve shirt and shorts. It was the only way that Jay would be able to stand the heats that were in Blue Heights.
He then headed for the kitchen, selection pancakes from the freezer. Jay did that a lot, even if it reminded him of all the mornings that his mother used to make pancakes. He felt a bit emotional, but didn't show it that much, putting the frozen pancakes on a plate and cooking them. It was hard for him to bare, but he understood that this was his fault and he had to try to live on with it. When it was done, he sat beside his sister and started to eat his food. Though, he forgot his favorite thing syrup. As little attention as he got, his mother always used to get the syrup for him if he forgot.
"Shoot." He muttered under his breath and tried to be the hero in all of this. Jay knew that he had to try to be strong even if he was weak in this. Though, Jay also knew that at one point he would cave. The boy caved when his twin was around all of the time. He got the syrup from one of the cabinets and returned to his seat. "So, is the morning starting off ok for you today?" He knew he couldn't see a good day yet for either of them, but an ok day was as good as he wanted it. Both of them being good feelings wise they both knew was a bit of a stretch, even if they pretended to be. |

Cam ched him make his pancakes and sit down beside her. It hit her again. Yet another stupid waft of emotion. It made Cam slightly frustrated that she let herself be upset even though she knew Jay wouldn't criticize her for it. Then, his questions stung in her ears. "Hm, I don't know yet." She murmured lightly in response. She knew that he knew what she was thinking. Hell, they were twisn and just had that abstract connection like that!
She felt defensive suddenly. Cam didn't know how to feel. She jsut wished their parents were back so badly. She remembered talking to Beth, she knew it wasn't her fault. Some tiny little sliver of her blamed herself still though. She reached her fork over and took a bite of Jay's pancakes. She knew he'd never mind. Cam had always been the bold twin. She was rarely mellow and alwyas felt the need to make her presence known. Jay was the more quiet Hughes child by all means and this was but common knowledge to anyone who came into acquaintance with the family.
"Jay, distract me. I can't keep letting myself think about it and I need you to distract me." Cam knew that Jay knew that it meant their parent's deathes. She also knew that he'd come up with a good way to distract her. He was the only one who knew exactly what to say whenever Cam felt bad. Her twin was always good at being there for her like that. |

"How about I talk to you about something that I need help with?" Jay asked, but knew that he could probably say all that she needed to know about it, and Com would get right on to it. Cam was just like that, and it was one of the positive talents that she had. Plus, this would be a good way to distract them from what had happened to their parents. He ate a bit of his pancakes before speaking again during all this thought and then continued. "You see... I like this girl, and I know you have never heard me say i have liked one before..." Jay did not know how to continue it, he was even nervous to talk to his sister about it. Maybe that was just how bad it really was.
"See she is a popular girl, but the moment I saw her I felt like she was different, and I liked her the moment her eyes saw mine. I haven't been able to speak to her at all and I am too nervous. But I really want to buck up the courage." Jay said to Cam, hoping that she would get the idea of what the person was like by what he was saying. Cam and him had leadership abilities, and they both used them in their own ways. And he believed that the girl he liked... that sweet angel that she was... had an ability too. She seemed to give off a radiance of kindness that could not be ignored and he fell into a crush that was so hard to bare that he couldn't speak even when he was near her.
"So, could you help me?" He asked, sounding desperate for once in this life about a girl. He had before about other things, but never about a girl. The poor guy was in something that he knew he had no control over, and he knew when stuff hit him like this. It was going to effect his lifestyle for a long time. Jay just hoped that he wasn't willing enough to fall off a cliff just for a date with this girl. |
