Florida: Take 3

Julia: *averts her gaze from alice hugging Sam, not quiet sure what to do.* Alice, I'm sorry.

Lucian: *whispers in Julia's ear* What happened?

Julia: *shivers slightly* Later Lucian. *goes to the bathroom and grabs some toliet paper, comes back and hands it to Alice.* Here ya go. *Stand nexts to Sam, and rubs alice's back.someone knocks on the door*

Lucian: I'll get it. *opens it* Evaline......

Evaline: HI GUYS!! *big grin, dark eyes dart between Julia and Lucian*

Julia: *tense and mumbles* I think I'm gonna vomit....*louder* Hey.....evaline....whats...up? *relucatant*

Evaline: I followed you guys here and OH! is she okay?

Lucain: *grabs Evaline's arm tightly* Its time to go, come on. *looks back at Julia and nods slightly, leaves with evaline in tow.*

Julia: I'm sorry alice, if you want I can talk to rory..

Alice:*face still in sam's chest, shakes her head no. She feels like a child but she can't help it*

Sam: *Looks up at Julia* How d'you know what happened. *Rests his chin gently on Alice's head* Alice... what happened? Please, talking will make you feel better. *Wraps his arms loosely around her in a hug* Al...

Julia: sorry...I assumed. *swallows* You know what maybe it would be better if I left. My rooms only two doors down. So yeah.....um......bye. *squeezes Alice's shoulder and walks towards the door*

Alice: *finally lifts head a little* No...it's fine...stay. *takes a deep shuddering breath and pulls away from Sam. Goes to sit on the bed* Just...give me a minute. *tries to get herself under control*

Sam: *Strokes Alice's hair* Whatever it is... It'll get better, I promise, okay?

Rory: *Has cried herself to sleep. She wishes to god that Jen would wake her up and tell her everything. Just every single thought and feeling the girl has in her head... what had happened was so peculiar. But Rory did not believe in true love or love at first sight*

Alice:It...it was Rory. *whispering, so he won't hear her voice crack* I...saw her. I saw her with--with Jennia. *bites bottom lip to keep from crying*

Sam: *Feels guilty for already knowing and he swallows the lump in his throat, quickly furrowing and unfurrowing an eyebrow* How'd it happen? What happened exactly, Alice. C'mon, tell us everything, okay?

Alice: I...saw her. Kissing Jennica. And she saw me and...she told Jennica that...that she didn't know me anymore. *bites lower lip again, this time hard enough to draw blood*

Sam: *Wipes the blood away from Alice's mouth* Are you sure that's it? How'd she say it... she surely couldn't have meant what she said.

Alice: when Jennica...when she asked who I was, Rory...rory said that she didn't know me anymore. And she ment it. She said it real...real angry.....*voice trails off, then says in barely a whisper* Oh Sam...I don't know what to do. I don't know who I am anymore...

Sam: *Strokes Alice's hair* God I'm sorry... She was thinking something else though as well, I just know she was. Okay? That's just... just something she'd say when trying to protect herself.

Julia: *not quiet sure what to say, stands by the front door, leans against the wall,* Alice I'm sure Sam is right.

ALice: I...I hope so.

Sam: me too *thinks*

Jen: *swallows and sits on the bed, then starts stroking Rory's hair. She'd had a hard enough day. She just needed to sleep. And that's what Jen was going to let her do. But she'd stay by her side, fuck the convention. Fuck those superficial bitches that only pretended to need her. Rory actually needed her. For once in her life. Someone actually needed her. And so she'd stay, by Rory's side. All through the night. She didn't need sleep enough to stop watching over her.* Rory? *strokes the girl's cheek, thinking she can't hear her because she was asleep but she needed to tell her anyway* I didn't believe in love at first sight until I met you. It's weird. It's like I've known you forever. I feel like we're old friends. I feel hurt when you hurt. And seeing you like this right now breaks my heart. *bites her lip. Was she really saying this?* I know I have self esteem issues, but you actually make me feel good about myself. No one's ever done that. And... I want to stay with you. I don't mean... tonight. I don't mean... another one night stand. I mean, stay with you. I really feel like there's something there. Between us. *keeps stroking her cheek and hair* I love you, Rory. And I think I really really love you. Like for good. *runs a hand over her face* God, what am I saying? You don't even... you probably would think I was crazy if you were actually hearing me. I'm an idiot to think that something like this would work. I mean, I don't even know if you feel the same way. I think you do, but I don't know for sure.

Rory: *Mumbles in her sleep, wanting her eyelids to open... but they're too heavy. She runs as fast as she can through the empty streets. She can hear growls behind her, but no matter how fast she runs... it keeps running to her- catching her by the heels. In her dream Rory was bloody and dying. Tears stream down her cheeks in real life... all she needed was to be woken up and told that either everything she said tonight was a lie... or everything she ever wanted to know about Jen*

Jen: *frowns when she notices a flicker in Rory's expression, and then suddenly felt the need to wake up the beauty.* Rory? *gently shakes her* Baby?

Rory: *Screamed in her sleep as hands in her dreams come to grasp her and take her away* JEN! *Tosses and turns* JEN! *Tosses and turns, the dream taking over her head as her brain scratches at her eyeballs to open. All she needed was to know what she wanted... why was Jen so insecure? What made her hate her legs? Just more... more... more... before she did die... before this dream became such a horrid reality that she had dreamt for months. How come every relationship she had bombed? What was wrong with her?*

Jen: *gathers her up in her arms* Rory! Wake up! *cradles her* Wake up, please.

Rory: *Lays limp, then eyes snap open. Her eyes are bloodshot and she's crying. Her head lifts into Jen's chest as she hugs her* I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... God... God... don't go... please... please... Don't go... I do believe in love at first sight... I do... I do... Don't leave... please... don't... don't... *bawls into Jen's chest*

Jen: *frowns and runs her hand up and down Rory's back* Who said anything about leaving?

Rory: *Puts arms around Jen's neck* Just don't leave... don't leave... not like everyone else left.

Jen: *rocks her slightly* I won't leave you, ok?

Rory: *Nods* Speak to me again... just talk to me... I wanna hear your beautiful voice... That sexy drawl in my ear... *Tears begin to slow down but are still drifting out from her eyes*
