((M'kay. Well, Angel scarfed down her food like usual. xD))

Angel sat on the couch again, smiling as she just had a full meal. Father was in his study while mom was in her room, redoing her nail polish. Angel was extremely bored, but she couldn't really go anywhere because she knew Zane would want to stay with his injured brother. She looked across the room and called to Zane and Jake. "Yo... You guys should come in here, keep me company."

Zane walked over and sat next to Angel. He smiled and laid his head on her lap. "Your mom's food is delisious!!!" He smile and curled up into a ball. Never in his whole life had he had a meal so big and delicous! "Hey, Jake.. Come on over here.. You look lonely."

Jake slowly stood up, clutching his stomach. "I agree with Zane. We've never had a meal so big. We get smaller portions because our father never bothers to buy enough for big helpings. I got used to it.. Zane didn't. He scarfed down my portion.." He sat next to his brother and looked at Angel. He smiled slightly, then looked at his brother.

((We need a girl for Jake... He's so lonely. xD))

Angel smiled and ran her fingers absentmindedly through his hair. "You did look kind of lonely over there," She said with a smile. "Well, I'm glad you both liked it... My mom doesn't get to entertain guests much so I think she enjoyed making it for you guys." Angel smied at Jake then down at Zane.

Jake smiled and looked at Zane. "Your such a child.. I don't think angel wants your head on her lap.." He rubbed Zane's back like he was a crying child. "Little bro, i'll be back right now.." He slowly stood up and walked toward John's study. "Umm Sir, are you doing anything right now? I need help up the stairs. I wana give Zane his gift.." He peeked his head in.

Zane pouted. "Jake doesn't know anything abotu it.."He smiled and looked at Angel. "That feels good. Jake did that to me when I would cry about him. Then he'd just simply say: It's not your fault. Don't cry for me.... I never understood what he meant..."

Angel gave a small laugh at Jake's words. She looked down at the pouting Zane and grinned. "I guess I somewhat understand..." Angel said sympathetically. As she combed through his hair, Angel started to realize how much she liked Zane, which was a lot. She felt herself blush thinking about it.

John looked up from his book, his gla.sses nearly falling off his nose. "Would you prefer me to get it for you?" He asked Jake with a smile. "It might be easier on your wounds..." John stood up and stretched, placing his novel on the side arm of the chair.

Zane looked at Angel when she blushed. "Your cute when your all red in the cheeks." He smiled childishly. "Do you mind explaining to me what you think? I'll ask Jake to explain it tonight before we go to bed.." He looked away and let her comb through his hair. It was soothing to him. Something his own brother did when he was crying after Jake was beat. She's always been here.

Jake looekd at John and nodded. "Please Sir, if it's not too much trouble." He gave a smile and held his stomach. "Oww.. Do you think he brok emy ribs?" He leaned against the wall and began to beeath a little heavy. "Damn him.."

Zane's words made Angel all the more happy, and nervous. "And I think he was just trying to protect you... Make it so you didn't have to cry, make it better..." Angel didn't know how to put what she thought into words. Maybe Jake had that motherly feeling she usually had around people. Angel sighed and looked at Zane, smiling as she did so.

John paused as he walked up the stairs. "I'll have a look at you after I come back down and you give Zane his gift," He said in a pleasent tone. John walked into the bedroom, carefully grabbed the lighter colored bear, and walked downstairs again. He handed Jake the bear and smiled. "Hope he likes it."

Jake smiled and nodded. "Thank you oh so much.. Im grateful for what you are doing for me and Zane." He slowly walked back to Zane and held out the teddybear. "Happen one day early birthday Zane... It should be the first one you;ve gotten to keep right?" Jake handed it to Zane then looked at Angel. "Your father is a nice man."

Zane took thee bear and snuggeled it. "OMG! Thank you so much Jake!! It's so fuzzy and soft and cuddly!" He nuzzled it and held it tightly. He looked at Angel. "Your father is a very nice man to get me and Jake a teddy bear.." He smiled. "This is my first one." He hugged it tightly."

Jake suddednly doubled over in pain and coughed. He placed his hand over his mouth but a small amount of blooed dripped from between his fingers. He slumped to the floor and was on his hands and knees. He coughed but not blood. His eyes wide in shock. B-Blood.. F-Frist time...

((What's wrong with him? xD And I have to go after this post. D:< Parents... ha))

Angel couldn't help but grin at the sight of Zane's happy face. It somewhat amazed her that he had never had a teddy bear before. A small thing that Jake said caught Angel's attention. "It's your birthday tomorrow?" She asked Zane, a small grin appearing on her face.

Angel turned around to the sound of Jake coughing. "Dad!" She yelled. "Dad!! Jake's... He needs your help!!" Angel jumped off the couch and went to crouch down to Jake's level.

John rushed in the room and saw the blood. "He's got to go to the hospital..." John said imidiately. "Angel, go start the car." He threw the keys to Angel and she rushed out the door that second. "Try to sit upright, Jake.." John said thoughtfully. "It will help with blood flow."

Josh smiled, and unwillingly let her go. He shivered, and started to wade back towards the beach, where his shirt was sitting in the sand. "A heater; sounds nice." he mumbled, eyes sparkling. His feet sunk into the sand, slowing his pace.

His breath swirled in front of him mouth, and his teeth chattered. "Damnit," he muttered. "It's freezing out here." He hugged himself to keep warm, shaking out his hair; it sent water flying everywhere.

Jace shrugged, using careful, steady fingers to pull out a piece of glas s. He frowned, and studied her carefully. "None of the pieces are too deep," he murmured. "I can pull them out now."

He pulled off his shirt, and then propped it under her foot. His cheeks grew hot, but explained, "Just so the bed doesn't bed too blood." He smiled, despite his worry, and started looking over her foot again. 

(( It's okay Pyro. o3o I didn't do anything without you; Sarah's still sleeping... So... xD ))

(( Hey Rocca; when do you think Jace'll break it to Sunni that he can turn invisible on commend? xD It's like, "By the way, o3o. I can turn invisible." "Um...Jace. What does that have to do with our current conversation? D: " ))
