Ecko - Graffiti Artist As promised, Jamie had made him a plate, and even went the extra mile to tuck a napkin in his lap. "It wasn't polite to dirty your pants" she had said. She beamed at him from across the table, and while the girls chatted, Ecko tucked into his dinner. "Damn." He exclaimed and looked up at Miranda chewing the bite of meatloaf he had taken. "You made this yourself?" Miranda furrowed her brow, seemingly offended by the question.

When dinner was finished, Miranda had Jamie set the table, and it pained her to watch as Jamie made so many extra efforts for their brother's attention. Ecko was oblivious of course to the obvious signs of need their little sister was exhibiting, but Miranda wasn't quite sure what to do about it. She often missed Ecko to when he would spend weeks at a time away, and especially when he had been locked up for those couple of years. She had to fight feelings of resentment most times when thinking about her brother because she couldn't afford to lose anymore important people in her life, especially if it was going to be her doing if she couldn't control her emotions. With a smile, and the plates finally being filled, Miranda slid into her seat and watched as Jamie tucked a napkin in Ecko's lap. He seemed to scoff internally at the 'prim and proper' idea that Jamie set forth, but didn't reject it. "Jam, sit down now and eat." Miranda told her as she still lingered by their big brother. "Hey!" Jamie exclaimed, sitting down in her seat and tucking a napkin into her own lap. "Today Miss Reignie told us about the book fair!! It's back again!""Oh yeah?" Miranda replied. "Yeah! Can I get a book? Please!" Jamie begged. "Well, when is the fair?" Jamie shrugged, and began to think hard, trying to remember the dates. "Well didn't she give out the flyer?" Miranda asked, which made Jamie jolt up in her seat with a big grin. Before she could dash off into the living room and to her backpack where the flyer would be, Ecko distracted her. "Damn!" He exclaimed, and looked up at Miranda chewing the bite of meatloaf he had taken. "You made this yourself?" Miranda furrowed her brows, seemingly offended by the question. "Of course I did. Maybe if you were around a bit more, you'd see more delicious meals." Miranda's unintentional jab seemed to fall on deaf ears, which was good. It saved her the guilt. Ecko shrugged and continued chowing down, while Jamie went on about school.

∝╬══→ єммα мαsσи  Emma bounced past Cyrus into the establishment as he held the door for her, and got into the line. She shivered slightly from the cool air in the building. She had been cold enough outside, but now she really was freezing. She would deal with it though. Hopefully a nice toasted sandwich would warm her enough for the time being.
Cyrus motioned for her to go first, and when it was her turn she pointed out her ingredients of choice. She ended up with turkey on Italian herb and cheese bread, toasted, with lettuce, pickles and olives. It was kind of plain, but Emma didn't like to get too crazy with her food. After she gave the lady at the register her money, she stood to the side to wait for Cyrus to finish before finding a seat. ❥ Mais dis-moi adieu demain.
❥ Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin.
❥ Vas voir les autres, je n'en pense rien.
❥ Je t'ai aimé, mais je t'assure que c'est la fin... {{ OOC: Haha okay. I think I'm gonna make a character that's good friends with both of them and he'll kind of be the "connecting" piece or something. I have like.... Half a character in mind already lol The only decision I have left to make is whether he's a nice guy or more of a bad boy XD And yeah, I feel that haha with stuff like this I tend to go a little overboard on the character making too~ although I don't really have any long term ideas for most of them yet. Like, Hadley I have a few big ideas for, mostly involving her pill popping XD but otherwise I only have minor ideas right now .-. }}

☜===☸===☞ Jack walked down the street, hoping he might bump into one of his friends, but not really expecting to with how busy the city was. He had gone out early, and planned to stay out. He had already tried to text Wes, but there was no answer. He paused walking for a minute and pulled out his phone again. Jack scrolled down in his contacts until he got to the "M"s, and then clicked Miranda's name. The message box popped up on his screen. Hey. What's up? He typed, wondering if she would be busy or not.
He had overheard a few kids at school the other day talking about some party that was going on, and he didn't really care to go alone, but if none of his friends would answer him he supposed he would have to. As long as it kept him out until his parents were in bed.
Ever since Jack had found out about the affair his father was having with Wesley's mom, he had a hard time being around his parents. It killed him, but he really had no proof, other than that he had been home once when Wesley's mom had come over. His father had thought he was at school, but he hadn't gone that day. His lack of proof was the same reason he hadn't told Wes about it yet either. Miranda was the only one Jack had talked to. How could he accuse their parents of something this big without the evidence to bring to the table? Everyone would just think he was making it up for attention or something. He was sure his dad would be able to play it off easily. Jack sighed and continued down the road, waiting to see if he got a response from Miranda. ☽╠══━━══╣☾ ❝I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn't know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn't understand. ❞

 Miranda MacyMiranda started on washing the after-dinner dishes after sending the reluctant Jamie into the bathroom for her shower before bed. Jamie hadn't wanted to go, because of course she feared that Ecko wouldn't be around when she got out, but Miranda was going to make a point to get him to stay if only to see their little sister off to bed. As she walked into the living room to scan for any loose cups or bowls, her phone went off. With a soft breath she unlocks and checks the text she received. "You're boyfriend?" Ecko grinned from the couch where he was relaxing watching tv. Miranda only scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Why don't you just focus on tucking Jam into bed tonight? I'll have the locks changed if you bail on her." She replied, turning back into the kitchen. Ecko merely frowned before turning his gaze back to the tv. Hey. What's up? it read Not mch. Doing dishes. getting rdy 2 do my hmewrk. hbu? She texted back.

Cyrus Alman Cyrus followed behind her, building his sandwich by word of mouth until the cashier had it bagged and read for him. He paid the girl, and found a seat with Emma, sitting across from her. Without much for him to talk about, and never having been good at small talk, he just opened his sandwich and bit into it. ((Was wondering, if there is nothing else for us to do, do you want to Time skip to the party with Cyrus?
They can meet up outside of the foster home and wait or be in the car with Tyler and his brothers(who would be taking them to the party))

☜===☸===☞ A few feet later, Jack's phone pinged in his pocket. He quickly pulled it back out and scanned over Miranda's text. Taking a walk. He sent first. He knew she would understand from just that that it had been to get away from the situation at home. He never really put anything about his and Wesley's parents in his texts in case anyone got a hold of it.
Jack wasn't sure whether to bring up the party already, or if he should talk to her about it in person. He was eager to have something to do, though, to keep his mind from wandering so much. It was all really stressing him out.
Care if I stop by? He finally sent, deciding that might be better. He hadn't done his homework yet, either, but he didn't think he would be able to sit still long enough in his current state of mind. ☽╠══━━══╣☾ ❝I like songs about drifters - books about the same.

"That was a good call." She said, referring to the meal choice. "Ready to head back?" Emma asked, rising from her seat to throw her trash away. ❥ Mais dis-moi adieu demain.

Miranda Macy
Miranda had started filling up the sink with dishes and soapy water when a reply came. she dries off her hands to answer the text. Sure. c** on ovr. she replied, and slipped her phone back inot her pocket. After that she began to rush through the dishes, hoping to finish with them before Jack came over. Having chores and friends over sucks in her opinion. It didn't take too long, and halfway through Jamie had finished her shower and came bounding out straight to her to let her know, and then went off to hound their brother. She heard Jamie giggling while Ecko joked with her, and then heard them go into Jamie's room so that he could tuck her in. Miranda was sure that Ecko wouldn't be able to get out any time soon. Between 'story time', and checking for monsters, and then more of Jamie's 'life questions' on why their family is the way it is, it'd probably be a good hour before Ecko was set free. After the dishes were finished, Miranda wiped down the small dinner table and set her homework onto it. She also had a few college prep forms to fill out, and a bunch of information to read if she did indeed try to apply to any college. College was a tougher decision than it needed to be considering her personal responsibility to Jamie.

☜===☸===☞ Jack's pocket pinged again and he swiped open Miranda's text, confirming that it was alright for him to come over. He let out a small sigh of relief at not having to wander around the darkening city alone any longer, and headed off in the direction of his friend's apartment building.
It took him about fifteen minutes to walk there from where he had started, but he finally made it, taking the stairs up to the 4th floor, where Miranda's apartment was. He knew she had a mom, older brother, and younger sister, but Jack considered the place hers, since she seemed to be the one running things for the most part. He had never even met her mom or her brother, only her sister Jamie.
Jack reached the door to her apartment and knocked, with just a little too much force. ☽╠══━━══╣☾ ❝I like songs about drifters - books about the same.

 ✲I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone.
And there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go.
And I'm going there to see my mother.
And I'm going there no more to roam.
And I'm only going over Jordan.
And I'm only going over home now...✺ Ｃｏｒａｌ When the redhead addressed her, Coral realized she had fallen just a little too far behind, and hurriedly caught up to the rest of the group. "Sorry, I was a little distracted." She admitted, trying to cover for her odd behavior. She would try to play it off as spacing out. She perked up a bit when the boy spoke. "A party? I love parties!" Coral exclaimed. They were a perfect place to snatch some food and not have to worry about getting caught. Plus, she could usually find some valuables she would be able to pawn off later for a bit of cash in her pockets when she really needed it.❉And I know dark clouds will gather me,
And I know my way is rough and steep.
And the beautiful fields that lie just beyond me,
And I know my needs are rough and steep.✺ ❉And I'm going there|to see my mother.
And I'm going there|no more to roam.
And I'm only going|over Jordan.
And I'm only going|over home now.✲

Miranda Macy
The knock at the door jolted her out of her worries, and she remained startled for a good few seconds before she realized that it must've been Jack. She stood from the table, and dropped her black pen. Walking over to the door, and checking the peephole first, Miranda opened it, and gave Jack a smile. "Hey, that was pretty loud, Jack. Tone it down next time." She lightly chastised the older boy. She stepped aside to let him in and closed the door behind him, noticing Ecko standing in the hallway. The shadows cast on him, made him appear sinister, and he seemed on edge like he was prepared to attack. This personally helped Miranda feel incredibly safe, but she needed to calm him down. "It's just my friend." She told him with a smile meant to put him at ease."

#FF3333Ecko, relaxed and watching WWE on the tube was suddenly disturbed by Jamie. He wasn't thinking of much, but it wouldn't mater if he had, because the young girl immediately demanded all of his attention. She came storming in, her hair still wet from the shower, and her night gown damp from her hair. "Glen!" She exclaimed, her hyper activity obvious as she dove onto the couch next to him. She pressed her little body against his side, and wrapped her arms around him in a big hug. "Hey little sister." He replied, a half smirk on his face and he wrapped his arm around her. Simultaneously picking her up and standing, Ecko carried her to her bedroom which wasn't exactly furnished to the core. The wall paper had faded long ago, and now began to peel around the edges of the ceiling, and the carpet was stiff. She had lots of toys though, and her bed and dresser were about 4 years old, but still in decent condition. Jamie was apparently a stickler for taking care of her stuff. He laid her on the bed and she began to squirm and burrow under her Disney princess covers, beaming up at him. "Would you read me a story?" She asked, her eyes bright, pointing over at the tiny bookshelf on top of her dresser. Ecko seriously doubted that she was ready for bed, because he couldn't see a bit of sleep in her eyes. He stood and studied the books, some of them impressively big for her age, and picked up one that had an accumulation of children's bedtime stories inside. "Alright, but sit still." He replied as he opened the book. He was in the middle of the first story about some butterfly princess when he stiffened at the sound of the a loud, harsh knock. He looks over at Jamie who was watching him with wide eyes. "Stay here. I'll be right back." He told her. She nodded silently, her own heart racing and pulled the covers up to her chin while watching him leave the room. Ecko stopped in the hallway which opened up to the living room and front door and watched as Miranda went to open the door. He had his knife ready to go in case their mother had brought more trouble into their lives. Ecko watched her invite the guy in, and close the door looking over at him. He nodded at her words, but remained tense, watching carefully as Miranda led her friend into the kitchen.
