Welcome to Gaia! ::

A sliver car pulled up outside Liam's garage, The engine was cut and the door was opened. Ignus shut the door and walked up to the opened garage door." Hey Liam!"he said with a big smile and a wave"Here's your cut for helping me with the improved chassis design"he said as he then looked around at all the people in the garage.

Eliza looked at the one called Victor. She tried to push the new timid version of herself into the recess of her mind and summon the older more confident version of herself. What came out was a stuttered whisper. "Y-yeah. I'm new here." She pulled the light hoodie she put on earlier tighter around her as if it could protect her. When the door shut she about jumped out of her skin. At risk of the other boy stomping out her cigarette again she pulled one out and lit it. Inhaling deeply she let the nicotine work on her nerves, calming her enough to were she wasn't shaking anymore. "I'm just gonna step outside with this..."She muttered more to herself. She didn't want to go home yet because Ren and Lenore were having a fight when she left so she figured she'd finish the cigarette and go inside. Maybe make some new friends.

"Hm, Maybe." Nymeria looked around the girls room, "I have so many books on my reading list already it's not even funny but what's the harm to add one more." She shoved her hands into her pockets, feeling a little out of place here as she walked to her bookshelf. It resembled her own bookshelf in her room, full of books but too small to hold anymore. Nymeria was surprised she hadn't lost any of them yet.

She was looking over the girls shelf when her phone suddenly started playing the Game of Thrones opening. There was no name to the number but she did recognize it, so she just turned the sound off and shoved it back into her pocket. An old 'friend' she no longer wanted to talk to. "Must be that time again." She mumbled to herself and rolled her eyes as her phone started ringing again. "I'm sorry," Nymeria looked at Aeowyn "I have to take this and I don't want to leave you waiting."

"My name is Victor. I live my cousin in an apartment nearby." he spoke after she returned. He already started eating some tacos. Though carefully not to make a huge mess. Even though he probably should have waited to get home before eating.

"We'll see each other again." Nymeria stated, looking at the number flashing on her phone until it finally went to voice mail. "My names Nymeria, by the way." She smiled the half smile she always did. The number came flashing on her phone again and she sighed with a little bit of annoyance. Why couldn't she just ignore the people who hurt her? Because you feel guilty, she answered for herself as she walked to the door. "I'll see you tomorrow." She stepped outside and started walking down the steps as she brought the phone to her ear. It wasn't what she expected at all.

Instead of hearing the familiar voice of her old friend, Tess, whom she still loved dearly in some part of her heart she heard her bog brothers voice ringing with urgency over the phone. Nymeria had hardly gotten a word in when he finally told her "Nymeria, Arylynn passed away." There seemed to be chains that whipped out, cocooning her heart and squeezing it. It became heavy, along with shortness of breath. "How." She managed to get out in breathless whisper. "Hung herself.." He said quietly, Nymeria felt the sting in her eyes and she let the tears fall. Slowly, she sat in the middle of the stairs and took the phone from her ear, hanging up on her brother. Though she didn't wrench over with sobs, tears streamed down her cheeks in silence. Her mind whirled with questions that would never be answered. She didn't even know how to deal with this news. She sat confused and sad on the stairs, making not one sound. Then accusations came. I should have been there. her inner self told her. It was true. You could've saved her. and finally If you didn't leave, maybe she would be alive still. Finally, her stomach wrenched and her tears streamed down faster. A light sob forced out and more started coming.

Nymeria knew her sister had a cynical way of looking at life, at herself. Arylynn was much like Nymeria with that. There was a darkness that held them both inside. A darkness that always seemed to linger in the back of their mind even on good days but she didn't know it'd gotten this bad. If Nymeria would've stayed at home, she'd been gone long ago but she'd rather it be herself than her dear little sister.

"Oh yeah, that's Liam" He spoke. "Nice guy I think. Surprising how he manages to get good grades though." He noticed the eyepatch. But decided not to mention it. Figured that it would probably be a touchy subject.

Eliza raised an eyebrow about Liam's comment. Another name? She decided not to mention it. "Well thanks for the water." She waved good bye and left the shop. She had managed to meet some new people before school started. It was a wonder she hadn't freaked out and started crying or something stupid. She began her walk home, hand on her knife the whole way.
