The Roof...

[Kate]

Head up, look alive. No excuses this time.

One foot was placed on the very edge of the roof. Her slender hands were clutched on the inside of her black leather jacket. Those bright green eyes were closed as she breathed in the air. A pair of earphones were pressed in, the wire leading to one jacket pocket. There, held inside her fist, was her mp3player that she had had since her days at New York.

She not real. It's just your mind.

Her breathing was steady, calm for the first time in what seemed forever. The blonde had been in and out of the hospital...worried. She was sick almost every morning and hated the fact she had to go to that white walled place. Kate hated doctors.

This is it. Say goodbye.

The lyrics rang in her ears as she stood there. Her hair was pulled back in a braid. Away from her face, and hung over one shoulder. Under her jacket she wore a simple black tank top paired with a comfy pair of tight jeans. Her feet were covered with black converse. Comfy...becase all pregnant women wanted to be comfortable.

Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off. Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off. Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off. Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off.

Kate McHallin was trying to relax. It was hard with the need to puke over the side of the roof...but the cleaner air was helping her a little. There was no one smoking up here, and no one with horrid morning breath. Just her and her mp3player. Kate kept the song on repeat. She loved the English punk band the Ropes. But something was on her mind.

She's the voice in your head. That says stay in bed.

If life was leading her this way.... what would she do? She was going to have a child....correction...children. The last visit to her doctor had told her as much. Twins he said. As if one wasn't enough for her to want to pull her hair out at. God or the gods must be laughing at her. The only explanation. And her only friend was Vale....

She tells you your weak. You don't need her critique.No she's not worried now, cuz she knows you'll back down.

She needed him. Needed him to hold her...but she had been avoiding him. Why? Because she didn't want to fall back into that trap. The trap where she leaned on the closest male....and ended up falling for them. The blonde didn't want to depend on a man like that again...but her heart hurt because of it. Once her mother had told her that she was a female....and that love was just as much apart of them as the color of their hair. But she still hated the feeling....because everyone had left. Everyone. Slowly.

Don't help her out. Why do you keep her around?

Kate sighed and turned....then stopped. The door was opening and some one was coming onto the roof. Now the question was...friend or foe? Considering she had only one friend.... Kate frowned and let go of her mp3player. She just might need to fight....

Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off. Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off. Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off. Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her off.

((ooc: I really don't want a fight, but a good rp where Kate could possibly make a friend that she needs. <3! ))

Ugh, damnable.. Wait, what am I complaining about again?

It took a while for me to even figure out where I was going.. I looked down as I went through the door to the roof, unaware of anyone around me. My hands were pocketed in my blue cargo pants, and I wore a plain white T-shirt over my torso. I sighed, I was pretty bored, and I couldn't remember where I was, what I was doing, or what I was complaining to myself about, obviously.

I gently pushed open the door, taking a few steps out, and I shut it with my foot. I looked up at the sky, and backed and let myself fall against the wall next to the door, and finally I'd noticed someone else on the roof. "I shouldn't bother her.." I said quietly to myself, pushing my head against the wall.

"Maybe that's why she came out here.."

I thought about it for a few minutes, and pushed myself off of the wall. It couldn't hurt, could it? Well, it might, if I did something wrong, but otherwise, I doubt it would. I slowly walked over to the girl, making sure not to get to close, and placed my hands on the ledge of the roof.

"Um.. Hello?"

[[OoC: If you dun like this post I can edit/delete. ^^;]]

[Kate]

Those bright green eyes bored into the newcomer. She was trying to decide if he would try to hurt her or not. Kate was like a wounded animal stuck in a corner, trying to decide if the next living thing by her was friendly or not. To bite or not.

Slowly her hands relaxed, and she pulled an earbud from her ear as the music continued to flow. She relaxed, and stood there looking at him for awhile. Taking in his clothes, smile, stance... she had done such things once as a high ranking gang member. Now she did it to understand people better. Maybe he wasn't a threat after all.

"Hello."

There was a little smile on those glossed lips, Kate was relaxed. She looked back across the campus and just stood there. Then he bright eyes glanced back to him, and stayed there.

"So...what brings you to the roof? I promise not to stop any suicide jumps if you really want to try."

Her humor was twisted like her life. Led down so many harsh paths, and bridges that just bogged her down. Kate needed some one to make her laugh, and some one to help drag her from the bottom of the dismal lake she was sinking in. This was her sad attempt of being friendly.

[eiki]

Crude humor, oh well. Didn't matter much, I needed to get away from everything for a while.. My brown eyes shifted from the sky, down the ledge, and to the girl. "Needed to get away." This was the first time I'd stepped foot in 259, but still. Things were complicated, and I just felt like taking a break from it all, and that's, of course, why I left 552.

"So, what about you?"

Trying to be friendly again. Well, I guess I'm just a softy, even when I go through hell. I was wondering what things would be like my second day here.. One bad thing's happened, and I didn't need another one. Not today, at least..

[Delilah A. Black]

The door to the roof would swing open, addmitting entrance to a stumbling raven haired girl. She caught herself before falling, bringing herself back with composure. She sighed a little at her momentary lackof grace. "You should be a dancer, 'Lilah, you're so~ light on your feet." Well that was true, but other than her step style in martial arts, she was no better than any regular teenager.

Looking up at the sky, Delilah breathed in the air deeply, feeling the oxygen rush into her lungs and the wind cool her body. That school was just too much, sometimes. It was nice to get away, even if it was for a little while. She looked around, and spotted two people, a boy and a girl, sitting near eachother on the roof. Displaying an uncharacteristic moment of being upfront, she walked over, tugging her Nirvana shirt over her midriff a little. "Hey." She said in a fair voice. "You guys sick of this place too?"

[Kate]

Kate had been about to answer the boy...when a girl stumbled onto the roof. Klutz? Like Kate had been herself until the middle of her high school years? Seemed like it...

"I felt sick...and fresh air seemed the best thing for me."

Lot's of things made her sick lately. She smirked slightly, those bright eyes looking almost cruel for a moment. Kate was everything she ever thought about uppper classmen. Stupid, wrapped up in life, making wrong choices, and cold. At least for now she thought like that. Once she had been carefree.

"So...when did they let kids out of class early anyways?"

A small tease...they seemed younger than her. She was almost nineteen already. And yet she felt like it was her 40th birthday around the corner. The blonde stood there, before another wave of feeling sick hit her. Her slender fingers grasped her stomache and she sat down heavily on the roof. The doctors had warned her. The babies were large for their "age". All thanks to the goant of a man who was their father. It would be hard on her system... and bad when it came to actualy birthing the twins. She was tiny...and they weren't going to be average...

[eiki]

"Didn't go to class."

I answered her, even though it may have been a joke. I then turned, and noticed her clutch her stomach and sit. Well, I wouldn't have thought anything if she didn't clutch her stomach. I knelt down to where I was about at the same level as her, my knees bent quite a bit. "Are you okay?"

The overused question when you're worried about someone, no? Well, it doesn't matter how overused the line was, anyways..

[Delilah A. Black]

She shrugged half-heartedly. "If letting out early translates into not going period, then I suppose so." Chuckling a little, Delilah ceased as the blonde girl's hands went to her abdomen and fell back. Concerned, the Raven-haired girl was there in an instant, one hand barely brushign her back to keep her upright.

Her assesment of the situation was fast. Clutching of the stomach, she could feel an increase in temperature, not to mention heartrate. It was one of two things; She was sick or she was pregnant. Giving the girl she had never met before the benefit of the doubt, she went for the first option. She cocked her head a little, dark eyebrows knit together as she studied the senior closely. "Lay on your side...take a couple deep breaths. How long have you not been feeling well?" Delilah knew enough of human anatomy to know how to determine an illness depending on the length of time its been in the system.
