Stubs

"Metal sculptures? Wow. And I'm used to the glass cutter by now, so don't you worry," Jules replied, with a grin. She loved Sebastian's step mother's glass creations, which were way more creative than Jules would ever imagine glass could be. "And I bet that filming is great for blackmail when someone does something embarrassing," Jules added, thinking of Annabelle. As the car pulled into the driveway, Jules glanced over the familiar house. Julianne was constantly amazed that the house still managed to stand, considering all of the artistic chaos going on there. Plus, the fact that it was off the ground was a little hazardous too.

Stepping out of the car, and onto the driveway, Julianne's faded converse chucks hit the ground, and she made her way towards the stairs. Manuvering her way though the other parked cars on the driveway, and stepping around an abandoned art project, she finally reached the stairs, her feet hitting the planks, making dull thuds.

Sebastian ran up the stiars and stepped over the baby gate that was there to keep Vanessa from falling down the stairs and turned to see if Jules needed help over. It was easier to just step over it than to fight with the little latch then get it re closed. Everyone just learned to go over it. He winced when the loud screech of a saw on metal filled the air as he pulled the flimsy screen door open. "i'm home. With Jules." He yelled. as if on cue a small girl with blonde pigtails shot out of the other room and wrapped her arms around Julianne's legs.

"Juwie! Juwie! I dwawed you a pitcher!"[/i] Vanessa Davenport-Ceccarelli cried, jumping up and down, still gripping the older girl's legs. Sebastian laughed and started for his room, pulling his shirt over his head. Sebastian wasn't exactly the strongest guy, but he was slightly muscled, thanks to helping lug carp around. He was thin and you could see the muscles in his upper arms.

Jules stepped over the baby gate, careful not to trip. In the backgroud, she heard the loud screech of metal, and winced slightly, but decided not to focus on it, so she could get used to it. Nearly as soon as she was over the gate, Vanessa came running, and attached herself to Jules. Julianne laughed as Nessa waved a picture up and down, knowing that even though Nessa was still really young, she was going to be a great artist when she was older, just like her siblings and parents. Smiling at the toddler, Julianne said, "Really? Wow, Nessa, it's amazing! I love it! I'm going to hang it in my room when I get home!" knowing that Vanessa would be happy with that being said.

Picking Vanessa up, and putting her in her arms, Julianne waited paitently for Sebastian to change. Realizing how heavy Nessa was, Julianne decided to sit down on one of the chairs in the living room, so she wouldn't fall over. Vanessa tugged at one of Julianne's long, paint splattered blonde curls, and Julianne just smiled at the child. Julianne didn't mind that Nessa was crawling all over her; in fact, Julianne kind of liked it, and that was saying a lot, considering Jules didn't usually like kids.

"Vanessa Lilliana are you being a pest?" Kat Davenport-Ceccarelli asked, walking out of the kitchen. Kat was a beautiful woman, tall with full lips and long, dyed brown hair that was currently twisted up into a bun. Her two daughters had gotten her naturally blonde locks, making it look like both Baby and Vanessa were adopted. "Hello Julianne, you're very... red." Kat grinned.

"She was attacked by a rug." Sebastian explained, walking out from the hall, pulling a green tee shirt on over a black and gray striped long sleeved shirt. Vanessa jumped off Julianne's lap and tugged on her brother's khaki pants. "I showed Juwie my pitcher and she wiked it!"[/i] The excited girl grinned. Sebastian picked her up and tossed her in the air. "Told you she would." He stuck his tongue out at the girl, who giggle.

Julianne smiled as Kat walked out into the living room. After Sebastian explained that Jules had been attacked by a rug, Julianne nodded solemnly. "Yes. If I have learned one very important thing in my life, it's that rugs are very dangerous with red paint," Jules said, trying not to laugh. She was a horrible actress, and couldn't act guilty to save her life. "Luckily, I had Sebastian there, to save me from the rug monster going to eat me," Julianne added, with a grin, looking at Vanessa who giggled.

Julianne smiled at Vanessa and her older brother. They just looked so cute together. "And Nessa, it has to be the best picture I've ever seen," Jules told the little girl, who beamed at the compliments. Standing up, she walked over to Sebastian and his sister, and picked Nessa up, and started to tickle the younger girl. "Your sister is just do darn cute," Jules told him, while Vanessa giggled.

[Farris {JR.BR.SR.PL.PL}]

Kat smiled and ruffled Sebastian's hair, telling him she had more work to do in the kitchen. He nodded and fixed his hair. "Shh. Don't tell her that. She already thinks she can get away with anything." He crossed his eyes. [/i]"cause I can."[/b][/i] Vanessa giggled, rolling around as Julianne tickled her.

"Ready to go Jules? You look dangerously like a murderer." He teased. The door opened and Jonathan ran into the kitchen and back out the door with a large bucket of water. "i'm not going to ask." Sebastian shook his head. He had a weird family, he knew it and quite frankly, he fit in with them.

[{Allison} Alaska]

"Well, if I'm the murderer, then your my accomplice," Jules replied, with a grin. Even though she hadn't looked in a mirror, she knew that she looked crazy, and she had enough people the vouch for that. Hugging Vanessa goodbye, she stepped over the baby gate, and back outside, and waited for Sebastian. Making her way down the stairs, her mind went to outer space for a moment. Unfortuneately, she was mid step, and wound up skipping two stairs, causing her to fall. She went tumbling down half of the staircase, and landed with a dull thud on the hard ground. "Dammit." She muttered under her breath, as a stripe of pain was sent down her spine.

Sitting there for a momet, Jules realized that she had scratched her arm. Wincing at the sight of blood, she pulled her shirt's sleeve downward, so she wouldn't have to see it. With a sigh, she stood up, and rubbed her hand along her arm, causing more pain. Figuring she could just clean up when she got home, she decided to ignore it, knowing that the paint and the blood looked exactly alike, so she could just pretend that the scratches were just paint.

[Farris {JR.BR.SR.PL.PL}]

Sebastian tossed Vanessa into the air one last time before heading out. "i'm an accomplise to nothing. no idea what you're talking about Jules." He grinned, hopping over the gate. His cell phone vibrated and he pulled it out of his pocket to see the text and that's what he was doing when Julianne fell. He heard the crash and looked up.

"Sh*t." He muttered, jumping down the last few steps and hurried over to her. "You okay?" He asked, looking her over, he couldn't tell if she was bleeding or anything, the paint made that pretty much impossible.

Still sprawled out on the ground, Julianne looked up at Sebastian. "Fine, just fine," She mumbled, through gritted teeth. Jules was pretty sure she hadn't broken anything, but she knew she was going to have massive bruises later. "I scratched my arm, but other than that, I'm pretty sure I'm okay," Julianne said, pulling her knees to her chest. Falling and tripping and breaking things weren't anything new to Jules, and neither was pain for that matter, but she still hated when she did things like that. To Julianne, it just made her seem so... uncoordinated. Like she was helpless, which she most certainly wasn't.

"Ready to head to my house before I cause a nuclear disaster?" Julianne asked after a few beats of silence. Catching a glimpse of herself in one of the cars' side mirror, she winced at the reflection. She looked even worse than she thought. Heck, she looked like she had been in a nuclear war, for crying out loud. "Or bedore someone calls the cops thinking I'm some mass murderer from some foregin place," Jules added, grinning. At least she still had her sense of humor.

[Farris {JR.BR.SR.PL.PL}]

Sebastian nodded. "We'll know for sure at your house I guess." He got in the car and grinned at her. "i'll avoid cops ont he road then." He promised, wating until she got in before heading off. He looked at her, biting his lip gently. "and you're sure you don't need like, medical attention or anything?" He asked.

That last thing he wanted was for her to really be hurt and he didn't do anything about it. He was going a little above the speed limit so he slowed as they got closer to Juleianne's house. He pulled his cell phone out and actually read the text. It was from another friend, saying he was throwing a party. The guy was... one of the people Sebastian really didn't want to introduce Jules to, seeing as the guy was a raging stoner, so he just shoved the phone back in his pocket.

"I'm sure... All it is is just a few scrapes," Jules protested, opening up the passenger side door, and plopping down on the seat. She resorted to fiddling with the radio, changing the stations until she found something that wasn't playing commercials. Too bad it was just some guys talking about football, something Julianne despised. So, she continued to flip through the stations, finally just leaving it on a pop station, on which one of Katy Perry's songs was playing. Julianne hummed along to the chorus, and watched as the landscape outside changed, to her own neighborhood. Seeing the familiar street signs, she sighed, when she saw her house at the end of the long street.

Realizing that Sebastian was checking his phone for something, Julianne looked at him curiously. "Text message?" Jules asked, as he pulled into her driveway, unusually empty for once. Figuring that her mother wasn't home, Julianne wondered if Claire was home, but figured she was out with Ellie again. Digging her keys out of her pocket, she ran the largest key, the one to the front door, along the lines on her palm, and finally stepped out of the car, and faced the large house that she was supposed to call home.

[Farris {JR.BR.SR.PL.PL}]

Sebastian yawned, watching her fiddle with the radio. He looked at his phone again and shrugged. "Umm... yeah, nothing important." He parked int the driveway and got out, quickly texting the guy back saying he wasn't coming. He followed Julianne up to her house and blew his hair out of his eyes. Her house was a million times better than his. Granted, a house where you didn't have to worry about it falling during every storm was better than his house, but that wasn't really the point.

He walked in and sighed when his phone vibrated again. The guy was asking why not. Sebastian's stoner habits were something he kept to himself, well himself, Baby and Annabelle, who ran with those crowds as well, but whatever. He shoved the phone into his pocket and went to the kitchen. "I'm getting a soda. You want anything?" He asked.

[{Allison} Alaska]

"Nah, I'm fine," Jules called, as she walked through the living room, kicking off her converse, her shoes hitting the wall. Her mother was going to freak out when she saw that there were now footprints on the wall, but Julianne didn't care. She could just blame it on Claire later. Pulling her sweatshirt over her head, she was glad that she didn't get any of the paint on her favorite white shirt, that she was wearing under neath the sweatshirt. Walking upstairs and into her room, she tore off her paint laden clothes and threw on the first thing she saw, which happened to be her loose pajama bottoms and an old tee shirt.

Walking back downstairs, she exaimed her arm in the bright sunlight that was streaming through the floor-to-cieling windows. Figuring all she needed was band aid, she walked into the bathroom, and grabbed one, and then made her way into the large kitchen. "Want some popcorn?" Jules asked, standing on one of the kitchen bar stools, reaching into one of the high pantries, where her mom hid all of the junkfood.

[Farris {JR.BR.SR.PL.PL}]

Sebastian got out a soda and popped it open, texting both the guy and Baby, to find out of Baby planned on going to the party, and if Annabelle was going, he didn't like one of them going alone. He chugged about half the soda and pulled his digital camera out of his pocket, fiddling with it. He could hear Julianne coming back, which was good, he didn't like to be alone in her hose, too big of a chance her parents would came in, or her sister. He didn't have anything against them, but it was just weird, like he was an intruder or something.

He looked up at Julianne and as she climbed up he snapped a picture of her. "You're still red." He grinned. "And yeah, popcorn sounds awesome." He stood up and headed for the living room, his camera and his cell phone on the counter. He slipped his feet out of his shoes, figuring Julianne's mom wouldn't want his dirty ol chucks leaving marks all over the house."I'll be back." He said, heading for the bathroom.

Julianne made a funny face and stuck out her tounge as Sebastian snapped the picture. "Yes, I do realize that I still look like a tomato," She replied with a grin. Placing the bag of popcorn in the microwave, she pushed the popcorn button, and waited paitently. Figuring she best wash her hands, to at least try and get some of the paint to fade, she turned the water on hot, and poured a lot of soap on her hands. "Gah. Stupid soap," She muttered, when some of it stuck to her hands, causing a greenish tint to come to her hands, along with it smelling like apples. That's when her house phone began ringing. Knowing she would more than likely be electrocuted, she wiped one hand off, and answered the phone. It was her Austrailian cousin Scout, who was coming to live with Julianne and her family. But, before Jules could ask when Scout was going to arrive, Jules dropped her phone into the sink... which was filled with water.

"FUCK!" Julianne shouted, frustrated with all of her bad luck. And then, to top it all off, the fire alarm started to off. There were clouds of black smoke coming from the microwave, and Julianne opened the door, to see that the popcorn was completely toasted. Letting out a stream of expletives, Julianne sank down against the wooden cabinents, and thought of all the ways she was going to get grounded for ruining the house later on.
