"Come on, Caleb!" Arianna stood in the living room of her and her brothers apartment, beach bag slung over her shoulder. "You promised you were going to come with me to the pool. There's crazy people out there. If you don't go, what if someone kidnaps me?"

"They'd bring you back." Caleb finally stepped out of his bedroom, looking slightly miffed about going to the pool.

"Oh my god, shut up." Arianna snapped, turning on her heel and marching to the door, slipping her feet into her black flip flops. She glanced back just in time to see her brother shrug. Scoffing, she grabbed her key and opened the door, turning back to look at Caleb. "After you, jackass." She told him, waiting until he sauntered past her before shutting the door, locking it and turning towards the stairs. It was already gonna be a hot day, she could tell.

"Good day to swim." She passed her brother on the stairs, obviously more excited than him about going to the pool. They hit the bottom floor and crossed the parking lot to the already open pool, though thankfully it wasn't crowded yet. Arianna found them a table with an umbrella, setting her bag down and then removing her shorts to reveal the matching bottoms to her lime green bikini top.

"Don't be a stick in the mud." She told Caleb before going to step into the cool water.

Caleb followed his overly enthusiastic sister towards the pool, resisting the urge to groan. Arianna was grown; why did she need him to come with her? It wasn't as if he was the go swimming with your neighbors type. But she'd bugged him and bugged him until he finally said yes, and now, here he was. Whistling as they walked, he followed her to the table and set his towel down that he'd brought with him just in case.

In the meantime, though, he'd sit in one of these chairs and either read or listen to music. He sat in one of the chairs beside the table, glancing up at his sister told him not to be a stick in the mud. "No promises." He grinned at her, laughing when she rolled her eyes before going to get in the water. He watched her for a moment before letting his bored gaze travel over to some of the other people, none of whom he'd ever talked to before.

"Greeeeat." He sighed, reaching for his phone and headphones. He placed the headphones in his ears, Breaking Benjamin beginning to play. He couldn't hear a thing other than Benjamin Burnley screaming in his ears. He settled back in the chair and closed his eyes, placing his phone on his bare stomach, thankful for the shade from the table's umbrella.

Elizabeth "Liza" Withers​

​

Liza's eyes snapped open as she heard someone out in the hall. "Darn," she mumbled to herself, her southern twang as strong as ever. She had grown a habit of sleeping in late, now that she worked whatever hours she pleased. There was nothing like sleeping in when you spent your whole life waking up before the sun to muck stall and feed cows. Don't get her wrong, there was something to be enjoyed from that kind of thing, but she would be lying if she said that going to bed in the wee hours of the night and getting up after the sun wasn't something that she liked just a bit more.

She recognized the voice as Ari's, something about going to the pool. Being that she could already tell it was going to be a hot one, from the fact she was sweating like a dog under her comforter, she decided that she would join the girl. They were pretty good friends anyways, so it was sure to be a good time. Not to mention, she might have a chance to get a better look at Caleb...and his beautiful tattoo's. Wherever Ari was, he was sure to be close, even if he clearly didn't want to be. That was a good think for Liza, though, as she fancied Caleb quite a bit. Well, besides the cold, brooding stares and scary dark attire. But besides that he was quite cute. Her Daddy would not approve of him, but as far as she was concerned he was halfway across the country, so it didn't matter much anyways.

Liza rose herself from her bed, feeling a bit gross for sleeping in so long, and put on her bikini - something she'd never let her family back home know she even owned, let alone wore. She grabbed a pair of sunglasses and some sunscreen on the way out. She was too pale to go without, but there was a good chance that by the end of the day she would resemble something similar to a lobster anyways.

"Ari!" she squealed as she reached the pool. "I knew I heard your voice, thought ya'll might use a little good company down here," she said, grinning. She snuck a peek at Caleb, who was sitting in the corner with earbuds in, and wearing far too much clothes. She resisted the urge to pout, reminding herself that she was better than that. "Is it cold?" she asked Ari.

Location: His Apartment 1C
Mentions: None.

The sunlight shot through the apartment window of one of the newest tenants, Jason Myers. Who was currently setting up the last of his electronics, his stereo system & record player. He looked around the room & thought out loud to himself. "Man, this is alot different from home. No one has kicked my door open & yelled at me to cut my hair yet. But hey, I ain't complaining." He finally got everything connected and put one of his favorite albums on as a test. Bad Religion's 1989 album No Control. When all of a sudden, A Power Outage occurs. Jason started seething & let out his rage in the form of an Obscenity. "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Eventually, after 5 minutes The electricity came back on again & Jason's rage evaporated. He turned the record player & stereo system off and contemplated what to do next. He decided to try & socialize, So he locked his door & headed for the pool area.

He arrived wearing a Bad Religion Crossbuster Tank top, Stonewash dark gray jeans, All-star Chuck Taylor Converse hi-tops & Dark sunglasses. He noticed a pale, Blonde girl who looked like an Indie rock version of Marilyn Monroe. He also spotted another blonde girl in a lime green bikini in the pool and a guy in a leather jacket with headphones on, He looked like The fresh out of prison Modern day James Dean. He just leaned back against the wall with the back of one of his feet pressed up against the wall & his other foot planted firmed on the ground with his arms crossed as he quietly observed the others around him.

_______________________________________________________________________

Another ordinary day in the life on Vinny. As every day, he woke up 8am, although this time his clock did not wake him up at all, it was the warmth of the sun. For the next two hours, Vinny was just slouching around his apartment, looking like a zombie who hasn't eaten in years. For one hour, he was watching videos on his TV, for half an hour he was eating breakfast, and another half an hour he has spent just laying on his bed, wishing he could have slept just a tiny bit longer. His average day began horrible, boy, he can't wait to see the rest of his day. It will be as blunt and boring as every day.
Finally, after sliching around for two entire hours - this has to be a new record! - , he decided to dress himself up. He has too lazy to pick anything good looking, so he chose a pink shirt and light blue jeans with white shoes. "Jeez, I look like someone who's studying business and owns a gifted 2005 Mercedes from daddy. Christ. I have never looked so awful." The only thing missing from his ultimate business major-student look is a jacket he's wearing over his shoulders. This entire day just feels so...slow. Awful sleep. Slowly making his way to the balcony, he looked out of the window, staring into the direction of the pool. The weather's good, so Vinny spontaneously decided to go to the pool. Well, he has to try to be social.

_______________________________________________________________________

God, yerema totally forgot how much train rides suck. Well, she would have called an Uber, or even used hers, but her Uber today was sick, so she had to rely on transit. Standing ina crowded subway felt awful. It is awful. One of the kids in the train keeps screaming something and the kids mother responds with more screaming. One guy sitting at the window looks like he came straight of a Dungeons and Dragons session. Oh, and another dude smells like a combination between fast food, sweat, weed and doritos. "Jesus christ I am going to puke.", Yerema quietly mumbled to herself. After this torture, she will take a good and long bath. Or puke. Or both.
Finally, her stop arrived, and like a weasel hunted by rabid dogs, Yerema left the train. Just mere seconds after leaving the train, Yerema sorted herself, checking her phone briefly. Well, it's almost 10am, and she's supposed to be there at 10. Well, not her fault the driver was sick! It's her luck that the station is basically right next to the complex. She doesn't want to lose more time, soe Yerema jogged towards the staircase, where she can up the stairs and soon reached the complex.​

 

[Ollie Declan]

"Come on!" Smiles one of the newest tennants, 23 year old Milo. He's wearing loose board shorts and has a towel draped around his neck, it almost covering his tatoo completely. He's gently, yet firmly, dragging his partner out of the apartment for the first time to socialise with the other tennants. Milo's smile is unbelivably wide, proud that he managed to convince his terribly introverted partner to actually make an appearance, rather than staying holed up all the time.

Harri on the other hand is not so impressed. Their lack of muscle mass fails them, having no chance against their tall cop boyfriend. Wearing far more than their boyfriend - a long sleeve rashie and knee-length board shorts, as well as a hat and sunnies - they're not the least bit confortable with the situation, but their clothing being the way it is is definitely a start.
"I'm only agreeing to this because I love you and I don't think I could handle any more of your puppy eyes." Grumbles Harri, their thick Scottish accent ringing loud and clear.

Robert Wright Jr.

The 'We-Haul-No-Hustle' truck stopped in front of the apartment. Robert stepped out of the passenger side and stretched his legs. The four hour packing process took a toll on him and he made a mental note: DO not move again. He took the envelope that was inside the truck and told the driver to wait for a minute as he inspect the room. The contents were the room key and the apartment lease signed by the landlord and himself. He opened the envelope and fished out the key. It wasen't pretty special, just a normal key. He climbed the stairs but not before stopping and letting the thought of him living here for a few more years sink into his brain.

After climbing the flight of stairs towards the third floor, he faced the door to bis new home. Key in hand, he slid the key into the keyhole and turned it once. The sound of a click vibrated to his fingers and he turned the knob and opened the door. The stale smell of a stuffy room hit him square to his face. He stepped in and cracked open all the windows. After a few minutes, he started to explore the house. The only things that is in the apartment was the carpets. Luckily, he had almost everything to furnish the apartment. With that, he left the room, door open to get more aeration and walked down the flight of stairs.

"Okay boys, we have lives to get back to. If we manage to mov everything within an hour, a $10 tip could go a long way." He said smiling revealing sparkling white teeth.

Eva Parker
​

Eva’s day had been more relaxed than usual. She didn’t have to go into work which was good and the twins were decent. Of course they would do something and Eva would yell but that was a common occurrence. She spent her time cleaning up around the house. It was only a few toys that her kids had left laying around. “Ava and Emma, how many times do I have to tell you to pick up your toys?!” She yelled, grumbling under her breath as she picked up the toys. She could hear them playing around in the living room. No doubt doing something that they didn’t have any business doing. After she was finished Eva decided to head to the pool. She made it a goal for the girls and herself to get a decent amount of sunlight.

So with that in mind Eva walked into the living room. As soon as the word pool left her mouth the girls were off to their room. They picked out which swimsuits that wanted to wear. Eva helped her daughters, smiling as they babbled excitedly about the pool. “If ya’ll go out there and cause trouble I’m getting my switch.” She said.

Once she finished getting them ready Eva went to her own room to get dressed. After finishing she grabbed a small backpack and placed some sunscreen and snacks inside. Just as they were about to leave their dog Lucky, a toy terrier followed them. Eva held hands with the twins has they walked to the pool. When they made it the trio greeted their fellow tenants along with their canine companion.

“Mama hurry up, you’re moving to slooow!” It was Ava who spoke up. She was the more outgoing twin. She tugged her mother’s hand, as if that would get her to go faster.

“Ma, we need sunscreen? Did you pack the sunscreen Mama? You forgot to last time...” Emma spoke next. She was quieter than her sister but just as bossy.

Lucky ran around them, barking and wagging his tail in excitement.

Eren McKinley"Whatever fuckin' bastard decided humans should get up in the mornin' an' not the afternoon can go fuck 'emself."

Mentions

Ollie Declan

Eren woke up with a groan. He was on the floor of his appartment, laying in a puddle of vomit and stale alcohol, and unable to tell which was which. The place behind his eyes throbbed with the pain of his hangover, and he could feel his stomach churning from the lack of anything other than alcohol being in his system within the last 48 hours. He'd been on a bender for the last two days. These things happened sometimes. Eren wasn't exactly what one would call a high functioning alcoholic. He shure as hell couldn't function sober, but he wasn't much better off drunk either.

Eren forced himself off the floor, only to get an eyeful of sunlight from the open curtains of his window. "Fuckin' Christ!" He hissed, as he stumbled over to the window to get rid of the sunlight. He had his hands on the curtains ready to pull them shut, and isolate himself in his world of darkness, and maybe find himself another drink when he caught the eye of a certain yank he just loved to mess with.

Eren fought the pain in his head as he opened the window and leaned out. He called across the way, "Good Mornin' Susan! How ye doin' today?"

Eren laughed as the old woman pointedly ignored him, and grumbled to herself. Eren couldn't tell what she'd said, but he was pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that he was covered in alcohol and all manner of bodily fluids. Speaking of bodily fluids...

Eren closed his window and began searching for whoever had decided to sleep with him during this bender. He vaguely remembered a woman with brown hair, and a lot of makeup, and was more than aware he'd had some kind of sexual encounter with her if the state of his person were anything to go by. "God, I hope I didn' get an STD..." He thought to himself, until finding various forms of contraception on the floor by his bed. "Nice to see the drunk me still has some sense..." He couldn't find the woman, which meant she'd probably already left.

Eren put a hand to his head and groaned again. He didn't know how long he'd blacked out for. Hell, he didn't even know what day it was. He stumbled his way t the bathroom and took a shower before quickly finding some whiskey at the bottom of a mostly empty bottle, and downed the amber liquid. Sometimes Eren would think back on his life and regret everything he'd ever done to end up the resident alcoholic of a crappy apartment complex. (Okay, a decent apartment complex, but that's not the point!)

Eren had finally gotten enough of the whiskey in his system to chase away his hangover, and decided to try and find a neighbour to help him recover his bearings. He decided to go out towards the pool to do this, after seeing a large number of tenants gathering there. By the time Eren walked out of his apartment, he looked a sight. He had dark shades on and his typical leather vest over a pair of tight, dark blue swimming trunks. His blue hair was still wet from his shower and unbrushed. He hadn't bothered to do any makeup and was absolutely covered in mysterious bruises and bite marks. A few looked self-inflicted (which didn't really surprise him) but a lot just looked like the side effects of whatever escapade he got up to with the woman he'd met during his blackout.

Eren arrived at the pool looking like the hot mess he felt like and giving no fucks about anyone's opinion of him. He walked up to a queer couple he recognized easily as the people right next to his own apartment. "Excuse me?" He said, attempting to sound somewhat sober, "I was hopin' you could tell me wha' day it is?" Despite Eren's attempts to sound sober, anyone who looked at him could tell he was in bad shape. He was wobbling on his feet, and his hands twitched every now and then.

So much for looking sober.

 

[Ollie Declan]

"It's uhhh..." the taller hums, looking at his watch. "It's Friday. 10AM, if you wanted to know," he gave Eren a kind and knowing smile. "I don't think we've properly been introduced. I'm Milo, I moved in a few weeks ago, and this is my partner Harri, who's lived here for just over a year now. And who would you be?"
Harri was behind him, slapping layers of sunscreen onto his exposed back, listening to the conversation but not actively taking part in any discussion. They were almost hidden completely by Milo's body, remaining silent.

Eren McKinley"It's not even the fuckin' weekend yet!"

Ollie Declan

"Fuckin' hell," Eren mumbled, rubbing the back of his head with his right hand. "I missed half the fuckin' week..." He heaved a sigh, his breath reeking of alcohol, even to him. Eren's face flushed in shame. Hungover and a little drunk at 10:00 in the morning, after a two day bender was not the best state to be found in by anyone.

He finally answered the man and said, "'m Eren... Eren McKinley... I live righ' next door to ye... 2D..."

Eren struggled to put the pieces together. At most Eren could remember a total of an hour of time during his bender, and only in small fragments of memory being strung together. He'd never remember 47 hours of his life because of his drinking. This was starting to become a problem, and even Eren knew it. Still, Eren was very dependent on his alcohol to get him through the day. The last time he'd been stone cold sober had been when he was married, and that was mostly because his ex-husband wouldn't touch him when he was drunk. Eren's heavy drinking benders really started after the divorce.

It wasn't like he had much self-control when left to his own devices, after all...

 

[Ollie Declan]

"Ah, yes." Milo smiles, smelling the alcohol on Eren's breath. "Do you need anything? Painkillers, I mean. You must be going through a pretty intense hangover right now." He is completely calm, just wanting to help out and make sure that Eren isn't in a lot of pain.
Harri however is looking around at their neighbours, trying to put names to faces from the minimal conversation they've had with each of the other tenants, recognising a few from their noise about the place, and not recognising the majority of them. Now that they have someone to be an ice breaker though, they expect that all of these people will become close to them, "at least to the point that I know their names," Harri thinks.

_______________________________________________________________________

Despite looking like a hot pile of garbage, Vinny decided it's time to leave to go socializing. Even though he has never been a socializer. Again, glaring out of the window and looking at the pool, and already spotting his neighbors. He's been living here for about a year or so, who knows. Yet he barely talks to his neighbors. Or his landlord. For the sake of it, he doesn't even know what his landlord is called if someone would ask him. "Whatever.", he told himself before grabbing his keys and leaving his apartment.
He quickly left the building, making his way to the pool. Outside, he noticed how incredibly warm it was. Well, he's used to way higher temperatures, but he didn't expect it to be this warm. Well, he'll survive it. And if not, he has mutliple fans in his apartment, If he needs to cool off, he'll go in and turn them all up on full speed.

"Aye, at this this building is lookin' good and not like a building where shady shit happens. Like drug deals." In fact, it looks fairly fancy. Well, good enough for Yerema. She quickly crossed the street before entering the building. Vinny said he's in 1B, so that means 1B is on ground level? duh, goin' after logic, it has to be. But logic doesn't apply in America. 50/50 chance she'd be right.
And she was. The apartment her brother owns, and who she can now terrorize by listening to Linkin Park the entire day, was on the ground floor. Unsure if she should feel bad for her neighbors, Yerema looked for her spare pair of keys in her pockets. "God, where the f- Ah, there they are." It feels like her pockets are as deep as the Marianas Trench, but thank god she found her keys. Quickly, she opened the door, entered the apartment and closed the door behind her.
"Hello homie! Get ready for sleepless n- God damn it, where is here?" Great, she wanted to annoy him and he isn't there. Both have a good relationship, so the terrorize part is meant ironically. Partially. He should prepare himself for Yerema ordering pizza at 2:46am. Phew, the apartment looks fancy. "At least it doesn't look like a suburban garbage apartment, owned by a hardcore christian soccer mom." she quickly peeked into every room, before looking out and spotting a pool. My freaking pool?! Oh. My god. The eyes of the young woman started sparkling when she glared at the pool - and, seemingly, the other occupants of the apartments. Or her neighbors. Whatever ya wanna call them.​

Jason Myers
Location: Pool Area
Mentions: Eva Parker erzulie , Caleb Rivers apolla

As Jason was scanning the area to see if he recognized anyone, He noticed one of the older tenants at the pool area Eva Parker & her twins. He Greeted & waved at her from his spot. "Hi, Ms. Parker." He said happily. Jason liked Ms. Parker, Every interaction he has had with her has been relaxing. He liked that she never judges him or makes him feel bad about his lifestyle. Unlike Susan The grumpy old landlord. Jason decided to sit in one of the chairs next to this guy in the jacket. He tried to make small talk but he noticed the guy had his music on, So he tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. "Hey, My name is Jason Myers. I'm one of the new tenants that just moved in. What's your name?" This guy seemed like one of the gangs from back home in Queens. Jason was a little intimidated by him, But not too much.

Elizabeth "Liza" Withers​

​

Liza noticed someone else joining them at the pool. She vaguely recognized him from when he had been moving in. He had long hair and a "homely" look about him, as her daddy would have called him. Clearly they were very different people. She gave him a small smile in acknowledgement, but turned away, back to Ari. She noticed that he stayed, leaning against the wall. Was he a creeper? Just here to see girls in bathing suits? Liza immediately felt the urge to cover up, bought fought it. No need to make assumptions. Perhaps he was just waiting for someone else.

Just a few minutes later another group came out to the pool, a mother and her two daughters. She vaguely knew the trio as Eva and her daughters, Ava and Emma. The kids were cute as buttons as far as Liza could tell, and she did love kids. Seeing them just brightened her day. She made a mental note to get to know Eva better, if for no other reason than to get some time with the kiddos.

Next came out....Eren. Liza sighed inwardly. She did her best to be nice to anyone in any way she could, southern hospitality and all, but that boy did get under her skin. He was underage and drank like a fish, not to mention she'd found him in various places doing various... things.... multiple times. Looking at him now, he was clearly intoxicated. Not the worst she'd ever seen him, but she had been very aware of the last two days he had had, despite not being in the same apartment block as him. She frowned, hoping the kids wouldn't think much of him.... and hoping he'd stay decent in their precense. Poor Milo and Harri, they were taking Eren's drunken speech like champs.

"He better keep it together, I swear I will be on him like fur on a 'coon," Liza said, her southern accent creeping out a bit more than it normally does.

Vincent came out next. A surprise for sure, he wasn't usually seen in a social aspect like this. He looked as cute as ever, though, even though he did come across as a bit of a meanie sometimes. But, Liza tried not to make assumptions about him too soon. She hadn't had much of a chance to talk to him, anyways.

Arianna heard a familiar voice just as she reached waist deep in the water. Turning, she waved as she recognized Liza, a grin spreading on her face. The southern girl drew closer, and Ari moved closer to the edge of the water, resting her arms on the side of the pool. "We can always use your company!" She exclaimed, casting a glance at her brother as Liza did, too. She smirked but said nothing, at least not yet.

"It's not that bad, really. Come in and you'll find out! Maybe if you come in, Caleb will, too." She waggled her eyebrows-- so much for not saying anything. Giggling, she turned her back to the edge of the pool, looking around as others started trickling in. She saw Eren at the same time Liza did, and grimaced slightly. "Think he's drunk again?" She asked the obvious question, shaking her head. "I heard some awful racket coming from downstairs last night..."

Moving deeper into the water, she ducked underneath of it, coming back up a few seconds later. She saw someone talking to Caleb, and lifted an eyebrow. She knew all of her brothers friends-- all one of them, herself.

The sound of two little girls drew her attention away from Caleb, and she grinned and waved at Eva. "Oh, look, the girls are here!"

Caleb was enjoying his music session, ignoring everyone else around him, just like he'd told Arianna he would do if she dragged him out here. But that stubborn little bitch never listened. He quirked a brow in her direction as she waved to Liza, and his gaze followed his sisters to where the southern girl was entering the area. She was cute, definitely, but he didn't see how they'd match up. Sometimes he didn't even understand what she said.

Closing his eyes again, he remained like that until he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He removed his ear bud and looked over at the guy. At first, Caleb thought about ignoring him, but he could sense Arianna watching. "Caleb." He finally said, lowering the ear bud to his lap. "Nice to meet you, I guess, Jason Myers. Congrats on moving in?" He shrugged, glancing over at Ari again to see that she'd looked away, towards a single mother and her two kids.

He knew her. Eva, he thought. Boy he hated kids, but watching Arianna fail in the kitchen was something he didn't want to miss, so he went with her a few times to the woman's apartment. Only a few, though, because most times he preferred to just stay at home. He nodded towards her and then glanced back at the guy. "What made you move here?"

Jason half-smiled at Caleb's congratulatory comment. "Uh...Thanks, I guess." Jason said in an unsure tone. He turned to Caleb as he asked about his reasons for moving to the complex. He shrugged & proceeded to lean back in the chair and stretch his arms over his head as he replied "My Catholic & conservative zealot family disowned me because i didn't agree with their beliefs & pressure from school. Me & my band decided to relocate here from New York." Jason explained nonchalantly to Caleb as if he's said it a billion times before. He spotted the Monroe Look-alike girl from before & decided to go introduce himself, He turned to Caleb & said: "Excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back." Jason walked over to the girl & introduced himself to her. 'Hello, I'm Jason Myers. From Apartment 1C, I'm one of the new people here. You look familar, Who are you?"

Eva Parker
​

Eva turned when she heard someone greet her. A smile appeared on her face when she spotted Jason waving at her. “Hey Jason, it’s nice to see you out.” She called back. Eva realized that Jason was very different from herself but she didn’t mind. She believed that he was a sweet young man. Eva then noticed Celeb who was sitting down. She didn’t know much about him. He’d visited her apartment a few times but it was mostly to watch Arianna attempt to cook. Honestly she thought that he only came to laugh at her failures. As usual Arianna wasn’t to far away from him. Eva waved at the younger woman. Standing next to Arianna was Elizabeth. She didn’t know the southern woman too well but she seemed nice enough. Eva’s attention was stolen by someone tugging on her hand. She looked down to see Ava pulling her. The single mother frowned and loosened her child’s grip. “Stop it right now, you know that you still have to put on your sunscreen.” She scolded, her tone warning her child to behave herself.

Ava huffed but did as told. Her sister laughed at her quietly. Whenever one managed to get into trouble the other would laugh or tease. Together the trio walked over some chairs. They weren’t that far away from Celeb and Jason. Eva opened her bag and pulled out some sunscreen. She then proceeded to cover the twins in it. Once she finished Eva noticed that they were staring and pointing at something or rather someone. She followed their gaze and realized that it was Celeb.

“Stop that! It’s rude.” She popped their hands. Eva shook her head. “You can go ahead and swim. Don’t run and stay where I can see you.” She told them. Eva watched as they walked to the pool. She’d made sure that her babies knew how to swim. They’d taken classes as, they’d been swimming since they were about six months. Eva began to put sunscreen on herself. She would glance at her kids very few seconds.

As soon as they climbed into the water the girls began to swim. They splashed one another and raced, laughing happily as they played in the water. Every now and then they’d call there mother to look at them.

Eva only smiled at her kids. She gave them words of encouragement whenever they did a trick or if one of them won their little race. It was times like these that she enjoyed.

Eren shook his head at the offer, and said, "Thanks, but 'm fine... Had a hair o' the dog that bit me..." He rolled his neck around to crack it, and groaned to himself. He looked over to the pool area. He could see people watching him, and talking to eachother. He watched their judging looks with embarassment written accross his features. The embarassment turned to shame when he saw Eva's little girls.

He backed slowly away from the pool, and said, "Sorry to cut our meeting short, Milo, but... I... I don't want the little lasses to see me like this... It' not fair to 'em... 'm in no shape to be around children..."

Eren wished he could be out there with them all in good conscience, but he'd never feel guilt-free around children unless he was sober, and that wouldn't happen any time soon.

Robert Wright Jr.


Robert walked to the back of the truck where the rest of the crew who were helping him move the stuff were. "Gentlemen,the faster we do this, the better. I know some of you are missing the warm embrace of someone somewhere so let's get to it."

"Heard you were giving out a $10 bonus if we finish this in less than an hour." On of them suddenly blurted out.

"Well, let's finish this in one hour and see" Robert said in a gentle tone. They all laughed and opened the back to reveal cardboard boxes of different sizes and colors all with names written in a marker pen. "Damn. Okay guys lets move out." He climbed on the truck and began giving out the boxes. He turned around and saw the majority of it were his furniture but that would need more help. He began to ponder whether he should ask for some help from the local residents. "Naah that's too needy." He wafted the idea and proceeded to hand out the boxes, while carrying some of course.

After a gruesome 57 minutes, they were done and that included moving the furniture around to fit his seating needs. Of course his pantry is still empty but that was for the afternoon. He thanked the guys and added the extra tip he promised. They smiled and left. Robert closes the door and began unpacking the cardboard boxes, starting with the kitchen, proceeded to the living room, then to the bathrooms and finally to the bedroom.

He lifted the lid of his turntable and placed the vinyl of Miles David best album, Kind of Blue, placed the needle and the sweet sound of jazz music filled the room. He closed his eyes and began slow dancing by himself, forgetting the door was still open.

Ruben Alvarez was not a morning person. Quite frankly, he wasn't even a day person. He wasn't an anything person.

Okay, no, maybe he was a party person. Like a lot of a party person. He adored partying.

Speaking of partying, it appeared to him that his lovely neighbors were heading over to the pool on such a good day. It was lovely outside, sunny and what not, whereas to him everything was gloomy and tiring. He'd literally just woken up. Dragging his feet around the apartment, a blanket draped around his shoulders and partially tucked into his t-shirt as if it were a cape. The twenty-three year old lived in apartment 2C, one in which he would overlook the pool, with his twin brother Ryder. Whilst rubbing his eyes, the tall brunet rubbed at his eyes and squinted a bit to catch sight of everyone gathered around and splashing in the water.

Well, some people were splashing in the water. Kids included. Adults maybe a little less.

Now that definitely gave Ruby a jump start. The mere thought of being out and about, having a blast with people that he knew, that was something he wanted. It caught his attention like candy for a child. Now this wasn't to say everyone was out at the pool raving or whatever, but a group of people and having fun was plenty to convince Ruby to go out for the day.

"Hey, Ry! Guess what we're gonna do today?" He called out excitedly to his brother, jogging quickly from the window to his brother in the kitchen and clamping his hands against his brother's shoulders.

Now, Ryder was definitely the opposite of Ruben, he had been awake for quite a long time and was already dressed up for the day. Never know when you have to go out, right?

Unlike his brother Ruby, Ryder had been awake for hours. He probably got up at around five in the morning for the sake of eating and then going on a run. Ya know, before coming back and relaxing. He read a book as he usually did and relaxed.

Any time without his brother was relaxation time and you couldn't tell Ryder otherwise. They'd been stuck together at the hip for twenty-three years. Why don't you try dealing with the cocky and extremely energized Ruben Alvarez? Things got intense easily.

Now, here Ryder was, minding his own business in the kitchen and spreading some peanut butter on a warm piece of a toast. A good ol' snack for the day before he actually went to get his lunch. But the moment he felt hands on his shoulders, he prepared to yell and shout. Until he realized it was his brother, considering he was trying to pull some Phineas and Ferb type comments on him.

Shaking his head, Ryder turned around to face his brother and gently pushed him away. "Are you kidding me, Ruby? Warning, next time. Your breath stinks." He said bluntly before snatching up his toast and taking a quick bite from it. He took a few moments to chew and swallow before shrugging his shoulders. "I dunno, we didn't make plans today." He finally answered, much to his brother's dismay.

"Are you kidding me, Ryder? Everyone's at the pool and you're acting like you don't wanna go!" Ruben whined, ruffling his already messy hair as he pouted. He seemed way too interested in going to some pool for the day. But Ryder knew better than to argue.

With a roll of his eyes, Ryder gestured for his brother to go get dressed. He supposed he'd change into a pair of shorts instead but that was it. No major changes needed to be made. And so, the twins went. Right on out to the pool in the next few minutes with Ruben looking and acting like an excited child.

Ryder supposed that he could go over to Arianna or Caleb.. maybe. Well, if he went, he'd be going to say hello to Caleb but he definitely thought better of that. He glanced around, seeing some others. Ultimately, he decided to go over and sit at the edge of the pool, kick his feet in and relax with his brother for a bit.

"I literally can not believe you dragged me out here."
