Nick invited me along to go up to Stanford for his coolege visit weekend. I'm glad he did even if it only points out the obvious that in less than a year he'll be in college and I'll still be here. Worse yet, Mr Baker keeps pointing out art school for Marcus. So like the both of them are totally gonna be ditching me. I mean i would never say

Hey, sorry carlos was busy. We'll have to call and warn him next time.

*holds out a soda to her*

Drink?

[theresa_trejo]

*smiles and takes soda.*

Thanks.

*opens up the can and takes a drink*

Yeah. I was sorta hoping to see him. Its weird when he was around he annoyed the hell out of me and now he isn't at home any more. *shrugs* I kinda miss him.

[marcus_woods]

Yeah I hear that most siblings don't become friends till after one of them moves away.

Is it nice having a lot of family? Here and in Avalon I'm an only child.

*smiles*

Is it nice? Somedays. Gabby, is the best. I mean i like all my little sisters but you can have the worst day and she comes in a hugs you and its all better. Then there are days where you cant sit in your room for five minutes without someone bugging you. The 'rents are okay. It seems to be getting better.

*looks at him funny*

I would hardly call you an only child anymore. I mean the Bakers treat you the same as they do Nick and you and Nick are better siblings than me and my sisters are somedays.

You don't have to keep things to yourself. Let Nick know how you feel.

There were reasons he was dead set on staying in state for college and I know you were one of them.

[theresa_trejo]

You know as well as I do that some things are better kept to yourself.

*sighs*

I know you're right and I should tell him how I feel, but I don't know how fair it is for me to do so. I know he could have probably gotten into the school of his choice and that he chose to stay closer to Sunnydale, somewhat because of me. Which I don't know if it makes me feel any better. Like I'm already holding him back. Then I'm supposed to tell him thats not good enough that I still feel left behind. It's just not fair to him.

*forces another smile*

I'll live. I'll just deal and be supportive and happy for him and it'll be okay. Like you said, we got that fate thing going for us, right?

[marcus_woods]

*gives her a wry smile*

Ok, fate can only do so much. Haven't you ever watched Christmas specials? Twas the Night before Christmas?

You know where the mice are singing "Even a Miracle Needs a Hand"?

If you're not honest you'll lose him.

[theresa_trejo]

*winces, but covers with a smile*

You're right, I'll talk to him, tell him how I feel.

*looks at him*

How about you? You gonna talk to him about the art school thing?
