Authors Note: Okay so of course now that people are reading it I'm haven't had time to write for a really long time but here's the next part the plot is actually starting to have direction and I have some idea where it's going the whole Jacob David thing was written after watching "Velvet Goldmine" so I'm not sure how it actually incorporates into the plot as a whole. Thanks so much for all your reviews!

~*~*Take a Walk*~*~
Madison walked through her front door into the kitchen, her father was standing in the living trying to look calm and smooth his gray hair.
"Hey dad, your home early," said Madison heading towards her room and flipping her Technicolor hair.
"Wait one moment, I'd like to talk to you," he attempted to look stern but really just looked concerned.
'AH JUST GREAT!' thought Madison, 'what in the non-existent lords name could it be this time!' Lets see, her grades were fine, A's and B's, all right mainly B's but some A's, and a C fine but nothing different, her grades were steady. She hadn't broken curfew for months (not after the last incident). She hadn't done anything that would cause the authorities or school to call (nor had she ever done anything that rash.)' she decided she was curious enough to find out what all of this was about instead of throwing a fit, "yes?" she asked brightly.
"I've, well mainly your stepmother has been concerned about you, dying your hair and such."
"I've dyed it before"
"Yes well normal or highly temporary colors, never anything like this."
"But!"
"Wait till I finish!" her father looked shocked at his own sternness and had to gain his grounding again, "Though therapy did help last time you went through a 'phase'," Madison rolled her eyes, "I know how much you disliked the ordeal. So, since Jacob was planning on taking a semester or two off anyway, we've told him he can have his old room back until he decides what he wants to do. And we'll see if maybe having him around will make you fell any better, since I know you guys were close."
Madison had a huge grin on her face, her older brother rocked! This was great "Thanks for not sending me to a shrink dad!" said Madison giving her father a small peck on the cheek and going into her room.
Jacob was the coolest guy that Madison knew and she thanked her non-existent gods everyday that he was her brother, she was sure that without him she would in no way be able to survive her parents and sister.
Jacob was 22 years old and in a great college, he just didn't happen to be majoring in diddley squat, actually more correctly he was attempting to major in everything and was failing rather miserably. That was why he was taking awhile off to collect his thoughts. This much Madison knew from exchanging phone calls and e-mails, but she was simply ecstatic from the news that he was coming to the city.
Jacob was the perfect type of person for the city. He was an attractive bi-sexual, leaving him free to do pretty much anything he wanted. He was tall with bleached platinum hair though he had told Madison that he was letting the roots grow in, he had green eyes and was pretty tall, and he was funny and supportive. The perfect big brother type, also the perfect type of big brother for all of Madison's friends to fall in love with.
Jacob sat on the train back to the city telling the nice (and luckily liberal minded) old lady next to him about his ex-boyfriend.
"Well you know in my day it was illegal most places to be homosexual, and it's such a shame, I've heard all nice boys these days are homosexual, I always end up pitying the girls," sighed the woman.
"Oh I like girls to."
The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled shaking her head, "kids these days, they're so funny."
"Ah, don't worry about us, if we really want we all end up having a good time and keep ourselves safe, most of us are perfectly fine we just end up worrying the adults."
"Yes, parents these days do seem to worry so much, my grandkids have so little freedom."
"Ya no kidding! That's actually why I'm going to the city my father thinks that my kid sister is going through some sort of destructive phase, so he thinks I can help, I don't really care though she's cool."
"So nice of you, going home to help your family," the old woman was nodding off to sleep at this point so Jacob didn't continue the conversation.
Jacob stared out the window at the countryside going past him, country side, damn! Thank goodness he was going to the city all this countryside was enough to drive any man completely crazy! It would definitely be good to get home, his life was really getting to have no direction, he'd never had much direction in college, but his recent brake-up with his boyfriend, David, had been enough to send him over the edge. People thought it was easier to be bi, more choices, Jacob didn't think so. Men were dogs (and he was the first to admit that he could be dog like), and he never could understand women, gosh! His father thought that it would be good for Madison to see him, it would probably be a lot better for him to see Madison, she was a really level headed for a girl her age and a level head was definitely something he needed.
David had always had a level head, Jacob couldn't remember what went wrong, actually he could it was just one of those things that hurt so much to remember that he liked to block it out of his mind. Jacob didn't drink much, he thought alcohol tasted bad, and he's seen plenty of drunk people and it just didn't look like fun, though Jacob certainly remembered enjoying himself at the time.
It was just one night, but that's all it took. A female friend of his had invited him to a party at her sorority since she didn't have a date. It was boring besides the pretty girls. But he wasn't single. So due to lack of a better ideas he had a drink, suddenly he was enjoying himself a bit more, maybe it was the drink, maybe it was the direction the party was going in but anyway he thought it must be the drinks so he had another one. Jacob had very little immunity to alcohol and it had taken two drinks to get him completely pissed. Completely drunk, loads of sorority girls and their football player boyfriends, what could be better, or worse.
He couldn't remember all the girls, it ended up being a mass orgy. He'd been in a faithful relationship with David for over a year and girls were something he hadn't had for a while. Jacob could remember lots of breasts and lots of lipstick. Not that he only stuck to girls that night. Apparently Jacob wasn't the only one drinking, at the beginning of the night Jacob was the only gay/bi guy their, but by the end of the night at least three football players were going to have to rethink their sexual orientation.
It had definitely been a wild night and Jacob was now paying for it in spades. The college administration couldn't do anything about it thank goodness but David had heard all about it by the time Jacob got home the next morning. David had taken it really hard and it had been decided that they weren't going to see each other anymore.
The conductor walked through the car and informed Jacob that his stop was next, Jacob smiled and thanked him, and wiping a tear from his eye, went about collecting his things. He left the rest of some fudge he'd bought on the way to the train station for the old woman. He wrote her a little note thanking her for the conversation and company.
Jacob bustled his way out of the train, his stop just happened to be the most popular. He walked out of the train station and smiled at the welcoming site of the city surrounding him. He saw no reason to rush home, Madison would still be in school and going home might involve interacting with his father or stepmother. He decided to stop and get some coffee then head home and try and contact some old friends before Madison got there.
Jacob stepped out of the elevator balancing his luggage and hot coffee. As he searched for his keys he nearly tripped over a small goblin trying to jump up and reach the doorknob.
