"All right let's move bud. C'mon – get out of bed right now!" When
Schyler announced her entrance seconds before she opened the door, Seth had
been looking at some old pictured of the two of them and had just managed
to shove them under his bed before Schyler could see what he had. "I'm not
going out tonight. Sorry," Schyler gave him a look he knew well, Crap! I'm
going out whether I want to or not. Oh well...could use some air. "The
compassion in your voice is overwhelming, I think I'm gonna cry!" Schyler
was not pleased, and the sarcasm dripping from her words told Seth that.
"Move, I'm taking you to a movie and that's your say so let's get going."
She paused for a brief moment to give Seth the illusion that he had some
say in all of this, "NOW!" He jumped out of bed and threw on his jacket.
Well that got him going! I guess he just needs to be brought down a bit –
his parent's aren't exactly the bossy type. Maybe he just needs to be
challenged – well Cohen get ready for the challenge of your life! The
cousins headed out the door, not speaking or looking at each other and each
one planning their next move. Tonight's gonna be so much fun! I'll
just have to break her and she'll run crying home muah ha ha ha . Oh my
god! Do I really want to do this to her, look at her. She's so worried
about me and I'm being such an ass. Whatever, she doesn't know what I'm
going through and she can't just expect to show up after two years and
magically fix everything! Seth was battling with himself and Schyler could
see that. She knew he was hurting and wanted to help – but this was
something she had never seen before and wasn't quite sure how to handle it.
"So, what movie do you want to see? Action – horror – comedy – romance?" Schyler had no idea what to do and was hoping Seth would lighten up in the movie. "Nothing. This was your idea, so you chose." She sighed and realized this was not going to be easy. "Do you just want to rent a movie? Because we can do that too!" She gave a hopeful smile and Seth cooled down a bit. "Sure, but I don't care which one – just no chic flick, k?" Schyler's answer was an amazing smile and Seth seemed to open up just a tinsy bit more. This was what he had missed, and he wanted it back so badly.
"I've got it! Rocky Horror Picture Show! Remember when we used to stay up all night watching this? God those were the days, everything was so much simpler than now." She looked at Seth for a reaction. Nothing. "Yeah sounds good. Let's go." They drove home the same way they drove there...in silence. Whatever had opened him up before, was wearing off now.
They walked in together and Seth headed straight to the TV, but Schyler went to get some snacks. "Hey Ryan, what's cooking?" Ryan looked up from his magazine, "Chicken, Kirsten just finished it – Sandy's away again so she threw it out if that's what you're looking for." Schyler was a little surprised, "You know that's just saying right? I was asking how you are." Ryan blushed a bit and shrugged "Same as usual." Schyler nodded and the caught on, "So Sandy's out a lot and that's bother Kirsten? Do they fight some times?" Ryan nodded and kept reading, something about this girl made him want to tell her everything that had ever happened to her. What is with that? I don't trust anyone right away...so what's so special about her? She's cute that's for sure – but that would just be weird, I mean she's practically my cousin! Ryan shook his head to clear it and stared at Schyler for a few more seconds before returning to his magazine.
"You coming?" Seth grabbed the coke from the fridge and waited for Schyler. "Yeah gimme me a sec, I just want to talk to Ryan for a minute." Seth immediately went defensive and tried to shrug it off, "course you do, everyone does!" The sarcasm stung Ryan and he gave Seth a funny look before Seth turned and left. "Um, you know what that was about?" Schyler turned to Ryan who just shrugged and left to his room. "God! Is every guy like this!" She grabbed the popcorn and headed into the living room, only Seth wasn't there – he had gone up to his room since he was no longer in the mood for a movie. Schyler was about to go up and tell him to get down here when she remembered Ryan's advice and tried to think of a way to make him remember that they used to be able to talk about anything, then it hit her and she ran up to her room.
