updater.Aaaanyway, I should probably start writing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Atlas opened her eyes, to be instantly blinded by the sunlight that was burning its way in through a crack in the curtains. She frowned, her room wasn't East facing, so the rising sun shouldn't be in her face. She rolled over, blinked once, and smirked as memories of last night flooded back. Kai lay beside her, still asleep, his bare, well muscled chest gently rising and falling as he breathed, he looked almost cute when he was asleep. This must be Kai's room.
Atlas's spirits were high as she swung her legs out of bed and went to have a shower.
It was almost 20 minuets later when Kai woke up, he could hear female voices and the smell of pancakes. He drowsily got out of bed and walked into the kitchen at the same time as Johnny, Matt already sat at the table, watching as Riley and Atlas cooked.
Both Kai and Johnny sat a little way a way from Matt, neither really liked him too much, particularly Johnny. Kai watched the girls, he could get used to this kind of routine, waking up after sleeping with Atlas to breakfast.
"Ready for the slopes guys ?" Said Riley.
The others nodded, Riley's eyes travelled to Johnny, he was staring blankly at the tabletop, ever since that night, when she had told him that she had a boyfriend, he had been so distant, Riley regretted it, it had been so much more fun when they were doing the class project, they had been such good friends. And what's more, ever since then she had been feeling differently about Matt. He was any girls dream guy, handsome, kind, sweet, total, a little possessive... and a good friend.
She needed time to talk with Johnny, but Matt was always there, with an arm around her waist, or a kiss on her cheek. She sighed to herself, handing out plates of pancakes to the boys, a plan forming in her mind. In the distant she heard her cell phone ring.
"I'll be back." Riley said handing Johnny the last plate and running out of the kitchen.
She grabbed her cell off the coffee table in the living room and walked into her room.
"Hello?" Riley asked.
"Hey Rev's." Alex said.
"Hey what's up." Riley smirked hearing the voice of her best friend.
"Listen can you do me a favor?" Alex asked.
"What kind of favor?" Riley asked.
"Break up with Matt." Alex said swiftly.
"What? Why?" Riley asked curiously.
"Well, if you break up with him today, then well, I get a million dollars." Alex said clearly pleased.
"What the fuck!" Riley snapped she couldn't believe it was just for money.
"Please for me?" Alex begged.
"Gimmie half and it's a deal." Riley smirked, this fell right into her plan.
"Good, sides I never really liked him anyways." Alex smirked.
"What's up with people not liking him?" Riley asked.
"Jealousy obviously." Alex scoffed.
"So it did work." Riley thought out loud.
"Did what wo-" Before Alex could finish his sentence Riley hung up on him.
::My life's great, I get Johnny and half a million in one day." Riley smirked.
::This has bad written all over it mistress.:: Shadow warned.
::Let me do what I want for once Shadow.:: Riley whined.
::Fine but don't blame me miss.:: Shadow sighed.
*~*~*~*
Riley whisked around on her board staying quite close to Johnny, Matt with her. Atlas was doing better than Riley thought she would, her and Kai were acting differently around each other, something had happened between them last night, she could pretty much hazard a guess at what, she grinned to herself, it was about time too.
She watched as Kai bent down as he went and scooped up a handful of snow, throwing it at Atlas. They were acting like children together, neither of them seemed to care for their reputation at the moment, they were just ........what was the word ........playing, with each other.
Riley almost chuckled out loud at the thought of Kai and Atlas actually playing.
It was time to put her plan into motion. She sped up, zooming off ahead of Johnny and Matt. She smirked, suddenly she pitched the front of her board downwards, so it sank into the snow, she went flying, she fell in a crumpled heap, and rolled for about a meter, the board had come loose, now only attached to one of her feet. She wasn't it any pain, but she decided to play it up a bit. She groaned and sat up, instantly Johnny was standing over her, removing the board from her other foot silently. Concern painted on his handsome features. Matt arrived a few seconds later, he knelt down next to her and tried to help her up.
"Riley, are you okay Honey ?" He breathed.
Riley bit her lip and moaned again.
"Uhh, no, I think I've sprained my ankle, someone is going to have to take me back up to the cabin." she said.
Matt nodded and started hauling her up.
"No !" she snapped, almost too sharply, he stopped. "Uhh, look Matt, I don't want to stop you from boarding, I can come up here any time with Tas, I'm sure Johnny won't mind taking me." She said, giving him her best puppy- eyed look.
"Well...Okay, if your sure..." He said uncertainly.
He passed her over to Johnny so he was supporting her weight, only a small frown graced his features as he put an arm around her waist and drew her into him so he could help her better. Johnny left his board in the snow.
"Make sure it doesn't get left here." he mumbled to Matt, and started back up the hill.
Matt watched them go.
*~*~*~*
There was silence between the two, until they reached the cabin, when they finally got back, Johnny lowered Riley onto a sofa.
"I'll get a cloth to bathe your ankle." He mumbled.
"Johnny, wait !" She said. He looked around, and saw her stand up firmly, un-swaying, and stand solidly on her feet.
"You can walk ?" He asked.
She sighed.
"Yes, I'm fine." She said.
"Then why..." he trailed off, not sure what he was supposed to say, Riley had clearly planned this.
"I wanted some time with you Johnny, we haven't spoken for so long." She said.
Johnny smirked, she went to all this trouble just to get some time alone with him, there was hope for him yet. He came over to her and sat down with her on the couch.
"Well, then, speak." Said the Scotsman.
Riley sighed. Now that she was here, she didn't know what exactly it was that she wanted to say, she hadn't thought about that, she decided to let the confused emotions that were swirling around her head about Matt talk for themselves.
"Well...its just that, well, ever since you tried to..." She squared her shoulders, there was no point in avoiding areas, they were both there, they each knew what had happened. "Ever since you tried to kiss me." She said, "Its like, I've had this stone in my chest that gets heavier every time I see either you, or Matt. I don't know what I'm meant to do about it. Johnny, I ..." Once again her voice trailed off, and there was a short silence before Johnny broke it.
"Riley, you know how I feel, but it's what you feel and what you want that matters, I can't tell you what to do, you have to do what you think is right."
He said.
Riley locked gazes with him, each lost in each other's eyes...they didn't hear the crunch of snow as someone approached the cabin. Riley looked at him, leaning back on the sofa, waiting for her to play the next move in the game they had been caught up in since the day they met. With a smirk, she decided to make it. She leant forward, pressing her lips to his. In that small movement, the weight that had been prominent in her chest vanished as their tongues raged a miniature war within their mouths.
"Riley ?" came a voice from the open door.
The two snapped apart, and Riley gasped in shock, Matt stood staring at her, a look of hurt and confusion written on his face, which quickly changed to that of anger.
"What the Hell are you doing ?!" he yelled at Johnny, "You bastard get away from her !"
He started forwards, Johnny standing, relishing the thought of beating the shit out of Matt, but Riley jumped between the two.
"Stop it ! It wasn't Johnny, Matt, it was me ok ?" she said. Once again the look of hurt crossed his face.
"Why ?" he asked.
Riley sighed. "Johnny, could you give us a minuet?" she asked. He complied, walking to his room and closing the door, he couldn't help a small smirk, it was about time something good happened for him.
When he was gone, Matt repeated his question. Riley looked at him.
"I'm sorry Matt, I...... its just, your such a wonderful guy, but, your not for me. I want it to be like when we we're in high school, ya know when we were just good friends, but that's all, its not going to work."
"So you cheated on me with HIM ?" He asked.
"No !" she yelled.
"How long, huh ?" he asked.
"Listen to me Matt, listen ! There was nothing but that kiss, I swear it. I love you Matt, but only as much as I love Tas, as a friend." He looked down, his anger fleeing.
"So that's it huh?" he said, "That's the end of it?"
Riley shook her head.
"Matt, its not like that, I just......I can't be with you anymore, its too complicated to explain."
Matt nodded.
"Ok," He said, "Just, give me a hug." He said.
Riley reached up, putting her arms around his neck, they stood like that for a few minuets, before Matt pulled away.
"He's lucky, I'm going to miss you." He said.
"I'll miss you too." She told him.
It was strange, her and Matt, were the same in so many ways, yet, totally different.
*~*~*~*
Matt had left before Atlas and Kai got back, he had called for a snowmobile to come and collect him. He and Johnny had tensely shaken hands, a kind of mutual respect now stood between them.
When finally the two teens got back Riley and Atlas retreated to Atlas' room for what Kai and Johnny assumed was 'Girl-time'.
"I've finally done it Tas! I dumped Matt, I actually did it!" she said, sounding happy and relieved.
Atlas grinned at her friend, drawing her white hair back into a high ponytail.
"Good, that guy was way too... cheerful!" She said, "Anyway, you and Johnny make a great couple."
"Heh, as great as you and Kai ?" She said.
"No one is that great." She said.
"So, how was he in bed?" She asked.
Atlas glared at her. "I don't know what your talking about !" She said.
"Oh cummon ! There are only two ways you can feel the morning after; like complete shit, or like your on top of the world." She said. "When you feel on top of the world, you tend to act like your five years old, and from what I've seen, that's what you and Kai have been doing." She concluded, nodding wisely.
"Shut up !" Was all Atlas could say and threw a pillow at her friend. After the short fight that followed Atlas flopped back on her bed which she had abandoned last night.
"So, you and Johnny, huh?" She said.
Riley giggled.
"Yeah, it just feels right, you know?" she said.
"well, we can't keep them waiting too long, those two slobs are gonna start wondering why dinner hasn't miraculously appeared yet." Atlas said, and went to find Kai.
When she did find him, he was standing in his room on his cell phone.
"Fuck you Tala!" He spat.
Atlas stood quietly by the door, she stood, listening to the conversation that followed.
"I don't care what you say...No, I don't like her at all yet, and I never will. I'm only going out with her to prove you wrong !" he spat down the receiver. Kai didn't like saying those words, he knew that he did like Atlas, a lot, a Hell of a lot.
"Fuck you! After this vacation, then that's it! Why would I like such a fucking bitch anyway...God for the last time NO! Jesus Tala, I swear when I get back I'm gonna beat the crap outta you !" he snapped and hung up.
He sighed and turned around, only to meet with a pair of jet eyes. Atlas stood there, quivering in fury, her fists clenched by her sides. A swirl of emotions stormed in her ebony depths, as Kai looked at her, he saw the very edges of her iris's turn a stunning shade of bright blue in her anger, and pain.
"Is that really all I am ?" she hissed, her voice barely above a whisper. "Is that all I am to you Kai? A tool to prove your pathetic little friends that you're a big man who can shag a woman and then just cast her aside ?" As she spoke her voice dropped lower and lower.
"Atlas...I..." he said.
He was stopped as her hand sung across his cheek, he grunted in pain, she had slapped him.
"Don't Kai." She said before he could speak.
"You're a twisted bastard, what kind of sick game were you playing, last night? Today?" She asked, her anger quickly melting into raw pain and hurt, she held back, not allowing her eyes to weep, not for him!
"I hate you, you evil little shit !" She yelled, she turned on her heel, and stormed back to her room, slamming the door. She started packing her things, she couldn't stay here, not in the same place as Kai, she was going back to school, back home, she was leaving, going back to England.
