Xqulth: Hey all, thanks for reviewing. There are a few things I'd like to confront first. First off, I forgot about Griffin and his wonderful cursing. I will be trying to get his character written correctly (No cursing does not bother me) and basically trying not to ultimately fail. Second off, I did plan on having another chapter yesterday (Tuesday) but then I realized, LOST comes on, on Tuesdays so yea, if any of you plan on having a chapter on Tuesdays you better write it yourself…
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
I sat in a small hotel room in the city of Sapporo which is in Japan. Anberlin's Never Take Friendship Personal was blaring from my Ihome's speakers. Sighing I picked up my snowboard and unplugged my Ipod. As I pulled on my snow jacket, boots, gloves and goggles, I plugged my earbuds into the headband that covered my ears.
There's a hatchet, got a knife
When I awoke there was nothing real in this life
But dreams are so intoxicating
when you're doing this alone
Gun, rope, brick on the way
But words have no meaning
when it's you that says, "I really do care"
No baby I, I really do care
I looked up and saw the mountain empty of any souls that could see me when I Jumped. Taking a deep breath, I looked up at the mountain again and Jumped. I landed hard in the snow and stood up, throwing my board into the snow. As I felt the familiar whoosh of air from a Jump, I slammed my boots into the straps and sped down the hill.
Innocence gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
why should I hold you now?
In a sense gone,
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
why should I hold you now?
The air hit against my skin, cooling the heat that usually surrounded it. Behind me I could hear a snowboard coming down after me. If he wanted to talk, he'd have to catch me first. The snow began to blur as I thought of one of the best places that I went snowboarding once. I Jumped to Northern Canada and continued boarding, dodging the many trees and rocks. Behind me, I heard him cussing his heart out and I had to bite back laughter.
Once a skeptic, now the critic
And you figured you finally
found a place of your own
Amongst the cold and timid souls
Where only failure knows your name
Look around for the closest to blame
But look no further than the
hands beneath your arms
And now you're six feet down
buried with, with your passing fame,fame,fame, FAME
As I came to the bottom of the hill, I was tackled to the ground by a furious Griffin. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe at this part and Griffin had me pinned to the ground with a scowl on his face. When I finally caught my breath, I looked up at Griffin with my head tilted to the side,
"How the hell did you find me?" I asked, blinking tears from my eyes. Griff's scowl hadn't left his face,
"Why the hell did you leave? That girl is damn annoying and I can't take her any longer." He said and I cocked my head to the other side and laughed in his face.
"I dealt with her every damn day, except she wasn't my friend; she was giving me the cold shoulder." I retorted and pushed him off of me. Standing up, I slid my feet out of my board's straps, I picked it up and Jumped back to my hotel room. With the board leaning up against the wall, I began to pack my stuff.

If you can't hold yourself together

Griffin Jumped in and caught the stress ball I threw at him with ease. I scowled myself and I threw my clothes in a military style bag. Jumping to an ally next to a small café outside Detroit, Michigan, I walked up to the front and walked in, getting a booth. Hearing the bell ring in the front of the café I looked up to see Griffin walking in, I scowled as he sat across from me. He tilted his head slightly and I had to laugh. Griff's eyebrows furrowed as he grew confused. Our waitress walked up and I ordered a Mr. Pibb and a plain cheeseburger, Griffin ordered a Root Beer and cheese fries.
oh, oh, oh, you lie
Tell me something more than what you tried to hide
If you can't find yourself
Then how can i expect to find you
oh, oh, oh, you cry
Tell me something more than what you try
The greatest tragedy is not your death
but a life without reason
life has no purpose
a life has no reason
life has no purpose
"Why did you do it?" I asked softly and he looked up at me confused,
"Do what?" My eyes rose to meet his deep, honey brown ones. I could drown in those eyes and I would die a happy person.
"Why did you move to Chicago, why did you lead them there?" My voice got softer and softer until I honestly didn't think he could hear it. He smiled gently, a thing that seemed very out of character for him.
"It's not like I actually meant to do it. They just followed me from one hell to another."
"So Chicago is hell?" I looked at him, my eyes saying 'Choose your words carefully'. He sighed and put his head on his hands, which rested on the table.
"You take everything as an insult don't you?" He retorted to my words.
"It's what has gotten me through life so far." I answered him and he looked at me again, I continued, "So, what's your story?" I asked quietly, truly curious.
Griffin looked up at me, "My story is my story. No one knows it 'cept me." I nodded, knowing the feeling of wanting at least one secret to yourself.

I paid for my meal and Jumped back to the desert. Behind me, I heard Griffin Jump after me. I walked up towards Alex and Casey. There were several sticks lying on the ground, I picked three up and looked towards them.
"Hey, heads up!" I shouted at them. They spun around and I tossed them each a stick and took the third one as my own. Griffin walked up behind me,
"Let's see if we can get these two into fighting shape." I smirked at the comment and swung the stick to the left, where he was standing. He bent over as the wooden staff hit his stomach with surprising force.
"Yes, let's."
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Xqulth: that was an interesting chapter to write. Oh! I thought I might add the fact that I don't own any of the songs that pop up on here. It will probably be mainly Anberlin. So my dear wonderful readers…complete this sentence and get a cookie.
