The loud pounding of the heavy metal band at the front of the stage rang through Roxie's ears as she headbanged and jumped around excitedly to the music. Roxie rarely came to Southpaw because it all too often had stupid high school bands playing but every so often they would get a decent band at Karnivool, the one playing now was one of Roxie's favourites. She had come with some friends but they were nowhere to be seen now, probably because she had made the mistake of bringing the two who were dating and couldn't keep their hands off of each other but at least she'd brought someone. Now however she stood alone in the crowd quite happily enjoying her music and not worrying about anything around her. Although she did wish that she had someone around who she could enjoy it with, Roxie wasn't an ordinarily quiet person who enjoyed being alone, sure she had her times when she couldn't stand people and wanted them to go away but normally she enjoyed peoples company whether it was good or bad company, as long as she had someone to interact with she was happy.

Jake had needed to get out and see the world. Not be stuck in his dorm all the time. He was glad to be back at CHA but honestly he had spent most of the time sitting in his dorm video games. He hadn't really seen any of his friends since he came back and now he just wanted to have fun. Walking out onto the dance floor he looked around for someone he knew. Anyone really. Then he saw her. Walking over to Roxanne he tapped her on the shoulder and leaned close to her whispering into her ear, "Hey sexy."

Dancing, or more like headbanging, to the music she didn't hear or feel anyone coming up to her, oddly enough since people were pretty damn close in this place, until a voice said "Hey sexy" really close to her ear. Almost jumping out of her skin Roxie turned around and saw one of her close friends, Jake, and grinned widely.
"Hey dude, Sexy is not the word I would have used" she joked making her eyes dart up to her messy blonde hair that was once again in pigtails, that was her trademark look, blonde hair, pigtails and gothic clothes, She liked to think she was an individual although she doubted it very much but hey they do say that ignorance is bliss,"Speaking of sexy though" she said giving him a playful suggestive look before laughing and slinging an arm around his shoulders pulling him to the side of her.
"Now what are you doing here Jakey, if I'd have known this was your kind of thing I would have invited you" in truth she was just glad she now had someone she knew to be around. Jake was a great guy in Roxie's eyes and she was a naturally pessimistic person when it came to guys, she went with the almost slutty perspective of, use them and dump them. But Jake was one of the few she would never do that too.

"I came to see the band duh!" He said to her and shook his head. Jake smiled at her. "Well next time I will tell you. I didn't know you were comming back." He said to her and smiled at her. "I am sorry I didn't keep in touch with you. I had issures to deal with." He said

"Well next time I will tell you. I didn't know you were coming back.""I am sorry I didn't keep in touch with you. I had issures to deal with." he said and she just grinned at him in her usual happy-go-lucky way, "It's okay I never really noticed" she joked waving her hand dismissively as the song ended and another one started, just as loud and heavy as the past one. It was like having 100 people crammed Roxy's car.
"Is everything all better now?" she asked remembering all the trouble that he'd had the past year when they'd last talked. Roxy hadn't really had much contact with anyone from school since she'd gone to Argentina for a few weeks of the holidays.

Jake shrugged. "Kinda of." He said and shrugged. "I mean it could be better but there is nothing I can do about it." Then he thought of something. "Would you like to dance with me?" He asked her with a grin, "Just one little dance please for me. It will about the only action I will be getting tonight"
(sorry it is short but I am in a rush lol)

"Just one little dance please for me. It will about the only action I will be getting tonight" he asked making her laughed and shake her head, her messy blonde and black hair flying around, "Oh I don't know bet you can find someone around here, it's a pretty big place" she said to him raising an eyebrow comically before grabbing his hand and setting off through the crowd. From where they were they had to push their way through the crowd and down a flight of stairs to get to the dancefloor which was a piece of cake for Roxie who spent a lot of her time at places like this, she loved concerts to the point where she would go to ones of bands she didn't even like just so that she could be at one. They got down to the dancefloor and once Roxie had pulled them into about the middle of the floor she turned around and started to dance with him, swaying her hip a lot, as she tended to do, closely since there wasn't much room amongst the dancing crowd.

He grinned as she led him to the dance floor. Pulling, her close to him he danced behind her. "So what about you? Anything up with you?" He asked his arms around her waist and him grinning. "You certianly can dance." He said and as a waiter passed by carrying some beers he grabbed one off of it. Taking a drink from the bottle he grinned and started to sing with the music

"So what about you? Anything up with you?" he asked from behind her and she looked back grinning at him, "Yeah, I finally left the country, spent the summer in Australia, it was friggin' awesome, they have the most beautiful beaches" she told him happily remembering her time in Australia and glad that she had chosen there of all places to be her first ever out of America holiday. Roxy had been all around America but until the past holidays she hadn't been out of the country, but she had managed to get extra money from her never there parents and finally went. She hadn't even gone with anyone and had been quite content to stay in the backpackers lodgings.
"You certianly can dance." he commented and she grinned up at him tipping her head so she could see him, "Of course I can baby I'm a Lorenzo we're awesome dancers" she intentionally left out the part when her mother forced her to take dance lessons when she was a child and her mother was still around, "You on the other hand could do with some lessons" she joked grinning cheekily as he grabbed a beer from a waiter passing by, Roxy grabbed it from his hands after his first drink and down a bunch of it, she wasn't much of a beer fan but she really wanted the alcohol, she'd sleep in her car overnight or something to sleep it off before she drove.

"Hey! That wasn't nice of you." He said and stuck out his tounge at her. "I am not that bad of a dancer." A look of shock came on his face as she took his beer. "Hey that was mine!" He said with a laugh and took it back. Taking another drink he shook his head at her. "You are a goof you know that. A goof for stealing my beer!" He said with a laugh. "You really shouldn't steal a guys beer it just isn't nice." He said with his cute little pout on his face.

Roxie just laughed when Jake pouted spinning around with his arm still around her and a cheeky grin on her face. Her and Jake were always playful like this and not even the close proximity would minimise this. She gave him a cheeky and lifted a hand to poke him in the chest, "I don't recall claiming I was a nice person" she told him and poked him once for in the stomach this time for good measure, she was an awefully random person.

"Well I think you are." He said and giggled when she poked him. Then his hips pushed against hers in a hard motion and he looked at her with a grin. He was either going to get hit in the mouth for that or have it done back to him. He just wanted to do something daring for once.

Giving him a mocking shocked look she covered her mouth with one hand and said, "Your not supposed to do that, that's rude" before quickly reaching out and stealing his beer once again and taking a big swig, "You now owe me big time Mr, and I shall take that payment in beer and pain, watch your back Jakie" she said in a mocking voice before adding a fake evil laugh to the mix, something which didn't really work well for her. She did however step closer so that they were incredibly close and gave him an evil amused look.

"I will." He said and sighed. "I don't feel like dancing anymore." He said and backed away from her. He walked towards a booth and sat down with the beer. Starting at it he sighed again and just all of the sudden couldn't drink amyore.

Following him off the dance floor Roxy sat down across from him and leant on her hands patiently, "What happened Jake?" she asked having one of her rare serious moments. The loud music still blasting wasn't bothering her in the slightest. Grabbing her own beer from a waiter she drank it silently waiting for him to answer. She knew that something had happened that was bothering him she just had to get him to tell her what that was.

He sighed and looked at her. "My sister...." He then looked down. "Well you see her boyfriend who is also my best friend got heavly into drugs. He been in jail and the other day we were walking around and talking. Well a cop car pulled up and it seems they are letting him come to school. He looked so sorry for what he had done and looked a mess. I think he just wants to be with her again. She is really hurting and I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how to help her or anything." He said with a sigh.

Listening and nodding as he spoke Roxie took another swig of her drink before trying to decide what to say, "Well Jaky I don't think there is anything you can do at the moment" she said calmly and thoughtfully taking yet another swig before starting up again, "All you can really do is be there for them and hope that everything works out, and if it doesn't you've got to be the one capable of picking up the pieces for them"
She finished off her drink and pushed the bottle to the side before leaning her chin on her hands which were proped up by her elbows, "The fact that they're letting him out is a good thing, they wouldn't be if they still thought he was a risk"

He sighed and nodded. "I know but still like I dunno." He said and shook his head. "I just wish that she would forgive him you know. He made a mistake and everyone makes mistakes. And it isn't like he is totally out. He only gets sundays as actual time to do anythin gand even then he isn't allowed to leave the grounds." He said and sighed.

Nodding once again Roxie ran a hand through her hair calmly, "Some people don't forgive easily, you can't just betray someone's trust and hurt them and no expect it to take time for them to forgive" she said shrugging slightly still comfortably leaning on her arms, "Everyone does make mistakes, your right but he needs to deal with the concequences of his actions just like everyone. Maybe he'll learn from them and maybe he won't but there's nothing that can be done about it by anyone but himself"

"I know but I still wish I could help him more. Both of them more cause they are hurting ever so much." He said with a sigh and looked around. "Hey do you wanna just get out of here? We can go chill out at my dorm and relax." He sighed. "I really really don't want to stay here anymore and I don't want to go alone." He said to her. He then chugged his beer and sat there thinking about what they could do in his dorm.
"If you come we could play video games a bit. Does that sound like fun?" He asked her with a grin. "And have some ice cream and gummy bears! How does that sound? And some vodka. If we have some that is."

Roxie shrugged not knowing what else say, she'd said all the could think of and it hadn't made much of a difference but she had tried and that was the only thing she could do.
"Hey do you wanna just get out of here? We can go chill out at my dorm and relax.""I really really don't want to stay here anymore and I don't want to go alone." he asked and she nodded in agreement, "Sure mate" as long as she could find a way to cheer him up a bit, "How did you get here? I've got my car out front"
She laughed when he mentioned what he had at his dorm and exclaimed excitedly, "Oh VODKA and GUMMI BEARS, the ultimate combination" standing up and grabbing his arm, she had never had a problem with crowds and barely even noticed when she pushed through the middle of some chatting people and out to the exit.

"I took a ca...." He didn't get to finish his sentence as she pulled him up and out of the club. "We can take your car." He said with a laugh and shook his head. "You are strong wow you pulled me up like there was no tommorrow!" He said with another laugh and followed her. As they got to her car he smiled. "May I get the door for you or because it is your car I can't?" He asked.
Looking around as they stood outside he smiled. "God look at the moon it is beautiful!" He said with a smile. "I really wish I had my camera with me. What a shot that would be." He said with a smile and looked at her. "Alright lets go..." Then he realized something. "We have to run and pick up ice cream. Ryan ate it all on me!"

"I can open my own door sweetie, after all I'm superwomen remember, but sshh don't tell anyone" she joked and to anyone who didn't know her she probably came off drunk but she was wasn't even tipsy, just a little on the nutty side.
"Oh I so want chocolate, and turkish delight, OH and double choc with chocolate bits in it" she told him excitedly digging the keys from her pocket and clicking off the immobilisation letting them in. Oh the wonders of modern technology she thought to herself giving Jake a big grin before getting in the car, shoving the key in and reving the engine, sure it wasn't the most fast looking car but this baby could really do the miles.

Jake shook his head head and watched the city streets pass him by. It wasn't long before they stopped and he got out. "Come on then lets get this ice cream." He said and walked over to her. Once she was out of the car he grabbed her hand and looked at her. It was like something clicked in Jake in that moment.
Pulling her close he kissed her softly and gently. A kiss that a lover would give another and then pulled away. "I have missed you so much. I really really like you and I was too scared to say anythinb but I just thought I finally should."

Roxie was in no way shocked when he grabbed her hand after getting out of the car outside the local shopping center, they'd walked like this many times in the past so it was nothing new. But when he'd kissed her like he did it shocked her immensely. She had not expected something like that at all.
She listened to what had to say with a silence that was almost unnatural to her, one she only ever held for end of year exams. Once he'd finished with what he'd had to say she took seconds to think it over in her head before giving him a smile and stepping closer and kissing him back just the same as he had kissed her, "I missed you too Jakie" she said before grabbing his hand again and walking into the shopping center, "Now let's get that ice cream"
