Topic: The Park

A park a few blocks away from the Holden Home, between it and the Morgan Home. There is a small playground with two swings and a set of monkey bars. A small pond is in the center. The grass is lush and green and flowers are scattered everywhere, creating a beautiful scene. There are a few trees scattered throughout.

Josh led Addy to the park.

#2 Jan 18th, 10:30pm

Addy smiled when they came to the park, she still loved it here.

"This place has never changed." she said softly, looking around with a smile.

#3 Jan 22nd, 2:23pm

He looked at her. "Why would it? Many fought and died to keep the way of living here the same," he answered.

#4 Jan 22nd, 2:33pm

"I know." she answered, "It's just, so many things seem to change... all the time but places like this... they're still the same." she smiled up at him, "I'm just glad, that's all."

#5 Jan 22nd, 2:35pm

"I'm glad as well." He looked around the park, taking in the serenity of it all. "It's places like this that bring me hope for the future...and remind me of why so many have fought in the past."

#6 Jan 22nd, 2:51pm

"Exactly." Addy nodded, agreeing. She grinned nad pulled him over to the swings, "Push me?" she asked like a little girl with a sweet smile.

#7 Jan 22nd, 2:53pm

Josh smiled and followed her over to the swings, where he began to push her gently.

#8 Jan 22nd, 4:20pm

She grinned and laughed,

"I haven't been on a swing in years."

#9 Jan 22nd, 4:22pm

He chuckled. "Well, you look good there. You should do this more often."

#10 Jan 22nd, 4:29pm

"Only if you're with me." she answered with a smile.

#11 Jan 22nd, 4:31pm

Josh smirked. "I should be able to arrange that."

#12 Jan 22nd, 4:37pm

"Well, as long as you can fit me into your schedule." she joked.

#13 Jan 22nd, 4:38pm

"I will always fit you into my schedule, no matter what."

#14 Jan 22nd, 4:39pm

She grinned, "Good, because I don't know how you'll go with my schedule." she teased him, sounding serious.

#15 Jan 22nd, 4:41pm

He nodded. "Of course. You do have a rather busy schedule."

#16 Jan 22nd, 4:42pm

Addy chuckled and shook her head at him,

"Of course, especially at the moment. My day consists of... you, you and... you. Sorry, I'm all full up."

#17 Jan 22nd, 4:44pm

He smirked, watching her swing. "My day consists of you, you, and helping Will."

#18 Jan 22nd, 4:45pm

She gave a smirk of her own and closed her eyes as she swung, trusting him completely. She loved the way her stomach spun when she closed her eyes like this... it made her dizzy but also made her smile.

#19 Jan 22nd, 4:50pm . Edited Jan 22nd, 4:51pm

Josh watched her swing, a big almost goofy grin on his face. After a few moments he sobered slightly. "You know we can't stay here long. I need to get back to the house before we get too busy. I know Will can handle it but I don't like to leave him alone."

#20 Jan 23rd, 5:05am

Addy slowed her swing down as she nodded,

"I know... should we go now?" she asked, twisting the swing around to look at him.

#21 Jan 23rd, 2:48pm

Josh looked at his watch. "We can stay for a little while longer, if you'd like to."

#22 Feb 25th, 7:04am

Josh sighed after a while. "Addy, are you ready to leave? I need to get back to Will."

#23 Mar 02nd, 12:42pm

She'd been daydreaming and jumped at the sound of his voice, grinning sheepishly,

"Sorry, yeah. We'd better go. Sorry." she jumped up, straightening herself out.

#24 Mar 03rd, 5:13pm

Josh smiled. "So, do you want to go back to your house or to mine?" he asked.

#25 Mar 03rd, 5:15pm

She shrugged, "I'd better get home but... you should go help Will."

#26 Mar 03rd, 5:16pm . Edited Mar 03rd, 5:20pm

He nodded. "I'll see you later then," he answered, leaning forward and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.

#27 Mar 03rd, 5:21pm

She nodded and smiled at him,

"Tell him I said hello."

#28 Mar 03rd, 5:56pm

"I will," he answered.

((To Speakeasy))

#29 Mar 03rd, 6:14pm

She watched him go then stood, stretching and decided to head home.

((Holden Home))

#30 Mar 04th, 2:57am

((From Morgan's Speakeasy))

Samara walked to the Park and sat down on a bench, blankly looking out at the open grassy area.

#31 Apr 05th, 7:47am

As she sat there, the tears began to fall again. This wasn't how she had imagined things going.

#32 Apr 05th, 10:24am

Aldo wondered around and sat at a random bench, his head in his hands.

#33 Apr 07th, 1:30pm

After what felt like an eternity, Samara stood up and started to walk down the path, heading out of the park.

#34 Apr 07th, 1:47pm

Slowly after a while Aldo rose and walk toward the exit to the park.

(If they bumped into each other that'd be pretty ak. Should we do it? You seen scotty snice this moring?)

#35 Apr 07th, 2:00pm

Samara paid attention to nothing around her. Everyone in the park seemed to be running around and laughing, everything she wasn't.

((They could run into each other. Sorry, haven't seen Scotty.))

#36 Apr 07th, 2:09pm

Aldo counted down the path, unknowingly veering toward Sammy. He brithes were heavy as he remembered Carlo as a kid. He moved between rage and sadness very few moments.

#37 Apr 07th, 2:19pm

Samara stopped suddenly and took a few deep breaths. Her uncle Mark was dying...leaving behind his five-year-old son. It didn't seem like it was really happening. Mark had always been a little rough around the edges most of the time but he had been a great father...and now he wouldn't get to see Cole grow up.

#38 Apr 07th, 2:24pm

Aldo saw Sammy and stopped in his tracks, she looked worse off than he was. He didn't know what to make of it. For some reason seeing her sad made his spirits plummet even further.

#39 Apr 07th, 2:31pm

She took a moment to gather herself and then started walking down the path again, heading out of the park.

#40 Apr 07th, 2:34pm

Aldo called, "Sammy." in a worried tone.

#41 Apr 07th, 2:43pm

She whirled around and saw Aldo standing just a few feet away. Oh God...not this, not now. She bit her lip and said nothing.

#42 Apr 07th, 2:46pm

He halted knowing she was fighting with something. "You look terrible. What happened

#43 Apr 07th, 2:50pm

"My uncle is dying," she said, trying to hide the venom in her voice. Talking to a DeLuca was the last thing she had on her mind, especially considering what was going on.

#44 Apr 07th, 2:56pm

"I'm s-sorry," said Aldo. "My brother was killed last night, I don't what to do." He reached out to hug her.

#45 Apr 07th, 2:58pm

She backed away from him. As much as she wanted physical human contact right now, she didn't know if she could get close to him without having the insane urge to kill him.

#46 Apr 07th, 3:30pm

He was a tiny bit taken aback when she backed away, but not overly surprised. "This isn't a good for both us I guess." "I guess we both have a lot on our minds and i'm not sure if we should share our thoughts with each other but as long as were here..."

#47 Apr 07th, 3:51pm

"Do you want to know what's on my mind?" she asked angrily.

"My uncle is dying and it's because of the DeLuca's!"

Now this statement does not reveal anything about who Samara actually is...mainly for the fact that the mob is more than just the Holden family...there are a lot of other men who are affiliates or members of the mob.

#48 Apr 07th, 3:56pm

"My God," he said feeling sick, he was to blame becuse he had thier blood. "I'm s-sorry. I know it doesn't matter, but I want you to to know I took no part of it. I would never hurt anyone close to you."

(And he knows cuz Marco said Carlo was killed by the Holdens, he can put two and two together.)
