'That hurts Robbie. It's just a swimsuit ad.'

'YOU DO NOT NEED ME THERE ANYWAY'

midnightVigilante Fri Nov 15, 2013 11:25 pm

'But I would like it if you were there.' Jo sighed and put her phone down. She just wanted positive attention from the elder Egbert. At this point she was willing to do anything to get him to notice her.

'SO YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO EMBARRASS ME IN FRONT OF YOUR COLLEAGUES?'

midnightVigilante Fri Nov 15, 2013 11:30 pm

'No. I like have visitors at work. I just want you to come see me Robert.'

Jo put her phone down on the coffee table. Really, who was she trying to fool. Robert wasn't going to date her. To him she was still a a little girl and that's all she would ever be. She'd probably settle for some dumb jock and be in a miserable relationship.

Dirk was back almost ten minutes later in fresh clothes. "Ready?"

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:01 am

Jo sighed quietly as she got up. "Yeah. We can take my car."

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:04 am

An hour before they were due to leave to meet up at Rhonda's, everyone was ready to go, but Dirk was nowhere to be found. John had returned with Dave after school and he was sitting on the futon watching a movie with Dave.

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:19 am

Jo was sitting at the far end of the futon by herself. She was in the outfit Dirk had picked out at the mall, shadeless, and she looked grumpy. She kept mumbling under her breath about how she looked ugly and plain. Dave was only half awake, leaning against John and only vaguely paying attention to the movie that was on. Jeff was still in the bathroom, getting ready to go.

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:22 am

John shifted uncomfortably as muffled noises could be heard from the wall. "Jeff, they're starting it again"

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:28 am

Jeff grumbled something as he joined them in the living room. "We don't have time to deal with his shit. Where's Dirk? It's time for us to leave for dinner." Jo muttered something about being ugly again as she stood and grabbed her keys. "I'm taking my car. Gonna drive with me Daveybird?" The youngest Strider nodded and got up to go with her. Jeff grinned and winked at John. "Ready?"

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:31 am

John nodded. "I thought we didn't have to be there for another hour"

There was a muffled moan from next door then a yell. "OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS? ITS THE FUCKING LIVINGROOM! YOU PROMISED IT WAS NEUTRAL TERRITORY!"

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:34 am

Dave was holding Jo's hand as they left the apartment. Jeff snorted and rolled his eyes as the shout came from next door. "Poor kid has to deal with that shit. Rhon wanted me to get their early tonight. Needs help or something."

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:38 am

"We have to deal with it too" John mumbled.

"FUCKING SERIOUSLY, YOU KNOW I ALWAYS GET HOME FROM STUDYING AROUND THIS TIME AND YOU'RE IN THE LIVINGROOM FUCKING THE GODDAMN NEIGHBOR! LIKE IT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE TWO OF YOU FROM MY ROOM WHEN I'M HOME!"

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:43 am

Jeff rolled his eyes again. "Fucking the neighbor. How cliche is that." He slipped his shoes on as he searched for his keys on the coffee table. After a minute he paused. There were only four apartments on this floor. The two across from their side were the homes to an ederly couple and a middle aged elementary school teacher with 7 cats. Wait a minute.....

"FUCKING THE NEIGHBOR?" He was almost instantly storming out of the apartment and next door. He started pounding on the door. "DIRK, I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE."

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:47 am

John hurriedly followed Jeff out, grabbing Jeff's keys as an afterthought.

Dirk cursed loudly from inside the apartment.

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:49 am

Jeff was still pounding on the door. "DIRK YOU HAVE A MINUTE BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE."

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 12:55 am

"I'm coming! Let me get my fucking pants back on!" Dirk practically snarled.

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 1:00 am

Jeff crossed his arms and scowled.

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 1:45 am

"You're such a fucking jackass! I want one thing!" Dirk snarled, his voice getting farther away. "I get you're scared of him Saw, but could you at least kiss me goodbye before you go hide your ass in your room like a wuss"

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 1:49 am

Jeff was glaring at the neighbor's door. "Go start the car John."

**solarOrigins** Sat Nov 16, 2013 1:54 am

John shook his head. "I don't think I should. You can't be trusted when you're mad"

midnightVigilante Sat Nov 16, 2013 1:55 am

"John. Do not argue with me right now. Go start the fucking car."
