He cringed slightly and sighed "sorry..." He stopped brushing her hair and kissed her cheek
She sighed "come home haru" she whispered, holding a hand out to him

Alice shook her head. "No, it's not your fault my parents were like that. No need to apologize."
Haru tried to hit down her hand, but missed. "Why should I? No one there even wants me."
-
He nods and holds a hand out to her "then let's be off" he smile his usual smile before beushing his own hair quickly
She stares at him in silence, pain in her eyes. Finally she opened her mouth and said "i want you there....momiji want you there too...." She sniffed gently and let her hand drop
-
Alice grabbed his hand. It felt nice to just be able to do that. "Okay, let's go."
Haru hit his fist against the bar. The bartender yelled out, but the black and white haired boy didn't care. He got up, dropping the money on the counter before stumbling out, shouldering past Reece.
Wait. Haru's only 15...
-
He lead her to te dining room and sat at a two seated table
She gasped and fell back, hitting her head against the bar. She slowly got up and walked back home, sniffing and trying not to cry
Yeah, in the story he looses his v plates at 14, drinks and smokes
-
Okay then... And I was gonna have him fall down and Reece would have to help his sorry *ss back home.
Alice looked around worriedly. "Do you know where Reece and Haru went?"
Outside the bar, Haru was stumbling to get back home. Suddenly, he lost his footing and tripped, falling onto his hands and knees.
-
He shakes his head "But I'll assume they're together in his room" he smiled
She frowned as she saw him and walked over, grabbig his arms and pulling him up. "Are you okay?" She said in her musical voice, brushing some hair out his face
-
Alice laughed. "Maybe." She still felt somewhat worried though. "Do you think we should check?"
Haru frowned, looking at the ground. "No." He admitted.
Chester See's song reminds me of Momiji and Alice after what just happened.

oiji nod and gets up, heading towards Hatsuharu's room
She smiled sadly and put his arm round her houlders, helping him walk along.
-
Alice followed him, somewhat reluctantly. What if they interrupted something? No, Reece wasn't like that. But for some reason Alice kept second guessing herself. Maybe it was from the information overload she got today.
Haru's face was twisted into an expression of pain and regret. "I'm so sorry. I don't deserve people like you and Momiji." He sighed. "I don't know why you don't just give up on me. You could be so much happier." He stumbled along, continuing his thought. "Maybe that's why I stayed with Rin. I just wanted you to find happiness somewhere else. I almost wanted you to give up on me, yet I wasn't willing to completely let you go. You deserve more than a guy like me." He gave an unamused laugh.
-
She stayed silent through his little speech but felt her heart breaking inside. She stared at the ground or straight ahead as she helped him walked and mentally cheered as they got near the estate. "Is that what you want?" she whispered "For Momo and me to leave you alone?"
Momiji knocks, and waits, and knocks again, and waits. When there was no answer he turned to Alice with a frown
-
Alice looked between the door and Momiji. "Do you think we should open it? Maybe they're in Reece's room, or outside."
"I... Yes. No. I just..." He sighed, giving up. "I just want you to be happy. I simply think I'm not the right person to do it."
-
Momiji sighs and shrugs slightly "I don't know....They might not even be together, I just assumed..." He scratche dhis head gently
She sniffed gently "Okay" She forces out, voice shaky. So this is what rejection feels like... She thinks sadly. AS she carried him along a tear dripped down her face but she wiped it away quickly and opened the door "we're home" she informs him
-
Haru stopped just before she opened the door. "I want you Reece. I want to be with you, but I'm not... good." He then let her open the door.
Alice heard the door open. "Maybe that's them!" She grabbed Momiji's hand and pulled him along. She saw the clearly drunk Haru along with a heartbroken Reece. Freezing in her tracks, she clung onto Momiji's hand, unsure what to do.
-
momiji he.d her hand tight, staring at his broken sister adn drunk best friend. He dropped Alice's hand and ran to Reece, pulling her into a hug, disregarding Haru completely
Reece gasped softly before hugging back. She squeezed her eyes shut to hold the tears in, not wanting to break down in front of the man that turned her down. Being rejected was bad enough, but being told the feeling was mutual and then being rejected anyway was the last straw. She slowly broke down, crying on her brother's shoulder
-
Alice tended to the drunk Haru instead, since someone had to do it. She lead him over to his room, careful to not get to close. She knew he was part of the Chinese Zodiac now, and that if she hugged him he would turn into an animal.
After being laid in bed by Alice, Haru finally let go, tears streaming down his face as well. There was no way he could've cried in front of Reece. Here though, he cried until exhaustion and alcohol lulled him to sleep.
Alice shut the sliding door behind her, returning back to Momiji and Reece. "It seems a lot has happened today." She started off awkwardly. "Maybe we should sit down, have some tea and catch up." She moved closer to the two, putting a hand on Reece's shoulder. "If you don't want to, you can just go to bed too." She added quickly. "But you have to tell us eventually."
-
Reece sighed heavily and held both Alice and Momo's hands as she walked towards her room. she went in and settled in bed "I'll tell you and go to bed" She said softly and shuts her eyes with a sigh "Long or short version?"
Momiji settled in the chair next to the bed and sighed heavily, looking aorund the room. The wall's were plastered with Reece's artwork, dancing posters and band posters. Thankfully she didn't like beiber or 1D so they weren't in the room. Her bedcovers were white with blue and purple butterflies and her art and school work was scattered across the oak desk against one wall. Her clothes were thrown around the floor near her wardrobe. In her mind that was god enough. After he looked around, Momo looked at his sister "Up to you"
-
Alice settled awkwardly at the edge of the bed. "Whatever you prefer. Or can stay awake for." She added with a sweet smile.
Should we just skip both their explanations?
-
after the explaining~
Reece smiled slightly as her brother hugged her tight and kissed her head. "We'll talk to him in the morning" he murmured and took hold of Alice's hands "goodnight"
"Goodnight" Reece murmured, smiling a sad smile and pulling the covers over her head
-
After they were outside the room, Alice stopped suddenly. "Uh.. do you mind if I possibly, maybe... slept with you tonight?" The question felt so awkward, even though they had sleepovers all the time as children.
