Eight car - Christmas Day [Action/Written]

[teenagebadboy]

[Aaron woke up early in the morning. He knew what day it was, it was Christmas day. But it also reminded him how far away from his family he was. Normally he would be opening his gifts now but he reckoned that it won’t happen. He knew barely anybody here and none of them cared enough to give him any gifts. It put a downer on his mood but as always he pushed that down into him.
After he had got ready for the new day he made his way down stairs. After some time he found himself by the Christmas tree. He paused there and looked at it. He then took out his journal.]

The holiday season sure makes you realize what you have lost by getting here. [He wrote.]

[ The castle gave her something but that doesn't really count, does it? Effy thinks this is still better than the holiday drama. Though Tony, now her brother always gives her the best gifts. She might as well be speaking to herself when she speaks to him: ]

Family? Don't be a sap.

[teenagebadboy]

Uh no. I don't care about my screwed up family. What I was talking about is the lack of presents. [Aaron responded. He didn't like to be called a sap so he would just pretend that she was wrong. Sure he was missing his mum and Paddy and he could be a right sap at times. But that was something he rather keep hidden.]

[dgaf]

Sap.

[ And she's just a brat. ]

Get yourself one then.

[teenagebadboy]

Whatever.

[if she could see aaron now she would be on the reciving end of a glare.]

It's not the same innit. A present is something you get for free. If I get myself a present I could just have bought it.

[dgaf]

What's the difference when the castle gives you everything for free? Sentiment?

[teenagebadboy]

'Cos the castle aren't giving you stuff for free. It takes it price one day.

[dgaf]

How do you know that?

[teenagebadboy]

People have told me about it.

[dgaf]

And you believe them?

[teenagebadboy]

Not completely. But it does seems like something the castle would do. This place is wicked after all.

[dgaf]

And they also told you that.

[teenagebadboy]

No, that's my own opinion. This castle took us to Florence where people got killed. It forced us to kiss strangers and then mind controlled us to do its own biding. If you think this place isn't wicked then you're naive and not worth my time.

[dgaf]

And if you think the castle is the only one who'd make you do what it wants then you're just as naive. It's everyone.

[teenagebadboy]

Nobody tells me what to do. I control my own life and I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks.

[dgaf]

The castle would beg to differ.

[teenagebadboy]

Are you thick or are you just pretending? People can't tell me what to do, mind controling castle can. It's flamin' different!

[dgaf]

How?

Castle controls your mind to make you fuck someone up, castle tells you to fuck them up. They're still fucked, yeah?

[teenagebadboy]

Still the castle's fault. I won't let anyone tell me what to do because they want me to do it. If they're forced by the castle then it's not their fault innit. But I still won't let them screw me over but I won't be mad at them for something they can do nowt about.

[dgaf]

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if it was the castle driving you insane and making you first your best mates. It was still your hand holding the knife.

[teenagebadboy]

So what? There's no point in beating yourself up for something you could do nowt about. 'sides doesn't the castle bring people back to life?

[And this is coming from someone who beat himself up for months for helping his lover kill himself. Even harming himself.]

[dgaf]

Yeah. Alright. You could kill me now and it wouldn't matter.

[teenagebadboy]

The difference is that I don't want to.

[dgaf]

Why not? Don't you wish I would shut up?

[teenagebadboy]

I can just ignore you.

[dgaf]

Do that then.

[teenagebadboy]

[Closes the journal.]
