your sister is clearly spirialing. what you going to do about it

You’re asking someone who has hardly been out of bed in 2 weeks...I’m probably just gonna stay in bed.

“Your what?” Her forehead creased, as if bothered by the statement, although Helena didn’t interrupt him, allowing him to finish what he was saying. “Do you…. need anything?” She suggested warily, unable to help in any other way. She had never experienced any grief, not really, leaving her unable to suggest anything other than what she could provide. “Private jet, or…?”

Adam shook his head. There was really nothing anyone could do for him. His brother was dead and unless someone had figured out how to bring people back from the dead he was shit out of luck. “You’re company tonight had been more than enough Helena. Thank you for making me leave my dorm room.” he gave her a soft smile, “Okay now its my turn to try one of this wheel things.”

Kenzie felt her heart sink at his words, knowing exactly how he was feeling right now. She just hugged her friend tightly, refusing to let go. “I’m so sorry Adam. I know how hard this is to deal with,” she said softly, still rubbing his back soothingly. “No one ever knows what to do when this happens. They try to tell you a bunch of stuff, but nothing seems right,” she admitted. “Do you want me to go to Florida with you and Riley? I’ll hide on the plane.”

Adam hugged her back putting his arms around her waist feeling her hands still rub her back. He rested his head on her shoulder. “While that would be nice I don’t think you can hide on an international flight.” he said trying to hold back his tears. “I just don’t know how to be as great of a person or brother that Robbie was. He did so much for me and Riles. I don’t know how to be as amazing as him”

Teddy had finally finished class and was so grateful. His brain felt like scrambled eggs at this point. He flopped himself down on one of the common room couches before looking up and seeing a very distressed looking boy sitting on the other couch, doing nothing seemingly. “You good buddy?” He leaned in and whispered, trying not to startle the other. He shook his head. “No need to be sorry… anything you wanna, ah talk about?” He asked, face concerned.

Adam was still in awe from the week prior. Going back to Florida was one of the worse experience he had in a while and he had the bruises to prove it. Seeing Robbie in a casket just didn’t feel real in the slightest. He looked at Teddy still not feeling like he was really there, “Life is just so unfair man. Once second you are on top of the world, fighting for your country, about to be home any day.” he said shaking his head back and fourth, “and then you are in a casket and your family has to say goodbye to you way before they are ready. It’s just so unfair.”

maverickbowie​:

Maverick practically lived in the music wing of the school. His love and passion for playing and preforming was one of the few things that kept him sane these days. Even when he wasn’t in one of the practice rooms working out some new song, he was back in his room probably doing the same thing only while possibly making his roommate go deaf with how loud he played. He was on his way to the one practice room that had a full drum kit when he heard someone call his name. “What’s up, Adam.” He offered a half smile, slowing so the older could catch up with him. “I didn’t know you played.”

Adam was happy to finally be home from Florida. The whole experience as awful. He had gotten into a huge fight with his dad over Robbie’s flag and how his dad didn’t deserve it. It resulted in Adam being sent back to France in bruises galore. “I play the trombone. Robbie got me into it.” he said as his face turned from somewhat happy to sad thinking about it. He shook it off rather quickly, “It seemed like a cool instrument.”

helenaspencer​:

“I wouldn’t hurt myself,” she denied, although she stumbled a little as she walked back to him, laughing out loud as she did so. “See, you doubted me. Imagine,” Helena made a face, as if offended. “Anyway, why’re you so quiet?” 

“Well now I know to never doubt you again.” she said as she came over. He shook his head and blurted out, “Oh my brother died.” The alcohol running through his system had kept him from having a filter, “Now I have to go home for the funeral and see my douche of a father and bury the only man I ever looked up to in my life.” he said looking down at his feet.

rileyxsteele​:

If Adam was bad at one thing, it was delivering bad news. The words ran through her head. “Dead.” She repeated. She didn’t really cry, she was broken inside to react. “So we are going home.”

Adam nodded still feeling pretty numb by the whole situation, “Um yea. We are going to fly home Friday for a week. Unfortunately we are going to have to be home with dad.” he said hating the words as they came out of his mouth. Adam felt himself starting to break down as he suddenly sat on the floor, “Um I can pack some things for you if you want.”

When he walked in the common room, he saw the other on the couch, he was clearly not okay, and he considered just walking away and letting him have his alone time, as some people preferred to be alone when they were going through something tough, but he realized that he was there before he could do what he had planned, It’s fine, you didn’t really do anything wrong,” he assured him, “You seem distant, a penny for your thought?” he figured asking wouldn’t harm, he could just say he didn’t want to talk if that was the case.

Adam shook his head, “Um i just got some pretty blindsiding bad news from back home.” he said with the vision in his head of his brother in his dress blues lying in the same casket that had been picked out for his mother when she passed, “My brother was in the army. I just got the call that he died in the line of duty. I am just still trying to swallow the news.”

“Don’t be. You have nothing you need to apologize for.” Ches reminds him immediately, sitting down next to him as she tries to bury down her concern. Was it crossing a line to ask him what was wrong? She never could tell at this point. All she knew was something was clearly wrong, and even if he didn’t want to talk, it didn’t hurt for him to have someone in the area to beat Jack away if he tried to mess with Adam when something was obviously wrong.  “Do you wanna talk about it, A?”

Adam was relieved that it had been Ches to be standing there and not some random person he didn’t know. Being obviously vulnerable was something that Adam had avoided his whole life. “Uh well...have you talked to Riley?” he asked knowing that she obviously hadn’t, “Robbie...was shot in the line of duty. He didn’t make it.” he said softly

averybeaumontpeters​:

Avery tried to stay clear of both Riley and her brother– it wasn’t that she was afraid of them or anything, she just figured all of their lives would be easier if she just avoided them entirely. But she wasn’t heartless- contrary to what Riley probably believed and shared to her brother, so when she saw Adam clearly upset, it gave her pause. For a moment, she debated just walking past him and continuing acting like both siblings were invisible to her- but she clearly didn’t think fast enough since her prescience was known before she could make a decision. “It’s…—fine, no problem.” she said, still not quite sure of what her approach should be. “You- good? You look worse than Sky does after he listens to To Be Human by Marina.”

Adam had just recently put the name to the face that was Avery. He knew about what had happened with the locket but at the same time she was pretty cool when they smashed a car together a week ago, “Um no I am not good.” he managed to get out looking up at her, “First my mom dies and well now my brother is dead too.” he said nonchalantly. “I have to go to Florida to see him and I don’t know if I can handle seeing another family member in a casket. I thought that was gonna be the case with Riley last year and I just didn’t see this coming.”

[adamxsteele]

reellykenzie​:

At first, Kenzie had been happy to see Adam. But taking in his appearance and how he just appeared so… lost, she began to worry about what was the matter. When he noticed her there, she sat down next to him and put her hand on his back. “What’s the matter? You know you can talk to me,” she asked, worry clear in her eyes as she looked at her friend.

Adam took a deep breathe. Something was calming about having Kenzie rub his back. It was something his mother would have done if she was around. The two people he needed most in his life and they were both gone. “Um. Robbie.” he said trying to get the words out, “I need to go back to Florida for his funeral.” he said not being able to get the words dead out of his mouth again. “I don’t know what to do Kenzie.”

by the time lennon realized someone else was in the room it was too late to turn out of it without making the situation between the two of them into an awkward one. she froze, seeing the boy bent over — hopefully she wasn’t intruding. “i’m sorry — i’m not interrupting am i? i can go…”

Adam shook his head, “no no it’s okay. My fault for being in the common room.” he said standing up and pushing his dark hair back. “I...just got some really bad news and I have to go home for a while and I just don’t want to believe it real.” he said trying not to give too much information to a girl he barely know, “Sorry. Didn’t mean to bring down the mood.”

[adamxsteele]

Adam was sitting in the common room on the couch. He was bent over with his arms on his lap and his head hanging between his legs. He felt defeated. Like someone had just take a wrecking ball through his chest. His brother who was more of a father to him was gone. Taken from his world without even an ounce of warning. Robbie was so close to coming home, and now he was coming home in a casket. Adam looked up to see he wasn’t alone. He shook his head, “Oh, uh...I’m sorry.” @luxorstarters​

tinysutton​:

Sutton was doing their best to get their swim times back up. The depression that had been eating away at them had really impacted their times. It never bothered them when someone else swam beside them or even shared a lane with them. They had been swimming competitively since they were three years old. By this age, they weren’t even aware of the people anymore. It was just them, the water, and the clock. After a while they let themself rest, a hand resting on the edge of the pool. The guy in the lane next to them looked familiar but they couldn’t place a name or even why they knew him. “After a year or so.” They shrugged, not remembering a time when they aren’t in the pool.

Adam nodded biting his lip, “Wow a year. I am super glad that swimming isn’t my sport of choice.” he said with a smile, “You swim beautifully though. I am just more of the boxing type.” he shrugged and reached his hand out, “I am Adam Steele by the way.”

rileyxsteele​:

Riley smiled softly. “Good morning to you, my dearest brother.” She replied. “Bad news? with our lives how bad could it be.” She said, maybe it was slight denial. But really how much worse could things get. She was already in a terrible accident.

Adam shook his head, “Well kind of the worst most possible thing” he said pretty bluntly not appreciating her sarcasm at this particular time. Not that it was really her fault, “Riley, it’s Robbie.” he said as he felt his heart beat start to accelerate. “He...he was shot and uh he did’t make it.” he finally got out, “Uh... Robbies dead.”

@adamxsteele​

“Are you doubting me?” Helena’s expression almost instantly became sulky as she heard the words come out of Adam’s mouth, although it went back to her giggling just as quickly as she had stopped. She was far too drunk, really - they were walking back to campus after both attending another student’s birthday party, where there had been an open bar and, well…. she definitely took advantage. Running across the grass, she kicked her shoes off, before performing a perfect cartwheel, standing upright to give him a smug smile. “See, I said I could do it.”

Adam had a really long day. Finding out Robbie had died and that he had to go home for a bit was unsettling. When Helena asked if he wanted to go out he thought it might help. He was happy to be out with her as she did make the things that were bothering him a little less. “I never said i doubted you just that i hope you wouldn’t hurt yourself.” he gave off a slight laugh watching her do the cartwheel, “Alright that was actually a lot better then I thought it was going to be.”

rileyxsteele​:

It was still pretty early on tuesday morning when Riley heard the knock on her door. She had woken up but was just laying in her bed. Her mistakes from halloween lived in her mind rent free. She really must have hurt Isaac. he girl rolloed out of then and opened the door. “Come in.” She said not bothering to ask who it was. She walked over to the couch and sat down. “Don’t you know how early it is?”

Adam walked inn behind Riley seeing she was already in a bad mood this morning. Adam looked around still trying to find the words. “Um...Riles.” he managed to get out while tears streamed down his face., “I uh..I got some pretty bad news that I have to tell you,”
