A Vision of Beauty

"She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something." Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park Eden Chapman, twenty-five years old, and Beta from the Lux pack.

Uhm. I’m not really sure I’m the best person to answers this question. All I did at that age was read books. Oh and try not embarrass you at school.

[beta-chapman]

Oh, Ash. You naive little man.

And please, you could never embarrass me.

I hope Abraham wouldn’t h-have been the kid of b-boy to do… that…

[beta-chapman]

Who's Abraham?

[ashtonchap-deactivated20130922]

Did the twins catch colds? I didn’t realize that they were sick. 

[beta-chapman]

Really, Ash? Okay... Let's work this through together. What do sixteen year old boys in high school like to do when they're bored? On the internet. At night. With their doors locked.

Eden, I d-didn’t lie… He doesn’t deserve y-you, Eden. We’re sisters, remember? You rather have someone you just met over someone you’ve known for years?

[beta-chapman]

You don't get it do you? You lied to me. You made me question my friendship with someone I cared deeply about, Logan! Don't you understand that? I trusted you because I've known you for years. Do you really think Mark could have just replaced you? I love him just as much as I love you but right now... I trust him a lot more than I trust you. I think it's best if we stop talking for a few days... Or weeks. I just need to clear my head...

[ SMS; 1:13 PM ] Really? Cool. Then I can go even further around the country and you’ll still be there. This works out.

I don’t go to church anymore and have no desire to, so… I don’t know.

I’m sorry, Eden, but I can’t risk my “cute little butt” ending up on the web for some creepy old men to get off to. I’d never want to be famous if that’s how ‘fans’ are going to show their love for me.

[beta-chapman]

Mind explaining or would I be invading your privacy?

Well aren't you boring. I always thought you reminded me of one of my friends but Derek would gladly show his ass for anyone. 

[piercedlittlearia]

You did not actually find a bag full of used tissues on your car’s backseat. Oh my God, how many brothers do you have?

[beta-chapman]

No, no, I was kidding. That's why my face looks like the way it does.

Just three.

[ SMS; 1:06 PM ] Yeah. You’re right.  [ SMS; 1:09 PM ] [:

[beta-chapman]

[ SMS; 1:08 PM ] Of course I am. I'm always right ;) [ SMS; 1:11 PM ] I'll hunt you down Ashton Chapman.

[rippaperbackmark]

You’d be surprised by how many private schools are religious. Yeah, I did. Then.

Oh my God, you would not dare. I love you to death, Edes, but I’m not afraid to call the po-po on you. I’d like to be famous for my paintings, not my naked ass on the internet on some sketchy website somewhere.

[beta-chapman]

He's not your Lord and savior now...?

That's just rude, Mark! Sending your best friend to prison? Really?! And I don't know, you have cute little butt; why wouldn't you want to be famous for that?

Tell them to use a pillow. Derek said it’s much easier to clean up.

[beta-chapman]

You should ask Derek on what to do if you lied to your supposedly best friend just to try to ruin someone else's friendship. Do you think he knows anything about that?

[ SMS; 1:03 PM ] I’m not saying he isn’t however, I’m talking about with his sexual orientation. Not whatever else boys their age go through. [ SMS; 1:06 PM ] The latter.

[beta-chapman]

[ SMS; 1:05 PM ] Well, yeah. But you know how Max is. There's no way he'll stop loving Jayden just b/c he's gay. I mean, they're twins for God's sake. [ SMS; 1:07 PM ] You better be joking :))))))))

[c-hampton-deactivated20140910]

That’s d-disgusting.

[beta-chapman]

You have no idea, blondie. Imagine finding this little "surprise" every single weekend. It ain't fun, girl, nope.

[ashtonchap-deactivated20130922]

[ SMS; 12:59 PM ] We’ve talked about it before. He’s confused about a lot of things and he’s afraid of how Max will treat him. [ SMS; 1:03 PM ] I can’t promise that.

[beta-chapman]

[ SMS; 1:02 PM ] Hey, Max is pretty confused too, don't take Jayden's so quickly. We need to support BOTH of them, not just one. [ SMS; 1:04 PM ] Can't promise you'll travel or you can promise you'll come back......?????

[beta-chapman]

I swear to God... If I find bag full of used tissues on my car's backseat again, I'm going to kill my brothers. Idiots.
