know thyself;

Cecily. You really don't need to know the rest.

[jasonkleft]

Jason rubbed his thumb over her cheek as if it would wiped off the frown out of her face. “Crazy parents,” he said. “It’s the holidays, they usually tend to get sentimental shits or something. Or maybe something happened that’s why she wanted you down there. She looked at the canvasses then back to her. “Max? She’s back or?” When he remembered his own gift to her, he smiled a little bit. “Yeah, your gift is waiting in your room. Happy holidays.” He leaned down a bit, gbrushing his nose on her hair and hislips on her ear. “I love you.”

[cecilycoplin1]

She turned her head to her side and captured his lips, "'Love you too." She then smiled and the turned her head to his hand and kissed him there. "Let's get going, so you could open your gift." She then started walking towards the Discerning house. "We should all just get golf cars here, so travelling will be faster."

[maxharveyy]

Max continued sobbing on her shoulder. “I’m sorry.I hate me too.” She let it all pour, letting all the tears she held back for a couple of months. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have left.” She kept muttering in her hoarse voice.

[cecilycoplin1]

"Shh..." She whispered soothingly, her saccharine voice filling the space around the both of them. "It's okay now, love, you're alive and safe that's all I've asked for." she wiped her own tears away from her face.

[janeholt]

"Cece…" Jane looked at her friend up and down before frowning at her diminishing glow. "You need a hotoil treatment. And MAC blush. What’s up?"

[cecilycoplin1]

She smiled at what Jane said. "You don't have to remind me of how shitty I look."

[jasonkleft]

Jason eyed herwith curiosity. “Why were you not okay, earlier?” He didn’t really wait for an answer and just cupped her face and gave him a quick yet sweet kiss. “Merry Christmas.” He took the stuff she was carrying from her and into his arm and wrapped his other arm around her shoulder. “So, where are we taking these?”

[cecilycoplin1]

There was a frown on her face as she remembered why she was actually upset, she smiled a bit when he kissed her but the frown came back the moment he pulled out. "So, I've spent hours putting my last touch to these..." she gestured her hand around the canvasses. "...And then my mum called me and begged of me to go visit her, which I was so upset about, since when I actually told her that I'm done with her bullocks she's came back to me like this." she took a hold of his hand that was hanging near her shoulder. She then looked up at him. "She's stressing me out." After that Cece cleared her throat. "But that doesn't matter right now." she paused. "Oh we're taking two of those to Jane and Felicia, since I'll give Max's later...I'm gonna stuff her skinny body up with food. Oh and yours is there." she smiled a bit and kissed him on the cheek because she just felt like it.

[jasonkleft]

Seeing Cecily reminded Jason what a crappy boyfriend he was. He couldn’t even put a real smile on her face. He rubbed a thumb on the corner of her lips and smiled to her a bit. “You okay?”

[cecilycoplin1]

When she noticed it's actually Jason, she startled and then her smile grew naturally, and her face just seemed to light up. "I am now." she moved closer to him. "Merry Christmas."

[maxharveyy]

Max noticed how Cecily got thinner and she was just hoping that she had nothing to do with. She was hoping that her friend didn’t care if she had been gone. Looking at her expression had her hopes sent crushed on the ground. Sure, a lot of things might had been going on with Cecily that could have caused her so much stressed but she couldn’t help but feel guilty because she was not there to support her. So, she ended up staring at the ground and bawled her eyes out.

[cecilycoplin1]

When she finally managed to move, she stood up and walked closer to Max. She was basically trying not to cry. "You're crazy, you know that, I've hated what you've done." She blinked and then finally a tear escaped and then she grabbed Max into a tight hug.

[cecilycoplin1]

There were three canvasses that were resting on her arm, it's wrapped in a gift wrapper, and it's pressed on her chest as she walked along the hallway. She yawns and brushes the stray strand of hair away from her eyes and when she looks up she stops walking. "Oh." she then tries to smile at the person in front of her.

[maxharveyy]

Maxine spent two hours in the headmaster’s office and an hour in Smithson’s office, making sure that she wouldn’t do the stunt she had pulled again and of course, to make sure her wellness of her being. After spending time in Underworld really did wonders to her mood. All she wanted to do was to curl in her bed. As she made her exit out of the Main Building, she stopped on her tracks as she found on her friends standing on her way. Max didn’t know what to say but she could feel the tears coming. They probably did not recognize her; her hair was cut short just right under her chin, still have fading blackeye and her bones were more prominent. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out.

[cecilycoplin1]

She's heard Max came back and with her friends she rushed to the Guidance Counselor's Office, the wait was getting too long so they excused themselves to get coffee or something so she's left behind there. Her lips were pressed into a thin line and when she heard the door open, she looked up. She took in Max's current image, she's too shocked to actually react, her blank expression stays but her eyes got teary. Nowadays she's been feeling deep strong emotions and she's still not used to it, so she just stared at Max, her heart swelling for care and love for her friend.

[jasonkleft]

"I would but I can." He answered mindlessly then a smirk formed on his lips when she asked. "A lot of people."

[cecilycoplin1]

Her brows raised a bit. "Who?" She then blinked and realized she probably sounded like a jealous girlfriend, so she pressed her lips with each other.

[jasonkleft]

Jason always forgot that with Cecily, he didn’t try have to try hard. All he could do was chuckle to himself. “If you want burgers and fries then we’ll get that if you want. I just thought to get our food there since it is along the way of where we are going. We are taking out anyway.” Jason said without looking up to her as he was busy pressuring people using text messages. “It doesn’t matter what food we are getting. Oh, can we make a quick stop at Charton-Hobbs?” He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt to give her a kiss on her temple then fastened himself on the passenger seat, all in one swift motion. “Don’t worry, I’ll drive on our way back…and for the rest of time in our relationship if you want.” He gave her his usual flirty smirked befor ehe went back to texting.

[cecilycoplin1]

She wasn't following the directions in the GPS anymore. "Are we gonna steal liquor?" she looked at him and then glanced on his phone before she flicked her gaze back to the road. "Who are you texting?" 

[jasonkleft]

"If you call French and Spanish cuisine death then yes. I’m sorry, babe, we’re going to face death in Le Graffiti." He said referring to that popular restaurant he and their other friends sometimes went to with a laugh, glancing at her briefly before going back to the phone. "What do you like to get there?"

[cecilycoplin1]

She scrunched up her nose. "Oh really?" She loved the place but it was so expensive, not that she actually works for the money she got, but still it was. She did not mind going there now, she looked at Jason for a second then back at the road again. "I don't know I was craving for pizza or burger and fries. Not those food in Le Graffiti." she said with those stupid French accent. She sighed and just drove, her lips pressed together. "You just go pick my food,"

[jasonkleft]

He just chuckled as she whined and the he proceed to type something on his phone. “Hey!” She called out when Cecily brought the car forward. “Cool it, Tokyo Drifter,” he continued as he slipped in the car. “So, we have to head for like 7 miles up the North to get your grub, is that alright or is that alright?” He grinned and then he entered the address on GPS.

[cecilycoplin1]

She tried to get used to Jason's truck. She was definitely not used to the height of it, she had to adjust the chair's distance to the steering wheel, when she felt comfortable in her place, she looked at her boyfriend then glanced down at the GPS. "You're not actually leading me to my death, are you?" she asked him playfully. Before she started to drive to the Academy's main gate. And then she turned right to go North, once they got out of the creepy ass woods that covered the campus from nosy humans. 

[jasonkleft]

"Yeah but I need you to drive." He said vaguely with a smirk on his lips. As they get near his car, Jason unlock the car and it made a squeakish beep sound. Opening the door for her, he opened the driver’s seat and gestured for her to come in. "After you, m’lady." He spoke with slightly exaggerated formality while he gave her his car keys. "Up to North."

[cecilycoplin1]

She took the car keys from him. "Ugh. I kinda don't wanna drive, but fine, asshole." she whined and then pushed him on the shoulders, not that hard though, and then she got in and started it up. She smirked a bit and put it on the first gear and stepped the accelerator to make it seem like she was going to leave him, and then she stopped. She opened the window from the other side. "C'mon, slowpoke, I'm craving for some grub."

[jasonkleft]

"Yes, surprise." He confirmed. Jason had not really prepare anything but he thought of something. "Would you like to drive my car?" Jason asked as they made their way out of the building.

[cecilycoplin1]

She walked to the parking lot alongside of him, "Wait what? I thought you were going to surprise me, I don't know where we're going."

[slyther-in]

[jasonkleft]

When she took off her shirt, Jason suddenly had an urge to make them curl up in the bed and just cuddle but he had better plans. He shrugged on the hoodie he left in her room a few days ago before he took a a scarf he thought would look cute with her sweater. “How about I surprise you, eh?” He said, wiggling his eyebrows as he wrapped the scarf aroud his neck.

[cecilycoplin1]

"Surprise?" she squinted her eyes at him playfully and then smiled. "All right." she then took his hand and interlaced their fingers together. "Lead the way, mister."
