Empty words (Noah/Fer)

[Mia Bell]

Mia nodded, she was thankful to both of them for helping her through this. She wasn’t sure how she would have gotten through this situation without them. Now, she also know she wasn’t alone, and she knew who to go to when she had any problems with anything. “You guys are great… Before this I didn’t feel like I had anyone to turn to, to talk to other than my Uncle. But now I know I have you guys.” She looked at each of them in turn, hoping they felt the same way. “And I know I want to be here for you both if you need anything.”

Mia blinked at Noah and then at Fer. Their words were so harsh; she shook her head. “No… I don’t believe that anyone is better than someone else… Maybe not right for someone. But it’s wrong to say someone isn’t good enough. We are all equals, we all have faults, we all do crap because of things we have went through and we all deserve a chance no matter what other people might think.” She looked at the ground, this is what she lived by. Because she knew firsthand how awful it was to be judge; whether it was because of your reputation or something you had done. It wasn’t right, and she wondered if either of them would say she was still ‘too good’ for Cameron if they knew about her bad habit. “But I know where you are getting at…” Had she really been wrong for giving someone a chance? She would want someone to give her a chance.


Mia chuckled when Noah said it was a good slap. She scratched the back of her head “That slap was mostly out of impulse…” She shook her head “Your right though… He probably won’t want anything to do with me for awhile. But I guess it’s a good thing.. Because I need to take time for myself.” She had gotten way too dependent on Cameron and everyone else for that matter. She needed to find her independence and security again.

Mimi? Oh she did not like that nickname, She even remembered telling Cameron she didn’t like it when they first met. Mia blinked at Fer and looked at him curiously. “You know you can get into a lot of trouble for carrying around alcohol?” Keeping it in his room, fine but carrying it around was just asking for trouble… Mia sighed heavily “I don’t do alcohol… I guess I have personal issues with it..”

Mia bit her bottom lip as she rubbed her temples; starting to feel the physical down side to her powers. She groaned, “I think I’m just going to go back to my room, take Advil and then take a nap..”

[Noah Washington]

"It's not about being better than anyone else, Mia. It's about right and wrong." Noah pointed out. Perhaps his words were being misinterpreted, but he was friends with both parties. However, the other things he knew about the situation were things he'd probably share with Mia another time. When she was more up to it. "Time for yourself is good. Probably the thing you both need, actually." Who knew, maybe that would help them come together as friends later on.

Noah looked curiously when Fer seemed to pull a bottle of Tequila out of no where. And then a bottle of Vodka. "Woah." He said quietly, but he should really know by now not to be so impressed with things that were clearly ability-related. Still he shrugged, hearing that Mia wasn't up for it. But he couldn't leave the guy hanging, so he motioned with a hand for him to pass something over.

"You sure?" He asked, but if she wanted to be on her own he wasn't going to force her to stay. "As long as you're okay."

[Fer Reyes]

No one's better than anyone? But I'm better than a lot of people! Definitely better-looking too. Fer thought as he heard Mia's words. He did not dare say them, though, not only it was not the moment, but he didn't like looking presumptuous or too self-conceited, because he generally wasn't, so he only shook the thought away.

"Me time is always good." He nodded and agreed with Mia's conclusion and Noah's follow-up comment that she needed some time apart from that Cam-drama.

Fer was quite surprised that Mia thought he was carrying them around. Then again, he hadn't mentioned his ability to her, so it did make sense that she thought wrongly, even if he thought that it was obvious that it was quite impossible that Fer was carrying that around in his shirt.

"Probably," He said. "but that's why I don't carry it around." Fer then placed the hand with the tequila bottle inside his shirt and dismissed it, taking the hand out again with nothing it and waving it both. "See? No bottle, no problem." He placed his hand inside his shirt again, replicated the same tequila bottle and took it out to show both the golden liquid. "Now yes bottle, and all problems solved." He laughed slightly for a moment before Mia said, in a sad way, that she doesn't do alcohol. "Oh..."

He was a bit disappointed, and even though the blonde reached to take one of the bottles, and Fer did give it to him, he didn't think it was quite right to drink in front of Mia if she didn't like it. She then mentioned, though, that she was leaving, and Fer thought that she was probably right and agreed with both.

"Sure, it's fine." Fer nodded. "Do tell us if you need anything." He smiled slightly. "I'll call you later to make sure you're still ok. I know you will be, anyway."

[Mia Bell]

Maybe Mia had misinterpreted his words, because truth be told she could hardly think straight anymore. There were too many things going on inside her head, so many past issues were resurfacing and she just didn’t know how to deal with them. Though, she didn’t say anything, she just blinked at the floor. “Sorry…” It took her a few moments to just say that. She didn’t know how to deal with all her emotions, it was something she always had a hard time dealing with. She nodded to Noah’s next statement; she needed to figure things out and trying to figure Cameron out while trying to figure herself out just wasn’t going to work. That would be a disaster waiting to happen, not that it wasn’t already one.

If Fer had said that, Mia would have chuckled. Because of course Fer was better than a lot of people. But she was referring to relationship wise, people always put others on pedestals, it just wasn’t something she did. She gave everyone a fair chance but maybe that’s why she was always the one to get burned in the end.

Mia just wasn’t thinking clearly, so it didn’t click that it was his power; though truth be told if she had thought it was power related she would have thought he could just summon alcohol. Her mind just wasn’t working right at the moment.

Blinking at Fer as he demonstrated his ability, something sort of clicked in her mind that it was his ability. “Oh… sorry.” She didn’t know what else to say. “Uh, never mind then..” She looked back at the floor, she was kind of glad that he didn’t ask about why she didn’t do alcohol; because that just wasn’t something she wanted to get into right now.

Mia looked at Noah when he motioned for the bottle of alcohol; it wasn’t her place to stop either of them from drinking. She was just hoping they would be careful; they were on school grounds, drinking. Maybe it was best for her to leave anyways; she just felt like she was becoming a downer for the two of them.

Mia nodded at Noah “I’m fine.” That was a lie, she wasn’t fine, she was far from it. She would most likely go into her room and cry for a couple hours; it was how she vented all of her emotions. Even when she was angry, she would just start crying. Which sucked more than it did before, thanks to her power. She nodded at Fer “I will.” She couldn’t help but wonder if that was also a lie; she had just gotten so used to having to stick things out by herself. She nodded once more to Fer “alright.” She hugged Fer and then hugged Noah “thanks guys.”

With a heavy sigh she stood up and made her way out of the aisle of seats. She turned to look at the stage with wishful eyes; something she always did before leaving the building. With her head down, she made her way to the doors and exited the auditorium. Leaving Fer and Noah to do whatever it was they wanted.

{ooc: Feel free to keep going if you want ^^;; }

[Noah Washington]

Noah was completely intrigued when the other guy was showing off his power. He took the bottle that was handed to him, wanting to see it for the sole purpose of just... Looking at it. It was real? Damn, that was one awesome power. It was real glass, real liquid. At that point, he was really jealous of such a useful power. Eventually he handed it back, trying his best not to look so totally jealous or in awe. He looked up again and frowned when she said she was fine. She obviously wasn't...

"Yeah, I'll message you later." Noah replied as he stood up and hugged her. He watched her leave, looking pretty upset. He supposed there weren't a lot of things that could be said to make her feel better. Only time would really do that.

When she was gone, Noah turned his attention to Fer. "We should do something," He said, "Hang out again, or whatever. To take her mind off things. Maybe bowling?" He shrugged, unsure if that was a good idea or not. But if they were really her support network, they should all get to be friends.

[Fer Reyes]

Fer knew Mia wasn't fine, it was good that she was saying. To make it happen, she had to believe it first, and a good way to do so is by saying it out loud as much as he could.

"Hmm?" It was a good start. He was about to leave as well, when Noah talked. "Oh..."

Fer sat with interest next to Noah. It had been some time since his gaydar failed. Noah definitely did not strike him as gay nor interested, but hey, he was definitely cute, so that instantly made him a good idea. Why didn't Mia told me she had gay friends?! Unfair.

"Sure, we could do something." He smiled slightly. "Oh, balling does sound awesome." He nodded, clearly confusing Noah's invitation with something else. "Right away is fine with me. My place or yours?"

[Noah Washington]

Noah raised both eyebrows instantly at the request. Surprise, if nothing else, was what read on his face.

"Dude, no." He said flatly. Nothing against the gays and all that, but he was not at all keen. He hoped his flat tone said it all. "I'm straight, and there were no innuendo's being thrown around there." He paused, raising a hand, "And no innuendo's about the word innuendo." Was it the first time he had been thrown in this situation? No, not really. But it was probably the first time someone had seemed so keen. He couldn't really help but laugh about it, rather than let it get super awkward.

He shrugged, deciding to try and think about what he said first. "For Mia. We should all hang out as a group. Hang out as in spend time together. Spend time together in a public arena or setting that doesn't involve sex. Sorry bro." He smirked. C'mon, it was a funny situation.

[Fer Reyes]

Crap! Fer facepalmed himself mentally as Noah turned him down. That's why you ALWAYS trust your gaydar, Fer. He smiled awkwardly at the blonde and stood up. Heck, it was worth the try.

"Yeah! Haha... Sure, yeah." He laughed awkwardly. "I mean, you're right, of course, for Mia." He nodded, feeling this was about a good time to go. "Ring me up anytime we can hang out." Having said the words, he realized he hadn't given Noah his cellphone, but noting that he really felt like running away as quickly as possible to avoid extra embarrassment, Fer decided to leave that job for someone else. "You can ask Mia my number, I'll tell her to give it to you." With courage, Fer took a step towards the blonde and offered his hand to shake. "Nice meeting you again and sex you la... I mean!!! See you later." Ugh! "Bye."

Not daring to look at the boy in the eyes, Fer only turned around and leave. That was about the sixth time this happened, and it just didn't get any easier. Good thing that by the next day, the embarrassment would have worn off, as long of course as Noah didn't decide to talk about this little event to some other people. Hopefully he wouldn't, he looked like a good guy.

[Noah Washington]

Noah sort of sat there as Fer scrambled to pick up the pieces of the rest of the meeting. He wasn't sure why, because the blonde boy wasn't really that awkward about what happened. In a way, it was kind of flattering? But that didn't really need to be voiced, because that was kind of obvious. Someone wants you, it's a nice gesture. "Yeah, I'll get it from her." He replied in reference to the phone number. He shook the guys hand, and watched him awkwardly bail on the situation.

He didn't laugh about it until he was sure Fer was gone; nice guy that he was. Noah retrieved his phone and tapped away as he grinned to himself. He had to tell someone, and he was sure Valerie would get a laugh out of it.
