Rise and Shine.....Greenlee tag any

[Greenlee Reid]

Greenlee had been having fun. Rafe was beyond great. Although the sex was rather tiring, she was not about to complain. He liked her and that was all she needed. Greenlee was easy like that. She had such a need to be liked that she was willing to do anything. Now she was molding herself. Becoming what Rafe wanted her to become rather then being herself. To be honest Greenlee had no idea who she even was.

All Greenlee knew in life was how to be a chameleon and change her personality to fit whom ever she was with. It was what happened when your parents raised you to be a con artist...a grifter. Greenlee's specialty was becoming someone else. So she had no idea who the real Greenlee was. She became someone else to satisfy her friends. Her friend at the moment was Rafe. The guy who Greenlee believed was her perfect match.

He was handsome, sweet, and willing to take care of her. She went home and packed some clothes then officially moved into Rafe's home. He did offer. Yes some could say Greenlee was moving fast, but it was her way. It's what she did. Greenlee had such a need to be accepted and liked that if someone told her to move in, then that's what she would do. Rafe had convinced her that because she was unwanted at home, this was the only option for her.

Greenlee loved being able to use the Bentley. She got a big house and a hot car to use when Rafe let her, what more could a girl ask for. Greenlee was blinding herself to Rafe's true actions and motives because he said she was pretty and sent her flowers. Greenlee always had to get to school early to help in the office.

She helped there before school, during lunch and after school. It was a volunteer thing, and since everyone on the faculty loved her, she was able to do it. Greenlee had downloaded the student files, but still wondered what they were going to be used for. She knew she needed to forget about it, but Greenlee wanted to know, so she would keep asking, or snoop if she had too.

Greenlee stopped at her locker to exchange out her books. This day she wore a pair of khaki's, sandals and a white short sleeve shirt with a picture of a guitar and music signs all over it. She closed her locker and hurried toward the office. When she saw someone was blocker her way she timidly tapped the person on the shoulder, "Um could you please move I have to get by." The person had their back to her, so she could not even see who it was, and Greenlee never could tell anyone from their back...not even Rafe. So until the person turned around she would not know who she just tapped.

[Sebastian Flambert]

"Oh.." replied Sebastian softly, flinching at the unfamiliar touch. "I-I'm sorry about that."

Ever since leaving leaving St. Jude's Hospital, the young man had been reliant on the use of prescription medication to numb the overwhelming pain in his shattered torso, which had been skillfully wrapped to set his broken ribs back into place. While a welcome respite from nearly crippling pain, the painkillers had the unintended effect of dulling his reflexes, making him less likely to notice little things. Coupled with the odd emotions of abandonment and Fallon Cotton's latest mood swings, Sebastian Flambert barely noticed the girl behind him until her hand touched his back.

"I guess I'll move out of your way, then.."

Moving out of the way, the teen accidently nudged Greenlee in the process, causing him to drop the thick hardcover sketchbook in his hand onto the opaque tile floor. Dozens of well-made pencil and charcoal sketches spilled onto the floor, littering the gound with a myriad of different pictures. Portraits of children, animals, plants, and even each member of the Cotton family (including Sidra) were scattered about the entire hallway, a few still fluttering in the air when a visibly uncomfortable Sebastian stooped to the ground to recover his artwork.

"Oh.." mumbled Sebastian, flushing red in embarrassment, "S-Sorry.."

"I-I'm not r-really having a good week.."

[Greenlee Reid]

Greenlee immediatly recognized the kid. Not just from the bandages but he was the kid in the hospital. The one she and Rafe went to go see so she could drop off the black book to the woman who was with this kid. For the life of her she could not remember his name, but the fact Rafe had called him friend rang a bell in her head. Perhaps she could get information out of this kid. She gave him a kind smile, "Oh it is alright. I just have to get to the office." When he nudged her she kind of stumbled slightly and then saw the array of pictures on the floor, "Oh I am sorry, let me help."

Greenlee bent down to retrieve the drawing, "Did you make all these? They are lovely. Who are all of these people?" Greenlee saw various kids, some were happy, others in pain. Then she spotted one. It looked like Rafe but she was unsure. "Who is this man?" Greenlee asked wondering what information she could get from Sebastian. "On and who are these lovely ladies...you must care about them a lot, their pictures far surpass any of the others." One was of Clara and the other of Fallon. Greenlee handed back all the pictures.

"I am so sorry if these are prying questions. I am curious that's all, and I seem to have forgotten my manners. I am Greenlee. Pleasure to meet you." She offered Sebastian her hand. She needed to figure out how to handle this. If she came right out and asked him he might run and tell Rafe. So she had to be underhanded. Greenlee had to get the information with Sebastian volunterring it and her not asking. "I am sorry to hear you are not having a good week...care to talk about it...I have been told I am a good listener."
