RJ couldn't hold back a light scoff, but it was far from a humorous one. "I know how cold your skin is, it was colder than the snow in the middle of summer ..." He had done a little bit of research since then, and the only thing he found to explain what had become of Lara was something that scared him terribly. He didn't want to make any assumptions. No, he wanted to hear it from Lara. " ...But why?" |

Even underneath his warm coat RJ felt goosebumps arise over his arm as Lara's cold hand took hold of his wrist. She guided his fingers to the side of her neck, and almost instantly memories from that night in the forest flooded his mind. With his other hand RJ grabbed Lara's arm to pull it away but it was too late. He felt the bitter chill of her skin underneath his fingertips. He stood there silently with his mouth slightly agape and tears welling up in his eyes. Just as when he was checking for Dana's pulse in the forest, he waited for three seconds. One ... Two ... Three ... Nothing. Naturally it has scared him in the forest when he felt Dana without a pulse, but now for Lara it was the scariest thing he had ever felt ... And it was too much for him. "Get off!" He shrieked. He quickly shoved Lara's arm away and stumbled backwards, staring at her with tear filled eyes and a horrified expression, just waiting for her response which he assumed would be negative. |

"Things aren't always what they seem." Lara's words sunk in and helped RJ to calm down, but only a little. In his life everything always was what it seemed - chaos, and at last it was beginning to take its toll on the boy. He had been keeping everything locked up for so long. It had been years since he had opened up and expressed his feelings in any way, and it had been even longer since he had allowed himself to shed a single tear. But in the moment he pushed Lara's arm away, he knew he had hit his break down point and there was no avoiding it. Shamefully he walked over and sat down beside Lara. He looked down at the cold snow and took a deep breath. "Vampire or not, you're still my cousin and I love you. Nothing will ever change that." RJ paused to collect his thoughts. "Lara, I feel like my life is falling apart. I can't even begin to explain it, but I feel like I'm losing everything ..." RJ paused again and turned towards Lara, looking deep into her teary eyes. Suddenly, RJ grabbed onto Lara, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her tightly as if their lives depended on it. "But I can't lose you." He uttered quietly. |

RJ didn't even resist or fight back when Lara pulled away from him. It was done, he had already lost her and there was no point in trying to get her back ... Not now at least. He gave her one last look and shook his head, narrowing his eyes at her and with a small sigh he rose to his feet. There were so many things he wanted to say to her but couldn't. His only option was to leave her alone, so that's what he did. Without a single word he turned around and sadly, angrily, bitterly, and hopelessly stormed out of the garden, regretting ever walking past the apartment in the first place. |

RJ ran and ran and ran to the apartment where Lara lived. He knew that Kingsley Mercedes also lived there, as well as Cassandra Harper and John Reno, the three people he was trying to avoid the most, and so he wouldn't dare set foot inside. He stood outside, trying to think of a way to let Lara know that he was there without going inside. He could always throw pebbles at her bedroom window, but alas, she didn't have windows in her bedroom, so really he couldn't. No, he'd have to come up with something different. He stood there in thought, one hand on his hip, the other thoughtfully rubbing his chin and with one of his black Chuck Taylor's tapping on the sidewalk. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from the garden and looked in that direction. He remembered the previous winter when he had found Lara there, and the two had gotten into their little spat. Thankfully, that was over with. RJ shoved his hands into his pockets and slowly made his way over to the garden fence. He looked across the green grass, shrubs, and the flowers, and before long spotted his cousin up in the tree. "Lara!" He called out, already opening the gate and stepping into the garden. |

The boy excitedly ran over to his cousin and tightly wrapped his arms around her, before picking her up off of the ground and twirling her around once. RJ then set her down and took a step back - an ear-to-ear grin planted on his face. He couldn't wait to show her the gift he had brought for her, and he couldn't wait to see her reaction. "I come bearing a gift." He said, speaking as a butler would, and giving a short and playful bow. "But first you have to tell me, what do you plan on doing next summer? Anything exciting?" |

"Well, you're not very heavy." He replied, shaking his head. Though it was an awkward statement, it was just his way of denying that he thought he was strong, which he really didn't. when Lara continued to laugh, RJ couldn't help but laugh along with her. "And I don't think I'd survive what you could do." He was more than relieved to hear Lara say that she didn't have anything planned for the next summer. At that moment, it meant the world to him. He reached into his back pocket and took out one of the brand new passports he had recieved from his mother. He then held it up for Lara to see, leaning forward a little, and raising an eyebrow at her. "How'd you like to go to Paris with me?" |
