This is a place where Sakura and Shana can go to talk and get out their feelings about some tragic events that took place over the summer. This place can also be used by other people that knew either Jack or John Moiser and wish to recall memories or just to hang out with each other and help each other to move on from the events that took place. This is a shared space and the people may come and go as they please.

The apartment however belongs to Reid Hemingway and any people that enter must have his permission to do so. He lives here full time when not at school. Any of Reid's friends can come here to visit him during the summer, with everyone being welcome.



Charries:

Reid Hemingway: Esme
Sakura Takenouchi: Esme
Shana Miller: ChloeCloverr
and others that may be less frequent but welcome nonetheless.

Okay.

This was offically messed up.Shana Miller was mourning ? I mean I know it sounds incredible sad but Shana Miller did not mourn for anyone.She only mourned for her parents for like a week and that wasn't until a year after they'd died.Buut she was here.Not for Moiser,Not for John,For her friend,Sakura.She sighed and closed her eyes and knocked the door quietly.

Sakura had been sitting on the lounge in the downstairs entertainment area watching one of Reid's movies when she heard a knocking on the door. Through either a hectic design or some kind of magic the knock echoed through the whole penthouse suite. Sighing Sakura pushed herself up and walked dejectedly to the door. She didn't know who it could be as this was Reid's apartment and it could be any one of a million people coming to see him. She was just lucky enough to be crashing here for a few months.

Reaching the door Sakura opened it and said automatically, "If your looking for Reid he's not here, no I don't know when he'll be back and no you cannot wait here to see him." The answer was practiced by now and so she was considerably shocked to see Shana standing at the door. "Shana." she gasped out, for once letting her shock show. "Come in," she said while ushering the girl inside and closing the door.

Shana gulped.Nice to see you too.She smiled as she stepped inside the house.Wow! The only word she could acctually get out of her mouth.Bliink.She gazed around the house.Wow! she stated again.She stood there,eyes fixed on the stairs,not moving a muscle.She didn't move again for at-least 5 minutes then suddenly she started to feel faint and woozy.Bleh.

Gulp.

Sakura looked at Shana in slight amusement. It was obvious she was taken aback by the apartment. Even Sakura had been the first time she saw Reid's place and she'd grown up living in luxury all her life. "Earth to Shana." she joked before saying. "Come on I'll take you to the entertainment room, we can talk privately there no matter who comes in." she told her before she began walking, checking to make sure Shana was following.

Shana eyes fluttered about like mad then suddenly.BANG.Ouch.Headach.Shana fell smack bang on the floor with a big thud.Her eyes lay rested on the ceiling.Okay.Note to self never stair at flashy things for long.It eqauls in falling backwards.She pushed herself up and followed Sakura.Entertainment room ? Reid has his own- Stupid.Corse he did else she wouldn't be taking her to the entertainment room in Reid's house.

"Of course he does. He earns more money than Ruby and I have combined." Sakura said nonchalantly while gesturing for her to take a seat on the lounge. "Oh and if you touch something please be careful. A lot of these things are really old." and expensive was left off but she knew Shana would get what she didn't say. "Can I do anything or get anything for you?" she asked while playing with her bracelet.

Shana smiled and took a seat on the lounge.Umm no thanks.Maaaan,Reid was riiich.He has his own House,With a entertainment room.Zomd! Oh Wow! she said re-fixing her eyes on some sort of entertainment.She blinked.Shana dont fix your eyes on anything, she told herself.This was soo un-believeable,Shana barely had her own bedroom back home,thank goodness Charlie was sharing Jo's room.She shook her head and smiled.

"Is everything ok?" Sakura asked just as the movie came back on again and Reid started talking, her eyes turned back to the screen in an almost hypnotic way and she watched as his character fell from the top of a cliff. The sound of the actual door opening had her jumping slightly before she realised that it was probably just the cleaning lady. "So um why did you come here? If you were looking for Reid he should be home soon."Sakura was slightly unsure how to act around Shana, how to act around anyone at the moment.

Shana shrugged.Umm I think Yeah.Why ? she said looked worriedly at Sakura.I came to see you (?) Umm Liike cause I havnt seen you all year and stuff.Your kinda the only one that understands.Apart from Ruby,But she scares me.She thought to herself she daren't say that to Sakura incase she took it offensively.

"I was just wondering. Like you said we haven't seen each other in a year." she said with a happy smile. It seemed like Shana was kind of upset, although Sakura couldn't understand why. Nevertheless she would try to be here for the girl. "Understand what?" she asked curiously, frowning slightly in concentration. What was she supposed to understand that no-one else could?

Shana nodded and sighed.She didn't know if like other people understood cause like people in their families died,But Sakura knew,Sakura was closer to Jack than Shana had ever been and like now he was gone,Shana missed him and she just couldn't imagine how much Sakura missed him.I dunno.she shrugged.About Liike...Jack and John. she looked down at her feet for about 5 minutes and didn't look back at Sakura.

Sakura's eyes darkened at the mention of Jack. They looked as though they were haunted by something. "Oh right them." she said, her voice slightly wobbly. "Do you want to talk about them? You could have spoken to Ruby. I know she looks scary but she isn't really." she said with a dark smile.

Shana looked down.I dunno,Do you ? She shrugged.I havnt been talking to many people,Since like all this happend.Then Lima left and me and Reese sorta fell out. she shrugged and smiled.

"Sometimes I do. Sometimes I just wish I could forget him. I wake up cursing him occasionally. I was never vulnerable before I met him. Well at points I was but I relied on myself. He made me think I could rely on him and then he died. Suddenly I had no-one to depend on." Sakura racked her fingers through her hair. "I dunno, sometimes talking is cathartic, other times it just makes me want to scream. It wasn't fair that he died and I hate him for it. But then I feel guilty." Truth be told she didn't know what she felt. "I'm sorry. How did that happen?" she asked in reference to the falling out between Shana and Reese.

Shana Sighed.She didn't know what to say,she coooould say that Sakura shouldn't hate him,because it wasn't his fault he died but then she might take that offensivly so she just didnt say anything.She smiled and carried on listening to Sakura venting.Umm...Weell Im not excatly sure,We havn't been the same as we used to since she found out I kiiinda Like her step-brother.Annd she was trying to get me to tell her and she told me she'd tell me about her and Cam,then she was all shocked and didn't tell me.Soo I kinda sorta bugged her a bit and she got Reaaal angry,But its all goodn now,we had a sort of heart to heart and we're mates again.At least I think we are. she said finally gasping for air,Maaan that was a mouthful.

"You can say that I shouldn't hate him you know. And I don't really, there are just days. Grief does strange things." Most of those days were when she was off her medication, but she wasn't going to tell Shana that. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted a Boa Constrictor making it's way along the back of the place where Shana was sitting. "Shana your not scared of snakes are you?" she asked, voice calm and showing no signs that there was a need for any kind of worry. "Oh I'm sorry to hear that but at least you two have made up now."

You shouldn't hate him. she nodded and smirked to herself.She wouldn't of said that unless Sakura had said she could say it,she just decided to And it made her giggle.She then noticed something pink and then she trailed off,She began to think about Jake.Ahhhh.She couldn't go on living if everytime she saw pink she started daydreaming about Jake.

"Earth to Shana," Sakura called out, waving her hand in front of the girls face. It looked as if she was daydreaming about something or somebody again. Looking around she wandered what could have set the girl off but saw nothing that would even remotely make her daydream about somethiing or someone. Then again she wasn't Shana so something in here may make her go all dreamy. Of course it could always be that she was overwhelmed by the apartment...again.

Shana blinked.Oh sorry I Was just daydreaming about...It doesnt matter. about Jake.She decided to leave out the bit about her daydreaming about Jake.She didn't excatly think it was a great time to bring up Jake's name as like they were mourning for someone that hated him.So his name was best left out of this conversation.

Reid walked into his penthouse and looked around tiredly. It seemed as if everything was in the right places but something was missing. Something he couldn't put his finger on. Sighing he walked past the stairs and the entertainment area into the kitchen, hoping that there was some microwaveable food in the freezer so he wouldn't have to be bothered cooking.

Today had been exhausting with him getting up in the wee hours of the morning to go to the gym, being at Hogwarts had nearly destroyed his figure, well not really but he just felt bad when he didn't exercise. After that he'd had some intense wire training for the fight scene that was going to be in the movie which started shooting in a few days.

Giving up on the food he dragged himself up the stairs and into his bedroom, intent on getting a good night's sleep. Not even noticing the absence of Sakura, who had been staying with him for the holidays.
