Sitting on his windowsill, a small smirk rested on the skater's lips as he noticed that it was getting dark outside. Glancing down at his watch, he nodded to himself and pushed off of the window, leaving his fingerprints behind on the glass as he moved over to his bed to lean back against it as he slipped on his checkered vans. Pulling on a white shirt over his head and reaching for his dark blue coat, he slipped his arms through the sleeves and then slammed his foot down on the nose end of the board, kicking it up into the air and into his arms. He reached over for his sketchbook and slipped it into his bookbag, keeping his promise with Jayson not to bring a camera along, before he headed downstairs.

No one was home, as his foster parents had gone out to the movies. He had been invited, but he knew that a fight would break out in the movie theatre at some point, so he'd decided to pass on making a scene.

As he moved passed the kitchen, he noticed a yellow paper taped on the fridge, probably reminding him of the leftovers and how much time to give it to heat it up. Yeah, right. He didn't even think a dog would be able to swallow that stuff, ugh. He actually used the front door this time, but only because he was carrying his sketchbook and he didn't want it to get messed up, even if it was safely tucked away in his bookbag on his back. He let the board slam down against the sidewalk when he reached it, pushing off with one of his feet and then keeping his balance as he drifted down the street. Skateboarding was an amazing feeling. It was hard to describe, really. It was almost like gliding, or flying down real low, like down by the clouds.

He flipped his hair out of his face when he got to the end of the street, knowing that it would be best to walk the rest of the way, since there could be some puddles and cause a nasty fall on his part. His bright blue eyes opened up a bit more to take in his surroundings, noticing how empty it looked now that it was getting dark outside. What were people afraid of, anyway? Vampires and werewolves and creepy things? He chuckled at himself, setting his skateboard down beside him and resting his foot on it to keep it from moving as he leaned forward against the railing, looking out into the water. He noticed how dark the water looked, almost as if it didn't have a bottom, and he often wondered how much your eyes could deceive you. He reached down and pulled out his cellphone, texting Jayson to let him know that he was there, and after a quick look around and not spotting him yet, he sighed and looked back out into the water.

Donovan had been thinking about running away, mostly because he'd heard rumors about Angel going out with another guy. He couldn't blame her, he'd never made his move, and maybe now it was too late. She seemed happy, though he didn't see her much anymore. Whoever the guy was probably felt protective over her. He scoffed at the thought, flipping his hair out of his eyes again as he rested his elbows against the rail and then his face on his hands. Love was a complicated thing. Sometimes you just needed a friend to hang around with and make you feel better when everything else was looking down. He hoped that Jayson would show up, otherwise he'd probably just skip town after sunset. What was the use in goodbyes when no one really seemed to notice when you were gone?

"JAYSON CAIN CLASP
GET YOUR BUTT UP NOW".

Jayson rolled over to one of his bed trying to pull the pillow of his jet black hair. Hopefully his ears would have been muffed enough not to hear a word his mother was saying. "Wait mommy. five more minutes, im almost going to find the pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow". He said falling in and out of sleep as her own words sounded like he was still in his own dream. "NOW
JAYSON YOU HAVE BEEN SLEEPING ALL DAY", as mommy clasp walked up to his bed pulling off his little space ship covers. Yeah he still slept with them so what, dont act like you didnt have a favorite pair of sheets on your bed. "NO CAIN THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STAY UP ALL NIGHT TRYING TO FIND HIDDEN TREASURE WITH ADIEN". Oh no she had said one word his middle Cain yeah everyone new that one rule. Parents say the middle name you knew they meant business or they were already in a bad mood. "Mother you know we were so close to finding that treasure i swear it was some where around the house". He told her giving her his muffed voice trying to feel for the covers with his feet. No she had totally ripped off the covers to the floor, what a meanie. If JC had even thought about tried that with her he would have been dead in six milaseconds. "YOU HAVE TILL THE COUNT OF FIVE 1....2", psh this woman thinks she is the boss of me im a grown ass man. Jayson tossed around in his mind as the counting went on. "3 LOOK MR. DONT MAKE ME COUNT TO FIVE 4..", keep on counting there was no way in hell jay-jay was going to get up at any moment. "4 and a half.. WHEN I GET TO FIVE ILL WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR CAMERA.. FIV-". JC had sprung up fast that he had almost slipped on the rug. "FINE, OKAY im up see", opening his eye widely as they burned with the site of sun shine sticking threw the blinds.

DANG. one night of looking for captain crews hidden treasure and all of a sudden your the criminal. When jayson found those gold coins there was not one red sent that was going to go to his mother. Nope.nope.nope. it was all going to the new boat he was going buy so him and his bother could be real pirates. MAWHAHA. "Thank you my love now if you go down stairs i have dinner ready on the table". His face had lighted up okay so maybe his mommy was going to get some gold. "Really mom thanks what we having", he asked as he looked at the clock almost five. "Were having chicken and rice with steamed veggies", she said brightly looking down at the floor. "Oh boy jayson when are you going to clean up this room". Ms. Clasp looked around the room with a hand placed to her forehead. JayC had looked around feeling his eyes get more awake as he took around himself. "Come on mom its not that bad at least i find something clean smelling everyday". Giving a small giggle grabbing his cell phone turning it on and sticking it back in his pocket. walking out side of the room with nothing but a white T and his favorite spongebob boxer shorts for bed on. Walking over to the bathroom turning his head from side to side seeing nothing but closed doors. Adien was probably already in the back yard starting where they left off yesterday during the night time. Another closed door meant that dad had already left off to his job looking for new forms of animal life. On a Sunday, yeah that had to be just horrible for his father. That's what he had to do to keep bread on the table.

His father was a bioanimal discover person sorta thingy ma giggy he was always over at the beach. Trying to find something new to discover and when that happen it only meant one thing. Late nights at the office, never really hardly being home. Jay never really minded though at least he not out drinking at least it was something constructive. Even though his dad wasn't home most of the time at least he got to see him most of the time. Jay just shrugged walking into the bathroom turning on the water spilling some water on to his face. It was something that he had always done just to wake himself. Being one of those many things that happen in the morning. "JAYSON FOOD GETTING COLD", mommy had called down from what sounded like the kitchen. OH NO THE FOOD, jay had hopped down so fast that once again almost tripping on the rug. It was a daly thing with him dont ask why he was such a cluts. There had been this one time when jay had fell over the docks. Yeah it was a true story take his advice and never try to beat a seagull to the other end of the dock. It just didn't turn out the way you wanted for some reason people forget all about the rail and fall over the other side. "Im coming im coming", walking down all the way to the bottom of the stairs turning the side. Seeing his little brother watching his favorite show pinky and the brain. Who didn't love that show it had to be the best ever. "jayson", hearing a tiny little voice come running toward him jumping up in his arms. "Hey adien, what's up little dude", catching him up in his arms.

"Today jay are we going to keep looking for captain crews treasure", he asked hopefully as Adien was put back on the floor running back to the couch. "sure little one as soon as im don-", JC turned to a quick look at his mother who shook her head slowly. "Acutally little dude im actually kind of going to get something's done today maybe another day." Shooting him a half witted smile that said as soon as he get back. "You know what little man why don't you go and look at some of your toys up stairs". Walking over to the dinner table where his food had sat nice and hot with steam coming up. "Alright jay ill be back", adien told him as his own little black jet hair bounced off as he went up to his room. It was part of the Clasp men genes in all the pictures he had seen from the past years. Every boy in the family had jet black puffy hair just like him, his father, and adien had. "Mommy wants wrong with finding captain crews treasure", he asked dumb founded looking over to her placing his fork in a piece of chicken that looked perfect. "I just don't want you sticking nonsense in that boys mind", his mother said sternly looking over at JC with a disappointed look. His mouth had almost hit the floor when Ms. Clasp told him this. "Do you want him doing math, and reading from science books honestly mom he is only 5". Almost not being able to believe the nonsense that was coming from her mouth. "Its just just, nothing", she said turning back to the dishes. Sometimes jay had just never understood parents in anyway possible. Then yet what kind of young adult did, sometimes parents just always said cracked out things like that.

Jayson had just rolled his eyes that landed on the other side stuffing a large piece of a carrot into his mouth. BUZZBUZZBUZZ, What they heck was that putting his hand to his pocket and pulling out a cell phone. Almost forgetting that he had stuffed it into his pocket before he went to the bathroom. Flipping it open reading the text that had gotten, his eyes widen chocking on a piece of chicken that he forked down. "CRAP", jayson had only forgotten about meeting Von don down at the docks. Honestly what kind of best friend forgot about meeting up with his own bestfriend. It wasn't like Jayson didn't think Donovon was important it was that last night was filled with adventure. Everything that wasnt about the treasure had flooded out with his mind along with his list of chores to do. "what happen", jays mother had asked looking over at him with a stink eye. Man that stink eye meant that his mother thought he was up to no good. Why was it so hard for his mother just to trust him, it wasn't like jay had been one of those guys on the street selling drugs. He was going out to the dock to take some nice pictures for the rest of his collection. "IMSUPPOSETOMEETDONVOANATTHEDOCKS", Jay son said as he stuffed more and more chicken and rice into the side of his mouth. Dang why did dinner have be so great that night he had to leave for the docks.

"Its okay mom ill be back Jim going to the docks for a while but ill be back before midnight I promise". He said trying to get down the last piece of chicken that was stuck to the back of this throat. "I swear mom ill be back", jay son said filling the last pieces of food into his mouth before he had ran back up stairs. Why didn't his phone freaking give text messages earlier instead of waiting five minutes after he turned on his phone. CRAP Donbear had at least been waiting for five minutes what was another five right. Kicking his door open with one foot jay went into his room looking for something clean smelling, didn't have a stain that was on his floor. Honestly maybe his mother was right maybe this room did need a little spick and span clean up. That was one thing she was right about as of now. Picking up a pair of black pants that was laying on the floor, giving them a quick sniff then pulling them over onto his body. Those would have to do for now until he had washed his dirty clothes. Next for the shirt hmm a black one? ew black on black that just made him look way to emo. White on black maybe yeah that was a good one, slipping off his white T and putting back a new one Jc smelled it. "good enough", whispering below his breath looking for his shoes next where had they been hiding. J kicked around some things, knocked a couple things over, and put something's back to where they were suppose to be. And "AH HA", he pulled back an old sweater that relieved a black van that was some what old looking. Jayson didnt really care though that was the best part about vans they stuck forever.

BUT WAIT WERE WAS THE OTHER ONE. He gave out a small pout tossing and turing clothes from one side of the room to another. Man a little family could have got lost in jays room, maybe even a little person could go into his room and never get out. Then another AH HA escaped JC's mouth, he had a bold idea but it was crazy enough to work. MAYBE HIS SHOE WAS UNDER THE BED. Did he dare actually going under and out of his way to find the missing shoe under there. He had to it was his only hope of finding his last shoe, slowly jay went onto all fours putting his head cautiously down under his bed. People or any source of living thing had never been under jays bed in about a good couple of years. Who new what sort of dangerous nasty, unlookable, things were just waiting to eat his face once it got down there. Then once it was BAM... nothing happened he smiled loosely to himself for just thinking a monster was going out to bite him. Running his figures under there it was the SHOE. pulling it out from under, another AH H- no wait it wasn't the shoe. "What the heck", it looked like what it was to be an old sandwich. Gross. "There's where that was, i was looking for it the last time", he laughed tossing aside the moldy sandwhich over his bed as it landed with a plop next to his computer chair. Running his fingers one last time jay found the shoe then slipping it on. grabbing his camera putting it around his neck and getting ready to run out of the door.

That was untill something had caught his eye, was that, no it couldnt be, crap it was all lying out in the open. It was Don's porn mag that jay had borrowed from him almost four weeks ago. Shaking his head why did he just leave things lying around all the time. Stuffing it into his back pocket and running down the stairs "alright mom head out see you lateerrr", springing open the door out into the open fresh water salt see air. Almost running out of time it had been ten a full ten minutes that he had made Donovan wait. Darn his short attention span. Man walking with a porn mag in the back of your pocket was like walking with a crack pipe in your hand. Every second he turned it felt like everyone's beady little's eyes were judging his back. Maybe it wasn't the smartest idea to have it just in his back pocket like that. Taking it out and opening it with a little smirk on his face, no wonder everyone was looking at him funny. It only said boobs, and ass for everyone to see. Jay had felt his face turn a light red stuffing it in his front pocket covering his white T over it. He was half way down to the docks when a little breeze had hit over him. Maybe it hadn't been the brightest idea not to bring a sweater. Just then Don had came into the view as he leaned up against a meat rail. "DONIMHERE. SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LOOK LAST NIGHT I WAS HUNTING FOR TRUEAS-", he suddenly stopped realizing what he had just said. "I mean i was doing some manly things", he laughed raising up an arm and flexing of what little was there.

As the seconds, and eventually minutes went by, Donovan found himself drifting off into a light daydream as he waited for his friend. He suddenly found himself standing barefoot on the shore at the beach, staring down at the ground and moving his toes around a bit in the smushy wet sand with a light-hearted chuckle escaping his lips, before noticing that something was blocking out the sun and casting a dark silhouette over his slim figure. Lifting his head up slowly to acknowledge the stranger, he noticed that a tall man was standing before him, a gender that was distinguished only because of the beard sitting between his upper lip and his nose. The sunlight kept him from seeing his face completely, his bright eyes narrowed sharply to try and get a better look, but whatever little he did see appeared very similar to himself in some ways, minus the snake bites. Was it really his father? He parted his lips to try to speak, though his throat was suddenly dry, but he was gone before a single word got a chance to be carried off by the sea breeze. He blinked a few times, his bright blue eyes glancing around for any other signs of life.

After walking for what appeared to be miles, he stumbled across a plush animal. It was strange and he knew that it was the one that he had given Angel. He tried to think of the name, his tongue darting out to mess with his snake bites, but nothing came to mind. It was almost like he forgot who he was for a moment. He gripped it in his hands, before tucking it under his arm, flipping his brown hair out of his face as he looked around for any sight of Angel. But she was nowhere to be found. It frustrated him that even in his dreams, she seemed to disappear. He sat down on a boulder, letting his pale hands run over the stuffed animal's head, almost as if it were a pet. His eyes were slightly glazed over, a small sigh escaping his lips, before a loud sound snapped him out of his daydream.

Donovan shook a bit in surprise as he turned his head to look at someone stepping off of their boat and on to the dock, before securing their boat. He watched the process with a faint numbness in his bones, blinking a few times as he then slowly looked down at his cellphone to check the time and noticed that his friend was running late. It had been five minutes since he'd texted him and he expected to wait for at least another five, but any longer than that and he'd probably head out. It wasn't his friend's fault that he was feeling out of it lately and a part of him didn't want to contaminate his otherwise cheerful friend. So maybe it would be best for him not to meet him here. But then again, maybe Jayson was the only one who could snap him out of it. They were so comfortable around each other, he felt like he could tell him anything, and he hoped that Jayson knew that he could do the same.

Though he had a feeling that his counterpart didn't dig himself into the same holes that he did. And just then, as if on cue, Jayson came out of nowhere. A smile immediately settled on his lips at the sight of his friend, even if he had been waiting for a whole ten minutes. If he couldn't forgive a friend, who could he forgive? He listened to the quick explanation that Jayson threw at him, cutting himself off midway, but the little bit that Dino did catch made him furrow his eyebrows. "Umm, what?" he said with laughter in his voice, one that was quick to reach his eyes. When he continued, he found himself laughing, nodding as he watched his friend flex his muscles. "Dude, you don't have to explain anything to me. I know you're getting yourself all buff for the olympics and shizz. We're totally gonna win! Cuz, you know, I'm your trainer. I get half of the profits." He grinned a cheeky smile at his friend, patting him on the shoulder, before noticing that he was hiding something under his shirt.

"Jay," he said in a warning tone, as if he were his mother scolding him for something. "You know that's not a place to hide socks." He then chuckled, letting his feet move the board around a bit before him on the ground, before looking back up at him. "Alright, so let's get this shindig started, bro," he said after a pause to let Jayson catch his breath, before he slipped his bookbag off of his shoulders and set it down on the ground, leaning down to pull the zipper across the top, exposing the spine of his sketchbook. Pulling it out, he placed the lead pencil in his mouth--yes, the same one that had woken him up a few nights ago by poking him in the side, before he went to give Angel a visit--and held it there with his teeth as he tucked the sketchbook under his arm, zipping the bag back up with his free hands and slipping his arms through the straps, heaving it up a bit. Twirling the lead pencil around in his fingers like a pair of drumsticks, Dino leaned the sketchbook against the railing and propped it open to a blank page, before turning to look at Jayson.
