Linda - Ah, Shouldn't be much longer. Remember how much fun you two used to have out there.
Linda - Once we're home, you'll remember....
Jayden - Why did we have to leave home
Linda - We all needed a fresh start love... You know that.
Good, looks like the rains clearing up. It rains here most of the time, hope you can get used to it!
Here that? It's the ocean, we're so close. You'll be hearing it all the time...
Here Love, you take this small bag...
Jayden? I wasn't expecting you to get here for another couple of hours, where is your mother?
Oh! I guess I should probably go and help her.
Dad...?
Where's Julian....?
He's at school, he was going to stay home, but said something about a test.
It's so good to have you home kiddo!
Oh, not even a hug for your old man...?
So when is he getting home?
Should be home in an hour or so... I think.
So in the mean time! I would love some help bringing in our begs!
There you are Love, how was the trip?
Dad, I'm tired, can I go and have a nap?
Linda - Jayden! You just spent the entire trip sleeping and- Curtis - Of course you can kiddo! Your room's upstairs on your right, I'll let Julian know to wake you when he gets home.
Curtis...!
She shouldn't be sleeping so much, she's already been sleeping non stop the entire trip up here. And the least you could have done was to tell her to help me bring in the begs!
Why don't you tell her that yourself?
You know I don't have it in me to be stern with her. You and Julian spoil her too much...
You're one to talk! If anything you spoil her more then anyone else!
Come on! Let's finish getting everything in, your probably tired too from driving for the last week.
Hey check it out! The rains finally clearing up!
Hey Julian... Eh! Julian!?
A few of us are going to go down to the beach and have a bonfire, Amy and a few others are going to join us, you in?
[laughs] Can't, mom and little sister are coming into day. I have to be there when they get home.
No problem, another time. Maybe you can bring her along.
Julian - I'm home!
Welcome home Love! It's good to see you!
Welcome home mom, when did you get in?
Around 3:00 this afternoon, we decided to leave the hotel early, and get a head start on the road before it got too busy.
You didn't have any trouble finding it, did you?
Not at all! We used to drive up here all the time when you kids where little.
He's in the back barbequing. I was just helping him when I heard you come in. I thought you would have stayed home today?
I have things to take care of. How long til dinner's ready?
Well we just started, it's salmon, so it might take awhile still. But if your hungry right now, I have a salad sitting in the fridge.
I'm fine, I can wait. You should get back to helping dad.
Alright, if you need anything, just give me a shout.
Mom...? Where's Jayden?
She was tired so she went to have a nap. She's in her room!
Welcome home mom, when did you get in?
Hey sleepy-head...
Why wern't you were this afternoon? Where were you?
We had a test....
Jayden - Oh really....? Julian - Yeah! Jayden - Your lying!
I'm not lying!
I know when your lying to me Julian, your my twin brother...!
[sigh] I'm here now, what does it matter? Can't you be happy?
I havn;t seen my little sister in over a week, and now she want's to start picking a fight with me?
I missed you... I'm sorry! I had class and a test I didn't want to fail. Listen, I'm sorry, I can't change what I did. I can't only say it won't happen again. I-
I missed you too...
Shhhh, no more. I don't want to have you upset, that's the last thing I want to see right now.
I hate them...!
I know...!
Why did they make us move....?
Julian - It doesn't matter Jayden, we're together again and- [Linda calling] Julian! Jayden, dinner's ready!
Coming mom!
Come on, lets to down and get something to eat.
Well I can see you and your father have been busy this week, setting everything up.
Yeah! There's still a lot to go, figured best to leave something for you to do, sense the hardest thing you had to do was drive up here!
I don`t really consider being stuck in a car, driving through mountains is really my idea of easy.
So Jayden, how do you like your new room?
It's fine, it looks alot like my room back home...
I thought you would be tired from the trip, so I set it up just the was I remember it back in the city.
How are your legs sweet? Are they still hurting you?
Julian - Your legs are hurting? Curtis: How long has the pain been there?!
No! They just hurt from sitting too long... I'm fine now.
How is your health, any stomach pains? You do look more tired-
Everything is fine!
well you did throw-up once on your way here...
I'm not used to traveling for so long...
I started work at the clinic here a few days ago, I‘ll cancel my appointments tomorrow, I want you to come in for a full check up!
Jayden - Dad, no! Really I'm fine, I don't- Julian - I'll stay home and bring her there, I can show her around on our way over.
I‘ll call the school tomorrow morning before I head off to work and let them know you won‘t be coming in.
Okay, sounds like a plan!
So have you made any friends yet?
Kind of I guess, people are pretty friendly here, it‘s a big place, but... not as big as the city I suppose, though people see less stuck up I here, or so I‘ve seen so far
It`s good to hear you opening up, I‘m glad your finally making some. You‘ll help Jayden make some as well, you know how shy she can be.
Of course I will mom, I‘ll make sure she‘s the most popular girl in school by the end of next week . When is she starting anyway?
I would like her to start as soon as possible, If everything seems fine after the check up tomorrow, then she can start Thursday.
I'm done, I'm gonna go back to my room.
Sweetie, what's wrong?
Nothing really, I'm just not that hungry. I'm going to go back to my room.
Linda - No Sweetie! Finish your- Julian - Here Jayden!
I'll take you up stairs, I have to go and start doing homework.
Alright, but if you feel sick less us know!
What's wrong? Why didn't you finish your food?
Why do you all act like I can't take care of myself?
What are you talking about?
Stop acting dumb! You know what I mean! There! Just now downstairs! Regardless of what I said, you all just speak through me, like I don't know when I'm feeling fine! But you all just act like you know....
Jayden, that's not true! Mom and dad worry about you.
Jayden - Stop it! Julian - Stop what!?
That act that you put on for them! The "Oh, I'm the perfect son," act that you do!
I do that so you have some freedom with me! If I acted like you, then they would always be on both of our cases! At least when I pretend they think I'm responsible enough to look after you!
Oh really? You mean like helping me make friends !?
Well yeah!
Why do we need to make friends!? It's fine just you and me!
Because! It's what normal teenagers do Jayden!
Why do you have to be so difficult...?
Julian?
Uh huh? What?
So, you heading to bed soon?
Yeah... I just wanted to finish this assignment.
Looks like you spent all your time fixing up Jayden`s room.... but not your own, though I`m not surprised to see you have your posters and art work up at least
Of course, you know me, can't have bare walls...
Well, good to hear your settling in, night Love-
Mom...? Why did we have to move here, everything was fine in the city. Wasn't it?
Your dad and I both needed a change of scenery, and school for you two was hard. For Jayden at least, you know how much she hated those special classes, and she refused to do them without you here the school's as uptight, she can take normal class with you
Julian - Yeah I know but- Linda - And you had your own problems too Julian! Don't forget! You needed a change as well, we all did.
Yeah, I guess....
Sleep well Sweet-heart.
1:23 Am... Damn it Julian! Just fall asleep already!
Jayden....? Is that you?
I can't sleep.... Can I come and lay with you?
Mad or not, I shouldn't be surprised to have her come to me, it`s always been like this sense we were little. Part of me wonders when it will end, I know it should have ended a long time ago, we`re too old for this, it isn`t innocent need anymore
Maybe for her it's still innocent.... But for me-
I'm sorry... I didn't mean to get mad at you.
I know how hard this move has been on you.
Please talk to me!
I always take you for granted don‘t I? I‘m cruel, and mean, I‘m a fool aren’t I? I don‘t deserve to look after you.
Why do you always say the things I'm suppose to...? You need to stop apologizing for me.
Jayden....
I'm sorry Julian, I didn't mean to make you feel bad...
Go to sleep Jayden....
