« prev 21 in pool next »

"Eh, anyone seen Coco?"  Maxxi asked, peeking into Jazz's and Dante's room.  Dante looked up from tinkering with huis gun and Jazz looked up from hi book.
"She went up to the deck, why?"  Jazz asked
"No reason, it's just..did she look...sad at all?"
"Just a little..."  Dante mummbled, tightening a screw.
"Thanks, mates."  He said before heading to the stairs.
Coco stood at the front of the boat, looking out into the sea.  She had on her favorite one sleeve blue dress and a sweatshirt Maxxi gave her.  She was chewing on the inside of her lip, trying to think.
"Sheila?"  Maxxi asked, coming up behind her.
"Hmm? Oh, hi, Maxxi."  Coco mummbled, glancing back at him.
"You okay?"  He asked, standing next to ehr and leaning on the railing.
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
"You didn't seem fine last night, whats eatin at you?"
"It's nothing..."  Coco said, looking down into the water.  Maxxi ran his fingers through his hair.
"Don' lie to me.  I know you."
"No, you don't...you think you do, but you don't."
"Stop it, tell me whats teh matter, I've never seen you like this.  Except for when-"  Maxxi stopped himself.  The last tiem she acted like this is when her last boyfriend broke up with her.  "Sheila...?"
"Look, it's no big deal, all right?  I'm fine."  Maxxi watched as she climbed over the railing, held on and looked down at the water.
"Coco! Get down!"  Maxxi made a grab for eh rarm.
"Leave me alone!"  Coco yelled, pulling ehr arm away.  He right foot almost slipped but she held on.
"Coco, enough, get off of there and let's talk, okay, you're acting like a kid!"  Maxxi coaxed.  Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a nearby potted tree slowly begin to wither and turn brown.  "Come one, Coco.  You can trust me."
"I heard you and the others talking.."  Coco said, looking back at him.  Her eyes red and puffy.
"And?  I told them the truth."
"You sounded like you were pissed when the said we were dating."
"Sheila, we aren't dating.  You know that.  Now come off of there before you hurt yourself."  Maxxi said, holding his hand out.  Coco looked down at the water.
"Mark... Cody... Marcelo...every boy I've given my heart to ends up hurting me..."
"Coco, stop it, you're really scaring me right now."  Maxxi said.  His heart was beating, but at Least he was close enough to her to grab her.
"I thought...maybe you'd be different..."  Coco mummbled.  Maxxi glanced down and saw her feet slowly sliding to the edge, closer to a straight plumet into the water.
"Sheila, I know, now, come off there so we can talk."
"...Courtney..."  She mummbled.
"Wha-"  Maxxi stopped.  "NO!"  He lunged forward as Coco's legs fell over the edge.  Dropping down he reached through the railing bars and gripped ehr hand.  "Coco!  What teh hell are you doing!?"  He yelled, pulling her up.  Coco's breathing was fast, only broken by sobs.  "What the hell were you fuckin thinking?!"  Maxxi yelled at her, pulling onto the deck.  He pulled ehr close and hugged her.  Coco sobbed and nuzzled into his chest.  Maxxi looked down at her and sighed.  "Come on, let's get you back to the room before Leon sees and kills me."  He said, standing up.  He made his way down the deck to the stairs, pacing by Jazz who watched them go by.  Maxxi only shook his head, not wanting to talk.
"What happened?"  Scooter asked, shocked, and hiding a playboy mag under his pillow.
"Not right now, Coco just needs some rest."  Maxxis aid, putting her into her bunk and tucking her in.  Coco curled up and cried into her pillow.  Maxxi hopped into his bunk and watched her.  Leon stood up, he had to bend his knees a bit to fit without hitting his head.
"What happened?"  He asked, looking to Maxxi.
"She tried to kill herself."  Maxxi said, reaching across the isle to tuck teh covers under Coco's chin.
"What?!  How- Coco, why?"
"Me...she says each time she gives 'er heart to some bloke he breaks it.  Guess I did too."
"Coco~ Come on, talk to me."  Leon urged, cupping her cheek.  Coco looked at him, still sobbing, trying to make ehr words come out.  "Shhh, ssshhh~ it's okay, it's okay.  But you need to tell us what you;'re feeling."  Scooter reached into Coco's bag and pulled out a blue folder, tapping Leons leg with it.  Leon looked down and smirked.  "Thanks, Coco, come on, lets do Diary cards, that alwasy cheers you up."  Leon said, taking the folder and  nudging Coco with it.  "I'll even make Dante Join if it's make you happy~"  Leon urged.  Coco couldn't help a small smile.  "Oh! I think I saw a smile~"  Leion teased.  Maxxi leaned over the edge of his bunk and looked at Scooter, both simaltaniously put a finger in their open mouths and made gagging sounds.  Leon dunkey kicked Scooter and wacked Maxxi over the head.
--------------
"Okay, Dante, you go first."  Scooter said.  Dante growled at him.  Leon nodded to Coco, mouthing 'do it for ehr'.
"Fine..Jazz, your sadness was a...two.."  He forced himself to say.  Diary Cards was Coco's idea two years ago.  When there was tention in the house, everyone filled one out and traded.  Someone would ask the person who's card they had about their day, some coaping skilled they used and what their feelings were on a scale of 0 to 5.  Needless to say, Dante hated it with a pation.
"I was sad today because Coco is not feeling well and...tried to do something foolish."  Jazz finished, eyesing Coco.  Coco smiled.  Dante wanted to burn the boat into the sea.
"Okay, Coco, your sad was a 5"  Jazz said, looking at her.
"I'm sad because... I...I love Maxxi...but he doesn't feel the same way..."
"Maxxi?"  Jazz asked.
"Coco, I do love you, I mean, not int eh dating kind but..."
"Enought to have sex with me?"  She growled.
"Coco, looked.  You're very special to me, to everyone here!  But to each one of us it is a different type of love.  Leon loves you like a sister, and occasialy like a daughter"  Leon nodded.  "Scooter loves you since he tends to love everything."
"Rainbows~"  Scooter giggled.
"Jazz loves you since you're always there for 'im."  Jazz nodded.  "Hell, I bet deep down mister gloomy loves you alot too, right Dant?"  Dante growled at him, his hand inching closer to the gun.  "He may no show it, but I'm sure he does."
"Fuck off."  Dante growled.
"Look, Coco, I may not be IN love with you, but I love ya just the same."
"He is right, Coco.  If you don't believe us, then why are you still here.  If you thought we didn't love you, you could have easily went to child servises and requested a new home."  Jazz pointed out.  It was true.  If sh erequested it, and they investigated, she would be moved to another home away from them.
".....thanks..."  Coco murmmered.
--------
That night, after every thing was settled, and everyone went there seperate ways, Coco went to bed.  As she slept, her door creaked open.  Some one came in and stood by her bunk.  Slolwy, he reached up and touched ehr hair, murmmering.  "If youe ver do something stupid again, I will shoot you where you stand."  Slowly he walked away, careful not to wake ehr and left.  Coco smiled.
"Good night, Dante."  Sh esaid softly intot he darkness.
