Both of her parents still supported her, but she ended up living with her dad. By the time she was 15 she had been in and out of the hospital so many times that she knew all the staff by name and she always stayed in a specific room. It was like her second home. When they started giving her medications to take she complained of depression so they suggested she take up a hobby or two. So, she started taking up one hobby after another. She currently lives at home with her parents and is happy for the time being.

Sydney

Sydney hopped out of the shower and threw on the outfit she had set out for herself. She picked up her copy of 'The Shadow of the Wind', and without putting any makeup on her face she ventured outside her room. The hallway was empty but she could hear voices in the distance. She assumed they were inside because they were clear as day. Instead of seeking out the voices she headed toward a balcony thinking that the fresh air would do her good. 'No use talking to new people when i'm still angry at my parents' she thought, feeling like a stereotypical teenager again. When suddenly she bumped into someone and quite literally almost fell over. Instead, her book hit the floor with a loud slap. She picked it up quickly and apologized to the guy. "I'm sorry. I should've been paying attention to where I was going"

Ryan stumbled back a bit and he looked down at he girl who had bumped into him and he resisted the urge to snarl. She had meant no harm, he told himself, even apologized. He noticed a few of the pages of her book had bent from the fall and he reached out and corrected them and smoothed the cover over and said "not a problem." he looked at her, was silent for a moment and then said "I'm Ryan." he told her in his Irish lilt.

Ryan chuckled and he looked out at the view from the balcony and said "you and me both." he gave her a side long glance and said "I'm afraid some of that drama was my fault. Seems I'm not a very nice person at times." he told her. He couldn't help the cruel smile and he leaned against the railing and said "what brings you here Sydney?" he asked.

Ryan let his arms dangle over the railing and he shifted back and forth on his feet and he said "I'd like to see you mad." he could picture her hair standing on end raging like a bull. He forced back a smile at the thought. He listened to her reason and nodded "I'm here because my parents got sick of posting bail for me, so they sent me to a place they thought could help make me a better person." he turned around and leaned his back against it and looked at her. He crossed his arms and asked "do you suppose this school can do tht for us?"

Ryan raised his brow and he straightened and took a step towards her so he was towering over her "I don't intimidate you?" he lowered his voice a little. He felt like testing her for some reason. He watched her carefully and said "I think this whole school seems a bit silly but seems you an I have no choice but to be here."

Ryan broke into a smile and he stepped back and said "so do you intend to leave then Sydney? Is that your whole plan?" he asked her. He reached out and with out thinking he took her book and flipped it over and read the back. When she asked him why she should be intimidated he lifted his head at her and said "well I do have a record, I've hurt my fair share of people." he told her "doesn't that case reason for alarm?" it suprised him that she seemed so at ease with him.

Ryan nodded listening to her words and he felt they made sense. He watched her smirk at him and he couldnt stop the quirk of his own mouth in a return smile. He reached out at grasped her hand in a firm handshake and he gave her arm two firm pumps before saying "I am Ryan. I'm Irish and proud of it, I like video games and beating people up. Cant say I mind hiking either." He let go of her hand and said "It's good to meet you." she was an interesting girl, he thought to himself, maybe he would have a friend after all here. "I beleive you said kick boxing right? Wanna show me a few moves?" He asked her.

Sydney

Sydney watched with an amused smile as he shook her hand, and laughed at his hiking comment. "Nice to meet you too Ryan" He asked to see a few of her kickboxing moves and without hesitation she obliged. She brought her hands into a fist in front of her chest and stood with her feet shoulder width apart. She started with a roundhouse kick, stopping centimeters from his side, unwilling to injure him. Then moved rapidly into an elbow hook strike then an overhand punch. Again, stopping centimeters from his body. "So, tell me again how much you like beating people up?" she winked.

Ryan watched her and when she moved into the kick he couldnt help the small flinch and he hated himself for it. She moved gracefully he noticed, yet there was a violence to her. He didnt move for her other attacks and she was finished and made a jab at one of his likes he rolled his eyes and lifted a hand and pushed her head down in a playful motion. "Hush you." He told her. "I can beat people up I just dont make it look as pretty as you do." he told her his ego a bit hurt.

Sydney

Sydney laughed as he playfully pushed her away. "What better way to beat people up than with beauty and grace?" she said simply, letting the anger she had built up release. Then she noticed the look on his face. "I didn't mean to belittle you" she said sincerely. "I was just trying to prove that i'm not intimidated by you. People are not always as they seem" she said "I've also noticed that with you"

Ryan looked at her with a besmused expression and he said "Go write some poetry with that mouth of yours." He couldnt stop his laughter from bubbling out and he shook his head at himself. This was silly he thought. He should be annoyed by the likes of her and yet he found her entertaining. "You've proven your point." he told her leaning back against the railing, he also felt the need to tell her that her little act hadnt frightened him either just to boost his bruised ego a little so he said "Your little routine was cute."

Sydney

Sydney rolled her eyes at his poetry comment. "Maybe I will" she smirked. "I had a feeling I had proven my point" she replied, starting to see the ego in his eyes. "My little routine?" she said, getting inches away from his face. "Is that why you flinched away when I kicked at your face?" she said, not caring how bruised his ego was at this point. "I am NOT afraid to remove those few centimeters from my moves and your body." she was close enough that her breath was on his face.

Ryan narrowed his eyes at her and he growled something about a natrual reflex, he wasnt going to back down from this girl and he didnt move when she drew closer and closer, he could smell what toothpaste she had used. His hands moved to her wrists and in a swift move he had her pinned against the balcony, their distance still centimeters apart, "I will never hit a woman." he promised her "But I think we both know who would win in a fight." He growled at her. No way could this little thing beat him.

Sydney

Sydney let him pin her to the wall. "How do you know who'd win if you'll never hit a woman?" she asked half playfully half serious. "and Yes, It would be me" she said, purposely trying to make him angry. "professionally trained kick boxer against a juvenile delinquent. Yeah...real hard to figure out who'd win that fight.' she thought, shifting comfortably in his grasp. Then, out of the blue she swiveled her wrists around, grabbed his arms, pinned them behind his back, and kicked the back of his knees sending him to the floor. She sat on top of him and pinned his arms above his head. She smiled sweetly and then released his arms, still sitting on him.

Ryan growled at her and shook his head angrilly, no way could this woman win against someone who knew how to fight without the rules. At least that was his last thought before he was down on the floor pinned by the woman he thought couldnt even lift him. He felt the anger in him burst and he shouted angrily and once she released him he pushed up and grabbed her roughly and shoved her down. He had both of her wrists in one larger hand and another pressing down her hips to the balcony floor. "Dont. Ever. Touch. Me. Again." He whispered in her ear, his rage radiating with ever word. He shoved her away and then stood and brushed off his pants. Her book had fallen in the commotion and for some reason he picked it up and kept it. He left her with out another word. There was no way he could make friends here. He wasnt the type to have them.

Ryan was looking down at the book wondering what one earth he wasgoing to do with it when he felt Sydney brush by him. He frown when he noticed a streak of red. He paused for a moment thinking back to their little roll and he wondered if he had hurt her. No he couldnt have... he was careful not to. Ryan felt sick to his stomach, he had hurt a woman. His mother would be furious, he shivered at the thought of her wrath upon him and so he did what he knew his mum would want him to do. He went after her. Ryan caught up with Sydney in a few long strides and he grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. He was still furious so he gripped her chin and forced her to look at him as he examined for wounds. He noticed the red of her lips and wondered if it was internal. "What's wrong?" He demanded.

Sydney

Sydney was trying to catch her breath when Ryan grabbed her shoulder. "not now Ryan" she coughed into her arm and more droplets of crimson stained her skin. "You're hurting me" she said softly, gently removing his hand from her chin. She pulled away from him and kept towards her room, her breathing was heavier now and she prayed she'd at least make it to her room. She tripped again but this time it took her a few seconds to regain herself and stand back up.

Ryan followed after her oblivious to the fact that she obviously wanted to be alone. He saw her trip and decided then what he should do. He walked up behind her and scooped her up into his arms as gently as he could and carried her up the stairs and to the rooms. "Which one is yours." He asked her looking down at her face, he was concerned now more than anything and wanted to help her. Sure she had pissed him off but she didnt need to cough up blood for it. He felt responsible.

Sydney's mind was hazy as she felt herself being lifted off the ground. Then she heard Ryan's voice. "fif...fifteen" she said breathlessly. When he brought her into her room she pushed herself out of his arms and crawled over to her dresser, grabbing bottles out of her bag. She shoved about 3 different pills in her mouth and swallowed hard. "Give me a minute" she said, waiting for her medication to kick in. She tried to steady her breathing and after 15 minutes of sitting back with her eyes closed she was starting to feel better and hadn't coughed for at least 10 minutes. She heaved a sigh and pulled herself off the floor. Her head spun and she still felt nauseous but she also knew that was a side effect of the medication. She put on her game face for Ryan. It was one that she used for years and she had hoped it would work on him. "Sorry about that. Let's go to breakfast shall we?" she said, brushing past him.

Ryan waited with her keeping a careful eye on her as she let the meds kick in. He could see the improvement and there was some colour back in her face. He felt a small rush of releif and he let out the breath he had been holding. He noticed her change, she was on the defensive. Obviously she didnt want to talk about what had happened and Ryan would oblige. She spoke of breakfast and he nodded and said "You do look a little hungry." He told her adapting to the change easilly. It was like when his parents never spoke of his jail time or the fights he got into. Still he watched her carefully as they made their way down to the kitchen which was empty for the moment. He looked at Sydney and said "I'll make you something if you like." He still felt responsible for what had happened and the honourable part of him wanted to make ammends.
