Thread: From Everything WHO: James Weatherby and Paxton Rivera WHEN: Feb 15th WHERE: Library NPCs: Dr. Kenneth Styles
James could only hang up and ignore the calls from his father so many times. The excuse of having your phone broken only worked for poor people who couldn't instantly get theirs replaced. He couldn't say he was busy. It was High School and he had lost the elections, how could he possibly be busy? James' father was persistent, but James was still in no mood to explain himself to the man. He did, however, take the call from his sire when it finally came.
Smug that his efforts had been noticed by the old vampire, James even answered the call in the middle of the library, speaking softly. "Hello, Dr. Styles."
"James." The reply was like dark maple syrup in smoothness.
"Did you need something from me?"
There was a pause and then the sire gave a small laugh that made James bristle. "No. I just wanted to call and see how you were doing. Your father is furious, but you already knew that. You've left him no choice, you know. He said you've even broken up with Victoria? James... This little act of rebellion you've put on has gone on long enough. It's time to shape up. This behavior is unacceptable."
"Funny," James laughed bitterly. "I think it's the first acceptable thing I've done yet. I've finally done something for myself, for my reasons, and you don't even ask what they are before you're telling me to get back on the horse that kicked me to the ground!"
"James."
"Dr. Styles."
"..." The vampire sighed. "Mr. Weatherby has cut you off. When you decide to act like an adult, when you decide to fix your mistakes, you might get it back."
"What?! B-But! He can't..."
"He can. I suggested it to him. Now stop behaving like a petulant child. It's disgusting."
"But..."
"Do what you have to do to fix this for us. For your future."
