RENT

Bree- "Oh it's alright, he got dinner with a new /friend/. And Clarissa is asleep. She'll wake up in a bit. Her sleeping patterns are soooo screwed up."

Owen: "Aw, Aidan's finally get a bang buddy. How adorable." I laid back, looking at the TV without really watching it.

Bree- "Be happy for him! He deserves it!" After all the stuff Aidyn's been through, it's the truth. I heard gibberish from the other room. "Looks like Clarissa's up!" I hopped up to go grab her.

Owen: I stood up as well. "Can I come with? Clarissa loves her Munchkins."

Bree- "Nah, I'll bring her in here." I got up, and a few moments later returned with my baby girl. "Say hi to Owen!" I moved her hand in a waving motion.

Owen: A smile lit up my face. "Hey baby! I brought you a present!" I pulled out the munchkins from behind my back. I held out a chocolate one to her; chocolate was tied with jelly for her favorite.

Clarissa- *Reaches down and grabs munchkin.* "Om nom nom nom" *Smiles and goo's* *Reaches down to hug Owen.*

Bree- I lowered her to give Owen a hug, then I reached into a bag to pull out a munchkin and pop it in my mouth. I took a sip of coffee, and sat Clarissa on my bed. "How you doin Owen?"

Owen: I talked to Clarissa for another moment in that baby voice, giving myself a moment to think of the best way to phrase it. "Not that great, I guess. I've been trying to get into the spirit of partying and just living to live and I don't think I can do it."

Stevie wrote:Breana- "Shut up!" I nudged him playfully. "It's not as easy as it looks..." I sat indian style on my bed, and kept my eyes focused on the TV. I took a sip of my coffee. "Aidyn's coming over."

Aidyn- "Let's go then." I hopped up from my chair and grabbed a sweatshirt, threw it over my head, and grabbed my house key.

Alice looked at him and held in a sigh. She didnt really want to go anywhere but she didnt want to be rude. She followed Aidyn and watched him closly. She found... sligtly interesting.

Bree- "What...? You can do whatever you want! You're out of school."

Aidyn- We walked in silence for a moment. "How old are you?" I checked her out.

Alice looked at him and shrugged. "21. What about you?" She asked. She felt alittle embarrased and put on her puple hood. It hid her face and she looked down slightly. She hated this awkward part.

Owen: "I just can't play the part, I guess." I turned back to Clarie. "Who's a good girl? Who wants a jelly?"

Aiyden- "Me too...." I paused slightly not wanting an awkward silent... "Do you go to school?"

Bree- "It's not like you have anything to worry about.... Go party and stuff. You're free to do whatever. The only person holding you back is yourself."

Owen: "I don't know. It just seems...wrong." I said, not looking away from Claire. "No? How about a chocolate?" I asked, once again in a baby voice.

Bre- Clarissa mumbled a 'YAY!' Then grabbed the munchkin from Owen. "I dunno. You seem to be doing fine to me. Like, maybe take a couple night school courses, if that's what you're into. I mean, if you're not happy, there are so many things you can do in your life to change that." I squinted at the tv for a minute, then I rolled onto my back on the bed, reached to my right side, and grabbed my glasses off the nightstand. I sat back up and looked at the tv. "You can change it if you want," I said as I handed the remote to Owen.

Owen: I let the issue go. She was so wrong. "Why would I? Seeing how todays generation deals with being parents at sixteen is quality entertainment!" I said sarcastically.

Bree- I glared at him angerly. "So I assume you find my life totally entertaining?! Why don't you come over a little more often, seewhat it's like. Yeah, it's all fun and games now, but she has to learn from a day care. And she has no authority. No father figure. I'm alone on this one Owen." I held Clarissa still in my lap, as tears formed in my eyes.

Owen: And here were the hormones again. Must be her 'time of the month' or something. I put my arm around her shoulder, holding her close so she couldn't shrug it off. "It's called sarcasm, sweetie," I said, trying to be quiet and calm. I looked into her eyes, making her believe me. "And you should know by now-anything Clarissa needs, I'm there." I absently handed her another Munchkin, leaving one hand around Bree, only realizing later that it emphasized the point.

Alice shook her head but then thought about it. "Sort of. I study dance at the oprea house. I have been looking for some place to live but I kind of miss the oprea house." She saidwith a small laugh.

((SO SORRY! I've been mad busy.))

Bree: "I appreaciate it hun, I really do. I know that you're there and I'm soooo greatful for it. But you gotta understand times are hard." I glanced at the arm he placed around me. It really showed how much he cared.

Aidyn: "Well you're lucky you found this place... We aren't exactly an opera house... More of a madhouse.." I stated with a slight laugh. We turned the corner and I pressed the elevator button. Nothing to make things more awkward like elevator music. I sighed slowly under my breath.

Owen: "This might sound inconsiderate," I said, shrugging back. "But times are only hard if you think of them that way. Mind over matter. Focus on the amazing things you have- Clarissa, an apartment... me..." I said, laughing. "Focus on the good, and forget about all this other shit, excuse-my-French." I sighed. "The power of positive thinking."

Bree: "Ayooo. If I keep you around, Clarissa's going to start cursing instead of asking for her bottle." I laughed. "But yeah I guess, it's whatever at this point. As soon as I finish school, I can get a job, but then she'll need a sitter... It's too much work." I sighed. "But I guess I shouldn't bother worrying about it now..." I smiled, because I know I should be happy.

Owen:
I looked at her grimace. "Nice try, but try again. That smile is pathetic." I grabbed Clarissa and threw her in the air, catching her and spinning her towards Bree. Claire's smile was blinding, and Bree should see that too.

Bree: When I saw Clarissa's smile I realized I had everything perfect in the world to live for. I mean, when I thought I was in love with Clarissa's father, I thought I had everything in the world. I was wrong, and that's a part of life. People make mistakes, and I realized I did. ~ I grabbed my daughter from Owens arms and hugged her tight. I looked Owen right in the eyes, and flashed him an honest to God smile. "There."

Owen: I grinned a little too. "There you go. Now focus on this little beauty-" I said, pinching on of Claire's cheeks for a moment, "and, I promise, everything else will just melt away." I sighed for a moment, looking at Bree's happiness. "Now, back to Teen Mom 2: The Return of Naptime." I said, turning my attention back to the TV.
