Caiden fell into that trend where mostly every boy around him had long hair, and not wanting to be the oddball he grown his own out. At points of his life, Caiden was confused as a girl because he sometimes forgot to cut his own hair. His parents would push him to cut his hair, because they didn’t enjoy the look of long hair on a male. Caiden was always stubborn when it came to this, and always refused and they finally gave up and Caiden just kept the long hair. He isn’t out to suit anyone’s fancy with his hair, if his hair suits his style than that’s all that matters.
Most people will more than likely never see Caiden’s eyes, because his hair are always in front of them. If you catch the glimpse of his eyes they’re not that extraordinary. His eyes are somewhat small and almond shape, so you can really see the bold color of brown that inhabit his eyes. Caiden doesn’t mind his eye color, unlike some people who hate their eye color and wish they had different eyes. Caiden has terrible eyesight, and he goes have glasses that are thick framed and black, but he only wears them when he’s by himself or he doesn’t feel like putting his contacts in. When he has his glasses on he feels uncomfortable because they usually hurt his nose, but he’s a lazy ass, so he usually has them on in his dorm room.
Caiden has no confidence in his body what so ever. He’s on the verge of being too skinny, and he doesn’t like food, but he’s always forced to eat. Caiden doesn’t like to work out, because he really does hate to get sweaty and smelly, but he does do some push-ups once and a while. He plays guitar, which makes him have very visible vein filled arms, and he likes how they attract people. Caiden has awkward hip bones, they usually jet out, and make his pants hang lower than necessary, and he gets yelled at for not having his pants pulled up all the way. One thing Caiden wishes, was that his hipbones weren’t so screwed up. He has no body strength, which makes him weak and defenseless.
Caiden actually has a tattoo on the back of his neck that says ‘EST. 1992’ he was drunk at the time that he got it, but he’s grown to like it, and the fact that he can hide it with his hair helps as well. He doesn’t want people to know that he actually did get a tattoo, because he was about fifteen or so when he did, and at that time he was a friend with people who were tattoo artists, and he got that tattoo. He does regret getting it in the first place, but it has grown on him and he can barely see it anyway. Caiden has very tan skin, mostly because he is Italian and his skin can tan very easily, most girls are attracted to his skin, but he hates how it looks, he wishes it was a bit more paler. Also, Caiden had some birthmarks around the apple of his cheek, which most people find to be awkward or unique.

but basically, I'm ,
When you first meet Caiden, you would realize that he doesn’t really look at you in the eye. He’s very, very shy upon first meeting and he’s very scared of people, so when he first meets someone he doesn’t look at them straight in the eye because they might notice he’s sick or they just won’t like him and he’ll have to watch them walk away. Caiden’s voice is somewhat deep, and quiet because he doesn’t like loud things, and he hates when people scream in his ear just to talk to him, he isn’t dear he’ll understand if you talk quietly. He is a very soft-spoken man, and his voice shows that he really cares and that he uses the manners he was taught to use. After a while and pushing Caiden out of his shell, he’ll become a bit more louder and care free. He won’t take it over the top and scream in your ear constantly, but he will be louder and his voice won’t be as soft as before. He doesn’t trust very easily, and he doesn’t like getting mixed up with the people he was mixed up with before, because they just led to more problems. Caiden really likes anyone that would big him a hello, and once you show him you like him, he’ll become a better friend than he already is. He has some problems, but he doesn’t like to bring that into conversation, so he’s usually happy and hopefully he’ll make you smile.
Caiden is a very caring type of person. He doesn’t think that nobody deserves to be upset, especially over stupid reasons, so when someone is upset first he’ll ask why they are upset, and then he’ll find a way to make them smile. He likes to help people feel good about them, because he doesn’t like when people feel like they’re horrible in every shape or form. Caiden will actually sit down and pay attention to the problems someone has, and tries his best to give his own opinion on what is right and what is wrong. He’s actually very bad at giving advice, because he can’t even believe himself about what he has to say to that someone. Caiden has a very big heart, and he likes to take care of everything that someone might have a problem in. He might not want to open up and tell you his own problems right away, because he is a very private person but if you ask he can talk for just a second he’ll spring into action and ask what’s wrong. He is a very loyal and trustworthy friend.
As well as being shy and caring he is also a very happy fellow. With all the bad in his life, Caiden likes to look at the cup half full at times that are desperately needed for it. He likes to make people around him smile and laugh, just so he can get happier, because everyone is happy around him. He doesn’t like to show the emotion of sadness, so he pulls a smile through anytime that is given. He makes people feel good, and he turns into a big goof ball when that happens. When you get past his shy shell and his awkward way of greeting someone you’ll see that he actually does act like a human being. He’s the kid who comes up to you every morning and says good morning, even if you’ve talked to him once. He’s the kid who won’t talk to you if you don’t want him to, but when you want to talk to him he’ll give you a nice smile and pat the seat he’s sitting on and he’ll share it with you. He likes to get close with his friends, because he likes to make them feel like they’re really going to have a nice conversation with him, which probably happen. He always giggles and tells you jokes, and makes you smile because of how much of an idiot he’s acting, and when you get outside he’ll hook arms with you and swing you around and skip till you can’t anymore. You don’t expect it from Caiden, but it happens, no matter what he’ll make you smile.
Caiden is an awfully upset kid deep down behind his happy exterior. He’s always bringing himself down, because he knows that people are going to do it to him when he’s older, and he hates thinking of someone beating him up because of something like that. He isn’t a confident person and he doesn’t believe he’ll get anywhere in life because he can’t talk normally, or he can’t put a smile on your face. He gets awfully uncomfortable and feels sick to his stomach once he is with people he doesn’t know, if it’s over the Internet it’s fine he doesn’t care. If it’s in real life he doesn’t want to make the wrong impression and you’ll want to kill him the next time you come around and you see him somewhere. Caiden likes to stay home and do his homework a lot, or he’ll go outside with someone he knows very well, but he won’t ever been seen with someone he hasn’t meet at least three times in a big group of people. It just makes him sick to his stomach and nervous and he sometimes throws up because he gets so nervous. He goes to shows, and he likes shows because he’s usually around the bands he likes and he stays in the very back where there is a bunch of people who won’t talk to him, but listen to the music. Local shows are his escape sometimes, and if he brings a girlfriend or a boyfriend with him they’ll cuddle in the back of the show.
Caiden is a very sensitive boy and he gets extremely hurt, and usually it’s because of something stupid. He doesn’t take being hurt quickly well and he doesn’t take it easily, and it takes him months and months to get over what happened. Since he usually doesn’t talk and he’s very shy when he’s upset he spends most of his time thinking about how much they hurt his feelings, and then he’ll feel like a big baby and try to toughen up but nothing will work. He doesn’t like to get into really serious relationships, because he knows that when they break up with him he won’t ever get over it, and he’ll just be a sad little kid who’s probably going to kill himself. He never ever wants that to happen, especially to someone close to him.
Also, being very sensitive and sad Caiden is also a very angry man as well. He is set off quite easily, but he always has to hide it because he doesn’t want anyone to know him as the angry boy who has nothing better to, but be angry. Everything sometimes and somehow will set him off, it’s just that everything that has happened in his life never made him angry until he left home. It’s like that saying, ‘you never know whart you have till it’s gone.’ Well Caiden never knew he had been so angry until he left the place that has made him so ballistic. He takes pills for the problems he has, and for anger he has one of those stress ball, and he’s probably had five more, but who’s counting? He hates to be angry, and when he is, he usually hides it because he doesn’t want people to back away from him and give him space, but sometimes he just really needs that space to help him sort out his problems.

the love life ,
Caiden has been in quite a few relationships in his life, well not many. He was in two that affected his life the most, but he has had numerous one-night stands. His first serious relationship was with Tallon Landon when they were fifteen years old, and it was a secret relationship. Tallon was cheating on his then girlfriend Lacey Hart with Caiden. Tallon loved Caiden more, and they had a very sexual relationship, which ended after a year. Tallon was afraid that Lacey was finding out, and Caiden had to go home to sort some problems out.
Caiden found the love of his life when he came back to school, and since the school advised that he get a tour of the school, Auburn Locke was the one showing him around. It was both awkward in the beginning, but after the friendship was good and stable Caiden began having feelings for Auburn. A few months later they both met at a park where Caiden gave him a flower and ask him to be his forever. They broke up after Caiden told him that he cheated on him with Tallon. Both were still in love with one another, and after Auburn tried to commit suicide and Caiden showed up they both got together. They’re still together and still in love.
& the good and the bad, Caiden Moore was never the boy he turned out to be that he was today. His parents were teenaged sweethearts, and fully in love and so much in love that they married right after they finished college. Now, every couple had their own problems, well about during the first year of marriage Harlon and Drella found out about cocaine. With all the pressure of a young couple, the only escape they did have, was cocaine. When they weren’t shooting up or snorting, they were actually a very romantic and dedicated couple. They always stayed in their hippie inspired apartment room, and just stayed with each other like nothing was wrong, but something was. One night with the influence of cocaine, they had actually had intercourse, now this was pretty much the first time they had done it, because they were too much drowned into cocaine to really get into each other. Only thing was that Harlon had actually gotten Drella pregnant. They didn’t bother quitting their cocaine addiction, and were turning their little unborn baby into a crack addict, not like they cared. Drella and Harlon didn’t even try to care for the child they were carrying, they didn’t eat healthy, she smoked occasionally, drank occasionally, and did cocaine every night for nine months.
Drella seemed to have forgotten the fact that she was actually pregnant, but once she sorted out four line of coke for Harlon and her, there was an outbreak of water and then she began getting contractions. Harlon and Drella rushed to the hospital, and Harlon asked what was going on with his wife, and the doctors answered simple that they were having a child. Harlon nearly passed out as this was said, and Drella was rushed to a delivery room and had to go through two days of labor before Caiden was pushed out of the womb. Caiden had to be rushed to be fixed up, his lungs weren’t fully developed, he was a cocaine addict, he had a very slim chance of living. Luckily by some miracle, Caiden had survived through his three- month stay at the hospital, with his lungs developing and them weaning him off cocaine, and gaining a few pounds he grew into a healthy infant. His parents never came to see him through his treatment, and when he was finished and ready to go home, there was no one to pick him up. He was sent to the nearest orphanage possible.
Caiden always grew up believing that the orphanage he was living in, was his family. He didn’t know he was a crack baby, and his parents never wanted him. He never cried at night, and wondered what made him such a horrible being that his parents just tossed him away. It never bothered him, because he was too small to know any better. When he was about six or seven years old, a couple at a young age of only in their twenties, but wanting another child. Stephanie and Marcus were a kind-hearted couple, two school teachers, who just wanted to have another child, but they had both found out they couldn’t have another after Natasha, their first child. The only choice was to adopt, and once they stepped into the orphanage their eyes laid on Caiden. He was playing with one of the toy trucks in the corner, by himself, and they both went to the head of the orphanage and asked if they could adopt him.
After a about a week or so, Caiden was safely inside the Moore household, living like life was the greatest thing ever. He had his own bed, had his own family, had toys that he could play with, and a sister that adored him. Caiden was enrolled into school right away, and since the school year had just started he was aquatinted with many students, and he had skipped kindergarten and went straight into first grade. He enjoyed school a lot, because it was new to him. He was used to waking up and just playing around because he was too young to go into any classes yet, and he was happy to be in a crowded place. He liked to interact with people, but he sometimes got into trouble with talking too much, and then he would be quiet until he was allowed to speak again. He also did well on his subjects and was one of the best readers and speller in his grade. While he was growing up, Caiden had changed completely. He was more and more shy, and he couldn’t speak to someone when he met their eyes unless he knew them for more than three days.
Middle school was the biggest killer on Caiden’s emotions. His parents pressured him to grow faith in God, but Caiden never could really believe in God, but he never could believe in God, if he didn’t meet him properly. When he was about twelve years old, Caiden was sat down and told he was adopted, he cried at first because he didn’t know why his parents had been lying at him in the first place. The stress kept being piled on, because after that Caiden was getting more and more symptoms of what would soon become Leukemia, he had to miss much of his sixth and seventh grade year because he was getting treatments to get rid of it, and still has to go to treatments as well. Caiden grew very close to his sister and he was completely devastated when she killed herself. Natasha was only eighteen when she decided to take her life by taking down too many sleeping pills, and she died in her sleep because of an over dose. Caiden took it the worse out of his whole entirely family; he took full blame because the sleeping pills were actually his. Caiden had troubles falling asleep at night with all the pain he had to endure, so he was prescribed sleeping pills to ease him to sleep, and he forgot to keep them out of the reach of anyone, so no one could do anything bad with them. Of course Caiden had to screw up and let his depressed sister take them and chugged them down like candy.
Caiden began losing his taste and more and more frequently his taste just wasn’t there when he consumed the food he did. He stopped eating completely, and he was just fine not eating, but his teacher’s at school were concerned that he was getting all the food he wanted, he just said it was because of his sickness that he had, and he would leave and go to his next class. Also, ever since Natasha had chugged down those sleeping pills, Caiden barely slept anymore. It would just haunt his thoughts seeing his sister he loved so much dead in her bed and hearing his mother sob at the sorrow and lost that rang through her chest. It was all too much for him, so he would just write in a journal about all the thoughts he had, and cut out pictures and everything that caught his interest and put it in that journal. He still does do that, but with a new journal since the other one was full.
Caiden was soon sent to Blair Academy when he was a freshman, most do to his excel in his classes, primarily his math and literature courses. When he came to Blair he was most likely scared shitless because of how big the whole thing looked. Caiden still excelled in his classes, focusing mainly on his studies than on partying and such. Of course, during the middle of his first year he met some people and became friends with them and they showed him a new world. Caiden dabbled in drugs, and drinking, and he even got a tattoo when he was completely wasted, but he likes the tattoo, so it doesn’t really matter. Caiden is still staying at Blair Academy, and is still excelling in his high school classes.
During his highschool stay, Caiden was questioning his sexuality. He didn’t know if he completely gay, or straight, but he knew he was attracted to both genders. Caiden was shy when it came to love, and since he barely talked, he thought he would never get to be in a relationship, of course when he met Tallon Landon everything changed. Tallon was sex on wheels, he probably cheated on Lacey more than once, but what Lacey didn’t know was that Tallon and Caiden had their own secret relationship, but they could play of as incredibly good friends and no one suspected a thing. Tallon and Caiden were not just the romantic holding hands under the table kind of couple, but they were the have sex for more than three hour straight couple as well. Tallon and Caiden switched positions, who was on top didn’t matter it was just the fact that they were getting each other off was what mattered. Tallon was the first person Caiden really did love, besides his family, but Tallon broke his heart when he told him that they couldn’t do this anymore, that it wasn’t right. Caiden took heartbreak too seriously, and he just didn’t talk anymore, and it took him a couple of months to get over Tallon, and they lost contact after a while because of the multitude of Caiden’s hurt, but no matter what Tallon was his first love.

halle
i hope you never forget the tapping at your window.[/size]
with the harsh cold and the jealousy running through my bones.[/size]
we were both selfish, but i think i was more.[/font][/color][/font][/size]
------[/size][/center][/b]
[/b]ilo and Halle had a bit of a history together, well three years of history, to be exact. Halle had been traveling across the country with her friends, following bands and the newest tour that had been launched. Halle never expected to fall in love on the way there, but then again unexpected things happened at the worst times. Halle had never expected to find Milo Hurley performing in the opening act, but it’s not like she knew him, because she didn’t. He was just another guy who could play the bass very well, and had many tattoos and a very attractive smile. Halle was captivated at the beginning, when he began jumping up and down wildly and pouring his heart into the task at hand, and that’s what drew Halle in the most. She loved musicians that could pour their heart into their music, and were so consumed into it they didn’t realize the world around them. When Halle caught the eye of a certain black haired and tattoo covered male, he gave her a warm smile and a wink, and she returned a shy smile, her grey eyes down casted, her black hair framing most of her face.Halle turned her chair around after watching the computer shut itself off, and signing herself offline. She looked down at the carpeted floor for a minute, just thinking about what the hell just happened. It wasn’t unusual for Milo and Halle to bicker and fight, but this seemed like a fight that could be one that sticks out in her mind. She played with her hands for a bit, and sighed, her brown bangs flying up for a second before falling back in front of her face. After a few more seconds of just sitting down and thinking over what has just happened, Halle stood up and headed to the closet, and quickly changed out of her clothes into a new outfit.
M
After the show, Halle was outside in the back of the venue, smoking a soothing cigarette. She didn’t realize that Milo was right next to her, until she turned around and almost smacked her face right into his. She stopped herself quickly, and regained her composure and gave him a warm smile as she saw that contagious smile on his lips. They began talking, mostly about awkward things at first, until it became easy for them, and they both knew that they connected. Halle had to be the first one to say goodbye, of course, because she had to go to the car again and begin driving to the next destination. Milo wrote down his number for her, and she gave him hers, and she didn’t even realize that she was smiling the whole time she was doing it either. The next morning, she received a call from a certain male and then everything started. They started to friendly date, seeing as Milo knew about her fear for commitment, and they both settled on being friends with benefits. Of course, two months later the two were seen together almost constantly, and they could both claim that they were more than friendly dating. After the tour, Halle decided that she was done with school, and she quit it, of course Milo disapproved, but she needed to do it. Halle then moved in with Milo, and the cheating began.
Halle was a pussy when it came down to commitment, and being only twenty, they should’ve both known that she would screw it up. She would constantly do it, but, for some reason, Milo and Halle would always become a couple again. They knew they were both meant for each other, but it was harder to actually admit it when Halle was screwing everyone but Milo. The last time Halle had cheated on Milo, he actually walked in on her fucking someone else, and the consequences were horrid. Halle was woken up to a call from Milo’s frantic mother about her son being placed into a hospital, and Halle rushed over to the hospital to find out that Milo over dosed on his meds, which crushed Halle. She then swore that she would be completely commited to Milo, which was harder than it could be.
Trust was something both of the young adults had a big problem with. Halle had a hard time convincing her boyfriend that she was completely commited, and the fact that she would go and cheat after she told her boyfriend that she would always be there for him would effect the two in some way. This time though, Halle was being completely honest when she said she would cut down on the drugs and completely kick the cheating out of the door. She discussed this with Milo, and this was one of the reasons why she was currently locking her door in her shitty apartment and going to her car.
She opened her car door, and quickly got in, tossing her small handbag in the passenger bag and slamming the black door shut. Quickly, she placed the small silver key into the ignition, and turned it on, quickly backing out of the parking lot. She turned down the loud music, her boyfriend’s band mate soothing voice reaching her ears as her tensed posture relaxed a bit. She quickly tapped her black painted nails on the steering wheel as she drove down the road, her head bobbing to the song Bang The Doldrums she quickly mouthed the words her boyfriend sang, as she quickly turned into the area where Milo lived.
S[/b]he parked the car in front of Milo’s house and leaned over picking up the small handbag, and opened it, making sure she had the key. Once she was sure she had the key, she quickly cut off the ignition, and slung the bag, the bag hanging loosely on her arm. Halle stood outside the car, closing it with a soft slam, and walked around the car, her black converse lightly tapping on the ground. Almost near the door, Halle fumbled around her purse for the key, and once finding it, she fumbled the little silver thing in her long pale fingers, the cool metal soothing her burning skin. Once she was near the door, she pushed the key into the lock, and twisted it, opening the door with a slightly shove. She took off her converse shoes, placing them right next to the door. She realized the lights were off, and looked for the switch, fumbling to flick the tiny light on, and once she finally achieved turning the lights on in the hallway; she began walking.
Placing the handbag on a nearby couch, she headed upstairs. Placing her pale hand on the light brown banister, she quickly ran up the stairs, the toes of her socked covered feet only touching the stairs. As she landed on the floor of the new floor, she quickly took a left turn and looked at all the doors, guessing which one could be Milo’s. Halle placed her hands on her slender hips, and looked up, biting at her light pink lip. She slipped her pale hands from her hips to her sides, and placed one on the cool silver doorknob, and opened slightly. “Milo?” She called out in a whisper as she opened the door further, her eyes adjusting and resting on a figure in the bed. Smiling, she turned the lights on, dimming them slightly. She walked over to the bed, and settled on the side where Milo was resting. Sitting up she looked at the figure below her, and how relaxed he looked, and she couldn’t understand why she would hurt an innocent figure like him. Placing her left hand on Milo’s side, she rubbed the side soothingly, sometimes shooting a glance at Marely as well. She leaned down and kissed Milo’s lips softly, and even when they weren’t responsive they still made her heart skip a beat, as cheesy as it did sound. “Milo, wake up.” She whispered, her hand running up and down his side soothingly.
