Race knew he looked terrible, he had a five o'clock shadow that was turning into a six o'clock,if there was such a thing, he had black circles under his eyes from the bout of insomnia he'd developed because of stressing too much, his shirt had seen better days and his hair was resorted to a basic grease slick. He didn't say anything,he just peered through the neck of the beer bottle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max smirked,hearing Cailin, "Dat what ya tink 'a me?" he teased,grinning at her.

Blink stared down at the table, feeling a little ashamed at himself for saying that, but knowing it had to have been done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cailin squeezed Max's hand, muttering some more. "Mhmm."

"That's why I nevah went home," Race said quietly, "I couldn't let BJ see me loik dis, or da kids." he set the bottle down,staring at the amber glass, not sure what to say,or do, " I know I need tah get it tagetha, but da more I try, da harder it gets," he thumped the bottle and watched it fall over, the beer pouring down the side of the table into the floor like a waterfall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh really?" Max said,grinning,he was still playing with her hair.

Blink smirked. "You could start with a shower and a shave." he said, speaking on impulse again and inwardly kicking himself for it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yeah," Cailin said grinning in her sleep.

Race laughed a little, "Yeah, I guess I could start dere," he said, "But I ain' showin' mah face ta BJ until I get cleaned up, hell she wouldn't even lemme in da house if I showed up like dis ,I look like a street bum." he had been a street bum for three days now though, sleeping in the back alley behind the bar had killed his back, but he'd had passed out behind the garbage cans before it had even phased him he was in an alleyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max laughed,grinning,leaning back again and yawning.

"You can come ta my place." Blink said. "I got some clean clothes you can wear until ya get home."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The cool night wind shook the trees behind the house, making Cailin shiver and huddle closer to Max.

Max sighed,picking her up, "Lets get ya inside afore we slide off ya roof or get blown off." he said, edging towards her balcony. He lifted her up onto it then stepped onto it himself, picking her up again and taking her inside. He laid her on the bed, pulling the covers up around her ,then got out of his shoes and jacket and got in next to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Race nodded, "Thanks Blink, "he said, "Not alot 'a people would do dat ya know?" he laughed a little ,still feeling a slight buzz from the beer. He needed to get his wits together.

Cailin opened her eyes, rolling over and picking up the remote to turn the tv off. She put it back on the table and turned over on her side to face Max. "Night baby."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blink gave Race a goofy grin. "Hey, what're friends for?"

"Night" Max said,kissing her on the forehead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Race laughed, "yeah," he nodded,attempting to get up off the chair but toppled over backwards.

Cailin closed her eyes and dozed off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blink helped Race out to his car and drove them to his house. "You can just crash here tonight, Race."

Max's head hit the pillow and he was out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Thanks," Race said, collapsing on the couch,glad it wasn't an alleyway, "I owe ya one."

Cheeks walked in and made himself comfortable beside the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Nah, ya don't," Blink said. "Ya crazy bum." He smirked and flopped down in the recliner tossing a blanket to Race and keeping one for himself. "Night buddy."
((next day?))

((sure,I'll start?))
Race woke up hungover, he burrowed down under the blanket more as the sunlight filtered through Blink's blinds, he moaned,his head was pounding and his own body odor was getting to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max was still asleep,dead to the world, he'd been tired enough as it was.

Blink was up cooking breakfast...toaster waffles and BLT's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cheeks climbed up on the bed between Max and Cailin, panting in Cailin's face. She mumbled unconsciously and made to push him away, but ended up in the floor, tangled in a mass of sheets and limbs.

It hadn't phased Max, he was still asleep, on the verge of snoring.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Race felt something kick in in his stomach and he literally ran to Blinks bathroom,tossing his cookies into the toilet, "Da hell I eat yestahday..." he said,flushing it.
