we are young, open

[VICTORIA HOPE JEAN]

it had been a long, long school day for the young victoria hope jean. she loved school, don't get me wrong, but there were just some days when the day went by so slowly, it was nearly agonizing! as soon as her last class ended, she packed up her things as quickly as she could. she practically ran to her locker, and it took her a moment to get it open, because she kept putting in the wrong combination. finally, when she got it open, she threw her books into it, and pulled out a duffle bag that held her running clothes. this is what she did, every other day, after school. she would run around the track. she went into the changing room and quickly changed out of her school clothes, and into the clothes that she brought to go running in.

walking out onto the field, it was still hot, which was confusing weather, but it didn't matter to her. it was california! she was used to the hot weather. so, she took a sip of her water and placing her things down on a bench, before putting in her earbuds and turned on her music on her iphone. when she found a song that got her in the mood to run, she took a breath and took off at a moderate pace, then she gracefully started to spend up into a pace she could handle over time. she enjoyed the feeling of running; the wind in her hair, and seeing how much she could pus herself. it was fun, it kept her in shape, and in good health. it was probably one of the best things that she did, besides her music.. nothing could beat her music. she kept running, with no break, for about five laps around the field, until she stopped when she reached her things. she shook out her hands a little and jumped on the balls of her bit, calming down a little. she then picked up her water bottle and took a sip of her drink.

she loved this time of day, and her brown eyes looked around the field for a bit. she wondered how many people did what she did everyday. it wasn't often that she was running with someone on the track, she found herself alone most of the time. which she enjoyed, but there were times that she wished she had someone to run with.. not that she ever asked anyone to run with her. shaking the thoughts from her mind, she took another sip of her drink, before placing it back on the bench. she then started off on another lap, her brown hair, the strands that have fallen out of her pony tail moving back as the wind flew through her hair once more. gosh, she loved this feeling!

ah, how the day and weather was long and oh so confusing to the young man, because he was really having a sickness today! see the man, well he was really missing little landon today and it kind of put a damper on his mood. it was one of those days where he wanted to go home but he wanted to power through to become a powerful rolemodel. see the father like figure was non existend kind of by choice and coming of events and he didn't want to be like that with landon! the young man wanted to really work hard and then he could say he did it all! of course, zofia helped him with math and such and allowed him to be a teen as well, but he was doing well for himself and his little family. it was all part of the game plan and he couldn't help but be happy at the results it would get but he did miss his little guy! even though mister iverson, was well a pain in the ass he had a heart.

the last class of the day was gym, and well he always waited it out a bit so the halls weren't cramped! the boy did see hope though and well he brightened. that was landons babysitter! she was nice, but he didn't know her all that well yet! that needed to change. mister iverson, waited and then followed her out to the field and watched from the distance! manyy would call this creeping, but well he didn't see it that way! plus, they wouldn't take the time to get half the story anyway! it wasn't like he cared too much! he was doing fatherly like duties! the girl, liked to keep herself fit it seemed and he smiled, because that meant she was plenty active and enthusiastic with landon! she needed to be because zo had him speaking spanish and saxon had him crumping! it took a lot of energy to keep up with that little boy! though hope knew that by now and it was explained in the job surely! "five impressive" he said folding his arms over his chest and waited for the girl to go run again before he'd make a move. he wasn't going to just watch her! he'd talk to her when she was all sweaty and out of breathe and they'd have one hot interaction was his weird way of thinking about it! though, he wasn't about to chase the babysitter...she wasn't really like that in his mind she was someone he needed to get to know but he wasn't dying to have and hold in an affectionate manner.

soon enough she was off and about and he when she was on one side not paying attention to the other went and sat next to her crap. well not sat lay...all sexy like with his body spread out and his hand under his head and he was on his side. sure, he still missed landon but this was for landon so it was important! seven what was she going for like two miles? the tracks laps were well four and it was a mile! she had to be insane. saxon was dying just watching her. "heyy your killing me here i can't keep up anymore would you kindly stop running! chasing you got tiring and my...your making me dizzy!" he yelled at her just being smart, but wanting her attention! the boy was about to take a drink of her water...waterfalling it into his mouth just to prove a point!

[VICTORIA HOPE JEAN]

hope was one that liked to build up her endurance. she loved running, and each time she went running, she would try to beat what she did the last time. she had gotten to where she could do a few miles, which is saying something. someone who only knew her as the stereotypical jean: stubborn, lazy, outgoing.. they wouldn't think that she loved to go running. yeah, that's right! she actually enjoyed it and she enjoyed pushing herself! that's how she was able to do so many laps in one time. but of course, a girl grew tired and she had to take a break every once in a while. while still running, she heard a voice. she slowed down to just a jog so she could look over and see who was yelling at her. she let a small smile come to her lips when she recognized who it was. it was landon's dad! saxon!

when she wasn't at school, or volunteering at the hospital, the young latina spent her time babysitting a young boy. he was very smart for his age, speaking spanish and crumping. she loved those little moments when he would yell out 'random dancing!' and they would have to dance. she didn't expect anything less from the small boy, considering who his parents were. the young boy definitely kept her busy and on her feet, which she didn't mind at all. it helped pass time and she loved spending time with landon. she helped zo with teaching him spanish, since she grew up learning that language, and she loves to sing him to sleep.

now, hope didn't spend near as much time with saxon as she did with zofia, just because landon was with zofia more when hope was around. but this could be a good time to get to know the boy, she guessed. so she ran back over to her things, and to him, where he was laying down. she stood over him and crossed her arms over her chest, "you called?" she asked in an amused tone, raising her eyebrows at the older, tattooed boy. she picked up her water bottle and took a sip of the cool water, it tasting like heaven to her at the moment. soon after, she sat it back down next to her things. she didn't really know what to say to him, not to mention she was a little short of breath from her run, so she just looked down at him, with the amused look on her face.

people running on and on, well he couldn't imagine it was healthy. that was a lie of course it was healthy, and if she so please well she could run to her death, but he'd rather she didn't because it would one more put him in a tired effort of having to keep up with his vision! saxon derik iverson, well he was too lazy for the young woman to keep up with her health-nut-like antics. though he was amused to know she could run like she could it was a good thing for landon. someone that could keep up with the spawn of zaxon, well he pegged her already to be a sweetheart-nutjob all in one for adopting such a job! the reality of it though was he didn't really know shit about her! which was why the young man lead himself to stalking like tendecies.

exactly, well what young woman was with his son besides his best friend/baby mama. if and when saxon let someone end they would come to find why his mind set was so concerned. he completely respected and admired zofia's choices, but she was a sweetie none-the-less and well saxon...his views on people and children were skewed. his parents never wanted him and he was kind of pawned off on his nana, but she loved him! a sense of character was needed to put his mind at ease! it wasn't like he didn't trust her, but it was daddy's time to shine if you will! landon loved her, and he wanted to know why. it wasn't creepy right? plus he was striking a sexy pose! that made everything alright! right?

the young lady standing above him with her arms crossed and looking down at him kind of amused him. the first word or adjective that suited her before him was-spunky! yeah, he kind of admired her pizzaz, but he wasn't going to let her off lightly. this was playfully-serious. "and you came running" he winked. the pun lingered for a moment before she sat down and he decided to sit up. "in all seriousness there is a reason i stalked you to the track.." he said taking his game face off for a moment. "don't taked this with an ounce of disrespect hope, but i kind of wanted to spend time with you, because i wanted to see what you're like" he said and smiled. "i hope that doesn't raise a red flag of worry and cause you to be tense..i just thought you know i'm more important than running and it was long over due." he said and licked his dry lips once more. "so...what do you like to do for fun.i'd like to join you and i don't want a no..you're my boss thats weird.." he said and snickered. "it can be as wild as you want in fact the wilder the funner the better, because it really brings out the light in people" he said and shrugged. "just no drinking..i don't want that much truth" he was rattling on, but he was smart and had a point. "and no i won't run with you" he quipped quickly!

hope didn't think of herself as a health fanatic, just because she liked to run. because, let's be honest.. she's a teenage girl. she loved her junk food and laying around, doing absolutely nothing. not to mention, she was a jean. jeans were known for their laziness, but she somehow got motivation to start running a while back. her parents thought that it was a miracle! okay, that's an exaggeration, but still! they did think it was a little bit shocking to see her go out and run. even to this day, they tease her about how she managed to still run while being the laziest girl on earth. she took it all in good nature, of course, because she knew they were only messing with her when they did this. she could be productive when she wanted to be!

now, the young latina was able to ignore his 'sexy pose.' in fact, she kind of found it amusing that he was even striking the pose. it was like he was trying to mess with her mind, but that just wasn't possible with miss victoria hope jean! she rolled her eyes at his 'you came running' comment, before taking another sip of her drink and looking over at him with raised eyebrows. she knew that there was a reason for him being here.. because, he was her boss and they didn't know each other well. so she assumed something was up. immediately, she thought about the next time she had to babysit landon, and smiled a little. she loved babysitting that little boy. he kept things interesting.

when saxon started talking, well.. she wasn't expecting what he was saying. it surprised her, really. she knew that one day, he would get curious and see as to why zofia chose her to babysit her kid, and why landon liked her so much. she just didn't expect it to be at such a random moment. finally, she just nodded her head, "alright.." she said, slowly. then, she laughed a little and shook her head, "it would take a lot more than you wanting to get to know what i'm like to cause me to worry, saxon." when it came to talking about herself and what she did for fun, she hardly ever knew what to say, so.. she stayed silent for a minute. she wasn't wild, by any means. she played it safe a lot of the time, so he didn't have to worry about anything like that, "well.. i'm not really wild, to be honest. everything that i do is.. normal. so you don't have to worry about the drinking," she said, shrugging her shoulders, "i try to stay busy.. which landon does a good job of. if i'm not babysitting him, i'm at the hospital volunteering. i ride horses a lot, we have our own horses at my house," she smiled a little, thinking about her horse that was waiting on her at home, "music. that's a big part of my life. i play for landon a lot and sing to him.. and i run.. i dance..um.." she rubbed the back of her neck as she thought before she shrugged, "i don't know! i'm not good when it comes to talking about myself. i'm more of a 'in the moment' girl. if i see something that seems interesting, i do it." then, she couldn't help but let out a laugh, "you say that you'll join me in what i like to do for fun, then you say you won't run? come on now!" but, she wouldn't expect him to, they could easily do something different.

the young man could pry have ran if he would have tried, but after a full day of school, well he didn't feel like it! the boy wasn't a runner, but he could be. say if his son was running around the track well he'd pry do it, but excess working out unless he was in the mood wasn't really in the cards. zofia probably would have went and ran and would be yelling at him right now, but it wasn't like hope hadn't ran enough! if she would have kept going he was sure the heat would have up and melted her or something. mister iverson, well he was in good shape! hope was in decent shape as well, so he didn't see what the issue would be! he was allowed to be lazy and she came at his becking call anyways! it was kind of nice. zo would do it to though if he really needed it, but in this instance he could see his baby mama yelling at him and trying to beat him to a pulp!

the sexy pose was she part of his personality! he was toying with her mind, because he could and it was amusing. he snapped his fingers jokingly at her and shook his head. "girl, you got to control those eyes...they'll get stuck." he said and smirked. she wasn't his son, but yeah he told him that because he wanted him to not roll his eyes, like ever. especially at his mama or women. he chuckled a little realizing that. "its pry bad, but i tell that to landon, so he doesn't do it. not that i'm trying to father you hope, just instinct?" he sahd and shrugged. he smiled seeing as she wasn't worried that he wanted to get to know her. he was really rather a wild card! surely, zo had told her that...landon had zo's energy, but his as well. he was sure that it was overwhelming, but lando loved hope, so oddly with his baby mama and his son he had a love for hope as well! now he was putting forth some effort to sulitify it all!

listening was something he was good at! though it wouldn't seem like he would be all the good at it because he seemed more like a talker, but it put his mindat ease to hear the things that was coming out of her mouth. she wasn't trouble at all but he knew that much because his little boy would have mentioned trouble. sometimes high schoolers were good at deception though. he knew he was! he hid a lot of things. he nodded through everything and his interest was peeked at horses though he knew that zo would flip out. "i think that landon..well wait rewind..do you think that it would be alright if maybe someday we took a little family venture and maybe let lando pet or ride the horsey? my nana took me to see horses when i was little." he said and smiled. "i really liked them and i feel he will too" he was asking and he was sharing a bit of himself with her. "forgive me if this is personal, but boyfriend no boyfriend?" he asked kind of wanting to know. he wanted to see if there would be a chance there would be around his son or anything. it was a valid question. she called him on his shit. he groaned and got up holding out his hand "fine fuck it you want to run will run" he said setting his shit down and waiting. he'd prove his point that he was giving. he liked proving points. "no saying your tired now you challenged me...lets go" he said nodding toward the track.
