Jade giggles then said "No, my mother is not coming home tonight and my dad is hanging out with his friends. So were here alone in this mansion" she shifted her weight from side to side "I don't really have any clue what we should do so until you think of something were going to be stuck here doing nothing" Said Jade then she took a sip of her soda.

Taylor laughed and took another sip of his soda. He set it down on the counter leaning his forearm on the counter. "Well, I don't really go over to anyone's house. Ever."

Jade was surprised by that answer. She went to her friends houses all the time "Well... why not?" asked Jade a but mysteriously. Yeah he's a guy, so what? Were still teenagers we need our fun. She thought what it would be like to not go to her friends house... pure torture she told her self pure torture....

Taylor noticed her reaction and looked at her and shrugged. "I don't really have many friends or any at all. I have too much going on normally. I mean I know people. I just don't associate myself too much."

"oh... i'm sorry to hear that" she said quietly. How could he not have many friends. I mean like hello he is somewhat on the handsome side. He is tall, athletic, has an outgoing personality like what else could you ask for in a friend? Anyway Jade didn't want to hurt Taylor's feeling so she just shrugged it off like it wasn't such a big thing the moment she did she regretted it. She wanted to help Taylor but didn't know how. Therapy definitely wasn't her strong suit. So instead she put this in an other way "So what do you normally do at home?" She asked him hoping that it leaded to a more positive result.

Taylor looked away from her moment. Was it really that unnatural not to have many friends? He thought a moment on her question. "Well... I write." He scoffed and continued, "Normally with my little sister or mother or writing. Yea, I'm kinda boring."

When he looked away she felt guilt twisting inside her stomach, She did not plan on hurting him. What could she do though should she go for it or no. She thought for a moment then decided not to. "Your not boring, writing is very powerful and it can come to AMAZING results." she insisted.

Taylor smirked and blinked, glancing at the ground a moment, then dropping his gaze on her. "So, what about you?"

What about me... Did he really want to know she didn't want to hurt his feelings and tell him she was the most popular girl in school and that she spent most of her time and friends houses or parties. Her parents were around often so when they were she hung out with them before getting a phone call from her friend inviting her over or to a party. But surprisingly she doesn't have a boy friend but she doesn't really care about many boys since she never really felt like she belonged to a boy. But things changed the instant she met Taylor. Was it because she grew up with him and that she knew so much about him? or was it because he knew about her and she felt safe with him. Probably a combination of both. Anyway "well... I do spend a lot of time with my friends and family. I paint, often it's abstract painting or portrait... Maybe one day I could paint one of you" She said as her eyes light up.

Taylor cocked his head smiling at Jade. "Paint? That's amazing. That'd be cool I guess." He thought of a portrait of himself. He didn't feel so important that he deserved a portrait or painting of himself.

She thought for a moment then said "why don't I paint a portrait of you? since right now we have nothing to do" She saw his eyes light up and he started talking. She listened carefully to Taylor as he talked and talked and talked.

Taylor was surprised at her offer and stood up straight. "Well I honestly don't think I'd need one. I always wondered if the victors ever had portraits you know? Then again those Capitols would be too lazy to sit around painting someone from a district." He thought of that creepy lady at the ice cream parlor, then shook the thought and continued to follow Jade.
"I don't know. Doesn't matter to me anyway. I wouldn't think someone like me should get a portrait. But I also thought of writing as painting sometimes... painting the scenes with words rather than strokes and colors. It fascinates me." He thought a moment before continuing, "Well I guess it wouldn't matter. But do you get what I mean?" She nodded as he spoke again. "I write about things I've experienced and sometimes about my dad. He died in a mining accident. I didn't know him really and," he chuckled a little, "I even wear his things now. But I make up how he must have been." Taylor had always found that he's never had a father-figure ever. He ran a hand through his hair.
"Melanie's dad, never knew him either. I don't think he was much anyway. He never came back with my mother." He shook his head, "So basically... I'm the man of the house as my mom always says. I had to grow up fast, kind of explains this I guess. I don't mind now." He noticed he'd been talking quite a bit when he sees Jade looking at him. "Sorry," he laughed a bit, "your easy to talk to." He smiled at her.

She listen to all his story, it was very fascinating. She laughed then said "Yeah... it tends to be easy to talk to me." "Well if your the man of the house you deserve a portrait of yourself then maybe you could try to paint with words if you wanted to." she said "Follow me" Jade motioned Taylor into another room. This room was where she normally painted.

Taylor followed Jade to a room filled with paints and paintings. He still felt bad for talking so much and almost regretted it. He smiled looking at Jade as she explained.

There was this guilty look in Taylor's face but Jade didn't know why. She set up her canvas and paint then motioned Taylor to sit on the stool. Once she was finished painting him she backed up to look at it. She was shocked, this was probable her best portrait ever!! Taylor stood up and came to look at it as well.
