Old Memories Fade and are Replaced by New (res)

[Mercedes Kearney]

Sadie had decided to go for a run in the park before heading over to the stable for the day. She parked her red Mustang in the parking lot and got out of the car. She sat on the damp grass and began to stretch her legs out. She was wearning a white tank top, pink booty shorts and running shoes. Sadie loved to run it let her relax and lately she had been pretty stressed.

Sadie stood up and went to her car and lit up a ciagrette. It would probaly look pretty stupid from someone elses point of view because she was about to run, but Sadie had been smoking for years and she needed it before she ran. She finished up her cigarette turned her ipod on and began to run on the path

[Ron Spence]

Ron needed some time alone, or at least he felt like he needed some time alone from all his friends, who he seemed to have blowing off one after another, saying things he strongly regreats and then walking away realizing what a moron he's acting like but then doing nothing about it but sulking. He didn't know what to do here though. He was confused in more way then one and the more he saw friends the more he seemed to be screwing everyone over so he went to the park to spend time on his own.

Going to the park he went to one bench not expecting to see anybody he knew. He really misunderestimated the power of how many people he knew, expecially because of things like basketball and football. Something was bound to cross his path while at the park and see him on the bench with his head folded into his lap and his arms ducking like he was dodging shratnell or something odd. He been like that for a good while now, barley making a movement.

[Mercedes Kearney]

Sadie had been running for a while now and had decided that now would be a good time to take a ciagrette/water break. She approached a bench and saw a person that one would perceve as homeless because of his positon. She stopped sat down on the opposite side of the bench, took out a ciagrette and lit it. She then slowly took small sips a water. Sadie look over at the man and said softly "are you ok there?" and then waited for them to reply. She did have a softer side at times, but it was a rare occasion. She took another drag of her ciagrette and looked up at the sky to watch the clouds

[Ron Spence]

As soon as he reconized the voice he perked his head up to looked at Mercedes. "Mercedes? That you?" Looking at her in the eyes it wasn't hard to read his facial expression. One side of his face had a small bit of tear drop from it but he quickly wiped that off. It was things that came from his sulking and he didn't want to show that he was that weak, expecially at this point in his life. "What are you doing here?" It was a stupid question to ask considering what she did quite often and how she was wearing running equipment but Ron never caught onto thigns like that easily at all.

[Mercedes Kearney]

Once she heard him speak, she turned her head quickly just in time to see him wipe the tear off his face. A small smile appeared on her face and she gave her friend a hug. Sadie took another drag of her cigarette and looked at him. "Well, im in Drakesville because mum is pregnant and cant teach me so im working with Daniel again and im in the park because, I needed to run, i need a firm but to ride." She smirked and then looked at him again, reached over and dried his face off gently with her finger. "now tell me, why are you out here in the middle of no where looking pretty much homeless"

[Ron Spence]

"Well I heard you were comming back the city, we talked about that, I was planning to meet up with you." That was for some time now and he thought about it to but he just never got around to talk to her about it. "But I guess it's good we can meet now instead." He put on a bit of a true smile but then quickly dropped to a frown again shortly after. "Well my parents kicked me out of the house so I guess I kinda am a bum right now. But that's not the reason I'm here. I'm just having a bad month that's all." It wasn't a bad day or week, he flat out said bad month there. "Wanted some time to think on my own a guess." Then seeing the cigarette he raised and eyebrow. "Your running but smoking at the same time? Isn't that kinda contraditing?"

[Mercedes Kearney]

Sadie smiled softly. "yeah im a little hurt you never called me bck, but I figured you were busy." She took another sip of her water and looked at him with caring eyes. "you know your room is always open at the house if you need somewhere to stay." Sadie had lived alone in her parents large house in Drakesville since she was 14 and whenever Ron was kicked out or upset he would stay in what was now called "Ron's Room" Sadie nodded. "yeah well I didnt think i would be able to run another step without a cigarette, and look what happended, I found you on a bench" Sadie smiled at him.

[Ron Spence]

"Thanks." He smiled at that though and the thought of a few other of his friends offering a place themselves, he knew he was lucky to have so many good friends that way. "It's crazy how these turnouts happen eh?" He then stood up and took a good look at Mercedes, not one that was in the wrong way, just a way to see how she was growing up. "It's good to see you." He himself grew up a lot since they last met to. In preticular he got muscular and heavy built, something he always complained about when he was younger and how he was never big enough. Well he finally got what he wanted in that department. "We've grown so much since we last saw each other."

[Mercedes Kearney]

Sadie smiled softly. She really had missed Ron we was probably the only person he missed in Drakeville and she wasnt too excited about seeing Jackson again. The bloody prick. "I missed you Ron, you know that, but its good to see you too." Sadie put out her cigarette and stood up as well. "My Ron, you sure have gotten more muscular, your not the scrawny white boy I used to know and love." Sadie streched her arms and back and looked back at him.

[Ron Spence]

"What do you mean the one you use to love? Haha. You don't love me anymore? Besides.. I was never scrawny.. just underdeveluped at the time." He was a pretty scrawny and the talent he had in sports there came from inside him. The talent still is clearly there but improving on his size like he is here always helped to. "But it's good to see you to. Hey you should see me play basketball now! They named my captain and I'm their top player and everything. Are you gonna go to their next game and see me?" He always loved having his friends come and cheer him on, it always made him just that much better at the game to.

[Mercedes Kearney]

Sadie smirked. "I suppose I still love you Ron, and yes you were scrawny and you know it." She loved to tease him, and she knew that he knew it was out of love for him. Sadie began to walk and signaled for him to come with her. "Really?" She used to beat his ass at basketball and she was pretty sure it was because she was better and not because he let her win one on one. "Of course I will come to a game sometime, I will make a sign or something school spiritish." Sadie wasnt one to do anything for the school but it was for Ron so she made an acception.

[Ron Spence]

"Get the biggest sign there!" Not that many people came with signs and he never really had people come with signs for him either so that would make him feel pretty special there. "Make sure you spell my name right to, that would be pretty embaressing if you didn't." How somebody would spell R O N wrong is up in the air and confusing to think about, but it was Ron, nobody said Ron was the smart guy.

"Wanna keep running? I'll run with you." If she smoked she probibly couldn't outrun him but with somebody like Mercedes there was no saying anything yet.

[Mercedes Kearney]

Sadie smirked. "If thats what would make you happy in life, I will make you one kick ass sign. Dont you haev a girlfriend that would do it for you though?" She teased him. Sadie had helped Ron through the good and the bad and he had done the same for her since the day they had met.

She glanced at him and smirked. "As long as you can keep up with me, I dont mind you running with me. You always forget im an athlete as horseback riding is a sport expecially at the level im at." She turned to face him then ran off.

[Ron Spence]

He first frowned and then shrugged but poorly, trying to shrug off any idea of a girlfriend at the moment. "I did, but I just broke up with her. These past few months I seem to be really good at getting into good short time relationships and fuckin' it all up. Some hidden talent I have or something. And when I look back at it all I notice that it's all my fault."

Running with her and her speed he wasn't about to give up. "Don't forget I do this every day... train for everything." If it wasn't basketball it was football, or hockey, or running, or helping train another. Plus he didn't smoke anything at all which helped him become just that much more fit.

[Mercedes Kearney]

Sadie picked up her pace, staying not to far in front of Ron for now so she could talk to him. Might as well distract him, she thought to herself, she could play dirty. Sadie rolled her shorts up a little more, really showing her butt off and smirked. "eh well you know me. Im the pickest girl in the world. You of all people know that all I need is someone who loves me as much as I do them" Sadie had relationship trouble to say the least and had only truly loved two guys in her entire life. One from Drakesville and the other from CT.

Sadie may of been a smoker, but she could run, plus she had long legs and could easily out run Ron.
