There was very little rain today. But god damn, it was fucking cold. Compared to Los Angeles, anyway. It wasn't like LA didn't have cold spells, their later winter and early spring months were a lot cooler and it was raining on and off too. Usually very light rain, although at the start of the year there was so much rain in Los Angeles that flooding occurred. Driving through it fucking sucked but the kids loved how water came up the sides of the car and Anna loved the fact that she got an excuse to buy new Wellington boots. It was the beginning of March, but the gloomy weather seemed to fit quite well for him. It was a year ago this month that his pregnant wife was killed in a car accident. He didn't know what to do with himself. He wasn't exactly prepared to handle an anniversary like this. So Joseph was just trying not to think about it, because it just made him upset. And he had been doing really well with coming to terms with his loss.

So it was good to get out of the state of California for a while. He would get to see friends, some of which he hadn't seen in a while. In too long! Joseph didn't make it into the 'big apple' often because his life was in LA. But there was an event going on in the city for animation, which including conferences, workshops, seminars and much more. It was for all types of people, from children, teenagers and their parents who were interested in animation to students who were looking to come into the business or recently graduated folk looking to network. As well as people from all over the animation career path and business. Joey was going with a colleague and friend of his, whom had been in the business a lot longer so Joey was more like his support on this trip - they were taking part in the event which was aimed at the youths and they were also there on behalf of their group to debut their short film. However, his work in this event didn't start until late tomorrow morning. So Joey grabbed his coat to head out of the hotel for a while.

He had a couple of friends living nearby, both of whom he actually knew from LA. In fact, they grew up around where he lived when he was younger. Though his family moved when he was thirteen, but only to Anaheim. He would come back to Huntington Beach every now and then. And by the time he was driving, Joey would take his younger brother Jacob to HB to hang out with his friends - which included Elias Walker and Jasper Slyvain. Joseph had called ahead to the lads, they knew he was coming into NY long before he got there. But he let them know that he might stop by, and asked if that was alright. Elias told him that he might not be around but Jasper probably would be. And that they would restock the fridge with beer for him. Joey didn't get many opportunities to have more than a few drinks because he had to stay sober enough to be responsible for his kiddos. Since his sister was taking care of the kids until he was back...well, let's just say he would probably make up for a little lost time at least once over the next few days.

A cigarette was held between his pierced and deliciously plump lips as he zipped up his jacket, walking towards the destination of Elias and Jasper's apartment. He had just got off the subway and only had a few blocks to walk. The broad and well built man looked tired. Because of the past year, Joey constantly looked tired, sometimes even when he didn't feel exhausted. He also looked older, like life had caught up with him. He was thirty, but he had always been so baby-faced. He started to ascend the stairs of the building before he found the floor he wanted and Joey knocked on the door, taking the cigarette from his lips and letting a stream of smoke pass between them seconds afterwards.

AND WHEN IT'S TOO MUCH TO BEAR,
you know your friends will be there.
SO HANG ON, HANG ON - - - *

" CLOUDS IN THE SKY AGAIN. " the twenty-five year old wasn't speaking to anyone in particular; probably just himself. sometimes he let words pass his lips that weren't really directed at anybody. his aunt's husband used to warn him about that. "try not to talk to yourself, jasper. people are going to think you're crazy." that definitely helped, 'xcept not really. people thought he was crazy anyway. but the simple acknowledgment about the weather remained in his head. the city had looked like shit for the past few days, in jasper's opinion. it reminded him or when he and elias first moved to new york city. all he did was complain about the weather. it was too cold. it was too windy. blah blah blah. if there was ever something to complain about, jasper sylvain was the first one on it. but as time went by, he started to get somewhat used to it. after all, he would have to be used to it. well, up until the point that he was finished working there.

jasper wasn't too sure what he'd be doing in the future. he never exactly had a plan when it came to these things. he just sort of went with whatever came his way. maybe that wasn't the way people were supposed to live their lives, but hell, it was working for him. he had moved up in the industry of film making and was already an assistant director. the next step was for him to become a full-blown director and direct his own movies. after all, he wasn't planning to be the assistant forever. he was going to get paid big dollars. yep, that was the goal. but besides that, he wasn't sure what he would do. in the back of his mind, he knew that moving back to california was a possibility. new york city was nice, but it just wasn't like the west coast. he didn't now if elias was down for that idea. maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. but they were best friends! they had to stick together, didn't they? the only reason why he even went to the east coast and went to film school was to stick with his buddy. but what about ten years from then? what about five? would they still be sticking together? they couldn't live together forever. jasper nearly cringed; this is why he didn't like thinking about the future. it involved too much thoughts and "but"s and "what if"s. he was happy with where he was at right now. the end.

the thoughts of the west coast, california, and friends allowed his mind to slip to the thought of another friend: joey murdoch. joey had called and said that he was coming to the city for a while. of course, that psyched up jasper and elias. they didn't see much of their other friends, for the fact that they were in the opposite end of the united states. it kind of sucked, being that their friendships had to rely on technology and shit like that. but the fact that people put effort in their long distance friendships and took it on themselves to travel all the way to new york for whatever reason and see them made jasper appreciate it a little bit more. he didn't have a million friends, like some of them had. sure, he wasn't the most liked person in town. either way, he still had some good friends that he appreciated. joey was one of those buds. jasper also knew that it had been a rough month for joey, since his wife's death occurred around the time. jasper knew better than to bring things like that up. some things were meant to stay private, and all of it had it's own time and place. the same went for jasper: people knew better than to bring his parents up. he hated it being discussed, and preferred to avoid it completely. as for his "temper problems", he didn't have to worry about that too much. elias was the only one that knew about it and he wouldn't let the cat out of the bag. he knew better. well, unless he wanted jasper to break his arm again.

but anyway, jasper was prepared for this visit. elias wasn’t around, but jasper would be there to greet his friend. the fridge was packed with all their lovely little delights ( otherwise known as beer ), just for the occasion. then again, they always had beer. jasper continued to look out of the window, his darkened eyes examining the sky. the glow in his eyes vanished along with his ex-girlfriend. the thought of her made him grumble beneath his breath. she was another topic that he didn’t like to talk or think about. his eyes traveled down from the sky and wandered down to the concrete, his eyes catching a glimpse of a familiar frame that he knew. jasper rose from his position at the window sill and walked to the door, just in time for that knock on the door. unlocking the door, a smile tugged at the corner of jasper’s lips at the sight of his friend. though it was the same, joey’s face almost seemed like it changed. jasper’s quick assumption was that the year had taken a toll on his friend, but it was completely understandable. rather than remarking on it, he smiled and said. " damn, joey, took you long enough! " he wrapped his tattooed arms around joey and hugged him. god knows that he needed it. releasing his hold on him, jasper stepped to the side to allow joey to come inside. " step on into La Casa De Elias and Jasper. "

Smoking. It was both his blessing and his curse. Stress made him smoke more heavily then usual but being a father and having a responsibility to not pollute your children's air made him a lighter smoker. Or at least, made him get off his ass and go outside to smoke. He hated his habit, he did want to give up because he knew it wasn't healthy but he would think to himself that at least smoking was his habit and not alcohol or drugs. He'd laugh in the face of anyone who suggested he quit after the year he had had. He had been stressed to the max for about seventy five percent of it, there was no way he was giving up smoking unless you were ready for him to become an cranky asshole. He had placed his cigarette back between his lips when the door began to get unlocked and it swung open - there stood Jasper Sylvain in all his glory. A smile spread across Joseph's lips, which carefully kept a tight hold of his cigarette until he reached up to take it back from his lips. "Man, shut up." he grinned.

He didn't mean that. They were all playful dudes, sometimes when Jasper and Elias got going at each other, it was hard to figure out if they were just playing or if they meant it! His smile meant that he was kidding around. "Just be glad I'm here at all. Very nearly got lost on that damn subway." he grumbled and moved in towards Jasper as the younger of the two came for a manly, brotherly 'no-homo' hug that friends did. Especially old friends, who hadn't seen each other in person for a while. Which kinda sucked. It wasn't like Joey had no friends, he had plenty but you always missed the ones you didn't have around you. It was a good thing, made you appreciate them more then you probably would have done if they were around you all the time. "And it's fucking cold." he added, as if Jasper didn't know. Depending on were you lived in California, it could be farking cold too. There were times that it was probably warmer in New York then it was back home, he just didn't notice it like he did here. It was a shock to his So-Cal system.

At least there was no snow. Not that he hated snow or anything, but he liked being able to choose to go to the snow and then leave it behind rather than just having to wait for it to fuck off. If you wanted snow back home, you went to find it in places like Lake Tahoe. Then you go back home the next day and you drive down to Huntington Beach for some sand, sun and sea! He had been to this apartment only once before and it was for about forty five minutes before Elias and Joey left to go out and he never saw it again. So as Japer invited him, he wandered through the doorway but stood close to the door in that typical "this is not my home, I shall just stand here until I'm told what to do with myself" way. Though he began to take off his coat just because it was bulky and it was much warmer in the building then it was out on the street. "Thanks." he replied, running his podgy fingers through his thick, dyed-black hair. If this was anyone else's home he would have asked if it was okay to smoke, in fact he probably wouldn't have brought his cigarette inside.

But Jasper was a smoker, I mean the guy had a cigarette brand name on his knuckles. That pretty much said you could smoke in this apartment, right? "You good?" he asked, as it had been a few days since he had smoke to either of the boys properly. He wondered what the guys were doing once the film was over, if they would come back to LA or stay here. Depended on their next job he supposed. He sure knew a little boy in California who was excited to at least get a visit from his uncle Eli when this shit was finished!

AND WHEN IT'S TOO MUCH TO BEAR,

SO HANG ON, HANG ON - - - *

JASPER WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT GREW UP FAST. it was almost like it was forced upon him, in a way. at least, that's how he used to feel. he had to grow up fast, or else he wouldn't have survived in the world. looking on the past was a pain, but a blessing at the same time. it toughened him up and prepared him for what was "the real world". nobody fucked with him; they knew better. sometimes, he found that it was miraculous how he even made it out of school. if it wasn't for the fact, that his aunt forced him to go and threatened him that if he didn't go to school, he would've been out wandering the streets. his aunt's love was the strongest that he'd experienced in his life. it was possibly the only love that he'd experienced. he didn't get the opportunity like other kids to experience the love of parents, since both of them were long dead. but hey, he wasn't going to complain about it. what sense was it to whine? it wasn't like it was going to change anything.

"Man, shut up." the remark made jasper smile. that was always how all of them played around. they could say the most hurtful shit, and if you didn't know better, you would've thought that they meant it. well, maybe that was just him and elias who constantly hurled insulted back and forth at eachother like it was a war of words. but regardless, it was all in good fun. most of the time, anyway. sometimes they literally wanted to rip out eachother's spinal cords. "Just be glad I'm here at all. Very nearly got lost on that damn subway." jasper scoffed, shaking his head as he laughed at his friend. " dude, it ain't that hard to follow the colors, " he teased. " then again, i can't blame you. the first time i took those motherfucking trains, i thought i was in fucking wonderland. " it was true. the first time he bothered to take the city trains, he was so confused that he had to probably asked 15 different people for directions, if he was on the right train, and to wake him up when he got to his stop. god, that was a pain. " cold? you have no fucking idea about cold until you've gone through a winter here. " it was absolutely true. they had crazy snowstorms this winter and he was stuck shoveling his car out of the hard-falling snow. it was horrible. those were the days that jasper stayed inside, cranked up the heat, grabbed a beer, and locked himself in his room with his guitar.

jasper grabbed joey's coat and put it in the closet, unlike hie normal mannerisms where he just threw his shit over the chair and picked it up when he was leaving. sometimes, his aunt stuck with him in his head. he could hear her telling him to hang his coat up and his guests's coat up in the closet. he used to bitch about it, but hey, i guess it was just a life lesson. he looked over at joey before remarking, " well, don't just stand there. our place is your place! " he opened his arms as if to show of some sort of majestical mansion. jasper moved over to the kitchen area, making his way to the fridge. he opened the fridge, shouting, " if you want a drink, speak now or forever hold your peace! " he didn't even have to wait for an answer, for he just grabbed two beers out of the fridge. he walked about to the other area, handing joey the beer before he gestured to the couch. it wasn’t polite to have a guest on their feet all the time; yet another life lesson he learned from his aunt. he really needed to erase all of that shit from his head. it was like the woman was brainwashing him, goddamnit. "You good?" jasper looked over at the older male as he sat himself down on the couch, nodding. " of course, man. when am i not good? " okay, so maybe that was a lie. the only time people knew when jasper wasn’t good was when he was getting into fights, and when he fought, he fought hard. he didn’t fight to injure or bruise; the man fought to demolish. it was even said that he stabbed one guy, but that was an entirely different story. " i’ve been holding up alright, i guess. work, eat, sleep, do it all over again. get into a fight if i feel like it, the whole nine yards. normal shit, you know? " he placed one arm behind his head, leaning back on it as he used the next one to crack open the beer . " what about you? it’s been a while, man! "

Subways made Joey feel uneasy. Maybe it was because it was mostly underground and that shit started to get claustrophobic. Especially after 9/11 and the attacks that happened in London on the transport systems. Imagine being stuck under there with a bomb. Fuck no. He much preferred travelling up top! Though in New York, the traffic was crazy. He'd get so pissed off if he was driving in it. He was given the order, so Joseph parked his ass on the boys' couch after Jasper took his coat. "Thanks." he responded. Because he was such a polite bitch. You didn't expect it from someone who looked like Joey. It was the story of his life, people acting so surprised that he was so nice, and so...normal. He rested one leg on the other leg's knee and stubbed out his cigarette in a nearby ashtray. It was so much warmer in here, that sitting in the striped sweater he had on was a little stuffy. But ooh, a nice cold beer would help with that situation. Joey began to chuckle. "You even have to ask? Seriously?" Joey scoffed, tugging on the plug in his earlobe a little bit. It was obvious that Jasper didn't have to ask, the man was sticking his hands in the fridge before Joey got the chance to answer!

Normal shit sounded about right. It was the same for Joey, minus that fighting part. You could replace fighting with being a daddio. God damn, it was one of the hardest jobs of all! But he enjoyed it, for the most part! He liked it a lot better when he wasn't doing it by himself. "Yup, I know. And it has, dude. It has. Too long, in fact. I should have come sooner, the kids would have loved to come here." he smiled, knowing that they probably would have jumped at the chance to come here when it was snowing and see their 'uncles' Elias and Jasper. They called so many of their parents friends aunt and uncle, as if their family needed to be any bigger? Their blood-related family tree was big enough already! "But yeah, I'm okay." said Joey, a firm nod of his head. It wasn't a lie, he was okay. He wasn't feeling his most awesomest, but he was okay! "Really busy though. Thinking about getting a new job with Disney." he added and gave a sweet little grin. The thought simply made him as giddy as a school boy. If you'd have asked him at the age of eighteen if he thought he would ever work for Disney, he would have dropped to the floor and rolled around, pissing himself laughing.

Not because he was embarrassed at the thought, oh god no. Joey was far from ashamed to say that he loved Disney. He was a big fan of their animated films, which was great because he could sit with the kids and watch them without getting pissed off. Yeah, he even loved shit like Sleeping Beauty. He had done ever since he was a little kid. And moving to Anaheim, where Disneyland lived, helped install a love of the theme park too. He had designed a shirt for a friend that had Mickey Mouse on it, he dressed up as a young Walt Disney for a Halloween party and shit, the dude even had a Mickey Mouse related tattoo. Although, it didn't exactly show his love for Disney since Mickey was decapitated and holding his own head like a headless butler. But it showed his love for Disney and Halloween?? Now that he worked in animation, being given the opportunity to work with the company was like a dream come true. He had been offered jobs by Pixar, but it would mean that he would have to move near San Francisco and while it was a lovely place, his home was where his heart and family was - southern California. He wasn't about to uproot his children after they had finally settled into their lives. That would just be selfish. "Which would be great." he smiled, incredibly pleased at the idea.

He just had to wait for the position to go public so that he could pounce on that shit, he got the news from a very close friend of his who worked for the company. It would probably be a nice little pay rise, probably not a massive difference but every little helped. "So when does this film get all wrapped up, Jasp?" he asked, because he had forgotten. He knew he had been told, but there was so much other shit on his mind right now. It would have to get all edited and put together once the actual filming was done, but it would hit the cinemas soon after. And Joey would totally go and see it, even if it wasn't his kind of deal. A romantic comedy, it was hardly Jasper's deal either! But he'd go to support his buds and their team, he'd go to any film they worked on, no matter how far from his type it was.

AND WHEN IT'S TOO MUCH TO BEAR,

SO HANG ON, HANG ON - - - *

THERE WERE CERTAIN THINGS IN LIFE THAT YOU HAD TO SAY "FUCK IT" TO. at least, that was one of jasper saw it. if you lived in fear of things, then you would spend all of your life being afraid. there was a shitload of things in life that jasper could've been potentially afraid of. planes, dogs, dying, knives, cities, needles, blah blah blah. being afraid of such minor things was something he couldn't do. so, when it came to things as simple as riding the train, jasper just shrugged it off. there was a chance he could get robbed on the train, stabbed on the train, being pushed in front of the train, whatever. in any case, he was willing to take that chance. it seemed like a guy like jasper was pretty much unafraid of anything that was thrown in his way. for the most part, it was true. he didn't give a shit about most things, but he was still human. he had some fears; one big one in particular, but he wouldn't discuss that. in any case, the one thing that he was afraid of was being head over heels for someone. yeah, it sounded cheesy, like something that was torn straight out of some movie, but it was true. after his experience with olivia, he wasn't ready for that shit. it left him as a wreck: completely destroyed. that was something he didn't want to go through again. his pleasure in life came from his friends, drinking, fights, the whole shebang. that's all he really needed now, right? right.

sometimes, jasper had so sit back and wonder how he did it. joey was like fucking superman in his eyes. his wife passed, and yet joey still kept it going. he managed to raise his kids and be a damn good father, which was a lot more that jasper could even begin to think that he'd ever be. then again, everyone had to move on with life. as shitty as things could be, all we could do was just move forward. it somewhat reminded him of his own parents. obviously, that scenario didn't apply to his parents. his father couldn't move forward after his wife died. instead of manning up and taking care of his kid - like joey did - he took the easy route and offed himself. it was one of the many reasons why jasper respected joey. he didn't have to keep being a dad. " one day soon, we're taking a family trip to disney land. " jasper really did love spending time with annabelle and jamison. weird, right? he usually didn't like kids. they were so needy, almost like women. they demanded that you buy them things, take you places, the whole nine yards. but joey's kids were different. they were absolutely amazing and he enjoyed whenever they went on their little outings back in cali.

jasper nodded as a confirmation to knowing that joey was okay. it was good to know that he was. there were rough patches, but just knowing that he was getting along fine was a relief on the soul. " disney? " jasper questioned, his eyes immediately showing a sign of interest." dude, that's awesome! and imagine all the shit that would come with it. " jasper couldn't help but let his mind wander of all the possibilities. " free movie viewings for disney movies, special offers, discounted tickets to disney land... " he could've started ocking back and forth with delight if he really wanted to. ..okay, so maybe jasper really enjoyed disney land and all of the animated movies and such. as a kid, he never got to see those movies and go to disney land. but now, he was making up for all of that. it was funny how jasper was sounded more excited than joey about this, but it was only because jasper was proud of him. he really was. and disney? you knew you were somebody if you were working for disney. jasper managed to calm himself down and act really cool by leaning back and taking a drink from his beer. " that's cool, man. it's too bad i can't draw for shit, or else i would've been in there. "

jasper groaned when joey brought up the movie. " that movie's a pain in my ass, " he started, running his fingers through his dark hair. " if i wasn't working with these people, then i'd end up punching all of them in the face. the only one i even bothered to tolerate is elias's cousin. besides that, everyone else can go be fucked. " he stopped himself from what could've potentially been a rant and sighed. " it's finishing up this month, thank god. and i just get paid to scream at people, so it's alright. but when it's all finished and whatnot, we are NOT watching it. ever. " he was going to spare his friends from the pain of seeing it, since he couldn't spare himself the pain of working on it. he didn't care if the movie did come out good. it was good pay, so why not? when he directed his own movies and actually liked what the whole thing was about, then sure, they could all go and watch. " this whole romantic comedy shit ain't my cup of tea. "

he took another drink of his beer felt a little more content. " if i could find a project that i like back in california, i'd be taking the first flight back over there. " it was true. jasper was starting to miss california quite a bit. most of the current projects were set in new york, so at the moment, there was more opportunity here. it was funny how he and elias managed to travel across the country, just to attend film school. but it was all good. " i heard there's some upcoming ones in LA, maybe. i just gotta keep my eyes open for one i like, so i can bring my ass back over there. speaking of cali, how's the munchkins? "

Joseph beamed, now finding he was re-excited at the opportunity! He hoped he had a chance, he knew he would be even busier but it was worth it. It was like a dream come true to work for a company like Disney. "Man, I would love it without any perks." he chuckled even though he was damn fucking serious. "I really hope I have a chance, I'll still get to stay in LA with this job and I imagine the pay will be a little better there." he explained. He was a talented guy and he was passionate about his work, but so were other guys. At least he had a chance to sort out his portfolio and resume prior to the job going up for grabs. He was going to jump on that motherfucker. Jasper sometimes wasn't a people person, so it was amusing/alarming to imagine how he might be on set. But Joey could understand were Jasp was coming from. A lot of jobs started at the bottom and while this wasn't the bottom, it probably felt like it to Jasper. "You gotta wade through the shit you don't like to get to where you wanna be though, right?" said Joseph, knowing that you had to start somewhere in this business, and the movie was a great opportunity for Jasper. Sure, it wasn't his type of movie but not everything was going to be. You had to bulk up your resume and be glad you actually had a project to work on and be paid for.

Soon he would find something he was really passionate about and he would be one hundred and twenty percent into making it magnificent. "And even if it's not your thing, it's still a great achievement." he smiled, bringing the can of beer to his lips to take a healthy slurp. That was how Joey saw it anyway, he was a pretty good optimist despite the shit he was going through. If he wasn't, he would be curled up in bed unable to go on with life! He was often the voice of reason, trying to shed some positive light on a less than perfect situation. If this movie did well (like it was expected to do) Jasper would have something to be proud of, for such a young age he would be on his way to going places. And in time, there would be none of this assistant director shit. He would be the man in charge and he would get to call the shots. "Aw, come on!" he laughed, as he wanted to see it! "Not even for Jules?" he asked, seeing as Jules was Elias' cousin who Joey had only met in person once but spoke online to her sometimes. "We are, I'm making sure of it. I'll chain you to a chair and make you watch it if I have to." Joey grinned, his dimples cheekily digging into his skin. "Think of all the chicks who will love it, who you can woo by telling them you worked on it." he added, as that was probably more like his cup of tea, women!

He raised his eyebrows, lowering the can before taking a drink of it to answer Jasper. "For real?" he asked, at the prospect of Jasper coming back. Usually, the boys came in twos. They went to college together in New York and stayed here, perhaps they would come back together too. Even if it was just for work and then they went back. It sure would be great to have the guys back in town for a bit. There was only so much instant messaging, texting and phone calls you could go through before really wanting to hang out in person. "Oh, they're doing good. Jamie's having a few troubles in the night but other then that, he's his usual energetic monster self. And Anna is being really brave. She's doing really good, loving dance classes right now. And is getting rich off the tooth fairy." he laughed, seeing as he was the tooth fairy in the house. Anna had matured more over the past year, becoming a mini-mom to help Joey out. And she was eagerly attending dance classes, she loved ballet and was super excited to be in her first show for Easter. Jamie was having trouble sleeping, at first he wouldn't be able to get to sleep then he would wake up later and wouldn't go to bed until he couldn't stay awake and Joey had to carry him. And sometimes he would wake up earlier then he was supposed to and end up getting in Joey's bed.
