Located in a small suburb in Bulgaria, this is home to Chris, his brother, mum and dad.
Has you walk into the house you are in a hall way. Right in the middle is the stair case. But when walking forward you see the kitchen on your right. The kitchen is nice size, with a glass door leading outside; this has a pool and a basketball hoop. Back to the inside, right across from the kitchen is a living room that has a small fire place, a muggle TV, a baby grand piano and a couch.
As you head up stairs Chris’s room is the first on the right. Inside it has his two guitars, a drum set, and posters of all his favorite muggle bands. Along with his bed he also has a futon.
So come and have a good time. Quote:

That question Chris didn't know. "I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen when I tell them. If you really want to you can but if not that's fine to." He told Lena. Really he didn't want to have to do this. But he had to. This was going to be awkward as it was then throw Lena in the middle and it will probably be even more sooo.

Lena thought about it a moment, after nodding slightly at his words until a few seconds later, she took Chris's hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze as she also gave him a small smile. I'm right beside you, she said. She didn't want him to have to go through it alone, even if her presence did make it a bit tense for them.

Chris looked at Lena as she took his hand and gentley squeezed it. He sighed. "What happens if they think that I'm just going crazy or something? I mean come on. Melinda just died...." He's voice trailed off at the end and his heart sank at his own words. Mel was dead and he was dating Lena what was wrong with the picture????

Lena sighed as well, her eyes edging back towards purple, but not truly leaving the green. You're not going crazy - you're hurting and you're upset. It's kind of.... natural. This almost made it sound like it was just because Chris was sad that he and Lena were now dating, but that was a tad bit how Lena felt.

Chris nodded and then let go of Lena's hand again. "I suppose you are right." He then turned the car on. He heard his seat belt click as he fastened it. He then hit the gas pedal and headed out of the parking lot. Still confused about what had happened. Everything was happening sooo fast he wished he could just stop time just to think. And actually be okay with all that was going on around him.

Helena didn't object when Chris let go of her hand. Instead she pulled it back so she could fasten her own seatbelt and then they were speeding back to town. She leaned back in her seat and watched out the window as scenery flashed by, being much more quiet than usual but with every right to be... Was this right?

The car ride back seemed much faster than before. Chris's felt like his heart was in his throat as he parked the ferrari right outside his house. He sighed and looked back at Lena. "You sure you just don't want to stay in the car?" He asked maybe a little hopfull but he already know the answer to this was no. He shut off the car and took off his seatbelt ready to get out and face his parent which was scaring him a lot!

Lena looked over at Chris at his question, a small grimace on her pale lips but she nodded. I'm sure, she said reassuringly with a small smile. She then unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, shutting the door lightly behind her. From there she stood and waited for Chris, her heart rate speeding up despite her efforts to control it.

Chris nodded. Alright here we go. He stood up out of the car grabbing his keys and shutting the door carefully. He gave a small smile to Lena and headed up to the house knowing she was right behind him. He could only right now hear his heart pounding. He opened the front door and made sure Lena came in before shutting it. "Mum, dad we're back." He said. Charlie was the one to hear Chris and answered him. "In the kitchen." He said.
"Come on." He whispered softly to Lena and walked towards the kitchen. "Ummm mum dad could we talk to you....umm alone???" He asked. Pretty much saying Nick shouldn't be there for this. Nick looked up at his brother confused. "Fine I guess I will leave then." He said in a huff and walked out of the room and went up stairs to his own.
Chris looked back at Lena and sighed slightly.

Helena returned Chris's small smile and followed him up to the house and finally into it. At his words, Lena nodded slightly and followed him through once more. When Nick had passed, Lena looked back at Chris, hearing him sigh. She gave him a reassuring smile.

| {Mr. Musical} Annew <3 //Pokes!!! Charlie and Emily looked at each other. "Sit." Charlie said interested in what his son had to tell him. He leaned back in his chair arms folded.
Argghhhh! He looked scary. Chris nodded to his father and gulped. He sat down as he was told to do. "Look dad and mum. I know what we just found out today. But Lena and I have been so close for so long and we are...." He trailed off. Emily looked shocked at what Chris was saying. They were together??? "Wow." She whispered and looked at her husband. Charlie was angry period end of story. "How could you even think of doing something like this??? Chris you know I have never cared who you have dated as long as they were respectful to you and to us. And Helena as been that. That's not why I mad. But what happen to the person who was sitting here cry this morning because Melinda is dead?" He asked never raising his voice but there was an edge to it.
"Dad I know she's dead. But Lena and have been almost a couple for so long." He couldn't say anymore his father looked disapointed and he didn't want that. "You should understand dad." He whispered quietly. "Understand?! Chris you are being hot and cold. Couldn't you two have waited a bit longer?" He asked
"But we have, and I know the timing sucks but it's not like we are rushing things." He told his father. Charlie couldn't say anymore. "If you feel this is right they we can only be happy for the two of you." He said looking back at Emily who wasn't saying anything at the moment.

Helena sat down in a chair next to Chris's, more than just a little nervous at the expression his father was wearing. The edge in his voice was one that she had heard so many times from her own parents and she just managed to keep from shuddering at the memories. She did know where Charlie was coming from, though. Still, she felt bad that Chris was taking all the heat for this.... but then the moment was past and Lena looked back at Charlie, her eyebrows raised up in near disbelief, but he was no longer looking at them. Lena looked over at Chris, not sure what to say.

Chris looked back at Lena with a sorry look. He knew one of his parents were going to freak out this is why he really didn't want her to come in. But hey it was over for now at least. He put his head down waiting for somebody else to say something. Emily was the one who talked first. "I think what your father is trying to say is this was just a big shock to us Chris." She said looking back from Lena and Chris. "We all know how much you cared about Melinda and this was just sort of fast." She told them much calmer.
"That's what I've been thinking. But mum I don't want to have to go through this alone. And I don't think Mel would want me to. I feel bad as it is. I just don't want to go through this all by myself. I know I have all of you. But soon we will be back in school." He said trying to explain.

Awww.... Chris putting his head down made Lena feel even moooore awkward.... After Emily spoke and Chris replied Lena nodded after a moment. Mrs. Kaplan - Mr. Kaplan, I know this has been extremely difficult for everyone, and I don't want to cause any conflict. All I want is for Chris to have things easier after all that's happened.... Lena trailed off at this, but she felt remarkably unabashed by having finally spoken.

| {Mr. Musical} Annew <3 //Pokes!!! Charlie understood what Lena and Chris was saying. He had calmed down a bit himself now. "I know what you are saying Chris. But I don't want either of you to get hurt if you rush into a relationship so fast. But it seems like you two are serious about this if you were to come to us right away." He commented. Actually he was quite happy they did. He wasn't trying to change their minds by any means.
Chris had picked his head back up and nodded to his father. And looked at Lena again. "I don't think something bad is going happen like that. I know things are fast but it just felt like the right time." He said looking back at his parents.

Lena saw where Charlie was coming from with this, too, but she just knew that wasn't the case. She looked back over at Chris to see him looking at her and she gave him a small smile. I have to agree, she said, pulling her eyes away from him as he did with her.

| {Mr. Musical} Annew <3 //Pokes!!! Emily felt the room become tense. "Maybe we should let you two talk for a bit." She said standing up and put her hand on her husband's back. She gave him a looked that said follow her because she knew he didn't want to. Charlie felt Emily's hand on his back and that look. He sighed and stood up. He looked between Lena and Chris. He walked over closer to Lena. "I hope I didn't make you hate me with that little display of angry." He said and winked to her. With that he held his wife's hand and walked out of the room not waiting for an answer.
Chris watched his parents leave and looked back at Lena. "I'm soooo sorry about that. My dad is never like that I think everybody is just freaking out." He said to her.

Ahhh.... alone might be welcome..... just for now; Lena truly did like Chris's parents. As Charlie came over to her and spoke, though, she opened her mouth to reply but he had already gone. She frowned - of course she didn't hate him. Lena looked back at Chris to find him looking at her once more. It's perfectly fine, she said with a small sigh, more relieved than anything. I'd probably freak out too if I were in their shoes, she said, shaking her head slightly, but then smiling at him.

Chris nodded he too was freaking out not having to know what they were going through. He then groaned. Oh noes! How was he going to tell Nick? The kid was so going to hate him for awhile after this one. He loved Melinda like a sister, not that Nick didn't like Lena just Mel and him were so close from the start. "Oh that heck will I have tell Nick? He is just going to flip out on him." He told Lena.

Oh crap. Chris was freaking out again. Lena put her hand lightly on his arm. It'll be okay. He's young, but he'll understand if not now, soon. I promise. Lena's green eyes scanned Chris's, trying to be there for him while also attempting to figure out if they were really doing the right thing.... Could Chris really commit to a relationship so soon after Mel died?

Now he was freaking out again. "I know he will hopfully soon. But he was just really close...." Chris started and didn't finishing his thought. He then took both of Lena's hands into his and faced her. "Thank you for being here for dealing with me." He said smiling slightly and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Having no idea that she was having a slightly doubt about them.

Chris didn't have to finish his thought for Lena to get the gist; they had all been close to Mel. But as Chris took her hands in his, she stopped thinking about all the complications for the moment and returned his slight smile with one of her own as he kissed her forehead. Anytime, dear, she said with a small chuckle, I'm always here if you need me. Ahhh how blissfully unaware he was....

"Well thank you anyways. I would probably be sick of me by now and wouldn't want to be around me. And honestly if you get tried of me being all sad or something really tell me because that's the last thing I want to have happen." Chris told Lena. He didn't want to bring her down as well and if he did he would feel bad. He then pulled her into a hug carefully.

Helena wasn't thinking that at all! But as she was about to say so, Chris pulled her slowly into a hug. After a brief, brief moment, Lena hugged him back, feeling the oddest urge to cry with his arms around her, but it was him who needed her right then and not the other way around, so she held it in. You have good reason, she said truthfully with a small sigh, still not letting go just yet. Now if you were depressed for no reason, then I might have a problem, she teased with a weak smile.

Chris chuckled slightly not wanting to let go of Lena yet. "Yes I can understand where you wouldn't like that. I mean that would be a bit stupid. " He told Lena. He felt her arms around him and it felt differemt fro when they use to hug this felt better. He liked how this was feeling comfortable not pressured or anything. It was normal.
