I AM AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE OPTIMIST

THE DREAMER OF IMPROBABLE DREAMS Addressed: VICTORIA, OSCaR MENTIONED: MICHAEL, ELLIOTT notes: DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO THROW THEM-- BUT THIS MIGHT BE FUN! XD tags: Aquila Ellie @fez
Olivia didn't know what to talk about on the bus ride home. She sat with her brother; but after the accident at the school with the Quinton kid, Olivia wasn't sure if she could bring it up or not. She made a few glances at her brother during the trip, but kept quiet until it stopped at the Quinton house.
Her feet hit the rocky pavement, and Olivia kicked a loose pebble from the path. Her backpack bounced on her shoulders and slipped down her arms a bit before she was able to pop it back up into a secure position. Chasing after her brother, Olivia found her footing and trotted up to him after losing that moment with her backpack.
She pursed her lips and kicked up her heels. "Do you think mum's gonna let us go home?" She asked her brother quietly as they walked up to the house. There was a bit of a distance between them and the front of the house; but Olivia could see the figures of two people standing near the bushes.
Olivia traipsed forward. She got to the front of the house and realised that the figures in front were her mother and the butler... the butler that she really liked: Michael. "Is that mum?" She muttered to Oscar, although she already knew the answer.
Her pace picked up, and Olivia found herself face to face with the duo. "Mum?" There was something wrong-- something was off. He was too close to her, and she looked... scared? Olivia didn't know what that emotion was, but it made her stomach hurt.

LIFE IS A PILE OF GOOD THINGS AND BAD THINGS...
Victoria held her breath. She was so close to forgetting every promise she had ever made herself before coming to the United States. She had promised to keep her guard up, to focus on her children and her work, and to avoid romantic tribulations. Michael made her want to throw all of those promises away.
"But..." She started just as his lips touched her cheek. He lingered there. Victoria had no choice but to expel that breath she held in, shaking on its way out. "You do." Victoria's eyes closed in a single moment of fantasy.
He drew closer to her ear. Victoria pursed her lips. He was close enough that if she wanted to break her rules she could by pressing her lips to his cheek, drawing closer and closer to his mouth. "Michael..." But before either of them could make another move there was a voice in the background that snapped Victoria back to reality.
She quickly backed away from Michael and glanced over her shoulder to see the children coming up the drive. Among them, of course, was little Olivia. Her hair was a mess by the end of the day, and her cheeks were bright pink.
"Darling," Victoria chimed with a little too much cheer. She extended her arms and waited for the young girl to run into them, picking her up off the ground in one swoop and kissing the side of her head. "How was school, love?"
In that moment, Victoria was able to leave Michael behind; but she could forget the feel of his mouth on hers.
She looked around, seeing the children of the Quinton mother run inside in a hurried fashion. She still lacked one child, thinking where Oscar might've disappeared too. "Where is your brother?"

 It was like being surrounded in a fog. They were lost in their own little world. Until the fog cleared and reality came crashing in like a downpour. A small voice cut though the tension and Michael took a step back at the same time Victoria did.
Her children. Of course.
They arrived just in time to snap him out of the fantasy he was spinning in his head. Victoria was chattering to her children in an attempt to distract them. Nothing made him feel more guilty than the suspicious glances of children, and he didn't know why he felt guilty to begin with! They weren't doing anything wrong. He repeated that to himself over and over again in his head.
"Yes, I'm sure you've all had a long day. I should go myself."
He gestured behind him and he started to take his leave, he gave a regretful and downright longing look at Victoria before he forced himself to turn away. He heard her questioning Olivia where her brother was right as he noticed the little boy hanging back in the shadows.

 It had been a pretty strange day at school and Oscar just wanted to go home. He followed his sister as they were dropped off at the Ramsey House and with each step closer he became more and more uncomfortable. He preferred school to this. Whatever happened with the Quinton kids today, the atmosphere on the bus on the ride home was different. There was a dark aura clinging to the Quinton kids and it seemed to grow the closer they got to the house.
He half listened as Olivia chattered on in front of him. It was getting later and the house was looking creepier than usual to him. He just wanted to go home.
"Is that mum?" He looked up quickly and felt a sense of relief as he spotted Victoria up ahead with the butler Michael. Olivia hurried forward to intercept them, as they looked like they were in the middle of an important conversation or something. He was also interested in what was going on but he was distracted by a noise.
He stumbled a bit and turned his head towards the bushes. A voiced called his name. It was not one he recognized and he didn't like it at all. Oscar froze in place though instead of running away. It felt like cold tendrils reached out to him from the shadows, they were pulling on him, beckoning him to come with them. Whispers in the dark, that kept calling his name.
"Leave me alone!" he hissed. He covered his ears with his hands. He was close to tears.
"Oscar? Are you alright?" He blinked and the butler came into focus. He nodded quickly but didn't say a word. He quickly rushed forward to where Victoria and Olivia were standing. "Mum, can we leave now?"

LIFE IS A PILE OF GOOD THINGS AND BAD THINGS...
Victoria stood there for a moment. Her palm pressed against her daughter's shoulder in an attempt to regain her strength. The seven-year-old stood almost as tall as Victoria. She was growing at an impressive rate. She got her height from her father, that was for sure.
Her focus was straight. He was right in front of her: Michael. He turned, one last glance, and then he started back towards the house. The shadows. He was sure to vanish. He would have had it not been for the eleven-year-old stumbling around in the back. Oliver grumbled. His forehead was red: a headache made obvious.
Victoria was surprised that by the time she snapped back to her maternal instincts, Michael had taken the cue. He knelt down to the kid and asked for his best. Victoria came in behind him, but Oliver had already hissed and made a departure.
"Mum, can we leave now?"
There was a moment that Victoria smiled. She was happy to be called "mum" for once and not "Victoria" or "my dad's ex-girlfriend". She reached for him, and in a moment of shyness, she pulled away again. "What's wrong with you?" It sounded more harsh than she had meant it.
