Tom sat down as well, and poured the three glasses full. He was pretty surprised to find out Stacey never had Coke before, so he wasn't sure what to say. He wasn't used to their lifestyle, and a week or two of living out there with them hadn't changed that completely. It was hard to comprehend how these girls missed out on so many things that others took for granted. Like school, and a family to come home to - but also the small stuff Coca Cola and whatmore.
"Okay," He handed the glasses over to them. "There's a first time for everything."

Stacey chuckled "You probably think we're weird aliens or something" she shrugged and took a sip "oh..oh my god.. iiiiii prickly! That hurts in your throat" she touched her throat with her hand. Not ready to give up yet she took a few more sips. Other fizzy drinks never were that prickly.

Tom smirked, looking over to her with slight amusement in his eyes. "Not aliens." He corrected her teasingly, "Just terribly wise on some things, and shockingly ignorant about others. Is there anything else that you'll find in any american household that you never had before?"

Stacey laughed "I wouldn't dare to say no on that one" she shrugged "Guess I'll find out in time, won't I? Once our lives will start to get normal and all..." She thought about the meeting they had the next day, with this centre that helps out homeless kids. "You really think they could like.. take us in and make things better?" she asked Tom, wanting some reassurance.

"Yeah." He assured her, looking over so she could tell he wasn't lying. "I really think so. They wouldn't turn you away, that's for sure." He smiled slightly, quite content that she had agreed to go to that place, cos now her life would change for the better.

"Yeah.. with a past like that.." she smirked unamused "You know, sometimes I wonder what would've happened.. you ever have that? What if you didn't do something or what if things would be different? I do that a lot.. I mean, what if my mom and dad never divorced yknow.." Stacey turned silent all of a sudden, realising that she was babbling about important things she shouldn't just say to people. "Sorry"

"Hey, that's okay." Tom assured her, shrugging his shoulders. "I know what you mean. I guess we all do that." He looked at her, the way she turned from cheerful to fragile in a matter of seconds. He knew what she was thinking of, and he wanted to give her some peace of mind or.. something.
"There's no use wondering though. What's happened, happened. And.." He paused, "And all you can do is deal with it. And find the right people to help you deal with it. Yknow?"

"Yeah.. you're right.. and I'm going to.. tomorrow will be the first step" SHe forced a smile on her face, feeling like a real partypooper here. "I guess you should bring us back to the station soon?" she asked.

Sera glanced over to her friend, not really grateful for that suggestion. She didn't like the idea of being in that place all by themselves. She felt a lot safer here. "Can I have another glass of cola first?" She asked quickly, before Tom could react.
"Yeah, sure." Tom gestured at the bottle to tell her to go ahead and take it. "You can take some to jumpstreet too, anyway. I think the soda-machines are plugged out during the night so you better have some with you."

"Yeah.." Stacey followed Sera's lead and filled her glass too. Part of her wished that Tom would invite them to stay in the house one more time, to sleep under his roof one more time. But that would probably be too much for a young guy like Tom. She bet he needed to go and enjoy his freedom again now that their case was over. "Are you the only one who has a key of jumpstreet? I mean.. can any of your colleagues come in at night?"
