Meridian, Washington is near of Forks, Washington where it faces the Pacific Ocean. Facing the south of Forks, about 4 hours away to be exact. The beaches are cold during the winter but the brave solders that are known, as the local surfers will throw themselves towards it. It is not that far of a drive (maybe 10 hours, 14- depending) of Seattle, Washington but it’s closer to Tacoma.
It’s an upcoming town, known for it’s fresh fishing; it’s granola like way of living. Although there is a Starbucks, a Wal-mart is kind of hard to find. Most people find it the perfect place to raise kids.
But don’t think it’s exactly ‘small town’. Meridian is known for it’s posh record shops (locally known Pet Sounds which has been around for years) and the up and coming cleverly known ‘The Record Shop’. Jitterbug the local coffee shop that rivals Starbucks- for if you’re in Washington, there has to be one. It holds a variety of shops, mostly locally owned. The community as a whole stands firm and very apart of Washington. But as any up and coming town it’s had a boom of youngsters, either moving across the country to discover the place or born and rose near or in Meridian.
Some reasons for Washington not having state taxes taken out of checks, for better education system and public health-care. Other can be because it accepts everyone or any background or culture.
It’s one of those places that if you wanted to reinvent yourself or discover who you are, it’s the place to come.

WHO: Anthony, open WHERE: Anthony's House WHEN: October 1/10pm =========
: His truck pulled up in the drive way when Anthony checked his phone once again still there was nothing from Rainn. He knew she did whatever it was she ran off to do on Friday nights but he didn't ask her. Even though he was curious to know what it was even that she was up to he still didn't need to ask for he trusted her. After the weekend at the cabin they had their relationship was doing pretty good and he knew that Rainn loved him. He had been on could ten ever since that weekend.
Since baseball season was down right now and he didn't have anything to do really on fridays Clint had invited him to go down with him to one of his "games". That's where he saw what it really was that Clint did and he was suprised by that fact. The guy was actually really good too. Now all of the bruises and whatnot made since and why Natalia always knew about it. He was suprised that Clint let him in on this bit of information but Natalia and her ways talked him into it.
On the way home it was when Clint shared something that worried Anthony a little. It was then that he learned about Rainn getting into a spat with Nick Ramos. That just seemed weird to him that they even got into an intense little argument together, for he didn't even think that they knew each other. It caused some minor flags to rise up in his mind. He grabbed his stuff out of his truck and walked inside to his siblings fighting over something once again. He just laughed and flopped down on the couch rubbing his face in his hands as his mother came in the room talking some kind of nonsense. He really wasn't paying attention for the thoughts were all over the place in his mind. :

The nonsense Mrs Pittle was talking wasn't to Anthony but to Rainn who entered the room after his mother. They were discussing Rainn's thoughts on colleges. Of coarse they still had another year before they graduated but as Mrs Pittle said one could never be too prepared for the future. Rainn smiled flopping down next to Tony on the couch and she pressed a kiss into his cheek. "I was wondering how long you would be."
She rested her head on his shoulder as Mrs. Pittle walked back into the kitchen. "How was your night?" Rainn asked grabbing her Coke from the coffee table and settling back beside him. "I would have called but I didn't want you rushing home on my account."

Between his siblings bickering and his mom's chatter in the background Anthony still has his hands over his face with his head resting back in the couch. When he heard Rainn's voice in the mixture of everything. Thinking that he was hearing things now. He removed his hands and saw Rainn and just smiled. He was suprised to see her. He put his arm around her.
"Heyyy doll face. My night was good. How long have you been here?"
