Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale
Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.
Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.
Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.
River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.
If Henry had known that his choice in words would have shocked Sterling like it had, then he might have used a different noun. Truthfully, Henry thought he had outright killed his boyfriend. He truly believed he had murdered Sterling and he was now buried six feet under in an unmarked grave. He knew he was really the only one Sterling had as far as family went...not to mention, he was all Henry had as far as family goes. Sterling was everything to him. And to think that he had taken all of that away because of who he now was? It hurt.
However, when Sterling told him that no, he wasn't a murderer, there was something in the way he said it that didn't settle right. He reached out to touch the back of his hand lightly. "Sterling...I truly thought I had killed you. There was so much blood...and you were lifeless..." He felt the tears spring into his eyes as he had to step back as emotion overcame him. He hated reliving that moment. It was still so fresh in his mind...and it still hurt just to think about it.
As the emotion overcame him, he began to realize that Sterling might not want to see him ever again after such an incident. He had stepped back and allowed his gaze to shift to the floor, unsure of his next move. He asked if he wanted Henry to go, to leave him alone and never see him again. After all, he wouldn't blame Sterling in the slightest.
However, Henry was little surprised when he said no. Slowly his eyes began to raise to rest softly on Sterling. He still felt a little subconscious of himself. He wasn't sure what Sterling might say, but he was a little fearful. But what really came from his lips hurt Henry in a way he wasn't sure how to describe. It was almost as if Sterling wasn't upset with him for nearly killing him. And if he was, he certainly didn't show it. "I wasn't sure if you wanted me here anymore after...after what happened." Although it hadn't really been his fault (well, it was his fault, but he was not in control when it happened), he wouldn't have blamed Sterling if he didn't want to see him again. This was the first time in a very long time that Henry was truly unsure of himself.
