FM December Topic - Shhh

Dec 16, 2007 23:36

"Shhh," I said, when Jude protested the new job I'd gotten. He kept insisting that he could take care of me. Kacie was never at the beach house, so even if his parents ever did decide to come home from Europe, I'd still have a place to live. He said that he'd pay my cell phone, and buy me clothes, and take me out to dinner every night so that I was ( Read more... )

It was hard not to glance over my shoulder now everywhere I went. After Lexi's generalized threats on instant messenger, I'd been watching and waiting for her to show up. She said she'd see me soon, but so far, nothing. Still, it was bothering me. A lot. I hated all this. Hated losing her, especially after I finally got the nerve to tell her I loved her and I hated what she'd become even more. That wasn't her. It wasn't the Lexi I knew. It was just some monster, wearing her face. But it was hard for me to make myself believe that. You know ( ... )

"Caleb?" I said, looking down from the snow covered skylight to our visitor. It was weird that he was here, but definitely not unwelcome. Jude was as understanding and supportive as any amazing boyfriend could be. But Caleb could understand this thing with Lexi better than anyone could. He was hurting just as much. He loved her too. Might've been a different kind of love, but didn't almost all love hurt just the same when it was gone? I thought it did ( ... )

I wrapped my arms around her small frame, returning her hug. Smiling at her as she stepped back, I rubbed my hand over my head, getting the last of the snow out of my hair. Lacey disappeared into the kitchen and I followed Jude into the living room to sit down. He took the couch, so I sat down in the chair next to it, rubbing my hands together to warm them up. At least it was warm in here ( ... )

"Just checking." I said, laughing as I reached over and hit Jude playfully, ending his mock surrender as he pretended to be really wounded. Pshaw. I'd barely hit him! Definitely not to even half the capacity I'd found I have when Lexi took me to a vampire bar and made me bait. I guess I still needed Kennedy to train me. I was just trying to figure everything else out at that moment before I could sign myself up for something like that ( ... )

"It's okay, Lacey." I said, giving her a nod. "You can say her name. You don't have to hold back on my account." My smile confirmed my words. It was hard to hear her name, hard to talk about her, but I couldn't just avoid it all together could I? Lacey was her best friend, she had to be going through a hard time too. Maybe that's why I ended up here. Or why the snow hit when it did to bring me here ( ... )

I smiled sheepishly in Caleb's direction. Of course he knew exactly who I was talkin' about. The truth was, it was still just a little hard for me to say her name too. Still hurt. "Sometimes it's just easier not to." I whispered, before looking away from both of the boys to fight back a few tears that stung my eyes. I blinked them away, taking a long drink of my alcohol laced cocoa before turning back to them, twisting a strand of hair around my finger in a conscious attempt not to let myself go there emotionally again ( ... )

Jude was still avoiding my eyes. But I wasn't stopping. She wanted to know and for some reason, I just felt like talking. And telling her. Something told me Lacey wasn't the only one who wanted to know all this stuff. Jude did too. Even if he acted like he didn't. I wondered if he knew about all this stuff. Did he have a full grasp on his powers or did he abuse it? That night on the beach wasn't the best example I had of the guy. I shouldn't have let him expose me like that too, but I let him push me that night. I caved in. It was a mistake I wouldn't make again. Using my powers out in the open like that. I really didn't use them at all, unless it was dire ( ... )

Sooo... basically, magic was going to turn my boyfriend into an addict? Was that what Caleb was trying to tell me? That you could score if you wanted to, but before you know it, you're a junkie and you're doing uh, magical favors so that people will- wait, what? I'd gotten myself all confused with my own stupid analogy. But basically, they got so powerful, they became addicted to what they could do and then what ( ... )

Why did Caleb have to show up over here and start telling Lacey all this stuff? I kept it from her for a reason. I didn't want her to get freaked out and start worrying about me. About losing me too. She just lost her best friend and now she just found out about my whole big secret. Not only that but Caleb had to tell her the biggest part of it. The aging thing. And now, I could see it on her face. She was completely freaked. Thanks Caleb, seriously ( ... )

Pretty intense? Snow brings out the truth? Well then I guess we're going to need a freak blizzard every time I need to know what's real about something. How could he not have told me? Especially after I let him in on all the Slayer stuff, and stuff about Lexi. He had the perfect opportunity. Many opportunities, actually. So how could he just keep this from me?

"You guess that you should have told me all that 'stuff'? You guess?" I shook my head, throwing the spoon I used to measure the alcohol with right into the blender. I still hadn't figured out my own strength, 'cause the force of it made the expensive glass of the blender shatter, hot chocolate spilling all over the counter and the floor in a wide splash ( ... )

This definitely wasn't going the way I thought it would. She was really pissed about this! I didn't realize it was such a big deal. My eyes went wide and I took a step back when she threw the spoon in the blender causing glass to shatter everywhere. Woah. That was intense ( ... )
