FM - October - Compromise
Everything is so crazy right now. Well, crazy and sad. This thing with Lexi. I don’t even know how I feel about it. I haven’t had much time to think about how I feel, I’ve been too worried about Lacey. I know I need to call Tyler, he’s my best friend, but what do you even say at a time like this? Lacey’s cried since she found out, so I can only imagine how Ty’s feeling. And me? I’ve just been trying to be the strong one I guess. Somebody’s got to. Lacey’s a mess.
She’s been staying at my house since everything happened. I want her here with me, it’s safer that way. It’s not like my parents are around anyway. I pretty much live here by myself and they just pay the bills. Not that I’m complaining. I’m used to it, it’s been like that my whole life.
I just feel like Lacey’s safer here, I can protect her. If I need to use my magick, I will. Especially with Lexi saying she wants Lacey to be her best friend forever. Emphasis on forever. I didn’t really want her going back over to Kaci’s, but she insisted, saying she was gonna go talk to this Kennedy girl, who was Lexi’s aunt or something. She was the one who trained the Slayers, so Lacey was gonna go see her and see if she’d teach her how to protect herself. I didn’t want her to leave. I couldn’t keep her safe if she did. But I had to compromise right? I had to trust everything was going to be okay.
She left and I tried to keep myself busy. So I wouldn’t worry. We weren’t going to go to that Halloween party now, instead we were gonna hang out together. Just the two of us. I was going to take her out on a date and try to keep her mind off everything. At least for one night. Which reminded me, I needed to call Tyler. Flipping my phone open, I found his name in my address book and pressed send, holding it to my ear. I got his voicemail, so I decided to leave him a message. “Hey Ty, it’s Jude. Just wanted to check in. I’m around if you need to talk. Let me know if there’s anything I can do.”
Flipping it closed again, I climbed the stairs to my bedroom to get dressed. Hopefully Lacey would be back soon. I was already starting to get worried.
