"If...your parents are...as they are, why would you want to go back to them? To find them?" Especially if her dad scared her so much? The concept of family made sense, but this seemed just strange.

With a heavy sigh, he rested his head back and watched the flames lap at the logs of the fires. "Fresh starts are always good, providing you are not running from anything." Slowly he turned his eyes back to Lexi, giving her a soft smile. "What you run from, will always catch up with you. Trust me, I know. But you have to do what's right for you. There will be drama anywhere you go, it's a part of life. How we chose to handle it, and react to it determines how much it affects you and shapes you." He wasn't going to, couldn't, tell her what to do one way or another. That was a choice she had to make and which he would support either way. That was his duty, as her friend.

Lexi KNEW he was going to ask something along those lines. Sighing she looked at him and smiled softly. "Good or bad... they are my parents, Sabel. They were trying. Mum probably saved my life last year. I was really really sick and someone sent her an owl and she showed up and nursed me back to health," she said softly.

She listened to his logic and nodded. "Fresh start. That is all I want. I know you are right, drama will be everywhere, but I have to think that it won't be this bad. I can't handle this anymore. The stress, the humiliation. I am exhausted," she said as she let her head fall back on the arm of the couch and sighed again. "I am not sure what to do anymore, Sabel."
