He stood up after her, "Seriously guys. Stop trying to make things better. It doesn't work." He followed her, "Alexa come back. You need to eat." Alexa paused for a moment and then started walking again, but stopped to turn to Dylan. "I can't eat, I can't sleep... " She held her arms out in front of herself and then dropped them again, unable to figure out what to do with herself. Quote:

Jack looked at his food and played with it with his fork. BOOOOO this was turning out to be a horrible feast! Jack looked up at Dylan and frowned. "I didn't know her aunt had died as well--I thought she was still upset about the situation with Remi," he explained. How was he supposed to know she had experienced a death in the family?! He watched as Dylan got up to follow her and he crossed his arms. Excuse HIMMMM for trying to be a nice guy!
He was officially never speaking again. Mhmmm. He decided it. Tears forming in her eyes she looked at Jack and quietly said, "Jack, thank you for caring... I am sorry to have been rude but none of you aside from Dylan understands the state I am in." Quote:

Never in his life, had he wanted to hit someone more than in that moment. He could feel his fist tighten on the table in furious frustration as his eyes turned to Dylan. He would have said something to the boy, would have torn his head off with a spew of angry words, had Alexa not spoken after, had she not ended up clinging to him. Her words stung like hot iron. She wanted them to hate her? To be angry with her? She...didn't think she would get through this? Hot pain stabbed through his core as the words sunk in.
He was going to get up after her, but Dylan was there first, saying things that boiled rage within. Standing, he slammed his fist down on the table, glaring at the other boy. "Forgive us, if we don't hate her Dylan. Forgive us if we forgive her Dylan. Forgive us if we understand that telling her things won't be okay will only put her in a darker state, will only pull her down further. And forgive us if we seem forceful in our concern for our friends. We wouldn't expect you to understand what it is to see our friends like this, considering you were a victim of this experience. So, forgive us, if we wish to see you smile again."
His eyes turned to Alexa, pain and fear in them, his voice becoming a little more gentle. "Alexa...please...don't say that. We don't hate you. We don't want to hate you." He swallowed hard, gesturing to include everyone at the table, including Jack who had only tried to be nice. "We love you Alexa...so...please...don't say such things. We are here for you. That's...all we are trying to say."
His eyes flicked back to Dylan. "But it looks like you have found your comfort, and for that....I am grateful." It hurt, it hurt so bad to not yell at them both, to tell her how scared he was for her, that he just wanted to hold her until she felt safe. That his only desire was to protect her, from all pain. "I...will stay out of your hair then."
It hurt, to turn around and sit back down without another word. "SABEL DAKEST! Do not speak to Dylan like that! He understands what you don't. THings aren't going to be okay for any of us for a long time. We can' snap our ruddy fingers and everything is all smiles again. He is just being honest. You need not catch that attitude with me either... I can't even be a friend to anyone of you right now... I have to go" she said as she started to sob and ran off. |
