"Fine! I don't care!" Another tear.

I went up to her and hugged her, wiping her eyes. "....I'm sorry. But it has to happen, whether you like it or not. I promise, it won't change how he thinks of you. It's /Zane/, for goodness' sake."

She remained still. "I couldn't care if he thought I was the fucking sun because of this. I don't want to talk about it.

2016-01-12 07:07:03

🌀

"I'll talk about it for you, then, and you don't have to listen if you don't want to...."

2016-01-12 07:13:37

●

"There's /nothing/ to talk about."

2016-01-12 07:14:38

🌀

".....there is. This is how relationships work. He has to know, even if only so he can help prevent it getting that bad again."

2016-01-12 07:16:15

●

"There isn't! It doesn't even involve him! It's only just /me!/"

2016-01-12 07:17:34

🌀

"It isn't. We all care about you. He cares about you most of all. We're all involved because we want the best for you."

2016-01-12 07:21:02

●

"What's best for me is to pretend it doesn't even exist."

2016-01-12 07:21:27

🌀

"But unfortunately it does, and if it were just something stupid I wouldn't be so concerned, but it matters and I want to help."

2016-01-12 07:22:31

●

"It doesn't. He doesn't need to be involved."

2016-01-12 07:24:56

🌀

"It does. He's your boyfriend. He's your..../first/ boyfriend. If Ren, Madison and I are all involved, he has to be too."

2016-01-12 07:26:58

●

"I didn't want them involved either."

2016-01-12 07:27:40

🌀

"But they are. And look what happened. Madison saved your /life/."

2016-01-12 07:28:07

●

"I'm not even talking about that! I don't care about that! I'm talking about the astral plane /in general/! I'm not /supposed/ to be there! You know it! Lance knows it!"

2016-01-12 07:29:43

🌀

"...so what?"

2016-01-12 07:30:41

●

"That's not /normal!/ And I don't want /anyone/ knowing that!"

2016-01-12 07:31:24

🌀

"Ivory, /none/ of us are normal, even for what we are. There's nothing wrong with that."

2016-01-12 07:31:54

●

"That's easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to live with what I see. I can't just turn it off. It's always there. Whether I like it or not!"

2016-01-12 07:32:56

🌀

"I can't turn off the mind reading either, and you know what kinds of horrible things I hear sometimes? Life's not perfect, especially for people like us, and by us I mean virtually everyone we know, but that doesn't make you any stranger, and it certainly isn't something anyone would hate or think less of you for. Especially Zane."

2016-01-12 07:35:17

●

"I'm /very/ aware Zane would be okay with it, but that doesn't make it better! Just leave it! Please!'

2016-01-12 07:37:10

🌀

"....Ivory. This. Is. Important."

2016-01-12 07:38:13

●

"Letting him know isn't!"

2016-01-12 07:38:43

🌀

"It is, you're purposely keeping this from him, after keeping him in the dark about a lot of other things beforehand. At this rate, you're going to ruin your trust and communication, believe me, I've watched it happen."

2016-01-12 07:39:42

●

"Then let it! Because I don't want to tell anyone!"
