Friend || Kaiden + Lexus

Her heart was a time bomb ticking away in her chest. Black tears streamed down her face as Lexus sprinted to Kaiden’s office. As she barged into the room, she prayed he hadn’t gone home for the night and on any other night she would have asked why he hadn’t gone home yet because it was eight fourty-five but tonight, she couldn’t find the words. Lexus’ only thought was how relieved she was to see him still here. A greatful sob escaped her lips as she started to finally break down in front of him. White teeth bit down on her dark red lips as she tried to control herself.

"He—he doesn’t—" She was hysterical. Lexus was hardly even breathing. She was too overwhelmed! How could she even say the words? He doesn’t love me! He doesn’t love me, he doesn’t love the baby! All he loves is himself and I—I was so—stupid! Lexus shook her head, swallowing the lump in her throat.

The nineteen year old walked over to him as tears fell slightly from her eyes as she bit harder into her lip. For a moment she almost feared she’d draw blood like she had a few times before but it didn’t matter. She had to stop crying so hysterically. Her hand found Kaiden’s pulling on him gently.

"Come on." She whispered, voice cracking. Now she interlocked both hands with his and pulled harder, desperate. "Please!" Another sob wracked through her fragile frame. "Please, Kaiden, please. I—I need you." Her voice broke, tears falling quicker. "I need you." I need a friend.

"You gotta get me out. We gotta go. You gotta me out."

Busted || Kai + Lex

Lexus’ foot falls came down heavy on the floor as she walked to Kaiden’s office. She was so tired of everyone starring at her. At least now they had a reason to stare. For once, she actually looked presentable, adorned in black high heels paired with a dress that had black and white “jail bird”-esque stripes. Her make up consisted of cherry red lipstick and jet black eyeliner.

The nineteen year old could trick herself into believing the people running around Thornewood were whispering about how good she looked in something other than just jeans and a t-shirt. Instead of how she was “one of the people who had been escorted into Thornewood with handcuffs on her wrists”. 

She opened the door to her therapists’ office, not bothering to knock as she did. Lexus quickly shut the door, leaning her back against it as a sigh escaped her. Her eyes slipped closed as a small smirk came to her lips. 

"Honey, I’m home." This place is not your fucking home. Before Kaiden could reply, Lexus opened her mouth to speak. “And before you say anything, I just want to ask you which category you fit into. There are two. The first one being where I accept the fact that you’re a child and ask you questions like: ‘Are you going to act like a baby and whine about how I’ve abandoned you—how upset you are that I didn’t risk Cameron’s safety by sending you a letter while we were away? Maybe slipping one under your door before we left? Do I have to crack the: ’Just because Mommy and Daddy went on vacation doesn’t mean we don’t love you’ joke?’”

Lexus paused, taking a moment to walk behind Kaiden’s desk so she could reach him. She turned his chair slightly so he’d face her while she looked for his coffee. Silently hoping he’d have some and fork it over to her. 

"Or, you could go into the category where I get to finally have someone put their big kid pants on and accept the fact that shit happened and I never intended to abandon anyone, but I’ll be damned if I come back from white-hell week and get shit from you for not risking Cam’s safety. ‘Cause I never fucking wanted to do that.” The nineteen year old hopped onto a relatively clear part of his desk, crossing her legs as she got comfortable and slowly turned his chair with her foot. 

"Choose wisely." She murmured her plea, brown eyes meeting his blues. Lexus needed someone in her corner, someone to continue to fight for her when she just got too damn tired to. She wasn't a warrior. She was weak, yet she had been bending over backwards to make sure she did everything in her power to keep Cameron happy. It the least she could do after breaking the silent promise she had made him.
