"Why the hell did my sister try to attack Faye in the middle of school? Well, because she's a bitch, that's why." -Lucy

*

Faye

"Attacked you at school?" Mom finally asks after I told her about what happened at school.

"Yes," I said. "In the middle of school. At least nobody was around to see the knife."

Mom rubbed her temples. "Jesus. They're going to extreme lengths now."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"The Slayers," she says, looking very tired. "It seems that they somehow figured out what kind of dragon Leto is."

"A while ago," I begin, fetching the memory. "Lucy told me that there might be a spy in the Hover."

"I woudn't doubt it, sweetheart," Mom said. "The Hover itself doesn't know. That means someone was hanging around us when we were at Dragons Cove."

"This is peachy," I sigh, leaning back against my chair. "I've put my own dragon in danger."

"Faye." Mom gives me a very stern look. "This is not at all you're fault."

"Then why do I feel so guilty?" I groaned. My stomach was about to explode. "Wait, hold that thought."

I jumped out of my chair, running to the nearest bathroom, and slamming the door. I barely got to the toilet when the vomit came out of my mouth.

There was a knock at the door. "Sweetie?"

"I'm oka-" I didn't even get to finish that sentence, because I began vomiting again.

"Do you need anything?" she asks gently behind the door.

I wipe my mouth with my sleeve and flush the toilet, lean against the wall, shuddering. "Can I have a cup of water please?"

"Of course." I hear her footsteps fade and I close my eyes, tears beginning to spill out. 

A moment later I hear the door open, and an arm on my shoulder. "Butterfly?"

"I don't know if my stomach will want to upchuck later so I'd leave if I were you," I say, trying not to sob.

"Why would I?" I heard Jackson murmur, slide down beside me. "I'm not scared to see a little vomit. I'll be here for as long as you need."

I couldn't help it. More tears came, and I buried my face in his chest. "I-I put Leto in danger."

He kisses my head. "No you didn't, butterfly."

"But why do I feel guilty?" I sniffle, and look up at him. He leans down and kisses my face, where tears had dropped.

"I would be surprised if you didn't," he murmurs back, rubbing my back. "It's natural, but I'm sure Leto doesn't blame you."

"I-I'm so sorry Leto," I say to her, even sobbing in my head.

She sounded alarmed. "For what?"

" I..the Slayers..they.." I coudn't finish. "I feel like its all my fault.."

"It isn't," she says gently, "I know what happened, it's not you're fault at all."

"Yes it is." I wipe my eyes.

"No. It's not. It was bound to happen, I can't hide forever." 

"I'm still sorry," I apologize.

"Don't be."

"Butterfly?" I look up at him, blinking.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Were you talking to her?" he asked me, as I snuggled deeper into his arms.

"Yeah," I replied. "I was."

"And?"

"She says it's not my fault."

"See." He presses another kiss to my head. "Told you."

I laugh softly, sniffling more. "Don't be cocky."

"I am not cocky," he replied with a scowl. 

"Yes you are," I retort, smiling. "But in the cutest way possible."

He chuckled. "I see."

"There we go with the cockiness again."

He laughed. 

I heard a knock on the door. "Sweetheart? I got you a glass of water."

I get to my feet, legs still shaky and open the door. Mom had a glass of water in one hand.

"Thanks, Mom," I tell her, taking it.

"You're welcome." She kisses my head and gives me a sad smile. "It's going to be okay."

"I know." I take a sip of the water, the cool liquid slid down my burning throat, soothing it.

"How about you go take a nice warm bath?" she suggested.

A nice warm bath did sound appealing.

"Okay," I agree, gulping down the rest of water. 

Jackson walked out, smiling. "Maybe we can watch a movie afterwards?"

"Sure." I smile back, appreciating that they're trying to make me feel better. "That would be awesome."

He nods, kisses my forehead, then walks down the hall. Mom followed.

I make my way to the kitchen slowly, trying not to make myself more lightheaded than I already was. I set the cup in the kitchen sink, and lean against the counter and close my eyes while I let a wave of dizziness pass. 

I took a deep breath in then let it out shakily. My legs were shaky as well, and I very slowly made my way to the basement. I carefully went down the steps and went to the bathroom and started the bath.

I got my phone, added Lucy, Quince, Ken, and Jackson to a group chat and sent them a message.

I got a moment of deja vu, remembering Ken, Lucy, and Manny texting with me in a group chat. It made me smile.

Me: Hi.

I waited patiently for a text back as I set my phone on the counter besides me and dip my foot in the warm water, and instantly I felt relaxed. I then got in all the way, just as my phone buzzed a couple times.

I pick it up, unlock it, and look at the replies.

Lucy: Did u tell your mom?

Ken: Hi there.

Quince: u ok?

I noticed Jackson didn't reply, so I was thinking he didn't have is phone with him when my phone buzzed again.

Jackson: How r u?

Me: Yes I told her, I guess I'm okay, and I'm surviving.

Ken: Told her what?

Me: Lucy's sister attacked me. At school.

Ken: WHAT?

Quince: Holy shit.

Me: Yep.

Jackson: What idiot does that in the middle of school? I mean, I know Slayers are stupid but come on..I'm sure they have more sense then THAT.

Lucy/Ken: HEY!

Jackson: Not counting you guys of course.. :P

Lucy: Mmmhmm, sure. You're lucky your pretty, otherwise you'd be dead.

Jackson: I know I'm purtty. ;)

Me: Cocky.

Ken: Way cocky.

Me: Stay out of this. xD

Ken: Nahah. I am apart of this chat, so there for I'm apart of the name calling.

Quince: How are those 2 related?

Lucy: Idk..

Me: U guys r weird. :P

Lucy: u obviously love us. If u didnt we wouldnt be friends. lol.

Jackson: U love me most. ;)

Me: WATCH IT, MR. COCKY. 

Quince: LOL, Im the only normal 1 here.

Ken: No. If you're friends with Faye, you're friends with us. Therefor, that makes u weird 2. :)

Me: Exactly, thank you Ken.

Ken: Just stating the truth. :D

Quince: Hmph.

Lucy: She doesn't cut out to be one of us.

Me: BAD LUCY, BAD!

Jackson: LOL

Ken: ROFL

Lucy: If any of you had said it I'd of kicked your asses.

Me: HA! I can get away with it! :P

Ken: Shush.

Jackson: Meanie

Quince: *Sits back and watches*

Me: Lolz

We text back and forth a little while, but I decided to shower since the water got a little cool. After my shower, I put my hair into a ponytail, but on some old comfy jeans and a t-shirt with a jacket over it.

I come out of the bathroom, making sure to put the dirty clothes in the hamper and check my phone but it had no more messages.

I decided to go and get Jackson for a movie, but when I came out of the bedroom, what I saw was amazing.

Snacks of all sorts including gummy worms, popcorn, skittles, Sour Patch Kids, and a few bottles of soda were neatly placed on the coffee table. A brand new looking fuzzy blanket was draped across the couch, ready to be used. A stack of four or five books were sitting nicely on the side table, next to them a stack of movies. A fire was crackling softly in the fireplace and waiting for me was Jackson.

"Oh my god.." I run my eyes over each item, then move my eyes to Jackson who was smiling. "Did you do this?"

Jackson smiles wider. "Well, yes, but I had some help from your mom," he said, pulling out my credit card. "She told me what types of books you like, your favorite movies you do not yet own, and your favorite snacks."

"Jackson," I gasp, walking over to him, sitting on the couch. "This is amazing! Why'd you do it?"

He turned so he was facing me, and placed a hand on my cheek. He ran his thumb on my cheek, sending tingles throughout my body. "Because you need it. You need one night to relax and not worry about anything else."

Tears pricked my eyes, and I hastily wiped them away. I noticed I've been crying a lot lately. "This is..I can't even put it into words. Thank you, so much."

"Anything for you," he murmured, leaning down and pressing his lips against mine. This kiss wasn't eager, playful, nor demanding. It was gentle, sweet, and slow. He pulled away one minute later, placing kisses on my nose, eyes, cheeks, and forehead. 

"I will always take care of you, provide for you," he whispers, his lips grazing mine as he spoke. "You will always be my top priority. Our family will be my top priority."

My mind flashed with a scene, a scene of me and Jackson, standing in a sky themed room. Me, pregnant and big, Jackson holding a little boy in his arms who looked strangely like him..with my eyes.

Our family? This time, tears spilled my eyes without my knowing.

"Butterfly?" He looks at me, concerned. "Why are you crying? Did I make you upset?"

"No." I wipe tears away, sniffling. "I had a thought, is all."

"Which was?" he asks, rubbing my back.

"You," I start, "and me. We were in a child's room, which was very blue and bright. Happy, and relaxed. I was..well, I was pregnant. You were holding a boy, with brown hair and my eyes."

His eyes flashed with an emotion I thought was love. "You did?"

"Yes." I close my eyes as I recall it. "We were happy."

"Maybe it's a sign," he whispers, leaning down. 

"Mm," I murmur against his lips, wrapping my arms around his neck and enjoying the kiss. When we pull away for air, I ask, "What kind of sign?"

"That we'll be happy together."

"I'm happy now." I picked a random movie up and walked to the DVD player and put it in. The movie is Taken.

"So am I," he admits. "But I have a feeling things will get better."

I meet his eyes for a moment, before coming over. He lays down on the couch, stretching out, and I join him, laying the same position. Our feet intertwine and he wraps the blanket over us, resting his head on my shoulder. As the movie starts, he says, 

"We're gonna be okay."

And I knew that now.
