Lexi

After Blake had left, there was an uncomfortable silence hanging in the air. Lexi was generally trying to avoid looking at her sister. She hadn't wanted to annoy Blake, but it seemed she'd messed up. She had thought hard about what she wanted, she didn't care all that much if Daria could or could not help him with Biology, all she really wanted was someone to look after her and he had seemed like a good choice.

She too spoke to Daria, 'Sorry, I… I should go as well,' She moved over to Daria hugging her, feeling tears well up inside her again. Daria went to express thanks, and to reassure her, but Lexi had already pulled away and hurried out of the ward.

The first empty classroom she came to, she entered. Staying out of sight of the window, she crumpled into a corner, sobs racking her body. Her tears streaked down her cheeks, and she attempted to wipe them away wondering what she was going to do. Her mistake with Blake didn't help, but hearing her sisters ordeal had shaken her.

She was upset and guilty and stressed, and she hated it. In her oh so wonderful attempt to protect Daria, she'd only made things worse, much worse. Blake probably wouldn't want to speak with either of them for a while, and she couldn't let Daria see that she was upset. Daria is the one who should be upset, she had to deal with genuine issues, genuine mistreatment. Mistreatment at the hands of the Bucks, at the hands of Red… And it wasn't just Daria, she herself had been worried sick that her sister was seriously hurt… The emotions within her slowly coalesced into rage a swirling storm, it was his fault, and he would pay for it.

Wiping her eyes she got to her feet, a steely glint in her eyes. She set off to track down the Bucks.
