While I'm washing the others rehash the last 3 weeks time. What do you want me to do Sarah begged Edmond. Just not let her go say goodbye to her childhood friends. She is already giving up everything she has known unknowingly. They are going to think she is crazy Edmond. She Thinks it's still 3 weeks ago. Are you willing to deal with another meltdown when she realizes. Do you think somehow it will make her trust us enough to leave. It's been three weeks of storms and wild behavior we need to move now Sandra interjects. What if we send Lucas along with her? He can pop off a few spells to tweak the situation for now. Either way we have to be on that boat tomorrow morning said Jerald. Do you think she will let him tag along asked Sarah. I could just follow her unknowingly said Lucas. I guess that could work responded Sarah. What could work I say coming down the stairs. They were just saying how they wanted to be alone to talk so I offered to drive me and you to the docs. Whatever I'll be back soon. I need to speak with Eric and Carla before you devour the rest of my life. Can I go with you please don't leave me here.... with them Lucas says slightly pleading in a playful manner. Idk can you act your age and like an actual person. He looks at me slightly annoyed hum.... being normal is a dreadful behavior don't you think. Oh fine then I cant wait to see Carla humble you anyway I say slyly. hmmm... dinner and a show then he says as we are walking out the door. Really just don't talk please I just want to say goodbye and apologize to my friends. we walk up the sidewalk silently but as we round the corner. Lucas clears his throat. Look I know you don't like me very much. You picked that up did you I said. Look thing is I don't think it's fair to hide everything from you but I know we have to take this slow especially with your emotions. what are you talking about spit it out. Well it's complicated because you're kinda complicated. You're being stupid I say frustrated as it starts to sprinkle. Look slow down please and just talk to me. What do you want I say stopping. I don't want to aggravate you I need you to stay calm. How often does it storm when your mad he asks gently. I don't know why is this relevant I ask. So you never feel anything abnormal ? Look a lot is about to change for me and you both. You can go say bye to your friends but can you humor me and pretend it's been three weeks since you've seen them? Why would I do that that's crazy. Can you just trust me If anyone says anything say it's a joke between us. But if no one says anything can you promise to be chill and just listen Lucas says exhausted. Fine I'll play your silly game but I expect an explanation when we get home. The temperature dropped two degrees but it stopped sprinkling fortunately. Two blocks away is Eric's parents beautiful house. As I'm walking up the driveway to the light blue and white house with a wraparound porch. The big blue door opens. Eric appears in the doorway clearly aggravated. Of course you would pop up now he said. What do you mean I just.... Don't even start this crap I've been trying to get ahold of you this whole week. I don't know.....I replied taken back by his tone. Lucas pops up look she has been very sick these past three weeks there's no reason to be like that. Who even are you Eric spat? What is this your new boyfriend and your just making up excuses. I've known you since grade school but somehow I have this guy in my face telling me about you. Look I don't know what's going on I said desperately I haven't been feeling well. He is a family friend I hardly even know him I said desperately. I would have expected this from Carla but you? what are you dropping by to tell me you are bailing on me. I know you don't like my sister. I know she was mean to you. I didn't think you would use me and her wedding as revenge. Look it's not like that I said on the verge of tears. But I can't go my parents are.. Eric cut me off right you show up here with wonder boy 2 days before the event to bail. I don't have a choice I said teary eyed. Lucas steps in again look guy. I'm not thrilled about this either but she is telling the truth.My parents and hers are forcing us to come along with them to cruise. As lovely as you think she is she's not really my type. So that's it then who am I supposed to get to accompany me to the wedding said Eric sulking. Maybe I can get .... I sad weakly Just leave I'll figure it out myself said Eric shutting his door behind him. Hmm the storm is picking up can you calm down. What do you mean calm down we just picked you all up yesterday what's going on ? Well not actually but I can't talk to you if you can't control the weather. What are you even talking about I say aggravatly. As a bolt of lightning just misses him. Control might not be your strong suit but if you're aim was any better I would sizzle a bit. If I tap dance to lightning strikes would it improve your mood just a little Lucas smiled. I couldn't not laugh even though tears. Look we are different and their are a lot of things we really need to talk about. Can we rush this next encounter with coral. Carla I interrupted Carla is her name. Carla see the thing is it has been 3 weeks and that's really the lightest part of this whole thing I'm not supposed to be telling you. The Strom lets up again but the temperature drops 2 more degrees. Good I really need you to keep your head until I get you back to the house. And if you could just not tell them I told you anything that would be amazing. How has it been three weeks did I hit my head or something. Well there was the storm that you crushed the house with Lucas said laughing. What are you talking about I didn't I don't what. Ok I'm going to show you something and I want you to keep a clear mind. He snaps his finger and a rose appears. Here a rose for you. Oh come on you don't think I'm going to fall for a cheap magicians trick do you? What does that have to do with anything. Ok princess he points and says something under his breath. The maple tree burst into magnolia blooms. What the f**k I say shocked that's not possible. Anything is possible if you know what you want and have rh negative blood he answered nonchalantly. Wait so I can do that too... Well sorta I can't tell you anymore right now. Why not I demand feeling a combination of excitement curiosity confusion and aggravation. Because I need you to control your emotions better. Plus your supposed to be saying bye to Chloe you said. Carla I respond annoyed we are here 2106 Spaulding Dr. Ugh she's going to hate me it's been 3 weeks I told her I would be back the next day.
