greenisLOVE:: Hey. I got your message. Is everything okay? goldenflutist:: Hey Mace goldenflutist:: No goldenflutist:: Not at all in the slightest greenisLOVE:: What's wrong? goldenflutist:: You know that Jacen kid? greenisLOVE:: Yeah, I think so. greenisLOVE:: What about him goldenflutist:: Apparently he likes me goldenflutist:: Like. REALLY likes me. Macy. He apparently calls me his goddess greenisLOVE:: What? greenisLOVE:: You're joking. goldenflutist:: I wish I were greenisLOVE:: That's kind of cute. Isn't he about fifteen? goldenflutist:: Seventeen greenisLOVE:: Oh, well, still. It's probably just a harmless crush goldenflutist:: And I would've thought it was cute too goldenflutist:: Except that stupid anonymous blogger posted all that suggestive stuff about me and David and now his heart is broken and he won't come out of his room greenisLOVE:: As much as I feel for this kid, it's not your fault what that blogger posted. goldenflutist:: Well yeah, I guess goldenflutist:: But why didn't I see this coming?! goldenflutist:: We should've had this talk BEFORE his world had to come crashing down goldenflutist:: I mean. I spent some time with him. I even invited him over to my house since he kind of knows about my whole healing thing so I said I'd try to help him with these headaches he's been getting goldenflutist:: So then last night I got this scathing message from Josie telling me to stay away from her brother or else greenisLOVE:: Well, from what I hear, Josie is a piece of work. goldenflutist:: Yeah goldenflutist:: But he's her twin brother, you know? goldenflutist:: I'd want to protect Alfie from something like that, too greenisLOVE:: Yeah, but it's not really your fault. It's not like you were leading him on. goldenflutist:: Not that I'd know what's going on with him considering that he's decided to not talk to me ever again greenisLOVE:: For a 17 year old to assume that a 21 year old is goingto be interested in them is just kind of foolish greenisLOVE:: He had to know it was just a crush. goldenflutist:: Well... yeah... goldenflutist:: I don't know goldenflutist:: The more I think about it, the more I wonder if I WAS leading him on goldenflutist:: Not consciously, obviously goldenflutist:: But God he must be hurting so much goldenflutist:: And I can't do ANYTHING greenisLOVE:: This is part of growing up. Teenage heartbreak, while upsetting, isn't the end of the world. goldenflutist:: But what if he does something to himself or... something like that? greenisLOVE:: There's people in third world countries starving, there's opression and genocide, WE HAVE POWERS. This is not the end of the world for him. greenisLOVE:: What would he do? Do you think that he's unstable enouch to hurt himself? It looks like he's got a pretty good support line with the way his sister approaced you goldenflutist:: Yeah... and I'm pretty sure he has a bunch of friends too goldenflutist:: I don't know goldenflutist:: I just feel so bad goldenflutist:: I think they're all blaming me and I didn't really mean to do anything greenisLOVE:: Well, it's okay to feel bad. I feel bad, too. But don't beat yourself up over something that isn't your fault that you can't have prevented. goldenflutist:: Good advice goldenflutist:: How about your stuff? goldenflutist:: Here I am rattling on about this teenage drama and you've got real problems. How are you? greenisLOVE:: Teenage drama can be real problems too. greenisLOVE:: I'm okay. I think I'm going to move out, though. The house is too empty and my mother is really preoccupied. I think she might be happy for me to get out of her hair-- not that I'm really in her hair to begin with. greenisLOVE:: I just think it's time for me to move on. The only thing really keeping me home was Jamie. I was going to move out when he went to college anyways. greenisLOVE:: I just need to find a roommate. greenisLOVE:: ...You wouldn't be interested, would you? goldenflutist:: In being your roommate? greenisLOVE:: Yeah goldenflutist:: Oh man goldenflutist:: That would almost be like a dream, wouldn't it? goldenflutist:: I mean goldenflutist:: I moved back home because my mom and dad badgered me to goldenflutist:: And to be honest it was kind of lonely on campus all the time goldenflutist:: But... I don't really think mom and dad are getting along so well. And obviously my brother hates me goldenflutist:: Maybe it's time that I just get out of there greenisLOVE:: Your parents aren't getting along? goldenflutist:: They've been sniping at each other lately and I have no idea why greenisLOVE:: Oh. Well, hopefully they work things out. goldenflutist:: Yeah... goldenflutist:: But what about your other stuff? That whole... gold thing? greenisLOVE:: Yeah. I don't know. Noah is trying to convince me to use it for my own personal gain. Like turning stuff to gold and cashing it in.. I don't think that's fair. goldenflutist:: Ugh. Noah. He obviously doesn't understand you AT ALL goldenflutist:: I liked him better when he was nice and disappeared and not around to complicate your life greenisLOVE:: Nice and disappeared. Ha goldenflutist:: Yeah I know I know. No grammatical sense greenisLOVE:: I liked him better when we were dating. goldenflutist:: Sigh greenisLOVE:: Not that it matters. As long as he is the way he is and I'm the way I am, we won't work. So it's fine. goldenflutist:: Boys are stupid greenisLOVE:: That high school teacher has been hanging around me. greenisLOVE:: Seth. greenisLOVE:: What do you make of him? goldenflutist:: What? Oh man Mace goldenflutist:: Get away goldenflutist:: He's sooooo creepy! greenisLOVE:: Jamie warned me about him, but he's been relatively nice to me. greenisLOVE:: He bought me a pizza once. goldenflutist:: I heard he hits on high school girls greenisLOVE:: Really? From who? goldenflutist:: Some music majors I know with sisters in his class. Apparently it's subtle, but it's there greenisLOVE:: Huh. Weird. Well, I really hope that's not the case. He seemed harmless if not a little...overbearing. goldenflutist:: I hope you know what you're doing, Mace greenisLOVE:: I'm not doing anything. greenisLOVE:: I haven't even seen him or talked to him in a couple weeks. greenisLOVE:: Besides, I've got a feeling that if Noah knew...he wouldn't be too happy. goldenflutist:: Why? goldenflutist:: Why does it matter what Noah thinks? greenisLOVE:: It doesn't. greenisLOVE:: I just don't like making him angry. goldenflutist:: I guess greenisLOVE:: It's not a big deal, I guess. I don't know. So how's your brother, anyways? goldenflutist:: Moody goldenflutist:: I don't even know what I did, Macy goldenflutist:: We were talking about the weirdness of us all having, you know, abilities goldenflutist:: (Annie's implied that she has one but she won't tell us until all three of us are together) goldenflutist:: And I said that it didn't just run in our family goldenflutist:: And then he got super-ticked at me that I wouldn't tell him who or what greenisLOVE:: Yeah, that sounds like a mood. I hope he's okay. goldenflutist:: If it's a mood, it's lasted for a good week. greenisLOVE:: I wonder if it's just normal puberty moods or if he's getting moods from his power. Mine is giving me a heck of a mood. goldenflutist:: I wish it'd stop, whatever it is greenisLOVE:: Buy him a Playboy. Ha. Kidding. goldenflutist:: Haha goldenflutist:: I don't know if that'd stop it or just make it worse greenisLOVE:: Probably couldn't hurt goldenflutist:: I dunno. With the mood Alfie's in? I bet it would greenisLOVE:: Besides that, has he been acting strangely? goldenflutist:: Well if you count the fact that he could probably pick up the family car in one hand, yeah goldenflutist:: I obviously haven't been able to talk to him about it much from what I've read in the journal comments his seems kind of flustered about the whole me and David thing goldenflutist:: Not that were a thing greenisLOVE:: Yeah. What are you guys? goldenflutist:: I have NO idea goldenflutist:: I mean... that night that I went over to his house was amazing goldenflutist:: But we haven't really talked about... being a thing greenisLOVE:: David doesn't seem like the dating type goldenflutist:: I know goldenflutist:: What's wrong with me, Mace? greenisLOVE:: Nothing at all! goldenflutist:: I have no business finding him attractive. Much less kissing him! greenisLOVE:: YOU HAVE LOTS OF BUSINESS FINDING HIM ATTRACTIVE AND KISSING HIM. AND HE HAS LOTS OF BUSINESS DOING THE SAME WITH YOU. goldenflutist:: Whoa! What's with the capslock? greenisLOVE:: I hit it by accident. Sorry. greenisLOVE:: But I was also kind of shouting that at you. goldenflutist:: But Macy... am I any better than Jacen if I just set myself up for heartbreak? There's no possible way he could like me like that. You said it yourself. He's not the dating type greenisLOVE:: I said he didn't SEEM like the dating type. greenisLOVE:: He very well could be. Didn't he date Natalie for a while? goldenflutist:: Yeah, but I don't even know for how long or how it worked out greenisLOVE:: Maybe you should ask her. It can't hurt to know. goldenflutist:: Yeah... she did say he was a good boyfriend, but I don't even really know what that means greenisLOVE:: Well, from what you've told me, it sounds like he likes you. So maybe just see what happens? Don't set yourself up for heartbreak but don't be so down about it to the point of pushing him away, you know? greenisLOVE:: Kind of just tread carefully. Leave breadcrumbs, that such. goldenflutist:: Breadcrumbs? greenisLOVE:: I don't know. But you know what I mean goldenflutist:: Sort of greenisLOVE:: Like, obviously be careful with him and know what you're doing. Don't get so caught up in the novelty of it all that you lose your head. Not that I think you will. I just mean watch out for yourself. goldenflutist:: Ugh. I'm afraid I already have, Lex goldenflutist:: That night I spent at his house was just... I don't know. It was so fairytale greenisLOVE:: Oh boy. goldenflutist:: I know I know goldenflutist:: I'm an idiot greenisLOVE:: No you're not. greenisLOVE:: Not at all. goldenflutist:: I hope that if we ever go out again it won't get splattered all over the internet greenisLOVE:: Well, hopefully not. Just be aware of who's around you. But I mean, this town is small so they need something to entertain them. Unfortunately, who's dating who is a big topic of interest around here goldenflutist:: Yeah... and I guess it's kind of a big topic of interest everywhere else, too greenisLOVE:: Very true. It's pretty stupid how much people care about that sort of thing. greenisLOVE:: David doesn't seem like the type to mind the attention, though goldenflutist:: I don't think he does. I think he's kinda used to ti goldenflutist:: *it greenisLOVE:: Maybe thats what it is goldenflutist:: what? greenisLOVE:: That he's used to it. greenisLOVE:: He certainly got a lot of attention in highschool and college, from what I remember goldenflutist:: Ugh, don't remind me. I know there's a reason why he was so good at kissing me, but I don't even want to think about all the practice he's had... greenisLOVE:: Well I didn't mean it like that, but you're right, too. goldenflutist:: You know Mace, maybe we should move out. Fresh start and all that greenisLOVE:: Yeah. That's exactly how I feel. greenisLOVE:: I'm sure it won't be hard to find a two bedroom apartment for cheap goldenflutist:: I still need to talk to my parents, but for now, count me in as a roommate greenisLOVE:: Okay, sounds great. I'll start looking. goldenflutist:: Okay. I'll look too. greenisLOVE:: Alright. Well, the streets are calling to me. They want to be cleaned. I'm going to go do that. I'll talk to you soon. Feel better! Don't stress too much about Jacen! goldenflutist:: I'll try not to. Night Macy! greenisLOVE:: Night!
