WHO: Nacola and Garrett
WHEN: January 15
WHERE: Nacola's room.
WHAT: Just discussing the poison GB spewed.
RATING: I'm not even gonna guess.
Nacola had tried really really hard not to react to the GB post. She knew how to navigate gossip and rumors. She knew how to deal with caustic comments and cruelty. Or at least she thought she did. Something had changed in the angel princess over the last few months. Losing her beloved guardian and her older sister had been a devastating blow. Often, Nacola still felt the ache for Lucas. She could feel him, she was sure. The grief was like a living thing inside her still, but she had decided to pick her head up and try moving forward. It was what they would have wanted. It was what she had to do. But she didn't have to do it in the meek submissive way she'd always done. Nacola was still sweet, of course, but part of her had changed irreparably. Part of her had grown up. And now a very large part of her didn't really care what other people thought. She was going to do what was right, do what she believed, do what she wanted without worrying every single second if it was the perfect thing; the right thing.
She was going to grow up.
That wasn't to say Nacola was hard, it was impossible for that to happen, but she had stopped worrying and being so insecure. Life was too short. Seeing those words, though, made her feel like she was out of control again. GB had accused two people she cared about of discussing her like she was some spoil of war. It was implied that they had discussed something that she found to be very important, very personal. Nacola knew she loved Garrett, even if she hadn't told him yet, and she even knew she wanted to have sex with him. But she didn't want that decision taking away from her. It was hers. Not theirs, not GB's, just hers. Luckily, they both had been quick to dispel the false words before the old feelings of insecurity and doubt had wormed in too far. Nacola figured she and Garrett would discuss it further eventually, but at least for now she felt....okay.
It was only a day later now, and even with Garrett's reassurances, she still found worries nagging at her mind. Nacola had been out with a friend had a store opening, and was stripping off the wedges she wore with her outfit, when there was a knock on the door. Confident in the fact that Adrian wouldn't let anyone dangerous get so close to her, as much as that thought felt like a stab to her heart, she spoke loudly so whoever it was could hear. "Come in!"
