WHAT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS CAUSED LEXIE TO SHUT HERSELF OFF A BIT, ONLY TALKING TO MILES—-but even then, she was still closed off.

"hey" miles gently said as he leaned down beside his bed, she was just staring ahead at the wall before she shifted her eyes to face his,

"hi" she whispered,

"i got lots of food and drinks" he said, he could see her eyes light up a bit,

"like what?" she asked,

"like ice cream, pizza, sushi, and lemonade, all your favorites" he said with a small smile, she looked up at him with a sad but thankful look,

"thank you" she said as she sat up and outstretched her arms for a hug, he wrapped his arms around hers, hugging her.

he leaned forward and pushed her back on the bed before getting in and laying next to her,

"did you get cookie dough ice cream?" she asked him, he nodded,

"of course, and vanilla because i know that those are your two favorites" he said with a small smile,

"and you got the strawberry kind of lemonade?" she asked him, he nodded once again.

she bursted into tears,

"what— why are you crying?" he asked out of concern,

"b-because you know my favorites! when you know my favorites i feel so loved, miles you love me!" she said while crying, he looked over to her before speaking,

"i hate to be a dick and ask this, but are you on your period?" he asked as he stared at her,

she nodded before crying harder,

"no no no no, no more crying. i love you, yes. and we are going to watch movies and eat all night, we can do whatever you want to do" he said as he wiped her tears and cleaned her face up,

"really?" she softly said,

"really" he leaned in and kissed her,

except she was staring in the mirror crying...

...because one knee cap was slightly higher than the other one.

"i-it's buh—b-broken" she cried as she pointed ahead at it in the mirror, miles was standing behind her trying not to laugh,

"it's fine" he said, biting back his laughter that he desperately wanted to let out,

"b-but, it's higher than the other one, WHY?!" she furiously said as she stared at it with an intense look,

"i don't know, you're fine lex, time for snacks" he said as he scooped her down and picked her up bridal style,

just then timothee and iris walked into the room, to see lexie wailing about her kneecaps and miles putting her to bed,

"lady things" miles grumbled as he laid her down, she stared down at her knees again,

"GUYS LOOK, isn't it higher than the other one?!" she pointed at her left kneecap, timothee and iris shook their heads before they both spoke,

"no" they said at the same time,

"wh— am— am i going insane?" she looked up at them with tears in her eyes,

"what? no no—" miles began saying,

"—AM I EVEN REAL?!" she cried before letting her body fall back on the bed and crying loudly,

"you, have fun with that, while we..." timothee began saying before pulling on iris' arm towards the door,
