Fried Hair✅

Chapter Seven

It was nearly two and a half weeks later after Knox had found out through Alexa that Lacey was his soulmate…well possibly. Knox himself had found that she was constantly on his mind so much so that he secretly watched her videos. It was all something that helped him get to know her until he could officially meet her. Over the time it took waiting, Alexa had caught Knoz watching Lacey’s videos on multiple occasions while she did his hair.

It has also been nearly two weeks that Alexa had tried convincing her to come to work with her so that she could meet the group. And here she was laying beside Lacey on her bed, Deuce with his head laying on top of her chest. Lacey’s hands were carding though his fur, it had been an hour since he had alerted on the early signs of her attack and so here the two were still laying in bed, Alexa beside them. Lacey was fine now and Alexa needed to get both their minds off of what had just happened.

“Have you thought any more about meeting them?” She asked.

Lacey shook her head. “Not really, I’m still not so sure about it.”

“Oh come on.” She begged with a soft smile. “I know you’d like the chance to get to know them. Please?!”

Lacey shook her head with a small laugh. “Let me think about it a little more.”

“I’ve let you think about it for two weeks now.” She pouted, propping her head up with her hand and turning to face her best friend. “You need to actually answer me for once.”

“Fine! Fine, I’ll go.” Lacey rolled her eyes, finally taking the time to sit up and pushing at Deuce’s head slightly for him to move. “Thank you buddy, I’m fine now.”

“Yay!” Alexa giggled. “You’ll come with me tomorrow then and I won’t take no for an answer. Now I just need to text them and let them know that you’re coming.”

“That’s fine but I’ll only stay a little bit unless I can record a live for my viewers and bring Deuce.” Lacey told her.

“Deuce is fine but that’s not fair on the recording part.”

“Make it fair…please…for me.” Lacey pleaded. Sure, Deuce helped but at times he wasn’t enough or other times she needed an extra piece to ground her.

“You're doing this just for the views aren’t you.” Alexa said not understanding the double meaning.

“Not really.” Lacey told her. “I could care less who sees what I have to film but you know that behind the camera is where I feel safest and I don’t think Deuce will be enough tomorrow.”

“You have me too, you won’t have to worry about anything. Nor will you have to act shy around them with me around.” Alexa said, and Lacey loved that she could rely on her best friend like that but sometimes she didn’t know how to handle the attacks.

Lacey smiled softly, shaking her head. “I know I have you there if I need you but it’s the same way with Deuce, I can’t always control how I feel. That camera helps me forget about those feelings even when I’m not in control. Please, Alexa, the camera keeps me grounded…you know it has since…”

She sighed. “I know bestie, I know. You don’t need to keep bringing it up when it still hurts you to talk about.”

Lacey smiled sadly, reaching over for Deuce. “I know, the problem being is you know I tend to forget who knows the little fact about me or not, but that camera is my safe haven…it always will be.”

“I’ll talk to them, okay?”

“Thank you.” She reached over to wrap her arms around Alexa in a hug. “If it makes things better, I won’t make it into a live nor will I post it anywhere. Just let me record.”
