Remind Me Of The Bad Times

Chapter 4: I'm Going Back To 2008

School became depressing and quite dull after that. I tried to distract myself but I felt guilty for doing nothing. Yeah I got good grades and stuff, but Lexi. I just... can't. I want to help her, she's my best friend! Though honestly, I don't know how to help. My life is already busy with school and I'm trying to study helicopters, but I really want to help Lexi. At this point, I just wish everything was just like how it was before. It was much happier then. I wouldn't have to worry about what happened to Lexi, because back then she was fine. 

But I know everything will be fine! There always has to be the negative so we appreciate the positive much more! Plus, though the world can be evil, there's always good. There might be a time just like 2008, just that we are older... and there will be a new child Lexi has to watch. But even then, that's still quite positive. She's just going through a bad time. It will all be alright soon. I'm sure of it.

But Jack... he didn't think so. It's odd, he usually would think hopefully, but not this time. Jack thought everything would change extremely negatively and it will never go back to what it was once was. Jack seemed to be really upset from all this information. He then stated that Lexi never told who forced her. That's... a good point. But Jack knew... he overheard them. He stated it was her own grandfather. 

What!? That's gross, and... depressing. I mean I never believed it was Rupert, specially since that's out of character for him, but I didn't expect her grandfather. Yeah, he was a... jerk, but I didn't expect that from him. It's just so... wrong.  But what do I do? Call the cops? Is there even enough evidence? Well... I guess I was wrong that it will go back to normal completely... but I know that it will still be positive! 

After school, I went over to my dad, Galeforce, to ask what I should do. He... didn't really give me any advice. He just stared at me, then said to let the adults handle it. I don't want it to be handled by the adults. Lexi isn't an adult, and yet she will still have to deal with this... but he's right, I guess I should. I kept checking on Jack and Lexi over on the weekends. Lexi was just... depressing, while Jack was actually trying to reverse time. He kept reading books on how to "reset timelines" and "how to kill someone". I just left them alone, and went to studying school. I hate studying, but it's not like there's really anything else to do. 

Eventually winter break came, and that's when Lexi told me to not visit her until after her baby was delievered. She stated that it was because her due date was getting very close, and would be very uncomfortable during that time period. I understood, it was awkward to even visit her now anyways. I can't wait for winter break, I can finally get a break from school and all this guilt I should probably not even have. Hopefully this time, I'm right about everything becoming happier again.
