"I'm going to go find her," Irina grabbed her keys, "Your father should be here any minute with Lara. She's staying with us tonight. I'll call him from the car and fill him in on what happened. Will you please order some Chinese for dinner tonight as it seems it's going to be slightly chaotic here for a little while? I know that you and Nicolai have to be hungry." She kissed Nadia's cheek when she nodded. "I love you and I'll be right back!"

Jack reacted about as well as Irina expected him to on the phone and before she ever told him what had happened, reminded him beforehand that Lara was in the car with him so be careful how he reacted to what she was going to tell him. She called Max and he informed her that he was now watching Lena from a safe distance at Union Station though she was very withdrawn and he was worried about her, never having 'seen her like this' before.

The response made Irina fly to the train station. It felt almost odd and sacrilegious to come into the space Sydney had often come to think about 'her' and how she'd messed with her life and she felt a ghostly shudder run through her as she walked up the gorgeous emerald green tile floor towards Lena sitting in the front row of the large booth chairs.

Irina sat down in the chair next to her and held her while she cried softly into her neck over the boy trying to destroy her reputation because he felt threatened she had destroyed his by breaking up with him. After hearing what he'd said, Irina was hearing her body call for blood and had to remind herself to stay calm though she fought it with a dark sense of humor.

"Do you want me to break his arms?" She asked holding Lena's face and wiping her tears when her daughter had calmed some, "I did that to Katya's old boyfriend once when he broke her heart. I warned him but he didn't listen. Do you want me to break Parker's arms?" She asked again with a dark smile getting Lena to chuckle softly and shake her head no. "What about cutting them off and beating him with them? Would that make you feel better? I know it would make me feel better. You take one arm and I take the other, it could be fun!"

"You're twisted and funny and I love you, Mama." Lena laughed and threw her arms around Irina thinking about that image of her mother and herself beating Parker with his own arms.

Jack and Irina wanted to have a conversation with Parker and his parents that night but Lena was too upset and asked them to just leave it alone for now and that school was only a month from being over and then she'd leave and never have to see him anymore; but the following day at school was ten times worse than the day before and even the strongest resolve was beginning to crumble under the heavy taunting and slander.

Everywhere she turned guys were making some kind sexual gesture towards her and saying things, whispering in her ear from behind her in class with sexual descriptions and moans and groans while they thrust against their desk or brushed up behind her. By the end of the day everyone in the family's tensions were high.

"Enough, Parker!" Nicholas yelled at him soccer practice having had it with the boy's constant discussion and description of made up sexual encounters with his sister. "You're lying because she wouldn't sleep with you and it hurt your ego!"
