Day 27 4 14

“I told you not to, and you did anyway, now I’m asking,”  Lexx didn’t move, gazing hopefully at Chel, unsure what to make of her expression.  “Because, I don’t know.”  He searched for the words to describe what it meant to him, stumbling over the right way to phrase it.  “I want to feel loved and connected.” The admission broke Chel. Her nervous smile faded into a pained grimace.  She squeezed her eyes tight and tried to fight the sudden flood of emotion from coming out.  Her eyes burned and the lump in her throat lurched upward.  Everything seemed to fall apart.

  1. You know, when she starts crying and yelling at him, that would be a good time for Vic to show up and see Lexx standing over Chel. Imagine seeing your daughter sitting on the ground crying while her boyfriend stands over her.

    Yessss, that would be delicious. Riley and Damian could conspire to keep Chel away from watching the battles. I think Vic would agree with this decision.

    1. Half naked boyfriend…

      1. Right. Her half naked boyfriend with face tattoos. and a history of self harm and mental illness.

        I think I would actually like to see his reaction to Lexx standing over the crying Chel, fists clenched, and looking very, very unhappy. Chel just decided to sit down and cry, and Lexx is clenching his fists because he’s angry at himself.

  2. I disagree. I think, just once, this needs to be where Chel gives Lexx comfort. It doesn’t need to lead anywhere, and maybe she can admit to herself that it is okay to love him, even if that means tomorrow won’t be okay. Clearly she feels for him, and it hurts her that he was hurt, but maybe in this moment they can be vulnerable together safely? I don’t know.

  3. Time for a hug? I sure need one right about now.
