"What do I do Lexi? My mother is just gone and my father is not holding it together. I worry about him, being all alone with nothing but his thoughts. And it certainly doesn't help that the whole town is talking about it," Alice mumbled into Lexi's shoulder once she had gotten the ability to speak.

Alice pulled away slightly so she could look Lexi in the eyes. "I thought that by burning her things I was getting back at her somehow, but really it doesn't change anything. It doesn't change what she did or the fact that my father is hurting. Why couldn't she have just given some kind of explanation?! Hell make up a reason why she had to go instead of just leaving! Does she not even care about my father enough to at least have that much decency?"

Alice was fuming now, the sadness leaving her again and a violent look going in her eyes. "I don't care that she's out of my life but my father....I don't know that I can help him through this Lexi. I don't know that I can convince him that it wasn't anything that he did. Every letter that I get he is just getting worse and worse."

Alice was quiet for a moment, a blankness returning to her eyes. "What if...." Alice trailed off, not wanting to think of that.

Lexi listened to Alice and realized... she had NO clue. She had broken down too many times to count... unable to deal. Her parents were gone and she had no idea where. "Honey. YOu need to focus on you. How do YOU feel about all of this? You are obviously hurting and while, yes, it is important to think about your father's well being, we don't want you to break too." Something like that? Sounded like sound advice to her.

"The truth is, I can't answer this for you. People do things without any logical reason that we can see sometimes. YOur mum is the only one that can answer those questions. And until you are prepared to ask and she prepared to talk I have no idea," she said in all honesty as she released Alice from the hug and tried to wipe her tears away best she could.

Smiling a bit sadly she shook her head. "The BEST advice I can give you is to focus on making yourself happy right now. Try to deal with it, work through it and get past it. Then you can help your dad deal," she offered with a nod. Yes, that was the key.
