So I met Meg at the mall and after sorting out that no I wasn't going to hit her, and no I wasn't mad at her or Jack she bought me a bathing suit and I promised to teach her to swim...or at least to not fear the water.
Jack showed up and I pulled him aside to apologize. I also told him how things went with Harry and he promised to tell anyone. I asked what was bothering him cause I knew it went deeper than being worried about me. Turns out his parents were too busy to be parents. They saw him as an inconvience. Apollo never came to see him after his visitation and so he got his hopes up only to have them break...but that has a lot to do with Zee, Lizzy, and I being here. He said sometimes he thinks I had it easier dreaming my parents cared so I told him my past. How I was abandoned and have known since I was little I was unwanted and unloved. He and I aren't so different, although I can see my parents now and Apollo can not see him as long as my sisters and I are here. I need to talk to Da about that. There has to be a way for Apollo to come see Jack with us still being here...
I told him nothing else he can count me as family and we'd fill in each other's holes. Hey gave me a hug and Meg came out. I think she thought something was going on...oi this will be a long talk I am sure.
The next day I took Meg to the beach I hung out at and got her used to the water. It took an hour but I got her comfortable enough to play in the surf so that was good. She got me talking about Zack...and I told her how I had learned to live with it. She's one of those 'happily ever after' girls...and I don't buy into that. I really care for Harry but I don't think will be kind enough to let me be happy with him, we'll see. I calmed Meg's fears about her tattoo and took her home. Got myself showered and went to the range....I'd be lying if I said it was just to practice fighting...
