Chapter 11: love and support

Lexi was still feeling down. The talk she had with her mother didn't help. Lexi felt like she had be abandon by her own father. It had already had been at least a week since she had talked to her father. Now she was feeling abandon by her own father. Lexi was starting to slip into a slump. She hadn't left her apartment. Everything was now changing. She didn't want to believe that her Father abandon her but she had no choice. The guys were starting to worry about Lexi. Every time one of the guys texted her there would be no response. In all the years that had known Lexi none of them had ever seen her like this. They tried to call her but their calls went straight to voice mail. All four boys weren't sure what they could do to help her. Kendall's mom advised them to leave Lexi alone until she was ready to talk to them. That process seemed to take forever. One sunny morning Lexi decided to go outside and enjoy the sun. Her mother was very happy to see her daughter up and walking. She understood why Lexi was in a slump and she gave her space until Lexi was feeling better. Soon lexi was outside sitting under a large tree in the palm woods park. She didn't bring her guitar with her but instead she had a book. She didn't bring her guitar out because she didn't want to play it. She sat there in the quiet before her phone rang this time she answered it. The caller id said James Diamond. "Hi James said lexi quietly. "Hey Lexi how are you" asked James? I'm ok I guess I'm not even sure anymore" said Lexi quietly. "Lexi the guys and I have been trying to reach you we are worried about you said James. "I'm sorry James I just been in a slump and I didn't want you guys to know said Lexi. "Do you need someone to talk to asked James? I don't know "I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me but I guess I could use a friend right now said Lexi. "Where are you right now and I'll be there" said James? "I'm at the palm woods park sitting under the large oak tree "replied Lexi. Soon James was there. They sat there in silence until James finally spoke. "Lexi you know you can tell me anything and I promise that I won't tell the guys what you tell me" said James. "My dad doesn't want me, ok I know it sounds crazy but basically he gave up his part of the custody to my mom said Lexi sadly. Lexi that's not true your dad has been there for you no matter what you did. Like the time you fell during one of your dance recitals" explained James. "Yeah true but he should have given it a chance before he decided I was better off with my mom. "James I feel like I have been abandon by my own dad and I hate feeling this way so much "she said. James sat there listening to his friend talk about her feelings. At that moment he realized that she wasn't the little girl in the brides he had known. "Lexi I'm going to help you in any way that I can. Truthfully I hate seeing you like this exclaimed James. "I know I do too. I just don't know what to do said Lexi sadly. "Well first of all you have got to stop feeling sorry for yourself and I promise to help you if you ever need me said James smiling. "Deal I got to say James since you have been living here you defiantly changed because before you only cared about your singing and now you're a singer and I couldn't be more happier for you "said lexi. "Thank you Lexi and you shouldn't blame yourself for your dad messing up because he's the one who should be blaming himself for not getting to see you when he should said James. Suddenly lexi got up from where she was sitting and gave James the biggest hug she had ever given to anyone. "Thank you James I really needed this "said Lexi. "No problem I'm always here for you no matter what time or day it is laughed James. Soon James left and lexi was getting ready to leave the park as well. She was feeling a lot better than she had. Talking to James made her feel so much better. Again she was truly thankful for the guys because without them she wouldn't have the love or support she needed. That night she called Carlo, Kendall and Logan back to tell them that she was alright and that she was sorry that she hadn't called them sooner.
