Bo woke up refreshed, rattled and guilt ridden. She called for Kenzi but remembered she had moved out.
"Well shit", she said silently
"I couldn't have heard him, I don't even know him".
Deep down she hoped that hearing her dad was in her nightmare. Her phone started to vibrate. Dyson needed to see her. She took a shower and screamed under the running water.
She met Dyson at the Dal.
"Dyson before we get into anything I wanted to apologize to you. I know sleeping with you when you have unrequited feelings for me was not fair".
Dyson looked stunned this was not the reason he called her there.
"Thank you Bo, I accept your apology".
"Now, tell me Dyson. Did you know where Lauren was when I asked about her and when she called you didn't tell her I was missing?
"Bo I-
"Yes or no?
"Yes. I knew Bo. But I thought I could keep her safe".
"Dyson! You know how important Lauren is to me".
"Bo".
"Bo nothing Dyson. Geez I thought we were better friends than this".
"Bo you slept with me over and over and over again. Is that a friend?
Bo snorted "Oh please, it's not like you weren't enjoying yourself. You always knew about me and Lauren".
Dyson could not deny it. He seemed to be turning red in the face.
"Dyson we have huge trust issues now. Not telling me about Lauren could have gotten her killed".
"Bo I just wanted a little time with you. I wanted to see if being with me could make you feel our love again".
"Dyson there is no our love, not like that anyways. You know I am a succubus. I can sleep with anyone without being in love with them. I told you that I am still in love with Lauren.
"Bo I wanted to tell-
"Don't Dyson. Don't give me that this wasn't your secret to tell. You were the only one that knew where she was".
"Lauren has gone out of her way to help you. Even when she knew you didn't like her. Hell she saved you from Taft and helped with the Una Mens. That alone is reason enough for you to care about her and her well being".
"Look Bo this is not why I called you here".
"No?
"Well this is why I came here".
"You knew I was in a relationship with Lauren and you slept with me knowing you had your love back. You didn't even respect me enough to tell me that".
"Bo I'm sorry"
"Did you ever apologize to Lauren?
"No I didn't"
"I think you should and soon".
"Bo she's Dark Fae I can't-
"Dyson it's only an apology and you owe her many".
"And I do too", sighed Bo.
"Bo..."
Bo looked at him, he looked as if he'd seen a ghost.
"Dyson?
"Maybe you should sit down".
"What?
"Geez Dyson, what is wrong now?
"Bo-".
Dyson looked as if he was scared to talk to her.
"Just tell me Dyson".
"Bo it's not my secret to tell".
"Don't go there with me again Dyson. If you know something I don't, it is your secret too".
"Aife".
Bo was becoming angry.
"She's alive"
"What? Bo stood up and looked like she was ready to kill him.
"I said she's alive Bo".
Bo grabbed him by the throat and held him up in the air. Her eyes were flashing from brown to blue
"Bo wait, let me finish".
She put him down.
"Start talking".
"Just before I found you in the woods, Trick had to put her in a mental institution and she's been there since then".
"For once in your life, man up and stop putting everything on Trick".
"Bo I'm telling you the truth".
"Lauren was right. You are filled with secrets".
"Wait. She doesn't know too does she?
"No only me, Trick and Kenzi".
"Kenzi?
She picked him up again
"Bullshit. Kenzi wouldn't keep that from me. You better keep talking. Oh and by the way I know about your kiss with her. At least she had the balls to tell me".
"We were trying to protect you Bo".
"Did you not hear me say bullshit?
"I never needed protecting".
"Stop the macho crap and tell me".
"Bo I'm telling you. She's alive and in a mental institution at Trick's doing".
Just then Trick walked in.
"What the hell is going on here?
Bo dropped Dyson.
With tears in her eyes, she turned to Trick and asked is it true?
"Bo is what true? Trick asked
"Is my mother alive and in an institution?
Trick hung his head, sighed and said "Yes she is".
"Damn it" said Bo as she threw a bar stool over the counter breaking a few bottles of liquor
"Isabeau!
"Do not Isabeau me Trick", you and Dyson and apparently Kenzi kept this from me".
"Bo I'm sorry. She's not well" said Trick.
"She could have been better by now had you told me, I could have been helping her. Now she's alone and likely feeling unloved"
"Bo, I did what I thought was best".
"You did what you thought was best. Dyson did what he thought was best. Neither of you thought of what was best for me".
"I am tired of the lies but they stop right now".
"Bo look", said Dyson
"No the both of you look. This won't be so easily forgiven, If I ever do. You kept my mother from me. You better pray nothing horrible has happened to her in there".
Now where is she?
They both stood silent.
"Where is she?
Trick didn't say a word but wrote down the address.
"I'm going to see my mother. Don't either of you follow me, you've done enough.
Just then Kenzi strolled in. She looked at Bo
"What's going on?
"Come with me".
Bo grabbed her jacket and they both rushed out.
Lauren returns to the story soon. :)
