I don't own Twisted. I just came up with this while waiting for the next episode. Enjoy!

Lacey sat in her room staring at nothing really. Her mind ran with outcomes and possibilities. You would think in high school a kiss wouldn't mean much. Yet here she is thinking of his lips and not Archie.

While the list of excuses goes on the fact is that she wanted to kiss him. When they were kids they always had a connection. Some things you just couldn't tell Jo. Like the two of them had to protect her from herself. That became impossible after Danny left.

Damn there was his name. Danny delicious, dangerous, sexy, protective, most importantly off limits Danny. All the lies in the world couldn't explain the gazes when they pasted by one another. How the atmosphere changed the closer they were to each other.

Maybe if she was single. No if she wasn't so focused on an image that was killing her to keep. Then she could just not care. Say fuck the school and town, but Lacey wasn't like that. It may have made her a bitch to others but she cared so much. Not caring turned back the clock and she couldn't do that again.

Finally sick of the silence she turned on the radio. Anywhere by Evanescence was playing. The song was pretty but the words spoke to her soul. For a moment she allowed all the possibilities and outcomes to consume her.

~*~*Daydreaming~*~

Danny knocking on her window saying he can't take anymore. Without another thought she takes her keys and they just leave. Nothing but them and highway but they can't stay on the road. So they ditch the car and start walking until they see an abandon house.

There they can start over without worrying about murders, jail, Jo, cops, ex's. In that little house they start what they dreamed of a long time ago. A happy life that their parents couldn't have for themselves; truly happy loving each other and not letting little things get in the way.

~*~End~*~

It all seemed so simple if they just runaway. Even though it sounded like a nice idea there was no way in hell she going to do it. Still the idea was nice.

For a moment the thought of sending him this song crossed her mind. But that would make things worse showing him she cared just as much as he did. A tear slide down her face, high school was so overrated.

Hearing her phone ring she picks it up without thinking. "Hello"

"I know what you did Lace. I'm not letting that freak take anyone else from me." Archie…Shit she didn't need this right now. More importantly how the hell did he find out?

"What are you talking about?" Her best option was to play it cool. If he was talking about something else then she was in the clear.

"So you kiss Socio and thought I wouldn't find out."

"Archie really it was a mistake I'm sorry." It was funny how easy lies were coming out of her mouth these days.

"No I knew it was coming." The fuck came out of her mouth but only in a whisper, "You two are always looking at each other like no one is watching. Shit you're fucking him with your eyes. I hate that shit." Archie just went on and on about him hating everything that led up to her kissing Danny.

"What do you want me to say? I said sorry that's all I can give you." It's not like he was so innocent. Lacy couldn't count the times he broke his neck looking at some girls butt. Really what did he do when he was drunk with the guys? Uuuhhh!

"Yeah but that's not all I'm giving him." That statement sounded a little too crazy for her liking. He was up to something.

"What are you talking about?...Archie…?" He'd hung up on Lace and she was more scared for Danny than anything. If he got into a fight… that would be it even if he was just defending himself.

Picking up the phone she called Jo.

"Jo look I need you to make sure that Danny doesn't come to school. Please" Her voice was cracking and she was crying something affable.

"Why what's going on?" Lacy never called her, to call in tears it must have been important.

"I don't know but Archie is talking crazy. I think me may start a fight, I don't want Danny to get hurt."

"Okay I'll keep him away." It sounded easy enough.

A thought hit Lacy and she knew she had to warn Jo. "And please don't tell him why. He might come anyway."

"Yeah guess saving Danny is going to be our thing." Little by little things felt like old times. At least this is was the closest Jo would get.

"For once we agree." She didn't mean for it to sound bitchy, but it seemed a lot of things turned out that way.

Lacy heard Jo's dad and hung up the phone. Whipping her eyes she laid on her bed knowing she wouldn't sleep. Not with everything that happen. All she could do was pray that Danny wouldn't go to school.

Just something that came to me while listening to Anywhere by Evanescence. Hope you enjoy it!
