For Bear. For Alex. For Dix.
These six words, on loop through Jordan's head all day. It was the only thing to keep him from flinging himself off a cliff whenever Aven entered his head or used him as a puppet. How he longed to be himself, no strings attached. No faking a smile and no keeping himself from breaking down whenever Dix looked at him like that or when he could sense Alex seeing through his mask.
Figure it out Alex, figure it out and save me.
No, he shouldn't think like that. He can't just expect Alex to swoop in and save him. Jeez, how does she do it? Her life? All the responsibility is on her shoulders. No one elses, just hers. It can't be easy, yet she's still trying to break the ice and see through his mask and trying to see him. Not a controlled fake him, the real Jordan. The one who orders the most at lunch, the one who has a good time, the one you can talk to.
For Bear. For Alex. For Dix.
For Bear. For his best friend since day one at Akarnae. For the kind, smart, sensitive friend who will joke around with you till the day's end. For Alex. For the Freyan girl lost in the Ezera forest. For the one who takes one for the team and puts everyone ahead of herself. And then for Dix. For this reason, Jordan will make it through this. For the lonely princess with the warmest smile and brightest eyes. For the girl of his dreams. For all of them, he will make it. For them, he could do it a thousand times more.
For Bear. For Alex. For Dix.
For his chosen family.
