Lance followed in after her, taking a deep breath. "Look, Jinora, I like you. You are different," he began to say "And you may think I sleep around, well yes I do." He said chuckling to himself. "But I think you need a friend, and I am that guy," he said pointing to himself.

Jinora looked at him and sat at her desk. "Fine. Go ahead and try to be my friend. I can't guarantee that I will always be nice. As you can tell my mood changes a lot."

Lance shrugged, girls had crazy mood swings and he didn't always out up with it, but he understood, sorta. "And moodswings are fine. If you are mean Ill laugh it off." He said smiling, he was good at laughing things off.

She nodded and pulled her purse, which had been hanging off of her chair, onto her lap. She rummaged through it until she found her neon orange pill bottle and opened it, popping a white pill into her mouth and dry swallowed, feeling instantly at ease. Even though the pill didn't effect her immediately, the knowledge of having it in her system gave her an extra feeling of security.

Lance watched her careful and was surprised when she pulled a pill vial out of her purse. He wondered what kind of pill she was taking. "So is that like your birth control?" He joked instantly regretting it, too late to take it back.

Jinora frowned and looked at him. "No." she snapped and hung her purse off of her chair. "It's something that's very important to my health and bad things happen if I don't take it."

"What bad things?" Lance asked thinking for sure if he continued to ask she would kick him out again.

Jinora clenched her jaw slightly. "Things that I don't want to talk about. Ever." she stood up from her desk and walked quietly to her bedroom window, trying to calm down.

Lance followed her with his eyes but his feet wouldn't move. "Why not? I mean I am a friend. We could both tell each other a secret." He said knowing he had a few that no one here besides Cassadee knew.

She shook her head and started to chew her nails. "Can't tell." she mumbled. "Not good things to say."

Lance took the few steps to stand right begin Honorable, "want me to start?" He asked placing his hand gently on her shoulder.

She couldn't help but flinch at his touch, looking down at her feet. "I can't guarantee that I'll say anything." she said softly.

Lance wasn't sure if he should take a chance, 'couldn't hurt to tell a little secret right?' He thought as get tried to figure out a small one. He left his hand her shoulder hoping she wouldn't mind or slap him away while he thought. "Not many people know this but, my grandma actually raised me," he finally spoke. He hardly talked about his private life at home, it just wasn't something he cared to share.

Jinora slowly looked up at him, her face blank. "My mother was a heroine addict who resorted to prostitution to pay for her drug habit. That's why I was born."

Lance wanst prepared for the secret he told her. His mouth fell open and a small gasped came out. His hand fell from her shoulder and fell to his side. He couldn't imagine having a parent who was addicted to drugs, though he didn't really know much about having parents at all since his mother killed herself. He wasn't sure how to respond and everytime he opened his mouth nothing would come out.

Jinora looked away, focusing her attention on the window that gave a brief glimpse of the ocean. She pressed her lips into a thin line, instantly regretting the decision to tell him her secret. Why oh why did she do that? she mentally scolded herself.

Lance let out a frustrated sigh, he was upset at himself that he wasn't able to say or do anything, he was frozen for some reason. He shook his head, thinking he was being stupid for freezing up like that. "My mom killed herself when I was five." He finally broke the silence, the tears forming behind his eyes again.

Jinora looked up at him, surprised for once. She bit her lip then slowly reached out and lightly touched his arm. "My mother died of an overdose a year ago...her boyfriend wouldn't let me come to the funeral...I understand part of your pain."

Lance looked at her and smiled "That must have sucked, not being able to attend your moms funeral." He said thinking that was a dick move of her moms boyfriend. He rubbed his eyes trying to will away the tears before they threatened to spill.

She just shook her head and reached up, gently taking both of his hands in hers. "Stop," she said softly, "If you want to cry then do it. Sometimes that's all that's needed. I've tried to hold back my tears and sometimes it's best if you just let it out...I won't tell anyone, I promise." Surprisingly she offered him a very small smile.
