Dean.

Um, how much more confused could I be about him? He knows the one biggest part of my life, and he doesn't care at all. I think that's something. Because you know, Andrew made such a big deal about it. But Dean....he didn't. He told me it was cool and then we kind of forgot about it. I haven't talked to him much. Because of the whole mom-won't-let-me-over-Lacey's-dad's-house thing. I wish I could go over there. Hopefully I'll be able to. Honestly, I do like Dean. He reminds me of Alex, yet more...out there? I don't know. Dean talks. Alex doesn't. But I'm afraid I'd hurt Lacey. After all, he is her step-brother. I wouldn't want things to be weird for her. But will I be able to help it? I guess I could just keep things to myself. But we all know how badly that can end sometimes. Besides, Kelli practically hates Dean. She wouldn't be alright if she knew I liked him. Lacey wouldn't even talk to me when I brought that up. I don't know what to do. I mean, Lacey called me from her dad's cell phone today, and I could hear Dean in the background. I got butterflies. And he's not even around. I want to call Lacey back, but because i could hear him, I'm afraid to. It'd be weird. Plus she called a few hours ago. Would it be okay to call her back so later afterwards?? I'm not sure. I'm not too good with the whole talking on the phone thing. I'll decide sooner or later. But I don't know what I'll choose: call her back or bail out and talk to her after the break.
