Chapter 17: Hard Days

Destiny was grounded the rest of the summer. She wanted so badly to see Judy and ask for her advice but she didn't know if that was a good idea. What if Marcus was watching her and thought it was her wanting to see Gerald Sardell instead. She was beyond lost and lonely. "Big sis you okay?" Zoey cutely asked. "Yes I am okay. It's big kid problems." Destiny exclaimed. School started back just in a few days and she would be there without her love. She knew she would be in contact with Gerald and how was she supposed to be friends with Judy without the constant stares of her siblings. It was definitely hard days. She would wake up to horrible night mares and she hasn't heard or seen Marcus Harper in weeks. Noone at school asks about him any longer and it seemed as if he was just a dream she dreamed up. It hurt her so much she lost a lot of weight and barely talked to anyone. Judy noticed and one day finally got up the courage to talk to her in private. "Are you alright? You look like death stared you in the face." Judy jokingly said. "Theo Locket is gone and we were really good friends. It really hurts to not see him or hear from him." Destiny muttered. "I heard he moved to his grandparents I could get his number if you want." Judy cheerfully stated. "That's okay. They probably won't tell you anyways." Destiny knew they wouldn't associate with Judy or tell her the truth. The hard days would just keep coming if she didn't come through with that magical contract. She would have to open up to Judy.
