[June's viewpoint]
June was inwardly seething, and only half-listening to the conversation between Mark and Ty. It was difficult to even think straight when she was in such a rage. She couldn't move a muscle, and somehow Ty had done this to her! The ungrateful brat! Earlier, when Mark was enraged, she'd actually tried to intervene to protect Ty, and this is how he repaid her kindness? She'd been willing to listen, but when the conversation went into la-la land, she'd had to put her foot down. She wasn't going to calmly discuss madness, and it bothered her that Mark was. What in God's name had gotten into him?
She noticed Ty got up and walk into the kitchen. "What the hell is he doing?" she thought, "He can't just leave me like this!" But apparently he could, and had.
She thought back to Mark's behavior when Ty had asked him to look at the yard. He'd been on the verge of attacking Ty, and suddenly stopped. Then Ty said something to him, she didn't recall what, Mark started on the offensive again, and suddenly stopped. Mark then had docilely followed Ty outside. She had waited nervously, totally unsure of what to expect, but Mark docilely following Ty back in and sitting calmly sure as hell wasn't it. What the hell was Mark up to? At the moment, his behavior seemed even more inscrutable than Ty's!
Given that she couldn't move, couldn't do anything but think, she did calm down a bit. "I won't be stuck like this forever. What will I do when I can move again?" She started thinking about how to punish Ty, but then she considered that if he could freeze her like this, how could she ever punish him? How could she ever make him do anything he didn't want to do?
She thought back to the few things she could recall Mark and Ty saying right after she froze. Mark had begged Ty not to hurt her or Dustin, so clearly Mark believed that Ty could hurt them. But Ty said something about not wanting to hurt them. "If he didn't want to hurt me, why did he do this to me?"
"Wait, had Ty done this to Mark as well? Maybe even more than once?" That would really have gotten his attention; it certainly had gotten hers. The more she considered it, the more things started to make sense.
She remembered that Ty kept saying that he just wanted a calm discussion. Well, she had tried that, and look where it had gotten them. But then she thought about Ty's behavior. He had frozen her, but he had never gotten angry. If anything, he seemed sad. And when Dustin had leaped to her defence (she felt very proud of him; usually Dustin seemed too self-centered to care about her or anyone), Ty froze him, but had seemed sad about that too.
Maybe she hadn't actually given Ty a fair chance to explain. His story was obviously just so much malarkey, but what would it cost to play along a bit, at least see where it goes? Even if it was just fantasy, where was the harm? And he had apologized to Dustin, which he'd only ever done before if she or Mark (or Dustin) had forced him to.
She definitely was calming down more. What was the point of raging, if Ty could just freeze her like this? What else could he do to her, if he actually got angry? She decided that she didn't want to find out. Maybe the crazy story about changing Dustin was actually _true_? Of all the things she might criticize about Ty, she had never known him to be a liar.
Ty was certainly correct about one of the things he'd said. For better or worse, things were going to be _much_ different. It was a scary prospect, but it didn't seem like there was anything she could do but wait and see.
Ty brought four glasses of ice water in from the kitchen, sat down, took a sip, and turned to her.
