What happens in Hogsmead... (closed to all but those invited)

[Aiden]

Aiden shook his briskly, trying to compose his expression.  He started to walk deeper in the forest.
"It's not your fault, it's mine.  I've wrecked too many peoples' lives.  Now I have to fix them, before it's too late."  He said quietly.

[purpleraincloud]

She followed him grabbing his hand. "But how can I not feel responsible?" She sighed. Her head hurt, she was thinking so hard. She just couldn't find a solution. She was tired but wanted to keep walking. In a strange creepy way, the forest was peaceful, she liked the darkness.

[Aiden]

Aiden shook his head.  It wasn't her fault, it was his and he had to take responsibility for everything.
"Trust me, it's my fault.  Everything is.  There is no need for you to be responsible."  He explained.

[purpleraincloud]

"I can't help it. If...I just...I'm sorry." She was ashamed at herself. She didn't think and just let her emotions overwhelm her. She squeezed his hand gently.

[Aiden]

Aiden shook his head again.  He turned his head to look at Avalee, his expression serious.
"Don't be sorry.  I'm the one who started it.  I never wanted to be this guy, the complete ass who uses people but hurts everyone in the process."  He whispered quietly, his eyes looking distracted as if he was looking at something that wasn't really there.

((Hmm. Very interesting....))

"Does anybody want to be that person?" The brutal truth was now apparent, and she spoke aloud. "You are married. To Stacey. I've known you for about a month. So keeping that in mind, what the hell are we going to do? Cause based on that it is apparent to me what is going to happened." She knew something bad was going to happen.

[Aiden]

Aiden frowned, a crease forming in his forehead.  His dipped his head, and looked down at the ground.
"What do you think is going to happen?"  He asked quietly.

[purpleraincloud]

"You are going to stay with your wife, aren't you, I mean I would never ask you to leave her, or ask if you would, or, she loves you, I love you, I'm....I'm...." She rambled on. She loved him enough that she didn't want his heart to break even though it would break hers. She turned around, tears brimming over once again. She didn't want him to see.

[Aiden]

Aiden put his hand on her shoulder, and walked in front of her took look at her face.  He watched as the tears started to stream down her face.
"I- I don't know what to say.  I need time to think is all."  He explained, trying to find a way to fix this and make it right.
Part of him knew that it would be impossible.

[purpleraincloud]

"I know, I just am talking because I'm like, anxious. I'm rambling. Sorry." She rambled on she knew that he needed to think and she just was tired. She must look like hell, she had cried a lot that night.

[Aiden]

Aiden frowned, closing his eyes tight.  He needed to get his head straight.  So much had happened tonight, and much more would come.  He had to be prepared for the worst.
"I know, I understand.  There is no reason to apologize."  He murmered, his eyes still closed.

[purpleraincloud]

"Yes there is. I kissed you. I might have just ruined your marriage." nuts, she thought.

[Aiden]

Aiden rubbed his eyes with one of his hands.  He took in a deep breath and sighed.
"I kissed you back."  He whispered, frustrated.

[purpleraincloud]

She yelled now, partly because of her headache. "I know!" Then she whispered. "I know, I know, I'm trying to think of a solution but there isn't one! Someone's heart is gonna be broken! No matter what!" She was talking in a regular voice by the end. She started walking back up the trail, she needed a shower.
