Vivian was mad, no furious. How could he chose her over her best friend? There was something wrong with that boy, she finally decided. She knew her friend needed her now, more then ever. She knew Avalee needed someone to vent to, but she needed someone up there to comfort her. That's what she was here for. Vivian was going to go talk to her best friend and tell her what she needed to hear. She walked up the stairs and down the hall to the RavenClaw common room, and whispered the secrete password and opened the door. "Avalee?" She said in a concerned voice.
(I'm gonna be helping you comforting her. But I'm gonna be waiting for her to post before I do.)
She walked into the room frowning. She couldn't remember the last time she had a big shining smile for real. She was skinny, too skinny, her clothes were baggy. She had lost a dozen pounds in the last two weeks. She was depressed. She was never really that angry. Only that once when she yelled at him. All signs of life had left her. She saw Vivian and half-fake-smiled. She had dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't had a good nights sleep in a long while.
She could see Viv was pretty angry, and if Avalee really thought about it, she was angry too.
"Oh, Avalee." She said sad now. Seeing what he had done to her made her even more mad. Vivian went over and set down on the couch, she patted the seat beside her.
Heather walked in and saw a very depressed Avalee and a furious Vivian. She was absolutely furious about Aiden and him hurting Avalee. She knew Avalee would never be the same again, her emotions will get stronger but it will take years. Like the many pets dying in her childhood (Random huh?) that subject was still a sensitive topic for her. She would fight to no end till her best friend was happy. Aiden was one of Avalee's first friends and she had fallen in love with him.
She walked over to Avalee and hugged her and says encouraging "It'll be okay, you have Vivian and me on your side. Always remember that you are never alone, if we have to Vivian and I will beat him up." According to the many romance books she has read, never ever mention the guy's name just after a girl gets dumped. It was the same with her pets, if their names were said out of random she would run out in tears.(I've done it with my cat.)
Aiden slowly walked through the hallway, his hands in his pockets and his head down. He took deep breaths, bracing himself. He was probably walking into a death trap. All those girls hated him with a passion, and he deserved it none of the less.
Aiden arrived at the picture, and said the password quietly. When the picture opened, he stepped inside slowly and lifted his head. Aiden waited to say a word until he would see the reaction. Anger most likely.
She smiled at Heather. She would love to throw a couple of good punches at him. "Yeah, shes right." She said to Avalee. "I think Heather and I could take him." She lifted her head when she heard the door creek open, and she took a deep breath. She had to control herself, she had to for Avalee.
((Do you think we should wait till she post again?))
Heather heard the portrait door open and saw the last person Avalee would want to see. Aiden Gray. Heather glared at him and says icily to him "YOU! You dare come back, and torture her and upset her!" She stepped up to him she was just a bit shorter then him but she could easily take a few punches. She slapped him hard leaving a red hand mark on his cheek, Heather smirked. She turned around on her heel and went over to Avalee and Vivian and whispers to Vivian, "He's yours to take out but some for me."
(Yeah, but I wanna do something to him first.)
((Don't be too mean lol))
Aiden flinched as Heather slapped him. He didn't even know Heather very well so he was surprised she was the one to lay the first hit. Aiden tried to keep his expression calm. After all, he was here for a specific reason even if they didn't see that now.
Aiden closed his eyes, his face stinging from the slap in the face. He took in a deep breath, trying to keep himself cool.
"Please, let me explain." He said quietly.
((Wait for Avalee now?))
((I think shes coming. Heather you are officially my roal-model in life. lol))
Vivian almost cracked up when Heather did that. "Fine, explain." She said to Aiden icily. "But afterward would you rather be attacked by a wolf or a tiger." She growled. Vivian wouldn't probably go that far, but it would do no harm in making him think that she would.
She spoke for the first time. "Heather, Viv, calm down. " then she looked Aiden, the red mark on his cheek. Her chest twisted painfuly. She loved him. It made it so much worse that he could still read her mind. She was wondering if he could feel her thoughts now. She aimed her thoughts at him, I'm sorry, she thought. She had so much to deal with.
Vivian knew they were making it so much harder on Avalee. She shot her an apologetic look. She looked at Aiden and nodded telling him to go on with whatever he wanted to say.
Aiden ignored Vivian as she threatened him, he wasn't afraid of her at all. He looked at Avalee, really noticing her now. He hadn't realized how...depressed she looked. She was extremely skinny and the dark bags under her eyes were very noticable. His eyes began to get wide, but he composed his expression quickly.
Aiden heard the thoughts in her mind, but tried to ignore them the best he could. He could tell how comforable it was for.
"Avalee... I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll start off by saying I'm sorry." He began slowly.
(Thanks, I would actually do that in real life if someone hurt someone close to me.)
Heather smirked at Vivian reaction to her doing. She rolled her eyes and says to him icily she was infuriated with him "Explain, and you better do it fast because we don't have all night, and we are very busy and all because of you! How could you! You were one of her first friends! Now explain!" she looked to Avalee with mixed feelings of sympathy and furious and projects a message to Avalee in her mind even if Avalee couldn't read minds, No, look in a mirror and see what damage he has done to you. He deserved it.
She glared at Aiden with the iciest eyes, and says "Do you see what you've done to her!"
"Heather!" She warned. She felt the urge to run again. But she had to deal. "For what?" She asked. She just was anxious. She was afriad she was going to have an anxiety attack. She didn't have any of her meds with her. She could feel the anger rolling off of Vivian and Heather. She thought it was irrational, but was sure that she would be that angry if it was one of them.
Vivian looked over at Avalee, her and Heather weren't making this any better. They were sending her into an anxiety attack. She tried to send calming vibes to Avalee, it was very difficult to do considering how angry she was. She looked back at Aiden, she wanted to hear what he had to say.
Aiden ignored Heather, already getting annoyed by her. He looked at Avalee with soft, dark eyes. He kept his attention on her, not paying any mind to the other two girls in the room.
Aiden slowly walked a few feet in front of her, and kneeled down.
"For what?" He asked, surprised. "For everything! You don't understand how sorry I am. I wish I could take all of it back. I didn't want to hurt you. That is the last thing I wanted to do."
Heather backed away and kept glaring at Aiden, she could be intimating when she wanted to. She remembered the old days of her and Erica, the two of them were very scary when they wanted. (Like me and my best friend at school, never get on her bad side.) She listened to Aiden apologizing to Avalee, and backed away to beside Avalee.
She wanted to cry again. She had cried so much because of Aiden. She reached out and touched his cheek, where Heather had taken her anger out. Her eyes filled with tears. She couldn't find her voice. She waited for Aiden to speak more.
Vivian actually felt bad. She flashed back to when her, Aiden, and Avalee were all at the lake, and how much fun they had. They had both helped her get over her fear of the dark. Vivian owed them so much for that. Would things ever be that simple again? She was lost deep in thought.
Aiden almost leaned back, surprised by Avalee's reaction. He expected anger, hostility, maybe another slap in the face. He didn't expect this. He looked at Avalee and away from Heather, not finding her intimidating at at all.
He sat there, thinking of how to explain. They obviously expected him to say more so he would do so.
"Avalee, I know you told me you love me. It must be a lot if after one night you were so sure of your feelings. I want to know that I do love you, but not in the same way that you love me. I know you must feel like I used you, and that hurts." He paused, taking a breath.
"But I want you to know that it wasn't my intentions. For awhile I did think that we could've worked out. Now, you have to understand that we can't. I mean your 16, I'm 19. These things don't work out. I know you hate me and I don't care if your friends want to hurt me. I'll let them. It's what I deserve to say the least." He said quietly.
"I don't hate you. " she loved him. She continued, crying now, silent tears. "What kinds of love do you think there are?" She asked. It wasn't a retorical question.
((sorry for the short post!))
Aiden watched her cry, unsure of what to do to help. He frowned, and looked down. He took in a deep breath, trying to think of an answer to the question.
"Well, I don't know really. But I don't think we would have been compatible, and besides it would be illegal." He said quietly, realizing how stupid he is again.
Aiden sighed, meeting her eyes again. He wanted to hug her and make her feel better, he didn't care what her friends thought. He wasn't afraid of a 12 year old.
"You have to understand." He whispered.
Vivian patted Avalee's shoulder, she knew she was in pain, and she knew she loved Aiden. She just wished that Avalee could love him without the pain. Is that really so hard to ask?
"No I don't. " she mumbled under her breath. "Aiden, there ate three kinds of love, one the love you feel for your friends of family, two the kind you feel when your drunk, which might be what you felt for me. I wasn't sure how much firewhisky you had, and then what I feel for you and what you feel for Stacey." She said. She had ranted enough. She took a breath. Illegal? Worst excuse ever, for not loving someone. She waited for him to reply.
Vivs hand was comforting on her shoulder.
Aiden pressed his lips together and ground his teeth as he read her thoughts.
"First off, I was not drunk." He clarified, his tone almost mad. He tried to calm himself down.
Aiden took a few deep breaths, and looked at Avalee. He needed to stay cool again. All of this brought himself into a wrecked state of mind, it was hard to keep control.
"Second, I never said I didn't love you. I was merely pointing out that it would be illegal." He said, trying to keep his voice down.
Heather shook her head at Aiden as he told Avalee that their relationship would be illegal, they were only uh...*counts on fingers* three years apart. She glared at him, it wouldn't be illegal in America or if they were muggles. She was a muggle and it wasn't that bad. She glared at Aiden more, Avalee was too forgiving. She remembered those kinds of people usually easily get dumped and then back together and then dumped again, or they would just live happily together, Stupid Twilight. (Not for real!) She smiled at Avalee's comment in her mind. She knew Avalee was right but she had missed two, there were those that were just in love but could live without each other and there were the ones who couldn't live without each other.
She smiled at Vivian and gestured for her to keep doing that, Heather read way too many romance novels and seen too many romance videos. She shook her head at Aiden's response.
"Fine, you weren't drunk! Don't get p:ssed at me." She pushed her bangs out of her teary eyes. She loved him. Her heart twisted painfuly, she was on the verge of an anxiety attack. Her breathing came short and shallow. "Stop reading my mind Aiden!" She yelled, though she knew he had no controll over it.
Vivian smiled back at Heather. It was comforting to have her there. She jumped a little when Avalee yelled, it reminded her of how quiet the room was. Why was love this complicated?
Aiden leaned back. He blinked a few times, and looked at the ground. From what it sounded like they were never going to understand no matter how much he explained. He lifted his head to look at Avalee.
Aiden looked at Avalee, biting the inside of his lip. His face was still red and stung a little, but he didn't care. He waited to see if she was going to yell more, he was going to let her.
((Okay, I'm confused. Who is all here now?))
((I think there making a different tread with just the two of them.))
((Not me, Avalee, Heather, and Vivian. Be nice guys. Stacey knows where you live. ;) ))
((Ok, now I'm confused. lol))
((Thanks Stacey! :]))
She shook her head. More tears poured out of her eyes. She put her other hand on his cheek. Avalee had forgotten how warm his body tempreture was. She thought at him to speak on.
Aiden watched as the tears spilled over her eyes. He silently wished the others were here so he could actually have a conversation with her. However, he knew they wouldn't leave.
Aiden felt Avalee's cold hands on his cheeks.
"I don't know what else to say. I've said sorry in so many ways, I don't know how else to show you how I feel." He pointed out quietly.
((Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don`t get mushy on me, I`m tired. Posteth in New Life, Aiden. Pwease. And say that there are different kinds of love. Physical attraction. Metal attraction. Fated, like Stacey and Aiden. Sudden passion, like him and Avalee. Friendship. Family. More than friends. There are more than three.))
Vivian felt awkward sitting there. She could tell Aiden would probably rather be alone in here, but she was not going anywhere unless Avalee needed her to. She wasn't really mad anymore, she was more frustrated. She looked behind her to look out the window, it was cloudy, like it could rain at any moment.
"Ok, Aiden, I love you, and I need to know how you love me back." She sent all her emotions at him. The love she felt for him, and her depression. She knew eventually that they would be just friends, but she needed to let her heart heal.
((Stacey! Let them work it out!!!!!!!!!!))
Aiden looked at Avalee's eyes. He pressed lips together in a line. He knew that saying it again would only make things worse, and he didn't want that to happen.
"You want me to tell you?" He asked quietly.
"I deserve to know Aiden." It would probably hurt her, but she needed to know. She thought about that fateful night, how blissful it was.
((sorry for another short post, Aiden and avalee should just hang out someday))
Heather had a feeling that Aiden wanted them to leave, but she wasn't gonna. She didn't want another crisis on her hands. Him kissing Avalee again would just make her break apart again when he left. She says to Aiden "You know I heard that in your head, and I know that you want us girls to leave for alone time with Avalee, but you won't be alone with her. The last time, you broke her heart, and before that you kissed her!" She went over to the couch and awaited for them to be done, but watched the two for any romantic feelings coming on.
Aiden looked at Heather, getting angry now.
"Who said anything about kissing, huh? The reason why I want you to leave is because I want to explain things to Avalee without you saying something every five minutes!" He said, his voice almost getting loud.
Aiden leaned back, he gave Avalee an apologetic look.
"Sorry." He whispered.
"Its fine." She whispered, "Viv, Heather go to my room, I just got some cookies from my aunt, eat them, I don't get hungry anymore. " She said nodding them towards the door. She knew Vivwould trust het, Heather probably wouldn't. "Talk." She said to Aiden.
Vivian stood up slowly. "Ok, will save you some cookies though. You have to eat." She said concerned. Vivian was getting really worried about that. As she walked by Heather she whispered in her ear. "We can take shifts outside the door." She hoped they did not hear, but she knew they probably did.
Aiden sighed in relief. He looked Avalee and flipped his hair out of his eyes.
"Thank you." He sighed again.
Aiden watched them leave. He was glad he could finally talk to her in the way he wanted to. He couldn't when little kids were yelling at him.
"I'm sorry for losing my temper."
"Its ok. Heather just doesn't want me getting hurt. Talk to me Aiden." She dropped her hands from his face. The tears had slowed down but had not stopped completely. She waited for Aiden to talk. She hoped he wouldn't notice the comment about food.
Heather gave Aiden a last glare and ran up the stairs to Avalee's dorm after Vivian, once she was up there she walked over to Vivian and says "I'll take the first shift." She stood just outside of the door and listened to the conversation coming from below.
"He better not hurt her again." Vivian said to Heather once they where in Avalee's dorm. She wasn't going to eat the cookies there, Avalee needed to eat more then she did, and she wasn't hungry anyway.
Aiden looked at Avalee, not paying any mind to the two girls as they left. He had other things on his mind now. It wasn't until Heather left the room that he heard the food comment.
Aiden raised an eyebrow, and looked at Avalee's skinny frame. She was skinny before when he first met her, but not this skinny.
"Have you not been eating?" He asked worried.
She blushed. Oh why did he have to notice that. He hadn't mentioned the dark circles from her lack of sleep under her eyes.
"I've been eating enough." She did this to herself, she didn't know if it was on purpose or not. She sat waiting with a grim expression, waiting for him to answer the only question that mattered to her.
Vivian didn't mean to eavesdrop, but she did anyway. She had excellent hearing though, she always thought that made up for her poor eyesight. Vivian heard Aiden mention Avalee not eating, and she became mad again. "I hope your happy." She mumbled under her breath. "You did that to her. Its your fault shes not eating."
Aiden ground his teeth together, getting angry again as he heard what Vivian said. He looked down at the ground, and his jaw set. He took deep, slow breaths. He would have to learn to control his anger.
Aiden lifted his head again too look at Avalee. He knew she wasn't eating enough, her frame showed it. However, if she didn't want to talk about it he wouldn't ask her to do so. Aiden slowly lifted his hand to gently touch her cheek, but stopped himself. It would only get her angry.
"What do you want me to say?'' He asked quietly.
She reached out and held his outstretched hand. She held it gently in her cold hand. "What kind of love do you feel for me?" She asked, repeating herself in the clearest of ways. She took deep breaths. She wasn't gonna have a panic attack, at least not till Aiden left.
Aiden looked down at the hand she held. Her hand was much cooler compared to his unnaturally hot skin. He pressed his lips together into a line. He didn't want to tell her, it would only make things worse.
"I don't know. I love you, but not in the same way you love me." He explained slowly.
She looked down at their hands too. "Well, now talk to me like you wanted to when Viv and Heather were here, but couldn't" She said. She wasn't stupid enough to think that they actually went up to her room, she new they were probably listening.
Aiden wanted to roll his eyes as he read her thoughts, but he didn't. He didn't like reading peoples' minds. It felt like he was invading their privacy. He sighed, still looking down.
"You've been depressed." He began quietly, stating it as a fact not a question. "It's because of me. Is there anything I can do, anything at all to help. I don't want you to feel this way."
Vivian wanted to be down there with Avalee, she knew it was best if she wasn't, they would get alot farther probably if her and Heather weren't. But she felt like they should be down there. Avalee was there friend, and it just didn't seem right for them to be up in her dorm. Vivian wouldn't leave though, unless she needed too. Avalee wanted them up here after all. She looked out the window above the bed she was sitting on. Vivian longed to be out there, in her wolf form. It made her feel free, more free then in her bird form. Maybe it was the wind in her fur, or the maybe it was just the power. She couldn't explain it. Maybe her and Avalee could run as wolves, that might make her feel better. She would do anything to make her friend feel better.
She knew the only way for him to make it better, for him to dump Stacey's @ss and to choose her. "I have to let my heart heal, Aiden." She said sadly. She started to cry again, because she knew Aiden would be able to read that. She just wanted him to be happy. She remembered her words I need you more than air. She said that to him, and it didn't matter.
Aiden sighed, and put his other hand over Avalee's. He wanted to tell her everything would be better, but he didn't know if he believe that. She definatly wouldn't, at least now.
"Avalee...Please tell me if there is anything I can do right now. I don't want to see you hurt, neither do your friends. You have to understand that I don't want to see you this way." He said.
"I do understand! But I assure you that it is much harder for me than it is for you. You have someone you love, and she loves you back, you are there for her when she fails a test and feels crappy about it. She is there for you when you need someone to proof-read your essay. You are there for each other when you cry yourself to sleep! You are very luck Aiden." She said this through even more tears. She squeezed his hand.
Aiden leaned back, taking his other hand off hers. Looked down, not meeting her eyes.
"What do you want me to do? Get a divorce and live by myself, be miserable? Would that make you feel better knowing that I have no one?" He said, trying to keep his voice down again.
Vivian wanted to run down there. "Hes hurting her more." She she said sighing. She relized he could probably hear her so she added, "I know you probably not meaning to, but you are." She mumbled. She laid back on the bed and put her arms over her eyes.
She ripped her hands out of Aidens. She looked at him, angrily. "You think so low of me?" She wanted to continue her sentence by saying 'It makes me fell better seeing you happy' but she knew she was too angry to let him know that. She felt like he had just taken her broken heart, and shattered it. She was sick of him reading her mind. She just wanted to block everyone out and die. She had never thought about suicide very seriously, until last week. She hoped he could read that.
Aiden looked away from Avalee, finding it hard to see her so angry. He held his breath for a moment, trying to get his emotions under control. He tried not to read her mind, even though it was impossible. He hated that he could.
Aiden exhaled with a sigh, still looking away with his eyes closed.
"Then what the hell do you want me to do?" He almost begged.
She touched his chin and tilted his head up. "I want you to be happy, because I love you, and I want that for you." she said through her tears. She saw something in her minds eye, it was her, Avalee, dead, with a note pinned to her dress. It said - forever in love with a taken man. She thought of suicide, her mother had been depressed in her teens, and Avalee wondered if she had it.
"He is making her mad, I can hear it in her thoughts and voice. Stupid Aiden, Avalee! Stop being so forgiving, he hurt you mentally, emotionally, and physically!" whispers Heather commenting to what was happening downstairs. She knew Aiden could hear them, but apparently after Vivian's comments she knew Avalee couldn't hear them. Then Heather got an excellent idea, and opened her mind and screamed at Aiden in her mind and came back to reality outside of her mind.
((how did he hurt her physicaly?))
Vivian uncovered her face and set up. "Do you think things are getting any better down there?" She asked Heather in a questioning voice. She still wasn't sure if this was making things between Aiden and Avalee better, or just making Avalee worse.
((Maybe her not eating.))
(Yeah, that.)
Heather looked at Vivian and says "It gets better and then gets worse, it more like a roller coaster, it goes up and then goes down, then has those loopie loops, oh great I feel sick!" She ran to the window looked below her to make she there was no one below her, and barfed out the window.She wipes her mouth and puts some tic-tacs in her mouth and goes back to her post and gestures for Vivian to join her and says "There's enough room and you can find out for yourself, sorry bout the barfing... I get nauseous when i think about loopie loops and roller coasters."
Vivian rushed over to Heather. "Are you ok? Maybe you should sit down." She was really concerned. "I get that way to sometimes. Don't worry about it." She said with a smile. Vivian listened with Heather to see what Avalee and Aiden were going to say next.
Aiden closed his mind off from Heather, who was getting very annoying and irritating. He flinched as he read Avalee's thoughts, not really meaning to read them. He already regretted this mind reading thing.
Aiden lifted his head to Avalee, meeting her eyes with his dark ones.
"I want you to be happy, too." He whispered sincerely.
Aiden took a deep breath. He tried to find the right words to say, but her friends were distracting him.
"I don't like seeing you this way, I don't want to. It hurts me." He said quietly, knowing any kind of pain he could get was satisfaction for her friends. He didn't really care what they thought, they were only making things worse at the moment.
Heather glared down the stairs, Aiden had blocked his mind from her. She needed more people who could read minds, maybe then he wouldn't block her out. She shouted a swear word but was cut off in the middle, by her own hand. She leaned closer to the stairs listening to the two people downstairs in the common room.
"Heather!" Avalee warned her dear friend. At least Heathers heart was in the right place. "Aiden, I don't think that there is really anything that you can do right now! What they say, time heals all wounds, well its not true, but we will have to wait and see." She wanted him to hug her, to kiss her cheek sweetly, and to tell her that everything was going to be ok, and that the aching in her heart would go away soon. She was desperate for that to happen.
Aiden stood up, and looked at Avalee. He sighed, feeling worn out emotionally and physically. However, he was glad that Avalee stopped Heather's annoying, chilidsh ramblings.
Aiden looked at Avalee, his shoulders falling.
"Then what should I do?"
She stood up, finally and truthfuly breaking down. "Aiden, I want you to hug me and tell me that everything is going to be alright. Lie to me Aiden." This was going to kill her in the end, and it felt like the final nail in the coffin, or the first step towards healing, she wasn't sure. Heather was going to kill her, if she didn't kill herself.
Aiden closed his eyes, trying to block out the thoughts in Avalee's mind. It was hard enough already to block out her friends'. He took in a deep breath, and walked over to Avalee, embracing her in a hug.
"It's going to be okay."
Vivian took in a sharp breath when she heard what Avalee just said. This was going to hurt her. "I can't let her do this, I can't let her get any worse then she already is!" She said hysterically, she was freaking out. She stepped away from the spot her and Heather were standing and started pacing. Maybe that would keep her from running back down there.
She couldn't breathe. Aiden hugged her,and she loved it. She was having an anxiety attck though. She knew that Vivian would hear her breathing and give Avalee her meds once Aiden left. She hugged him, crying into his neck, rambling, " Aiden, I'm so sorry, I messed everything up!!" She was finding it quite hard to cry talk and have an anxiety attack at the same time.
Heather didn't care if they knew that they were eavesdropping and hollers down to Avalee about Heather killing her if Avalee didn't kill herself "I'm sooo not gonna do that! Sorry for eavesdropping!" Then heard in her mind about her having an anxiety attack and Vivian was gonna give her meds as soon as Aiden left, Heather thought that she would need it now and looks to Vivian and without speaking aloud she spoke in Vivian's mind, Go down there, I don't care if Aiden is down there, she needs her medication now! She cared much for her two friends, Aiden not being one of them due to hurting Avalee emotionally and mentally.
(Aiden, I thought you couldn't read minds.)
Aiden hugged her tight, but not too tight. He noticed her breathing and began to get worried. He leaned back some to look at her.
"You're sorry?" He asked, surprised. "How did you mess everything up? You did nothing."
((He can't, Avalee made him able to read hers and apparently Heather is forcing hers upon him..))
Vivian had to get down there. She ran over to the table in Avalee's dorm where she kept her anxiety medicine. What if she didn't get down there in time? She would never forgive herself. She transformed, where she was standing stood a sandy colored wolf, with bright purple eyes. The wolf picked up the medicine bottle in her mouth, and motioned her head for Heather to follow her. She ran she jumped completely down the stairs until she came to the door. Vivian could hear a growl rumbling inside her. She nuddged the door opened with her muzzle and slowly walked in.
Heather followed the wolf apparently being Vivian and ran down the stairs after her, and ran into the room. She says to Aiden "She's having an anxiety attack! That's our reason!" She was practically screaming at him in his face though she didn't mean to, she was worried and stressed about Avalee, she heard the worried thoughts of Vivian, worried that she was too late or she wouldn't reach her in time."
Aiden back away from them, taking a few steps backwards to give them room. He ignored Heather, and looked at Avalee with a worried expression. His eyes were still dark.
Aiden walked back a few steps until he had his back to the wall. He watched them quietly, unsure of what to do.
Vivian put the bottle down and nudged it, rolling it to Heather to give to Avalee. She walked farther into the room, she was now furious again. She crouched down and let out a growl, pulling her muzzle up showing her gleaming sharp with teeth. Her eyes were locked on him. Vivian lunged straight at Aiden, she wanted to stop, but she couldn't her animal instinct took over.
Aiden put his arm defensively in front of him. Before Vivan hit him, he pushed his arm out and knocked her away. His eyes instantly turned dark. He took a few steps forward, and bent his knees, getting ready incase she attacked again.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked getting angry.
Heather saw what was happening as she gave Avalee her medication, and then made a bubble around Vivian until she calmed down, she was stuck in one spot and couldn't damage anything. Heather summoned a pillow with her wand and tossed it into the bubble, and commands Vivian to chew that.
"Vivian!!" She yelled. She grabbed the bottle and ran at her. She stood in front of Aiden, barely breathing. She took out three red square pills ang gulped them down. "Go to the clearing, I'll meet you there." Aiden was angry now and that wasn't good. She looked at Vivian and pointed out the window. Vivian would turn into a bird and fly out. She was barely starting to breathe again.
((Was she talking to Vivian or Aiden?))
((Vivian))
((Mmmk.))
Aiden stared at Vivian with dark eyes. He closed his fist, and held it tight for a few moments. Then he unclenched his hand and emitted a flame from his palm. He dared Vivian to attack him again.
Vivian was still growling, still having her eyes locked on Aiden and the flame, she would of attacked again if it Avalee and Heather had not stopped her. The wolf put her head down realizing that the fight was over, and transformed into a robin. And flew out the window that Avalee had pointed at.
Aiden watched her leave, not really feeling intimidated by the much younger little girl. He sighed, feeling annoyed and angry again. He sat back down, looking at the wall.
Vivian flew untill she came to the large clearing, she then landed and phased back into her human self. She set down with her legs crossed and watched as the breeze made the blades of grass sway. Vivian was deep in thought. How could I have done something like that? She thought. What if I had hurt Avalee or Heather? She sighed and looked up at the sky.
Heather watched Vivian leave out the window, and says to the two in the common room "I'm gonna go check on her, she sounds pretty sad in thoughts." She left at a very fast speed, and ended up at the clearing and she had heard the thoughts of Vivian, How could I have done something like that? What if I had hurt Avalee or Heather?[/b] She replies to Vivian "You wouldn't been able to hurt Avalee or me, I would of stopped it in a flick of a hand or a blink of an eye. You couldn't control it, it's just animal instincts, it happened before you could do something about it." She walked over to Vivian and hugged her.
Vivian smiled a little. "Thanks Heather." She said hugging her back. Heather always made her feel better. "Is Avalee ok?" Vivian said with her head down, she did not see if she took her medicine.
"Yeah, she took her medicine and her breathing was getting better. I will always be here for you and Avalee." Heather smiled at Vivian knowing that she had felt a bit better but still guitly.
I really congratulate you to this forum where people can share their thoughts and more then it they can help each other in
all respect.

(Everyone... just ignore him.)
((Who is that?))
Vivian sighed in relief, Avalee did take her medicine. Vivian smiled. "Thanks Heather." She was feeling alot better then she just was.
(Alken, he is a spammer and advertiser.)
Heather smiled, and says to Vivian "Should I stay here with you till Avalee comes or just go back to the castle and spy on them."
((Oh, ok. Thanks for telling me.))
"Go spy." Vivian said smiling, she knew Heather liked doing that. "I'll be fine here. Tell Avalee I'm sorry."
She spoke her thoughts aloud as she thought them, there were no secrets now between her and Aiden. "Don't leave." She said. Her breathing was almost normal, but she let her face display all her pain. And her pain was great. She just needed him. it was that simple, it was also that complicated. She just stared at his face, trying to read him. She was so confused, and dead inside.
Aiden slouched over, his back to her and his eyes looking at the wall. He kept them closed, and he breathed quickly. He closed his fist, extinquishing the flame in his hand. He hadn't even noticed he had burnt part of the sleeve of his shirt.
"Why? No one wants me here. I only f*ck everything up." Aiden whispered, his voice sounding detached. He was never the type of person to forgive himself.
Heather nodded at Vivian and went off to the common room, and entered when Aiden said Why? No one wants me here. I only f*ck everything up." Heather put her hand on Aiden's shoulder and says "You don't f*ck everything up, things are just hard right now. You think you caused them. But you didn't, it's just life." She took her hand away from his shoulder and smiled at him. He was just a friend to her, but not as much as Vivian and Avalee were to her.
Vivian smiled at Heather one last time and watched her leave. She put a strand of hair that was in her face behind her ear, she sighed then looked up at the sky again. A hawk darted down a few yards away from where Vivian was standing and grabbed a unsuspecting rabbit. Life is just like that sometimes I guess unsespecting, she thought to herself. Vivian had a lot to think about. She sighed then laid down on her back. "I hope Avalee is not to upset with me." She mumbled to herself. "Why shouldn't she be? You could of hurt the person she loved." Vivian put her arms over her eyes.
"I WANT YOU HERE!!!" She yelled at him. "You, did not f*ck everything up! You made my regular f*cking boring night, a wonderful f*cking night!" She yelled. She cried.
Aiden wasn't paying attention to Heather. He really didn't even know why she was talking to him. It wasn't until a few moments ago she had slapped him. He shrugged her hand off of his shoulder.
Aiden looked at Avalee, he didn't even flinch at her yelling.
"Then what am I doing?" He asked quietly.
She ignored his question, and hugged him, as tight as she could although she was weak from the loss of weight. Avalee was quite a bit shorter than him, he was at least six feet tall and she was barely five feet. She hugged around his chest, and cried into his chest.
Aiden hugged her back, his hands tight but not too tight around her. His warm skin against hers, it was comforting.
"Sorry." He whispered, only loud enough for Avalee to hear.
As she cried, she whispered to him "Well if it makes the self loathing stop, i forgive you!" She was still wondering what he thought he bad done wrong but she just hugged him. Having him close was warm and made her feel almost whole.
Aiden sighed deeply, it almost sounded like he was relieved. He gently tightened his arms around her.
"Thanks." He mumbled. burying his face in her hair.
So she just hugged him, it was all she wanted now, she just wanted him. If they couldn't be together, she, not wanted, but needed him to be her friend. As his arms tightened she slightly smiled. She could feel her eyes getting lighter.
She still loved him, more than in a friend way, and she always would. She just needed this moment. She needed to cry out all her tears, it was making her feel better actually to cry, with Aiden there. He was her warmth, she was always cold and she needed someone like Aiden, so she wouldn't let this moment pass her by. She just hugged him.
Aiden kept his face buried in her hair, smelling the sweet scent she carried on her. He took deep breaths, keeping his hands tight around her. He silently read her mind, finding it less difficult since he didn't have to block out the others now.
She just hugging him, she still burried her face in his chest. She smelled his sweet sent. They fit. She could just hug him forever. Her mind was open to him.
Heather shook her head as Avalee and Aiden had apparently forgotten that she was there. She cheered in her mind due to Aiden finally unblocking his mind. Heather smirked and bent one knee and kept one straight and cross her arms and made her look like she was leaning on one leg.
Vivian was still waiting in the clearing. "What are they doing in there?" She said out loud to herself. Vivian always talked to herself. She slowly sat up, the sky was turning grey and some clouds were moving in. It was going to rain soon. That's just my luck, she thought to herself. She wasn't too worried, if it got to bad she could go into the forest. The trees would give her some protection. She started fidgeting with a blade of grass.
Heather rolled her eyes at the two and went back to be with Vivian who wouldn't ignore that she was in the room, She walked down from the castle to where Vivian was and says to her once she entered the clearing "Hey Vivian. They ignore me and are just hugging."
Vivian was glad to see Heather come back to the clearing, she was starting to get a little lonely. "Hi Heather. Are you serious? Do you think that's the best thing for her right now?" Vivian said worried.
"I'm serious! I'm not sure, but right now it is." says Heather confused, she wasn't sure about Avalee and Aiden hugging was a good idea.

She just hugging him, she still burried her face in his chest. She smelled his sweet sent. They fit. She could just hug him forever. Her mind was open to him.
Aiden leaned back to look at her eyes. He took in another deep breath. He was having trouble control emotions, so that always helped.
"Are you okay?" He asked quietly, hoping the talk they had helped her out.
She leaned back too, and said, "I will be." She paused, deciding how honest she was going to be. "Eventually"
She remembered a song that reminded her of this moment, it was a sad, sarcastic, painful song. And it spoke to her.
It was a song by the Strokes called Between Love & Hate. She remembered the lyrics now.
I never needed anybody,
I never needed anybody,
Don't worry about it honey,
I never needed anybody...
She felt like crying again, but she but on a brave face for the man she loved. Even if he didn't feel it back.
(Look at my above post too!)
Aiden looked at her eyes, silently he listened to the lyrics in her mind.
"Is there anything, anything I can do?"
Knowing he could he could read her mind she said aloud "Don't worry about it honey." She said sadly. She kept hugging him. She weighed her options for a moment. "Well.." She said, thinking aloud. She made up her mind. She stood on her tip-toes, he was so very much taller than her. She wanted this not to be the last, but she knew it was, probably. She kissed him, hoping more than anything he would kiss her back no matter how self-destructive it was. His lips were warm, as was his torso which her arms were wrapped around. She took a deep breath, keeping her emotions under control.
Aiden closed his eyes tight, and held his breath. He stood there, completely taken by suprise. He waited a few moments, and leaned back to look at Avalee's face. Her arms were still wrapped around him.
"Avalee...what are you doing?" He asked quietly. He didn't want to hurt her more by kissing her back, even though he wanted to.
She looked into his eyes, she started to cry again. She stroked his cheek. "Just let me have this, just this, just once." She silently cried and pressed her lips once more to his. She was a girl in love. Stupid irrational love. She didn't want to force him to kiss her, and she made that clear to him, through her thoughts. She cried, but these tears were different. These tears were colored, it was rare, some tears were gray, some gold. They reflected the changing colors in her eyes. She noticed when she tried to wipe them away.
Heather was tuned into Aiden's and Avalee's mind and says to Vivian "She kissed him! But he isn't kissing her back... yet. I better go break up the party, this isn't good for her."
Aiden stood there, frozen. He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to hurt anyone more than already had. He closed his eyes, having a silent battle in his mind on deciding what to do. Aiden slowly lifted his hand to her cheek. He didn't move otherwise. He wasn't exactly kissing her back. His lips were still frozen even though they were locked with hers, he only moved his hand.
She sent her thoughts to him. Aiden, please, this is...Too hard, I can't imagine being without you. Give me this, just this, it's all I ask of you. Aiden, I have thought of suicide. I told you, I need you more than air. It's all I ask of you, please, my love.
It was a lot to lay on him, but it needed to be said. At the same time she sent her thoughts at Heather saying 'Don't come near me.' she knew that Heather woud try to Come. She kissed Aiden, with as much passion as she could.

Heather was tuned into Aiden's and Avalee's mind and says to Vivian "She kissed him! But he isn't kissing her back... yet. I better go break up the party, this isn't good for her."
Vivian looked at Heather worried. "Oh no." She said in barley a whisper, she knew it was going to be bad now. If Heather went back up there, there was know way of knowing what she would do.
Aiden kept his eyes closed tight as he read her thoughts. The one about suicide really caught his attention. He didn't know what to do. He sighed, knowing he wouldn't forgive himself for this. He kissed her back very slowly.
"Ooooh! They're in for it! He's kissing her back!" Heather shook her head and stormed off to the Common Room, she wasn't gonna be going near to Avalee and hurting her just because she is her best friend, but Aiden would probably get hurt, once again. She ran up to the common room door and busted through it, and yelled at Aiden "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TWO DOING!?!?!"
Avalee growled at Heather. She had told her not to come. She was angry. She sent thoughts at her Go back to the clearing, like a true friend. Get the f*ck out of here! Let me have my last moment! She just needed this one moment, she just needed her love to mean something. That's all she wanted, all she asked of him.
She kissed him back, so he would know how much he meant to her. She remembered another song. It was a cheesy love, indie song. But it was one she loved.
She remembered the lyrics.
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.
Now these lyrics meant so much to her.
Aiden's eyes shot open as Heather bursted through the room. He gently leaned back, looking at Avalee for a moment and then at Heather. His eyes shot darker again. He heard the lyrics in his mind which kept him from getting angrier.
"I thought she told you to leave?" He said angrily.
Heather stormed up the stairs to her dorm, slamming the door behind her. She just wanted to protect Avalee, but how could she do that when Avalee wanted to. That what started this mess all along! She fell onto her bed, and sent a message to Vivian through her mind "I'm in my dorm, you should of heard what Avalee yelled at me in her mind."
Aiden ground his teeth together, and rolled his eyes. A real friend would listen to one another not talk about each behind their backs. Heather was getting very annoying and wished she would stop sticking her nose into everyones' lives. Aiden turned his head to Avalee, and rubbed the back of his neck with his palm.
Vivian watched Heather leave panic on her face. "I can't go back up there." Vivian whispered, with her head down. Avalee told me to go to the clearing, and wait for her. I can't go up there, she wants me here." Vivian said kind of sad. She was starting to wonder why Avalee had not came yet, but she wanted her to get closure with Aiden. That's what she needs right now, is closure.
She sent more thoughts to him, enjoying the scilence. First she repeated the lyrics smiling trying to showing him that they were so true for her. Then she thought to him, didn't get to finish. She let there lips meet and slowly moved them. She needed him.
Aiden listened again to the thoughts, still finding the lyrics nice to listen to. When she kissed him again, he was surprised by her eagerness. He didn't want to hurt her, he didn't want to hurt anyone espeically Stacey. In the back of his mind he remembered the thoughts of suicide. He closed his eyes tightly together, slowly and gently kissing her back.
She began crying. Again. Her mind was still buzing with questions. But she told it to shut up because she needed this. She needed him.
Aiden heard her cry, and his brown furrowed with confusion. He had never kissed someone, and made them cry. He slowly leaned back with a puzzled expression.
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked.
"This will be it Aiden. You are the love of my life, and when you walk out that door, it will be the last time I can act like we are in love. When you leave, I will be alone, and if heather god d@mn her wasn't up stairs I might slit my wrists. You chose her. And I still can't come to tearms with that. And it's not really that you chose her, it's that you didn't choose me." she finished her speech, still crying. She would always need him.
Aiden listened quietly, his expression getting darker quite a bit. He leaned closer to her, his face close to Avalee's. He had try to somehow. His heart pounded with nervousness and anxiety.
"Avalee, don't do anything stupid." He replied quietly.
"Then stay and make sure I don't!" She said, knowing that it was a stupid thing to do. She placed her hands on his cheeks, warming her cool hands. She looked into them longingly.
Aiden closed his dark eyes slowly. He looked down at the ground, taking deep, slow breaths.
"But I can't, and I don't want you to do anything like..." His voice trailed of quietly.
Vivian looked back up at the sky again, the clouds she saw earlier were darker now. She could smell the rain coming. Vivian looked anxiously at the castle. A few drops of rain started to fall. She didn't want to go to the forest just yet, what if Avalee could not find her. Vivian still stared at the castle.
"Like what, Aiden?" She asked in not a mad, but earnest tone. She just wanted to slip into oblivion, or have him for herself.
Aiden recalled the conversation earlier about suicide, and the remark she made about cutting her wrists. He had known people whom killed themselves, and it was something to take seriously.
"Don't ever harm yourself Avalee." He said, his tone serious.
"You didn't choose me. And now both of us have to deal with the consequences. Do you know what I'm really gong through? Have you felt that before?" She asked. She wasn't angry but she really couldn't be that angry with Aiden, she loved him too much.
Aiden bit the inside of his lip, holding back other words he was going to say. He took in a deep breath and held it there.
"Not exactly what you feel now, but I have been hurt. Alot." He replied quietly, exhaling with a sigh.
"But was it the same? I mean, did someone break, your heart? Or was it more, did they smash it, and it was like your heart was in tiny pieces, like glass. Shattered? Like something you couldn't put back together?" She said more tears escaping from her eyes. She wanted him to understand, she needed him to understand. Her life would never be the same, and she knew that was a heavy thing to put on a person, but it was his to know.
Aiden ground his teeth together, setting jaw as he did so. He was getting angry again, but he tried to control himself. It was hard to do.
"I don't know." He said after a few moments of silence. He didn't want to think about it.
The rain in the clearing was getting worse. Vivian stood up, and transformed into the sandy colored wolf again. Her four paws hit the ground with a thud. She sat down again threw her head back, and let out a long howl that should be able to be heard from the castle. The wolf put her head down, stood up, and ran for the forest. In her wolf form all the memory's from what happened in the castle were stronger now, Vivian shook her head hoping to shake the thoughts away.
She looked to the window and saw rain pouring in. She liked it that way. The rain made her calmer. She looked down for a moment, staring at both of their feet. She could bear to look up into his eyes, the eyes that she could stare into forever, or so she thought, she loved him too much. She grabbed his hands, both if them, still looking at the ground.
Aiden let her take his hands. He sighed quietly, and closed his eyes again. Aiden looked down, taking deep slow breaths as he tried to think of something to say.
"It'l be okay, Avalee." He promised. Inside Aiden knew it would be true, it may take awhile but someday.
She spoke the words aloud, because they needed to be said, not just in her mind. "Aiden, my heart belongs to you, it always will. I love you." During the last sentence she forced herself to look into his deep eyes. She didn't smile, she didn't display any emotion. It was information he needed to know. She needed him to know. He was the only thing that she needed.
Aiden slowly opened his eyes and looked at Avalee's face. His eyes were dark black now.
"I know." He whispered, trying to find the right thing to say. "I'm sorry."
"It's going to be fine." She said with a sudden realization. "I will be fine." She said. Her tears stopped. She was now sure she would be fine. She knew it. She knew. She kissed him on the cheek and squeezed his hands, gently. Avalee smiled her first real smile, up at him, through tired eyes.
Heather got over the evil words Avalee had said, and tunes into their conversation downstairs, and she ran down the stairs and hugged Avalee tightly and laughed at herself. Then says to Avalee "Vivian is awaiting you, in the clearing."
Aiden looked at the both of them, and sat down. He didn't really know what to say, but he figured Avalee was going to see her friend who patiently waited in the clearing.
The wolf was waiting in the low shrub at the edge of the forest, the trees overhead were protecting her form most of the rain, and she still had a good view of the clearing. Vivian's bright purple eyes gazed out at the sky, the rain was dying down. She wondered what they were talking about in there, and if Avalee was ok, but she probably was Avalee was strong. She would get over him, it would take time, but she eventually would. The wolf closed her eyes and sighed, she would need to apologize to Aiden. Vivian was sorry, it was a stupid thing for her to do. She slowly opened her eyes, and gazed back at the clearing, waiting for Avalee.
"So what happens now?" She asked in a semi joking tone. She was just wondering what was on his mind. Wondering if her love for him meant anything. She felt better now, it was true, but she was still just a little confused.
Aiden hardly noticed Heather enter the room. He leaned forward, and leaned his elbows on his knees as he stared into the fireplace. His eyes reflected the red and orange flames.
"I don't know." He admitted under his breath.
"You can't say that." She said plainly. And smiled. It was a true smile, she sat next to him. She took his hand. "Friends?" She asked knowing it was akward. She chuckled.
Aiden chewed the inside of his lip, an anxious look in his dark eyes. He slowly took her hand in his warm one.
"Friends." He said quietly, looking down now.
She smiled, and took her free hand and gently tilted his head up. "Be happy." She said. She smiled a smug smile. "You owe me that." She squeezed his hand. She knew that her love for him would turn into the kind of love you felt for a sibling, or a really good friend. She hoped that her smile would make him smile.
Aiden looked up at Avalee as she lifted his head up and grinned at him. He smiled back for a moment before letting it fall again.
"Yeah, I guess I do." He agreed.
"So are you gonna act really awkward around me now?" She asked. It sounded like she was joking but deep inside she wasn't. She just wanted to get to the part where they were great friends. She needed that. She tucked her hair gently behind her hair, almost in a nervous habit fashion.
Aiden lifted his head. He knew things weren't going to be normal, it was a fact. It was going to be hard to be good friends too, after all that had happen.
"I'm not acting awkward." He corrected her.
"But when I see you, like at the pub, around the grounds, by the lake...When Staceys around" She finished her sentence in her mind. Especially when Staceys around.
Aiden listened to the thoughts, his expression slowly changing to look like he was in deep thought.
"Well, I don't really know how to act with both of y'all there." He replied quietly.
The rain had completely stopped, and the clouds were leaving the sky gray and gloomy. The wolf stood up and shook the rain droplets of of her sandy coat. Now that she was up, Vivian didn't feel like sitting down again. What she really wanted to do was run, run till she could feel the wind in her fur, run till she could not think anymore, and just be intoned with nature. She smiled at the thought. Vivian walked back out into the clearing, but not in the center like she was before. Then she started pacing, her tail dragging the ground.
She decided to state the obvious. "Act like she is you wife, cause she is, and act like I am a really good friend. That will make her calmer too." She did feel like this would work.
Aiden nodded as a reply. He shrugged back in his seat, leaning his head against the back of it.
"I guess you're right." He replied quietly. "It's..all to confusing."
She squeezed his hand. "Yes it is. But it will get better, we just have to be there for each other." She said. She gave him a gentle smile. She pushed her bangs out of her eyes, and leaned back, as he did.
Aiden lifted his eyes to Avalee, unable to feel a little bit better. He gently squeezed her hand with each of his fingers once at a time.
"Thanks." He said after a moment.
"Welcome" She felt her heart thud as she looked into his eyes. She did love him, but in a different way now. Her smile faded. She looked down.
His smile couldn't help but fall as she looked down. He suddenly felt embarrassed, and he wasn't sure why.
"What?"
"I'm just, Well I'm wondering if you regret it. What happened in Hogsmead. Do you regret it?" Her eyebrows pushed together. She knew it was going to be hard for him to answer this.
Aiden looked down at his hand that was securely wrapped around Avalee's.
"No." He replied quietly after a few long seconds.
"Why?" She said. She didn't regret it either, but it was different, she wished that he was single. Oh, how that would make everything better! She needed him...
Aiden nodded, more to her thoughts than anything else. Yes, all of this may not have happened but what else would've changed?
"I don't know really." He replied, looking up to Avalee now with deep, dark eyes. "Do you?"
"No." She said, thinking it would be obvious. Of course she didn't regret it, if they hadn't of done what they did, she would have always wondered what would have happened. She didn't want that.
The wolf let out a sigh, but it sounded more like a low whimper. She stopped pacing and looked back toward the castle, she was tired of being out here alone. The wolf slowly put her head back down, and started walking. Where they that mad at her, to just leave her out here? They have to come back for me, Vivian thought. Right?

"No." She said, thinking it would be obvious. Of course she didn't regret it, if they hadn't of done what they did, she would have always wondered what would have happened. She didn't want that.
Aiden nodded his head, looking back towards the fire. The flames reflected in his dark eyes, making him look almost angry even if he wasn't.
"Well, that's good." He pointed out, lifting his eyes to meet Avalee's again.
She just nodded. She was just wondering. Wondering about the future.
Aiden lifted his eyes to Avalee's getting lost in their color. He tilted his head, silently listening to her thoughts.
"What does the future hold?" She asked as a sort of an open question.
Aiden cleared his throat. He wasn't really sure of what her question meant.
"Future? What do you mean?" He asked.
She answered cliche like sating "Where do you see yourself in five years?" She was just wondering because she didn't want to ask aloud if him and Stacey were planning on having children.
Aiden rested his arms on his knees. He flipped his dark hair out of his almost as dark eyes.
"Hopefully happy." He answered simply and quickly.
"It seems now whenever I think of the future, even if it may be far away, I always can't help but feel like it's going to be good." Aiden added, clearing his throat.
She smiled, he wasn't a big long term thinker guy, not commited, or anything. She just noded as he spoke, listening.
Aiden leaned back a little, his face curious.
"What makes you think that?" He said, asking about the unspoken thoughts.
"it's just something that I sense." She said waiting for him to get angry.
Aiden tilted his head even more, his eyes filled with curiousity.
"What makes you think I'm not commited?" He asked.
"I didn't mean your not committed. I meant you are not a long term thinker." She said speaking her mind.
Aiden leaned forward in the chair.
"Well, I suppose you're right in a way." He pointed out quietly.
Aiden peered closer to the fire. His eyes slowly got dark, and with a flick of his wrist the fireplace suddenly brightened as the flames inside got bigger.
Her eyebrows raised as the fire grew bigger. She wondered if he was angry with her.
Aiden took a sideways glance at Avalee. He tilted his head.
"What?" He asked self-conciously as she watched him.
"Goodbye Aiden" She smiled and stood up. She walked across the room and stood by the window, shifting into a bird, a small dark red one. She perched on the windowsill for a moment, waiting for his response.
Aiden watched her get up with a peculiar look on his face.
"Um, bye?" He said with confusion on his voice.
I just have to get out, I just have to get away. She flitted out the window.
