The Meeting in the Dorms (Avalee needed!)

[potter_fan122]

Stacey composed herself enough to be sitting against the tree with her arms wrapped around her knees. She stared out in front of her, but saw nothing. She wasn`t crying anymore, but her eyes were red fromt he tears.

She could feel him. Just like she always could when he was close enough. He`s coming. She thought with a deep breath. She tried to take deep, even breaths. She had questions for Aiden, now, and none of them would have very happy answers. She would probably start cryig again, but Aiden wouldn`t care.

That`s why she loved him.

"Am I ok?!" She said, anger finaky flowing. "No, I'm not bloody ok!! And I'm not gonna be ok for a long time. So go be with Stacey! Go be with her Aiden Gray. " she used his full name as she had the fist time she toldhim she loved him. "Cayse you know what? I'll still be here. Alone." she sobbed harder. She fell into her chair. She had stood up somewhere during her rant, she felt bad.

[Aiden]

Aiden slowed down his pace, unsure of what to say.  She was angry, and was going to be for a very long time.  Aiden quietly whispered sorry to Avalee under his breath about a thousand times even though he knew she couldn't hear him.  He didn't deserve anyones' forgiveness, it was amazing one of them still had anything to do with them.

A few long moments later, he arrived in the clearing.  He lifted his head as he saw Stacey stting against a tree, her eyes were red making it obvious she was crying.  Aiden took in a deep breath, and knelt down beside her.
"Stacey, I'm back."  He whispered.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey nodded and opened her light grey eyes. She smiled weakly.
"I know. I could feel you coming." She whispered back, holding out her hand for him.

She hadn`t expected it to take so short a time. She thought it was going to take a while. Stacey knew that Avalee was persistent. Aiden must have explained things to her in a more blunt way than he could have.

[Aiden]

Aiden slowly reached his hand out and took hers, entwining his fingers with hers.  He lifted his head, looking at Stacey's expression.  She must have cried alot today, and because of him.

Aiden sighed deeply, and tilted his head.  He could only guess her thoughts.
"I tried to explain things the best I could, but I figured the less I said the easier I made it for her."  He explained, his voice quiet.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey nodded again and covered the back of his hand with her own. She took a deep breath.

"You did the right thing, whether it feels like it or not." She replied, her voice also quiet. "It would have been easier on both of you. She wouldn`t hear your explanations again and you wouldn`t feel like the was tearing you apart." She looked down at the ground, her mind spinning. It was one of those times when she was really thankful that Aiden couldn`t read minds and she had an extremely powerful mind block.

"I love you." She felt the need to remind him now. Things would be hard for him for a while. There were some things he would have to deal with himself, and others in which she could help. Letting him know that she was still there was one of the latter.

[Aiden]

Aiden gave her a short smile, but it didn't last long.  He sat down beside her, still holding onto her hands which felt so right with his.

He turned his head to Stacey.  He gently rubbed his thumb over one of her hands.
"I love you, too.  I always will."  Aiden said quietly but sincerely.

Aiden leaned his head back and sighed.  His head rested against the tree they both sat on, and he looked out in front of him.
"Now, I'm sure there are things you want to talk to me about."  He pointed out.

A sandy colored wolf was waiting in some low shrub at the edge of the forest. A low growl escaped her lips. Vivian was furious. No one messes with her friend like that without hearing from her. She would control herself the best she could, but she made no promises.She let out a long howl she wanted them to know that she was coming, and then Vivian darted out from the bushes and ran toward the place They were standing. She crouched infront of them and let out a long growl, and started circling them. She wasn't going to attack either one of them, she would probably get kicked out for it. So before she did something rash, she changed back into her human form and let out her fury on them. "How the hell could you two do that!? Just leave her up there crying like that! You two should be ashamed of yourselfs!" She never cursed unless she was mad. Her fist were clenched at her side and she was trembling she wanted to transform into something that would tear them to pieces. She was going to continue but she had to catch her breath.    

[potter_fan122]

There was no trace of Stacey`s smile now. Only her eyes showed that she wasn`t too angry, or hurt, or sad. She was too confused to be sure how she felt, so ehr eyes settled on grey.

"Yeah, I do want to ask you some things." She sia dsoftly, her voice barely a whisper. She loked down at the ground again. She did feel hurt. She felt betrayed. But she also felt happy that Aiden still loved her, that he was still here with her. She had enough problems trusting people. That problem would have gotten a lot worse if she hadn`t made him stay.

Taking a long, deep breath, she spoke slowly.

"I have a few things I want to know, and part of me doesn`t want to hear the answers. The other part of me knows I have to." She looked up to meet his eyes. "Do you know how you love Avalee?" She asked first.

[Aiden]

((I thought this topic was closed except for the three of them?))

Aiden looked down at the ground.  He blinked a few times, trying to think of a way to explain this in the best way he knew how.  He turned his head to look at Stacey, noticing her grey eyes.

Aiden squeezed her hand.  His own eyes were still dark, as dark as before.
"I'm not sure.  It's a feeling I guess, like you know something.  I can't really explain it."  He replied quietly, a crease forming in his forehead.

[SoaringScales]

((Avalee told me I could post.))

[potter_fan122]

((Well, it`s closed and Avalee is kind of out of the topic now.))

Stacey nodded slowly, chewing her lip. She looked at the ground again while she thought of which question to ask next.

"Why?" She asked, tears growing in her eyes despite her efforts to keep them back. She couldn`t help but feel a little unsecure and self-conscious. "Did I... do something wrong?" She chocked back more sobs and turned her head away, squeezing his hand.

[SoaringScales]

((How can she be out of the topic? This is about her just as much as it is about you two.))

[Aiden]

((I'll make another topic if you want.))

Aiden frowned as he saw his wife beginning to cry again.  He leaned forward, and cradled her face in both of his hands now.  He shook his head slowly as he looked at her eyes.
"Shh."  He begged, hoping she wouldn't cry more. 
"It's nothing you did.  You've done nothing wrong.  It was me." Aiden said quietly, his eyes pleading.

[SoaringScales]

((Thanks. I'm about to go to bed though. I guess I'll just make another one tomorrow.))
