"Aaron she probably hates me. If she doesn’t set me on fire, she’ll kick my ass. What would you do, if you were her? I would kick my ass. My grandparents certainly did…" Amelia whispered. "I just want to do right by all the people I hurt. Even if I do apologize to Lucy and Lysander, it won’t change what I did. Nothing will. Everyone will always see me as the girl who went crazy…" Amelia wanted nothing more then to let everyone know that she was truely sorry about what she did and she’d do anything to take it back, but she knew it wouldn’t help. No one would forgive her for what she did, she knew that.

"It won't change what you did, but it'll help everyone move on. Don't you think she deserves at least an apology? Both of them? If anything, it's the polite thing to do. And, hey, I think she'd respect that. Don't let your fear keep you from fixing things." He put his arm around her again for support. "Honestly, I think it would be good for you to, to apologize and get it out there just how sorry you are."

"We could let Lucy set me on fire; I’m sure everyone would love to see that…" she sniffled, taking another bite of pie. Maybe it was venting and letting her tears out, or maybe it really was Aaron’s mother, but some how, the pie suddenly tasted like the best thing she’d eaten all day. Yet again, she had been skipping meals in the dining hall for days.

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

"Hmm I don't think we should give the people the satisfaction of getting rid of you so easily, do you?" He watched Amelia devour the pie bite by bite. It dawned on him that he actually hadn't seen her in the dining hall at all since she had come back. "Maybe you could just talk to her, you know. Just apologize and explain what was going through your head. I've talked to Lucy a couple times and she's honestly not as bad as she seems. I mean sure, everyone saw her wreck that dude Scorpious, but that doesn't mean she's a horribly mean person. Plus, he kinda had it coming..." Aaron trailed off. "Anyway, I'm getting off point. Just talk to her. Go find her in the dining hall or in the dueling area and go up to her. I can go with you if you want."

Amelia mustered up all her courage and gave Aaron another smile, but this time she meant for it to be genuine. Being back at school taught Amelia many important lessons, most of all, who she could trust, and who she knew would be there for her. And like most tests in school, Aaron passed with straight A’s. “Aaron… I know I don’t say this enough, but I love you. I really do.” Amelia admitted as Aaron wiped the tears from Amelia’s checks. 

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

"And I love you. I want you to always remember that, 'kay?" He finished wiping her cheeks and pulled away from her. "Now, eat the rest of this pie before I do and let's brainstorm ideas to get you back on track," he said, hanging her back the plate and fork after taking a forkful for himself.

"Don’t make me laugh you ass, I’m grieving. I am vulnerable, and hurt!" Amelia reprimanded, managing to let out a small laugh, coupled with a faint smile. Even if she felt awful, Amelia knew she couldn’t help but feel like herself again around Aaron. In every way, he brought out the best in her. 

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

It warmed his heart to hear Amelia laugh, even if it was weaker than usual. "There's my Amy," he said, kissing the top of her head again. Pulling away, he looked at her face, still red and puffy from crying, but he say hope stirring in her eyes. "Now," he started, tucking her hair behind her ears and using the remaining dry edge of his shirt to dry her cheeks, "how about you and I sit here and think of some simple steps to working this out, yeah?"

[amelia-finnigan]

"Why are you so good to me?" Amelia questioned, letting the last of her tears roll down her cheeks. "I don’t deserve a friend like you." she admitted, resting her head gently on his shoulder, keeping her face hidden in the soft fabric of his shirt.

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

"And I don't deserve one like you, yet here we are." He smiled and rubbed her arm. "You done turning my shirt into a shamwow?"he chuckled.

"Okay; because Aaron? I"m really not okay. Not at all." Amelia sobbed letting Aaron’s worth sooth her and attempt to calm her as she shook with every tear she had been holding back since she arrived back in the school building. 

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

Aaron patted her head softly. "I know. It's okay to not be okay. No one's expecting you to, and honestly if you said you were I'd be concerned," he chuckled lightly. "Just let it all out, and maybe some more pie after."

Uhm, Hi

[elizabethdawnbane]

Uhhh..Many things?? Like potions and Defense spells and stuff like that..

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

Interesting, dueling seems to be popular around here but I haven't met too many people into potions.

[elizabethdawnbane]

Uhm, Hi

[elizabethdawnbane]

I find it cool. ……..I would love to have plants, but I am not the best with them though……..

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

Yeah, they can be a bit difficult sometimes. It takes a lot of patience and experience, not to mention knowledge of herbology and biology and chemistry.

What about you? What are you into?

[elizabethdawnbane]

Uhm, Hi

[elizabethdawnbane]

Oh, well that’s cool.

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

I guess so...I mean, depends on your definition of cool.

[amelia-finnigan]

She let him holder, something she seldom let anyone do; but in this very instant all she wanted was a friend. “You don’t deserve this Aaron. you have important things to deal with… I’m such a mess.” she sniffled, letting herself completely lean into him. The comfort that Aaron’s arms brought was more then Amelia could have ever said she needed; and she needed it.

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

"Hush, you. You're my best friend and right now you're my priority. I'm not leaving here until I know you're alright because I care about you," he sighed. He rocked them back and forth, letting Amelia get out even tear in her body. "I'm going to help you through this. You're gong to get through this."

[amelia-finnigan]

And Still, the Darkness Comes|| Amelia & Aaron

[amelia-finnigan]

Amelia found the courage to look up at Aaron; but as soon as she did, she couldn’t stop her tears. She burst out sobbing, burying her face into his shoulder. “It’s shit Aaron. It’s all gone to shit, and I’m so fucked up. I’m a terrible person.” she cried, releasing he knot in her throat as she wept.

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

He wrapped both his arms around her and held her shaking body while she cried. "None of that is true. It's not all gone to shit, you're not fucked up, and you're not a terrible person. You made a mistake. Lots of people do. There's a way to fix all of this." He rubbed her back and placed a kiss on her forehead, breathing in the scent of her shampoo.

She looked down at the plate, no longer enjoying he taste in her mouth. She pushed the dessert around with her fork, as she felt the burning sensation of tears in the back of her throat. “I don’t know Ar… I don’t think I’m going to be okay this time… I… I think this time I really fucked up…” she whispered, squeezing her eyelids shut. She let her hair fall back across her face, hoping it would hide the pain she knew was sweeping back across her.

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

"Hey," he tucker her hair behind her ear and squeezed her tighter, "sure, you did. But that doesn't mean it can't be fixed. We'll find a way, we will." If she wanted to cry, he'd let her.

[elizabethdawnbane]

Uhm, Hi

[elizabethdawnbane]

Why is that??

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

I spend a lot of time with my plants. I see them more than real people, to be honest.

[amelia-finnigan]

And Still, the Darkness Comes|| Amelia & Aaron

[amelia-finnigan]

She forced a smile, and took a fork. “I’m sure I would, but i don’t think I’m going anywhere any time soon. Maybe summertime. I’m sure I’ll have some freedom by then.” she prayed, taking a bite of the pie. “If you had brought me a slice of this before everything happened, I’m sure this mess could have been avoided,” she joked, with a mouth full of pie. 

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

It warmed his heart to see Amelia feeling even slightly better. "Told you, it's the key to world peace." Pushing the plate on to her lap, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and gave her a gentle squeeze. "It'll all be good, I promise."

[elizabethdawnbane]

Uhm, Hi

[elizabethdawnbane]

I guess so.. You seem pretty cool..

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

Eh, I don't know. Most of my friends are my plants really.

[elizabethdawnbane]

Uhm, Hi

[elizabethdawnbane]

I’m Elizabeth, who are you??

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

Aaron. It's nice seeing a new face around here.

[amelia-finnigan]

And Still, the Darkness Comes|| Amelia & Aaron

[amelia-finnigan]

She bite her lip and tucked her tangled mess of hair behind her ears. She knew her attempt to look put together was failing, as she could still feel her damp cheeks. “I’ve been better, but I’m surviving.” she confessed. She traveled over to her bed taking a seat on his stiff sheets. “And you? How’s your mom? And Kole? I haven’t seen anyone in ages…” she tried to laugh but it came out has a sharp breath that made her sound even more uneasy then before. 

[aaronthehufflepuff-blog]

"Good, good! It's all been well." With a sigh, he plopped down next to Amy. "Mom seems like she's getting better. She really likes Kole, which makes me happy. And I think Kole likes her too, which makes me even more happy. You should visit her too. I feel like you two would really get along. Plus," Aaron rested the plate of pie on her knee and pulled out two forks, "I told you, he pie heals souls." Raising an eyebrow, he nudged her in the shoulder. If she didn't want to talk about it, he wasn't going to make her.
