"You think that that has ever mattered to me?" Lily asked with a raise of her eyebrows. "You say that as if I have never had my moments where I'm horrible company."
"You've n-never been horrible company to me," Alice replied, shaking her head, "Perhaps I d-don't feel like company right now."
She was brave and strong and broken all at once.

"No, I probably would've," Fred said. "But we both know it wouldn't be the smartest thing or the nicest thing either. It's reasonable for you to feel that way, to want revenge on that person because of what they did, but you do know that as an auror, you're held to a higher standard, you're in a position of power." He let out a soft sigh. "And from what I can tell, it didn't make you feel any better about losing your grandmother, did it?"
"Exactly. I sh-should have the power to stop them," Alice said, "B-But all we've been doing is watching!" she exclaimed, "We can't just watch them and wait for them to attack again. We have to stop them. So no, I don't feel bett-better because we're not stopping them."
"Oh come on now. What good does it serve to go into the new year with an attitude like that?" Arya tested the other with a light tone. "There's got to be some way to get you excited about the new year."
"Who says it su-supposed to serve any good?" Alice asked, raising an eyebrow, "Oh, you mean like the sa-sabbatical I've been put on for work? The first an-anniversary or my grandmother's death? The the-therapy sessions I have been sanctioned to at-attend so that I'm allowed to keep my job?"
"Yes, it's blue, I know that it's blue, so you don't have to tell me. No, it wasn't on purpose, and yes, I am trying to figure out how to fix it."
"What e-exactly were you trying to do?" Alice asked, "If not turn it blue, then wh-what?"
"How... how have you been, Allie?" he asked, clearly hopeful to reconnect with her. He was worried she resented him for reporting her. Even if he knew it had been the right thing to do, it didn't make him any less riddled with guilt. "How have you been holding up?"
"Bored, restless, tense, agitated," Alice listed off the feelings, "Nothing positive," she added after a moment. She knew she was being spiteful and that Frank had done what he had to do but she couldn't help herself. She shook her head, "I-I've been seeing the th-therapist I w-was told to. I don't feel an-any better."
closed starter - lily & alice ( @aliceofthelongbottoms )
Lily crawled into Alice's bed next to her, much like they used to do when they were kids during the Holidays and stays Alice did at the Burrow. "My weekend is officially free. Let's go do something."
Alice didn't particularly want the company but she didn't turn Lily away, shifting further across her bed to make room for her, "I'm not really in the m-mood for going out," she admitted, "And I w-won't be any kind of d-decent company."
"What? Is team not in your vocabulary or something?" Alfie questioned when she said that she wouldn't have been taking on that type of role. "And exactly... so my motives aren't entirely pure but if they serve the purpose I suppose it doesn't particularly matter."
"No, it is," Alice retorted, "But teambuilding is n-never as good as it's cracked up to m-me. Or m-maybe just sometimes. I don't know. It can be a h-huge success or a complete fail, no in between. No pr-pressure or anything," she added in jest.
"I know it does. And you deserve to party and enjoy the night as much as everyone else," Arya confirmed. "But don't you want to remember it too? Especially since it's a great night?" she argued with a smile. "Fantastic. Let's drink some water and then we can grab something to eat– you choose and it'll be my treat."
Alice shrugged, "Meh," she replied, "It doesn't m-matter if I remember it or not," she replied, "I m-mean, I could get as drunk as I l-like. It's not like I have to b-be anywhere tomorrow or the day after th-that or the day after that and the- oh y-you get the point."
Fred raised his eyebrows at Alice, "I leave the force for how long, and you pick up smoking, and some other unspeakable things?" he said. He took a seat next to Alice. "You know, a lot of people are worried about you," he stated, cutting to the chase. This was Alice, almost like another sister to him, and he wasn't going to beat around the bush and bullshit each other.
"This is not a new habit," Alice retorted as if that made it better, "And it's not r-really a habit, it's a stress thing," she explained, again not making it any better. She sighed and put out the cigarette, "It was a D-Death Eater involved in the hospital attack, he k-killed my grandmother," she pointed out, "Don't tell me you wouldn't have d-done the same thing."
"Me? I can't complain," she shrugged with a soft smile. "I guess these sorts of parties are just less interesting to me. It's not that I don't drink, but I'm not a big partier nonetheless," Lyra explained. "And you, Alice? How've you been?"
"Then wh-why did you come?" Alice asked, "Shit sorry, th-that sounded rude. I just m-mean if you're not a partier, why did you come to a party?" she elaborated. She shrugged and shook her head, "Just another d-day in the life of the disappointment wh-who makes shitty choices. Can't complain?" she asked as a question.
"Just okay?" his features immediately etching with concern. It was only solidified when Alice admitted to having had a rough few weeks. "Oh Alice. I'm so sorry," he spoke sympathetically. "If there's ever anything I can do for you or you want to talk, you know my door's always open to you, right?" Bentley felt the need to remind her. "Me? I've been really great to be honest with you. A lot going on but I always prefer to be kept busy. Especially when it's been a lot of good."
"I kn-know," Alice said, "I am dealing with it. I th-think it's something I need to d-do by m-myself," she explained and then she smiled, "Good. I-I'm happy that th-things are going great for you."
"I'm not planning on getting hammered or anything but it's sweet of you to share," Dominique replied appreciatively as she took a few sips from the bottle. "Have you been having a good nice, Alice?"
"Why not?" Alice asked curiously, "I mean, if th-there's any time to get hammered, it's New Year's Eve, r-right?" she giggled, "I am h-having a good night. Better than all the o-other nights I've had recently."
Alice sat on her front door stoop. Taking a sabbatical from work was not on her list of things to do in 2029 and she was stil reluctant to get the help she needed. Was it so bad that she wanted revenge on the people who killed her grandmother? She lifted a cigarette to her lips, a new habit she'd picked up to relieve stress. She didn't even bother trying to hide it when she spotted Fred walking up to her door, "Hey," she said simply.

Hazel shook her head, "Let's just say my childhood wasn't exactly filled with that kind of stuff."
"N-Now I have the overwhelming urge to w-watch the Flintsones with y-you. It's a classic," Alice explained, "But maybe an-another time unless you're l-looking for that kind of distraction."
